Kilimanjaro Machame Trek
Arusha, Tanzania
Prices From: $2,298 per person
Mount Kilimanjaro is a perfectly shaped, active volcano rising sheer from the plains. At 5895 meters it is the highest point in Africa and can be climbed any time of the year. At the lower levels, you will pass through cultivated farmlands rising through tropical rain forest onto alpine meadows and finally the barren landscape leading to the snow and ice capped summit. The Machame Route is one of the best, most affordable climbing routes on Mount Kilimanjaro and is a popular route for trekkers who want to take their time and enjoy sleeping outdoors and watching the sun rise and set over the Great Rift Valley.
Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 - Arusha Arrival
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport you will be met by our representative and driven to your hotel in Arusha. After you have had time to relax and refresh after your flight, you will be briefed about your upcoming trek. By now, you'll have a good idea of what the trek entails, but this is the perfect time to ask any last-minute questions you might have.
Overnight: Ahadi Lodge (Dinner Included)
Day 2 - Arusha - Kilimanjaro - Machame
Hike: 8.2 km 1840m-3022m 5-6 hours
After breakfast you will be met by your guide and porters and depart for the entry gate of Kilimanjaro National Park where we fulfill the registration formalities before entering the Park. The initial trek winds through heavily rooted forest areas parallel to flowing streams. We eat lunch along the way and by mid-afternoon we reach our first camp.
Overnight: Machame Camp (All Meals Included)
Day 3 - Machame - Shira Two
Hike: 5 km 3022m-3830m 5-6 hours
The words steep, rocky and dusty are our adjectives for the day as we leave the grassland behind and enter the more barren landscape of the mountain. We make our way slowly upward with a backdrop of Giant Senecias – today is a great introduction to acclimatization as we ascend up, down and over the seemingly endless ridges.
Overnight: Shira Two Camp (All Meals Included)
Day 4 - Shira Two - Barranco
Hike: 10.4 km 3830m-3900m 8-9 hours
We start out this morning with a gentle hike before encountering rocks and boulders that keep us on our toes and by lunchtime we reach Lava Tower (4530m). After lunch the more adventurous may opt to ascend Lava Tower to enjoy the fantastic view before reaching our camp for the night.
Overnight: Barranco Camp (All Meals Included)
Day 5 - Barranco - Karanga
Hike: 5.5 km 3900m-4040m 4-5 hours
After breakfast today, we climb Barranco Wall: a steep but pleasant climb culminating in views of the Kibo massif and the surrounding glacier. As we look across the valley we can see a steady line of porters on their way to our next camp behind us. Today is an important day for acclimitization and Karanga Camp will be reached by lunch time. The afternoon is free to continue short treks in the area or relaxing at the campsite in preparation for the summit push.
Overnight: Karanga Camp (All Meals Included)
Day 6 - Karanga – Barafu
Hike: 3.5 km 4040m - 4680m 4-5 hours
Today is a short but steep uphill climb. We continue our our climb across a barren landscape with lots of boulders and shattered rocks. It is very quiet and peaceful and the extra day of acclimatization comes in very handy at this point. The Decken Glacier is always presence to your left as you reach a rocky section for some more scrambling before reaching our camp amidst large rocks with sheer cliff-faces. Tonight we will go to bed early (7pm) as the wake-up call is 11pm! Most climbers won't sleep much - just close your eyes and relax for a few hours.
Overnight: Barafu Camp (All Meals Included)
Day 7 - Barafu - Summit - Mweka
Hike: 17.4 km 4330m-5895m-3075m 13-15 hours
This is summit day – the culmination of five long days of climbing. We wake up around midnight for a quick snack and then start for the summit. Although we start out on rocky ground it soon turns to snow as we near the Crater rim. Slowly, slowly we trudge upwards and this is when fatigue really starts to set in for the first time, especially when we enter the volcanic scree area; every step slides backwards as we push for the summit. We reach the rim at Stella Point around sunrise and continue on to the Summit at Uhuru Peak, just a short distance away. After only a few minutes at the peak we return down our steep track for brunch and a rest back at Barafu Camp. After this, we have a comfortable but dusty walk down to Mweka.
Overnight: Mweka Camp (All Meals Included)
Day 8 - Mweka - Arusha
Hike: 8.8km 3075m-1645m 3-4 hours
On a clear morning you can wake up to the peak of Kibo in the background of the camp – a real photographic opportunity and a great reminder of yesterdays Summit push. Today is a fun morning of singing and enjoying the last moments with your 'Kili' team before we all head down through the steep forest to the National Park gate. We complete signing out formalities before saying good-bye and boarding our transfer vehicle to Arusha.
Overnight: Ahadi Lodge (All Meals Included)
Day 9 - Arusha Departure
After breakfast you will be transferred to Kilimanjaro International Airport in time to catch your departure flight home.

