In The Wind Rises, Jiro dreams of flying and designing beautiful airplanes, inspired by the famous Italian aeronautical designer Caproni. Nearsighted from a young age and unable to be a pilot, Jiro joins a major Japanese engineering company in 1927 and becomes one of the world's most innovative and accomplished airplane designers. The film chronicles much of his life, depicting key historical events, including the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, the Great Depression, the tuberculosis epidemic and Japan's plunge into war. Jiro meets and falls in love with Nahoko, and grows and cherishes his friendship with his colleague Honjo. Writer and director Hayao Miyazaki pays tribute to engineer Jiro Horikoshi and author Tatsuo Hori in this epic tale of love, perseverance, and the challenges of living and making choices in a turbulent world. official plot version from touchstonepictures.com

VIDEO: Highlights - Marco Nereo Rotelli's DIVINA NATURA at the Field Museum
On June 24th, Marco Nereo Rotelli illuminated the Field Museum with light projections of imagery and poetry inspired by Dante's Inferno. Click below for a taste of Rotelli's DIVINA NATURA!
The installation at the Field Museum was a journey into "nature" such as it is presented in the verses of Dante Alighieri's INFERNO in order to establish a link with the history of the Museum. The work is dedicated to the metaphorical strength of the animals in Dante's Inferno. An illuminating journey of numerology and astrology, animal allegories, symmetry and parallelism, are visible in the drawings and paintings that were the storyboards to transform the Museum into a spectacular page of poetry.

The Precipice Trail is a difficult and very steep out and back (or loop) 1.8 mile RT trail using iron rungs and ladders on exposed cliffs providing spectacular views of Acadia National Park.
Allison Palmer (47)
23 hours ago
Please note: Precipice Trail is open from October through December due to habitat restoration, specifically for the Peregrine Falcons (only 3 nests exists on the island, one of which is along the Precipice Trail). Our group was unaware of this trail closure (a park policy since 1991, apparently). However, we were encouraged that Park priorities are to preserve animal habitats rather than guest recreation in this case.

The Great Cave Trail may of been one of the closest kept secrets of Champlain Mountain in Acadia National Park, yet thousands pass it without ever knowing its there, just off of the Precipice trail. . Very old maps had the words THE GREAT CAVE printed on them, but the words were not placed where the cave is. and years of searching both in libraries and on line, not a single photo could be found of the cave. In fact, only a few accounts exist that even talk about the Great Cave. I was beginning to wonder if perhaps the stories of such a Great Cave were just a myth.
Than everything changed after I began posting about the Great Cave on my website, LOST AND ABANDONED TRAILS OF ACADIA NATIONAL PARK. A visitor to the site read about it and set out to find the cave - and he succeeded. Not only did he find it, for the first time that I know about, he uploaded photos showing at least what the entrance of the Great Cave looks like, and it is as large as the stories told, with an opening rising close to 100 feet, and the cave goes about 100 feet into the mountain side. The Great Cave of the Precipice does in fact exist.
So how does one go about finding a great cave that has remained hidden for many years? First you have to get to the Precipice parking lot in Acadia National Park. Do this by getting onto the ONE WAY section of the Park Loop road. Drive until you see large signs for the Precipice parking lot.
Now begin your hike up the Precipice trail, don't worry, your not hiking the entire Precipice trail - your only hiking the lower part.
You don't go very far before you come to a huge boulder with two or three iron hand rails in it to help you up over it. The story of this one boulder is interesting - some say the trail was made to go over this boulder to weed out the less experienced hikers, because that group usually turns around and heads back to the parking lot after encountering the boulder. The park service even has a special name for that boulder, they call it THE TURN AROUND.
Once your over that boulder, your almost at the abandoned trail. Continue until you come to a talus or boulder field. At that point the official trail goes right, and the abandoned Great Cave trail goes left. Follow the talus field to the left, at an angle as it heads toward a break in the woods above. The further you go, the rocks get smaller. Once you reach the break in the woods, there is a wrn path that leads upwards, and is steep. Use the tree's to help you up this short section, the entrance to the Great Cave is just up ahead. You will want to have a camera and a good flashlight with you if you want to explore the inside of the Great Cave.
when you begin your trek back down, go slow and use the tree's for support as you make your way down to the boulder field. I suggest you wear something with a good grip, like a good pair of hiking boots for this hike. and as your hiking this route, don't be surprised if hikers on the cliffs above yell down telling you your going the wrong way - as very few people even know where the Great Cave is located.
What makes the Great Cave trail off the Precipice trail a true ghost trail or phantom trail is that one must search it out in order to locate it.

