Tennis: Martin County boys extend district title streak to a perfect 10
Tigers, Jensen Beach girls split doubles finals
STUART — Martin County's boys tennis team overcame blistering heat and tough opponents Wednesday to win both doubles finals in the District 15-3A tournament and clinch their 10th consecutive district championship.
"I was nervous, absolutely," Martin County coach Skip Morgan said. "The kids weren't. They were awesome. They have so much heart and faith in themselves."
Needing just one win at Halpatiokee Regional Park to turn back Olympic Heights, Martin County got two — and both were hard-earned.
Ryan Kealy and J.J. Sanguily defeated Jensen Beach's Brandon Armstrong and Alec Ellis 6-3, 7-5 at No. 2 while Michael Rinaldi and Logan Walker overcame a one-set deficit to beat Olympic Heights' Dylan Gunning and Reese Dunlop 4-6, 6-1, 7-5 at No. 1.
Martin County finished with 24 points. Olympic Heights had 21.
Sanguily's emphatic forehand at the net capped the win at No. 2.
Rinaldi and Walker fell behind 5-4 in the third set before rallying again, settling the issue on the third match point.
"Once it was 5-all, I was pretty confident," Rinaldi said.
Martin County's girls, who clinched their sixth consecutive title Tuesday, split a pair of three-set doubles finals with tournament runner-up Jensen Beach.
Chloe Hardin and Jennifer Rempis won 4-6, 7-6 (7-3), 6-2 over Martin County's Stephanie Pompa and Julia Cusamano at No. 2.
The back-and-forth No. 1 final lasted nearly an exhausting three hours before Martin County's Hanna Slutsky and Melany Frehafer topped Jensen Beach's Jordan Rucks and Stella Fedele 4-6, 7-6 (7-2), 7-5 to earn a ticket to state.
"They're a tough team," Slutsky said. "They didn't give up. They didn't let us in on any points. They kept fighting just as hard as we did. It could have gone either way."
"It came down to the last couple of points," Jensen Beach coach Monica Pool added.
Martin County had a 26-20 edge over Jensen Beach in the team standings, but regional semifinal wins by both teams Tuesday would set up a rematch two days later for a trip to state.
"That's what we hope," said Pool, who has no seniors in the lineup. "We have to get through Tuesday and see Martin County again (next) Thursday."

This method is the simplest, and does the job for most beer styles. All of the crushed malt is mixed (infused) with hot water to achieve a mash temperature of 150-158F, depending on the style of beer being made. The infusion water temperature varies with the water-to-grain ratio being used for the mash, but generally the initial "strike water" temperature is 10-15·°F above the target mash temperature. The equation is listed below in the section, "Calculations for Infusions." The mash should be held at the saccharification temperature for about an hour, hopefully losing no more than a couple degrees. The mash temperature can be maintained by placing the mash tun in a warm oven, an insulated box or by adding heat from the stove. The goal is to achieve a steady temperature.
One of the best ways to maintain the mash temperature is to use an ice chest or picnic cooler as the mash tun. This is the method I recommend throughout the rest of this section of the book. Instructions for building a picnic cooler mash/lauter tun are given in Appendix D.
If the initial infusion of water does not achieve the desired temperature, you can add more hot water according to the infusion calculations.

Post-match quotes
Wisconsin head coach Pete Waite
Opening statement: "I give credit to Penn State, they are a very good team. They do a lot of things well in every aspect of the game and unfortunately I didn't think we played our best ball at times out there. At times, our ball handling was not as sharp as it was Friday night and that took us out of our offense that we like to run. I think overall when we look at the three sets, we improved our points in each one, but we still never really got our engines going and play the way we think we can."
On what he took away from today's match: "I think we have to learn that we can't give them points because of the uniform they are wearing. We still have to play our game on our side of the net well. That's the thing about our sport. When it's on your side, you can make good quality plays and I think if we do that, then we're in the match with them. At times that yes, they did some great things, but other times it was more our side of the net, we were making some errors that made the game easier for them."
On the team's demeanor heading into today's match: "I'd say we were hesitant at times. You can't be that way in any sport. You have to be aggressive and we talked about doing that in every aspect, serving tough and passing well, attacking the block and not avoiding the block. All those things come into play in a match like this so there can't be any hint of hesitation on the team and we did see that some."
On what the team needs to work on for Illinois: "I think we've got a stretch here of matches where there are some very good teams that we are playing. We have to stay super aggressive and go after them because our backs are against the wall. We have to fight to beat them. We can't just rest and relax or be cautious with anything we do. We have to make quality touches with everything we do. It can't be anything that's average to compete with these teams. Every pass needs to be solid. We can't break down and being in out of system plays on a regular basis. They are totally capable of it and we've seen them do it, but that's what they learn from this. They don't get points for what jersey they are wearing, you need to make them earn points and then we'll be in these matches and keep going because they Big Ten is tough and we want to get those wins."
Dominique Thompson
On anticipating playing Penn State for the first time: "For me it was really exiting. I knew that we had been practicing and we know we can measure up to them. I was really excited to play them."
On playing Penn State for the first time: "They are just another team. I think we did play timid like Pete had said and we need to treat them just like any other team, no matter what name is on their jersey."
Allison Wack
On Penn State winning long rallies: "It's for sure hard to play against a scrappy team. It makes the hitter think about hitting a different shot or do something different to throw them off. It seemed like some balls were down, but they were there and they are a super scrappy team. I think the biggest part is just staying confident as a hitter and going after it and not being timid."
On why Penn State is so good: "I think they have some really athletic girls on the team that just make plays you don't necessarily practice against or see very often. I think their best thing is just that they are a super confident team. We were shaking them a couple times, but they came back, they were swinging hard and they never got really timid and I think that's something we did when they put pressure on us.
Kim Kuzma
On how the team can get back on course: "We always watch film on Monday and see what we can do better and what we did do well. I think a lot of it is watching film and knowing that we can play better. Obviously, this wasn't our best match. We played much better on Friday, I played a lot better on Friday. A lot of it is just coming into the match ready to play whoever it is. Not just because it's Illinois and they're great, but being ready to play because we want to win. I'm sure it's going to be a lot of ball handling and just going after all the stuff we really do and even the easy things too that we need to work on. Just getting ready for a team that's tough but a team that we can play against."

