Facebook vs Google: Our Worlds at War
Mark Zuckerberg announced Facebook's new search feature on Tuesday. It's a bold step into Google's territory, a bolder move into Yelp's and, as you might guess, it's perfectly terrifying. Essentially, your entire friend network (and friends-of-friends network) is about to become searchable. Google-like. You can just search, say, "people who live in Chicago who like Walking Dead and musical theater" and, boom, you can start casting that zombie-themed Glee parody you've been working on. That's pretty cool, but you could also search, say, how often your ex-girlfriend's gotten together with any random dude. And if you haven't updated your privacy controls lately, you might want to consider it—this thing is a spammer's dream come true ...

1UP: You've been really vague about Rage's story in the past, and you've said that you've finished the story -- tell us a little bit about it.
TW: You play a survivor from the past; one of many people placed inside a "cryo-ark" buried safely beneath the surface. The plan was that when it was safe to return to the surface, after the impact winter and the dust settled, your ark would emerge, and you would then work with the other ark inhabitants to rebuild society. But that plan went haywire. More people survived the impact than anyone predicted, and those survivors rebuilt society on their own without a government, without laws or rules. When your ark emerges and you begin the game, you discover a world that is much different than what you expected -- much harsher, much more dangerous. There are a number of different factions that are vying for control in the wasteland. There are settlers, mutants, and different clans of bandits, all fighting to survive and for control.
As the game begins, the first thing you need to do in this world is learn to survive on your own. Then you must work with the settlers against the bandits and mutants. Ultimately, you will align yourself with a small resistance group fighting against a mysterious force in the wasteland called the "Authority" -- a regime-like government bent on controlling everything.
1UP: How much of the combat is vehicle-based, and how much is FPS-based? I think gamers are still confused. Is it a shooter? Is it a car-combat game?
TW: I think that last year at QuakeCon, we spoke too much about percentages and stuff, and it sort of put us in a bad position. Some website -- I think it was GameSpy -- listed Rage as "vehicle combat," which isn't the case. One of our goals during QuakeCon and Games Convention is to kind of fix the message. [Laughs] The game is a first-person action game. It has some driving elements to it, but that's not the focus of the game. There're racing elements, but it's not a racing game. We've worked hard to get the story to fit with the universe. Why would [the player character] have to race? Why would he have to drive around the wasteland? We wanted to work the story into it. We worked hard to try to align the first-person action. That's why, with the vehicle combat and the racing, it feels arcadey and as fun as possible. It's not a racing simulation -- it's driving fun and vehicle-combat fun. But again, your vehicles in Rage are both gameplay elements and a means to an end when travelling through the wasteland.
1UP: Are you talking multiplayer yet?
TW: We're not talking multiplayer yet. Our goal is to focus more on cooperative [gameplay] than competitive [gameplay]. We've got Doom and Quake, and we have all these other IPs that have competitive multiplayer. But for Rage, we want to focus more on cooperative.
1UP: This is the first game released on the id Tech 5 engine. Are you going to give the tools to the community right away so players who want to make a pure racing game or a pure shooter can do so?
TW: Historically -- and id Tech 5 is no different -- the editor and all the tools ship with the game. One of the cool things about id Tech 5 is the new id Studio, which incorporates the animation, level design, and all that stuff. You can pull all of the content inside id Studio and go. The challenge that the mod community will have with Rage and, really, with all of the new Unreal Engine games is that content creation at its core has become more difficult. You have to have high- and low-quality models, and you need to be prolific with Photoshop to make these wastelands. The tools are easier, but the skill that it takes to make the medium has become much more difficult. But with the tracks that we have with Rage, and the way that we have the scripting and the layered technology for the different mission areas, it should allow for modders to have fun with the game.
1UP: What's going on with Quake Wars? I think you guys are due for an expansion. What do you think?
TW: [Sighs] Well, again, that's one thing. If the market would support it -- we may do it.
1UP: Were you happy with how Quake Wars turned out?
TW: It was more difficult than we would have liked, which is one of the reasons why we're building a Doom team -- to get the control back at id. Those games were, to be honest, a struggle to get done and out.
1UP: On the PC side or the console side?
TW: Well, [on the] the consoles, especially, but even the PC [side as well]. The distance that we had between us and Splash Damage -- because they are in the U.K. -- was difficult. There were challenges, and that's one of the reasons why we want to build the Doom team up, to bring it inside. Publishers that we spoke with were more favorable to that approach.