The following incidents were obtained from Berkeley County Sheriff's Office reports:
• A Moncks Corner man reported an attempted burglary at his business on U.S. 52. The complainant showed the deputy a section of the employee lounge area where a large hole had been cut into the back of the building.
The burglar was apparently unable to enter because there was a large file cabinet directly in front of the hole. The burglar tore siding off the building and then tore a hole in the exterior wall.
The damage occurred sometime between 9 p.m. on Aug. 13 and 6 a.m. on Aug. 14.
• The manager of a store on South Live Oak Drive reported that two items were missing from a fenced-in area on the side of the business on Aug. 13. They are a John Deere 997 Z-Track zero turn mower valued at $18,000 and a John Deere 930M Z-Track zero turn mower valued at $9,000.
The mowers were located inside the perimeter of a wooden fence surrounding the building.
• The morning of Aug. 14 it was discovered that someone entered the storage shed of a church off Domingo Drive by cutting and removing a lock. A red 2009 Cub Cadet riding lawn mower, valued at $3,000, was stolen.
• Deputies responded to a disturbance at a lot off U.S.-17A near Moncks Corner and began checking all occupants of the residence for warrants through central dispatch. They discovered one subject, a 45-year-old man from North Charleston with an Otranto Road address that had warrants for failing to pay child support. The suspect fled on foot in an attempt to elude being captured.
A deputy caught the suspect as he attempted to crawl under a trailer. He was placed under arrest and taken to the detention center, where he was served warrants for failing to comply with a family court order, for failure to pay support and for evading arrest.
• A Promise Lane resident told a deputy that his air conditioning unit had been removed from the rear of his residence without his consent or permission on Aug. 8. The air conditioner is valued at $1,000.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says North Korea's government should be focused on the well-being of its citizens, not on "celebrity sporting events" to entertain the country's elite.
White House spokesman Jay Carney made the comments in response to a question about ex-NBA star Dennis Rodman's recent visit to North Korea. Rodman watched a basketball game with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Upon his return to the U.S., Rodman said Kim wants President Barack Obama to call him. Carney says the U.S. already has direct channels of communication to North Korea's government and those are the channels it will continue to use.

Quarterback Robert Griffin III hands off to running back Alfred Morris in a game this season for the Washington Redskins. The Detroit Lions face Washington on Sunday.
- Filed Under
Rocky McIntosh spent the first six years of his NFL career in Washington, when he hardly heard a peep from people complaining about his team's Redskins nickname.
Now in his eighth season, and first with the Detroit Lions, McIntosh is doing his best to avoid a debate that has grown heated enough to involve Congress.
"When you talk to anybody in Washington, they recognize themselves as 'Skins and that's just everybody around there," McIntosh said. "It's going to be hard for them to take that away." ...

Republicans are trying to find their way in the wake of their second consecutive presidential defeat and immediately they take advantage of the opportunity: Marco Rubio, chosen to respond to Obama's State of the Union address, decides Tupac is not a political action committee. Plus: Karl Rove's group plays sides in GOP primaries, and we remember Ed Koch.

The Federal Maritime Commission found the Northwest Seaport Alliance is not likely to reduce competition or result in an unreasonable increase in cost or reduction in service.

More 'inclusive' health services needed for LGB people with substance addiction
Lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) people are often unable to get the right support for substance use as health services are not set up to meet their specific needs. A five-year study into drug and alcohol use among LGB people in England found they are seven times more likely to take illegal drugs compared to the general population, and twice as likely to binge drink.

