Time To Meet The Parents!Submitted by LibertyOrDeathNJ on Sat, 08/24/2013 - 04:02
I been dating some one for a couple months now and today was the day to meet her parents. She kind of scared me a little by telling me, her parents are into politics and are very passionate about it. So if I say something wrong, they will hate me for ever.
I was thinking, oh boy this could get real bad. Since I was really into politics as well.
My girl friend hates politics and doesn't care for any of it and gets quite upset when I bring it up. But I am working on her.
As we rolled up to the house, I happened to see a big American Flag hanging above the front door.
I initially thought, oh boy, they are most likely Republicans.
As we walked up the door I saw a sticker.. Guess what it was?....
The NRA sticker. I then said to my self out loud so my girl friend could hear, "Republicans".
We walked in and both parents were nice. Every thing seemed fine. I didn't bring up anything until the dessert came out. Her little brother was in the living room with his friends playing video games. But the dad yelled at him and said "go play video games in your room, and put CNN on".
I then thought, oh boy again... he's a liberal.
The mom walked over to the couch and sat next to him. Guess what was on?........... Piers Morgan.
I looked at my girl friend,smiled at her and shook my head.
While I was eating the dessert I over heard the show. Of course it was some more brainwashing with Piers having a host claiming Video games cause violence. As the show went on. I heard another yell...
"Really??? Are you kidding??!!"
I then started to think, wait a minute, he doesn't sound happy.
He then changed the channel to Football and said, "Yes.. Football".
I looked around and their was Green Bay Packers gear all over the place. So I was assuming they were Packer fans. I was too, so I walked over and said, "Packers fans huh? So am I!!"
The wife got up and left and said, "Please, join him, He needs a football friend to talk to".
I sat down and said, "Piers Morgan huh? You like that guy?
He looked at me and said, "Hell No!! The man is a fraud!."
I agreed and said, "I can't stand the man". Looks like we have 2 things in common. We both laughed. I then asked, "So your a republican?"
He frowned and said, I wish, but its too bad they were stupid enough to elect Romney the Rhino.
I then was shocked and thought, wait a minute, not a Republican?
He then said, "Republicans and Democrats are both frauds!".
I agreed and asked who he voted for in the 2012 election.
Surprisingly... he said he wrote in RON PAUL! lol
I was like whoa! Are you kidding me? I was a delegate for Ron Paul.
He was in shocked and yelled at my girl friend to marry me lol.
I gave my girl friend a thumbs up and she shook her head and said,
"great"... sarcastically.
LOL.. Ron Paul! Who would have guess that?
Oh yeah.. He is a die hard Alex Jones listener too. And the Wife is a big Rand supporter.
Sorry guys. I had to share both stories today. I didn't want to flood the forum but I thought I should share both of my experiences this week.
Live on! Live Free! Stand Tall!

Congratulations :)
Have a long and happy life with liberty loving people around :)
Btw, why did you post this in the humor section?
How could she not know?
How could she not know you were both vocal RP supporters? One could more easily overlook that you were both cannibals or made of fire.
Currently consuming: Morehouse's "Better off free", FDR; Wii U; NEP Football
She is starting to
get it now though. She is listening now.
She knows
nothing about politics. She knew I was a Ron Paul supporter because of my bumper sticker, but she doesn't care. She hates politics. And wants nothing to do with it. She had no idea that her parents would agree with me.
You do know people like my girl friend exist right?
And not only women... men too
They just don't care. Taylor Swift means more to her.
Loved your story
This will piss off the women here on the DP, but a man's gotta say what's on his mind...right?
Women were not allowed to vote when America became a country and your statement..."My girl friend hates politics and doesn't care for any of it and gets quite upset when I bring it up." speaks volumes.
Women seem to be genetically more afraid than men, this is why they support candidates that offer some sort of "protection" and will vote for protective legislation too if they're ever elected representatives.
Get to know her father and everything will go smoothly for you, when she realize that you're just like him.
Recall..."the women vote"...they vote for looks, Clinton is an example, and do we really want people who vote for looks voting at all? Think about it...most women are not up to speed on the issues. Sad, but true.
You're even more ignorant than you claim
women to be.
Just because the LSM likes to highlight those kinds of women doesn't mean all women think that way. Also sounds as if you're saying no man voted for Clinton and that remark is just plain ridiculous.
White property owners and those who paid duties, imposts and excises were given the right to vote in America's early history because it was believed that people with skin in the game would be more suspicious of who was running and what those politicians would do with their money. A few states allowed freed slaves to vote. NJ election law initially allowed any resident to vote - that means women could and did vote there.
Actually, I'd love it if we went back to that 'skin in the game' system because the political landscape would dramatically change, and for the better, I'm sure.
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.