Banking: UK Home Loans guarantee scheme - an accident waiting to happen
15. October 2013
Pay attention: when I told you in 2006 that all the signs were present for a US housing crisis that would engulf the world in a financial crisis, you didn't listen. When I told you in 2007 that the crisis was happening and organised a conference to discuss strategies to prepare for and manage it, you didn't listen and you didn't come to the conference. If you were invited as a speaker, you denied there was a problem and declined to speak.
So, listen now: the next financial crisis might not engulf the world but it's going to cause shock-waves that will unsettle both money and stock markets around the globe. And it's got nothing to do with whether the USA government shuts down in a few hours. And the scheme that will cause it started within the past few days.

A federal court decision has spurred Xcel Energy to rethink its initial decision to raise gas rates for its residential customer base.
The decision, which pertains to the delay of a costly new environmental regulation, spurred the decision by Xcel.
The update, if it had gone into effect, would have added $6.30 or seven percent, to a typical winter residential bill of 1,000 kilowatt-hours in Texas. Customers in New Mexico eventually would have seen higher fuel costs because customers in both states share the same power generation system.

Where Have We Been? Tracing Family through a Timeline of National History
This lesson plan introduces students to examples of how wars and technological developments have impacted the movement of people throughout United States and world history. Students will learn about the effects of political, technological, and geographical issues on the population of one North Carolina community. Listening to oral histories by North Carolinians, students will hear first hand accounts about the impact of wars and road building on Madison County. Using a timeline depicting events and changes over two hundred years of national and regional history, students will begin to connect historical events with the people they impacted. They will then investigate where their families fit into history in both time and place. After researching their family history, students will create a timeline of their own depicting where their relatives were at important junctures in history. Through discussion with classmates, they will consider what was happening throughout the country and the world at different points in time. The oral history, timeline, and discussion exercises will emphasis the personal impact of political and technological change.

Learning Outcomes
Students will recognize how wars and technological developments have impacted the movement of people.
Students will relate history to the personal experiences of one community through listening to oral histories and then consider it in the context of their own family and the families of their classmates.
Students will formulate their own opinions about how communities and families can preserve fundamental values in a world that is rapidly changing.
Curriculum Alignment
North Carolina Standard Course of Study - Grade 5 Social Studies
Goal 4: The learner will trace key developments in United States history and describe their impact on the land and people of the nation and its neighboring countries.
Goal 6: The learner will recognize how technology has influenced change within the United States and other countries in North America.
Materials and Resources
Technology Resources
Teachers should review the timeline and listen to the oral history excerpts.
Review with students the ways in which one western North Carolina community has changed since the arrival of its first white settlers in 1784 to the start of the 21st century:
Activity One: An Historical Overview
Using the electronic timeline or photocopied timelines lead a class discussion about changes that have occurred throughout the decades:
In preparation for the assignment, ask students to research information about the movement of their own family. Ask them to trace one limb of their family tree back one hundred years or as far as they can, collecting information about when and where relatives were as well as what they were doing for 5-10 different years. These dates could represent births, deaths, moves, job changes, military service, etc. Note the wide variety of possible experiences. Some families may not know details about their history, others students may themselves have been born outside of the United States. Each family has an interesting story to tell and the assignment should be adapted to fit their uniqueness.
Activity Two: Listening to the Oral Histories
Review what students already know about connections betweens wars, technological developments, and the movement of people. Ask them to summarize significant shifts throughout history.
Introduce the concept of oral histories, and discuss their value as we study important events. Mention that oral histories provide a chance for the "regular person" to record his or her experiences, not just the well-known or famous people often recorded in written history. More resources about oral histories are provided in Supplemental Information.
Hand out transcripts of the oral histories, and ask students as they listen to take notes on the speaker's experiences and observations.
Play the first oral history excerpt, from Former North Carolina Senator Lauch Faircloth and allow students a minute or two to record their thoughts.
Play the second oral history excerpt, from Jerry Plemmons and again allow time for students to record their thoughts.
Play the third oral history excerpt, from Jerry Plemmons and allow time for students to record their thoughts.
Play the fourth oral history excerpt, from Sam Parker and allow time for students to record their thoughts.
Play the fifth oral history excerpt, from Taylor Barnhill and allow time for students to record their thoughts.
Play the sixth oral history excerpt, from Stan Hyatt and allow time for taking notes.
Follow up with discussion questions:
Timeline Assignment:
Create a timeline that includes stories from your family history interspersed with major events in United States and world history. Begin, by tracing one limb of your family tree back one hundred years or as far as you can. Collecting information about when and where your relatives were as well as what they were doing for 5-10 different years. Starting with the earliest year you have information about and ending with this year, create 5-10 markers of significant years in your family history. These markers could represent births, deaths, moves, job changes, military service, etc. Next, research what historical events were happing around the same time and make markers for them as well. Your teacher and library media specialist can help you find this information. Markers can be brief descriptions you have written or pictures you have labeled. All markers should include a title and a year. Reflect on the personal experiences of your relatives and the time periods they lived/live in. Using paper clips hang your markers from earliest to most recent along a string.
Wrap-up discussion:
Ask students to share stories about their own family within the context of historical events.
Recalling the stories form the oral histories, ask students if they think their family members got cars and electricity before or after the people in Madison County. Factors such as where they were living and working are likely to have influenced when they first bought a car, got electricity, or used a telephone.
Ask students about their personal reactions to seeing their family history intertwined with major events in United States and world history?
Ask students to discuss their own opinions about how communities and families can preserve fundamental values in a world that is so rapidly changing.