Coffin of homeless man who died in storm to be carried through town
Posted: November 30, 2012|
The coffin of a homeless man who is thought to have died of hypothermia in a freezing hail storm is to be carried aloft through a Westcountry town to highlight the plight of rough sleepers.
Michael Gething's funeral cortege will pass through Totnes next month after as many as five homeless people were feared to have perished outdoors since last Christmas.
Friends of the 41-year-old, who was found dead in his sleeping bag beside the town's Methodist church earlier this month, want to prick the conscience of a community which is famed for its alternative ethos.
Graham Walker, a Big Issue seller who lived on the streets for 30 years, is behind the procession, and hopes to encourage small communities to look after their own street people rather than force them to move to "epicentres" of homelessness such as Plymouth, Exeter and Taunton.
Mr Walker, 58, also plans to hold a two-day vigil, sleeping rough, before the funeral on December 6. He is angry that a town with a reputation for attracting "imports" – who he describes as "fluffy" and "awash with cash" – was able to mobilise massive support to resist a branch of Costa coffee but not to provide suitable facilities for the homeless.
He said: "We should look after our own in small communities – but there are no facilities.
"So they are forced to enter a lion's den where they encounter hardened street people with drug and alcohol problems.
"Everybody here has been focused on the Costa Coffee campaign instead of the guy who has died across the street."
At least three men are said to have died in the past year: Gary Williams, Andrew Day and most recently Mr Gething.
Peter Dunn, co-ordinator of the street pastors, said the town was divided between those with "a lot of heart" for the homeless and others who think helping them encourages more street people to make their home there.
He pointed out that the nearest hostel was in Dartmouth and said the council "could do more" to help by providing a supervised place for people.
"There are actually not that many homeless people sleeping in the town but in the surrounding countryside there are probably up to 20, sleeping in laybys, vans and makeshift tents," he added.
South Hams council said Mr Gething had been offered sheltered accommodation in Dartmouth, but had not taken up the offer.
A spokesman said efforts were underway to address the homelessness problem in Totnes, adding that there was a scheme to offer shelter when the temperature dropped below zero for three nights.
The body of Mr Gething, who had been homeless since the age of 18, will be carried up Fore Street and through Totnes's famous archway.
A small service will be held at the civic square, followed by a burial at Follaton cemetery.
Rupert Callendar, whose Green Funeral Company is providing the cardboard coffin, said: "I was really shocked to find that so many had died in the past year – some say three but it may be as many as five."

10 Standards to Assess Your Fitness Level
By: Adam Campbell
- Overview
- Bench 1.5 Times Your Body Weight
- Run 1.5 Miles in 10 Minutes
- Touch the Rim
- Leg-Press 2.25 Times Your Weight
- Swim 700 Yards in 12 Minutes
- Do 40 Pushups
- Measure Up
- Run 300 Yards Sub 1 Minute
- Touch Your Toes
- Toss a Basketball 75 Feet Kneeling
More Fitness Lists
Run 1.5 Miles in 10 Minutes
Breaking the 10-minute mark for a mile and a half isn't just a sign that you can outrun the feds. It's also an indicator of peak aerobic capacity—your body's ability to deliver oxygen to your working muscles. Regular aerobic exercise lowers your cholesterol and helps keep your body fat low—both of which significantly decrease your risk of heart disease.
The Test: Run 1 1/2 miles on a flat path as fast as you can.
The Scorecard:
12 minutes or more: Slow
Between 10 and 12 minutes: Ordinary
10 minutes or less: Endurance excellence
Air Out Your Aerobic Ability: To build aerobic capacity, you need to run far. But you also need to run fast, says Barrie Shepley, C.S.C.S., Canadian Olympic triathlon coach and president of Personal Best Health and Performance. Follow Shepley's plan for 6 to 10 weeks and you'll increase your endurance about 30 percent.
Perform a 40- to 60-minute run on Saturday at a pace just slow enough that you never feel winded. (Walk if you need to.)
On Tuesday, do four to six half-mile intervals at your goal pace for the mile-and-a-half run. (If your goal is 10 minutes, run each interval in 3 minutes, 20 seconds.) Rest for the same amount of time as each interval takes.
On Thursday, perform four to six uphill runs at a moderate pace, with each lasting about 90 seconds, and take about 2 minutes' rest after each interval. After your last interval, jog for 10 to 15 minutes at an easy pace.
Bonus Tip: Train like Roger Bannister. That is, split the distance into four 600-yard intervals and run them at a pace that's about 10 percent faster than your 11/2-mile pace, resting 1 minute after each. Bannister used this method to train for the first sub-4-minute mile.

