After apologizing about the PES 2016 roster issues earlier this month, Konami has announced data pack #2 is scheduled to release on December 3, complete with updated rosters covering all moves made until October 19.
The free update also adds new international uniforms for Germany, Italy and Spain, along with Maracana stadium and 51 more updated player likeness faces with more coming in future updates. The update also includes 8 new shoe styles, the new Nike Ordem CSF and Ordem2 balls and new entrance sequences.
Check out the trailer here, along with plenty of new screenshots here.
Read the full press release below.
Konami Digital Entertainment Inc. announced today that the company remains committed to continually evolving the rosters, adding more content and providing new visual elements to the latest addition to the Pro Evolution Soccer franchise, PES 2016. Central to the free download is the addition of the recent reveal of the new international uniforms for Germany, Italy and Spain, which will be made available on Dec. 3.
PES 2016 is world renowned for its stunning recreations of players, with its Team and Player ID systems ensuring its teams and stars both resemble and mimic their real life counterparts. Data Pack #2 adds 51 new likenesses to the player rosters, including Fernando Torres, Kevin de Bruyne, Julian Draxler, Jamie Vardy and Aleksander Mitrovic. Additional players will be added in the coming updates. Along with faces, the rosters will be updated for all offline modes, correcting those missing in the previous Data Pack and covering all moves made until Oct. 19.
For PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users, KONAMI has perfectly recreated the legendary Brazilian Estadio do Maracana venue, and for the first time in the series, it will include a unique pre-match intro sequence showing the exterior, the surrounding city and passionate fans lighting fireworks and flares.
Eight new shoe styles will also be added to the game, including the latest designs from Joma, Mizuno and Puma. The new Nike Ordem CSF and Ordem2 balls designs have also been perfectly replicated for use within the game. Other improvements include new entrance sequences for Copa Libertadores and Sudamericana matches.
More updates for PES 2016 are planned and details will be revealed in the coming weeks.

If you�re an older gamer like myself, then you remember the reason(s) that got you into playing video games in the first place. Sure, there are a handful of auxiliary reasons, but for me it was the insane amount of fun and excitement they provided. As the gaming demographics have changed over the years, so have the expectations from the gaming community.
Now, not only do we ask the games be fun, but also incredibly realistic, both in look and play -- especially in regards to sports games. Fair or not, that�s the world each developer lives in these days, and any misstep (or four) can set your franchise back for years.

After Ghost Games revealed some of the details for their upcoming Need For Speed patch last week, they have posted all of the details today, along with a scheduled release date of November 25.
AI Catch UP
One of the key things you have told us since launch was in regards to the balance of the AI Catch Up system. We�ve been reading all of your feedback on this, watching your videos and tuning in to your live streams. With all this feedback in mind we have made changes to the AI behavior which should improve your overall experience.
Community Events
When the update arrives one of the first things you may notice is the new tile on the main menu screen. Located in the bottom left hand corner this tile will be giving you information about any community events that are running, or due to run.
So what�s a community event? We�ve got three types of events that we�ll be running throughout the coming months, each one offering something a little different.
- Bonus cash events will grant an increase in money
- Discounts events will offer discounts on various in game items
- Bonus REP events will reward you with more REP
Icon Cars
If you�ve already begun your journey through Ventura Bay, you may have got your hands on Nakai-san�s Porsche or the 277 of Magnus Walker. In the next update Ken Block�s Hoonicorn and Morohoshi� Lamborghini Diablo SV will also be able to be obtained. If you�ve already completed their respective missions the cars will be waiting in the garage for you to purchase, at no cost.
Neon Lights
With the Lamborghini Diablo SV or Morohoshi-San being included we thought this would be the perfect opportunity for you to take an early, in development look at neons. They will be applied to Morohoshi�s car only and here�s a taster of what you can expect.
Colour Picker 2.0
When colouring your car, your rims, or decals you will now be presented with a new colour picker. This will feature recent colours, pre-set colours, recent materials, pre-set materials, and numerical values on the colour sliders so you can be much more precise when selecting a colour or material. Improved functionality around working with colours was one of the big bits of feedback we received in terms of the wrap editor and we�re pleased to be bringing this improved functionality to you all.
Mirror Decal
There was resounding feedback from the community during the closed beta and through launch that this was important. Which is why we�ve decided to add it in! When accessing the layers screen there will now be a button prompt that allows you to send any layer from the left side of the car to the right (and vice versa). This works on both the side panels of the car, and side windows.
REP Increase
Reputation (REP) is there for the taking and those heading onto the streets of Ventura Bay will now find themselves with even more REP to earn. The REP limit will be increased from 50 to 60.
Daily Challenges
Included in the update will be a host of new Daily Challenges, with an eye on balancing the types of events with less focus on Outlaw. Once the update arrives, you will start to see new challenges appearing.
New Trophies and Achievements
There will be three new trophies and achievements for you to earn:
- Fanboi � Put any of the new icon cars in your garage
- Iconoclast � Win and event with each of the new icon cars
- Mental Unblock � Get 350,000 Drift Score in Mental Block using Ken�s Car
We are expanding on the number of off-the-shelf wraps that are ready for you to use. In total we�ll be included thirty new wraps, ready for you to use across a variety of cars.
General bugs, tweaks and improvements
A number of bugs have been fixed. We�ve tweaked things and made adjustments in other areas such as the AI catch-up.

