Europe 1200 gets ported to Warband. With a bigger map, more factions, and loads of new content. A reallistic mod that takes the player to the Middle Ages, when more than 20 different factions fight for their own expansion and glory.

So far this Beta is shaping up to be one of the most MASSIVE mods ever created for Mount & Blade. With more factions than you can shake a stick at, and a more original tournament system, this mod offers quite abit of content even in it's Beta stage.

Ive always been looking for a mod that would take place in Europe. But every mod ive found has turned out to be a bit broken, or just not my style. But this mod changes it all. Its a fun mod, not many bugs (wich ive seen) and it also made me happier cince it did not just take place in Europe, but also Sweden, my country.
There are many MaB:Warband mods that i love, but this one is at 1st place, along with "A clash of kings".

Frequent, annoying, abrupt pauses when traveling on world map; map landscape is bland, lacking in geographical features.
Jul 25th, 2014 0 people agree 0 people don't
On the bright side, this MOD has some great details that surprised me when I first started it; all the minor factions and ethnic troops are quite amazing. However, a glitch ruined all this for me; all the lords and kings/emperors are just SITTING IN THEIR CASTLE like a hardcore neet, it's been more than 50 days in the game and basically nobody has ever moved their lazy ***** except for one or two hooligan lords who make up their mind to set half of Europe on fire since everyone else are too lazy to give a fvck about their village.
so, please solve this bug, I know it's only in beta, but this bug really has ruined the game.

It's got potential, no doubt. But the map glitches out like hell all of the time really bugs (no pun intended) me, if you could get rid of that, then I would definately, also as a side note, the Scening. I decided to scene York, so I could be of use if you wanted :D

DNA analysis and mutation identification is useful for the diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH), particularly in the young and in other situations where clinical diagnosis may be difficult, and enables unambiguous identification of at-risk relatives. Mutation screening of the whole of the three FH-causing genes is costly and time consuming. We have tested the specificity and sensitivity of a recently developed multiplex amplification refractory mutation system assay of 11 low-density lipoprotein receptor gene (LDLR) mutations, one APOB (p.R3527Q) and one PCSK9 (p.D374Y) mutation in 400 patients attending 10 UK lipid clinics. The kit detected a mutation in 54 (14%) patients, and a complete screen of the LDLR gene using single-stranded conformation polymorphism/denaturing high performance liquid chromatography identified 59 different mutations (11 novel) in an additional 87 patients, for an overall detection rate of 35%. The kit correctly identified 38% of all detected mutations by the full screen, with no false-positive or false-negative results. In the patients with a clinical diagnosis of definite FH, the overall detection rate was higher (54/110 = 49%), with the kit detecting 52% of the full-screen mutations. Results can be obtained within a week of sample receipt, and the high detection rate and good specificity make this a useful initial DNA diagnostic test for UK patients.

Again, Mickelson was fighting himself on almost every question he answered. The haunting memories of Merion in 2013, of Winged Foot in 2006 and of Shinnecock in 2004 conspired to stop him from imagining the elusive grail in his hands on Sunday night.
"I prefer that he's lurking and coming from behind, 2 or 3 shots off the lead, so he doesn't have the pressure of holding the lead Saturday night," Mickelson's brother, Tim, a successful college player who's now the head coach at Arizona State, said Tuesday by phone. "He'll never go under the radar, but in that case the pressure would be off of him.
"I know when I played and had the lead, sometimes I'd think, 'What am I going to say after I win?' Or, 'What is the trophy going to look like?' I don't know if he's had those thoughts, but when you want something so badly, it's easy to get ahead of yourself, and in golf that's one of the worst things you can do."
Back in his news conference, Phil Mickelson was asked whether he's wanted the U.S. Open too badly and whether that explained his half dozen near misses.
"It's very possible that that's it," he said. "But I've also wanted the Masters and my first major awfully bad. I also wanted a British Open awfully bad. ... I think that this is a week that I've been looking forward to and it would mean a lot to me, but if I get ahead of myself, I won't have a chance."
Much as he did at Bethpage in 2009, when he nearly won in the wake of learning his wife, Amy, had cancer, Mickelson likely will use Pinehurst as something of an escape. He's being investigated as part of a federal insider-trading probe. (He's denied any wrongdoing.) It's another bad swing thought he didn't need.
"I think that as a golfer or an athlete, you have to be able to control your thoughts," Mickelson said. "And anything that's going on off the golf course, or on, you have to be able to refocus."
Added his brother, Tim: "I think Phil's in a pretty great frame of mind, without any negative thoughts in his head. ... He's always had a strong focus on the course, and he can make everything else wait four hours and then he'll address it."
Tim Mickelson said he believes his brother has another six, seven or eight opportunities to win a U.S. Open. They used to talk about the national championship a lot as kids, that and the Masters. They never dreamed much about the kind of breathless comeback Mickelson staged last summer at Muirfield in the Open Championship.
"I would've probably wagered my house or car that Phil would win a U.S. Open before a British," Tim said, "and I'm glad I did not do that."
Phil always comes back for more pain and misery; he's like an NFL cornerback that way. He's tough enough to put himself in position to get hurt at the Open again and again and again, and he deserves a lot of credit for that.
Just about everyone wants him to win here, including the people covering him. Journalists aren't allowed to root for teams or athletes, but they are allowed to root for the best story. Mickelson is the best available story on the board, and it isn't close.
So if he's in contention on the weekend, the Pinehurst crowd will be pulling as hard for him as the Belmont crowd was pulling for California Chrome. Will Mickelson end up confronting the same result? Will he finish his career as a latter-day Sam Snead? Will the U.S. Open be for him what the French Open was for Pete Sampras?