Happy for you. :)
Happy for you. :)
Glad to hear you'll only have the girl friend "to work on". ;)
Next, multiply ! :)

Reminds a little of my ex-girlfriend...
in an offhand way:
My first girlfriend liked me lot, but her mom hated me.
My next liked me and so did her mom, but her dad couldn't stand me.
My next liked me, so did her mom and dad, but...her husband...
Small World Huh?
When Ron was running in 2012, I spoke to every older person that I knew about Ron. Each one of them were on board with Ron Paul, and voted for him. The movement is stronger than we think.
That is
why they tried every thing they could to make sure Ron Paul doesn't win the GOP. If so, it would have been a landslide victory. They were scared. Ron Paul will go down in history for that. He shook up the establishment. They almost lost.
So happy for you
Ron Paul and the truth really brings people together. When i am a little inebriated and meet another Ron Paul supporter I usually give them a hug immediately...ive been giving out quite a few hugs recently.
It's not funny. Well maybe a
It's not funny. Well maybe a little. Congratulations.
that's really wonderful--
so rare, too--
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--
Good stuff
I enjoyed that little story and I was kinda on the edge of my seat also.
Glad you decided to share it.

Seahawks fan here, sorry about the other day. Who am I kidding? Not sorry at all!
Uh Oh
Some one marked you down lol. Must have been a Bears fan.... or possibly Seattle.
Watch out
You might be talking to "Dad" on the DP and not even know it. Maybe you should ask what his username here is.
He knew nothing about the site. But he does now lol.
Kiss of death son
if the parents like you......you can be rest assured that she will be breaking up with you soon.

I hope not
lol, we were friends for a long time before we started dating
I bet you end up marrying her!

Great story You had me on the
Great story
You had me on the edge of my seat... really.

Chronicles the transformation and the distinct approaches
NEW DELHI: The turnaround story of the Indian Railways is being told once again, this time by the very man who helped Lalu Prasad to script the success story.
The book, written by Mr. Prasad's man Friday Sudhir Kumar jointly with a research scholar Shagun Mehrotra, is scheduled to be released on Saturday.
"Bankruptcy to Billions" chronicles the transformation and the distinct approaches adhered that have laid the foundation for a new journey. Mr. Prasad's Officer on Special Duty is an IAS officer of the Bihar cadre. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has written the foreword. President Pratibha Patil will release the book at Rashtrapati Bhavan.
"I've not written the book in the first person because it is not a personal story. I've not foisted myself and refrained from repeatedly referring to Mr. Prasad. I didn't want to individualise it. My role was to act as a channel of communication between the Minister and the Ministry and the Railway Board."
The reforms to balance the commercial and social obligations of the Railways were based on the analysis of 60 years data right from 1947 and Mr. Kumar has sought to document for posterity how recommendations of the World Bank and the Rakesh Mohan committee were not appropriate for a politically sensitive organisation like the Railways.
In the process, Mr. Kumar also answers Mr. Prasad's critics who suggest that the so-called turnaround is nothing but a sleight of hand.
Mr. Kumar feels that the same model could be introduced in other politically sensitive sectors like power and agriculture for all-round inclusive growth.

Quail Lodge Golf Club announced today the debut of The Quail Marketplace where motorcycle owners and collectors can buy and sell bikes at the fourth annual
The Quail Motorcycle Gathering
, taking place on Saturday, May 5, 2012, at Quail Lodge Golf Club in Carmel, Calif. The new outdoor corral will allow enthusiasts to peruse vintage and modern motorcycles and buy directly from owners without the traditional auction fees ($25 registration per bike on display).
The Quail Motorcycle Gathering is adding The Quail Motorcycle Marketplace to its fourth annual event, providing an outlet for collectors and enthusiasts to buy and sell their bikes. The Gathering will also see the US debut of the 1972 Magni Rocket 3 during a special guest appearance by Magni CEO Giovani Magni.
"As our event continues to grow, we are excited to add a new element to The Quail Motorcycle Gathering this year," said Gordon McCall, co-founder of The Quail. "The Quail Marketplace is another way for motorcycle enthusiasts to get together at the event and buy and sell bikes the old fashion way."
One of this year's most anticipated motorbike debuts will be the U.S. unveiling of the 1972 Magni Rocket 3 by CEO Giovani Magni of legendary Italian motorcycle builder, Magni Motorcycles. Commissioned by co-owner Jerry Liggett of TripleTecs, a renowned BSA/Triumph Triple specialist enterprise, the latest Magni creation is the only Magni with a British engine, combining a powerful 930cc BSA Rocket 3 full-race engine with a rolling chassis based on Magni's MV Agusta race bike experience.
Additional key motorcycles on display include:
• Gary Kohs' collection of 32 MV Agusta motorcycles – featuring the 1953 Isle of Man winner, an ex-works 125 c.c. MV Agusta and the 125 c.c. MV Agusta World Championship bike from 1956.
• Thom McIlhattan's collection of Harley-Davidson motorcycles – five impressive bikes, including a 1909 Harley-Davidson Model 5A and a 1964 Harley-Davidson FLH Duo-Glide Panhead.
• Steven Lawrence's 1962 BSA Gold Star motorcycle – an original East Coast Gold Star Clubman bike found in abandoned condition and restored by Lawrence to its original state.
In between mingling with collectors and enthusiasts, attendees will view the latest products from prominent motorcycle manufacturers, dealerships, accessories and lifestyle vendors, including leading sponsors Breitling USA, and Ducati North America. Guests will also enjoy live musical entertainment and a barbeque lunch.
Enthusiasts are invited to participate in the full concours judging with the Best of Show winner receiving a Breitling watch and bottle of Roederer Estate Brut. The Breitling Circle of Champions Awards Ceremony will be immediately followed by a press conference where media attendees will have the opportunity to interview Gordon McCall and winners.
To kick off The Quail Motorcycle Gathering, guests are invited to hit the road with their fellow enthusiasts and join in
The Quail Ride
on Friday, May 4, 2012. Limited to 70 participants, the one-day ride will wind through 100 miles of Carmel and Salinas Valley back roads and conclude with a private dinner. The fee to participate in The Quail Ride is $295 per rider, and includes a gift bag, lunch, parade laps at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, and admission to an intimate reception and dinner featuring special guest speakers. Ride participants will also receive a ticket to The Quail Motorcycle Gathering and an invitation to display their motorcycle as an entrant.
Tickets to The Quail Motorcycle Gathering are still available and cost $65 per person ($15 for children 12 and under), and include lunch and live musical entertainment. To purchase event tickets, please visit