Nimoy, Wozniak to mind-meld on technology at conference
updated 02:10 am EST, Thu January 5, 2012
Fusion-io springs surprise guest at Woz talk
Freaks, geeks, nerds and dorks of all variations may converge upon the Temple nightclub in San Francisco tomorrow evening for an unusual meeting of minds -- Apple co-founder and inventor Steve Wozniak will host a talk at a DEMO conference on technology's past, present and future with special guest Leonard Nimoy, an actor and photographer best known for his role as "Spock" in the Star Trek franchise of TV shows and movies.
Nimoy has addressed the topic of the technological ideas used in Star Trek and how more and more of the concepts are appearing in real-world devices before, and Wozniak is in some way an architect of the mass acceptance of high technology that fuels such innovation. Wozniak is currently serving as Chief Scientist for Fusion-io, a flash-memory technology company and major sponsor of the conference, which is perhaps-ironically entitled DEMO: Enterprise Disruption.
Wozniak has mentioned in previous talks that Star Trek was a favorite TV show of his as a young man. The DEMO conference is a bi-annual event that brings together leading technologists to announce or discuss new projects and developments in electronics and related fields. The conference is not open to the public.
The presentation will be streamed live beginning at 6:30 p.m. Pacific time via venturebeat.com later today. With any luck, the 1986 film Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, which prominently featured technology of the day (including a memorable scene with James Doohan as Scotty attempting to talk to a Macintosh Plus), will get a mention.

NORWOOD St. Lawrence County sheriffs Drug Task Force members charged Cynthia M. Francis, 56, of 287 Cook Road, on Tuesday with third-degree possession of marijuana, a class E felony.
The arrest stems from a federal search warrant conducted at her home Friday morning as a part of the Operation Problem Child investigation into alleged drug trafficking.
During the search, a sheriffs K-9 found an undisclosed amount of marijuana inside a safe.
Ms. Francis was issued an appearance ticket returnable to Stockholm Town Court.
Task force members were assisted by sheriffs deputies, Massena village police and the Department of Homeland Security.

This guy just got his arm snapped but his opponent looks more bummed than he is
I've never snapped anyone's limb before, and frankly I don't know how I would personally react to snapping someone's limb, so I'm not going to judge, but this is one of the most awkward and gentle kimura arm snaps I've ever seen. This guy has his arm violently snap in the very wrong direction and he just immediately accepts it. No one would blame you if you screamed in pain or grimaced in this moment, your arm is dangling, we get it. But this guy just looks at it and kind of sighs. The guy who did the breaking seems more freaked out by the whole situation. Look at this.
Notice the gentle grab of the wrist at :16. Sportsmanship.

What didn't you like about the Bully? I'm going to mount some lightly used Cartels I picked up last season. It'll be the first time I get to use them. My brother has the Republics on his Destroyer & seems to like them. Granted, he's a newbie, with 1 or 2 days under his belt, so I'm not sure I can take his word for it - and he's not yet willing to let me ride his board or borrow his bindings.
As I mentioned above, I learned & have 2 seasons on an older LTD board in 163 & camber. It's pretty stiff & I think a little longer than I should be riding. Having never ridden Reverse Camber or Hybrid, I'm a little nervous...

Winter has been rough near detroit; avg temp around 35-40 deg F and hardly any snow. I have only made it out once this year.
I paid around 440 for the board at a local shop; i am a huge fan of supporting the local retailers in the area.
I feel ya on a rough winter, haha. Normally I'd brag about the crazy warm weather we've had, but I'm not a fan of 80F in January & February. I think it's rained/snowed once or twice at most - and we didn't get much when it did. I haven't been out once yet, but having just healed up from a small hand surgery, I'm trying to get a day or 2 in before I have to have a 3rd surgery... Hopefully it works out for all of us, haha

Blog / The very best Secrets of the very best MLM Earners That You
Saturday, 11 August 2012 at 12:26
Now you will be subjected to some of the best marketing strategies both online and offline used by some of the biggest and most successful network marketers, which convert like wildfire. For offline marketing, FREE SEMINARS work very well. However the seminars should not solely market your primary income opportunity rather, you need to use them to teach marketing strategies that can solve the urgent and basic problems of your prospects i.e. how to generate leads and the way to earn money from their income opportunity. You should always market your primary business opportunity within the back-end. It is important for you to know that the amount of your income is directly proportional to the quality of values that you offer. Therefore, you have to offer values to generate leads. By doing this you are making money from 97% of those that won't join your network marketing business, by recommending affiliate products and most importantly, referring these to My Lead System Pro; our most tested and trusted system that is guaranteed will help them build their business faster.
Use offline classifieds in income newspapers to promote your FREE SEMINARS. Fliers aren't good enough. There touch base is restricted. You may also make use of your business card to promote your values. Try to be obvious and active in each and every business meeting you attended and appear out for chance to make new friends and exchange cards to expand your network.
In online marketing, the techniques are plenty of. I will attempt to highlight a few of the strategies and then expose you to a system which will provide you with use of the best internet marketers and their resources that are employed in the industry. This system will sure assist you to learn each and every little bit of knowledge they know about generating 100+ laser targeted leads daily on complete autopilot. Positioning yourself as a leader who holds the type of values that are mostly sort after and at the same time frame plugging in your team for an invaluable resource vault which will allow you teach them much of your values and winning strategies is a sure way to continue getting your prospects' follower-ship. A few of the online strategies are;
ADWORD: It is virtually impossible to speak about internet marketing without referring to Google's Adword. It is probably the first thing anyone thinks about when they hear 'PPC' so there isn't any wonder it's out there. Those who have not heard about it likely is not active in the internet whatsoever, let alone as a marketer, but when you're still wondering, go to Google, and type in Adword, to discover exactly what it is all about. Now let us discuss it as being an advertising and marketing option for you. First, let us talk about the good part. It enables you to choose a variety of targeting, in the kind of keywords and key phrases you want your leads to appear for; towards the geographical areas you want them to look in. You may also pick the ad frequency, far more of other options, to make certain that you reach precisely the target audience you need to reach. You also need to know concerning the bad some of it. When many people get started doing this marketing technique, they spend lots of money figuring out the things that work, and exactly what does not. Either their ads are not getting clicks at all (meaning back to the drawing board to rewrite them) or they're getting clicks but no sales, or their keywords are not performing because they had hoped. The bottom line is that starting out here's a costly business, which means you may wish to possess a strategy first. (When we're on the topic, allow me to also add that there are companies and people out there who focus on Adwords, which means you do not have to reinvent the wheel here either.) Still, it is always good to understand the fundamentals. The cost of this method, and the like guesswork nature of this type of advertising implies that you need a strategy. In My Lead System Pro, there are plenty of resources on Adword including video lessons, books and community discussion.