Cleansing Oil Shampoo is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from not for dry hair! My bad, I guess. I thought that because the name of this shampoo included OIL, I thought it would be nourishing. I see that the company's description only talks about the lather and how it eliminates build-up. Well, my normal-to-dry hair gradually over two weeks was stripped of every bit of moisture -- until I realized that my hair's taking on the consistency of straw was caused by the shampoo. For $57, that was a costly mistake. This should only be used on oily hair!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Volume without tangles A small amount produces a huge amount of foam which provides a soft feel and hair looks much fuller when styled. The smell is terrific. Would like to see a complimentary conditioner.

Recent Tasting Notes
Thanks again to Geoffrey for sending me some of this tea.
I really do love this tea. It has a beautiful flavor – very rich and flavorful. I love the warm spicy undertones and the hint of sweetness that hits around mid-sip. It is not quite as bold as an authentic Keemun, but, that's OK… sometimes different is good, and in this case that's very true. A very pleasant, deep, complex flavor that I'm enjoying immensely.
I have Geoffrey Norman to thank for sending me this tea. Thanks!
This tea confuses me! The appearance of the dry leaves remind me of a Formosa Oolong, and even the brewed liquor smells like a Formosa Oolong. And it tastes more like an Oolong to me than a typical Keemun.
Nevertheless, I am liking it! It has a warm taste to it – not just temperature, but a subtle spicy undertone – and a pleasant smoothness. No bitter taste and very little (as in practically no) astringency. A very pleasant cup.
I think I want to try this one again before I start rating it.
Finishing off the last of these pearls this evening. I do love Jasmine Pearls!
Here's my full-length review of it, written some time ago but my feelings for this tea haven't changed: http://www.teareviewblog.com/?p=17616
This smells a little herbally but it seems to have a SMIDGE of berry aroma hiding somewhere, too. The spices are very subtle…very light. Once infused I can smell the lemongrass and the spice is just underneath the lemon-aroma. The taste is very different…there is a cinnamon powder type taste paired with the lemongrass on the tongue and that's on top of the stereotypical green bean or fresh pea type taste I have been associating with Guayusa. Not bad. Very different from what I expected…but not bad at all!
Yet another surprise! Just when I think I can predict a flavor of a tea – I am dead wrong – but in cases like this – I LIKE THIS! I LIKE being WRONG! :)
This has a very masculine black tea aroma and taste. It's very rich and bold. It has hints of pepper and earthiness to it. An even smaller hint of smoke, too.
I really like this because of how different it ended up being! YUM!
See how my tastes have changed for this gem!
upping rating…
I just received a HUGE box from Mark T Wendell from UPS and I'm jumping right in!!!!
This is surely Vanilla flavored black, indeed! The aroma is intense and the black tea and vanilla flavoring (to taste) is about medium strength in each area.
Overall this is an enjoying cuppa! I'm not a vanilla freak so maybe if you are you will find this to be just what you are looking for! As for an outsider looking in – I did want to try it to compare notes! This is very nice! And that's coming from someone 'middle of the road' in the liking-vanilla world, so to speak! :)
This tea brews to such a lovely, pale yellowish-green color. The aroma is vegetative, but the flavor is not quite as vegetative as I thought it would be. It does have a vegetable like taste to it (which is more like vegetable than grassy), and a hint of buttery sweetness to it too. This is an incredibly tasty cuppa!
I like this one!
I could geekily nitpick that it can't be a Keemun unless it's actually produced in Qimen County, but I'm not in a purist mood this morning. The fact that it was a Formosa-borne black tea was merit enough for sipping. Unlike Chinese Keemun, it doesn't possess the bitter foretaste. In fact, none of its flavor characteristics match up with Keemun. There's no sweetness and no "orchid"-like comparison. What it does offer is an aged pu-erh's earthiness coupled with a Formosa oolong's nutty and pinecone-like flavor. It's no Keemun Gongfu or Mao Feng, but it still does pretty well.
Full Review: http://www.itsallabouttheleaf.com/1985/tea-review-mark-t-wendell-formosa-keemun/
The Breville One-Touch Tea Maker arrived today, so I gave this tea a whirl to see if I liked it better prepared in a different way…
Boy, am I glad I did! I really enjoyed this. Steeped it at 185 for three minutes. (Well, probably more like 3.25 or so as I messed it up at first and had to restart the cycle.) It tasted like a different tea. I could taste a slight, mellow hint of floral… something. It tasted a bit woodsy at first, then developed into more of an almost mossy taste. Doesn't sound as nice written down, but I did enjoy it. I didn't get to steep a second time, unfortunately, but will try again soon. Really nice and light tea.
The scents of smoke and pine are perfectly balanced, but still allow the flavour of the tea leaves themselves to come through. The leaves are large for a relatively mass-produced tea; even fairly coarse filters will prevent sediment from passing into your cup. The tea will not go bitter no matter how badly you overbrew it. Overall, an excellent cup. Keeps well; order in bulk.