"I love this Thank You card! A simple thank you, a name and small photo....all done so perfectly! Another great product from Tiny Prints!! My favorite place to shop for all my special occasions!!!"
"This was the perfect thank-you card! I prefer a flat card over folded and this card has just enough room on the front to write a personalized thank-you note. The picture is small, so I suggest using a face close-up. Very cute!"
"We purchased this product about a year ago with a picture of our 2 little ones; we received so many compliments on this product that we decided to order some as a Christmas gift for one of our nieces who's 10yrs old. We think she'll love using it to write personal notes to her friends! Can't wait to see her reaction. I like adding a b&w pic to the area and since the picture is small, it doesn't look cheesy! Looking fwd to ordering more for our 2 little ones who are a year older now."
"Great for writing short notes to keep in touch. I was writing with a ball point and the notes smudged a few times, though. Be careful of where you place your hands when writing."

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
"You will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand." (Psalm 16:11 NLT)
I mentioned yesterday that it's quite a privilege to have a quiet time. We get to have an audience with the king of the universe, the creator of everything.
What makes our quiet times such a privilege that we wouldn't want to consider missing it? Here are four miraculous things that happen when we spend time with God.
1. You get to give God your devotion. "Look at me. I stand at the door. I knock. If you hear me call and open the door, I'll come right in and sit down to supper with you" (Revelation 3:20, MSG). He's your creator, redeemer, provider, sustainer, counselor, and comforter. God deserves our worship. We'd have nothing without God. Better yet, God wants your devotion, too! He wants to spend time with you.
2. God gives you direction. "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long" (Psalm 25:4-5 NIV). You and I need direction on a daily basis. God wants to give that direction to you, but to get the direction you must spend time with him. Your quiet time gives you an opportunity to get a daily mid-course correction in your life.
3. You gain delight in God. "You will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand" (Psalm 16:11 NLT). Spending time with God will actually make you happier. Your quiet time is when you enjoy God. Knowing God is the secret to joy.
4. You grow to be more like God. The more time you spend with God, the godlier you become. Spend time watching television, and your character will be shaped by the people you're watching. Spend time studying God's Word and with him in prayer, and your character will be shaped by the character of Christ.
Are you spending time with God every day? Do it, and it will be the best decision you've ever made.

Why It Makes Jesus Cry When UnitedHealthcare Screws People

Health insurance companies have been remarkably brazen of late. Are they confident enough that they have killed health insurance reform that they can operate with impunity?

Professional Atheist Dawkins Now Insulting Muslims
Atheist-for-hire and Oxford University Professor Richard Dawkins has managed to outrage yet another religion after calling Muslims "barbarians," the Daily Mail reported.
Dawkins, whose "The God Delusion" declared that a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist and that belief in a personal god qualifies as a delusion ("when one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion."), Dawkins was condemning the severe damage caused by Islamist extremists to a sacred library in Timbuktu, Mali, telling his 600,000 Twitter followers on Tuesday: "Like Alexandria, like Bamiyan, Timbuktu's priceless manuscript heritage destroyed by Islamic barbarians."
On Monday it was reported that Islamists burned down the Ahmed Baba Institute library, with its priceless manuscripts and artifacts. The source for the reports was Timbuktu's mayor Ousmane Halle, who said: "They torched all the important ancient manuscripts. The ancient books of geography and science. It is the history of Timbuktu, of its people."
But a source in the University of Cape Town insisted on Wednesday that the extremists had only had time to damage or steal a few manuscripts, before they were forced out of Timbuktu.
Timbuktu residents reported that there was no destruction of any library or collection, according to Cape Town U., which has sponsored a modern facility to house the precious manuscripts.
Richard Dawkins is an equal opportunity insultor, and last year U.K. Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks last year condemned a "profoundly anti-Semitic" comment in Professor Dawkins's "The God Delusion" which likened the God portrayed in Jewish texts to a fictional villain.
Dawkins responded at the time that he was "anti-God," not "anti-Jewish," calling Rabbi Sacks accusation "ridiculous."Yori Yanover