Sen. Roy Blunt was one of 29 Republicans supporting a failed effort to filibuster gun control legislation on Thursday.
Blunt, R-Mo., said he voted against cutting off debate on the measure because it did not address mental health issues and would not reduce gun violence.
"We all agree that we should keep guns out of the hands of criminals, but Senator (Harry) Reid's bill would not prevent tragedies like those that took place in Newtown, Aurora, or Tucson," Blunt said in a statement, referring to recent mass shootings in Connecticut, Colorado and Arizona. ...

When I buy beef, I almost always purchase it from Hillacres Pride, a Lancaster County, Pa., farm that sells at my local farmers market and makes a monthly delivery to South Jersey during the market's off-season. Today on the farm's Facebook page, they wrote this.
Rest assured that our ground beef is 100% ground beef and does not contain pink slime. I am so glad we have our meat to eat!
Pink slime, the parts of cows that are usually considered inedible but are made edible by a chemical treatment, was nixed by McDonalds' recently. The USDA hasn't gotten rid of it, though, and pink slime was back in the news this week.
- ABC News reports that 70 percent of supermarket ground beef contains pink slime. I had no idea. Now I'm really glad I know where my ground beef comes from.
- It's not just in supermarket ground beef. The USDA is buying 7 million pounds of beef that contains pink slime for our nation's schools according to Yahoo. That's one really great reason to pack your kids' lunches.
- The Consumerist explains what pink slime is and how it is created.
- You'll probably see a photo of what looks like pink soft serve ice cream floating around the Internet and connected to many articles about pink slime. The Washington Post says that photo is not actually what pink slime looks like. That photo has been circulating for years and is actually associated with chicken not beef.
Enjoy your weekend!

My doctor's scheduler called several weeks ago and said it was time for my annual physical.
"Are you talking a whole-nine-yards physical?" I asked.
"Actually, ten yards," she responded.
A day or so later my dentist's scheduler called to say it was time for an annual check- up on my teeth.
I know I'm supposed to be thankful for both of these examinations, but the truth is that I'm not … until they're over. Why?
Well, how about the loss-of-dignity issue when they put you in that paper gown? Then there's that moment of realization when you know that they know you haven't kept all the promises you made during last year's examination (dropping a few pounds and flossing every day). Finally, and more seriously, there's always the chance that you'll hear bad news: a needed surgical procedure or a root canal.
Still, a wise person heeds the scheduler's summons and shows up at the appointed hour.
As I left the doctor's office the other day, I wondered if there was an equivalent of a physical for one's interior life. If people need physicals, don't they also need spirituals?
I saw Psalm 139 in a new light: "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me." The writer of these words seems to be inviting a spiritual. There is abundant, if not infinite, space in the spiritual dimension of one's life. Who, but God, could ever know everything in that space?
I have become increasingly aware of the enormous amount of activity inside of me that I neither understand nor fully control. Impressions, attitudes, urges, motives, and initiatives bubble up and out of that darkened space, and not all of it is noble. It's similar to all the physical activity deep inside my body that I don't ...