Hiking (climbing) on an overcast day in mid-August, the Precipice Trail was moderately busy as one of the first open days of the season. What was surprising after all the hype (forget it if you get vertigo), the strategically placed iron rungs, ladders and handholds make it less dangerous than Katahdin's Knife Edge between Pamola and Chimney peaks. We climbed up and then traveled the North Champlain trail to the Orange and Black trail on the way down, making it a great loop trail. As you are climbing, leave any hiking poles behind - they'll just get in the way. Some really cool climbing opportunities, some really exposed cliffs and a great sense of accomplishment when you reach the top. Take your time and enjoy stopping for pictures. One of the best views is the parking lot below... it gets smaller and smaller. Great workout and huge rewards for your effort... highly recommend it!

Beautiful exposed views the entire climb. Very rewarding summit with ridgeline hiking at the peak. Definitely worth an early morning trip before crowds. Descend on Orange and Black Trail for parking lot.
Jess s (684)

This is by far the best trail on east coast if you like a strenuous climb, and not afraid of high. Most part of "hiking' is really a non-technical climbing with some help of handrails and ladders bolted in to the rocks. At beginning part of the trail, it is a rock scrambling with a steep vertical climb. Challenging, but very rewarding. This is a must climb trail everytime I visit the region. If you like the trail, it is closed in summer months for Falcon nesting, and opens in mid August. At peak, take north ridge trail and connect to black and orange trail, it will take you back to the lower part of precipice. The black and organ trail is also very interesting hike. Lots stairs to help you up/down the path. The whole loop is a good workout. But it is worth the effort!
Jamie Atkins (745)

Very strenuous hike. Almost more of a climb. The first obstacle is a good test of whether the trail is for you or not. You can skirt around it, but they don't get much easier. We went on a wet, cold, October afternoon. We made it about 3/4 to the top, but the fading daylight and wet, slippery rocks became too much for us. There are many places with a cable, handrail, or chain. There are also many sloping rock faces with dangerous exposed rock faces that, when wet, become a little concerning. We saw a few hikers with knee pads, not a bad idea! Great views, great adventure, great trail.
Serenity Coyne (520)

By far the best "hike" on Mt Desert Island. Not for the faint of heart. Extremely strenuous hike to the vertical ladders bolted into the rock. This trail goes straight up the rock cliff. It is closed for Peregrine Falcons in summer.
I've done this trail both in winter and fall. I did descend via the North Ridge to the black and orange trail to the lower Precipice trail. The views of the ocean are just breath taking.
A must do when in the region!!!
Jose Bubel (382)

A+ all the way. I went after a heavy rain and slippery it was. between the water and leaves made it more exciting. Highly recommended. Hiked back on North ridge Trail to the Orange and Black Path which cuts back over to the Precipice Trail. Very rewarding.

The Kosher Food and Wine Experience Expands
This past Monday night the whole Joy of Kosher team enjoyed a night out at the eight annual Kosher Food and Wine Experience in New York City. As always we ate a lot, drank a lot and talked a lot. It was amazing to see so many of our online friends in person. This is the premier event for the kosher food and wine enthusiast and has grown so much that it is now happening in LA, London, Israel and Miami. This year they also added a yacht to showcase desserts and offer a little more space. I will admit it was a bit rocky, but it was nice to have a place to sit down and chat.
The World of Culinary Sustainability
Contributed by: thekosherologist
The concept of 'sustainability' is a growing trend both in the world of agriculture and the world of food. Many of today's farmers are doing away with the traditional methods of farming, which includes use of chemicals, machinery, and mass production of unhealthy and heavily genetically-modified foods, and are returning to producing natural and healthy nutrient rich produce. Since the 1930's and 1940's, we have lost thirty percent of the nutrients in our whole foods, and the 'sustainability movement' is trying to move back toward the 'real' food that existed prior to World War II. Many food manufacturers, as well as restaurants, supermarkets, and other food related establishments, have openly welcomed the concept of 'sustainability' and incorporated this philosophy as well.
It is not a rare occurrence these days that I run across a product in grocery store that boasts "sustainably raised" or "sustainably farmed". One of the reasons that I think I am so fond of many of the markets past the Mason-Dixon line, especially around Upstate New York and New England, is their effort to be part of the 'sustainable' mindset. Many of these markets, from small individual owned grocery stores to large chain supermarkets, are now seen boasting their fine selections of only locally grown fruit, no-growth hormone chickens, cage-free eggs, and all grass-fed beef. 'Sustainability' in regards to the culinary world essentially means going away from all the engineered foods we have available today and back to the natural. It means growing natural, unadulterated produce and selling it in the local stores. 'Sustainability' means treating food animals humanely, not injecting them with growth-hormones, and feeding them properly (because ultimately what they eat ends up in our stomachs). Sustainability means being good to the earth, for it in turn will be good to us.