FACEBOOK MARKETING: In April 2008, Facebook hit an enormous milestone. It officially swept up with MySpace in terms of unique monthly worldwide visitors. What this means is big marketplace for we. Facebook is among the most effective ways for connecting with people on the web if you know what you are doing. Facebook marketing works like Adwords, the major differences are that the adverts are limited to only Facebook users. That can be a may seem to limit your advertising pool, advertising with Facebook, and other social networking sites, actually lets you target your ads more, which means that you are able to choose the age group, gender, employment information along with other data from the users who'll call at your ads. Since successful optimisation is about targeted advertising, if you know your target market, this is often a useful gizmo.
TWITTER MARKETING: Twitter has been one of the fastest growing websites because the advent of the web. This means that twitter is absolute a goldmine for internet business owners and entrepreneurs. So long as you are offering value, more and more people continues to follow along with you and also re-tweet your posting hence you go viral.
Marketing with video: This is one of the fastest methods for getting indexed on search engines, which is 100% free traffic. However, 90% of internet marketers think that since YouTube is the biggest video hosting site on the internet, that it is the only site. This can be a big mistake. Although, YouTube is definitely the largest video hosting site on the web, but you're leaving 1000s of dollars on the table if you are not implementing strategies that put your videos on other 40+ video hosting sites, social bookmarking sites, podcasts, and blog sites.
BLOGGING: Your site is the central nerve-centre. You must have a professional looking blog to boost your business profit in 100 folds, knowing how to drive traffic to it. This we can treatment for you.
Other online strategies include keyword research, article marketing, web 2.0, optimisation, copy-writing, classified and forums, prospecting and closing. Mastery of those skills and techniques will sure boost your business

Vertical growing means high density growing. In order to get uniform and maximum light, the
plants need to be rotated at least once per week. Verti-Gro® now has a very simple
and economical rotating stack system which uses PVC pipe and a HDPE plastic swivel plate.
The height of the riser is adjustable and the plastic swivel allows rotation of a stack of Verti-Gro® pots at the touch of a finger. Swivel plates are $1.00 each or $0.60
each when ordered with a Verti-Gro® system.
Click on the thumbnails to enlarge
For more product and higher quality in high density crops in
a vertical plane the plants should receive maximum light. Verti-Gro®'s
new rotating stack systems simplifies the rotation of the stacks. Each stack can be rotated with
a finger tip touch so that all plants received equal light. Rotating vertical stacks
are more practical than fixed stacks, or non-rotating stacks because the plants
can be rotated towards the light rather than rotating the lights. Harvesting
is easier and disease control is better. Artificial lighting, such as Sodium
Vapor, Mercury or the new Sulfur gas lights, may now be used much more efficiently
due to the high density of the crops.

Michigan's Child Protection Registry is a free service provided by the State of Michigan and an extra tool for parents to protect their children from unwanted adult solicitations.
By registering, you are prohibiting companies marketing products and services including alcohol, tobacco, gambling, drugs and/or pornography. By stopping this kind of marketing we can cut down on enticements that can cause harm to our children.
Families and households can register their e-mail addresses, cell phone numbers (SMS), and instant messenger IDs at www.ProtectMiChild.com
Schools can register their domain which stops all student, faculty, and administrative e-mails from receiving adult advertisements
Addresses are stored as codes in the registry and as such can never be shared. This ensures that your privacy is never compromised.
Registrations last for three years and you can renew at any time.
How is the registry free for families? Marketers who comply with the Registry laws pay a small fee to the state to remove registered addresses from their advertising lists.
Michigan is only one of two states in the country that provides this service to families.
The Michigan Child Protection Registry went live in 2004 and now over 320,000 email and IM addresses and cell phone numbers are being protected.
The program is administered by the Public Service Commission and enforced in conjunction with the State Attorney General's Office.
There is a 30 day grace period after registering and you can submit a complaint to the state if contact by an adult marketer after that grace period
The Registry is constantly growing each year, but there are still thousands of families and communities in the state that are unaware of this free, state run program. To register you can go to www.ProtectMiChild.com It only takes a few minutes but will give parents an extra piece of mind when working to keep their kids safe online. Parents can also check with their schools to make sure they are signed up on the registry as well.
For more useful tips on how to keep your children safe online follow ProtectMiChild on Facebook.