The American Kennel Club's Museum of the Dog is one of 250 places in St. Louis where a four-foot-tall, decorated cake helps mark the city's 250th birthday.
- Filed Under
My "in" box and notepads are fat with snippets of ideas for Midwest travelers who want to venture someplace new.
? It's easy to find the hot spots in St. Louis this summer: Just look for the two-tiered, four-foot-tall birthday cakes that are made out of fiberglass and sit in front of the city's most significant attractions, landmarks and favorite hangouts. There are 250 of the artist-decorated cakes because that's how old St. Louis is this year.
"Cakeway to the West" is one slogan that marks this yearlong party. Download a free app online to make exploring easier. www.stl250.org, www.explorestlouis.com, 800-325-7962
How has the city changed and deepened its character during this time? Inside the Missouri History Museum is the "250 in 250" exhibit, which tells the story through 50 people, 50 places, 50 pictures, 50 objects and 50 moments in time.
These 250 visual, video and written stories go way beyond the city's Budweiser and Gateway Arch heritage. www.mohistory.org, 314-746-4599
? The lawn game of kubb - nicknamed "Viking chess" - has Nordic roots, and Eau Claire once again hosts the U.S. national and junior championships, July 11 to 13 at Eau Claire Soccer Park, Craig and Hamilton streets. Contestants work in teams to knock over wooden blocks by throwing wooden batons. www.wisconsinkubb.com
Lots of people play cornhole casually, but the American Cornhole Association sanctions a Sept. 20 tournament at Pastimes Pub, 120 Scott St., Ripon. "Cornhole" is a form of beanbag toss, and this test of tossing precision is an increasingly common game at campsites and tailgate parties. www.playcornhole.org
Stoughton presents its first Corn-O-Kubbia tournament at Mandt Park, 400 Mandt Parkway, on July 19. www.stoughtonwi.com, 888-873-7743
? Zip lines used to be just for a quick introduction to rainforests, howler monkeys and other exotic elements inside Costa Rica. Now even Mall of America, near the Twin Cities of Minnesota, will have one.
The enormous shopping center in Bloomington, Minn., will open an indoor zip line in July. Riders will get a 55-foot-high view of the mall's amusement park, gliding above the Ferris wheel and other rides. www.mallofamerica.com, 952-883-8800
What else? Opening June 5 at the mall's Midwest Music Museum is a traveling exhibit of Beatles artifacts, to celebrate the golden anniversary of the group's arrival in the United States. It stays until Sept. 7. www.midwestmusicmuseum.com, 952-883-8800
Bloomington also is coming up with other reasons to visit. The city's visitors bureau is working with the National Park Service and outfitter Wilderness Inquiry to offer half-day, guided canoe trips along the nearby Mississippi River. Within a walk of the mall are Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge hiking trails. www.wildernessinquiry.org, 612-676-9400; www.bloomingtonmn.org, 952-858-8500
? Chicagoland's hottest new shopping destination is miles from Michigan Avenue and the Loop. Fashion Outlets of Chicago, 5220 Fashion Outlets Way, Rosemont, Ill., is three miles from O'Hare International Airport. Shuttles connect the mall with the airport and downtown hotels.
Fashion Outlets is a two-floor home to 130 shops, many devoted to high-end labels such as Burberry, Diane Von Furstenberg, Barneys New York, Bloomingdale's and Hugo Boss. It opened in late 2013. www.fashionoutletsofchicago.com, 847-928-7500
? Monroe will make an especially big deal out of Green County Cheese Days this year because the city's first cheese festival happened 100 years ago. Plans call for limburger cheese sliders, cheese-chocolate pairings, the debut of "Cheese Days: the Musical," a parade of cheesemakers, 100 accordion players and plenty of yodelers.
The big party is Sept. 19-21, and this event happens every other year in downtown Monroe. www.cheesedays.com, 608-328-1838
? Fans of the annual South by Southwest independent music festival in Austin, Texas, can get a sampling closer to home on Aug. 9 to 11. Mile of Music, on and near College Avenue in downtown Appleton, aims to present at least 200 performers at 50 venues.
Best of all: no cover charges at most events. All music for this second annual gathering is original material. Headliners include Cory Chisel, an Appleton native who records folk-rock with The Wandering Sons. www.mileofmusic.com, 920-734-3358
? Look for "Moments in TIME," an exhibit of magazine covers autographed by their subjects, until June 29 at the Trout Museum of Art, 111 W. College Ave., Appleton.
Cover subjects include the Beatles, John Wayne, Robert Kennedy, Richard Nixon and Andy Warhol. The show is representative of the 250-plus signed TIME covers that make up a Kentucky professor's private collection. www.troutmuseum.org, 920-733-4089
? The Walldogs - an international group of artists who converge once a year to design and paint murals in towns willing to pay their supplies, lodging and food for a few days - take on Shipshewana, Ind., this year and Delavan in 2015.
The group's work leaves colorful and lasting impressions on cities chosen for a visit. The artists painted 21 murals in Plymouth in 2011, and the work-in-progress attracted crowds of onlookers. www.thewalldogs.com
? American Girl Place, 835 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, is a doll-lover's dream. In the building is a doll hospital, doll hair-styling studio, restaurant for child-doll tea times, bakery with matching child- and doll-sized treats and lots of shopping space. www.americangirl.com/stores, 877-247-5223
Now come four dates (July 20, July 30, Aug. 6 and Aug. 10) for American Girl Cruises, which include lunch or dinner and take parents, girls and dolls along the Chicago River or Lake Michigan shore. Actors portray historical characters based on American Girl books. Prices not yet announced. www.cruisechicago.com, 847-358-1330
? Coming Nov. 1 to Madison is the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival, affiliated with the Iowa Bacon Board. Expect a sizzling immersion in food, beverages, lectures, movies and themed meals with bacon from Wisconsin (Nueske's to Patrick Cudahy).
Watch www.blueribbonbaconfestival.com for details about this Alliant Energy Center event, which began as a lark in 2001 and now gains international attention. Other fest sites this year are in Iowa, Colorado and Iceland.