Why any drummer would think that fills every 4 or 8, turning the beat around,..fancy hihat shit,...is cool in pop/rock stuff..is,..beyond me....
But you do,...I know you're out there guys,...LOL!!
Sadly, more than one might think. But it's cool because the ones who overplay and think music is not about music at all but about drumming, rarely work at a pro level. Leaving more gigs for the mature players.
There is nothing more annoying than trying to solo or sing with that shit in the way.
Trust me,..your band feels this way,..they just won't tell you because drummers are rarer than you think.
You always know when a drummer has chops,...they can't help it....lol
It is a nightmare! And it happens too often. The better drummers know their chops are not as important as the music. I like to use a local Sydney drummer who tries to never show the extent of his chops. If the music requires loads of technique fair enough. The Beatles music did not require fusion drumming, and existed before fusion.
Ringo NEVER overplayed and I think most drummers miss that concept.
This is a subject that has been coming up here recently.
Nice to read another musicians thoughts.

WVU slams Herd, 69-34
MORGANTOWN — The Friends of Coal Bowl football game was anything but friendly for Marshall University on Saturday at Milan Puskar Stadium.
No. 11 West Virginia racked up 655 yards of offense and had eight drives of 60 or more yards in a resounding 69-34 win over the Thundering Herd in front of 59,120 fans.
West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith showed exactly why he's a Heisman Trophy candidate.
Smith finished with as many touchdown passes (four) as incompletions, going 33-of-37 for 340 yards while adding 65 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
In all, West Virginia (1-0) had eight touchdown drives of 60 yards or more in the contest as Marshall (0-1) couldn't stop the Mountaineers on the ground or through the air. The Mountaineers took a commanding 34-10 lead into the halftime locker room.
West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen is well-known for his aerial attack, but it was the ground game that got the Mountaineers rolling early in this one.
Led by Shawne Alston, the Mountaineers rushed for 314 yards in the game, including 223 in the first half, to run away from the Herd. Alston finished with 123 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries.
Marshall's offense was able to move the ball, finishing with 545 yards. Rakeem Cato threw for a career-high 413 yards and two touchdowns on 38-of-54 passing.
Going into the contest, the Herd knew it needed to force the Mountaineers to commit turnovers, but was unable to do so. On two separate occasions, West Virginia put the ball on the ground at the feet of Marshall players, but was able to retain possession.
West Virginia jumped to a quick 13-0 lead after just 10 minutes.
Smith connected with Stedman Bailey on a 32-yard touchdown pass to open the scoring before engineering a 67-yard drive that culminated with Shawne Alston's 3-yard touchdown run following a Marshall three-and-out.
The Herd seized a little momentum after stopping Smith on a fourth-and-goal opportunity, then turning it into a 98-yard scoring drive, capped by Travon Van's 4-yard touchdown run.
Van's score trimmed the deficit to 13-7, but the momentum was short-lived as Andrew Buie ripped off consecutive runs of 18 and 24 with the latter going into the end zone to push the lead back to two scores.
Following a 35-yard field goal by Marshall's Justin Haig, West Virginia scored 21 unanswered points to put the game out of reach.
Marshall will play is first home game at 7 p.m., Saturday, against Western Carolina.

