that leetspeak is horrible..
i wouldn't really call it an exact replica.. or is this still a WIP?
to be honest, i think the one from lost world: returns looks better.
As far as i know, we only used the water shader and a few rubble models from HL2 for this, which will be replaced later on.
and why would they choose after all that work?
have you ever made a model yourself?
they'd have to re-UVmap and retexture the whole thing if they don't like it afterwards..
..IF it's worth the trouble.
i'm guessing you have no idea how hard it is to make nice looking feathered dinosaurs..
and the result might not be what you expected/hoped for.
i think they're right about doing the best they can, there's no need to make a 100% scientifically correct game..
ugly models with nice environmental effects.. that doesn't go well together
..i don't see why you want the mod to look like HL content transferred to the source world.. i get the idea of porting, but you won't get a real HL feel if there's stuff like realtime lighting in there..
i must say, i'm really impressed with this mod..
i'm not that big of a DB fan, but seeing this almost makes me want to play it.. but then i remember that i have my own mod to make, and i return to my modeling with a sad look on my face.
but seriously, the models and animations look great, you must have one good coder there. only real critique i have is that the maps look rather empty, they needs some more rocks and trees. and the mushroom effect was horrible but i see that you've already taken that one out ;P
keep up the good work!
the models look good, you noob..
i doubt that you've ever even thought about making a mod yourself.
the model looks great, but i think the hair would look a lot better if you baked the occlusion map into the texture..
unless you've already done it, then i'd copy+paste it and multiply, cause it's hardly visible. otherwise, great job!
i fully agree, there's a whole lot that you can do with correct physics alone.
uh.. no.
yeah, but these guys are making a videogame, not cars.
i'd try to get more variety in your cars.. or use some of HL2.
i like all the weapons done by Kathar.. nice work, especially liked those Berettas.
about those zombies.. i would spend more time in making different looking zombie models, instead of only making multiple skins for a few models..
the texture alone won't hide that you're continuesly using the same model.
that depends on the brick you're using.
i do agree though, that it's way too smooth looking.
i also couldn't help but noticing that those holes are far from perfectly round..
well, it had some good parts, but i just don't dig the hardcore beat at all..
the texturing of the ships is pretty badly done, and it looks like the whole ship is fully lit all the time, you should really bake the shadows in the textures of the model, and a better texture for that deck wouldn't be a bad idea.. these look way too clean, and you can hardly see that they used planks to build the deck.
that's very nice, i like the atmosphere.
to be honest, i don't like the audio at all.. i think the drum n bass works a lot better for HL2 mods..
you've used the same model three times?
lol aint that the truth.
awesome trailer, nice cinematics and everything,
but that battleaxe looks pretty lowpoly, and the texture really needs some more work, that's the cleanest warhammer i've ever seen.
the maps looked cool too, just a bit empty.
keep up the good work!
ofcourse that's not ingame!
this was pre-rendered, prescripted and your probably not gonna see any of these animations in the real mod.
i mean, it was an awesome trailer, but you shouldn't get you hopes up about it actually being as good as this.
that would be pretty bold yeah.. i mean, the weapon models look great, but the maps are no where near those of black mesa src.
the models look great, nice work.

There have only been two caught ever. The first one in 2000 and the second one just a few weeks ago. It's a goblin shark!
Dr. John Carlson, a marine biologist, told us a little more about the creature.
The goblin shark is a deep sea life creature, usually living 2,000 - 5,000 feet underwater.

Mount Desert Island
By WAYNE CURTIS
Published: August 4, 1996
When a guest ordered a strawberry daiquiri at the century-old Claremont Hotel recently, the bartender did something so simple it was downright startling: he retrieved fresh strawberries from the refrigerator, then gently washed and stemmed them by hand before dropping them into the blender.
Mount Desert Island, on the Maine coast about 36 miles southeast of Bangor, has long been a place of small gestures and simple charms. It's been that way since the mid-19th century, when Thomas Cole and Frederick Church prowled the island for landscapes to paint and brought back images of a restless sea against a backdrop of rugged mountains. Attracted by that craggy grandeur, affluent urbanites soon followed, building oceanside mansions and remarkable mountain paths.
Today the most dramatic terrain is preserved within the borders of Acadia National Park, (207) 288-5456, which makes up nearly half the island. Within the park are extraordinary oceanside drives, challenging hiking trails and peaceful carriage roads and two National Parks Service campgrounds, all of which offer access to sea, spruce and granite landscapes that have been largely unchanged since Cole and Church painted them.
Which isn't to say that the island has gone untouched by the present century. The park gets some three million visitors each summer, trespassing rather heavily on the serenity of the place. Bar Harbor, the commercial center, has more than its share of shops selling lobster key chains and puffin T-shirts. In August sidewalks can be obstacle courses.
But the pockets of tranquillity are never far from the crush -- in the island's smaller towns, like Northeast Harbor and picturesque Bass Harbor; aboard a ferry to an offshore island; or, most simply, on a trip into the woods by foot or bike.
People wearing white and hefting mallets will compete in the 20th annual Claremont Classic croquet tournament on the grounds of the Claremont Hotel. The finals are Aug. 10, followed by an outdoor buffet and dance with a Dixieland jazz band for about $17. Call (207) 244-5036.
On Aug. 12, the Arcady Music Festival, (207) 288-3151, presents ''Marimba Magic,'' starring Mutsuko Taneya, a Japanese marimba virtuoso. The concert is at the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor and features works by Mendelssohn, Bach and Copland, among others. Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door.
The Acadia Repertory Theater, (207) 244-7260, now in its 24th year, will stage Agatha Christie's ''Murder at the Vicarage'' Aug. 13 to Sept. 1, at the Masonic Hall in the Village of Somesville on the island's west side. Tickets are $14.
One of Maine's most popular and oldest country fairs takes place Aug. 29 to Sept. 2 in Blue Hill, on the mainland about 25 miles west of Mount Desert. The fair features agricultural exhibits, carnival rides and the Joie Chitwood Auto Thrill Show. Tickets are $5, $3 for seniors; children 12 and under are free. Call (207) 374-9976 for information.
The Criterion Theater, (207) 288-3441, in downtown Bar Harbor, makes moviegoing seem once again like a big night out. Built in 1932, the theater still has much of its magnificent Art Deco styling intact. Splurge for seats in the loges at $1 extra.
The sunrise from Cadillac Mountain, the island's highest peak at 1,530 feet and reachable by car, ranks among the most popular sights on Mount Desert, but a number of other pursuits take place at more civilized hours.
Visitors can put the island into its coastal context with a glider flight high above the granite hills. Flights are offered daily from the Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport, with a pilot taking up to two passengers at a time. The basic ride lasts about 20 minutes and costs $80 for two; (207) 667-7627.
The 20-mile Park Loop Road is Acadia National Park's equivalent of Yellowstone's Old Faithful or Yosemite's El Capitan -- the centerpiece that draws teeming crowds, and with good reason. The loop is worth at least two trips: once for the sheer exhilaration of the changing vistas from the swooping road, and again to stop and explore attractions like Sand Beach and Thunder Hole, an oceanside cavern that explodes concussively when the waves wash in (it's most theatrical in the middle of a rising tide). A weeklong pass costs $5 a vehicle.
Mount Desert (pronounced duh-ZERT) has some 120 miles of hiking trails, and the best of them feature all the drama of hiking above the tree line in New Hampshire's White Mountains with only a fraction of the effort in getting there. Expect great views and sunny rock ledges fringed with blueberry and juniper bushes.
The premier view of Somes Sound and the islands to the south is from atop Acadia Mountain on the island's west side. The round-trip loop hike is about 2.5 miles, with the steep ascent and descent linked by a broad, open summit. Among the most impressive island trails for sheer bravado are the Ladder Trail up the east side of Dorr Mountain and the Beehive Trail near Sand Beach. Both were built early in this century, and employ extraordinary stone steps and iron ladders to get hikers up the demanding rock faces.