BEREA, Ohio--Rob Chudzinski tried to get Greg Little's attention, but Little already knew what was coming.
Little was benched in the Browns third game of the season against the Vikings due to his performance.
"My performance itself was a wakeup call.''
Little had a proponent for dropping the ball in his rookie season, seemed to turn it around in 2012, only to have trouble again this season. For the season, Little has only 16 catches for 161 yards and one touchdown, a 2-yard reception against the Lions.
Profootballfocus.com lists Little as having four dropped passes this season, which is tied for 11th in the NFL.
Little said it's pretty simple what his assignment is.
"Just catching the ball."
Little was back in the starting lineup last week and scored his first touchdown of the season. He admitted he was pressing earlier in the season.
"I was just pushing myself, trying to do more than what was there, trying to hit a home run on every ball,'' he said. "(I need) to just hit a base hit and keep it moving."
Little's stats against the Lions would've been better after he made what appeared to be a great 25-yard catch against the Lions when the Browns were driving and trailing 24-17 near the 50-yard line, but was ruled out of bounds. Chudzinski challenged but there wasn't a conclusive camera angle to overturn the call on the field.
"That was a huge, huge play in the game,'' Little said. "It was obviously a drive that would've tied up the ball game. I would've liked to know what they were thinking. Then it again it was just one play and one play never really loses the game."
Little has showed signs of starting to be a difference maker. He had a key 47-yard reception that set up a Josh Gordon touchdown in the win over the Bills. Is he ready to make more big plays?
"Yeah, and if more is there, then I'm going to try to make more of it,'' he said. "I think I am playing better. Of course, there are areas to get better throughout the week. I'm just going to keep trying to continue to make plays and get better.
"I just want to continue to get better every week and continue to make game changing plays."
Little had not made himself available to the media since after the Sept. 15 loss to the Ravens, but he said he was just focusing on improving his game.
"The media doesn't really bother me at all," he said. "I've never had a problem with talking to the media or anything like that. It's just trying to work on some things and just keep on moving forward.
"I've been doing some things in the film room a lot with Brandon (Weeden) and also just lifting weights as well,'' he said. "I didn't want to break my routine.''
Little defended Weeden's play.
"My confidence in Brandon is high," he said. "I think he has the intangibles to do big things and I believe we have each others backs as a team."
Little said winning is the cure all for the team, but admitted he has heard the boos intended for both he and Weeden.
"I think once we get back in the swing of things and are winning, I'm likely to see the fans that boo are the same fans that cheer,'' he said. "So that's going to make me laugh, that's for sure.
"I don't mind taking criticism. We're all a team and the common goal is to win. We still just got to go out and play."
Little said the Browns are in it together.
"It's not like his decision-making over and over is wrong," he said. "There's things that are easily curable.
Little has been linked to trade rumors and has had numerous off the field issues, including speeding tickets. Most recently, his name was linked to agent Terry Watson, who was charged for paying players, including Little, while he was at North Carolina.
"None of that bothers me because the thing is, I don't even know about it unless our PR staff tells me," Little said. "I haven't heard anything about a trade from participants that matter and I don't even know who's getting charged with what. I mean, that is what it is."
Hoyer's Surgery: QB Brian Hoyer had successful surgery to repair his torn ACL on Friday. The surgery was performed by team doctors Mark Schickendatz and Lutul Farrow at the Cleveland Clinic. Hoyer is expected to make a full recovery and Chudzinski re-iterated that he is hopeful that Hoyer will be ready for the Browns spring OTAs.
Second Half Adjustments: The Browns coaching staff has been criticized for the second half play in the Browns three losses. In those games, the Browns have only scored a combined total of three points. Last week, against the Lions the Browns were outscored 24-0 in the second half. Chudzinski said earlier in the week that they were taking a look at the team's procedures.