FARGO, N.D. Its a classic case of what has been an unstoppable force against an immovable object.
The challenge for Woffords triple-option offense in the Football Championship Subdivision quarterfinals is to run up against a defense that has been a human version of a brick wall.
North Dakota State (11-1) leads the country in fewest rushing yards allowed, only 63.2 per game and 2.3 per carry. Wofford (9-3), meanwhile, ranks second nationally with 357 yards per game.
Those two sides will clash at 2 p.m. Central today in Fargo, with the winner advancing to the semifinals next week. The defending FCS champion Bison are top-ranked and seeded No. 1 overall in the playoffs.
They do a great job of stopping the run, said Wofford running back Eric Breitenstein, who has rushed for 1,900 yards this season and is one of three finalists for the Walter Payton Award given to the best offensive player in FCS. Well have our work cut out for us.
NDSU has allowed more than 90 yards in a game only twice this season 127 by Missouri State and 111 by Illinois State. Four times the Bison have held their opponent to fewer than 50 yards.
Southern Illinois had 11 yards on 17 rushes. South Dakota had 17 yards on 27 carries and then improved to 21 yards on 23 attempts in the rematch. South Dakota State had 21 yards on 23 attempts. Even Colorado State of the Football Bowl Subdivision Mountain West Conference struggled to run the ball against NDSU, managing only 72 yards on 24 tries in a 22-7 loss.
They are pretty stout on defense, Wofford wide receiver Jeff Ashley said. They are very impressive. Thats the main reason they are where they are.
But what about facing a triple-option team? The Terriers usually believe they have an advantage in the playoffs because most teams havent faced that sort of offense. Last week, Wofford ran for 454 yards against New Hampshire. In the previous playoff game, last year against Northern Iowa, the Terriers ran for 457.
NDSU doesnt see the option much, either, but shut it down in a 35-7 win against Georgia Southern in the FCS semifinals. The Eagles ran for 186 yards, but that was about half their average.
Weve seen them against Georgia Southern and they stopped Georgia Southern, Wofford head coach Mike Ayers said. They did a great job. Weve very similar, but we have a few small differences and, hopefully, we learned from watching that.
New Hampshire had an open date prior to playing Wofford and still allowed Breitenstein to rush for 237 yards and three touchdowns. And he didnt play much in the second half.
Thank God we had two weeks (to prepare), Wildcats head coach Sean McDonnell said afterward. If we had only three days, (Breitenstein) might have had a little bit more.
Ayers said he believes that NDSU, even with only a week to get ready, will be a much stiffer test for the Terriers.
North Dakota State is going to have a plan, Ayers said. They are very well-coached and have some great players. The first thing we have to do is get a first down. Then we take it from there. We just need to stay on schedule. If we can just get 31/2 yards every time, we move the sticks.

I want to buy external speakers & need advice
I'm a new iMac user and want to buy speakers to use when I have a big party. What should I buy or do? Should I run my iMac speaker through my stereo or buy amplified external speakers? Any advice would be welcome.
A lot depends on how loud you want your music to be. If you want LOUD, you might be best to run it through your stereo. I bought a set of Dell A525s on eBay and they sound great and have good volume... but probably not enough for party music.
yeah, just run it through a stereo. all you'd need is a male 1/8" to male stereo RCA plug adapter. you can get those anywhere.
keep the mac at about 2/3 volume and then adjust the stereo.
Great advice eric. As with all things electronic, never drive the Mac or the stereo to the max. You should arrange it so that both the Mac and the stereo are well below their maximum volume. Once an amplifier of any sort gets near the max, distortion starts to happen quickly!
...not to mention blowing the speakers!! school boy error... will not look cool infront of party guests!! ;D