the new warhammer 40k movie about a bunch of ultramarines heading into what looked like a simple mission.
Posted by CPLAnthony on Dec 22nd, 2010
A WARHAMMER 40,000 MOVIE takes place in the vast, dystopian science fantasy setting of Games Workshop's table-top strategy war game, Warhammer 40,000. Spanning a huge fictional universe, the Imperium of Man – a decentralised but totalitarian interstellar regime - interacts with various factions and races of aliens, including the Tau, the Eldar, the Necrons, the Tyranids and the Orks, battling against the forces of evil, the Daemons of Chaos who live in a parallel dimension, the Warp. Mankind's defences are formed primarily of the Imperial Guard, huge in numbers, and the genetically-enhanced, elite super-warriors, the Space Marines, also known as the Adeptus Astartes. Devotedly loyal to the Emperor and followers of the Codex Astartes (the book of doctrine for all Space Marine chapters), they are the finest and most feared of all fighting forces in the Imperium. With more than a thousand chapters (each of a thousand men) including the Space Wolves, the Blood Angels, the Imperial Fists and the traitorous Chaos Space Marines, each chapter has distinctive characteristics, armour and weaponry: The Ultramarines are considered by many to be the most powerful, the most courageous and the most unswervingly-loyal of all the Space Marine Chapters. Created more than 30 years ago, today Warhammer 40,000 is played in thousands of Games Workshop's hobby centres, schools and clubs around the world, appealing to those that enjoy tactical gameplay as well the skilled painting of miniatures. The universe also is represented in many novels, published by Games Workshop's Black Library, White Dwarf, the monthly magazine, and several licensed board games and video games. ULTRAMARINES: A WARHAMMER 40,000 MOVIE is the first feature-length movie interpretation of the property

It was nice, i rather enjoyed it.
i like it there needs to be another
I resolution is terrable ;P
I just bourght this Movie. ;)
"we march for makrak!" "and we shall know no fear!"
ummmm I may be an Iron Warrior... But its "Macragge" broseph
I have a question why is it that a large vessel like that has only few space marines on board?
That's a damn good point
They have such a huge vessel with little marines inside because when the original legions were separated the ultramarines separated the most into about 23 smaller chapters, causing their ranks to be thinly spread amongst individual chapters in contrast to their original size. This means that they have huge ships that used to house thousands of marines that only carry a handful now.
It is short, but good :) But the marines can quite easily climb on the cliffs faster then they can run, the voices are too quiet compared to the fire, so you must always change your music settings when the battle starts and ends.
But can someone say me, what actually happened with Severus? He was always a Deamon, he was possesed after killing that Deamon, or the Deamon won and took Severus's appearence and infiltrated the Marines?
Also, if he was "Captain", he was in charge of a Company, but in which time this is set? Because now there is one Captain Severus, but he is leader of 1st Company, previously of 2nd. And this one wasnt ever possesed.
well i think the daemon took the captains form after defeating him. im pretty sure it wasnt much of a challenge for the daemon since the captain only had a bolter and he threw his chain sword to proteus. or the captain died on impact.
i thought the daemon died and the captain mutated into a daemon prince, after he died?
The Daemon didnt kill the captain nor did it die. It performed a ritual in order to conceal itself within the flesh of the captain, thus being in control of the captain, so really the captain and the Daemon both died together, or the captain died when the Daemon shed its skin and revealed its true form.
This squad was send alone to be trained to fully join other Brother-Marines. The rest of the Company, 9 squads, were fighting with Tyrranids. And you know, Imperium always make huge things, especially the ships :D
i thank you for your answer.
second question isnt it the job of the apothecary to take the gene seed of the fallen battle brothers why didnt he take the seeds from the fallen Imperial Fists?
maybe there was no point
yeah i re watched it again and messed around with the audio the apothecary said the bodies were decade and there was nothing to save.
Nice, Megavideo freedom.
I dont like this film. it isnt bad, it can´t be bad because its W40k, but thats all, no film art. Like they dont have a scenario, as if it was written in that god damned book and then let a chaos to delete it, so they had to improvise and this is all they came up with.
But do not take this wrong, maybe i have expecting from that film too much.
I watched it on DVD and i found it to be very good, but it should have been longer. Too much was left out.
Kinda cheesy plot twists.
Thank you for linking the movie. It was a good watch. Even if some parts were predictable, it's not often we get to see a Warhammer 40k animated movie, considering they didn't do so well in the past.
This might be just a single step out of many for Games Workshop to allow for more Animations. Warhammer is too damn cool of a universe to have it be restricted. Computer Gaming has made a comeback thanks to Dawn of War, why not bring back animations?
On a side note, Terrence Stamp makes a pretty convincing Captain.
Pretty lousy movie, ok to watch if you are a fan of the universe. I prefer Damnatus over this.
Meh probably gonna suck.
Awesome movie.I really like it.
i was surprised someone told me it had tyranids in it as well - the liar
very nice !
i think u need better hardware for rendering !!!
we all wanna see more .... ;)
so much more !! ^^
greetz & keep on with the good work !
Nice video..the music seems to me from the game "chaos gate". Sry for my bad english (learned it in school 30 years ago). It is possible to see the video in fullscreen?
there is but iv forgoten where
nice movie would've been better if there were more of them
One problem in the text above the movie.... Warhammer 40K, even as Rogue Trader, has only been around for 24 years. Not over 30. Definitely not over 30.
Also, this movie....was surprisingly unfulfilling to watch, but the action scenes made it worth it.
I think it was rather good for a movie of its kind. And not just because of ZOMG SPESS MEHREENS. Certain parts were rather stupid, but it all seemed to work somehow. The writing was somewhat predictable, though, as most of Abnett's work tends to take a similar direction. But at least all the characters were decent...minus the ones nobody cared about.
I can say that someone who has no idea of what W40k is would probably think this is a terrible movie, however.
wow, this is liturally the whole movie..
nice first foray into film for 40k. i choose to forget the live action fails
one thing though. i always thought bolter rounds exploded. like small automatic RPGs.???
i think it depends thats what i always thought 2 but they do just most warhammer stuff leaves it out
after some research, in my old 3rd ed rulebook it says
"bolters fire self-propelled armour-piercing mass-reactive explosive missiles called bolts"
I think they explode inside the target
Because, the creators of the movie didn't have enough support/money to make the Bolters 'realistic'.
My expectations were too high. Disappointed that it was so short. So much more I wanted to see; I think the Space Marines are just way too cool. With all the brutality the books detail... ugh my fault for making assumptions.