I went anon for this so that I don't get all the backlash on my main account.
I am due Jan 9th with my 2nd child. First was born via C-section. With this baby measuring so big and my previous c-section my Dr wants me to schedule another CS if he isn't born by 39 week. My 39 week mark is January 2nd. I DO NOT want another CS.
I consulted with her about natural induction (i.e. Sex, walking, nipple stimulation) and she said all of which are fine. Then I asked about Castor Oil and she said "as long as you are ready to poop! Its your choice, I say why not!" So I went out and bought some and it has been sitting on my shelf for a few days.
TODAY is the day! 38+3 and I haven't pooped in 4 days so if all that comes out of this is poop I will not be disappointing.
Feel free to bash me, join me, or just follow along with your questions!
Posting pics along the way so you know I am not just trolling you.

Top sports stories of 2011Published 4:29pm Monday, January 2, 2012
The year in sports for Selma-Dallas County has had its ups and downs. Champions have been crowned and hopes have been dashed from the gridiron to diamond and from the track to the hardwood.
These 10 stories offer only a glimpse of an exciting year in Dallas County sports:
No. 1: Dallas County captures 4A State softball title, Daniels named All-American
The Dallas County High School Lady Hornets' softball team made school history, winning its first ever class 4A State Championship.
On a team that held eight seniors, it was an eighth-grader who dealt the final blow.
With two outs and a 3-1 count in the top of the eighth inning, Kendall Veach launched a ball over the left-centerfield wall to lift Dallas County 5-3 over Cherokee County High School in route to the first state title in school history.
"I was just wanting a hit," Veach said. "God gave me that hit and put that ball over the wall, so all praise goes to him. It feels really good, we worked hard all season for this. We prayed four times before the game. We never gave up and fought the whole time."
The launch gave the Lady Hornets the breathing room it needed and when the ball hit Veach's mitt after yet another strikeout victim for Cassie Daniels, the celebration was on.
"There is no words to describe it," Lady Hornet senior and tournament MVP Ciera Ingram said. "We busted our butts this year. God was just so good to us, we couldn't have done it without him. We had a great group of seniors and such a great team."
The 4A state champion's pitcher Daniels was named to the MaxPreps Small Schools All-American Softball team.
Miller said Daniels is more than deserving of the honor.
"Cassie has fantastic work ethic and she's a terrific ball player," Miller said. "She really helped us a lot. To have a small, country team get somebody on an All-American team really means something."
The senior pitcher was named the Alabama 4A State Player of the Year this past season after going 34-5 with 426 strikeouts in 223 innings pitched, including 20 shutouts and six no-hitters.
No. 2: Ellwood wins AISA
Class 1A State Title
It was the match-up Ellwood had been looking forward to.
Despite losing twice to Crenshaw Christian Academy in the regular season, the Eagles felt they were the better team and, in the most important game of the year, they were.
Ellwood took down the Cougars 37-25 to claim their first AISA Class 1A state basketball championship.
"You know, when a team beats you it makes you feel like they have something better than you," senior point guard and tournament MVP Glentravious Olds said. "But the third time is the charm. We got here and showed up in the first quarter and did our thing. We just kept our heads up and knocked shots down when they came to us and that was it. We just wanted it more than them."
No. 3: Meadowview JV
volleyball takes state title
The Meadowview Christian School junior varsity volleyball team made school history as they achieved perfection and captured a state championship.
The Lady Trojans completed a perfect 18-0 season on the way to the school's first ever volleyball state championship of any kind at the state tournament at Edgewood Academy in Elmore.
Meadowview volleyball coach Robby Redd said the key to the perfect season was that his team kept pushing forward.
"The key was just perseverance," Redd said. "I mean, they just worked really hard all year and they didn't lose their cool at any point."
No. 4: Keith boy's basketball make Class 1A State Final Four
The Keith High School boys team avanaced all the way to the final four in Birmingham, but fell to Pickens County at the BJCC.
The Tornadoes' (29-1) Jematic Curry scored 16 of his 20 points in the second half to push Pickens over Keith (19-11) 65-57 in the AHSAA class A semifinal.
"Right now I'm just real proud of our seniors," Bears coach Tommy Tisdale said following the game. "Those guys have been with me for three years and the second best thing other than the championship game was tonight."
No. 5: Morgan's Rachel Gomes sets state records
Rachel Gomes' 300-meter hurdles state record was in danger.
But, luckily for the Morgan Academy junior, she's the one who was able to break it.
Gomes topped her own state record in April with a time of 47.03 seconds, won the 100-meter hurdles and took second in the long jump behind teammate Catherine Armstrong in helping lead the Senators to a state runner-up finish.
"I broke it before and I thought it was too good to break it again," Gomes said. "I want to improve on all my hurdles and hopefully get some college recognition in the 300-meter because this will be the year to do that."
No. 6: Concordia football
receives national honors
The Concordia College-Selma football program just completed it's sixth seaon, but it's already risen to national recognition.
After a 6-4 season, which saw the Hornets finish ranked No. 7 in the Dr. Cavil's HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) Black College Mid-Major Division Football Final Top 10 Rankings, Concordia was named the Dr. Cavil's HBCU Independent Co-Program of the Year.
Hornets' head football coach Shepherd Skanes was also named the HBCU Independent Program Division Coach of the Year.
"First of all, God be the glory," Skanes said. "I'm glad to see it (the program) growing. I'm glad to see Concordia College-Selma getting the notoriety. We're trying to put Concordia College on the map."
Hornets' senior offensive lineman Steven Welch was also honored, as he was named a First-Team All-American on the Dr. Cavil's 2011 HBCU Black College Football All-American Team (Mid-Major Division).
No. 7: Jennifer Moore captures 100th victory at school
Morgan Academy volleyball coach Jennifer Moore crossed a milestone in 2011, and added another accomplishment to her resume.
With a victory over Sumter Academy, Moore won her 100th match as head volleyball coach at Morgan Academy.
"It's a great accomplishment," Moore said. "It's a great accomplishment for anybody who's played volleyball at Morgan the last four years. It's a nice accomplishment."
The milestone is another accomplishment in Moore's four-year tenure.
Moore also coached the Senators to state titles in 2009 and 2010.
No. 8: Southside, Dallas County welcome new football coaches
Both Southside High School and Dallas County High School welcomed new football coaches for the 2011 season, but neither experienced the successs they had hoped for.
Willie Moore, was named the new coach for Dallas County, while Bertrum Crum took over the reigns at Southside High School.
Both coaches were named to their new posts late in the summer and had little time to install their systems before the season started, which might have led to extremely disappointing debuts for both coaches.
No. 9: Glasscock out as
Meadowview coach
In the midst of a 1-7 season on the gridiron, Meadowview Christian School decided to relinquish John Glasscock of his head coaching duties.
Glasscock was removed from his post prior to the rojan's gameagainst Cornerstone Christian Academy.
Meadowview Christian headmaster Miriam Anderson said football coach and athletic director hiring decisions are made by the school's board of directors.
Glasscock said he was asked to step down, and his coaching style did not fit Meadowview.
"I was asked to step down and my coaching philosophy and my coaching style did not fit the Meadowview family," Glasscock said. "They asked me to step down and I did."
No. 10: Morgan head football coach Brian King resigns
Morgan Academy head coach Brian King told school officials in late November of his plans to leave at the end of the school year and told his players just days later.
"It was tough to tell them [players] I was leaving," King said. "Some of them took it hard, but they understood why I made this decision."
King became engaged late last year and plans to move to Jackson, Miss. and hopes to continue coaching as he completes his teaching certification and start a family.
The Senators advanced to the AISA Class 3A state semifinal game, before losing to Glenwood.