The horrors of war, the danger of shifting alliances and the anguish of intra-family rivalries raise the dramatic stakes, matched by the glorious visuals.
The show beautifully depicts a massive game of musical chairs, a world at war with doom ever present just across the border.
Those who make the investment are richly rewarded. There's enough tension, betrayal, treachery, greed and sex, after all, to fill eight seasons of "Scandal."
So far (judging from the first four episodes), it's living up to our highest expectations.
I just want my favorite shows to be able to break my heart, and the more broadly Game of Thrones ranges and the longer its cast list grows, the tougher it will be for the drama to do that. It's impossible not to be drawn into the saga, however (aside from one or two strands that are filler and/or confusingly laid out).
Game of Thrones seems to be getting better all the time judging from the four episodes sent for review. It's just that it also seems to be taking longer and longer to get there in the interests of servicing all the returning and new characters in play.
[Peter Dinklage, Ciaran Hinds, Paul Kaye, and Dianna Rigg are] all fun to watch, even when their characters don't have anything in particular to do besides relay information that we need to keep up with the story or keep straight the seven (so we're told) warring families.

The pace of tonight'sFor a show as vast and complex as HBO's Game of Thrones, a slow and careful re-introduction is probably for the best. The pace of tonight's Season 3 premiere is accordingly quite measured- one might say that it abruptly ends before anything significant actually occurs- but we find ourselves cured of cliffhanger and able to begin sorting through a plot that has had a tendency to overwhelm in the past. Timeframe, along with the pantheon of characters, has been somewhat condensed from the novelistic version of tonight's events, but the cuts were made carefully and do not yet appear to leave any obvious holes or scars. Performances are impressive, writing is stellar, new winds of complexity begin blowing in the north and south alike, and one can't help but wish it were already next Sunday.

''You live with people and you move out and you have all these relationships,'' she said. ''You sort of realize that there are all these people whom you could marry. There are all these relationships that could work. I think that by the time you reach your early 30's, you have a less romantic attitude and a more cynical way of looking at these things.''
She added that the value contemporary middle-class culture placed on control further complicated romance. She cited behavior among her peers that included obsessions with remaining thin, excessive exercise, addictions to work and a near terror of unhealthy habits like smoking or heavy drinking. Such an overly cautious and conscious approach to living, Ms. Roiphe said, conspired to drain the mystery out of love affairs.
Falling in love requires surrendering control, she suggested. Many people of her generation found it difficult ''to take the leap of faith'' traditionally required for a marriage to take place, she said.
Ms. Roiphe attributed the popularity of the 19th-century British author Jane Austen, whose novels ''Emma'' and ''Sense and Sensibility'' have been adapted for recent big budget films, to a nostalgia for romance and a world where the rules of courtship are clear and timely.
''In the society portrayed by Austen, there is both flirtation and courtship, and everything is chaperoned, and it is all a very slow process,'' Ms. Roiphe said. ''It's erotic and romantic.''
But Ms. Roiphe is not advocating a return to pre-feminist times. She said she grew up in a feminist household where the equality of women and men was a given. Her argument against date-rape codes propagated by feminists at Harvard College in the late 1980's is that such codes seem predicated on a presumption of female frailty and vulnerability, rather than equality.
In The New York Times Book Review, Courtney Weaver called the book ''a shoot-from-the-hip blend of observation and reportage.'' But the reviewer felt that the book was flawed by the preponderance of personal opinion and anecdotal information, to the exclusion of substantive research.
''What research there is,'' the reviewer wrote, ''seems to be gathered mostly from two sources: the headlines of Time and Newsweek and a few interview sessions with East Coast teen-agers.
Ms. Roiphe, who graduated from Harvard in 1990, went on to Princeton University, where she received a doctorate in English.
In the ''Afterword'' of her first book, she writes vividly of the long, early morning walks and talks she and her mother shared on the beach in Amagansett, where her family has a vacation home. Discussions with her mother, Anne Roiphe, a novelist and columnist for The New York Observer, she said, have been a significant part of her intellectual development.
But she added that the two don't always agree.
''My mother was totally horrified by a piece I had in Esquire magazine a few months ago,'' Ms. Roiphe said. ''It was called 'The Independent Woman and Other Lies.' ''
In the piece, Ms. Roiphe articulates a fantasy that she believes she shares with other independent and financially successful women who have never doubted their equality with the opposite sex. They dream about surrendering control (if only for an evening) to a kind of archetypal, worldly, successful gentleman.
''A lot of women I know want a man to take care of them,'' Ms. Roiphe said. ''They sort of want the man in the gray flannel suit again.''
Ms. Roiphe said the kind of romantic moments she and her friends felt they were missing were captured, ''in old movies when a man lights a woman's cigarette.''
''It's an electric moment,'' Ms. Roiphe said, ''and I think we've lost that.''
But while she mused over this elusive image, Ms. Roiphe acknowledged that she always had ended up going out with writers, rather than bankers and lawyers.
She also said that she doesn't smoke.