Am-Pro Yamaha's Jason Raines came away with the win a the Funky Chicken National Hare Scrambles in Elkton, Oregon, May 29. Raines put his Yamaha into the lead after passing KTM rider Shane Watts early in the race. From there, Raines, the defending champ, rode off to victory, his first of the 10-round AMA Sports National Hare Scrambles Series.
Watts finished second, but it was close. After crashing a couple of times while running second, Watts had to work his way back up into the position he had previously held, only to have problems with his bike on the last lap. He quickly figured things out but not before Suzuki rider Brian Garrahan had caught up to the Aussie. From there, it was a battle to the finish with Watts finishing just ahead of Garrahan.
Third went to Garrahan's KTM-mounted brother, Pat, who was followed across the finish line by KTM riders Kevin Bailey and Billy Russell, and Kawasaki pilots David Pearson, Ricky Dietrich, Lance Smail and Brendan Ritzman.
After three rounds, Brian Garrahan leads Kawasaki's Chuck Woodford by three points in the series championship, 51-48. Pat Garrahan is third with 44 points, followed by Raines with 41 points, and Dietrich with 31 points.

A body found in Hilo over the weekend has been identified as 48-year-old Jodi L. Masutomi of Hilo, according to Big Island police.
She was identified through fingerprints during an autopsy conducted Tuesday.
The autopsy revealed that her injuries were consistent with a fall from a height. The cause of death is being deferred, however, pending a toxicology report.
A fisherman discovered the body along the shoreline off Hawai'i Belt Road in the Wainaku area shortly before midnight Saturday.
After midnight on April 30, Masutomi's tan 1997 4-door Toyota Camry sedan was found in Honomu.
Police ask anyone with information about the car or anything else about this case to contact Detective Norbert Serrao at 961-2383 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Star Tracks - Oct. 7, 2013
A big thanks to HOH
Last Thursday, Sept. 26, was the inaugural Hope Awards event presented by House of Hope (HOH) to honor some of its esteemed community partners. Sydney and I are proud that Luminaries was selected as the Outstanding Media Partner and we now have a beautiful and artistic plaque beautifying our shared cubby in LuminLand. Thanks to Elizabeth Barbella, Diane Tomasik and all our friends at HOH who made this happen.
Crossing county lines
Even though I live in St. Lucie County, as the person who covers Martin County for Luminaries I don't usually get to attend events in my home county on behalf of our company. But last weekend, Al and I had the opportunity to attend the Education Foundation of St. Lucie County Gala and what a good time it was! I was particularly impressed with what I didn't see: no pricey gifts for sponsors, no glitzy program about the event, no armfuls of flowers for committee members. In short, funds raised went to where they were intended - education-related grants, scholarships and financial support for our county's deserving students. Kudos to Jim McKenzie, executive director of the Education Foundation, who oversaw the successful evening and everyone who worked so hard to make it come together.
Gift for Hibiscus
Hibiscus Children's Center (HCC) recently announed that David L. Smythe has made a $100,000 donation to the organization. It will directly support Hibiscus' Martin County Mental Health Services and Sexual Abuse Treatment Programs. Both of these programs rely on generous supporters to provide services to Hibiscus' uninsured and underinsured children and families.

Capodimonte porcelain ewer and basin, made by Giuseppe Gricci
Capodimonte factory, Naples, Italy, around AD 1750
Modelled with shells and marine life
The factory was founded by King Charles III of
Naples (1716-88) in the grounds of the Royal Palace of Capodimonte
in 1743. Finely textured paste was made from local clays and used
for the production of porcelain with a glassy, creamy-white finish.
Giuseppe Gricci (died 1770), who had been trained as a sculptor,
was the chief modeller, and produced lively figures of Neapolitan
peasants and street sellers as well as the more typical
The ewer and its basin are painted in naturalistic enamel colours, and traces of gilding remain which must have once covered the interior of the basin. The shells were probably moulded from real shells.
Their history is distinguished: they once belonged to Marguerite Power, Countess of Blessington (1789-1849), hostess, novelist and writer of entertaining memoirs, who was a friend of the poet Lord Byron and lover of the writer Count d'Orsay. They were on display in one of the most sensational exhibitions of decorative arts, held in the South Kensington Museum in London in 1862, and were in the collection of the Earls Spencer from the late nineteenth century until acquired by the British Museum.

People panic a little bit about the measurements for cocktails, but it really is a case of making them to taste and remembering simple rules like one part alcohol to three part mixer for each person. Then just add the flavours! Get your hands on some fresh summer mint for these babies – it's one of the easiest herbs to grow, so just pick up a plant in the garden centre and pop it in a pot for fresh mint all summer long!
- 4 (or 5) fresh mint sprigs
- 60 g caster sugar
- 500 ml soda water
- 300 ml white rum
- 3 limes (juice)
- 2 limes cut into wedges
- In a large pitcher or jug, mash the mint and sugar roughly together with the end of a rolling pin
- Fill the pitcher with ice cubes and pour over the soda water, rum and lime juice. Stir, pour and enjoy!

