FEAR ResurrectionFeb 9, 2010 F.E.A.R. News 2 comments
FEAR Resurrection - is an alternative addon to the original game.
This group is for anyone who likes First Encounter Assault Recon.
FEAR Resurrection - is an alternative addon to the original game.
I think the problem is not much people know where to post, but there are active mod and map makers around, count me in!
This group is dead. I'm leaving.
...wow, so "glad" I joined this group.
Could someone at least discuss something about the actual game?
Actually yes, Don't you find deeply disappointing how F.E.A.R. is actually the only well accomplished game that successfully mixes both action and psychological horror? Save a few others also like Condemned 1 and 2, and maybe Metro 2033, but that one is on a very different concept.
All we see today is action and military shooters, sure they are awesome, games like Deus Ex Human Revolution, Crysis 2 are amazing games, but doesn't it disappoint you how little the care for making a horror FPS is? I honestly would love that someone thought about that besides Monolith, they are the only ones that can develop a horror FPS in such perfected manner.
I wonder what Monolith has up their sleeves right now, they have gone silent ever since F.E.A.R. 2's release and judging by their ground breaking background for horror releases, I can only hope they are developing an entirely new game.
this is stupid (the page is just a random spam ****)
Fear = F*** Everything And Run
Who is uploading images in a really low resolution?
Awesome game is Awesome.
Umm kinda quiet here ain't it :\
The game's awesome though .

George West senior scores scholarship to play softball
Stuard, a multi-sport star, chooses Northwestern St.
Much like Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, George West High School senior Randi Stuard will play in the Southland Conference next season.
The Longhorns shortstop, Stuard, signed a letter of intent Wednesday night to play softball for Division I Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, La. next season. The Demons are in the Southland Conference and will play against the Islanders next season.
"I don't think it will be tough playing against (Texas A&M-Corpus Christi)," said Stuard, who feels she has a good chance of starting at shortstop for Northwestern State as a freshman. "I get to come home (during road games next season) and have more people come out to support me. Hopefully, I can put on a show (for them).
"This has been my dream ever since I was little," Stuard added, "and I've pursued it and have done (a lot) to achieve it."
Stuard can say that again.
Stuard was a multi-sport star for George West the past three years before deciding to concentrate on club softball as a senior. She was the District 31-2A Most Valuable Player in softball last year, a Texas Association of Basketball Coaches' all Region IV-2A point guard this past season, a three-time IV-2A qualifier in track & field and a 2004 state qualifier in the triple jump and the 31-2A Defensive Player of the Year in volleyball as a junior.
Stuard said giving up basketball has been the hardest part of her decision, considering two years ago, she helped lead the Longhorns girls basketball team to its first regional semifinal appearance since 1981.
"My dad (Randy Stuard) said that I should play basketball, too, but I don't know about that," Randi Stuard said. "I would love to play basketball in college, but I think that would be too much for me right now. I'm sure going to miss it, though."
Probably not as much as the George West athletic program will miss Stuard and her big-play abilities, however.

In today's Gannett newspapers, we look at Gov. Andrew Cuomo's anti-corruption commission and its harsh criticism of the state Board of Elections.
The Moreland Commission's findings, as it turns out, sound a familiar tune.
From the Democrat and Chronicle:
In a long-awaited report, Governor Cuomo's anti-corruption panel made a series of sweeping recommendations to stem the tide of misconduct in Albany, including an overhaul of the state's lax election laws and who enforces them.
The year was 1990. The governor was Mario Cuomo. And not much has changed.
The state Board of Elections, the report concluded at the time, ...