I'd suggest that the top right newsflash panel and photo on the left are not making the best use of space, that text area is rather empty.

Conor Oberst brings intensity to Pabst Theater
Describing the voice of Conor Oberst, many people have used the word "quaver," even after the indie singer-songwriter toned down the teenage trembling, as a 34-year-old man should.
At the Pabst Theater Saturday night, however, the word remained suitable for Oberst's live concert. His very body seemed to vibrate as if his nervous system was dosing his skin with extra voltage: Not enough to convulse him; enough to generate a low hum of surplus energy beneath his performance. »Read Full Article

WALLA WALLA — The area's first official run-bike-run mountain bike race saw 72 contestants running, pedaling and coasting — but mostly pedaling — through several miles of trails surrounding Bennington Lake on Sunday.
The first Walla Walla Dirty Duathlon started just after 10 a.m. near the top of the boat launch, but the race quickly diverged to the trails surrounding the lake.
"I think they did a great job. It was organized. The course was well marked. Publicity went well. I am just glad they held it," contestant Mark Higgins said, after finishing a 15.4-mile bike ride that looped twice around the lake.
Higgins, who rides regularly in mountain bike races, said the course wasn't as technical as others, but noted that what it lacked in challenging grades and turns it made up for in the endurance required.
"This is more of a cross-country course. It is not very technical but great on strength and conditioning," he said.
The race consisted of a 2.7-mile run followed by a 15.4-mile ride and another 2.7-mile run.
Race director Michael Gordon said he chose the location for several reasons.
Bennington Lake is a scenic area lined with numerous trails that can host a mountain bike race; the trails don't require high proficiency in riding techniques; the area is close to town; and the course is a great stamina builder for the beginning of the riding season.
"It just happens that this is the type of terrain we have out here … But I think most people were challenged today," Gordon said.
They were especially challenged if they tried to keep up with Gordon, who won the race with a 9 minute 18 second lead.
Gordon said he plans to hold another Walla Walla Dirty Duathlon around the same time next year and hopes it will grow.
Considering the location, it probably will.
"What a beautiful place. You don't get a more beautiful place to ride than Bennington Lake. What a great place to kick off the spring," Higgins said.