It's quite incredible that you all came out on the first cold and rainy night we've had in months, thank you, truly. And thank you for making memories with me just outside the walls of the Old City. Scroll down for a recap of the food, film, friends and fun.
The evening was magical, the food was stunning and the people, oh the people, were so warm, and happy and friendly and fabulous! Part of the Jerusalem Jewish Film Festival, the SOLD OUT Israel JOY of KOSHER Book Party was an emotional and festive evening, one I will never forget!

We had so much fun this year with the once in a lifetime convergence of Hanukkah and Thanksgiving. On the site, in the magazine and even in person. Although Hanukah goes way beyond the externals of the "traditional" foods, Thanksgiving is very much tied to the official "Thanksgiving dinner," and as such, people were looking for interesting ways to have their turkey with their latkes.
That's where Shfira Klein comes in. Many communities called upon Shifra, the editor-in-chief of the Joy of Kosher magazine to demonstrate various Thanksgivukkah menu options. She had a lot of fun, check it out.
Meir Panim's Free Restaurants Spread The Joy
Contributed by: Daniela Berkowitz
One cool Jerusalem morning last month, I met Aryeh, the head of operations at the Meir Panim Free Restaurant near the city's Central Bus Station. As part of Meir Panim's efforts to ease the burden of poverty for many of Israel's impoverished residents, this particular Free Restaurant – one of seven across Israel – serves approximately 250 meals daily.
Before Aryeh begins directing me and the rest of the volunteers, he gives me a tour. There's a large industrial kitchen, plus a storage area for food. He shows me the collection of clothing that people have dropped off for him to distribute.

Life Tech.'s sequencer identifies European E. coli
Standard gene-sequencing devices use a chemical process to attach fluorescent tags to individual pieces of DNA, which are then illuminated by lasers and photographed with a high-tech camera. Computers interpret the light signals and convert them into usable genetic data. The process is time-consuming and costly, and the devices are large and must be operated by specially trained technicians.
The Ion machine is a much simpler device that uses a semiconductor to measure changes in acidity that occur when the alphabetical building blocks of DNA — molecules known as A, C, G and T — are copied. The machine can identify DNA segments in a few hours rather than the days or weeks required by the other technology.
Jay Therrien, who heads commercial sequencing operations for Life Technologies, wouldn't disclose how many Ion machines have been purchased since their December launch. "They have been sold all over the world," he said.
The attention showered on the device Thursday likely didn't generate any cheers at Life Technologies' cross-county genetic sequencing rival Illumina in San Diego.
BGI, the Chinese sequencing center, owns 128 of Illumina's larger, second-generation HiSeq 2000 sequencing machines in addition to the Ion machine on which the E. coli sequencing work was done.
Illumina plans to start shipping its own lower-priced, bench-top sequencer - called the MiSeq - late this summer to directly compete with the Ion machine.

Gary D'Amato offers news and insights on Wisconsin golf, new technology, courses and instruction
New book on de la Torre a gem
I'll never forget the first time I interviewed Manuel de la Torre. It was the early 1990s and we were in his office overlooking the par-4 first hole at Milwaukee Country Club. He said, "Look out the window and tell me what you see."
Wanting to impress the golf instructor I had heard so much about, I described in vivid detail the bunkers and trees a golfer would have to negotiate to reach the green, which also was fortified by bunkers. I even threw in the slight dogleg and how it would influence the tee shot, just to show how great were my powers of observation.
When I was finished, Manuel looked at me and said, "Gary, you never mentioned that you saw the fairway. That's what you're supposed to see."
It was like being slapped in the forehead.
What makes de la Torre such a great teacher is his ability to cut through all the nonsense and clutter and get right to the point. His theory about the swing is based on irrefutable physics and he makes his points which such clarity and economy of words that it's no wonder other golf teachers flock to his seminars. He is a world-class communicator and a Hall of Fame teacher.
John Hayes recognized that way back in 1983, when he first attended one of de la Torre's clinics. Hayes, the head golf professional at Forest Hills Country Club in St. Louis, went on to attend dozens of clinics and seminars taught by de la Torre over the years. He took copious notes and has turned them into a superb little instruction book titled "Learning Golf with Manuel."
The cleverly constructed and self-published book consists of 106 lessons, all based on direct quotes from de la Torre. It's a fun and instructive read. If you're interested in what makes the golf swing work and why it works, de la Torre's insights are pearls of wisdom. Hayes, whose respect for de la Torre shines through, has dutifully recorded some of those pearls for posterity.