BONNERS FERRY, Idaho There is more in the Bonners Ferry water tank than your average H20. Investigators have found vermin entering the tank in Bonners Ferry recently. It is the second time it has happened in just five years.
City leaders said they believe rodents and at least one snake have managed to creep into the tank. Leaders told KREM 2 News on Wednesday they are working to fix the issue as soon as possible.
Initial tests showed the water was safe to drink according to Bonners Ferry leaders. However, Bonners Ferry sent letters alerting 300 neighbors who receive water from the tank.
READ: Letter sent to Bonners Ferry residents
We've been all around it and scrutinized every inch of it, and they still manage to get in there, said Mayor David Anderson.
In July, the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality inspected the tank and found several mice and a snake inside. Test result for a bacterial infection came back negative.
Yet, in a letter sent to the Bonners Ferry leaders, the DEQ said their tests do not show potential viruses carried by vermin. DEQ leaders maintained that the tank was still being compromised, but Bonners Ferry leaders are not sure how to stop the critters from getting into the tank.
If we did, we would fix it immediately, insisted Anderson.
Vermin snuck into the tank before in 2009 according to DEQ records. The issue was discussed at opening meetings at the time, but Bonners Ferry leaders did not issue a public notice.
We felt at the time that our remedial actions were going to take care of it, added Anderson. You want to walk a fine line between informing the public and creating hysteria.
Anderson said for now, the Bonners Ferry workers will inspect the tank and its water at least one a week. They also increased the chlorine count.
We feel that the water is safe at this point and time, said Anderson.
Bonners Ferry leaders are planning to replace the roof of the tank by December.

I rate as his greatest melody the Et incarnatus est from his last mass.
You diminish Schubert totally. His music has all what you could wish: great melodies, daring harmonies, speedy rhythms, tension and so on.
Let's see, he's the 5th or at worst 6th GOAT in my book and I "diminish Schubert totally" or somehow don't rank him very high? You want me to chant his Gloria at an altar or something?
From what I've gathered you seem to be well into your retirement yet wont to display a mentality befitting that of the Fed worshippers you love to moan about. Part of maturity is being able to disagree without misrepresenting the other side or accusing them of impure motives unless you have a solid ground for it. I've already told you Schubert is one of my favorite composers and prefer him to Brahms even though I tend to rank the latter higher.
BTW the throbbing piano accompaniment of Op. 100's 2nd movement is indeed based on the Swedish folk song, but not the main theme on cello, which turns a good wistful tune into a timeless dirge of the most profound grief and yearning. IMO it's one of the top 4-5 greatest melodies ever written, another candidate being Schubert's own Serenade (or Ständchen for you Austrians/Germans).
The Unfinished is grandious from the beginning to its very end when Schubert is quasi leaving this world (this the reason why he did not complete it!A completion would not have given any sense as he already reached a better world). Schubert has proved rather often that he can master the great form: Great C-major symphony, Der Tod und das Mädchen (Death and the Maiden), G-Major String Quartett, Piano sonatas, String Quintett with that heavenly second movement (Rubinstein's favourite music...).
I never said Schubert didn't write masterpieces in the longer forms. My only point was that he was for the most part not as comfortable with the extended forms as, say, Bach, Mozart or his hero Beethoven. This has been acknowledged by his champion Dvorak in an otherwise highly complimentary article (written before Schubert's music became widely recognized, I should add) and by none other than the Grove Dictionary. I'm by no means being blasphemous here.