GPU PhysX in Metro: Last Light
Metro: Last Light, a post-apocalyptic first person shooter with survival horror elements, is joining the family of PhysX enabled titles by offering a support for GPU accelerated physics effects.
First game in the series ' Metro 2033 ' was also featuring a GPU PhysX content, however, it was limited to basic particle effects.
Was the Last Light able to improve the results of its predecessor? Let's find out.
QUANTITY8/10GPU PhysX effects (called 'Advanced PhysX' in the game) in Metro: Last Light can be arranged into two basic categories ' physically simulated particles, such as debris and chunks, and SPH based smoke and fog simulation.
In turn, particle effects include:
All the particle effects, including area specific ones, are distributed properly along the course of the game's story and can be encountered on almost every level of the Metro.
It is also worth noticing, that particle debris can also interact with game characters and are affected by Force Fields (grenade explosion, for example, repels nearby particles).
Simulated smoke and fog are based on Smoothed Particles Hydrodynamics (SPH) approach, previously used in games like Batman: Arkham City/Asylum or Mafia 2.
Once again, SPH based effects can be found in quite a few places of the game. They also support interaction with player and NPC characters ' throwing a grenade into a callow will produce a clear spot, which will be filled with fog particles after a short period of time.
At this point, one might ask ' 'Hey ! But what about all cool physical cloth I saw in the trailers?'.
Situation with the cloth in Metro: Last Light is pretty interesting: despite common believe, majority of the cloth objects in the game are using pre-computed animation and not real-time cloth simulation.
There is a good reasoning behind it (art decision to have similarly looking cloth an PC and consoles, performance consideration, etc), but still ' if real PhysX cloth simulation would have been utilized in such cases, it would be very impressive, otherwise it is just.. normal.
However, the game also includes a good portion of more simplistic, but actual physically simulated cloth pieces, in a form of various banners and drapes (running on CPU when advanced physics is disabled).
Unfortunately, 'Advanced PhysX' option has a minimal impact on the level of cloth simulation in Metro: Last Light ' the amount of cloth objects or their resolution is equal to standard CPU simulation, cloth even does not tear from gunfire ' instead, 'advanced' simulation adds several minor features, such as interaction with force fields (shockwaves) and monster characters.
Simply put ' PhysX cloth in Metro lags behind other games, such as Borderlands 2 or even Mirror's Edge.
In addition, some other interesting and potentially usable physics effects, such as fluid simulation (in a form of a sprinkling water) or turbulence particles have not found their way into the Last Light.
QUALITY7/10Particle effect in Metro: Last Lights are done accurately, in particular, we find physically simulated sparks being the most immersive ones, as they are looking vivid and natural at the same time against dark and gloomy backgrounds of the game.
Other particle debris, on other hand, are lacking a little portion of visual diversity (all mesh debris within a single emitted 'pack' are looking almost identical), and are colliding selectively with objects in the scene, but otherwise they look and feel pretty decent.
SPH smoke and fog are made to a high standard and their visual appearance is corresponding properly with the given environment. Some of the SPH usage cases are even a bit.. unusual.
However, in certain areas SPH simulation lacks proper detalization ' due to the lower amount of simulated particles, it is hard see its reaction, unless a large force, such as explosion, is applied.
IMMERSION8/10Speaking of GPU PhysX effects, we always mention the factor of personal taste ' you either can like them or not. But we think that Metro: Last Light will be able to please almost everyone.
Yes, PhysX effects in the game are not as rich or remarkable as in other GPU PhysX titles, they won't make you drop your jaw or even raise your eyebrows, but at the same time, they don't feel overdone or exaggerated.
Advanced PhysX effects are nice and organic enhancement for the visual look of the game, a good addition to the immersion factor, which won't make you run for the new GPU just to see them, but at the same time, won't make you want to turn them off, because you find their look excessive and redundant.
PERFORMANCE7/10Metro: Last Light is using pretty old (but we think also modified) version of PhysX SDK physics engine ' SDK 2.8.3, which is a bit surprising in times of PhysX 3.x based titles. None of the APEX modules are utilized as well.
As in many other games, PhysX SDK integration is present in a form of two layers:
GPU PhysX support can be controlled by a single 'Advanced PhysX' ON/OFF switch.
Performance of the GPU accelerated effects is very decent, especially when you don't overburden your GPU with extreme graphics options, such as high levels of tessellation or SSAA.
At the same time, CPU execution of the extra PhysX effects is unreasonable slow and ineffective (compared to the games like Borderlands 2) ' several grenade explosions or a firefight can drop your framerate down to 10-15 frame per seconds or even lower, while actual amount of simulated particles is not something that CPU cannot handle.
To give you a glimpse on the impact of the Advanced PhysX on the performance, we have decided not to use the built-in benchmark, but actual in game scene in the beginning of the 'Facility' level, filled with shooting, explosions, shattering glass and violent screams.
Testing system: i7 2600K CPU, GTX 580 GPU, 8 GB RAM, Win 7 64-bit | 320.14 GPU Drivers, 9.12.1031 PSS.
In-game settings: 1680Ã?1024, Quality: Very High, Tessellation: High, SSAA: Off.
As you may see, GPU PhysX performance even in such heavy scene is pretty comfortable. During our playthrough of the whole game, we also haven't encountered any noticeable performance drops or slowdowns.
At the same time, CPU execution of the extra effects is the disaster. Game can easily become a slideshow even with a minimum amount of the PhysX particles on the screen. If you don't have the NVIDIA GPU ' leave the Advanced PhysX option disabled.
However, users of Hybrid PhysX configurations will be pleased ' Metro: Last Light works fine with AMD+NV systems, with minimum amount of tweaking and manipulations with PhysX .dlls.
TOTAL7.5/10Metro: Last Light is a great and interesting game, with a bit subtle, but otherwise very nice and natural GPU PhysX effects.
We highly recommend not to miss this title.