Perhaps, fed up with the perfunctory attitude of Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) authorities in completing the formalities to acquire land for formation of Arkavathy Layout sites, the allottees, who have been fighting for their legitimate rights since 2006, have decided to approach the high court for justice.
According to reliable sources, over two dozens of allottees on Monday filed writ of mandamus in the HC. Writ of mandamus is an extraordinary writ commanding an official to perform a ministerial act that the law recognises as an absolute duty.
The allottees, who have been waiting for the BDA to complete all the formalities for the past six years, are not only complaining against the delay but also on the lack of infrastructure. They allege that BDA authorities have reduced the width of a road between Geddalahalli and Block No 18 of Arkavathy Layout to 20 ft from the proposed 60 ft.
"It is just a mockery by the BDA authorities. The BDA commissioner had promised us to commence the development work in October. Later, he promised to take up the work by January. But, even after the end of February, no development work has been taken,'' says Shiva Prakash, president of Arkavathy Layout Allottees' Association. Recently, the allottees have sent an email to the BDA commissioner, urging him to complete all formalities as early as possible.
"The purpose of writing this email is to update you. We are knocking the doors of high court in the next seven days. We have decided to file a writ of mandamus since the allotment of sites was delayed by more than six years,'' the allottees told BDA commissioner in an email.
They suspect a nexus between BDA engineers and the land mafia as the main reason for the delay in completing the formation of Arkavathy Layout sites. It is quite surprising to know that around 5,000 allottees have been paying property tax to the BDA for the past few years for sites registered on their names but not handed over to them.
"It is quite surprising to know that the BDA authorities have reduced the width of the road to 20 ft from the proposed 60 ft. One private land was notified by the BDA for the formation of this layout. But, later it was denotified. I suspect because of this private land, the BDA engineers have reduced the width of the road,'' alleges Sanjay Marlecha, secretary, Arkavathy Layout Allottees' Association.

I love Margaret , but I love a movie called House of Pleasures even more. (It's known elsewhere under the less porny title House of Tolerance.) Like Margaret, Bertrand Bonello's dreamy look at a tony, turn-of-the-century Parisian brothel was initially hated, with some at Cannes calling it the fest's worst. It fared better at Toronto, where its fans succumbed to its opium-induced vibe, its fearless silliness (anachronistic use of the Moody Blues, plus a moment involving, well, "semen tears") and its deeply sad look at an era on the wane. In a year stacked silly with films about end times (Melancholia, Take Shelter, etc.), this mini-apocalypse was my favorite.
Divorce fueled the calm and exacting Romanian film Tuesday, After Christmas, as well as the forthcoming Iranian A Separation, which resembles the rock solid drama of Ibsen and is essentially perfect. Meanwhile that country's undisputed master, Abbas Kiarostami, was bumbling about Italy with Juliette Binoche, making the old school mindfuck Certified Copy.
Like Copy, a personality crisis also afflicted the titular hero of the unbearably intense Martha Marcy May Marlene , while that film's leaps through time were nearly as accomplished as the ones in another wondrously imperfect beast, The Tree of Life. While Terrence Malick's Cannes-winner exhumed the past—not just the '60s, but the beginning of the universe and the era of dinosaurs—Nicolas Winding Refn brought back the '80s with Drive, which is Michael Mann by way of John Hughes and as awesome as that sounds.
Death reared its head in Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, Thai master Apichatpong Weerasethakul's trance-y meditation on death and nature—a fantasia where the deceased come back as animal-man hybrids and women receive cunnilingus from talking catfish. And then there was Rubber, aka the "killer tire movie"—a hilarious non-sequitur that people mistakenly assumed was actually a "killer tire movie."

More incentives and regulations on the way to encourage skyrise greenery
Published on Jun 12, 2014 11:35 AM
SINGAPORE - New incentives and regulations are in store to encourage private building owners and developers to include skyrise greenery in their projects, Minister for National Development Khaw Boon Wan said in a blog post on Thursday.
"Our aim is to make Singapore a great garden, and a great home," he said, adding that the Urban Redevelopment Authority will announce details shortly. The MND is taking this step in view of the success of the URA's existing Landscaping for Urban Spaces and High Rises (Lush) programme.
Lush encourages the provision of well-planted communal green spaces at both ground and higher levels, including sky terraces and roof gardens. For instance, bonus gross floor area is granted to Orchard and Downtown Core developments, which can be used for outdoor refreshment areas on the rooftop if building owners provide landscaping.
In areas like Marina Bay and Jurong Gateway, the URA also requires developers to replace the greenery displaced with green communal spaces at least equivalent to the land area of the development - a "100 per cent replacement", said Mr Khaw.