CareChex® Names Ochsner Top 10% In Nation In 17 Specialties, Including Overall Hospital Care
Ochsner has been recognized as #1 in the nation for both medical excellence and patient safety in liver transplant by CareChex® – a division of Comparion®. CareChex® also named Ochsner1 among the top 10% in the nation in 17 different specialties, including overall hospital care, overall medical care, cancer care, cardiac care, women's health and more.
CareChex® is an innovative medical quality rating system designed to assist hospitals and health systems in improving the quality of inpatient care and promoting medical excellence2 to consumers, payers, and employers.
We believe that CareChex, a division of Comparion Medical Analytics, provides the most statistically accurate rating of hospital quality available in the industry. Other quality rating services only evaluate one aspect of patient care, such as mortality rates. CareChex's multi-dimensional methodology looks at all three components of medical quality – process of care, outcomes of care and patient satisfaction.
Utilizing extensive clinical data from the Hospital Quality Alliance and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, CareChex® provides a comprehensive evaluation of all components of medical quality including:
- Process of care - measures specific processes that should be followed during heart attack and heart failure, pneumonia, outpatient procedures, surgical care and preventive care, among others.
- Outcomes of care – measures mortality and complication rates, inpatient quality indicators and patient safety indicators
- Patient satisfaction – measures overall hospital ratings, doctor and nurse communication, hospital environment, and staff responsiveness, among others.
CareChex® provides these findings to consumers, providers and purchasers of U.S. medical care, including many Fortune 500 companies.
"Ochsner Medical Center has demonstrated its ability to provide high quality care to the community it serves," said Dr. Thane Forthman, President and CEO of CareChex®, a division of Comparion® Medical Analytics. "To receive the award as #1 in the Nation in Liver Transplant for both medical excellence and patient safety is an outstanding accomplishment for both the physicians and hospital staff. We congratulate them on their commitment to delivering high quality, patient centered care."
"The CareChex® rankings demonstrate Ochsner's commitment to the highest quality patient care," said Dr. Joseph Bisordi, Chief Medical Officer, Ochsner Health System. "What matters most to us are positive outcomes for our patients. We want our patients to get the best possible care so they can go home sooner and get back to their lives and families."
"Ochsner is committed to attaining high standards of quality care. Independent quality evaluations conducted by CareChex demonstrate we are achieving our goal," said Warner Thomas, President and CEO, Ochsner Health System at Ochsner Medical Center. "Providing excellent care is only possible with our outstanding physicians, employees, and volunteers. We are extremely grateful for their ability to care for patients in such an exceptional manner."
"As our transplant program continues to grow both regionally and nationally, we remain committed to providing the best service and care for our patients," said Dr. Nigel Girgrah, PhD, Head of Hepatology, Medical Director of the Multi-Organ Transplant Institute. "We work with so many patients and families over long periods of time, so we know what a difference a successful transplant can make in someone's life. That's why we work so hard to be the best."
CareChex® is a division of Comparion® Medical Analytics – one of the nation's largest privately-held healthcare information service companies. CareChex® provides clinical, financial and patient satisfaction findings to consumers, providers and purchasers of U.S. medical care. Unlike other publicly available hospital quality ratings, CareChex® provides a composite evaluation of all components of medical quality including process of care, outcomes of care and patient experiences.
1Ochsner's quality metrics include data from both Ochsner Medical Center and Ochsner Medical Center - West Bank Campus.
2The category does not include data from Pancreas Transplants and Other Heart Assist System Transplants.

Young Sport: Elmbridge secure School Games gymnastics title
Posted: April 07, 2014|
ELMBRIDGE Junior School tumbled their way to a record-breaking victory in the first Gloucestershire School Games primary gymnastics competition at GL1 in Gloucester.
Despite being a new addition to the Sainsbury's School Games in 2014, the primary schools' gymnastic competition attracted a superb turnout with 66 talented tumblers from school Years 3 and 4 taking part.
And the Longlevens-based school were in superb form, defeating 10 rival schools to win the team event before dominating the individual events with gold medals in both the floor and vault exercises.
In the team event, the Elmbridge team of Joseph Tancell, Ella-Marie Bhowal, Erin Goldie, Nick Kawcynski, Joseph Heaven and Zebedee Gibson combined to produce an impressive team total of 90.7 points to take gold ahead of Dinglewell Primary from Hucclecote who were second 4.9 points behind on 85.8.
St John's on the Hill School from Tutshill near Chepstow claimed the bronze with a team total of 85.2 points.
In addition to the team events, competitors were also judged on their individual disciplines on both the floor and vault.
Elmbridge Primary pupil Erin Goldie pipped two of her classmates to the gold medal in the vault with a score of 9.6.
Zebedee Gibson was second, 0.2 of a point behind Goldie, with Nick Kawcynski third with 9.3.
The floor exercise was a close affair with the three medals being split between eight different competitors.
Ella Marie Bhowal and Elmbridge classmate Goldie shared the gold after both scored 9.0.
There was a three-way tie for silver between Amelia Berry from St Mary's Primary from Tetbury, Eleanor Shellam from Dinglewell and Connie Davies from St John's on the Hill, who all scored 8.8.
Three bronze medals were also awarded as Madeleine Carnes from Glenfall Community Primary in Cheltenham, Tabitha Lythdoe from Randwick Primary near Stroud and St John's on The Hill's Grace Curtis all carded 8.7.
Elmbridge headteacher Glen Tharia – a former South West gymnastics champion – was delighted to see his team star on the day and he was also thrilled by the talents of all the gymnasts on show
He said: "It was fantastic to see such high quality gymnastics from Years 3 and 4 children across the five districts of Gloucestershire.
"The children showed exemplary behaviour and a good competitive spirit."
"I enjoyed hosting the event and hope to be part of this next year."
The Sainsbury's School Games, now in their third year, are run by Active Gloucestershire and benefit from £45,000 of National Lottery funding.
The Games are aimed at building on the legacy of the London 2012 Olympic Games and are designed to give every school pupil across Gloucestershire a chance to compete regardless of ability.