Australian Aboriginal Song Language: So Many Questions, So Little to Work With
Walsh, Michael, Australian Aboriginal Studies
Recent years have seen a significant upturn in research activity into Indigenous song language. We now have teams of researchers including anthropologists, linguists and musicologists engaged in longer-term song language projects. This paper seeks to outline that activity and suggest lines of inquiry for future research. To that end, I pose a series of questions to raise what are regarded as some of the more important issues to be addressed now and in the future.
Song texts may be short but they are often tricky (Barwick 2006a:57)
Twenty years ago Margaret Clunies Ross (1987:3) remarked in the introduction to an important collection of papers, Songs of Aboriginal Australia, that: 'Only within the last decade have linguists begun to pay much attention to the subject [Aboriginal song]'.
My intention is to recall the state of the art twenty years ago, then review what has been learnt about Australian Aboriginal song language over the last twenty years and to suggest some ideas for best practice in the documentation and analysis of Australian Aboriginal song language. The following examples of song texts should clarify why the title announces 'so little to work with'.
Three examples of song texts
I present examples of song texts to demonstrate some of the special difficulties in approaching language in song. The first example is from central Australia and was cited by Barwick (2000:329):
Warumungu wakiriji larrana wakiriji larra wakiriji larrana wakirifi larra mangkkuru larrana mangkkuru larra mangkkuru larrana mangkkuru larra gloss: wakiriji 'mulga'; mangkkuru 'black soil plain'; larrana and larra 'just for song' lie vocables]
This song text consists of just four different words, two of which are so-called vocables, that is, expressions which only appear in song and have no meaning. This leaves just two contentful words: wakiriji, 'mulga'; mangkkuru, 'black soil plain'. The interpretation of the song is likely to present a rich range of associations, but teasing out these interpretations is painstaking work and, clearly, one cannot come to such a song text cold and hope to glean anything approaching the richness of these song traditions. Indeed such apparently elliptical songs receive interpretations from singers during performances so that a better understanding of the song text can be built up by collecting interpretations from many performances over time.
The second example is a Murriny Patha song from the Top End of the Northern Territory (Barwick, Blythe et al. 2006) Djanba song 11 (transcription and gloss by Joe Blythe, 1 November 2005):
ngarim thakuny marramarda nyinirda karrirndurtuy bee_Sp left progeny that_place 3sS. 3_stand. Exist.dig.redup
'Kardu Ngarim, son of Thakuny, is digging holes at that place.'
With five meaningful words this song text has a little more to work with, but once again most of the following interpretation is not directly recoverable from the song text in isolation. The accompanying text (Barwick, Blythe et al. 2006) reads:
This text refers to a particular djanba ancestor, named Kardu Ngarim ('Bee Man'--kardu being the nominal classifier for humans). With the animate nominal classifier ku, ngarim is also the name of a species of native bee with a yellow body, also known as ku tiriwun. Kardu Ngarim is the son of another djanba, Mayamunggum, nicknamed Thakuny 'left-handed'. Ngarim is digging at a particular place. Most of the species of native bee found around Wadeye make ku tjithay 'honey' (or 'sugarbag' in Australian Aboriginal English). Ku ngarim sugarbag bees are one of the main totems for the Kunybinyi clan estate, which is where djanba ancestors reside and where Dimirnin clanspeople return when they die. Each clan estate has several ngakumarl ('totems', or 'dreamings'), which are associated with particular nguguminggi 'creation sites' within the estate. …

A West Texas A&M University student might have been the victim of an on-campus sexual assault over the weekend, according to a release from WT's University Police Department.
About 4 a.m. Monday, a University Police Department detective responded to a report that a female WT student was at Northwest Texas Hospital following a possible sexual assault, the release said.
The woman told campus police she was sexually assaulted Sunday morning at a WT dorm by a male student after attending an off-campus party, the release said.
The victim and suspect were acquainted, according to the release, and alcohol is thought to be a factor.
The victim has not filed a police report, the release said.
If she does, University Police Department will conduct an investigation and present its findings to the Randall County District Attorney's Office.
This incident is the second sexual assault report made to campus police during 2014, Lt. Patrick Coggins said. Investigators determined the first report was unfounded, he said.
Last year, campus police received two reports of on-campus sexual assaults. In one case, the suspect was arrested and police turned the case over to the district attorney's office. The other case was suspended due to lack of investigative leads, Coggins said.
WT has begun a Title IX investigation as required by federal law, according to the release.
University police and the university's Title IX program conduct independent investigations following reports of potential Title IX violations, including sexual assaults, said Harvey Hudspeth, WT's Title IX coordinator.
If investigators conclude a student has violated the code of conduct, he or she could face corrective action, up to and including temporary or permanent suspension, he said.
People with information regarding this incident are asked to contact WT's police department at 806-651-2300.

May 4, 2016
A 25-year growth plan is being developed by the South Georgia Regional Development Council, and will cover everything from roads to business to schools around Valdosta.
Planners say they want ideas to define the quality of life needs for the next generation.
Anne-Marie Wolf, Regional Planner, says, "We're looking at the technical details to make sure we can provide people with a high quality of life, then we're looking at the emotional side of it, in what types of entertainment and cultural options would you like to see in your community, and that's why we need citizens to come out."
The planning meeting on the metro Valdosta area takes place Tuesday at 5:30 at the Lowndes County Administrative Building. Everyone is encouraged to attend.