The Russia Gambit
For the sake of Syrian lives, John Kerry's got to play hardball with Moscow.
- By Christopher S. ChivvisChristopher S. Chivvis is a senior political scientist at the nonprofit, nonpartisan RAND Corporation and teaches at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. He is the author of the forthcoming Toppling Qaddafi, a book on last year's NATO intervention in Libya. , Edward P. Joseph<p> Edward P. Joseph is executive director of the Institute of Current World Affairs and a lecturer at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. </p>
A brutal, internecine war drags on, pitting a determined dictator against an outgunned opposition. Hundreds of thousands are displaced, flooding into neighboring states. U.N. mediation falters as allies are divided among themselves and with Russia. A U.S. administration, wary of deeper involvement, struggles to formulate policy. And, in the midst of this confusion, a new secretary of state flies off to confer with allies to see what can be done.
Is this John Kerry, now traveling in Europe and soon the Middle East for consultations about Syria, or is it Warren Christopher, who embarked on a similar mission 20 years ago to bring the bloodshed in Bosnia-Herzegovina to an end? The parallels between the two missions are striking — and we should hope that Kerry has learned the lessons from Christopher's tragically failed bid.
In May 1993, Christopher tried to sell America's European allies on "lift and strike" — a plan to end the crisis in Bosnia by lifting the arms embargo on the outgunned Bosnian Muslims while launching airstrikes on Bosnian Serb artillery positions. The plan represented a measured response, but the allies doubted the administration's commitment to its own plan and declined to back it. In the end, the Europeans were right: Washington was still reluctant to risk a messy intervention in Bosnia, dooming Christopher's mission before he took off. When he returned to Washington, "lift and strike" was abandoned in favor of a containment strategy for the Bosnia conflict. It would be two more years and tens of thousands more casualties before the United States finally intervened — but it eventually did.
Kerry faces a similar dilemma on his inaugural trip as secretary of state. Unless he can convince allies like Turkey as well as skeptics like Russia that the United States is serious about altering the trajectory of the conflict, Kerry might as well skip the Syria talking points and focus on other issues. As it is, Kerry is struggling to get key members of the opposition to meet him in Rome on Thursday. After two years of war — the same point at which Christopher failed — America's allies need to know what the Obama administration, now in its second term, is really prepared to do about Syria. Otherwise, the conflict will likely drag on indefinitely. Indeed, in an echo of the war in Bosnia, European foreign ministers last week refused to lift the arms embargo that might have aided the rebel Free Syrian Army. This only freezes into place the Assad regime's substantial military advantage.
Current trends in Syria suggest that Washington will be forced into some kind of action eventually. Every day the Assad regime manages to hang on, however crippled, the risk that it will use chemical weapons out of desperation mounts. Likewise, if the regime falls to radical Sunni Islamists, its chemical arsenal may well end up in radical hands. In either case, the damage to U.S. security and regional influence will be substantial.
The best way out of this quandary is to train and equip opposition fighters — the approach that the outgoing secretaries of state and defense, as well as the former CIA director reportedly backed. Providing weapons — most critically, man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS) that can neutralize the regime's overwhelming air advantage — to rebel groups on a selective basis would avoid the problem of aiding all groups indiscriminately, as would be the case with a no-fly zone, for example.
Obviously, there will be risks. As in Libya, MANPADs and other weapons could get into the wrong hands. But that risk must be measured against the alternatives. The possibility that Syria will dissolve into a fractured land dominated by radical Sunni Islamists, perhaps confronting a rump Alawite bastion still led by Assad or his cronies, has already raised anxieties and altered calculations around the region. The conflict is also spilling over into Lebanon — Syrian rebels claim to have been attacked by Hezbollah, and are threatening to retaliate against the Shiite militant organization's positions in Lebanon. And if a radical Sunni successor regime in Damascus inspires a return to Sunni-Shiite civil war in Iraq, then Iran is likely to cement its role in charting Iraq's future. Sectarian relations around the region — in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon — will suffer, raising tensions and injecting additional instability into the equation.
A more moderate replacement for the Assad regime, on the other hand, would represent a blow to Iran and a boon to the United States and its regional partners and allies. Israel would be a primary beneficiary, with its antagonist, Hezbollah, having been dealt a serious setback. This, in turn, could enhance the prospects for peace with the Palestinian Authority.
To protect American interests, the Obama administration need not embark on a daunting, boots-on-the-ground engagement in Syria. However, it is time for the White House to signal clearly that it is ready to reconsider its current position on the crisis.
In his talks with allies, Kerry should seek commitments to alter the current dynamics on the ground in favor of the non-radical, unified opposition. Providing anti-aircraft weapons, training, and intelligence to select opposition fighters would serve this aim, and also provide the United States with much-needed leverage over the often-fractious opposition leadership. Leverage matters now, and will matter equally when the fighting ends and Syria starts trying to rebuild.
Kerry should also make it clear that while Washington backs U.N. envoy Lakhdar Brahimi's peace plan, the United States is determined to see the fighting end soon, not simply facilitate protracted negotiations that buy the Assad regime time.
Russia is well placed to help achieve these goals. Moscow cannot simply order Assad onto a waiting Russian aircraft, but a shift away from reflexive defense of Syria in the U.N. Security Council would be immediately noticed by Assad, and more importantly, by his coterie, increasing the pressure on them to desert. Further isolation of Assad, coming from one of his primary backers, would also be a boon to opposition morale, fueling the sense that momentum is shifting.
At the moment, Moscow and Washington are moving toward a shared aim for negotiations, in which representatives of Assad would have a role. The opposition is bitterly divided over this issue, and has agreed only begrudgingly to enter talks before Assad steps down. For negotiations to succeed, Assad has to believe that his Russian backers are in fact committed to ending the fighting and could abandon him. Otherwise, Assad will either refuse to participate, or like other dictators who know they have the military advantage, string out bogus talks while the killing goes on.
Unfortunately, Moscow is more content with the status quo than is Washington. So far, the United States has done little other than provide humanitarian and political support to the opposition, while Iran does the heavy lifting on the ground to prop up Assad. Russian obstructionism in the Security Council, meanwhile, combined with arms shipments to, and evacuation flights of Russian citizens from Damascus, help sustain Assad without imposing significant costs on Moscow or exposing it to a loss of prestige if the regime collapses.
Changing the Russian position means changing Moscow's calculus on Syria. And that means presenting the Kremlin with an alternative that it finds more unpalatable than the status quo: a NATO-backed, Turkey-led military coalition invited by the Arab League to intervene in the Syria conflict. If Turkish leaders are as serious about taking action as their recent statements suggest, they should be willing to back such a strategy. In addition to Turkey, this force would be made up of key regional actors, including Saudi Arabia and other Gulf States, Jordan, and Egypt. The coalition would train and equip selective opposition militia, while setting the stage for direct military intervention, such as air strikes aimed at Assad's air force. The United States, France, and Britain would play essential supporting roles through NATO, as the United States did for France and Britain in the NATO phase of the Libya intervention.
Even opening discussions about the formation of such a coalition would be difficult for Moscow to swallow in the wake of NATO's successful intervention in Libya. Russia would be confronted with the prospect of seeing its erstwhile ally ousted with the backing of NATO and without the express backing of the Security Council.
None of this, of course, will be necessary if Russia ups the pressure and isolates Assad. A strong regional coalition, led by Turkey, could later become the basis for a U.N. peacekeeping mission that even includes Russia (as in Bosnia and Kosovo). Such a mission could prevent postwar reprisals and help keep Syria from further disintegration.
In short, Kerry's message to the Russians and to the allies should be the same: Washington is now committed to resolving the crisis and is ready to work with you, but will not allow the conflict to continue indefinitely. As ever, there are no guarantees this approach will succeed. But another secretary of state tried the alternative two decades ago and proved that, when faced with an intractable crisis, consultations without commitment to clear objectives is a recipe for failure. John Kerry will need to do more than simply listen to his counterparts if he wants to avoid the same fate on his crucial first trip abroad.