I am a hand-knitter and crocheter for more than 40 years. Throughout the years I also enjoyed cross stitch, hand sewing, and furniture refinishing and painting. I appreciate creativity (making things) and simply cannot live without it.
I was born in the Netherlands in a large family. I have four very crafty sisters and one brother. As a young girl, I went to a small village school. At age six, all the girls were taught knitting, crochet and hand sewing (we were actually taught how to knit on four needles almost immediately). I loved it from day one! My knitting evolved, of course- from doll's clothing, bulky sweaters and cardigans to baby clothing, bags and lovely lace scarves. To me, knitting and crochet are therapeutic, calming and meditative all at the same time. My goal this year is to become a certified knitting and crochet teacher and to teach knitting. At the same time, I will post my new projects on my blog to share with others. I enjoy Pinterest very much but when I moved to the US in the early eighties, I brought a suitcase loaded with Dutch yarns and knitting patterns. I still have all my patterns.. It is my connection with Holland.

Originally written on Football Nation | Last updated 10/22/12
According to Jason Cole at Yahoo! Sports, wide receiver Dwayne Bowe wants out of Kansas City "very badly."That's old news now, and to be honest, wasn't much of a surprise either.I can't blame him though. The Chiefs aren't exactly a powerhouse at this point. At 1-5, the Chiefs are just about out of playoff contention, and when your team is having a quarterback controversy with Brady Quinn involved, it's a good bet to give up on the season.With a mildly successful start to 2012, (427 yards, 3 TDs) Bowe will most definitely be a hot commodity as soon as the 2013 off-season begins. Let's see what teams will be in the 2013 Dwayne Bowe Sweepstakes.

How female drivers have just days to renew car insurance to avoid paying same as boy racers
- Europe bans insurers from offering better deals to female drivers
- Women motorists could face £3,000 insurance hikes
- Kelly Wright, 23, faces her insurance doubling
Road to ruin: Kelly Wright might be forced to give up her car and her job as her insurance will go sky high after the European Court of Justice ruling that insurers cannot charge different premiums to men and women
Female drivers have just days left to renew their car insurance before being hit by a price hike that could add hundreds of pounds to their bills.
A European Court of Justice ruling on equality means women can no longer be offered discount rates because of their gender – even though they have fewer accidents than men.
The 'insurance time-bomb' will go off on December 21, when the EU ruling comes into effect.
On average, women's annual premium will rise by £362 if brought into line with male drivers, as expected, while younger drivers could face hikes of up to £3,000.
The EU ruling has been blasted as 'perverse' by critics, and was opposed by the insurance industry itself.
Experts fear that young women will be priced off the road if forced to pay the same high premiums as 'boy-racers'.
Shadow Transport Minister John Woodcock called the ruling 'crazy' and added: 'People are already finding it hard to make ends meet.
'With motoring costs rising, working, for some, will stop being financially worthwhile.
'The common-sense view would be to look at the statistics that show women have fewer crashes. I cannot understand why the EU has imposed such a mad, perverse ruling.'
So far only one major insurer has released details of its price increases. Allianz said its premiums would rise 13 per cent for women aged 26, and on average by four per cent for all female customers.
Other insurers are expected to reveal higher rises as Allianz does not insure the high-risk under-26s.
Advert: Sheila's Wheels, which currently insures well over half a million female policyholders, is one firm that will will implement gender-neutral pricing
Men under 22 have ten times as many serious crashes than women of the same age. They are also 25 times more likely to commit driving offences and twice as prone to making a claim.
A woman under 22 now pays about £1,800 for insurance, compared with £3,162 for men. Consumer Intelligence, which tracks prices, said young women who live in high crime areas and drive expensive cars could pay up to £3,000 more.
Kelly Wright, 23, from Salford, Greater Manchester faces a hike from £890 a year to about £1,600.
Unfair: Drivers say it is not right that some women drivers will now fall into the same bracket as 'boy racers' (file picture)
She said: 'I cannot afford this increase so would have to give up my car and therefore my job. It offends me that I will be in the same bracket as boy racers.'
Research found that 90 per cent of people were unaware of the price hikes. Consumer Intelligence urged women to renew their cover before December 21.
Chief executive Ian Hughes said: 'They might have to pay a penalty for exiting their policy early, but it will still probably be cheaper.'
The Association of British Insurers said: 'We are sure this is not the best route to go down. Insurance is all about price and risk.
'We will have to ignore decades of data.'