Seat of government
The seat of government is (as defined by Brewer's Politics) "the building, complex of buildings or city from which a government exercises its authority".[1]
The national government is usually located in the capital. So in most countries the capital and the seat of government are the same city, for example Ankara which is the capital and seat of government of Turkey. In the United Kingdom, the government (parliament, ministries and royal palace) is seated in the City of Westminster, a part of London, the capital.
The terms are not completely synonymous however, while in some countries the seat of government differs from the capital, for example in the Netherlands where Amsterdam is the capital but The Hague is the seat of government.
Local and regional authorities usually have a seat (administrative centre) as well.

WORLD SERIES WATCH: Sox win 3-1, lead Series 3-2
By starting Craig at first base, the Cardinals put another right-handed bat in the lineup against lefty Jon Lester. Rookie slugger Matt Adams, who bats left-handed, was on the bench.
Craig batted sixth and grounded into an inning-ending double play in the second.
Shane Robinson started in center field against the lefty instead of Jon Jay. Robinson batted second and Beltran moved down to cleanup.
REMATCH: Wonder what kind of crazy finish we'll get tonight in a pivotal Game 5.
With the best-of-seven Series tied at two games apiece and headed back to Boston after this one, it's Jon Lester on the mound for the Red Sox against St. Louis ace Adam Wainwright.
Rematch of Game 1, won by Boston in an 8-1 rout. Expect a better outing from Wainwright this time, especially at home.
The Red Sox don't really have that elite, Cy Young Award ace that several other playoff teams rely on. Lester, however, is the closest thing to it for Boston. And he's been at his best on the brightest stage.
The left-hander has not allowed a run in two career World Series starts, both wins. He pitched 5 2-3 innings in the 2007 clincher against Colorado and 7 2-3 innings to beat Wainwright in this year's opener.
Overall, he's 5-4 with a 2.22 ERA in 12 career postseason games, including 10 starts.
A strange-looking substance in Lester's glove drew attention after Game 1, but he and the Red Sox insisted it was simply legal rosin.
The temperature at Busch Stadium is a very comfortable 61 degrees, and we're underway.
PROTECTING BIG PAPI: Shane Victorino was out of Boston's starting lineup again, replaced in right field by Daniel Nava.
Victorino was scratched from Game 4 on Sunday night because of lower back stiffness. His replacement in the batting order, Jonny Gomes, hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer in a 4-2 win.
Red Sox manager John Farrell said Victorino was "much improved" from Sunday and "probably could have started today, so he's available at full capacity."
Farrell shuffled the lineup a bit, with Dustin Pedroia, Ortiz and Gomes each moving up a spot. Pedroia batted second, Ortiz third and Gomes at cleanup. Nava was dropped from second to fifth.
"I feel like we need to lengthen out the lineup behind David," Farrell said. "We haven't really put together many big innings, and that's a credit to their pitching. We feel the more we can lengthen out and give ourselves chances up and down the lineup, that's where we're at today."
Boston's Nos. 7-9 hitters were 2 for 43 (.047) with two walks and three RBIs in the first four games of the Series.
With Lester on the mound, David Ross was behind the plate instead of Jarrod Saltalamacchia again. Ross has usually been paired with Lester lately.
WHAT NEXT? Both teams buzzed about the weird endings the previous two nights, the first postseason games to end on an obstruction call and a pickoff.
"It has been a strange couple of games," Cardinals second baseman Matt Carpenter said. "Baseball is a game that something you've never seen before can happen every day. I've been playing this game for a while, and there's things that happen all the time that will be the first time that I've ever seen something like that happen. So that's what makes this game great."
Red Sox reliever Brandon Workman said anything in the postseason is new for him.
"We never made the playoffs in any of my years in the minor leagues," he said.

Sunderland hope to tie up Buckley deal in next 24 hours (From The Advertiser Series)