Can a 1966 Mustang make you feel young? Maybe. Knowing you helped kidney patients in need can make you feel wonderful.
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Let your old car put more green in your 2014 tax return. Donate your car to the NKF. It's tax deductible, and it does not even have to run!
Your old car may be a bucket of rust to you, but it can be a real lucky charm for millions of kidney patients. Donate today http://www.kidneycars.org or call 800.488.CARS (2277)
Tax Time Already? Write off more in 2014!
If you ended up owing Uncle Sam in 2013, now is the perfect time to make a charitable donation for 2014. If you have an old truck, car, van, motorcycle, boat–basically anything with four wheels–donate it to the National Kidney Foundation's Kidney Cars program.
The National Kidney Foundation's Kidney Cars program has been the most trusted car donation program for more than 30 years. Each year, proceeds from donated vehicles pump millions of dollars into our life-saving services for kidney patients and those at risk.
Still need more reasons to donate? Here are a few…
- EASE: The NKF's car donation process is easy. You can donate online, or call 800.488.2277 and talk with one of our car donation experts. You can speak with someone from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday EST. or online http://www.KidneyCars.org
- EXPERTISE: Our car donations experts help hundreds of donors every day with title problems. They even help with tax issues or any other problem you might have including replacing lost titles.
- EXPEDIENCE: Most vehicles can be picked up within 24 hours of making your call. In two weeks you will receive a proof of donation letter for your tax purposes.
- EXPERIENCE: We were the very first charity to accept donated cars as charitable donations, and have been for more than 30 years.
- ENJOYMENT: You will enjoy knowing that your donation helped people in your state with kidney disease and their families.
Kidney Cars named among 'Most Popular Car Donation Charities that Will Maximize Your Tax Deduction'
In a recent article from CarsDirect.com, the National Kidney Foundation was named as one of three popular charities that will maximize your tax deduction–and we do!
Donated cars are sold at auction to car dealers, and the proceeds are used to support the National Kidney Foundation's awareness, prevention and treatment programs.
The auctions take place online, making it possible for anyone anywhere to view the car being auctioned. Potential buyers can see the car ahead of time, and view photos of the car's interior and exterior, and get a sense of its overall condition.
This increased visibility creates greater competition for donated cars, which means higher sales per vehicle. Unlike the auctions Kidney Cars go through, that may be small and local, other charity car donors may only a few people attend the auction. More bidders, more to write off!
When you make your car a Kidney Car, you help people like Karen & Valerie
People who donate their cars to the National Kidney Foundation help make a real difference in the lives of kidney patients and their families. Nearly 80% of all the proceeds from donated vehicles go directly to the National Kidney Foundation's programs.
Meet Valerie and Karen, two people whose lives have been touched by donated cars. They have been best friends for nearly four decades. You can hear the gratitude in Valerie's voice when she describes the way Karen changed her life forever bu donating her kidney. Hear their story by clicking on the image below.
Help us continue to make a difference for millions of Americans with kidney disease. Tell someone you know about Kidney Cars. The December 31 charitable-giving deadline will be here before you know it. Donated vehicles are tax deductible and towing is free, click here for more information.
Actress Katey Sagal on why you should make your used car a Kidney Car!
Actress Katey Sagal is a TV legend. Her career has spans decades and now she is Gema, the tough talking Mama, on Sons of Anarchy, FX's runaway hit.
We are honored to have her show her support for the National Kidney Foundation's Car Donation Program, Kidney Cars.
We hope you will donate your car, truck, van, or motorcycle by Dec. 31, the 2013 tax deadline online at http://www.KidneyCars.org

|Daytrotter's Barnstormer Tour Closes in Maquoketa on April 30 - Page 2

The Romany Rye: Non-Good Good
Luke MacMaster shouldn't be on the Barnstormer tour. He shouldn't have written, recorded, and released the Romany Rye's debut album (Highway 1, Looking Back Carefully) in 2009. And he sure as hell shouldn't be on the cover of Rolling Stone – a remote possibility, but a possibility nonetheless because of the magazine's current readers-put-a-band-on-the-cover contest.
"I never really expected to be the frontman, lead singer, or writer of a band," MacMaster said in a phone interview last week. "I was only supposed to play guitar in a band."
When he left his previous band – the rock group the Colour – four years ago, he thought he was done with music. He said that band had signed one of the last "pretty big deals" with a record label (the EMI subsidiary Re:think), but things didn't go well. The label had an old-school mentality – pushing radio instead of the Internet – and that caused a rift in the band. "When it became the most miserable place to even hang out, I was like, 'All right, I'm done,'" he said. He stored his guitar at his parents' house and moved to L.A.
But after a few months, the songs started coming. "I don't even remember doing it," he said. "I really don't. The next thing you know, I had written and I was singing that song 'All the Boys.'" It was about his experiences of being in the Colour, and he said it was the first song he'd written front-to-back.
Then more songs came, and then he had enough for an album, and then he recorded them with Delta Spirit's Kelly Winwrich. The musical aesthetic, he said, "was a little vague until we actually recorded them." But what emerged on the Romany Rye's Highway 1 is a confident, unforced roots/folk rock that's casually compelling in its songwriting and performance even though its creator is modest about his talents.
"I kind of feel like I fit in that non-good good thing," MacMaster said, name-dropping Tom Petty, Neil Young, and Leonard Cohen as models for his simple, somewhat artless style. "I'm not the best musician, I don't feel like I have a gift for melody or any of those things. So the only way that I can actually write and continue to write and play music is just let whatever falls out fall out. I can't force anything out, I can't be anything else besides me. ... I don't have a choice. I'm not good enough to go, 'I want to make a song that sounds like this.'"
MacMaster called his writing process "the diet": "When you have a chance, when you're not on tour, ... you go home and you're not drinking and you're not getting stoned, you're not doing anything but reading and writing." Then you "regurgitate that in your own way." For the upcoming Quicksilver Sunbeam, MacMaster said, his diet included Hemingway and poetry by Bukowski, and the songs reflect a dichotomy of the road – both the romance and realities. (The Romany Rye, Paste magazine wrote, "embodies a sound that recalls an America viewed through a road-trip car window.")
After he released Highway 1, MacMaster assembled a proper band. Kings of Leon's Matthew Followill has championed the Romany Rye, and he even put up half the money for its tour van. And Quicksilver Sunbeam is ready to go. (The Rolling Stone contest put label-shopping on hold; Atlantic has an option to sign participants.)
While Highway 1 was essentially a solo record, the new one makes room for MacMaster's collaborators. There's "more of an overall focus on the interaction between the playing," he said. "We needed to really figure out a place a time and place for each individual member to shine, and really be a band."
MacMaster said that the Romany Rye initially chose not to participate in the Rolling Stone cover contest (RollingStone.com/choosethecover), fearing a stigma of being a "contest band." ("'They didn't make it there on their own.' ... Just that whole American Idol mindset," MacMaster said. "Maybe it was just pride on my end.")
But the band reconsidered and made it to the second round. "It's a lot of free press," MacMaster said. "And these days it doesn't really matter how you get in front of people."
Based on Tweets and Facebook "likes," it appeared unlikely early this week that the Romany Rye will advance beyond the round of eight. (Third-round participants will be announced April 27.) And MacMaster said that's fine with him, calling it "more of a win-win situation for us anyways. ... We don't really want to end up anywhere that they would want us to end up."
The Daytrotter Barnstormer tour comes to the Codfish Hollow Barn (3437 288th Avenue in Maquoketa, Iowa) on Saturday, April 30. Performers include Sondre Lerche, Guards, the Romany Rye, Keegan DeWitt, ARMS, Mike & the Moonpies, and Hands. The show starts at 6 p.m., and tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door.