The mod you are trying to view has ceased development and consequently been archived. If you are a member of this mod, can demonstrate that it is being actively developed and will be able to keep this profile up to date with the latest news, images, videos and downloads, please contact us with all details and we will consider its re-activation.
"If it felt any more real, you'd bleed"
Obsidian Edge II: "Theatre of War" (working title) is the groundbreaking sequel to Obsidian Edge being created for Crytek's up coming first person shooter Crysis. With intense realism as well as new game features never before seen in a first person shooter - it will forever change the way you think a first person shooter should be played.
Get ready for edge-of-your-seat action - You will be required to lead assaults on enemy held positions, seek out and eliminate hostiles, perform coordinated missions, and fight for your own survival. In each case you will need to outfit your squad with the proper weapons and equipment, carefully plan your actions with your team, and then execute your plan in order to achieve the objective.
The world of Obsidian Edge is extremely unforgiving. Be ready to test your nerves, tactics and skill against opponents who are just as determined to eliminate you as you are to eliminate them. As your skills sharpen, so do theirs. As your strategy changes, so does theirs. As your teammates rush in, so do theirs. As you put them in your crosshairs, they do the same to you.
Are you ready for Obsidian Edge?
Obsidian Edge II is one of two chosen Crysis modifications which will work with a pre-SDK and receive support from Crytek during development. Crymod.com
The Obsidian Edge II (OE2) Mod will include many of the features first demonstrated in OE1, with additional features to intensify the gaming experience in quality, size and scope. OE2 is the next logical evolution of realistic tactical gaming, with features including:
Features Common to all Gameplay Modes
Multiplayer Gameplay
Cooperative Gameplay
Other Key Features

3rd Annual 'Water, Wings and Wheels' brings crowd to Laconia Airport
GILFORD — A good turnout was on hand Saturday as Laconia Airport hosted its third annual Wings, Water and Wheels Open House Saturday.
The event, held on Flag Day, had as its theme , "Honoring Our Heroes" and also marked the 70th anniversary of Civil Air Patrol's Wing Maneuvers, which have ben held at the airport since July of 1944.
One of the highlights of the day was the presentation of a program for the very first Wing Maneuvers event was presented by Col. Bill Moran, NH Civil Air Patrol Wing Commander and a member of the Laconia Airport Authority, to Dr. Henry Munroe, president emeritus of the New Hampshire College and University Council, who was a 17-year-old cadet when the first event was held in 1944.
Munroe said the Laconia Airport was a very different place with only one runway when the first maneuvers took place.
Munroe will receive the Congressional Gold Medal this fall for his CAP volunteer service during WWII.
"We are honored to have Henry join us for this memorable occasion and are proud to have a Congressional Gold Medal winner in the state of New Hampshire." said Moran.
Many static displays greeted open house visitors, including aircraft from the airport's fixed-based operators Sky Bright Aviation and Emerson Aviation, who raffled off a free scenic flight. Members from the NH Pilots Association pilots from around the state had their airplanes on display, including a unique ER Coupe 415C, owned by Alan Tripp and Jetta Morrison. The aircraft, built in 1946, weighed only 1300 pounds, two seats and had an 85 horsepower engine and could cruise at 90 miles per hour.
Airplanes weren't the only things attracting attention.
A replica of a 1939 Jaguar owned by Donna Boettcher of Weirs Beach was on display. Her husband, Peter, said that convertible used a 1985 Mustang frame and body and is powered by modern six cylinder V-6 engine and was built by a North Dakota form which specializes in making classic roadsters which come in kit form.
Boettcher is retired from the Manchester Water Works while his wife is a retired teacher who taught for 35 years in Candia.
''It's a fun car, a play car. We like to take it around Lake Winnipesaukee for weekend rides,'' he said.

Social workers name Hosmer 'Legislator of the Year'
LACONIA — The New Hampshire chapter of the National Association of Social Workers has named state Sen. Andrew Hosmer of Laconia as "Legislator of the Year" in recognition of his commitment to pursuing public policies to improve the lives of all citizens.
Steve Gorin, executive director of the state chapter of NASW, described Hosmer, who is serving his first term in the New Hampshire Senate, as "a natural choice for the award."
In a formal statement Hosmer, a Democrat, said he was honored to have been chosen. "Social workers are vitally important to the strengthening of our families, our communities and our economy." Later he suggested that his contributions to using Medicaid funds to extend health insurance to a needy population, seeking to increase the state minimum wage, and providing increased funding for mental health services factored in his selection.