BMW Artificial G-Force Technology
Oh BMW, you cards.
Today, the company sent us a release about its new Force Injection Booster simulation technology.
Apparently, it recreates the effect of spirited driving even when you're commuting at slower speeds. When activated at speeds under 20mph, the Force Injection Booster (FIB) works by extracting kinetic energy from the car's engine and converting it into positive g-forces.
The manufacturer claims: "These g-forces are then channelled directly at the driver and passengers through the air conditioning vents, while a mild electric current is delivered through the front seats, to simulate the same exhilarating feeling of driving at high speed."
Guffaw. And, indeed, guffaw.

NHL to hold hearing on Dubinsky hit on Scuderi
FEB 06, 2013 5:57a ET
The development, first reported by the Columbus Dispatch, is a result of his hit on Kings defenseman Rob Scuderi in Tuesday night's game.
Dubinsky received a five-minute major for boarding and automatic game misconduct.
Scuderi told The Times after the game that he felt it was kind of "open season" on some defensemen. But he declined to say if Dubinsky deserved additional discipline for the hit.
"That's not my decision," Scuderi said. "That's the league's decision, and it's in their hands."
The league confirmed a hearing will take place, and said, via email, that it would be Wednesday afternoon.

Requiring the use of a helmet in not a sufficiently serious restriction on the rider when viewed next to the benefit to society (even to those too stupid to understand it).
But the right-wing Govenor and legislation did away with the law. In the name of freedom. I'll remind you people of this:
Your use of "right wing Govenor" is telling. It tells me (and others) that you are a left wing libtard. An asswipe that screams for tolerance until you come across something or someone you disagree with. Then you are suddenly intolerant. You scream for
"HEALTHCARE FOR ALL!!! ... But not for you unless you do what we say"
You and your kind are a joke.
The question was never as you blindly state "Is it a reasonable infringement on the right of 'happiness'... blah blah"
The question is and always has been
or as the powers that be so susictly put it "freedom".
The Mythical "benefit to society" does not exist. Even if it did exist it is so ridiculously minuscule as to not even warrant a second look.
Of course those on the extreme Left and extreme Right are too blinded by their own idiocy to see things as they so clearly are. They have only one goal... To program the sheep like you under their control into blindly following their agenda. The only thing that keeps this country going it the free thinking moderate people that refuse to be sheep. But you would know nothing about that.