the lousy things about the match were fed's performance in set 4 and him not recovering & falling apart after djoker had saved those 2 MPs ...
I'll have to revisit the match sometime, but that wasn't exactly my impression. Also I think Fed tanked the 4th set to gear himself up for the 5th. It almost turned out to be the right decision... until he rolled in an overly safe 1st serve out wide on his 1st MP and Djoko made him pay with that big return seen around the world.
to be fair to djoker though , fed did serve darn well in both those matches, the wimby SF even more so ... having rewatched the wimby SF recently, I really couldn't blame djoker that much ....fed was serving exceptionally ....
though others like agassi, hewitt, connors, murray would've done a bit better (would put fed ahead as well when it comes to dealing with big servers on a medium to faster than medium surface )
I definitely think Murray would've done better (all other things being equal, of course). I've said this before but Murray is the best returner of this era, above Djoko. To me this becomes clearer when I see them play each other.
A fun factoid: in all of Fed's Wimby finals Murray is the only opponent who won more than half of Fed's 2nd-serve points. In Pete's Agassi was the one. Each I'd say is the best returner of his generation.
as far as passing shots go, from the start of the open era ; laver, rosewall, connors, borg, lendl, wilander, agassi, chang,hewitt, federer, nadal are clearly superior ... I'd rate others like bruguera, rios, kafelnikov, murray superior as well ...
Yeah, Nole is the one pick of Flink's that had my head scratching, and I say this as a fan (of both guys).
would take djoker over pete on slow HC ...
As you may recall I don't think the stats support the common (mis)conception that there's this big difference between "fast" and "slow" HCs. But if we're talking about the AO in particular I can see Djoko giving Pete all he could handle, though I'd still favor Pistol in the finals.
yeah, like I said it was close .... but roddick's performance in the majors was quite a bit better than fed's ... (also had the canada-cincy-USO triple )
and before the YEC started, IIRC, for fed to get to #1, he needed to win all matches & roddick to lose all of them ... a very unlikely scenario ...the 2nd part in particular ...
again, subjectively given fed's wimbledon & TMC performances in 2003, subjectively, I can understand rating fed over roddick ... but would any objective system ?
Let's say the player who won all his matches at the YEC was to receive some bonus points, enough to push Fed over Roddick. This would be a pretty "objective" system, don't you think? And that's just one among many possibilities.
To be clear I don't mean to discount the official ATP rankings completely. I remember Fed admitting that nerves got to him in his loss to Roddick at the Canada MS, as he was just about to become the official No. 1 for the 1st time in his career. Obviously there's no telling that Fed would've swept the YEC that same year had he been under the same pressure. Still that's not enough to make me treat the official rankings as some kind of a canon, because the ATP ranking system has seen and will likely see numerous changes over the organization's history--unlike, say, the prestige of the majors which has remained more or less the same since their inception (except for the AO) or, even better, that of the CYGS or the year-end No. 1 ranking (official or not) which, of course, carries a certain sociological weight limited not only to tennis.
yeah, only pete's record at majors in 99 read : absent, 2R, W and absent ..
agassi's read : 4R, W, F & W ...
that's a massive difference ...
if we're just going by level of play in "select" tournaments, then you could argue for agassi over pete in 95 ( better on HC, better on clay ), argue rafter over pete in 98 (got the canada-cincy-USO triple )
as you probably know, sampras barely edged out agassi points wise in 95 ..
subjective analysis is ok when it is close ... but pete/agassi in 99, apart from h2h, there isn't a strong argument for sampras
agassi's RG win here is one defining factor for me ...
agassi was also on a tear in 95 before the USO ... turned out he had peaked a bit early, in it !?
take any objective ranking system, pete wouldn't come close to agassi in 99 points wise ..
Again let's say you give bonus points for beating the world's No. 1, even more for repeating the same over and over. You can say this is too subjective, but if you think about it we do this all the time when trying to judge the level of competition, the most impressive victories, etc.
Another thing to keep in mind is that rankings aren't there solely to assess the achievements of each and every player, but also to organize the tour and keep the tournament directors happy. That's why I disagree with the understandable but misguided view that the majors should carry more ranking points than under the current system, because such a heavy emphasis on the Slams would make players slack off even more at the smaller events than they do now. At the same time becoming a Slam champion is simply a huge milestone: though she/he was officially No. 1 many fans rightly didn't consider Wozniacki superior to Serena or Clijsters, or Rios to Sampras or Rafter. One can accept the current rankings for organizational purposes but devise their own for the "real" placements of the players.
Also, there's no rule set in stone that says there must be a single No. 1 for the year. I'm perfectly fine with Agassi sharing the prize with Pete in '95 & '99 (though, again, I do think Pistol was better), Vilas and/or Connors with Borg in '77, etc. In fact this is exactly what happens in a fair number of rankings for the previous years, and some of us "historians" err in applying this compromise to the old-timers but not to the more recent candidates.
as far as the gonzales example is concerned, that's quite different ... that time h2h was lot more significant ... he lead rosewall 15-4 h2h that year ... clearly was the best player overall until he became inactive ...he retired part-time convinced he'd beat all his challengers ...
But is the '60 championship all that different from, say, the YEC, where the top four players with the best H2Hs advance to the SFs? And was Pete not the best player until he himself became inactive... and also after he came back when he thrashed Agassi in the '99 YEC final? And what is tennis if not a collection of H2Hs? After all it's an individual game with only two opponents.
Again there are many ways to look at this. The ATP ranking system is just one of them.
.....should restrain myself at times
Always a good approach... as long as you restrain restraining yourself at times.