COVINGTON -- When other kids her age are thinking about what they'll get from Santa, all Gracie Kendall wants for Christmas is to make the holiday a little happier for someone in need.
Gracie, 8, recently held a bake sale to benefit a family she'd never even met. She said she was inspired with the fundraising idea while attending a church service, and knew she'd give the profits to a sick child. Gracie went home and told her mom, Kerry, what she wanted to do, and they set about making treats like cookie pops, strawberry cupcakes and whoopee pies to sell at church, school and baseball games.
Members of Journey Church helped with the baking, and the sale went on for a month.
"My goal was $100 and I raised more than $500," Gracie said.
Initially, Gracie hoped to donate the proceeds to a child in the hospital, but was told only family members could visit. It was important to Gracie to meet the person she was helping, so she and her mother began a months-long journey to find a local family in need. Kerry Kendall happened upon a flier about a bass fishing tournament to raise funds for three siblings who are all suffering from NF-1, a genetic disorder that causes tumors to form throughout the body, and knew she'd found the perfect family.
Chase Wilkins, age 11, his brother, Joshua, 10, and sister Taylor, 8, have different severities of the disorder, with Chase's being the most serious. In the past, he has required chemotherapy to treat a tumor on his optic nerve, but right now his platelets are too low to take the treatment, according to Kristi Johnston, who organized the bass tournament fundraiser for the family.
The parents of the Wilkins children declined to be interviewed for this article, but gave permission to use the children's names and photo.
"They said 'thank you, thank you, thank you,'" Gracie said of the family's reaction when she hand-delivered the $520 check. The children's mother indicated the money will be used to pay for their Christmas, Kendall said.
Gracie is making sure Santa Claus knows all about it. She wrote him a letter detailing the whole story.
"He's probably going to pass out," she said.
This isn't the first time Gracie has extended help to an ill child.
Earlier this year, Gracie had 8 inches of her hair cut to send to Locks of Love because, "I thought about the children who had no hair so I wanted to donate my hair," she said. "I really like to help people. It feels really good."
Kerry Kendall said people are always commenting that she and her husband, Paul, must be doing something right in their rearing of Gracie and her three siblings, Paul Jr., Luke and Levi.
"But she did it all on her own and we're just overly proud as parents," Kendall said. "If anything, we want to teach them to be good people and care for others over themselves."