6th floor stove fire empties Sunrise Towers in Laconia
LACONIA — A stove fire on the seventh floor of the Sunrise Towers last night spread to some cabinets and, though it was quickly extinguished, the smoke damage to the apartment has left its male resident temporarily homeless.
Sixth floor resident Alan Benoit said he thought he smelled something like a ballast burning when the alarms sounded a little after 7 p.m. He said he and a friend from his floor walked down the six flights of stairs.
Sunrise Towers, located just off the corner of South Main Street and Union Avenue, is owned and operated by the Laconia Housing Authority and is home to a number of elderly and disabled residents.
Resident Gary Sitka said he was watching television when the first alarm sounded. He said when the second alarm went off he left the building.
Sitka said there are multiple alarms in the building and when one sounds and if the Fire Department or building maintenance staff doesn't get to it, or if there is a fire, a second sounds and everyone knows to leave the building.
In this case, the smoke alarm in the apartment sounded and triggered the alarms for the rest of the building.
Fire Chief Ken Erickson said any alarm at Sunrise Towers automatically brings Laconia, Gilford, and Belmont firefighters to the tallest building in the immediate Lakes Region.
He said when Capt. Bob Landry came down Main Street and saw smoke pouring from a seventh floor balcony he automatically called for a second alarm which brings firefighters from all over the Lakes Region.
He said Landry's team ran up the seven floors and extinguished the fire.
Erickson said had first resonders not been able to extinguish it immediately, Landry would have gone to a third alarm, which would have brought additional manpower to the fire and coverage to other area departments.
Landry said the resident of the apartment knew not to try and put it out himself and immediately left the building. He is unharmed and building maintenance was working to find him a place to stay until his apartment can be repaired.
Landry said the stove is destroyed, the cabinets are damaged and the rest of the apartment has some smoke damage.
Erickson said that extra manpower is always needed in those situations in the event a fire spreads and people need help getting out of the building.
Police blocked off the entire area and rerouted traffic for about an hour.
Just before 8 p.m. firefighters allowed the residents of the bottom six floors to return to their apartments. He said firefighters checked on many of the residents of the tops floors to make sure they weren't having anxiety or other issues that could affect them physically.

Republican Fraser to challenge Gulick for New Hampton & C. Harbor seat in N.H. House
NEW HAMPTON — Valerie Fraser, who is serving her first term on the Board of Selectmen, has filed to run for the seat in the New Hampshire House of Representatives from New Hampton and Center Harbor.
The seat is currently held by Democrat Ruth Gulick, a retired attorney, who filed for re-election to a second term yesterday.
A Republican, Fraser said that she entered the race as advocate of public banking, believing that the state and counties should be authorized to establish banks that would hold public revenues from taxes and fees as deposits and fund investments in local commercial enterprises and infrastructure projects. North Dakota has successfully operated a public bank for almost a century, Fraser said. She said that no matter what the issue, "it always comes down to money" and public banking could provide some.
Fraser is a registered nurse and veterinarian, who recently sold her veterinary practice in Tilton and now operates from her home, where she raises dairy goats and keeps horses. Apart from public banking, she said "I've always been curious about what goes on in Concord."

Before dawn on Saturday morning, the Supreme Court issued a terse, unsigned ruling that, in effect, endorsed Texas's voter-ID law, the most restrictive such law in the nation.