A 35-year-old Golden Gate man is accused of having sex with a minor on at least five occasions.
Yon Garcia Gomez faces four felony counts of lewd/lascivious battery on a person 12 to 15 years old.
On Sunday night, the victim's grandmother came out of her bedroom and saw Gomez run out of the home, according to an arrest report. The family confronted the victim after seeing a condom on the floor.
The victim later told detectives she met Gomez at a pool a few months ago and began texting him. Gomez asked her to be his girlfriend, she said, and about one or two months ago, they began having sex.
The victim said the two would have sex when her family wasn't home or when they were asleep.
A medical exam confirmed the victim's account, according to an arrest report.
Gomez, whose address was redacted from reports, was taken to the Naples Jail Center. As of Tuesday, he remained jailed in lieu of bonds totaling $40,000.

Senator Bob Casey Jr. (D) has released a new ad that hits Tea Party Tom Smith's (R) resume as a coal mine owner pretty hard:
Bob Casey, Jr.: I'm Bob Casey and I approve this message.The Associated Press is able to back up a lot of the allegations made in this ad:
Narrator: Who is Tom Smith? He's made a fortune running unsafe coal mines. 500 accidents and injuries. 2,000 violations, fire hazards, faulty equipment. No he's running for Senate with plans that are dangerous for your family. Cut taxes for millionaires like himself, raise taxes on the middle-class and end medicare as we know it in two years. Tea Party Tom Smith, extremely wrong for Pennsylvania.
Tom Smith, the candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania who made a small fortune in the coal mining business, ran mines that routinely performed poorly on a federal statistic that measured workers' days lost because of on-the-job injuries, federal mining safety records show. - Associated Press, 10/28/12
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
I think Casey is taking a hint from President Obama's campaign style attacks on Bain Capital. Smith, like Romney, has been touting his business record and has been trying to paint himself as a job creator. This ad highlights Smith's radical anti-safety views and hits him hard. With so many representatives in Congress that are on the coal industry's payroll, do we really want an actual coal baron with a shady history of violating safety hazards representing the people of Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate? Senator Casey has been endorsed by the AFL-CIO. Richard Trumka, head of the AFL-CIO had this to say about Senator Casey:
The AFL-CIO's president, Richard Trumka, a third-generation coal miner from Pennsylvania, shot back quickly, saying Casey, not Smith, is a better ally for miners.The Philadelphia's most recent poll showed Casey beating Smith by 7 points and Casey has just received the endorsement from his home town newspaper, the Scranton Times-Tribune, for a second term:
"When we fought to protect miners' safety and health on the job, Tom Smith was on the other side," Trumka said. - Associated Press, 10/28/12
Mr. Casey had some high-profile assignments as a freshman, especially as chairman of the Foreign Relations subcommittee responsible for the Middle East, and as chairman of the Joint Economic Committee.Wealthy guys like Romney and Smith don't care about worker's rights and safety. They only care about making a huge profit and giving themselves tax breaks. Senator Casey has proven to be a fighter for working-class Pennsylvanians and strongly supports policies that protect workers and help grow the middle-class. Lets keep him in the Senate:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Those assignments did not distract Mr. Casey, however, from issues of particular importance to Pennsylvania. He pressed the Obama administration to crack down on unfair trade practices involving steel and other products. He was the original sponsor of the bill that led to the payroll tax cut that has helped millions get through the recession. Mr. Casey has been a champion of reforms in milk pricing that are crucial to dairy farmers and the future of the state's largest industry. He has promoted life science industries that, ideally, will help drive the economic resurgence of Northeast Pennsylvania.
Amid the volatile political atmosphere in Washington, Mr. Casey is best known, perhaps, as a centrist - a moderate Democrat who can work on both sides of the aisle, including with Sen. Pat Toomey, the Pennsylvania Republican. - Scrnaton Times-Tribune, 10/29/12