"I've taken a hard look at it," he said. "Obviously, there's a lot of different things that come up and ideas and reasons from a coach and player standpoint, and it starts with me. We need to get better in coming out and playing in the second half. We're looking at tape and studied all the tape, and 'What are we doing from a scheme standpoint? Offensively? Defensively? Special teams? Are there some adjustments and things that we can do differently there?' We feel like there are some things, and we have a plan for that from a procedural standpoint at halftime of what we can do. The thing that I feel strongly about is it's not a matter of emotions or energy coming out the in the second half because that's there. It's a matter of being able to jump back into the game at the same speed that you left it. We've been stressing that with our players, as well as just some things procedurally being able to get them going again physically, as well as what we're going to do and some organizational things in making sure that they're clear with on what we need to happen in the second half, as well."
Offensive coordinator Norv Turner said there wouldn't be talk about adjustments if the Browns were to improve in one area.
"People want to talk about halftime adjustments, it is about third down conversions."
Chudzinski said that adjustments are being made the whole game.
"There's not a lot of time when you really break it down because the coaches get together for a little bit of time to discuss going forward," he said. "A lot of those things are ongoing anyhow. As the first half is going on, you're talking about things that you need to do, the adjustments you're making. A lot of times, we're already making adjustments as the games going on. Halftime kind of just gives you time to reset. Then players have a few minutes. A lot of times they're in there getting re-taped, doing all those type of things, changing and whatever they need to do from that standpoint so you really only have a couple of minutes with them to talk and then it's back out on the field. There's not a lot of time that you actually have. By the time the coaches get down, have talked things over and they have to leave to get back to the (press) box and so forth, there's not a lot of time, less than you'd expect."
"When things are going well, you've already made maybe some of the adjustments in the first half already. It's a matter of what we're doing coming out in the second half. Maybe it's not a matter of adjustments as it is just making sure that everybody knows where we're going from here. Then sometimes, if you're not playing well in the first half, maybe it's more major, the adjustments are more major. There's examples of us having to do some of that, not just offense, not just defense, but on special teams, as well. Personnel and adjustments, you have to make when somebody gets hurt in the first half. We've had a number of those type of things. It can be a lot that you're doing at halftime; it can be not a lot based on how the game is going; but whatever it is, we're going to do the best we can and continue to improve coming out in the second half."
Injury Report: DL Billy Winn (quad) and DB Josh Aubrey (knee,ankle) were ruled out while RB Willis McGahee (knee) returned to practice and is probable. LB Brandon Magee (oblique) is questionable. RB Bobby Rainey (groin), DB Chris Owens (finger) and LB Jabaal Sheard (knee) practiced Friday and are probable. LB Clay Matthews (finger), LB Nick Perry (foot), RB James Starks (knee) and TE Ryan Taylor (knee) have been ruled out.
Joe's Homecoming: Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas grew up in Wisconsin rooting for the Packers and dreaming about playing at Lambeau Field. This Sunday it will be reality for Thomas as he lines up against the Packers.
"It will definitely be a thrill for everyone," Thomas said. "The history of Lambeau, a legendary place. It's a a special place to play for me growing up a Packers fan.
"I was 12 when the Packers won the Super Bowl," he said. "There was a memorable NFC Championship game that sent them to the Super Bowl."
Thomas said his favorite players were Brett Favre and Reggie White, but he said he was never able to get a ticket to a Packers game because they are so valuable.
As it turns out, for Thomas, it was easier to play in a game at Lambeau Field as a player than get a ticket as a fan. Thomas played at the University of Wisconsin before the Browns drafted him in the first round with the third-overall pick.