Sunderland hope to tie up Buckley deal in next 24 hours
Updated 8:29am Thursday 14th August 2014 in Sport By Steph Clark, Sports Reporter
STILL KEEN: Sunderland are close to signing Brighton's Will Buckley, while Gus Poyet remains hopeful of landing Fabio Borini
SUNDERLAND hope to conclude the £2.5m signing of Brighton and Hove Albion's Will Buckley in the next 24 hours, but the winger's arrival will not signal the end of Gus Poyet's interest in Fabio Borini.
The Black Cats have been in talks with the Championship club over the last few days and it is understood a deal worth in the region of £2.5m was finally agreed yesterday.
Buckley was expected at the club's training base yesterday afternoon to undergo a medical and the Black Cats are hopeful of completing the deal today in order to stave off any late interest from West Brom.
Poyet initially tried to sign Buckley in January, but Brighton were in the midst of a promotion push at the time and did not want to lose one of their key men.
The Seagulls did secure a place in the Championship play-offs only to lose out to Derby County over a two-legged semi-final, and it is understood club chiefs have finally accepted one of their prized assets is destined for a move to the top flight.
Buckley missed Brighton's Capital One Cup first round win over Cheltenham on Tuesday night and afterwards boss Sami Hyypia confirmed the winger was close to moving away from the Amex Stadium.
Poyet is already well aware of the talent Buckley possesses having worked with the 24-year-old during his reign on the south coast. The Black Cats boss has been in the market for more attacking options this summer, but Buckley's arrival will not signal the end of Poyet's pursuit of Borini.
Sunderland's hopes of landing the Italian appear to be getting thinner by the day, but Poyet is still keen to land the 23-year-old despite the on-going saga surrounding his future.
A £14m deal with Liverpool has been agreed for weeks, but despite the player's reluctance to commit to a move Poyet refuses to give up hope of having the forward back at the Stadium of Light.
"It is still ongoing. We are still trying," the Black Cats boss said.
"It is a situation that normally doesn't happen in football, when you agree a price with the club and there's a delay in negotiations with the player. Usually, it is the opposite way around and the clubs don't have an agreement.
"I still think we have a chance. I'm trying my best."
Whether Borini ends up back on Wearside remains to be seen, but Connor Wickham is expected to stay at the club despite interest from elsewhere.
West Ham United had a £4m bid for the 21-year-old rejected on Monday and it is understood the Hammers will now consider other targets after being told they would have to pay considerably more to land Wickham.
The former Ipswich front man is in Poyet's plans this season after he played a big part in keeping the club in the Premier League towards the end of last term.
Sunderland get the new season underway at West Brom on Saturday and Poyet has a couple of injury concerns ahead of the trip to the Hawthorns.
Emanuele Giaccherini is definitely out having suffered a muscle injury in the pre-season win over Real Betis last weekend, while Billy Jones, who arrived on a free after leaving the Baggies, is a doubt.
"Billy is very close, touch and go, so there's a big decision to make in terms of when he's going to be ready to play," Poyet revealed.
"Giaccherini is going to be a few weeks. It's nothing really serious. If we talk about serious injuries in football, you're talking a few months? Not at all. It's just tightness, a stretch."

train vs bus, London to Portsmouth?
Hi, I'm traveling from London to Portsmouth to catch the ferry. Can anyone offer comments on train vs. bus travel, especially on this route? Time is not a huge concern, but I'm on a budget; bus seems to be about 2-3 times cheaper and drops off at the ferry port. Thanks,

The Day I Became A Sniper: Sydney's Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 Event
The Day I Became A Sniper: Sydney's Sniper: Ghost Warior 2 Event
Get your bolt action rifle ready
by Arthur Kotsopoulos
©2012 Arthur Kotsopoulos
Early last week QV Software held a special launch event for their upcoming title, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2, down in Surry Hills for the gaming media and community.
The night was filled with plenty of food in the shape of mini pies, mini burgers and mini vegetarian tacos.
All through out the night stations were set up where people could sit down and get down and gritty with the art of being a sniper, and whilst such a gaming style doesn't suit me I can definitely see which crowd this will please.
Interests aside, I donned my [virtual] ghillie suit and dove in.
Ghillies in the mist
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 factors in realistic physics in the form of bullet drop, wind, and distance, which makes for some very difficult moments when trying to line up that perfect shot.
From the level that we had access to, it seemed that certain sections where players had to face up to half a doze enemies at once have been crafted to cater to the fact that the player is a trained sniper.
It's definitely been developed to cater to a sniper's need of staying afar, but if you do get the odd enemy that wants to come up close and personal, then you can always rely on your trusty pistol to do the trick.
When you've lined up a perfect shot whilst holding down the left trigger to hold your breath, the game will follow the bullet Wanted or Sniper Elite V2-style directly to the point of impact on the enemy. It's always a sight to behold when the enemy goes flying backwards from the point of impact.
While it is a nice feature, it could get old especially if the game has a lengthy campaign. You can only smile in appreciation so many times before you just want to eliminate your foes and move on to the next area.
To break up the night which was filled with gaming and drinking, QV Software put on a nifty interactive game where a man in a ghillie suit would walk around and place a red dot on unsuspecting targets who were willing to have a large target stick on their back.
If you were given a red sticker it meant you were fatally wounded and out of the running to win a special prize pack. The target with a yellow sticker meant they were only hit with a flesh wound and at the end of the night declared the winner.
It was a good change up from the usual door prize raffle or ticket draw many other launch events have and one that was a very big game of chance… much like the life of a sniper. And no, I didn't survive.
We'd like to thank QV Software for inviting OXCGN down for the night, getting to live out my sniper fantasies (as both victim and sniper)!). Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 is out now here in Australia, so make sure you've got your best ghillie suit ready.
Our review will be out soon.

