The Dalmatia region
Occupying the central 375km of Croatia's Adriatic coast, Dalmatia offers a matchless combination of blue skies, crystal clear waters, fantastic food, historical sights, gorgeous islands and vibrant cities and towns. The jagged coast is speckled with lush offshore islands that are part of the reason the region has become one of the world's hottest tourist destinations. Roman ruins, spectacular beaches, old fishing ports, medieval architecture and historic cities make a trip to Dalmatia unforgettable.
Ciovo Island
The profusion of Romanesque and Renaissance architectural styles within 15th-century walls, as well as the magnificent cathedral at the town centre, inspired Unesco to name Trogir a World Heritage site. Located a mere 10km from Split airport, it is a gem on a par with Dubrovnik. The town sits on an island that is connected to the mainland by a bridge and the maze of charming cobbled streets within its medieval walls contain restaurants, shops, bars and ice cream parlours. Relax in the beautiful squares or admire the yachts that are moored on the seafront while drinking in the beautiful scenery.
Ciovo is located close to Trogir and is home to fantastic beaches, amazing views and wonderful amenities. The resort of Okrug Gornji has a stunning beach and there are plenty of great restaurants to choose from. Trogir can be reached on foot, by bus or by water taxi from the Okrug Gornji beach. The fabulous beaches in Dalmatia are, for the most part, pebble beaches so bringing waterproof footwear such as jelly shoes, crocs or diving shoes is recommended. These can also be bought in shops in the local area.
Split is the largest city in the region and a hub for bus and boat connections along the Adriatic, as well as home to the late Roman Diocletian's Palace. Nearby are the early Roman ruins in Solin (Salona). Zadar has yet more Roman ruins and a wealth of churches. The architecture on Hvar Island and Korcula Island recalls the days when these places were outposts of the Venetian empire.

"Fabulous holiday in beautiful Croatia"
We've just come back from a fantastic holiday at Mavarcica Lane. Our children (6 and 4) absolutely loved the beaches and we swam in the sea for hours every day! We enjoyed the boat trips into Trogir and the local restaurants. Catherine was incredibly helpful and always quick to respond to any queries before we left and the pre-booked airport transfers were very efficient and easy. The apartment was very comfortable and in a great location, only a few minutes walk to a lovely smaller beach, close to the main beach and very near supermarket, post office, banks etc. The roof terrace had amazing views and we saw dolphins in the distance! We'd love to come back one day. Thanks Catherine so much for a wonderful holiday that we'll always remember.

"Relaxing stress free Croatian base"
Lovely apartment, perfect for our week away. Clean, modern, spacious, comfortable, well-equipped and conveniently situated for restaurants, beaches, ferries etc. Three singles stayed so bags of room for us. We ordered pizza in a couple of nights as it was so pleasant staying in on our lovely balcony, although loved all of the many restaurants we tried nearby.

"Amazing view!"
I visited Ciovo in August and stayed in this beautiful apartment with friends. The apartment is a short walk from Okrug beach which has lovely clear water, lots of sun loungers and plenty of places for lunch and drinks as well as the docking point for boats to Trogir and Split. The apartment itself was fab - spacious with all the facilities you could need, like a home away from home and really quiet and peaceful. There was plenty of towels and it was great to have beach towels and sun lounger cushions supplied as well. The best part was the balcony and the amazing private roof terrace with spectacular views over the sea and coast line. We had breakfast every morning in the sunshine on the balcony and evening drinks on the roof terrace...perfect! The owner was extremely helpful with the booking and provided us with a great local guide to trips and restaurants. She also booked our transfers for us which was so helpful and cheap (£15 for three of us from the airport to the apartment) and to top it off there was a welcome pack of bread, milk, cheese, ham and wine which was a lovely touch. I can't recommend this apartment enough if you want a great holiday in the sun with all the comforts of home...and of course a roof terrace!

"5 star Apartment with every home comfort"
Having just returned from Ciovo with Friends we stayed in Mavarcica Lane. The apartment is finished to a very high standard and they have spared no expense in ensuring stock of fresh towels and linen. Great Air con which is a must with the very hot temps. Great shower and comfy beds. The apartment is set in a beautiful location with an amazing view over the ocean and Okrug beach from the balcony. The roof terrace is really cozy, breath taking views and the owners have spared no expense with great cushioned day beds and furniture. We loved the welcome hamper, a really lovely touch. Cannot wait to return, one of the best apartments I've stayed in. Amazing value for money.
30 Jun 2014
The apartment was gorgeous and very clean with a fabulous view out over to the islands. It was well equipped for us to make our own meals but also there are a number of local restaurnats in the area that we could walk to of a night. The apartment is an uphill walk from the beach but the view makes it worth it! It is the perfect location to get into Trogir and Split but also to have peace away from the hustle and bustle. The beach at the bottom of the hill is perfect for swimming in! Would defo recomment this apartment to my family and friends. Only down side where that the beds were very hard! Catherine was really helpful in our booking and supplying information before arrival and arranged airport transfers for us.