A 4 hour ferry from Bali to Lombok then a short speed boat trip to the Gilis.
Gili Islands, one of our favorite places in the WORLD.
The Gili Islands (this is redundant as Gili actually means 'small island') are three (Trawangan, Meno and Air) beautiful droplets in the ocean near to Lombok (another larger lovely island). Each one is less than one square mile and has 360 degrees of beach. No motorized traffic so feet, bicycles, and horse transport only. Use of most machinery is prohibited so buildings are built by hand and pools are dug by shovel. This combines to make them a most relaxing and usually quiet place. Beautiful coral and tons of turtles (there is a local conservation program) make for great diving and snorkelling.
Satellite view. Beaches all around!
Your first view of the Gili islands.
Getting off the boat.
No motorized vehicles on any of the islands, just bare feet, bicycles, and dumping decorated horses.
Basically it is hell on Earth.

The job of the Elevator Mechanic is to install, inspect, and maintain the operation of elevators during normal circumstances, as well as be able to respond quickly to trouble calls for assistance in times of emergency. Most Elevator Mechanics pass through a very involved apprenticeship as journeymen before being able to begin working without supervision. The Elevator Mechanic has a very demanding job which involves being on call extensively, at times for a straight 24 hours.Read More...
The Elevator Mechanic is called upon to use any number of tools ranging from the average spanner and soldering iron to very specialized tools such as the pneumatic hammer, meggars, voltmeter, and even a laptop equipped with diagnostics software. The job very often requires that the Elevator Mechanic manipulate large and unwieldy pieces of metal and equipment in extremely cramped spaces, in addition to carrying very heavy equipment up multiple flights of stairs.
Elevator Mechanics very often work in pairs, one trained and one apprentice, because a wide variety of tasks require work to be done in tandem. Elevator Mechanics work closely with building supervisors and safety inspectors in the course of their work, in an effort to service both the needs of the building's owner and the safety concerns of any governing body which may hold sway over installation of an elevator. Elevator Mechanics must maintain frequent communication with their fellow employees to limit downtime and maximize efficiency in terms of call-ins, which ensures that elevators under the purview of the company remain safe and operational.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Elevator Mechanics generally obtain higher compensation for more plentiful past experience. Salaries of relatively inexperienced workers fall in the neighborhood of $50K, but folks who have racked up five to 10 years see a notably higher median of $74K. Elevator Mechanics with one to two decades of relevant experience report an average salary of approximately $83K. Veterans who have surpassed the 20-year mark may make only slightly more than those who are navigating the mid-career stage; the more senior group reports median earnings of around $91K.

Employers cut 1,800 jobs last month~
ST. PAUL - The state unemployment rate edged up 0.1 percent to a seasonally adjusted 7.4 percent in March, according to figures released today by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED).
The U.S. rate remained unchanged at 9.7 percent in March for the third consecutive month.The state lost 1,800 jobs in March. February's employment count was revised to reflect 1,600 jobs lost instead of the 3,400 jobs that were previously reported lost. Over the past year, Minnesota has lost 1.6 percent of its jobs, while the U.S. lost 1.7 percent of its jobs during that period.
"The March figures demonstrate that economic recoveries are not smooth processes, with some months stronger than others," said DEED Commissioner Dan McElroy. "Still, we're seeing some positive trends in Minnesota's employment picture, including an increase in the labor force and the length of the average work week, and steady declines in year-over-year job losses."