What a wonderful, wonderful story! Gracie you just made my day. Doing something this selfless at 8 years old--I can only imagine how amazing your future will be!! I hope the Wilkin's family has a wonderful Christmas and you too Gracie!!

I had a little motor car,
And I took it round the cooooooorner
And I slammed on the brakes.
"Sometimes we did "But the brakes didn't work, so I ..." but I don't remember what we said then."
1 person in the rope, 2 turning. Person in rope sings:
I had a motor car, 1968,
took it round the corner (child runs around the turner and jumps back in)
slammed on the brakes, but the brakes didn't work and I took it down the hill,
I took it really fast (turners speed up rope)
and I'm going still.
(The other children sing out:
How fast are you going?
1,2,3.... (whilst the turners keep speeding up the rope.)

2 People twirl the rope with as many people in the middle as you wish, but you may want to only have 3 at a time in the middle to start off with. As you jump repeat the rhyme and do appropriate actions suggested in the rhyme.
Teddy bear, teddy bear, turn around.
Teddy bear, teddy bear, touch the ground.
Teddy bear, teddy bear, tie your shoe
Teddy bear, teddy bear, switch a roo
Teddy bear, teddy bear, reach up high
Teddy bear, teddy bear, touch the sky
Teddy bear, teddy bear, turn off the light
Teddy bear, teddy bear, say good night
For more fun or difficulty add a new person each time the rhyme starts again. Try doing it without stopping the skipping rope and rythm!

The Louisiana state fire marshal has obtained a warrant for the arrest of the owner of Deal and Discounts Furniture Store that burned down in May.
Brant Thompson, deputy Louisiana fire marshal, said officials hope to have Marian Gunter, 38, in custody "by close of business" Thursday. She has been charged with arson with intent to defraud.
On May 5, fire destroyed Deal and Discounts Furniture Store on Louisiana 167 in Jonesboro. Gunter had owned and operated the 12,500-square-foot store for 13 years and employed five to six people, Thompson said. ...