Mundine To Return in April, Eyes Lara Title Showdown
Anthony Mundine says he is still on track to take on the likes of Floyd Mayweather by year's end despite his disappointing effort against Gunnar Jackson.
By all accounts, Floyd Mayweather loves a flutter.
He is nicknamed "Money", after all.
But even the world's best pound-for-pound boxer would not gamble on a bout with Anthony Mundine judging by the ex-NRL star's unconvincing performance against Gunnar Jackson in Brisbane on Wednesday night.
Mayweather is no stranger to placing huge bets - he added to his reputation by outlaying almost $A15 million on next week's Super Bowl.
However, even he would baulk at the odds of facing off against Mundine by year's end as predicted by the ex-Dragons playmaker after the Australian's unanimous points win over plucky Kiwi Jackson.
Still, Mundine (46 wins, 27 KOs, five losses) believed his victory over the drain digger who had less than a week to prepare for their 10-round fight was a step toward achieving boxing greatness in 2014.
"I regained my killer instinct. I had bad intentions when I hit him. I wanted to hurt him," Mundine said.
"In the (Daniel) Geale fight last year I wasn't right mentally.
"But Gunnar made me switch on straight away because I knew this guy meant business.
"I put pressure on him at a world class pace.
"All I need to do is switch on mentally.
"Mind over matter, that is how it happens."
Mundine lowered his sights somewhat by claiming post-fight that Cuba's Erislandy Lara, the WBA superwelterweight world champion, was a better bet than Mayweather in the near future.
But he still appeared at long odds of facing off against Lara any time soon after being forced to battle manfully by Jackson (18 wins, six knockouts, five losses, three draws) - albeit at 27 a rival 11 years Mundine's junior.
Mundine had hoped his last win two months ago - sealed when American legend Shane Mosley was forced to retire with back spasms - would be a stepping stone to the big leagues.
At 38, Mundine believes staying active in 2014 and notching wins every 10 weeks at least will force the likes of Lara or Mayweather's hand by year's end.
But even the most rabid Mundine supporter would have been hard pressed to find positives from the win over Jackson - not that it stopped "The Man" from trying.
"I told you this was more of a risk than Mosley," he said.
"I had everything to lose and Gunnar gave his heart and soul - and I applaud him.
"He hung tough, he had never been stopped before which is another thing.
"He's 27 and I am supposed to be old."
Mundine said he wanted his next fight in April but warned locals need not apply.
"All the Aussie fighters calling me out, you are not on my radar," he said.
"If I wanted the money I could fight Geale, I could fight (Danny) Green.
"But I am chasing the dream."