(Thomson Reuters ONE via COMTEX) --
Solid quarter results contributed to 16% full-year core EPS growth
CORNING, N.Y. - Corning Incorporated GLW, +0.96% today announced its results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2013.
Fourth-Quarter Highlights
- Core earnings per share were $0.29*, an increase of 4% over last year's fourth quarter, and better than expected. GAAP earnings per share were $0.30.
- Core sales were $2 billion*, a 2% decline from the comparable period last year. GAAP sales also were $2 billion.
- In the Display Technologies segment, price declines for the quarter were again moderate. Total LCD glass volume was at record levels, improving 4% over the year-ago period. The total glass volume combines Corning's wholly owned business and Samsung Corning Precision Materials Co., Ltd.
- Optical Communications segment (formerly Telecommunications) sales increased 12% over the year-ago period.
Full-Year Highlights
- Core sales were $7.95 billion*, a 5% increase from $7.61 billion last year. GAAP sales were $7.82 billion.
- Core earnings per share were $1.23*, a 16% year-over-year improvement compared to last year's core earnings of $1.06*. GAAP earnings per share were $1.34.
- Free cash flow for the year was strong at $1.2 billion.
Fourth-Quarter Financial Comparisons
(In millions, except percentages and per-share amount)
Core Performance* Q4 2013 Q4 2012 % Change Core Net Sales $2,005 $2,045 (2%) Core Equity Earnings $121 $150 (19%) Core Earnings $410 $409 -- Core Earnings EPS $0.29 $0.28 4%
GAAP Q4 2013 Q4 2012 % Change Net Sales $1,956 $2,146 (9%) Equity Earnings $70 $93 (25%) Net Income $421 $155 172% EPS $0.30 $0.10 200%
Full-Year Financial Comparisons
Core Performance* 2013 2012 % Change Core Net Sales $7,948 $7,605 5% Core Equity Earnings $595 $713 (17%) Core Earnings $1,797 $1,595 13% Core Earnings EPS $1.23 $1.06 16%
GAAP 2013 2012 % Change Net Sales $7,819 $8,012 (2%) Equity Earnings $547 $810 (32%) Net Income $1,961 $1,636 20% EPS $1.34 $1.09 23%
*These are non-GAAP financial measures. Corning moved to disclosing core performance measures to provide investors a clear view of the company's core operating results. The reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP measures is provided in the tables following this news release, as well as on the company's investor relations website. Core performance metrics (non-GAAP) are adjusted to exclude the impact of changes in Japanese yen to U.S. dollar exchange rate and other yen transactions, equity earnings from the polysilicon business of Dow Corning Corporation, as well as other special items. See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in our Form 8-K filed on January 28, 2014, for details on Core Performance measures.
"2013 was a very successful year for Corning," Wendell P. Weeks, chairman, chief executive officer, and president, said in summarizing full-year results. "We achieved the company's primary performance goal of restoring earnings growth. This was accomplished by regaining positive momentum in our LCD business and growing the earnings in our other segments. We also delivered on our commitment to enhance shareholder value by increasing the cash dividend and executing more than $1.5 billion in share repurchases. The company's performance was recognized by a 41% improvement in the year's share price, a result with which we are delighted."
Fourth-Quarter Segment Results
Display Technologies segment core sales were $665 million*, a 5% decline from sales of $699 million* for the year-ago period. Core earnings were essentially even on a year-over-year basis.
Optical Communications segment sales were $605 million, a 12% increase from $540 million in last year's fourth quarter. The increase was driven by carrier network sales in North American, China, and European markets. However, these sales were a less-profitable mix than those occurring in 2012. The lower mix, along with production shutdowns in the fourth quarter, caused the segment's core earnings to decline 18% year over year.
Over the last decade, the business segment has evolved from being a manufacturer of optical fiber and cable, hardware and equipment into a comprehensive provider of industry-leading optical solutions across the broader communications industry. To better reflect the strategic focus of the business, Corning has changed the segment name to Optical Communications.
Specialty Materials segment sales were $285 million, a 29% decline from the very strong fourth-quarter performance of $399 million last year. This decline was primarily the result of significant customer inventory builds that occurred in the fourth quarter 2012. Core earnings for the segment were down 42% on a year-over-year basis, driven by lower Corning(R) Gorilla(R) Glass volumes.
Environmental Technologies segment sales were $238 million, a 9% increase over fourth-quarter results of $219 million a year ago. The increase was the result of improved light-duty automotive and diesel product sales in the quarter. Core earnings increased 124% on a year-over-year basis, led by improved manufacturing efficiency.
Life Sciences segment sales were $210 million, a 14% increase from $185 million in sales from a year ago. Core earnings increased 31% year over year. These increases were driven primarily by the company's recently acquired Discovery Labware business.
Core equity earnings from Dow Corning Corporation improved slightly from a year ago.
Core gross margin in the quarter was 40%*, a 2 percentage points decline from the year-ago period. The decline was the result of lower Gorilla Glass volume, as well as a weaker sales mix in the company's Optical Communications segment. Corning ended the year with $5.2 billion in cash and short-term investments. Capital spending for the year was $1 billion. The company spent $1.5 billion in cash on its share repurchase program in 2013. Upon completion of the Oct. 31, 2013 accelerated stock repurchase program, the company estimates that approximately 92 million shares will have been retired since April 2013.
Looking Forward
"We have entered 2014 with confidence that we can continue building a bigger, stronger, and more agile Corning," Weeks remarked. "With our recently completed acquisition of the other 50% of Samsung Corning Precision, we expect to see direct financial and strategic benefits to Corning. We are broadening our ability to service our customers worldwide with flexible fusion glass manufacturing assets and improving operational efficiencies. The incremental profitability we expect to achieve with the consolidation of Samsung Corning Precision into our display business, coupled with a new $2 billion share repurchase program, should result in a 20% accretion to earnings per share on a fully diluted basis."
Corning will provide investors with details on the company's 2014 outlook at its annual Investor Relations meeting in New York on Friday, Feb. 7. As a preview, the company provided the following expectations for the first quarter:

The Webfont Revolution Is Over
November 30, 2010
…Let the evolution begin.
So says Typographica.org.
The following paragraph was, I thought, particularly thought-provoking:
Building the fonts is the part of this story that so few anticipated or dared to face. It's the hard part. So hard, in fact, that some font manufacturers skipped the process altogether, simply releasing their print-optimized fonts as "webfonts" without the significant changes required to make them read well on screen. To me, this is akin to shipping software that is bug-ridden at best. Still, the tech media touts the "thousands" of new fonts now available for web use. Most of what consumers read is about how many fonts you can get and how they are served, but not so much about how they look and read.I've definitely struggled with this. The Calluna typeface you're reading now doesn't look so beautiful on Windows-based Webkit browsers (particularly Chrome). I've considered alternatives.
Have you found a type delivery system or webfont foundry you like? Sound off in the comments.