I mentioned the Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition we tested was a powerhouse that made me wish I had stumps to pull or building materials to haul, but of course that power comes at the price of fuel economy. There's no such thing as a free lunch, after all.
I started my test week in the Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition by getting pretty abysmal fuel economy numbers on the dashboard readout. After running my paper route on Tuesday afternoon for the day job, I was seeing MPG readouts in the 14s.
"Don't worry, you always get worse fuel economy doing all this stop-and-go driving in town on the paper route," I told myself. "It'll improve once you hit the highway."
Or, as they say, not. The Tundra's trip computer never estimated my average fuel economy above 15.0 MPG. For a brief time with the cruise control set while doing quite a bit of highway driving, I did see that 15 MPG figure on the dash, but as soon as I hit the first traffic light in town, that went away.
To be fair, the EPA only rates the Tundra with the 5.7-liter V8 at 13 MPG city, 18 MPG highway, 15 MPG combined. That's better than the 12 MPG/17 MPG/14 MPG scores EPA gave the Nissan Titan PRO-4X we tested earlier this year. However, we somehow managed to observe 16.5 MPG out of the Titan. That's even more strange when you consider that not only was the Titan rated worse on fuel economy by the EPA, it also was a four-wheel drive truck compared to our Tundra's two-wheel drive setup. The Titan test week included about four hours of interstate highway cruising, which might have helped bump up the average a bit, but I honestly figured a day spent fighting hairy downtown Nashville traffic that same day would have kept it in check.
The Tundra's fuel consumption, like the Titan's, necessitated a mid-test fill-up. Despite a huge 26.4-gallon fuel tank, I was on "E" by the fifth day of our test. Knowing I had a lot of driving to do that day, I stopped at a gas station first thing and put $50 in at $3.199 per gallon. That was just barely enough to bring the gas gauge's needle back up to the 3/4 mark.
That kind of gasoline expense isn't made for a journalist's budget. Unless you're swimming in Texas Tea and raking in those petrodollars like the Ewings, the Texan Tundra's appetite for fuel probably won't be doing your budget any favors, either. It all makes me wonder why Toyota didn't make the 4.0-liter V6 engine an option in the 1794 Edition or any of the other upmarket Tundras. Perhaps it was seen as too coarse or unrefined — I wouldn't know, as I haven't experienced that particular engine in a Tundra yet. Or perhaps its EPA ratings of 16 MPG city, 20 MPG highway, 17 MPG combined just aren't sufficiently better than the big 5.7-liter V8's numbers to justify making it an option in a truck priced well into the $40,000 range, where folks aren't necessarily thinking about fuel costs.
For those of us of more meager means, there's the Tundra's little brother, the Tacoma, which the EPA rates at up to 27 MPG highway when properly equipped. That's a little more my speed. Based on my finances and hauling needs, the Tundra in just about any form is way too much truck for me. Your mileage may vary, as the old saying goes.
Disclosure: Toyota provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of gas.

The Franklin boys and girls wrestling squads swept the District 1-5A high school meet Saturday at Parkland behind a strong effort from every team member.
On the boys side, the Cougars won with 235 points, ahead of El Dorado with 210.5.
Franklin won five individual titles and had four seconds, while the Aztecs won three individual titles and had four second-place finishes.
"We're peaking at the right time," Franklin coach Jesse Almodovar said. "We did well across the board.
Franklin got wins from Cody Moss (120 pounds), James Pleasant (152), Emilio Carreon (170), Anthony Camacho (182) and Alex Jimenez (195).
"We have been consistent all season long," Jimenez said. "We started off a little bit slow in the tournament, but once we got going, we settled down and lots of people contributed. We just need to keep improving and get ready for regionals next weekend."
On the girls side, the Cougars won with 142 points, well ahead of second-place Bel Air (78).
The Cougars won four titles and had one second. Alejandra Mercado (110 pounds), Paige Edwinson (119), Aideli Martinez (128) and Gabriela Sotelo (138) were the four winners for Franklin.
"We're coming into our own right now," Edwinson said. "This was a good tournament for us. We kept battling throughout and we had different wrestlers step up. We think this tournament will help us gain some momentum for the regional tournament and then the state tournament."
The Class 5A regional meet is next weekend in Arlington.
"We feel we have a good opportunity to do really well at regionals in both boys and girls," Almodovar said. "We have been working really hard and we just have to go back to work this week and work on a few things."
District 1-4A
There was plenty of drama on the boys side at the District 1-4A meet as host Jefferson edged out Chapin by 2åpoints. The Silver Foxes scored 206.50 points, while Chapin had 204.
"I'm very proud of my team," Jefferson coach Daniel Alarcon said. "The boys really battled hard and it was a great tournament."
Jefferson earned titles from Christian Ontiveros (113 pounds), Sebastian Lara (132) and Hugo Gutierrez (182), and had four second-place finishes.
The girls competition was also close between Jefferson and Chapin. Chapin won the championship with 148 points, while Jefferson had 130.
The Huskies won individual championships at 148 pounds with Ashlee Forsyth and 165 pounds by Andrea Torres.
Chapin also had four wrestlers finish second.
"It was a hard-fought battle in both the boys and girls competition and all of our wrestlers did a really good job," Huskies coach Angel Nevarez said. "This was a good test for us as we head into the regional tournament next weekend. The regional tournament will be a huge test for us."
The Class 4A regional meet starts Friday at Bowie.