"Beautiful apartment with a beautiful view"
We had a really relaxed and enjoyable stay at Mavarcica Lane. The apartment is a short walk to the water and near the shops. The apartment is modern and tastefully decorated. Both rooms are spacious. We enjoyed the fact we could cook and eat on the balcony and take inth e dramatic and serene view on to the water. There's also the roof terrace that is huge and looks out on to the Adriatic. The flat is clean and all towels and bedsheets were to a very high standard. Our contacts were more than helpful and made our stay all the more pleasant. They speak several languages as well.
22 Oct 2012
Lovely apartment. Ideal location as beaches, restaurants & shops all within easy walking distance and a 15 - 20 minute downhill walk to the water ferry over to the main land. The sun terrace is the real winner and if you are lucky enough to book the apartment next door at the same time, it is a truly lovely place to have a family reunion (plus you would then have the roof terrace completely to yourselves). The owner has really lucked in with Mr V and his wife Maria who provide the transfers from Split Airport and can also provide the transport for mini trips to the surrounding area, they are a lovely couple and very helpful. Owner was a joy to do business with and provides a very good welcome/information pack for visitors to the area.

"Lovely relaxing stay"
Stayed here for week with friends at the end of May. We prebooked transportation, met on time and later on the trip the driver was able to take us anywhere we wanted for less than a local taxi and only a phne call to arrange. The apartment is lovely, modern and very clean. Roof terrace is amazing! Large roof terrace with tables and chairs and day beds, looking out to the sea. They have a barbecue aswell which is nice for self catering. A short walk to a supermarket, bakery and a few restraunts. Lovely italian at the bottom of the street which does takeways if you fancy a night in, and the apartment has sky and a selection of dvds. Apartment is nice and quite in the evening, although worth going into Trogir as its only a 15 minute walk, or you can get a bus, with plenty of restraunts and bars, and some of the boats in the marina are something else! Also worthwhile to take a day trip to island of Hvar, which is beautiful. The welcome pack was much appreciated when we arrived, everyone was very helpful. Had a lovely relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings and good company.

"Lovely Appartment in relaxed setting"
The lady who met us at the apartment was so friendly and provided us with a starter pack that included milk, butter, bread which was a lovely touch. We stayed in the apartment during June when it was still off season so the town of Trogir was quiet. I liked it this way as I was there with my wife. Trogir is a pretty wee town about 2 miles from split and there is a regular bus that takes you along to split if you fancy some nightlife. The apartment is nicely furnished and has a balcony and a lovely roof terrace. In the evenings there was nothing better than watching the sun set on the terrace with a beer in my hand. The coves where we sunbathed were about a 10 min walk away and were perfect as they provided privacy and direct access to the sea via step ladders. If you fancy a nice relaxed week away in a lovely apartment close to the sea in a town away from the bustle of Split this is the place for you. Split is only 2 miles away so if you fancy some nightlife but it always nice to get back to Trogir where it is not overrun with tourists.

Fellow SDX investors...I just picked up 10,000 shares for fun. I don't know alot about this company or what is going on. I don't know the story, just bits that I've picked up. If someone could inform me of what is coimg or what the story is on this company, I would much apprecate it. I am heavily invested in Mart Resources. 20x more than SDX. BTW, Mart Getting ready to explode.... I would like to know if SDX is headed the same direction. Thx. kellermanc

Oh how I wish I could take the train or a bus to work. It takes me 20 minutes to drive to work, and about 30 to get home. However, if I bussed it, it would take about an hour each way.

Isn't that funny, Joshua - I take the train and it's only ten minutes. Otherwise I'd be on the bus and metro for almost an hour!
Hey Liz, I posted all kinds of stats in the post above...