The Profile seemed to feel like cheating. Thundering overheads, a wall at net. More dominating serve. It didn't fix my crappy fh, but it really suited the serve and volley style that I'd developed to compensate fro my lack of a fh. True story: I had only been playing competitively for about 18 months, and had never beaten a seeded player in a junior champs tourney, just trying to catch up to the kids who'd been playing 10 years longer than me. My first match with the Profile demo from the pro shop, and I took out the #2 seed in the biggest PNW junior tourney of the year (a 15-year-old who would be the top-ranked kid in 18's in the section 2 years later). I simply overpowered him with huge serves that kicked high to the backhand, and followed in behind with pounding volleys.
I used the Profile for 10 years - even won prize money in singles once due to my giant serve. Eventually moved next to Prostaff 4.7 (similar huge head, but longer and a little flexier). I noticed that the 4.7 demo let me 'shape' my shots better than the Profile. Played another 10 years with the 4.7 (and reached a very high level 9 years ago, winning prize money in both men's doubles and mixed doubles, even though my forehand still sucked).
I've gone through a lot of frames since then, but strangely, I'm now back the 4.7, except that I play it almost 3 ounces heavier than I did 10 years ago. Now my forehand is finally much better than before due to the lead in the right places, and my volleys are better than before, also due to the added lead. Unfortunatey, I don't have enough to time to practice my serve like I used to. So my rusty serve keeps me stuck as a double-faulting 4.5 with 5.0 rest of game who can dominate 8.0 mixed.
Honestly, that's an amazing story. Truly. But.... I have to admit that I had the impression from your posts and your technical knowledge that you were a much better player. I can honestly say that I'm a solid 4.5 player with just about ANY frame out there, easily able to dominate the 8.0 and 9.0 men's game. I don't feel that that's a particular accomplishment, really, since I can't win open level tournaments. But 4.5 men's, 9.0 mixed? No problem. I don't feel the need to expound upon my technical expertise or 19-ounce frames.
Solid technical volleys with classic frames will get you far in tennis. Easily 4.5 or higher. It really doesn't matter what frame you use. At this level, I've used a K90, a Donnay X-Dark Red, a Yonex Tour 89 and even an old Yonex R-22. It honestly doesn't matter.
If you're a good player, you can play with just about any frame as long as you're not on tour. I'm kicking butt at the 4.5 level singles/doubles with the Yonex Tour 89, but I honestly don't consider that a major victory. My advice is to play with what you're comfortable with, it doesn't matter what frame.

We continue our run-down of the best role-playing games for iPhone and iPad.
9. Puzzle Quest II
Like 10000000 this melds roleplaying with block-matching puzzle game, but somehow it feels like something entirely different. This is much more about the long-game and elaborate strategies as you embark upon a fantasy quest, while 10000000 is an instant fix of high-speed puzzle-action. Meaty and great-looking, it might be getting on a bit now but it's definitely an app store essential.
8. Cardinal Quest
There are far too many rubbishy games on the app store with 'quest' in the title, but don't let this lo-fi gem get lost in the noise. It's another Roguelike, and a defiantly retro-looking one at that, but it rips out anything that could be deemed wasting in favour of focusing utterly on the strategy necessary to survive multiple dungeon tiers packed with monsters who can wipe you out with frightening ease. Combat just requires moving into an enemy, any loot that's inferior to whatever you've already got is automatically sold, and its three playable classes offer wildly different playing experiences. Unfair, unforgiving and essential with it.
7. Chaos Rings II
From the Final Fantasy stable, this doesn't stray too far from the tropes of Japanese roleplaying games - endless cutscenes, childlike dialogue, sprawling plots, over the top sights and highly-tactical combat. It's not for everyone and its £13 price is scandalous, but if you're after a more full-fat, high-tech RPG than is generally available on the app store this is where to look.
6. Swordigo
It's no looker, and would probably have been better-served by a faux-retro look than its strangely cheap-looking 3D, but Swordigo is a slick and cheerful roleplaying game that concentrates more on adventure than statistics. It's vaguely in the vein of the Legend of Zelda games, but a little more fast and furious, with some elegant touch-screen combat and rewarding exploration.5.
5. Legends of Yore
Another one of those games whose cheery retro appearance belies a faintly sadistic interior, Legends of Yore has all you need it to - quests, loot, stats, classes and oh-so-many monsters. It's all set within one huge overworld with dungeons below it, so you're able to explore and play it at your own pace. You will of course be near-instantly killed if you roam too far without being fat with loot and levels, but surviving what's clearly beyond your abilities is part of the point. Great stuff, and far more substantial than its art style suggests.
4. Bard's Tale
You'll either love it or you'll hate it. This is a tongue-in-cheek pastiche of old-school roleplaying games and fantasy worlds, which is certainly something that's ripe for a spot of mockery, but the over-the-top humour got a lot of folks' backs up - especially as it's a remake of a rather more revered ancient game. Fortunately, a recent update meant that original game is now also included with this one, so you've got your choice of smiley face or po-face anyway.
3. Doom 2 RPG
Yep, you read it right - the classic shooter reimagined as a turn-based roleplaying game. It sounds absurd, but actually Doom's use of health packs, ammo and the hunt for bigger weapons to take down harder foes suits roleplaying down to the ground. Each shot you take becomes a matter of luck and dice-rolls rather than how quickly you can aim, and somehow that manages the same tension and adrenaline that its shooter predecessor offer. Yeah, it's a little gimmicky and the control system feels crude and lazy, but it gets away with it.
2. Avernum: Escape From The Pit HD
Probably the RPG with the most substance in this list, with the possible exception of Chaos Rings, this is a love letter to isometric, free-roaming 90s computer roleplaying games such as the revered Ultima series. If you've convinced yourself that iPhone RPGs are throwaway affairs that only last a few hours and involve only button-bashing, you really should play Avernum. 30-odd hours of play, dozens of towns to explore, even more quests, a branching storyline and complex roleplaying mechanics - this is one to settle down with for a couple of deeply-absorbed weeks, not to pass a bus journey.
1. Bastion
Brand new (at the time of writing) to the app store, this indie action-roleplaying game does a fantastic job of something most of the other games in this list barely bother with - story. As you explore a crumbling city in the sky, bashing monsters, upgrading your selection of melee and range weapons and trying not to fall off the edge into the endless void beyond, a gravel-voice narrator comments on what you're doing, why you're there and even what you've done wrong. As he's reactive to your actions, not to mention extremely quotable, Bastion ends up being a brilliantly atmospheric game, in a way you wouldn't expect from its zoomed-out, cutesy appearance. The controls take a bit of getting used to, and sadly it's iPad-only for now, but even so this is one of the strongest iOS games to date. See also: Bastion review