West Seattle Crime Watch: Early-am search; daylight car prowlNovember 3, 2011 at 3:17 am | In Crime, West Seattle news | 4 Comments
ORIGINAL 3:17 AM REPORT: Two things this morning – one that's happening right now: We're working to find out more about a search that's under way in the neighborhood east of California SW, between the Alaska and Morgan Junctions. Officers, including a K-9 team, are out searching for somebody. As soon as we find out what led to this, we'll update. (Thanks to those who have reported this via e-mail, Facebook, and Twitter.)
9:40 AM UPDATE: Got the details from SPD: This started as a report of a "suspicious male" in the alley behind the 5400 block of 45th SW, with a running vehicle. Police arrived, saw three "unknown race males in dark clothing … 5'6 to 5'8″, slim build" who took off running eastbound upon seeing officers. They had been standing around a car that was up on blocks with three wheels/tires off. A search ensued; the K-9 team lost the scent around the 5400 block of 42nd, which likely means, police say, someone picked them up there. The car turned out to be stolen but hadn't been reported yet; police are analyzing some items from its interior for possible prints.
(back to original report) Meantime, we have a report about a car prowl during the daytime on Wednesday – read on:
Martin e-mailed to report:
Just wanted to let you know that our two cars were entered (Wednesday) morning at around 9:00 a.m. while my wife and daughter were home. My daughter heard the car doors open and smelled cigarette smoke from the prowlers, but didn't look out from our upper-floor window. The car prowlers took 1 black backpack with the road emergency kit from our sedan and one box of donated goods from our Mazda van. This happened at 49th Ave and SW Forney Street on a dead-end alley behind our home. I've sent an online report to (police). A neighbor to my west mentioned that his toolbox in his pickup was open but didn't say if anything was taken.
This was a little disturbing since it happened in broad day light and while my wife and daughter were home.
Here's how to file a report online – note that it's NOT for emergencies.

My daughter just texed me asking if I knew why her school West Seattle High is in lockdown.

Marian Gaborik -- The 26-year-old wing enjoyed his finest regular season ever, as he recorded 83 points for the first time in his career. While some star players struggle in the playoffs, Gaborik steps up his game. When Minnesota reached the semifinals in 2003, Gaborik had 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) in 18 games. He also had three goals in five games last year against the Ducks.
Brian Rolston -- The veteran forward reached the 30-goal plateau for the third straight season, with roughly one-third of those goals coming on the power play. His production with the man advantage will be crucial for a team that saw only two players (Rolston and Gaborik) score at least 20 goals. The 35-year-old Rolston, who hasn't won a Stanley Cup since his rookie season with the New Jersey Devils in 1994-95, has a knack for scoring big goals, as he led the Wild in game-winning tallies this season.
Niklas Backstrom -- The 30-year-old goalie appeared in his first postseason in 2007 and started all five games for the Wild. Clearly, Minnesota didn't lose because of its goaltending, as Backstrom stopped 134 of 145 shots against the Ducks. While his regular-season goals-against average went up a tad from last season -- when it was a phenomenal 1.97-- Backstrom enjoyed his first 30-win campaign in 2007-08.