Arizona Cardinals
NFL.com writer: Cardinals will make playoffs in 2013
Hooray optimism!
According to NFL.com writer Adam Schein, the Arizona Cardinals will make the playoffs in 2013.
Glad that's all settled.
Schein writes that he was tasked with coming up with a team that missed the playoffs in 2012 that will make it in 2013, and when he looked at everything, Arizona was the choice.
This is not a piece for shock value. I honestly, truly, deeply believe the Cardinals are going to be the surprise team of the year with the right tweaks along the way. Sit back. I'm about to sell you.
They have the right people running the show.
They now employ the 2012 NFL Coach of the Year.
And yes, they have a great defense.
Schein believes that Bruce Arians, who the Cardinals hired to replace Ken Whisenhunt, was the best coach available in the offseason. Writing the team "won the coaching carousel", Schein says he believes Arians and assistant coach Tom Moore will be able to maximize the offensive talent on the roster, and specifically Kevin Kolb's.
Look, there's work to do on Kolb's mentality and play, but Arians and Moore will do it. And there is a building point here. Before Kolb got hurt in Week 6 last year, the Cardinals were 4-1. He rocked steady against the Philadelphia Eagles in a win. He was clutch against the Miami Dolphins. Kevin Kolb beat the New England Patriots.
True that.
Of course, Schein notes the Cardinals will likely add another quarterback, but looks at Arizona as a squad with a good defense that just added the right coach at the right time.
And, he says, they should have better injury luck this next season.
Every team has injuries, but Arizona had 17 offensive players combine to miss a whopping 103 games, with nine guys hitting injured reserve. Levi Brown didn't play a game. Home run threat Ryan Williams missed 11. Beanie Wells was out for seven. And Kolb, of course, missed 10, forcing John Skelton and Ryan Lindley into way too much action.
Anything that could've gone wrong went wrong for Ken Whisenhunt's team last year. That won't happen again in 2013.
But whatever happens, Schein believes the Cardinals will be better simply because they have better coaches in place.
As one playoff executive said to me, "For an offense that was inept last year, they actually aren't far away. Moore and Arians will help the QB (Kolb). They need to add a running back and solidify the line. Steve knows what he has to do there. The only piece to add on defense maybe is an edge rusher. The defense is loaded. Russ Grimm held that team back. He was a poor offensive line coach. The kids (on the offensive line) who struggled gained experience and the new staff will help."
Perhaps Schein is correct and the Cardinals will be back in the postseason in Arians' first year at the helm. It will not be easy, as the team does have issues to correct, but maybe the new coaching staff will be the catalyst for the improvements.
Then again, the Cardinals are in the same division as Super Bowl runner-up San Francisco and playoff team Seattle, so the road won't exactly be easy.
Apparently none of that matters to the writer. That's cool.

Fuel for older model ignition engine?
Anyone know the ratio of oil to gasoline for an old late forties model ignition engine? Was castor oil the preffered lubricant as well?
Also what were the more reliable and robust brand names of engines then. I think I want to try an old ignition engine even if I have to update the points with a electronic trigger to gain reliability.Unleaded gas or colman stove gas is adaquate I imagine?

I am a bit cofused also.
You are talking about ratio of oil to gasoline. That can only be an engine using gasoline and not methanol (glow fuel).
Then you write "late forties model ignition engine".
Engines using glow fuel also have ignition.
In the late forties (like 1945 to 1949) the glow fuel was using castor oil. There was not much if any communications with other groups.
I co-founded the "Montreal Model Bugs" club in the mid 1950s and we were formulating our own glow fuel. We used castor oil of those days in various proportion. Generally 5% up to 15% castor.
All engines were small. OK Cubs at .049,0.051,.074.
McCoy up to 0.35, K&B up to 0.45 .
The K&B 0.45 was the first engine I used that had throttle control. All were using glow fuel.
Your second paragraph seem to confirm again that you are talking about gasoline engines.
Well built contact point ignitions are very reliable.
In fact I had electronic capacitor discharge systems fail for me three times at over $100.00 cost each time.
Hope this gives you a bit of an idea and at least partly answers your case.
Atwood, Bunch,Herkimer,Vivell,Atom, are a few of the more popular ones. They come in sizes from .09 to .99. There are a couple larger ones such as the Avion.
Reliabilty is increased by using the modules as the points become a switch in the electronic circuit. This eliminates the need for a condensor and does away with electric point noise that would cause radio interfernace. For flying with R/C you should also have a high tension lead with a 10K resistor at the spark plug end. I've had hundereds of flight with these setups and not a glitch ever. Stories of unreliability from the old days came mostly from the batteries of the old days. The use of external booster starting batteries was common but they're not needed with modern batteries. A 3 cell 1800- 2200 maH Nimh pack or a one cell lipo of the same size will give you all the juice need
Still, the old adage of good batteries and clean points is a good one to follow.
If just bench running you can use standard coil/condensor setup with a regualr high tension lead.
Always remember to retard the spark before trying to flip the prop over, if you don't the first time you will the second. Starting otherwise is the pretty much same as modern engines. Flip and choke to prime with spark off, turn on spark then flip the prop with authority. When you advance the spark the mixture will richen so you'll have to lean her down just a tad beyond the point where she stops "four cycling". Hope this helps some.

If you really want to go back in time, gasoline and 60 weight motor oil was the standard, can not remember the ratio. With the old condenser, points and coil, RF interference was a problem and you needed a HAM license to fly RC and several pounds of batteries in both the plane and the transmitter.