T-Wolves' prayers answered as 13-game losing streak snapped
Kevin McHale turned to prayer, though it wasn't really needed. The combination of Al Jefferson inside and some sizzling three-point shooting was more than enough.
The Timberwolves snapped a 13-game losing streak and won for the first time this season under McHale, getting a season-best 23 points from Rashad McCants in a 120-107 victory over the New York Knicks last night.
"The guys have been playing hard and we really needed this one," McHale said. "At the end of the game I said, 'Thank God,' and I meant it.
Jefferson added 21 points and 15 rebounds in the Timberwolves' first victory since beating Oklahoma City on Nov. 28. They had dropped their first eight games under McHale, who took over when Randy Wittman was fired Dec. 8.
"Anything worth having in life takes some faith," McHale said. "And when that faith happens, it's a beautiful thing. And they've got to have faith that when they go out and play hard, good things are going to happen for them."
Sebastian Telfair finished with a season-high 20 points in his hometown and Randy Foye had 19 for the Wolves, who overran New York by using the Knicks'primary weapon, the three-pointer. They came in 28th in the league in three-point percentage and were making 4.6 per game – six fewer than New York's league-best average – but made a season-best 13 in 24 attempts (54 percent).
Nate Robinson and Al Harrington each scored 26 points for the Knicks, who lost their fifth straight. Wilson Chandler scored 19, but New York allowed its highest point total ever against Minnesota.
HEAT 90, BULLS 77: Dwyane Wade scored 28 points, Daequan Cook hit three big three-pointers in the fourth quarter as host Miami pulled away, and the Heat eclipsed last season's win total by beating Chicago. Miami (16-12) won its fourth straight. Chicago forward Luol Deng left the game after spraining his left ankle while attempting to grab a rebound.
BOBCATS 95, NETS 87: Raymond Felton scored 22 points, Emeka Okafor added 21 and new-look Charlotte won for the fourth time in five games with a victory over host New Jersey. Boris Diaw and Felton hit clutch late baskets as the Bobcats held on after seeing a 15-point third-quarter lead dwindle to two points in the waning minutes.
HORNETS 88, ROCKETS 79: Chris Paul had 26 points and 10 assists, and host New Orleans snapped a two-game skid with a victory over the Rockets. David West added 23 points for New Orleans, which led throughout. Tyson Chandler had 14 points and 12 rebounds, and Rasual Butler scored 13 for the Hornets. Ron Artest missed the game for the Rockets with a sprained right ankle. New Orleans was without swingman Peja Stojakovic (back) and reserve center Hilton Armstrong (thumb).
PISTONS 90, THUNDER 88: Allen Iverson's off-balance runner with 0.2 seconds left gave host Detroit a victory over Oklahoma City. Detroit has won eight straight against the Thunder.
GRIZZLIES 108, PACERS 105: O.J. Mayo scored 18 points, including two key free throws with a second left, and host Memphis overcame an early 17-point deficit to beat Indiana. Memphis took the lead with seven unanswered points late in the game and held on to snap a four-game skid. The Pacers lost for the third time in their past four.

Crap PR from Rodgers though.
On one hand, you could argue we were highly unlikely to get any offers unless he actually flouted him around, as he has. However, it's bound to have a negative effect for various reasons. If Rodgers really does want to get rid, then it's probably a good idea.

Yeah, I'm just being a grouch.
Also seems that Arsenal are going to refuse to transfer Van Persie, which is itstl. Not sure how wise that is, as even if he was fully geared and ready to go I doubt he'd have as good a season as he did last time round. But seeing as he wants out...could end up badly. Or could end up like Tevez last season I suppose.

"Driving in search of burgers"
Reviewed by Anna Grace / Sep 02, 2011
Drive down the road and grab all the burgers without hitting the sides
In this new Mr.Papi adventure you need to drive his car in order to catch burgers (valued in 100 points) that appear on the way and trying to avoid hitting the sides and falling behind because that will make you lose and start over again. You need to control the car by tilting the device left and right in order to make it go fast without touching the sides.
As any Papi game, the game is based in its simplicity and easy interface and playability. Of course, the design is not good but it's still fun and entertaining, although really challenging too, because the road becomes thinner as the game progresses.
Sunflat is the well-known creator of all Papi games and has had a great success with all of them. This is not the best of them but fans of the others will also enjoy it.
Tilt the device left and right to move the car.
When the car gets a hamburger, you get bonus 100 points.
If the car hits the side of the road, the car is pushed back. The game ends if the car goes out of the bottom.