Wanderlei Silva Won't Fight Sonnen Without PPV Points, Dana White Not Happy
We recently discovered that UFC President Dana White had plans for Sonnen vs. Silva to go down at UFC 167.
Wanderlei Silva is apparently down for the scrap, but only if he receives additional compensation in the form of pay-per-view buy points.
"[Silva] said he won't fight him unless he gets PPV [points]" White told MMAFighting.com, adding "so I guess he's gonna retire."
When asked who Sonnen would fight next the UFC Boss replied, "We will figure it out."
It was after Sonnen's victory over Shogun Rua last weekend that he called out Wanderlei on national television. "Now, right here on the UFC's new home, FOX Sports 1, Wanderlei Silva, six feet tall, 205 pounds, boy until I met you, I didn't know they stacked crap that high," stated Sonnen.
With the hype machine behind the matchup it seemed like a foregone conclusion, but it appears as if White will not give in to Silva's demands.

Oh Snap! – "[Silva] said he won't fight him unless he gets PPV [points]" White told MMAFighting.com, adding "so I guess he's gonna retire." – DW is putting the pressure on The W. Silva. Retirment!!! Yah Silva will fold. Let's see this fight now.
Silva doesnt want the fight to happen, 99 times out of 100 he loses, he probably knows Dana prob wont give him the PPV points, he certainly doesnt deserve it anymore, hes not the man he used to be.
Dana is such a cheap mofo. Just give Wanderlei what he asks for and let the axe murder sonnen the clown, live on PPV
I don't blame Wand. He has been a warrior all of his career. Sonnen and others that are DANA'S boys get handed big fights left and right. You can't blame Wand for wanting to get paid. He has earned it . Nobody can take that away from him
One I find it funny how you think Wand is a big fight, two…Dana cheap for not paying Wand is just saying he wants the buys cause he's scared of sonnen and knows Dana don't cave
Oh boy that's right on the button….ha ha OMG
to riches! GSP is headlining, so it's expected to sell a million PPVs. Plus, Rory and Lawler are on that main card also. It really doesn't need Chael/Wandy to sell PPVs. Dana knows this. It's purely business and has nothing to do about disrespecting Wandy's MMA legacy. Besides, Wandy's best days were in Pride and has a UFC record below .500. I wouldn't reward Wandy for a sub .500 record.
You Sir are correct!!! But I can't blame him for trying to make the most of possibly his last fight in the UFC maybe?, maybe ever?
I rather see Sonnen put another nail in Mashidas coffin, while hyping the fight questioning LM urine sampling!
Sonnen gets it why shouldn't Wandy get some too?
Dana White is cheap as fuck! MMA fighters are so underpaid its crazy, and he wouldn't even give Wanderlei ppv points how fucked up. Even though Chael probably gonna dry hump him for like 15 minutes he still has a punchers chance!
Let's just say White gave Wanderlei just 1% of the PPV (very simple version). With expected sales of 1,000,000 at $55, that one percent turns into over half a million $$$ for Wanderlei!
The precedence set for other fighters would be mind numbing for the UFC, and for a fighter that has won less than 50% of the time in the Octagon. Give Overeem money for his accomplishments in K-1. Pay James Toney for his boxing career.
The UFC is a business first. And if the fighters or fans don't like it, they can take their business elsewhere. This is America, afterall.
Point still remains MMA fighters are underpaid… Champion boxers make 20 – 30 mil. a fight… UFC Champions like 300k… its sad really.
…the ones complaining are the ones released from the UFC. Haven't heard one UFC champion complain about pay. Granted, fighter pay in MMA is low, but the fighters still train, fighters in other organization still want to be in the UFC, FANS STILL PAY FOR PPVs, tickets, and all the other things related to income for the UFC (souvenirs, video games, etc ). Fans are quick to complain, but still show up to watch the fights. Go figure.
I remember Rampage complaining and Tito Ortiz. 300k is a lot of money so I probably wouldn't complain either, but in comparison to other combat sports it's underpaid!
u get paid exactly what you're worth in this world. that goes for everybody. if u dont like it, quit complaining and get up off ur whiny asss and go make yourself worth more.
it's as simple as that. crybaby asss b*tches "waaaahhhh i deserve more money" "waaaahhh im underpaid" …..how bout this…….if u dont like what the ufc is paying u….quit! that's the greatest part about this issue! slavery has been abolished! u dont have to work for the ufc if u dont like what they're paying u! u can quit and go get a job that pays u what u feel u are worth! yay! wait…..what? u cant get another job that pays u as much as the ufc is paying u? oh. well then. i see we have a problem here.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The world turned its back on the Jews of Europe during the Nazi Holocaust. Many of those who miraculously survived became a part of a reborn Jewish state. But the ghosts of their horrific past linger, and far too many are living out their last days in poverty and loneliness.
Israel Today is proud to be among those providing physical aid, as well as emotional and spiritual comfort, to Israel's Holocaust survivors.
But, we need your help!
How special it is to inform these precious souls that it is thanks to the kind donations of Christians that we are able to provide aid and comfort, when so many of them have been left scarred by their treatment at the hands of supposedly "Christian" nations.
We'll supply a Holocaust survivor with several gift coupons that can be cashed in a number of Israeli supermarkets.
Passover is coming and still there are many Holocaust survivors who can't afford to buy food for the holiday.