W8... really?
Ok this one will probably be downvoted to oblivion.
I use Windows 8 on three machines daily, 2 for work and one for home use. All three are multicore machines with SSD boot drves, all three were previously Windows 7 and all three perform better and more reliably under 8. I actually had to go and google a windows 8 BSOD to see what it looked like, never seen one. Boot times are ridiculously low, much faster than 7 and TIFKAM is history as I have boot to desktop and Startisback installed. I'm not a novice user and I delve into the nether regions of hardware/drivers/registry whenever required. The reorganisation of aspects of the W8 interface, whilst initially irritating soon disappears when you get used to it, as we all had to do in almost every version of windows since 1.0 (that one was installed, messed with and immediately consigned to the trash). TIFKAM should have been an option selectable if you had a touch screen, I wonder what the reception to 8 would have been if M$ had done this instead of forcing its use on everyone.

Fried-egg sarnies kick off Reg man's quid-a-day nosh challenge
gone with the Scottish soup, 2lbs each of potatoes (£1.30), carrots (69p) and one swede (65p). One smoked ham hough (£1), 1 onion (19p), lentils (45p) or barley (60p). Boil the ham hough in the largest pot you have in lots of water until the meat is falling off the bone. Remove the bone and skin then add the grated carrots and turnip, the chopped onion and the lentils/barley bring back to the boil. Simmer until the lentils/barley are nearly done add diced potatoes and water if needed and simmer until potatoes are done season with salt (taste it first) and pepper, serve in the largest bowl you have with bread. Should be enough for at least four days. Make sure you boil it every day otherwise it will ferment and taste kinda funky and cause all sorts of gaseous emanations from you, lay in a supply of loo roll, very high in fibre! This is also a cure-all for New Year hangovers, tattie soup!
Ten Windows 8 Ultrabooks
Re: Too expensive
Actually closer to 2.5 Kg, and about 1.5" thick, besides my use of my laptop is not on the move. It is invariably on the couch or at my desk, lugging the thing to work is not that big a deal as it fits snugly into my rather large briefcase anyway. Meeting my needs is what I do at the minimum expenditure, these "Ultrabooks" don't do that for me. And in answer to Eadon I wouldn't give Apple so much as a sou of my hard earned cash for their slant on overpriced kit with underwhelming performance.
Too expensive
I'm not spending that sort of dosh for something that is 'sexy', give me performance and value and I'll think about it. MY 5 year old lenovo Y550 (cost ₤450 with about ₤100 in upgrades spent on it since) is more than adequate for my mobile needs and will continue to be so until something not easily replaced on it dies. When it does die I will not be looking at ₤1000 replacements.

Gartner: RIP PCs - tablets will CRUSH you this year
Not so much
that the tablets will crush the PC, more that the PC has plateaued in terms of performance v software, i.e. there is little or no need to upgrade a 3 year old PC because it is still more than up to its task. Consequently users will spend their beer tokens on something else. If the PC manufacturers want to boost their sales someone has to come up with a real memory/processor hog of a killer app. The PCs are still out there, their tasks that tablets can do will be taken over by tablet wielding users but the PC will still be sitting there on the desktop when you need some real crunching to be done.

iPads in education: Not actually evil, but pretty close

Seems to be about to plunge down the iPad slope, the bids offered from various suppliers were less than awe inspiring. The PC offerings were decidedly ordinary, HP netbook, fine for middle schoolers but a little diminutive when handled by a 200lb linebacker.

Build a BONKERS gaming PC
Re: Willy Waving
My working desktop is a hex core with 32GB of DDR3, and 1.5 TB of storage. ridiculous for the tasks it is given, although I do some video compression/editing on it, but hey it was a lot cheaper than a snowmobile and I use it year round. Well that's what I tell the wife.
Re: Pastime
Hence the constant growth of my home server, the 8TB quoted above is actually only 4 TB of available storage with a complete mirror on the other 4 TB. I got caught once by a hard drive failure very early on in the life of this machine and it will not catch me out again! Mirror drives are only switched on during the backup process which is done once a week, or more often if I've been doing a lot of recording. PVR recordings and DVD iso's are space hungry, music and pictures are there also but are modest in their storage requirements.
Re: Pastime
You've been fortunate or judicious in your purchases, from my friends, associates and sundry people I see on average 2 or 3 a month with failed doodads, usually hard drives but not too infrequently some part of the motherboard.
Re: Multiple optimised systems
I use something similar, AMS modules are 4 in 3 modules that will accommodate 4 SATA drives in 3 5.25 slots, comes as a single unit into which 4 drive carriers can be separately inserted, the module slides into the PC case in the space of 3 external drives. They are very handy and individual drives are easily swapped out.
I do this when I'm bored, go to my favourite supplier's website and select stupidly specced components to get the most humongously over the top desktop. It is getting increasingly difficult to get a desktop over $10,000 without being completely ridiculous. I used to do a lot of builds for friends and relatives, but now I generally recommend that they buy an off the shelf if they are looking to save cash. I will do upgrades and specials for people but only when the realize that they aren't going to save money but they will gain reliability. I actually make more money from fixing off the shelf laptops etc that have had a component failure.
About 6 years ago I was in the position of buying the fully specced machine that I wanted. I cost me an arm and a leg, and I got a Case that had space for 15 drives, and could also be used as a backup nuclear shelter, nVidia 7300GT (this was an HTPC setup so no huge graphics needed), modular 850W PSU, 1TB in 250GB drives, Nvidia 4GB DDR2, Quad core Q6600 running at 2.4 GHz, with a dual tuner. Over the years I have changed the drives, first to 2TB in 500GB drives, then to 4TB in 500GB drives and then to 8 TB in 1TB drives, and the addition of an SSD as a boot drive, upgraded from XP MCE to Windows 7 Ultimate, everything else has pretty much stayed the same. This machine has been on 24/7 for the last 6 years, the investment in quality components was worth it, I'm sure with consumer grade Gateway/HP/lenovo/Whatever I would have been on my 3rd PC by now. At the time this rig coast about 150% what I' would have paid for an off the shelf close equivalent. So no money saved on the build but money saved over 6+ years of use. Even now the rig is more than up to its task and excluding component failure I see it lasting for at least another couple of years before I have to bite the bullet once again.