App Giveaway: Shows for iPhone
I love seeing Metallica in concert. One of my favorite bands of all time
m/ SLAYER!!! m/
Elvis Costello- always something a little different and always taking a risk!
LOL! If it was just one I needed to follow I can just stalk them! Show would be great for following multiple bands - though I wonder how it'll do for Indie bands who play small venues.
Storm Large I'd see anywhere!
Love to u have one!!!
Brad Paisley
Beastie Boys. I've seen them about a dozen times over the years and they keep getting better and more fun on stage! #nosleeptilbrooklyn
Too many! Keith urban, brad paisley, Tim McGraw just to name a few.
The Avett Brothers has consistently put on some of the best live shows in the past few years. Wilco and The Hold Steady are up there as well.
Tenth avenue north !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blind Guardian, no question. Unfortunately they only tour in North America about every four years, but it is like seeing no other band- the entire audience is singing along the whole time, almost like some kids' singalong thing, except it's heavy metal. It's because of the passion the band puts into their music- that passion translates to the fans.
30 Seconds to Mars, man they're just fun! Major opposite of them, but still amazing live is Maroon 5.
i cant miss another blink-182 concert.
Can't miss a Maroon 5 concert
Tom Waits!
Would love to see what pops up in Miami!
Dave Matthews Band!
cool app...thanks :-)

Textile sector to make investment of Rs 1,94,000 cr by 2012
Our Bureau
New Delhi, Dec. 18
The Union Government is committed to create an enabling and conducive milieu for the Indian textile to modernise and expand capacities, as it constitutes the "backbone of our manufacturing sector", the Union Textile Minister, Mr Shankersinh Vagehla, said.
Releasing the revised Vision Statement for textile and clothing industry for the Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI) here, the Minister expressed happiness about the industry's more ambitious Vision compared to the one it made in 2004 to make investment of Rs 1,94,000 crore by 2012. However, Mr Vaghela said the industry Vision to caputre a market size of $110 billion was slightly lower than the Government's objective of $115 billion by the terminal year of the Eleventh Plan.
He urged the industry to focus more on manufacturing value-added items since the higher growth in value would flow from manufacture of more valued products and a rise in use of diversified textile products such as technical textiles. He said after being subdued for long investments in the sector had picked in the last two years after several policy initiatives by the UPA Government.
Extension of TUFS
Referring to the plea of the industry that the Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) should be extended beyond 2007 as it had helped to enlarge production capacity across the broad spectrum of industry, the Minister urged the industry to intensify pressure on this score so that he would also plead with the right quarters to get this scheme extended.
He also said the implementation of 25 textile apparel parks scheme has been proceeding satisfactorily as the Government was providing a grant of Rs 866 crore. He said that it is proposed to expand the scope of the scheme in the 11th Plan.
Growth factorsIn his remarks, the CITI Chairman, Mr Shekhar Agarwal said, "Proactive policy framework, calibrated fiscal interventions like rationalisation of excise duties and importantly TUFS were the key drivers of growth," both in production and in investment. Stating that the reports about TUFS likely discontinuance had come as a dampener, Mr Agarwal cautioned that any cessation of the scheme at this stage would negate the confident march of the industry to building competitiveness and globalising their operations.He said the interest reimbursement under TUFS has cut down the cost of production and the industry has gradually raised its market share on account of the marginal price competitiveness. "Continuation of TUFS is an important factor for leveraging technology advantage specially when the forward looking textile units are keen to install new generation modern technologies and manufacturing processes for man-made fibre based textiles," the Indian Spinners' Association President, Mr V.K. Ladi, said.
InvestmentThe Vision Document of CITI prepared by Crisil said the textile industry needs an investment of Rs 1,94,000 crore during the span 2007-12. The industry could create an additional employment of 14 million workers across the textile chain, while the industry has the potential to reach a size of $110 billion by 2012. The Vision document pleads for removing infrastructure constraints and whittle down transaction cost, besides ensuring adequate raw material availability and an end to antiquated laws such as hank yarn obligation, packaging obligation and textile committee cess. It also pitched for labour policy reform and more facilities for manpower training to reach the ambitious production level.

MagSafe® Self-Defense Ammo.
In controlled tests with .357 law enforcement loads, the 10mm used by the FBI, and other hollow points, MagSafe® beat 'em all! Fragments to penetrate... so it's safer, without ricochets. Handcrafted to precise specs, making it accurate and reliable.
MagSafe Ammo is faster, recoils less, and stops attackers faster than any other ammunition in the world. Elite forces are outfitted with MagSafe, from Navy SEALS to the Royal Hong Kong Police anti-gang units, from big-city undercover narcs to guards at some of America's meanest prisons. The reason is simple. MagSafe works.
SWAT Loads for handguns have reduced wall penetration. Our .38 Spec., .357 Magnum, 9mm & .44 caliber SWAT Loads have pellet cored and break up in sheetrock walls. The .40 S&W and .45 ACP SWAT Loads have epoxy-only cores, and may not break up in walls. However, their light weight (and low recoil) offer less wall penetration than standard ammo.