Thanks for the information gentleman. I just aquired a 1947 .24 super hurricane. I remembered it as perhaps being the only model engine ever manufactured in Canada. In Toronto my old home town to be more specific.. We now reside on the east coast ofCanada..It actually arrived in the mail less than an hour ago and is almost mint. Or at least even better than the pictures that where themselves pretty good.
After I initially purchased it started to wonder if I might fly an old ignition engine in an old time model. Not the hurricane for several reasons.
I had forgotten about the potential for electrical interferance on the radio equipment with an ignition engine but see that an electronic trigger circuit to replace the points is available. Is the 2.4ghz radio gear also suseptable to the interferance from points? I guess one could do ground range checks with the engine running.
Nitro methane fuel is both getting expensive and no longer really available easily locally. So I have also aquired a diesel engine or two over time.My flying sites locally are many and very convienient. So the time has come to once more get active again.
One flying site is the beach when the tide is out right in front of our cottage. Although electric only there because of the noise factor when other cottage users are present. Or a well muffled diesel perhaps..Another site was my own back yard at the house that has very large fields adjoining it. The neighbours fields are still clear
Unfortunatly the tree growth on our property since I last used it is now prohibitive. So it is the soccer field area a couple of miles from home unless I fire up the chainsaw I guess. The bottom line is I want to get flying again. So much has changed since I last was really active. I would have given my eye teeth to have had access to flying sites like I have available to me today in times past. The downside is for all practical purposes activity has dropped off to almost zero in our local area.

The ratio that was recommended at that time for spark ignition engines was 3:1 gasoline:70 weight petroleum oil. If you used 90 weight Rear Axle Differential oil, you could drop it to 3.5:1. Engines at that did not use rod bearings ( the critical element). The big bitch with either ratio was plug fouling so running rich was a no-no.

You are correct. I had my ham license and built my own transmitters and receivers.
Attached a picture of the batteries for the on board receiver.
Another set of batteries to provide plus and minus 3 volts was used for the servos. No need to post pictures of ordinary 1.5 volt cells.

Thanks for listing the brands of engines that had connecting rod bushings in your post. The hurricane I aquired does not have any . I needless to say will keep those brand names in the forefront in my current search for a "runner" sparker.
That no rod bushings used in the hurricane is fine by me as I knew it before purchasing . To have survived 65 years in the condition it is in plus it is perhaps the only production run engine ever manufactured in Canada. That is as far as I am aware. It possibly is deserving of continuing retirement.
As a note of interest apparently runing a sparker on glow fuel does create greater stresses in these older engines. So conversion to glow plugs is perhaps not that good of an ideal. Unless perhaps some early engines were built pretty rugged. In fact there may be a brand or two back then that really were overbuilt. I have not verified the information in this paragraph but picked it up somewhere or other. I really think I am going to enjoy getting a sparker into the air next spring.
Is methanol usually readily available? I have never looked for it. I still have about a gallon of castor oil in the wifes freezer. Although other lubricants may be fine I still preffer castor oil. The castor on hand is for my mixing of diesel fuel.
One other thought I had was to servo control the spark advance lever. At this point I do not know how effective it would be at moderating rpm. I can design a rube goldburg type of linkage to do it. A simple torque tube type should suffice. Anyone know perhaps how many rpm might be dropped without getting so far back the engine quits?? I imagine the ideal it is far from new to do this?
SEF 94 is Small Engine Fuel (94 octane), sold by VP Racing Fuel. It is designed for weed eaters and other small engine machinery and does not contain alcohol. Expensive at $8/qt. but easier on our gas engines. I just got some at my local NAPA Auto Parts store.

A senior Vatican official on Tuesday tried to defuse the damaging rift between the Vatican and U.S. nuns after a recent rebuke over obedience and doctrinal differences.
Cardinal João Bráz de Aviz, who heads the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life that oversees men's and women's religious orders, said there had been "sensitive times," but relations between religious orders and the Holy See remained "very close."
"There are positive aspects and less positive aspects," the Brazilian cardinal said during a press conference on human trafficking ahead of the World Cup. "We have chosen the path of dialogue. We have to speak positively."
Bráz de Aviz was speaking at the launch of a campaign by Catholic nuns, backed by the U.S. Embassy to the Vatican, to fight human trafficking at the soccer World Cup in Brazil next month.
A question about the thorny relationship between the Holy See and the American sisters was put to Sr. Carmen Sammut, head of the International Union of Superior Generals, but the cardinal jumped in before she could respond. She, too, stressed the need for dialogue.
"What is important for us is to dialogue together. We are starting to work together. Like every other organization, we can have differences but it is important that we can be true to each other and we can try and find solutions together," she said.
Sammut's group is roughly the worldwide equivalent of the Maryland-based Leadership Conference of Women Religious, an umbrella group that represents the leaders of 80 percent of the United States' 57,000 Catholic sisters.
In early May, the head of the Vatican's doctrinal office, Cardinal Gerhard Müeller, reprimanded officials from the LCWR for honoring a Catholic theologian whose work was judged "seriously inadequate" and promoting ideas considered out of step with official church doctrine.
After a series of tense meetings with Müeller's office, the LCWR issued a statement saying it was "saddened" to learn that impressions of the organization had become "institutionalized" at the Vatican.
"Communication has broken down," the sisters said, "and as a result, mistrust has developed."
The investigation falls under Müeller's doctrinal office, but Bráz de Aviz, who is seen as more sympathetic to the sisters, has tried to serve as a peace broker in the standoff. Because religious communities fall under his portfolio, his office is expected to have some role in the final outcome of the investigation.