DHS bigwig 'adamantly opposed' to degree fetishism
Re: It is worse than that. You have to have the RIGHT degree
I agree with you. I have 3 degrees none from the right uni or indeed the right degree, I took my time over them with the 3 graduations spaced over 15 years. The concentration of the HR bods questions aren't about what I did during the process of obtaining the degrees but why it took so long. The reason it took so long is that I was working during the entire process of my Postgrad qualifications, not something they want to hear apparently. TBH I'd be more inclined to give the job to someone who had a breadth of relevant experience rather than a green graduate with the 'right' qualifications. I know that after my BSc that I didn't feel competent until I had a few years actual experience under my belt. Besides the number of arseholes you meet with PhDs seems to be relatively high when compared to the general population, just an observation no actual quantitative measurements involved.

Pretty Good
I've had one of these for about a month and overall it's pretty good. Only major issues I've found are similar to those in the review. The apps are a bit clunky, streaming is good for the most common filetypes and non existent for others, MKV and OGG files for example. Access from Android is better via a browser than the app, My only other major gripe is that you can't save network config details when you use it as a bridge. One other major oversight is that there is no manual on the drive or in the box and only after contacting support did I get a link to the pdf. This is the link http://ow.ly/h9tMH .

The First Interstellar War...or as the Cap Troopers called it, simply, The Bug War....
Would You Like To Know More?
Although the Terrans refer to the "Bugs" as Arachnids, they are not related to any Earth arachnid species and are more insectoid than arachnid in general form. However, first impressions are hard to overcome. After the nightmare attack on a defenseless Terran colony, the only survivors were convinced they were attacked by "a madman's conception of a giant, intelligent spider."
The history of the Arachnids is cloudy, but we believe it went something like this...
As the Arachnids evolved, the brain caste realized the world they had always known was no longer big enough for them. To this end they started ejecting queen eggs into space to seek out and colonize worlds by riding the cosmic currents. For 1000s of years they spread through their arm of the galaxy with no opposition. Infesting suitable planets and eradicating the former owners.
Eventually they ran into a race that had developed to the point of colonizing their own planets. This race was humanoid and had established colonies on 2 planets in their home system. After taking over one of their planets, the Arachnids came under attack from space by the former owners. This concept was foreign to them as it had never happened before in their races memory. Their brain caste engineered a queen egg that could live in space, and was released to seek out a airless asteroid or planetoid that they could colonize. This queen was able to breed a new class of space born warrior bugs. At 1st the new ship bugs were a basic fighting ship. More than capable of dealing with these new threats.
They spread further. Then they met the Tophets. The Tophets are a very advanced race, very close to the Terran Federation in technology, if not in civilization size. The Arachnids were driven back at 1st, but quickly bred newer ships that stood mandible to nose with the Tophets. Advanced as they were, the Skinnies, as the Terrans later came to call them, weren't a large enough race to defeat the bugs outright. Ultimately they entered a "alliance" with them. The bugs would not destroy them as long as they did what they were told. This concept was foreign to the bugs as well, but they realized they might eventually run into a greater threat than even they could deal with. Better to have the Skinnies as allies/slaves to help them than risk being caught in a war they couldn't win.
Enter the Terrans. The Federation is as big as the Arachnid empire and have an instinctive fear of bugs. Couple that with an advanced space military and technology and you have a big problem for the Arachnids. This new threat was so great that even forcing the skinnies to fight wouldn't be enough. New and bigger, more powerful warship were bred to combat this new threat to their total dominance of the galaxy.

Currently being developed by Starside R&D, this is a Total Conversion mod for the game Star Wars: EaW Forces of Corruption from Petroglyph Studios.
You decide who has the right to survive, the Terran Federation or the Arachnids and their allies, the Skinnies. It will include space & land skirmish and Galactic Conquest and is based on various aspects taken from the movie, animated TV series, and the original book.
Command your Forces in the silence of space or the roar of the battlefield, be it the Terran Federation or the Arachnid/Skinny Alliance. Use old favorites as well as brand new units developed for this conflict.

Quick Update. I haven't worked on this for probably at least a year but I have started a little bit of work recently.
First, as I'm sure this will disappoint a whole lot of people, the ground side is dead. I can't get the kind of help I need in that area. This includes modeling and animating ground units such as infantry and bugs. I can model of course, but it's just a hobby and I have no experience in that area. I'm really not willing to spend the time needed to learn by trial and error.
Second, I'm working on some of the new ships as seen in the up-coming Japanese CGI Starship Trooper show. I haven't decided whether to retire some of the current ships or just add to the current selection. I'm also going to be re-modeling some aspects of the current ships. Nothing drastic though.
Third, as with the Federal ships, the Arachnid ships will be re-visited. Mainly texture wise but I will also be adding units to the current Arachnid fleet for a more 1:1 balance against the Federals.
Forth, the Tophit/Skinnies will get a few ships added to the Arachnid fleet.
Fifth, the next release will include all of the above as well as Galactic Conquest but only if I can get the GC to work as space only.
Now, I'd like to thank all of my mod's trackers. I really appreciate that. It helps to know that while the SST universe doesn't get the same attention from the masses as some other genres, it does have it's devoted fans. I know a good proportion of you are wanting a ground side, and it's loss might be the final straw but I can't keep saying it's being worked on when it's not. It's not fair to you.
Finally, I need some input on a few things.
1: On the Federal ships I used a mesh to simulate an exhaust plume. Someone posted I was lazy for doing that but it actually was more work than just using the normal effect. I did this because of issues with how the round effects looked on the predominately square engines. I'm willing to re-visit it to see if I can use the round effects if this is the preferred look.
2: There's still a weird bug where when a Hero ship arrives, an explosion will occur on another ship. It only seems to happen with the arrival of Heroes. Anyone have any ideas? Does it happen on all maps?
3: I've seen posts of people having issues with launching the mod. The mod works. It works on 64bit Win 7 and 32bit Win XP systems. However, it was created using a store bought retail version of FoC. I'd like to hear if any people have been able to play this mod or any other FoC mod with the Steam or any other downloadable version. I'd like to figure out what the fix is for it. I know Steam uses a different download directory, which might be an issue.
That's it for now.
An update, such that it is. I have done nothing. I've dabbled, but nothing of substance. I've thought about things I should do, could do, but always there...
The mod is at a standstill until further notice. I haven't worked on it at all for the past 2 months and really don't see anything happening any time...
Just letting all interested that I'm still here and that the mod is still alive. ;)