Standoff - Working or not?
Today, I discovered that the old Cardassian Diplomacy Mission called Standoff was revamped and now gives out the title "Detective", but when I went to do it, I wasn't able to get the mission started.
I went to the Cardassians, and I was told go see a Cadet Samua by the Federation station on Hathon, and he wouldn't talk to me (no interact icon either).
So could someone please tell me what is going wrong? Are those who completed the old Diplomacy Missions unable to redo it to get the new Title?

Why do you need to blur someone's face? To protect their identity or privacy, or if they didn't sign a "talent release" which allows you to broadcast their likeness. This comes in handy for anything you need to blur out, really: maybe you need to censor an offensive word on someone's T-shirt, or they have branding you can't show on your broadcast. Whatever the case may be, learning how to blur can be a handy tool when you're not sure if something should be shown in your video. Here's how to do it in Adobe Premiere.
Blur Stuff in Premiere
- Find the clip with the face you need to blur in the timeline.
- You'll need to duplicate the clip and place it just above the original clip. To do this, click on the original while holding down the Alt/Option key, place the silhouette above the clip and release.
- Double-click your copy.
- Go to the Effects Tab. Search for and apply the Mosaic effect (it will be under Video Effects/Stylize).
- Search for the Crop effect and apply it to the duplicate clip (under Video Effects/Transform).
- You've got one more effect to apply: the Gaussian blur (under Video Effects/Blur & Sharpen).
- After all three effects are applied, go to your Mosaic effect and adjust the horizontal and vertical settings, where you can make the blocks big or small.
- Go to your Gaussian blur effect and increase the blur in order to make your blocks smoother.
- Go to your Crop effect and make sure all the toggle animation buttons are highlighted, which creates a keyframe that allows you to move your effect when the person's head moves.
- Click the square box next to the word Crop for a bounding box to appear around the footage.
- Adjust the box so that the effect only covers the subject's face.
- Now scroll through your footage every couple of frames so that you can adjust the blur to stay on the subject's face. Keep all of your keyframes enabled because you want it to follow the subject throughout the clip.
Like these tips? Here are some more great things you can do in Premiere:

could be important in assessing the potential for establishment if it were possible to reliably quantify the effects of stochasticity on specific immigrant populations.
Abiotic forces (such as climate) and biotic forces (such as the availability of hosts, vectors, pollinators, or mutualists and the presence of competitors, predators, and pathogen antagonists) also affect the establishment of nonindigenous plants, arthropods, and pathogens. The life-history traits that equip particular species to deal with their environment are crucial in determining their survival.
Much of the quantitative information about the interaction between abiotic and biotic forces and the life-history traits that contribute to a species' establishment has come from monitoring the release of nonindigenous insects for biological control and from after-the-fact studies of species' invasions. Although research on a particular species or event can permit conclusions to be drawn about the combination of factors that lead to its survival or extinction, it has not been possible to generalize the findings to other events or other species. Little is known about the phenotypic plasticity of potential plant pests in different environments: we have scant knowledge of the range of tolerance of most plants, pathogens, and arthropods; and we have so little information about the stochasticity and amplitude of abiotic and biotic forces in any environment that reasonable predictions of the strength of their impact on a newcomer cannot be made.
Regardless of those limitations, key points have been identified. For example, climate, latitude, and the availability of a host appear to be among the primary determinants of the suitability of a habitat for insects. Consequently, insects from low latitudes might be less likely to become established in northern latitudes than the reverse, because these insects might find climatic conditions intolerable, fail to find a suitable host, enter diapause (a period of dormancy) too late in autumn, or break diapause too early in spring.
Other clues to the establishment by nonindigenous insects are found in research on diet breadth in insects, the temporal availability and spatial distribution of hosts, the similarity of potential invaders as the prey of predators in the new environment, and the diversity of the predator population. Establishment might also be associated with parthenogenesis, long-lived adult stages, high fecundity, and small bodies.
For pathogens, the availability of a genetically compatible host is critical. Knowledge of the regional distribution of pathogens and the frequency of different avirulence genes can be important in predicting the resistance or susceptibility of a plant taxon (that is, variety, race, subspecies, or genotype). If the virulence of a potential invading pathogen is known, the vulnerability of a plant taxon can be predicted rather accurately. Traits that appear to enhance establishment of plant pathogens are a short infection cycle, a high rate of production of infectious units, and a long infectious period.
The abiotic and biotic factors that affect the establishments of plants are less well understood. The most frequent biotic constraint on plants is attack by pathogens. Plants can have diverse characteristics that contribute to survival, such as