Town's public art celebrates history, heritageWritten by Becky Johnson

- Plans under way for Plott hound art piece in Hazelwood
- Maxed out: parking crunch in Hazelwood will soon be fixed
- Back in the saddle: Once given up for dead, Hazelwood is beating the odds one small business at a time
- Democrats scramble to recruit candidates for Haywood commissioner contest
Public art can be a tricky business for a town, given the wide range of public tastes.
For years, Waynesville boasted rotating pieces of public art downtown. But it was labor intensive to find artists willing to lend pieces for a short-term basis, let alone installing and uninstalling them.
So several years ago the town appointed an official public art commission to select permanent public artwork.
There have been three pieces installed to date:
• An enormous sculpture of men playing a washtub bass and banjo.
• A whimsical tribute to the international Folkmoot music and dance festival.
• A hand-forged railing paying homage to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
For past pieces, the public art commission put out a general call to artists, narrowed it down to the top three and asked them to submit their concepts. Artists were given wide poetic license to come up with a design, and the commission then voted on which one it liked best.
For the arch, however, the public art commission has developed schematics for the piece, simplifying the artist selection process and a quicker timeline for the project, according to Ed Kelley, a member of the art commission involved in the arch project.
The piece has structural parameters, specific dimensions and wording.
"It has been very much an exercise in logistics," Kelley said.
The lettering on the arch won't be cut out like a stencil, but instead mounted on the face of the arch on both sides. Stencil lettering is harder to read, and can only be viewed properly from one side, Kelley said.
The public art commission will move forward with bids from artists this fall and hopes to have the arch installed by this time next year.

Nasat, I haven't read any of those books yet, but I'm curious what aspects of the Q trilogy and Genesis Wave book three are inconsistent with other novels. Thanks!
Well, keeping in mind it's a long time since I read them, so I can't give an extensive list
"Genesis Wave book three" has quite a few, the most glaring probably being Alyssa Ogawa's child (a girl here, a boy elsewhere), and former Kai Opaka being considered dead (DS9 relaunch makes this impossible).
The Q Continuum's depiction of Q's history and the galactic barrier's purpose are
incompatible with other depictions (though nowhere near as straightly contradictory as GWIII). To be honest, it's not too glaring, but even though QandA briefly alluded to these books- along with all other Q stories
- it's revelations concerning Q's relationship to Earth and humanity are not easily compatable. Of course, this
Q we're talking about, a manipulative omnipotent being, so there's a lot more room to wriggle round these continuity obstacles than usual, but I prefer to discard these books from my personal continuity (a shame, as I quite enjoyed them). You should probably choose for yourself, of course. They're worth reading, at least.

What is TaQWA?
TaQWA is a department of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community
In 2008, Hazur (aba) established that the Taleemul Qur'an (Education of the Quran) and Waqf-e-Aardhi (Temporary Devotion) departments would be joined under one office in every country and thus the TaQWA department was created.
TaQWA is our mission
Every Ahmadi seeks to his life with TaQWA – love and fear of Allah. How can one achieve TaQWA without learning the Quran and striving in His way? Thus the mission of the TaQWA department is to motivate and inspire each of us to integrate the Quran into our daily lives so that we may be successful in life, as well as to devote time to help others do the same.
TaQWA is our website resource
AlTaqwa.us is the official website of the TaQWA department in the US. We will strive to provide resources to help each of us learn, understand, and adopt the Quran in our lives under the guidance of Hazarat Khalifatul Masih(ABA), Ameer Sahib, and National TaQWA Secretary Sahib.

The Casual HouseOctober 5, 2011Food & Drink • Oak Harbor, United States
Pick up a pair of their cute panties or new comfy bras!
Pick up a pair of their cute panties or new comfy bras!
Try the new coconut cilantro sauce/dip on the buffet. It's delish!
Vegetarian, vegan, or gluten free? Check the back of the menu for veggie options (tofu fresh rolls and green papaya salad with tofu are delish). Best veg selection in town.
Get the fresh young coconut. They're huge, a great drink, and the coconut meat makes a great dessert! Enough for two people!
They've got text based ordering now! Set up a prepaid account and text in your order. When you show up, your drink is ready.
The breakfast buffet on weekends is really good---and a good value in the context of the menu prices. $19.50 includes coffee ($3.50 seperate) juice ($4 seperate) scramble, french toast, oatmeal, etc.
Try the beers on special or drop by for one of their "Tasty Tuesdays."
The kelp noodle bowls are really good. Don't be scared of the kelp---the nearly calorie-free noodles have a fun texture and carry the flavor of whatever they're mixed with.
November's seasonal menu is tasty. Try the pumpkin soup!
They have free wifi, a touch screen juke box you can pick from (for free), and delish Zoka coffee. Fresh sandwiches and baked goods. Try 'em!
Wednesday nights: Watch the Society for Creative Anachronism play knights and duel.
Hard day at the office? Just take it out on the punching bag on the 8th floor near the basketball court.
Try the wines, particularly the 2007 Chardonnay from Washington. Buttery & creamy-- it's really unique and delish.
bring cash. no cards accepted, no ATM onsite or nearby.