So this mod is still being worked on? >_>
<3 This mod.
Great to see a update =D.
Humm, look very interesting. Might have to give this one a try...
C&C would be a good idea, but is it so versatile to allow the same space capacity & features that are native to a game like SWEAW?
Any case, you're doing a great job.
Excellent models, need as good textures now. ;)
A very good work, two thumbs up.
Keeeeeeppp it ooooonnn pleeeeaaaseeee.
Just to remark the fate that all SST mods had 'til now.
Don't be one more like them!
I think it would be very gratifing to be the very first to release a Complete SST mod :D
Tracking this, I hope this would not be just another delusion and failed occasion to have a good SST mod.
(Yes, I want to be sure you will think of it :P )
Great work at all.
"Would you like to know more?"
STARSHIP TROOPERS man i love starship troopers 1 and 2 are both almost at the top of my fav movie list
The first mod I ever was involved on, when I joined this mod I didn't even know how to make a cube in 3D Studio Max, how are things and is Panzer still involved with the project?
No, Panzer is not affiliated with this mod at all. Back in '07 I contacted him about taking over his SST mod since he had no more interest in pursuing it. At first he was helpful, giving me access to a lot of his concept art and images as well as saying he would send me all the model assets he claimed to still have. After several months of failed promises to send the models, he broke off contact in early '08. I initially gave up on the idea, but decided to start from scratch and since his mod had been archived, I was able to acquire the mod name. I also based the look and style of a lot of the ships on Iosys's model work with some added variations of my own.
Its fantastic to see you guys bringing this back to life, do you stay in contact with Iosys? I have not heard from him in years.
It's been a long time since I talked to the few former Team Storm members I was able to track down. I know Iosys has been active at ScifiMeshes or at least he was the last time I spoke to him but that's been at least a year ago.

May 2008: President's Message
May 2008
President's Message
Certification: An Industry Response to a Customer Request
Tom Daniel
President, Mason Contractors
Association of America
The recent rollout of the MCAA national certification program has been successful. We have contractors registering to qualify for the exam, and suppliers registering as approved providers of educational opportunities for the mason contractor. Together, the industry is working to help alleviate one of our customers' greatest concerns: quality of work.
During the initial phase of certification, we have heard from a number of long-time contractors who asked why they would need anyone to say they are qualified or certified to do masonry work when our company has been doing it successfully for more than 70 years? MCAA certainly understands these thoughts. However, you must remember that certification is not being done for us in the industry; it is being done to help give direction to the end user in the selection process. Certification will be a tool that architects and owners can utilize in the bidding process to weed out unqualified contractors.
As a contractor, I share in the frustration of working hard on bids, only to have a contractor (who clearly has no business bidding on the work) bid way under the bids of every other legitimate contractor. We all would see this low bid as a red flag and know the architect and owner should throw out the bid, because it simply can't be done that cheaply. However, all too often, the end user will select the low bid (which is way off the rest of the bids) and encounter significant problems on the job. The contractor will take short cuts or may go out of business before the project is complete, leaving the owner with quite a mess on his hands. These experiences give our entire industry a black eye. Certification gives the end users a tool to eliminate these potential issues.
Certification was developed to help those who are not in the industry make wise choices in selecting a contractor. As a fair and equitable program, certification requires all to complete the basic requirements. This includes those who have served on code and standard committees for 30 years, to those who serve on the certification committee that developed the requirements and helped put together the test.
Ultimately, the goal of certification is to help reclaim lost market share by giving the end users tools they can easily use to select quality contractors. Certification is not about companies within the industry trying to impress one another by who is and is not certified. It is an industry response to a customer request to help define quality.
I would encourage contractors who have not yet registered and suppliers who have not become providers to do so today. You may contact the MCAA office today to register for certification. Certification is open to all mason contractors, not just MCAA members.