Stinger 2.75" Pro XL Golf Tees - 200 Pack
Product Information:
The Stinger® 2.75" Pro XL Bamboo Golf Tee is designed to suit the preferences of most players on the teeing ground and minimizes golf club obstruction and deflection to maximize club head stability upon impact. It enables a golfer to tee the ball high enough to accommodate larger headed drivers, but is not considered an oversized, specialty length tee.
- Stinger Tee create less resistance and less drag than regular tee
- The golf ball leaves the Stinger Tee faster, with less backspin, flies at a preferred, more penetrating trajectory, and rolls farther
- Thinner head and shaft of the Stinger Golf Tee minimize golf club obstruction and deflection, thereby maximizing club head stability upon impact
- Improves golf ball flight direction as well as distance
- Stinger Golf Tees will biodegrade in less than half the time of regular tees.
- USGA conforming
- A new proprietary water based finish creates a super slick surface on the new Stinger tee, which has been proven to further reduce spin by approximately 3%
- The tip of the new Stinger tee has been made longer and sharper to penetrate and "bite" the ground quicker. This allows golfers to more easily use the full height of the tee
- Stinger tees are now made from white birch, a grainier, more flexible and forgiving wood

As the BJP leads in one of the most frenzied elections that India has seen, they are jumping the gun and already making preparations to celebrate the victory of their lynchpin Narendra Modi.
However, reports from Ghaziabad claim that there are disturbances being created by BJP workers outside the Anaj Mandi counting centre, where BJP workers are creating a ruckus.
BJP workers create a ruckus at Ghaziabad's Anaj Mandi counting centre, police control the situation.
— Ankit Lal (@ankitlal) May 16, 2014
This is similar to the protests raised by Congress workers in Varanasi where Narendra Modi was denied permission to hold rallied for security reasons. In a constituency where the BJP is leading there may be instances of chaos and it remains to be seen if they escalate to violence.

The End of a Useful Benefit?
President Barack Obama's recent new budget documentation briefly mentions a desire to curtail file and suspend as an option for Social Security benefit filers. The administration views this option as one way for high-income folks to take advantage of the government. Right or wrong, this spells danger for one of your potentially valuable benefits.

Got up this morning to find frost was all over my conservatory doors - it looks very beautiful out there!
Here are some pictures, i couldnt get any closer as the camera focussed on the garden behind rather than the frost infront. Oh, and s'kuse any dirty marks, the cats seem to think that an open window is the same as a door

"Full of dogs"
"When I arrived there were four dogs in the lobby, followed by two large dog riding with me and their owners in the elevator. No hotel can be clean with that many dogs. And perfuming the room - to mask the dog smell does not make the room clean. The front desk staff were very helpful and kind."

"Great place to stay!"
"Best beds in all our travels! This hotel has an exceptionally friendly staff, welcoming and helpful. We found the room very comfortable and clean. We will be travelling this route frequently and will certainly be choosing to stop here again."

"A Nice hotel for a small town"
"Very spacious room with 2 Queen sized beds, 2 sinks, TV & fridge. The room was clean, but dusty, I would guess that it had been awhile since someone stayed in that room. Hotel had nice lobby, swimming pool and hot tub, fitness center and a guest laundry room. The best part was their continental breakfast, there was lots to choose from, from cereal to yogurt to toast to bagles, etc and eggs and sausages were actually served (I stayed at the Days Inn & Best Western on this visit to BC and none of the other 2 hotels served eggs or meat at their "continental breakfast"!) I would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Salmon Arm."