Then you should release 3 demos, and make the story happen in the year 2121 ( 2+1 2+1 ).
And even if it`s in a paralel universe, over 100 years of technological advancements are not to be underestimated.
And watch out for the tech, the first level MUST be above our current one.
You don`t see any police carring sticks, a whistle and a musket going thru the streets at night right?
Let me guess, the lost relic is a Pacifier device that turns everyone in their range peacefull. And as you search for it, you progressively discover that in this universe, Hitler was the good guy, and that pacifier was his crowning jewel that he wanted to offer the world.
3 sides : Euro-Russian Consortium, Americo-Chinese Alliance, Southern Hemesfere Treaty.
3 tech levels is rather low : Low, Normal, High?
Use at least 5 levels:
Level 1: Museum artefacts and forgotten ancient equipment.
Level 2: Stolen outdated equipment from developing countries.
Level 3: Bought second-hand equipment from leading countries.
Level 4: First Rate Equipment from leading countries.
Level 5: Stolen next-generation blueprints and schematics from leading countries.
At least create some ferocious creatures that attack randomly or mutant creatures that escaped from the bio-research facility in the fire of 2054 and managed to thrive in the wilderness.
Instead of making 3 terrain sets and 3 maps, why not just create a terrain and map auto-generator, thus making each playthru unique?
The biggest problem with a 3 player game is that most of the time, 2 players will gang up on the 3`rd, thus making his game experience bad and deter him from playing again.
I`ll stop here for know.

The Redford-based father-and-son officiating team of Sean (center) and Bobby Williams (far right) worked the MHSAA Division 3 football championship together at Ford Field on Nov. 30.
- Filed Under
Last weekend's MHSAA Division 3 football final between DeWitt and Zeeland West may have been the first game ever in which the officials were as pumped as the players.
Well, at least two of the guys wearing stripes.
That would be Redford Township residents Bobby and Sean Williams, a father-and-son refereeing duo who worked the D-3 game together. Partners on the same officiating crew during the regular season, it was the first time they've been paired together for a state final contest. ...

Pretty tits, but they look like they have had a little help from a plastic surgeon. Still, I wouldn't turn down a good suck on them. She does a nice hand job for him and I like how she plays with his sperm. Shows she appreciates his manhood.

Lacrosse players from a front range high school had a night to remember in a Horizon Drive hotel, but an embarrassing one that they might want to forget.
After loading 18 people into the elevator at the Quality Inn on Horizon Drive, the elevator refused to move.
When the police and fire arrived it was reminiscent of a clown car at the circus, 18 players and coaches in an elevator designed to hold five.
"We didn't realize how many people were in there at first, and then we got stuck at the first floor and we didn't move," says Shawn Donovan, a member of the Ponderosa High School Lacrosse Team.
They were all stuck for about an hour until the Grand Junction Fire Department helped rescue the team. Players had to climb through the maintenance hatch on the roof of the elevator.
The fire department says that elevator is currently out of order as it was damaged because of excess weight.
There are no reported injuries.