Being single has been very interesting. I've learned and grown from each person I've met and every experience I've had. We live our lives through the filters of our own experiences. I want to always live an authentic and inspired life. So what you see is what you get. I live without regret. I take calculated risks. I make choices and I live with them. I am in the moment, living, feeling, laughing, exploring, and enjoying my life honestly and passionately... As I should. If I am not happy with me, who else will be? I'd love a partner who is comfortable in his own skin, has positive energy, and a calming spirit. He sees the good in every situation and is living, or aspiring to live, his dreams. He knows what he wants and is willing to put in the mental, emotional, and physical work to get it. Together we can energize and encourage each other to our best selves! I've been in Arizona for 3 years now and am still learning what's hot and what's not. I enjoy restaurants, lounges, dancing, movies, outdoor events when it's not 120 degrees out, hiking, exercising, and traveling. I recently re-discovered bowling and had a fantastic time. I hadn't done that in 10 years! I love conversation, so any venue that facilitates that is great. I've also traveled internationally and plan to travel more. Looking forward to meeting someone who will travel with me:) Thank you for taking a moment to view my profile. Send me a message if you're interested in getting to know me better.

First Baptist Church, N. Depot St., Lebanon, will host their 2nd Annual Back-to-School Giveaway Saturday, Aug. 6, from 10 a.m. till noon. The event is sponsored by the women's ministry.
Back-to-school fun day
Open Arms Community Church is sponsoring a fun day of water slides, slip 'n slide, free food and drinks on church land at 2205 Danville Road, Lebanon. It will be held from 11 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6. Free school supplies will be given away while supplies last.
Blue mold finally moved out of Pennsylvania, and fortunately for Kentucky growers, it went north. On July 21, a case of the disease was reported in an eight-acre field of tobacco in Massachusetts.
I was saddened to read of the recent passing of Linda Allison-Lewis, cooking columnist in Kentucky Living, the magazine from the Inter County Energy Co-op, and the author of "Kentucky's Best - Fifty Years of Great Recipes."
Though Linda and I never met in person, we talked on the phone many times about recipes. When I wrote my own cookbook, she helped me by writing a very nice article about it, accompanied by a picture of my donkeys and me.
Central Kentucky Lifeline Program
Marion County will soon become the newest community to begin the Central Kentucky Lifeline program, whose goal is to bring healing to the broken hearted and freedom to those held captive by substance or behavior addictions and other life-controlling issues.
The community is invited to get involved in Lifeline's small-group community ministry program. The group plans to meet at noon, Friday, July 29, at the Marion County Judicial Center. Lunch will be provided.

Initial Claims Unexpectedly Fall to 355K
Thursday, November 8, 2012 at 09:37AM
Although the numbers may be skewed due to the effects of hurricane Sandy, this morning's release of initial jobless claims for the latest week showed an unexpected decline to 355K from last week's reading of 363K (expectations were for an increase to 370K). We will have to wait until next week to see the ultimate impact of Sandy on jobless claims. Continue reading.

If something was wrong during an ultrasound would they tell you?
Mason 4/02/2012
Number #2 09/03/2013
DD #1 3-7-2012 TS, ACC, and perfect.
You can kind of tell if there is something wrong if the tech gets up and gets the doc or goes to consult someone.. During my anatomy scan the tech kept going back to the stomach over and over again.. at the end she said "wait on minute" and went to get the MW. baby did have something wrong.. I knew it from the way the ultrasound was going. Usually the tech wont say anything at all..they could get in trouble.
I think it would depend on if it was serious or not.

They aren't supposed to say anything. The other side of it is they could be mistaken. My friend had a baby last August and she was told that his legs were measuring short, then at another ultrasound was told that his head was measing small. All by the ultrasound techs. There was never anything wrong with him and it caused unneccessary stress on her.

The 24-year-old has put pen to paper on a two-year deal at Scotstoun and will join up with Gregor Townsend's squad for pre-season training at the end of the month.
The 6ft 1in tight-head began his senior career in Pretoria, making his debut for the Blue Bulls in 2009. He went on to appear 41 times for the club, 14 of which were in Super Rugby. In 2013, De Klerk joined the Cheetahs and has made 14 appearances in the Vodacom Cup and Currie Cup, playing seven times in Super Rugby this season.
De Klerk becomes Glasgow's third prop to join the club this summer and fifth signing ahead of the 2014/15 season, following the arrivals of Alex Allan, Euan Murray, James Downey and Murray McConnell.
"I'm delighted to have signed for the Warriors and I'm looking forward to playing in the Guinness PRO12 and European Rugby Champions Cup next season," he said. "It's always been an ambition of mine to play for a European club and I'm looking forward to going over to Scotland later this month and meeting my new team-mates.
"I'm expecting tough competition to get into the team but that is a great challenge and something which really motivates me.
"Glasgow have made excellent progress over the last couple of seasons and I'm looking forward to being a part of that."
The Glasgow Warriors head coach, Gregor Townsend, said: "He'll add depth and competition to our front row. Rossouw is also very good in the loose and a strong tackler and has already played more than 20 games in Super Rugby."