P. K. Gupta FNA, FNASc, FNAAS, FASc
Hony Emeritus Prof & NASI Senior Scientist
Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding
Ch. Charan Singh University
Telefax: +91-121-2768195 (Lab.)
Tel. +91-121-2762505 (Res.)
E-mail: email@example.com
Professor PK Gupta was born in Saharanpur, UP on December 14, 1936 and had his early education there. Later, he completed his BSc (DAV College Muzaffarnagar) and MSc (Meerut College, Meerut) from Agra University, standing First in order of merit among MSc Botany students of Agra University (1958). He started his teaching/ research career at Meerut College during 1958-59, followed by one year teaching assignment at DAV College Muzaffarnagar during 1959-60, and later served as a lecturer at Gorakhpur University for 9 years (1960-69). During this period, he was also on leave to avail Commonwealth Scholarship in Canada (1964-67) for completing his PhD degree in the subject of 'wheat cytogenetics' at the University of Manitoba. After returning from Canada in 1967, he served again at Gorakhpur University for two years before joining Meerut University in July 1969, where he continued for the remaining part of his life. He served there first as Reader (1969-76) and then as Professor (Department of Agricultural Botany, now Department of genetics & Plant Breeding) & Dean (Faculty of Agriculture) till his retirement in December 1996. During his stay at Meerut, for the purpose of advanced research and for participation in international symposia and conferences, he traveled world-wide in different countries (e.g., Canada, USA, Mexico, UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Syria, Australia, Japan, Thailand, China, Australia, etc.). After his retirement from active service in 1996-97, he continued working at Meerut University (now known as CCS University) in various capacities (CSIR Emeritus Scientist, 1967-2002; UGC Emeritus fellow 2002-2003; INSA Senior Scientist 2003-2006; INSA Hony. Scientist 2007-2010; NASI Senior Scientist, 2010-Contd). The university also appointed him Hony. Emeritus Professor for life to allow him continue working in this university for the rest of his life. During his long academic career of more than 50 years, he also served as an expert on various academic bodies/committees of funding agencies including DST, DBT, UGC, ICAR, and CSIR. During his active teaching/research career, Professor Gupta successfully completed a large number of research projects funded by various funding agencies, leading to supervision of more than 75 PhD students and publication of more than 350 research papers in diverse areas of genetics in Indian and foreign journals of repute. His research interests involved almost all areas of plant genetics and plant breeding including cytogenetics, biometrical genetics, mutation research, quantitative genetics, molecular marker technology, crop biotechnology, etc. He has also written more than a dozen text books on genetics and biotechnology for university students, which are widely read. He also edited a number of books and served on the editorial board of many journals. He is a member of about two dozen scientific bodies in India and abroad, and is a fellow of all the national Academies in the area of Science and Agriculture (FNA, FNASc, FASc, FNAAS). He also earned various academic awards too many to be enumerated (including the prestigious Birbal Sahni Gold Medal of the Indian Botanical Society).

I was riding tonight and he had been really resistant to bending and kept trying to cut corners. I tried (as I'd been trying the whole time I'd been riding) to get him back over to the rail with leg pressure and reins, and finally when he dropped in on a corner I gave him a fairly big kick with my inside leg, and he let out a little squeal. Quiet, but I'm pretty sure it was a squeal. I wasn't wearing spurs and was riding in sneakers, plus my "big kicks" are pretty mild. There's no way it should have hurt him.
So my question is do you think there's something wrong with him that's giving him pain in his barrel, or might he have squealed in bratty protest? I got off and felt his sides and he didn't react. I've never heard a horse squeal like that in reaction to anything done by a person, and I felt really awful. :(
(PS, I'm having a vet come out for a checkup next week anyway, but I wanted to see what you all thought because if it seems like there might be something wrong I won't ride him until he sees the vet)