Constitutional Law
There is no defensible argument that phony books should control the size of investors' claims. Wouldn't the best solution be to come up with a reasonable rate of return using an appropriate index and make that the amount of money to which people were entitled? Thus, if you put in $10 million over the years and a 5% rate of return (accounting for time of deposits and withdrawals) would have meant that you would have accumulated $15 million over time, then you should have a claim for $15 million less anything you withdrew.
No. Why should you get any rate of return on money that was never invested. Investors are lucky to get their equity investment back. The people who got more then they put in are not only going to get nothing back, they may well be required to return money to the estate under fraudulent conveyance laws. It sucks for the people who thought they were living on their interest, when they were actually living on their principal, but it sucks more for the people who didnt even get their principal back. I dont see the "winners" getting a dime more than they already got.
So long as taxpayers dollars do not reimburse the "victims", then who cares.
how should the laws governing liquidation of brokerages apply when this clearly did not operate as a brokerage?
Is there some reasonable expectation of a return on an investment in a criminal conspiracy, whether or not the investor was aware of the criminality?
Assuming that all of the investors are included in the same class of creditors, what is the foundation for each claim? It is not unreasonable to conclude that each share should be treated identically, but is a share the basis for the claim, or is the claim based on having been defrauded in the first place and limited to the amount obtained by fraud.
How much would it suck to be a preference defendant in this case who withdrew money within the 90 days prior to the bankruptcy?
That's essentially what the 'net winners' are arguing, except they are using the rate of return that investors would have received if Madoff invested in what he said he was investing in (essentially the S&P 1000). I think that everyone recognizes that the phony gains should not determine payouts.
It's pretty clear that a number of the so-called net-winners were quite aware of the fraud; several were some of the biggest "investors".
The incentives for hedge fund investors to actually investigate whether they are invested in a fraud are terrible. The state of the law is such that they probably will not engage in ongoing due diligence.
If you don't allow the net winners valid claims, then you are penalizing the only people who actually rationally said "maybe this fund is too good to be true, and I shouldn't blindly go down this path."
As a public policy matter, I say net winners should be paid.
The Madoffs , Spechlers , Raphans and Rogows colluded with the Bilderberg - Cheneys - let them disgorge - including the bribes to the FL. judges .
Way back at the beginning of this whole Madoff charade, many of those who invested openly admitted that they 'knew' that he must have been doing something crooked, but they invested anyway.
Now, with the prospect of getting more ill-gotten gains, they're asking for an even bigger slice of the pie.
And, of course, the real winners will be the lawyers — no matter what, the sharks always get fed first.
The terms "net winner" and "net loser" are truly not applicable in this situation and have been used to distract the public from the truth. Actually, ALL innocent Madoff investors were losers. No one can argue with the fact that when your entire portfolio is stolen overnight, you have lost your investment.
That being said, let's talk about those investors who withdrew money. At the time they withdrew from their Madoff accounts, the SEC assured them that the money was legitimate and that they were withdrawing their own money. The failure of the SEC to discover the fraud is a huge part of this equation, and thus the timing of the investors' withdrawal is also important to note.
Now, AFTER THE DISCOVERY OF THE FRAUD, the Trustee is accusing investors of 'stealing' money from other investors.
SIPC was created to protect investors from fraud. The fraud existed and SIPC is merely wiggling out of its responsibility to pay investors because it ignored multiple warnings from Congress that it was underfunded. Now, SIPC is trying to offload the responsibility of its failure to properly fund itself to the victims it's supposed to protect.
Step back and look at the reality of the situation-the SEC failed to detect the fraud and SIPC is now failing to protect the investors.
This is no longer an issue that affects Madoff victims alone, but rather one that affects every American investor who believes they are protected by the agencies in place to create a safe investing environment.
There are lessons to be learned by the failures of the SEC, FINRA and the SIPC.
Don't let the rhetoric of the Trustee, who has not successfully cited any reason why they should not pay investors according to the rules created by Congress when they created SIPC.
Ronnie Sue Ambrosino
Madoff Coalition for Investor Protection
@Ronnie Sue Ambrosino:
as I argued (http://blog.riskrsquared.com/2010/01/sec-shouldnt-investigate-hedge-fund.html) people who choose to invest in hedge funds explicitly opt out of the first line of defense provided by the SEC. The SEC has lots to do. Protecting those who proclaim they are smart, sophisticated and therefore operate outside the normal protections should be the last people protected.
You claim "the SEC assured them that the money was legitimate..." but that's simply not the case. The SEC does not deem some hedge funds legitimate and others not.
Your concern about "AFTER THE DISCOVERY OF THE FRAUD" reflects a misunderstanding of the bankruptcy of partnerships. I agree with you that the current state of affairs is a bad outcome, however that is what investors sign up for when they invested. They opted out of the bulk of SEC protections.
Finally, SIPC was not created to protect investors from fraud. Primarily, SIPC's role is to protect customers from the failure of their broker.
Is there some reasonable expectation of a return on an investment in a criminal conspiracy, whether or not the investor was aware of the criminality?
Assuming that all of the investors are included in the same class of creditors, what is the foundation for each claim? It is reasonable to conclude that each share should be treated identically, but is a share the basis for the claim, or is the claim based on having been defrauded in the first place and limited to the amount obtained by fraud.
On a separate note, how awful would it be to be a preference defendant in this case who withdrew money on the eve of the collapse?
First, I would note that a brokerage account is regulated by Federal authorities, so it probably it probably should be viewed differently than some offshore get rich quick scheme. Shouldn't the SEC, NY stock exchange or whoever regulates brokerage acct.s check that the securities are actually there? Seems like basic auditing.
Imaginge if there was fraud at some FDIC insured bank. Would people be saying that the FDIC insurance should not apply to a person took out more interest over many years than principal they put in? Should they further go after those winning depositors for clawback?
Other reasons why winners are not as big of "winners" as they say. Taxes were paid on all of the phony income over the years (unless in IRA account.) Inflation means that a dollar put in years ago is worth more than a dollar take out recently. People donated to charity based on the income that they did not know was phony. So, losing the principal and not getting SIPC insurance seems like more than enough punishment for those investors that did not know about the fraud. Each investor made their own decisions on how much to invest in Madoff and what to take out. I don't see why they should be obligated to pay off other investors who made their own decisions. Of course, anyone that can be proved to know about the fraud should be treated differently and give up their profits.
Bankruptcy courts sit as courts of equity. There is no equity in forcing net Madoff losers to share the recoverable pool of funds with other investors who had a net gain. Or so Judge Lifland might well reason, and, on such reasoning, be sustained on appeal. And the law creating SIPC -- or any other nonbankruptcy law -- is no barrier to a determined bankruptcy judge. Exhibit A: the Chrysler bankruptcy. Exhibit B: the GM bankruptcy. Need one say more?
Bankruptcy court judges now act in a similar capacity to the mandarins in imperial China, who behaved as independent rulers in their area of jurisdiction. In practice, there is no equity in most of these courts, just ego-driven judges who kowtow to the rich and powerful. In the past 25 years, millions of workers have lost their pensions and their contractual health insurance policies thanks to bankruptcy court judges rubberstamping the actions of corporate executives looking for ready money. If the Madoff investors who lost theire life savings in this Ponzi scheme expect any significant recoveries in bankruptcy court from Judge Lifland, they must be on drugs.
In the USA, over 4 out oif 5 fulltime workers in private industry had some sort of defined pension plan in 1985. By 2006, that percentage had dropped to about 1 in 7, a giant 70% drop in coverage. The actions of bankruptcy court judges are responsible in large part for that decliine, by allowing companies with assets to escape their contractual lliabilities in bankruptcy court. Lifland has had a hand in many of these big bankruptcies, wrecking the futures of millions of employees and retirees. He will have no problem ruining a few more lives in the Madoff case with one more mandarin-like decision in "his" court.