In New York, a man walks home from work and goes home to his apartment. It starts raining out and he tries to close his jammed window without success. A dove lands on the windowsill, drops a postcard, and flies away. The mystery man checks the postcard and discovers that it shows the clock tower in Storybrooke, and has the word "broken" written on the back.
Once Upon a Time
Prince Phillip and an armored woman warrior ride up to Phillip's former castle, now in ruins. They go inside and find Princess Aurora, sleeping atop a bier. Phillip tells him comrade that if his kiss works then they will tell Aurora everything and then kisses his beloved. True love breaks the spell and Aurora wakes up. She wonders why the castle is in disrepair and Phillip tells her that they must rebuild the castle. He assures her that their people are safe and that Maleficent no longer poses a danger to anyone.
As the purple mists dissipate from the streets of Storybrooke, Mary-Margaret and David realize who they really are and the love that they share. They check on the other townspeople and find first Granny and Ruby, and then the seven dwarves. Everyone bows to their queen and king as Emma and Henry arrive. Mary-Margaret and David embrace their daughter and Henry calls David "grandfather." The Mother Superior, aware that she is the Blue Fairy, arrives and says that magic broke the curse that held Storybrooke in sway. When Henry asks her to help them, she admits that she has no powers and can do nothing. They go to look for Regina, figuring that she's responsible, but Emma says that it wasn't her.
At the magic well, Gold asks Belle how she came to be imprisoned and the woman explains that Regina abducted her and left her in an insane asylum. Gold is furious that Regina tried to use Belle against him but she makes him promise that he won't give into his hate. Gold reluctantly promises that he won't kill Regina and they kiss.
In Storybrooke, the group goes to Regina's house and Mary-Margaret tries to get Emma to talk about what's happened. Emma avoids discussing it, saying that she needs time. Archie runs to find them and warns that Dr. Whale has created a mob to find Regina and they realize that they need to stop the mob before Regina destroys them with her magic.
Once Upon a Time
While the warrior paces outside, waiting for Phillip and Aurora, she notices a crack in the flooring. As the warrior goes to investigate, a wraith bursts out of the ground and attacks. Phillips hears the noise and runs outside, slashing at the wraith. He cuts off the amulet it wears around its neck and it flies away, and Phillip warns Aurora that it's something bad. He picks up the amulet and holds it in his hand.
Gold goes back to the pawnshop with Belle and tells her that he's going in the back to find her something to wear. However, once he's alone, he removes the wraith's necklace from a case.
Regina comes out to confront the mob at her doorstep, unphased by their anger. Whale tells her that they plan to make her suffer as she made them suffer, and she gestures, trying to cast a spell. The mob cowers back but Regina discovers that her magic no longer works. Emma and the others arrive and Emma tells them to stop. David reminds the townspeople that Emma saved their lives and should listen to them. Whale insists that they don't have to follow human laws because they aren't from the human world, but David points out that they live there now. He wonders who Whale is but the doctor says that it's none of his business. Mary-Margaret takes a more practical approach, warning them that they won't be able to get answers from Regina's corpse, and suggests that they lock her up.
At the jail, Emma and the others lock Regina up and wonder why breaking the curse didn't send them back to their land of origin. Regina tells them that they didn't go back because the curse destroyed it and there's nothing for them to go back to. They go to talk to Gold and Regina tries to use her magic to open the lock without success. Gold comes in and tells her that she can't use her magic because magic works differently in the real world. When Regina wonders if he's there to kill him, Gold tells her that he promised Belle that he wouldn't kill her. However, since Regina sentenced Belle to a fate worse than death, he has the same thing planned for her. He grabs her hand through the bars and slaps the amulet onto the palm.
Once Upon a Time
The warrior woman removes her mask and introduces herself to Aurora as Mulan. Phillip explains that they journeyed together and fought many threats, and Mulan warns them that the wraith, a Qui Shen in her people's legends, marks its victims and then rains their souls, damning them for all eternity. Since the wraith didn't mark any of them, they should be safe. As she walks away, Phillip hides the mark of the amulet on his palm from Aurora.
Gold goes to the forest and uses the dagger bearing his true name to summon the wraith from the amulet.
At the jail, Regina looks at her hand in horror and realizes that the brand of the amulet is now visible.
The wraith flies off into the sky in search of its victim.
Emma has Ruby take Henry off for safety and then tries to avoid Mary-Margaret, who wants to talk about all the things they shared when they weren't aware that they were mother and daughter. Emma admits that she's having trouble getting over the fact that her parents sent her away for 28 years, no matter how good the reason. When Mary-Margaret points out that Emma would have been trapped in Storybrooke with the rest of them if they hadn't sent her away, Emma says that at least they would have been together and then goes to find Gold.
Once Upon a Time
Phillip, Aurora, and Mulan leave the castle and make camp for the night. Mulan warns the others that the wraith hunts at night because it fears the light, which is what drove it off earlier. Aurora tries to talk to Phillip, who avoids her for fear of giving away how he's been marked. He gives her one passionate kiss, explaining that he's making up for lost time, and then leaves... believing it's the last time they will see each other.
Emma, Mary-Margaret, and David go to the pawnshop and confront Gold, who cheerfully welcomes them in. When they accuse him of helping Regina inadvertently curse Henry and setting magic loose to destroy them, he points out that Henry is alive, the curse is broken, and Emma and her parents are together. When they wonder why he broke the curse, Gold refuses to answer. The town suddenly shakes as darkness sweeps over the town and Gold tells them that he's taking care of Regina for them. As they go back to the jail, Emma warns Gold that they're not done. He agrees and reminds her that she still owes him a favor. Once they leave, Belle comes out from the back room, realizing what he's done. Gold insists that he kept to the letter of his promise and that he won't kill Regina. Belle accuses him of toying with words like he has always toyed with people and tells him that he's still a man who makes the wrong choices. Gold tries to apologize but Belle angrily walks out of the shop.
Once Upon a Time
As night falls in the forest, Mulan and Aurora hear the wraith in the distance and discover that Phillip has slipped away, taking the horses with him. Mulan realizes that Phillip bears the wraith's mark and goes to find him. when Aurora insists on going, Mulan tells the princess that she would only slow her down an goes away before Aurora can catch up to her.
The wraith flies into the jail, breaking open the cell door and draining Regina's soul. The others arrive and David hits the wraith, driving it back momentarily. Mary-Margaret uses hair spray as a flamethrower and drives the wraith out of the building, but Regina warns that it will come back once it has regenerated, and that there is no way to kill a creature that is dead. David is happy to leave Regina alone and let her pay for her sins, but Emma refuses to break her promise to Henry to keep Regina alive. When Mary-Margaret wonders what they can do, Regina says that they have to send it away to somewhere that it can't hurt anyone.
The group goes to the mayor's office and she takes out Jefferson's hat from the case. She asks Emma if Henry really asked her to protect the mayor, and Emma says that he did. Emma says that she recognizes the hat as belonging to Jefferson but Regina claims that she doesn't know the man. As David and Mary-Margaret make torches, Regina tells them that she can use the hat to send the wraith into oblivion by creating a portal to the destroyed world that they came from.
Once Upon a Time
Mulan tracks Phillip through the woods and aurora catches up to her, having found one of the missing horses. The princess insists on going but Mulan tells her that Phillip understands sacrifice and that he is sacrificing himself to keep Aurora from harm. Aurora stares at Mulan closely and then tell the warriors that she recognizes love when she sees it, but Mulan insists that she isn't in love with Phillip.
The wraith returns to the attack and flies into the mayor's office. David holds it off with a torch and Mary-Margaret uses alcohol to create a flame barrier, while Regina tries and fails to make the hat work.
Once Upon a Time
Mulan and Aurora find Phillip as the wraith closes in. Mulan asks for the amulet, volunteering to mark herself and let the wraith take her so that Aurora and Phillip can have each other. He refuses and Aurora says that she doesn't want to live without her beloved. Phillip turns to confront the wraith and invites it to attack him. it drains his soul and reenters the amulet, while Aurora goes to her beloved's body.
Regina is unable to get her magic to work... until Emma takes her hand. The portal spell works and the wraith is sucked into it as it grasps at Regina. Emma shoves the mayor out of the way and falls into the portal, and a desperate Mary-Margaret jumps in, refusing to lose her daughter again. David tries to dive into the portal but it closes, leaving him sprawled on the floor.
Once Upon a Time
Mulan and Aurora take Phillip back to Aurora's castle and put him on the bier where the princess once rested. Aurora tells the warrior that she knows about sacrifice and that she made her own sacrifice to make her kingdom. Relenting, Mulan puts the amulet in a bag and gives it to Aurora, saying that she should keep it.
Regina tells David that she has no idea where Mary-Margaret and Emma have gone. When he tries to choke her, Regina casts him back with a spell, binding him to the wall. She prepares to kill him just as Henry and Ruby come in. Regina releases David and tells Henry what has happened to his birth mother and grandmother. She says that she's sorry but Henry doesn't believe her and says that she really is the Evil Queen. Desperate to regain his love, Regina insists that she cares and Henry tells her to prove it by bringing Emma and Mary-Margaret back. Until then, he refuses to have anything to do with her. When Regina wonders where he'll go, David offers to take care of the boy and leaves with Henry.
Gold is surprised to discover that Belle has come back to the pawnshop. He tells her that Belle is still alive and she wonders if he got what he wanted. Gold says that it remains to be seen and Belle notices the chipped teacup from their other world. She's surprised that he still has it and Gold tells her that it's the only thing in the shop that he truly cherishes. Belle is clearly willing to stay but Gold tells her that she should go because he's still a monster no matter what she believes of him. Smiling, Belle tells him that's the very reason that she has to stay with him.
David takes Henry to Mary-Margaret's apartment and assures him that he knows that Mary-Margaret and Emma are still alive. He promises to find them because he will always find them.
Once Upon a Time
Mulan tells Aurora that much has changed since she went into her cursed sleep. Aurora was only unconscious for a year, but in that time the land was frozen for 28 years when Queen Regina cast a curse and sent most of the inhabitants away to somewhere unknown. Something recently has weakened the curse, freeing Phillip and Mulan, and they set out to find Aurora. The ravaged land is now filled with hideous beasts but the few that were left behind have found a safe haven.
The two women hear something moving outside in the rubble from the wraith's first attack and go to investigate. They find what Mulan believes is the cause of the wraith's attack: an unconscious Emma and Mary-Margaret.