It is a shame,our people has suffer enough and we are trying to move forward.We don't need this trash.Kosovo is a safe country,for everyone.I think somebody should do something and stop this fullish episode.
They've got all the info wrong about Kosovo. They portray Kosovo as if it was Russia or some shit socialist country. At least they should get the facts right when they have a full episode aboput a country not just wing it cause people that watch the show might just stop.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Behavioral Health
What is the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist?
Psychologists and psychiatrists often work together to provide you with the overall best care experience. However, many people can be confused regarding the differences between the care these professionals offer.
A psychologist is a doctor who provides therapy services. Psychologists have completed an undergraduate degree, and four years or more of graduate training to earn a Doctorate (PsyD or PhD) in areas such as clinical or counseling psychology. Psychologists receive specialized training in understanding how the mind operates, and can assist you in identifying and working toward resolving the root causes of emotional and behavioral issues. In order to do so, a psychologist may work with you in therapy, or administer psychological testing to help identify issues. By law, anyone known as a psychologist must be licensed by the state to provide you with these services.
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD) who has completed training in medical school and specialized training in the area of psychiatry. In general, psychiatrists will help you understand emotional and behavioral issues from a medical perspective. This often includes prescription medications to help you feel better. By law, anyone known as a psychiatrist must be a medical doctor trained in this specific area.
How do I know which doctor I should see at the Behavioral Health Center?
Because of the different roles that psychiatrists and psychologists serve, it can sometimes be difficult to know which doctor to see. If you have been referred to our services by another physician, it would be helpful for you to ask your doctor for clarification of the referral – does your doctor recommend you see a psychiatrist or psychologist?
If you have sought our services on your own, the most important thing to consider is your objective. If you would like an evaluation to see if medication would be beneficial for you, then a psychiatrist would be the best person to see. Are you interested in engaging in therapy to work on issues, without a medication evaluation? Then a psychologist would be the most appropriate person to see. If you still have questions about this, you can contact us and a doctor will help you decide.
Since our doctors collaborate closely with one another, you really cannot make the wrong decision in seeing a psychiatrist or psychologist. The doctor that you meet with will make sure you are seeing the professional who can best meet your needs and help you achieve your goals. In some cases, a combination of medication and therapy may be the best course of treatment, and our doctors will help you if this is the recommendation as well.
What can I expect when I arrive for my appointment? How long will it take?
When you arrive for your appointment, you will be greeted by someone at our front desk who will notify your doctor that you have arrived. When he or she is ready for your appointment, you will meet with your doctor in a private and comfortable office. At your initial appointment, you and your doctor will discuss what led you to seek services. Your doctor may have some questions for you about your history. You should expect to collaborate with your doctor to develop a plan to help you.
Your initial appointment will likely last between an hour and an hour and a half. Follow up appointments will depend upon the plan that you and your doctor have agreed upon. When meeting with a psychologist, subsequent appointments are typically 45 minutes. Follow-up appointments with a psychiatrist may be longer or shorter, depending upon your plan. Whether meeting with a psychologist or psychiatrist, you are an integral part of the treatment process.

How do you go about editing the file or don't ya have to? How do you get it to work?
Run Notepad as admin and open the file, edit it (change the 0 to 1) and save.
--You'll know the zero i'm referring to if you open the correct file (Commands.ini)
The console has added cheats after changing the INI file. You can set your kingdom points to whatever you want plus more. Type 'help' in the console after editing the file to see a full list of available cheats.
What is the fun in unlocking this file?? The last thing I want is an error code 12 for me accidently forgetting to turn the code off before saving... The main reason I want a trainer is to cheat in a better way, so the in game rewards still work.. Sorry but I'm not gonna screw up this game... If it does a error code 12 or whatever, then I'll unlock the file, I just wanna rule out Testingcheatsenabled true as the main cause for this error...