The Battle of Hastings is a large 2 day scenario rec ball event at Splash Planet in Hastings, New Zealand.
Posted on October 23rd, 2014
Splash Planet is a huge water slide park that closes over the winter season.
Thankfully, Ultimate Paintball Events sees this as a golden opportunity to hold an epic paintball battle for players from all over the country!
This is a very unique location that so many players, the world over, could only dream of.
Assault the Castle, defend the Pirate ship and hold the tree fort were some of the awesome games that we played. The combination of an incredibly unique venue and the buzz of paintballers from all over the country with one common interest really made this the not be missed event of the year!
We had close to 150 player's soldier it out in all kinds of weather, the weather gods weren't being too helpful but rain or shine, this game was taking place no matter what. In the end there were a few showers but nothing we wouldn't expect at this time of year. There wasn't many local players at the event which meant that pretty much everyone had to travel to get there. Big ups to all the players that made that put in the hard yards to make it!
Black Sheep Media was amongst the action, getting some amazing photos and footage. Heres a sample of what's to come. Also stay tuned for video's from both Tony @ BSM and Dave @ Outpost 43!
We were divided into two teams Yellow team comprising of players from the Auckland region and Christchurch crew, and facing the might of the RED team.
Both teams had a great mix of players from different styles, mag fed, pump, speedball, bush ball, and Paintball Bows!! It was really great to see all the different setups that people were running and the mixture of different guns that were in action. It's awesome that people can rock the marker / gear that reflects their interest in the sport but we all come together for one ultimate game.
Blair spent most of the event at the Outpost 43 popup store, promoting and selling gear and grub to the players, while Dave was out there rocking his cape and filming the action.
We've been a part of a few large events now, and it was great to see old and new players from around our country stop in and check out our store! At Outpost 43, we felt that it was a great opportunity to promote our range of gear to people that usually don't get the chance to visit us in Auckland.
Once again Outpost 43 would like to thank Devon and Dye Asia for coming on board with prizes, Riverbank Engineering, Paintball Shop, Horowhenua Paintball Club and Ultimate Paintball Events.
No one was really focused on who won the game, and all the prizes were given out as spot prizes which was cool!
There were some awesome trophy's made for outstanding players and like always, its great to be able to give back to the players and seeing people's faces when they win gear!!!
Keep an eye out for more large scale games from Ultimate Paintball Events. We are super excited for Urban Warfare happening February 2015!
Cheers again and can't wait to do it again next year. See you all there!

YIELD: Serves 4 to 6
+ To make your pickled beet "olives," start at least a day ahead.
+ In a small pot or saucepan, mix the vinegar, water, and the sugar. Add the orange juice, mustard seed, and the peppercorns. Bring the pickling liquid to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes or longer.
+ While the liquid is cooling, cut the beet into olive-size cubes and place them with the garlic in a clean container.
+ When the liquid is lukewarm, pour it into your container, covering the beets. Close the container tightly, give it 5 or 6 good shakes, and stick the beets in the fridge to cool. In 24 to 48 hours, they will be ready to eat and will stay fresh in the fridge for 1 week.
+ Once your beets have pickled, it's time to roast your bell peppers. Put them in a baking pan and place under the broiler. Turn the broiler to high and check every 5 minutes or so to see if the skin has blistered and charred. Then, using tongs, rotate the peppers to blister and char the other sides.
+ Remove the bell peppers from the oven and put them in a paper bag. Close the top and allow them to steam for 15 minutes. When cool to the touch, slide the skin off the peppers and discard. Slice the fl esh horizontally into thin strips and then chop in half. Set aside.
+ To prepare the fennel, cut the stems and the bottom nub from the fennel bulbs and remove the outer layer if bruised. Cut the bulbs vertically in half. Place the fl at side of each half on a cutting board and slice the fennel into thin, crescent-shaped spears. Discard the hard core and set the fennel spears aside.
+ Chop the romaine leaves into bite-size pieces and put them in a large mixing bowl, gently tossing with the red wine vinegar and olive oil. Next, place the ricotta, sun-dried tomatoes, and fennel seed in another bowl and mix.
+ To assemble the salad, spread the romaine on a serving dish or platter. Cover with rows of green peppers, fennel, tomatoes, beet, cucumbers, and red peppers. Sprinkle with ricotta and freshly ground black pepper.
+ sodium count: Beet: 64mg per beet; Fennel: 45mg per 1 cup, 122mg per bulb; Low-sodium ricotta: 24mg per 1/4 cup depending on brand; Sundried tomato: 5mg per serving depending on brand; Cherry tomatoes: 7mg per 1 cup