I'm not usually a fan of mysteries, but I am a fan of Jason Schwartzman, so when I found Bored to Death in our collection, I gave it a try. Schwartzman plays Jonathan Ames (also the name of the writer/creator of the show), a struggling novelist who, on a whim, places an ad on Craigslist offering affordable private detective services. Jonathan is a pothead, drinks too much white wine, and can't get over his ex-girlfriend, making his efforts to solve cases (and just get through life in general) pretty funny. Ted Danson plays Jonathan's boss George, a wealthy magazine editor as clueless as Jonathan, and Zach Galifianakis plays a struggling comic-book artist and best friend to Jonathan. Overall the show is fairly conventional, but it has some very funny lines that make it worth watching.

Ukraine Solves Its Alcoholic Bear Problem Just In Time For Euro 2012 (Also, Ukraine Had A Problem With Alcoholic Bears)
Some of you may not know this, but Ukraine has a bit of a problem with drunk bears.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. signs autographs for fans on his way to the drivers meeting before the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racein Las Vegas. / Julie Jacobson, AP
LAS VEGAS -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. got the most noise during Sunday's pre-race driver introductions at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, perhaps showing he has an inside track over Danica Patrick for this season's Most Popular Driver award.
Earnhardt has been named Most Popular Driver in 10 straight years, but there was speculation Patrick might be able to topple him this season.
At least at Las Vegas, that wasn't the case. According to a decibel meter used by USA TODAY Sports, Earnhardt's reception measured 84.3 decibels; Patrick ranked second among drivers who got purely cheers with 82.2.
There were a couple surprises:
-- Denny Hamlin, who was fined $25,000 by NASCAR for negative comments he made after the Phoenix race, was cheered by the fans, though not overwhelmingly. He didn't register much of a reaction.
-- Brad Keselowski, the defending Sprint Cup champion, didn't make the top 10 in noise. In addition, his reception was a mix of cheers and boos.
-- Despite finishing second in the points standings last season and having a reputation as a fun personality, Clint Bowyer didn't get much noise at all.
--And Kyle and Kurt Busch made the top 10 in their hometown, but not for cheers.
Here are the top 10 drivers in noise (with the amount of decibels and the type of noise):
1. Dale Earnhardt Jr.: 84.3 (cheers)
2. Jimmie Johnson: 82.5 (mixed)
3. Kyle Busch: 82.4 (boos)
4. Danica Patrick: 82.2 (cheers)
5. Carl Edwards: 82.0 (cheers)
6. Jeff Gordon: 81.3 (mixed)
7. Tony Stewart: 81.2 (cheers)
8. Kurt Busch: 80.7 (boos)
9 (tie). Kasey Kahne: 80.5 (cheers)
9 (tie). Denny Hamlin 80.5 (cheers)