DALLAS, Texas — I woke up to an early text from a close neighbor Sunday morning: "Did you get an emergency call from the city?" she asked. Dallas residents in the "M Streets" area were receiving reverse 911 calls about a nurse who lived on the 5700 block of Marquita, a street just four blocks south and four blocks west of the quiet block of McCommas, where I reside with my husband and two young children. The latest international health crisis patient – the first person to contract the disease on American soil – was a neighbor. Ebola was literally at my doorstep.
It's a big country, where states have their own legal peculiarities, political cultures and definitions of what makes a debilitating political scandal. Take Texas, for example, where the Republican governor, Rick Perry, has been indicted for abuse of office.
The eruption of anti-immigrant fury over the federal government's plans to temporarily relocate undocumented Latino children to shelters and Border Patrol facilities in Murietta, California, and other cities, is largely founded on the expressed belief that immigrants bring drugs and crime, threatening the safety of communities.
Twitter's November initial public offering has been a success for the company's founders and early investors. This reflects the market's optimistic view of the company's profit-making potential. For Twitter has transformed much of daily life — including how we get our news, communicate with others and participate in public discourse. (In fact, many media outlets now factor in what is trending on Twitter when covering news stories.)
Unless the Democrats wake up to the importance of winning state legislative elections, they are likely to remain a largely impotent minority in the House of Representatives and equally feeble in the state legislatures. The momentous Supreme Court decisions on the Voting Rights Act, same-sex marriage and affirmative action make winning these races all the more vital, for all these rulings deal with state action. The huge Republican victory in the 2010 election could turn out to be a gift that keeps giving.
It is not a national election year, but the "red state versus blue state" wars continue. Texas Governor Rick Perry's recent foray into California, to lure away businesses and jobs, signals more than a rivalry between these two mega-states. The Texas-California competition represents the political, economic and cultural differences driving American politics today – and for the foreseeable future.
There has been much ado lately about the Democratic Party's new project to turn Texas blue. What's lost on the liberals in D.C., California and Manhattan who will throw money at this futile effort, however, is that the Texas Republican Party is different and far stronger than its counterparts in other states. And it's not just because the Lone Star State under Republican control has become the envy of the nation in terms of job creation and economic growth.
The Internal Revenue Service created a bit of a kerfuffle last week when it announced that it would no longer publish data on interstate taxpayer migration and the income they take with them. This would be a huge disservice not just to economists and policy analysts but to all Americans.
Give Karl Rove a break. His meltdown on election night may not have been entirely about Fox News prematurely calling Ohio for President Barack Obama. After all, the poor guy had every right to get upset while watching the Republican Party nominee's campaign crash and burn.

Originally written on Fox Soccer | Last updated 11/18/12
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger appears ready to risk losing Theo Walcott for nothing next summer after declaring he won't be sold in January. Wenger ruled out any prospect of cashing in on Walcott in the new year if the deadlock over the 23-year-old's contract talks was not broken before the end of next month. Arsenal appeared to come close to entertaining bids for Walcott when negotiations over a new deal - to replace the one that expires next summer - stalled during the last transfer window. And despite having previously set a deadline of the end of 2012 for an agreement to be reached, Wenger insisted after Saturday's 5-2 north London derby thrashing of Tottenham that Walcott was going nowhere in January. Asked if the winger would be sold if the impasse continued into 2013, Wenger said simply: "No." Pressed on whether Walcott would see out the season at Arsenal come what may, he replied: "Yes." Wenger's revelation opened up the possibility of Walcott signing a pre-contract ag...

This seems like it will serve its purpose. We travel A LOT and tend to find ourselves in rainy places! It will be nice to have a jacket that packs as small as a pocket. My boy is tall and thin so the large seems to be a good fit. Arm length could be another half inch but its do-able!

i inderited a few servers with 800-900 jobs and around 1200 DTS on each
I want to cleanup whatever is not used
I was successfull in deleting some of the disabled old jobs it was all manyal and tidious and basically eyeballing everthing
Is there a better was if some one can suggest please?
How would i figure out what DTS are never used in any jobs?
in most of the DTS loggin is not enabled?
Can someone suggest a better more efficient route of doing this?

Depends on how the DTS packages are being referenced in the jobs. If they are being referenced by name (like: DTSRun /S ServerName /N "DTS Package Name"), then you can query the msdb..sysjobsteps table to see if a particular DTS package is being reference any job. If they DTS packages are being referenced by some ugly GUID, then you won't be able to tell what DTS package it refers to (at least I don't know of any method to do so).

He also shoots L, although the one time I saw the 'Dogs play, IIRC he was playing the right point.
- if we put him on the point, there absolutely has to be someone (Gui?) who will go to the net and try for rebounds, because Komi tends to either shoot at the goalie's crest or else miss the net by a good foot. I noticed there were times this season when Carbo was putting him on for the last :30 or so of power plays, so I wouldn't be shocked to see him on the second unit at some point.
- he shoots left, so not ideal for the right point, but not out of the question I suppose.
- I think he's more effective down low
S. Kostitsyn
- the usual drawbacks of having a forward, and a 21-year-old forward at that, play the point
Between Valentenko, Subban, and possibly McDonagh, I think we're going to be set on point men for awhile if we can get through the next season or two. Brisebois, or anyone else we signed in free agency, would just be a stopgap measure.
A Left hand shot on the right point is preferable for the powerplay.

Nadal makes presence felt on grass
Like Roger Federer on clay, Rafael Nadal is the second-best player on grass. The Spaniard could be the player to beat at Wimbledon in coming years, Whit Sheppard writes.
WIMBLEDON, England -- Just when it started to look like the earth might be flat after all, and Queen Isabella might be preparing to recommission Christopher Columbus to set sail to the New World, along came Roger Federer.
Federer had been thoroughly dominated by world No. 2 Rafael Nadal since beating him 16 months ago in the Nasdaq-100 final in Miami, dropping five consecutive matches since to the 20-year-old Spaniard from Majorca, including four finals this year alone.