Neon yellow can be overwhelming. When it is paired with a texture like linen, it cools off. It's still a crisp look with a natural edge.

Extra Points …
Countdown to training camp (cont.): One of a series of lists leading up to the opening of Browns training camp next month. In our ongoing alternative to NFL Network's Top 100 players, we offer our top 10 cornerbacks.
1. Darrelle Revis, Jets: The Eric Mangini draft pick in 2007 may be the only true shutdown corner in the NFL today. Each week he follows the opponent's best receiver and he, quite literally, shuts him down.
2. Johnathan Joseph, Texans: One of the few NFL players of his era to sign a big contract in free agency and then turn in a true Pro Bowl season the next year with his new team. He, too, regularly is assigned the best receiver on the field.
3. Cortland Finnegan, Rams: An old-school player at his position – brash, treats his opponent like someone trying to steal his money. He also is one of the few corners willing to mix it up and tackle in the running game.
4. Lardarius Webb, Ravens: Had a tremendous post-season (three interceptions) after not allowing a touchdown all season, turning in five INTs and 20 pass breakups. A 2009 third-round gem from Nicholls State, Ozzie Newsome rewarded him with a $50 million contract.
5. Carlos Rogers, 49ers: Duplicated Joseph's feat of making Pro Bowl with new team after scoring a big free agent contract. He is capable of playing at a high level when dropping inside to cover those darty slot receivers in the nickel.
6. Nnamdi Asomugha, Eagles: We're giving him a pass after a sub-par year (for him) after changing teams and conferences. He is still a top 10 corner.
7. Joe Haden, Browns: His high number of pass breakups and exceptional tackling ability may merit a higher ranking. He will move up when he holds on to more balls and maintains his footing better. He is young with lots of room to grow.
8. Champ Bailey, Broncos: Entering his 14th season at age 34, he still is top 10 material. His durability is waning, understandably, with 11 missed games in four years since turning 30.
9. Charles Woodson, Packers: Like any great player, he accommodates for age and the natural erosion of athletic skills with smarts and moxie. He might move to safety at age 35, but he still made an impact at cornerback in his 14th year.
10. Brent Grimes, Falcons: An undrafted free agent from Shippensburg University in 2006 who has constantly improved. He had only one interception in 2011, but also only one penalty.
Next wave: Vontae Davis, Dolphins; Chris Gamble, Panthers; Jabari Greer, Saints; Brandon Browner, Seahawks.

'NCIS' - 'Mother's Day' Recap
(S07E16) When it was announced that Gena Rowlands would be on 'NCIS' as a guest, playing Jethro's former mother-in-law, you just suspected that this was going to be something special. Sometimes it's difficult to live up to the expectations, for the creators as well as the fans watching. Fortunately, this show did live up to the expectations, especially for those who have always wanted to know more about Gibbs and his tragic past.
Rowlands played Joanna Fielding. Gibbs called her his mother-in-law, but Joanna corrected the mistake -- she was his ex-mother-in-law. They hadn't seen each other since Shannon and Kelly's funeral. The air was thick with remorse and recriminations, but it wasn't nasty. On some level, Joanna and Jethro were united in their emotional longing for the loss of her daughter and grand-daughter, his wife and child. In a nice touch, Joanna asked Jethro about his father; very realistic.
It took a while for the mystery to unravel, but Jethro was a few steps ahead. He wisely made provisions. In the scene with Leon, he went off the record, thereby getting the director in his corner. Similarly, his arrangement with Allison Hart was all about protecting Joanna. Jethro may have announced that he was arresting Joanna, but that was never his intent. Burning the file at the end was how to keep the case closed forever.
Jethro was more emotional than ever. The scene in the bathroom showed him lost in memory, recalling how he ripped Shannon and Kelly away from Joanna years before because of his duty. When Tony interrupted and asked if he could do anything for Gibbs, Jethro asked him to give him some privacy.
The question of Joanna's veracity came up more than once. Was she addled by age? Was it the incident that shook her up? Or was she hiding something? Jethro probably knew from the get-go, but the show teased viewers enough to keep us guessing.
The confession worked because it wasn't just Joanna telling the truth, but Jethro, too. They were finally able to share both the grief and torment of losing Kelly and Shannon. And now we know how Gunny dealt with the loss all those years ago.
Other points of interest
-- Mr. Palmer's stinky cologne made the morgue smell like a French brothel. Maybe his nickname should be Pepe La Pew Palmer.
-- Ziva was definitely flirting with Phil, the Norfolk PD detective on the case. Tony was not pleased with the banter, did you notice?
-- Tony's love of movies include classics. The Akira Kurosawa festival for instance. The final joke, naturally, was that Tony was going to catch 'Rashomon,' the Kurosawa film in which truth is interpreted from different perspectives. There is no single, absolute truth, just variations.
-- The casting of Leann Hunley to play the young Joanna was perfect.
-- Gibbs needed to fix this for Joanna because it was Shannon's mother and it's what she would have wanted. Gibbs never does anything without a damn good reason.
-- Tony and Ziva were sent to Arizona to find the P.I. working for Joanna. Federal payroll is great; no budget restrictions. Just off on cross-country trip.
-- In Gibbs' basement:
Joanna: "Your personal torture chamber?"
Gibbs: "The only person I ever tortured here was myself."

Leonard Bernstein was a prodigiously gifted musician, a man of enormous energy and talent, who touched so many spheres of music. His was a conductor who became front-page news in 1943 and brought Mahler back to the public's ear in the 1960's. He was a composer who chronicled his beloved New York in musicals, notably "West Side Story," and his religion in works like the "Chichester Psalms". He brought music to television viewers with the famous "Young Peoples' Concerts". And there is so much more that could be said about Leonard Bernstein, born August 25, 1918. We will share that information along with many of his recordings on that day as we celebrate an American genius.Tweet