Is it OK to take licence with a real location in a story? Something I've been writing (partially ties into CL, with steampunk technology):http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13482908870A55940100 is set in Dutch Harbor in the Aleutians. Now IRL Dutch Harbor, or "Dutch", is the port of the city of Unalaska (setting of Deadliest Catch) and an informal name for the part of the city on Amaknak Island, but in-story, it is the name of the entire part on Amaknak, which is a separate community from Unalaska. Do I need to justify this?

I think it's fine, as long as you indicate it's a deliberate break from reality and not a research failure. If it's necessary to the plot for it to be like that, that should be obvious.

When horoscopes go wrong
I have a character who is cursed by a wizard to become a Baleful Polymorph. She is forced to turn into a black and white pegasus whenever the sun rises above the horizon and transforms back when the sun completely sets. The first time she transforms, her clothes are destroyed, but after this her curse is modified to include whatever she's wearing when she transforms. Can anyone think of how she would react/adjust to this? For further clarification, Pegasi in this universe are roughy as smart as people so her thinking patterns wouldn't be too different. Only a few animal instincts carry over (such as a horse's natural skittishness and tendency to bolt when faced with unknown things).

I'm assuming your character is human. If so, she'd have some trouble with the mechanics: even horses have trouble learning to walk like horses. If you've ever seen a newborn foal, it's basically, "What are legs?" Horses have multiple gaits (walk, trot, canter, gallop). Humans walk and run, left-right-left, and that's pretty much it. Flying doesn't even bear thinking about - how do you even fold your wings? How the hell d'you move two limbs you never had before? She'll also be suddenly a lot larger in all directions. What if she transforms indoors, on a second floor, with the door shut? Or in the middle of a thick forest? Re. the clothes: if the first time they're destroyed, she'd worry about turning back into a naked human, and fear further damage to her wardrobe. (By the way, why would the curse be modified to make her more comfortable? It's not much of a curse that changes to accommodate the cursee.)

She has a friend who is good enough with magic to alter her curse slightly, but can't actually remove it because he was not the one to create it. And I planned on her learning to walk by observing other horses and trying to copy. (It would take a few weeks at least. Flying is an entirely different story)Thanks for the suggestions.

"Only women and cats are allowed inside my armor!"
Words In The Heart Can Not Be Taken
That makes sense. You're welcome
I suggest you try reading Animorphs, they have a book where they transform into horses. Its a good read on what's it like, because the format of the books is in First Person, from the eyes of the characters experiencing the morph. Scenario: Person is mysteriously transported to an alien world, and he can mysteriously speak their language. The crux here is whenever he opens his mouth, the language he's using is an extremely antiquated, ancient, super formal language which the locals don't speak anymore, and he himself doesn't speak like that. Do any of you encountered something like this? How was it portrayed, and what problems did it have? Initially, I wanted this to be something he doesn't know about, only something that the aliens notice and give him odd looks and expressions when he uses certain expressions (for example: "bitch" turns into "mongrel"). The other option is to have him be aware of it all, and have him think it out how its so annoying that his words translate like this. What other options can you guys think up?

Need some help with brainstorming ways to have scientifically justified versions of specific kinds of Jump Physics for a cyborg/robot/power-armored character that doesn't involve obvious jetpacks/jetboots, Anti Gravity devices, or Magic from Technology. The setting's time frame is late 21st/early 22nd century, with some forms of Unobtainium, Imported Alien Phlebotinum, various forms of (non-fantastic) Nanotechnology, and a generally quite advanced science/technology level (even for its times in some areas, often due to the aformentioned Unobtainium / Imported Alien Phlebotinum). The aforementioned kinds of Jump Physics (per the trope's own terminology):
- Air Control.
- Double Jump.
- (Instant) Air Dashing, and other similar (but unmentioned) manuevers that may exist.
- Diving Kick (okay, that's not listed on Jump Physics, but it does involve questionable Art Major Physics related to jumping).

Are you answering to all of the points, or just some of them? In either case, I'm not sure if a split-second of pressurized air can actually move a human-sized mass in the air without the involved apparatus being quite bulky in order to launch enough gas to do the trick within that incredibly short span of time. Sounds believable to me.

@ Marq FJA The diving kick seems the easiest to me. The Real Life section of it's page mentions that it is an exageration of an actual martial arts technique. So with just have your character attempt said move, but with cyborg/power armor-enhanced muscles or with the double jump. I believe the answer to whether or not air blasts could be used to change direction(air control) or to double jump without bulky equipment is completely dependent on your level of pressurization technology. Its possible under the laws of physics, but it would take a lot of work/energy to pressurize and contain the amount of air needed to lift your character. It's also important to note that when changing direction, if one is not also double jumping, one is still falling (or rising on their original arc, and will then fall). As for bulky equipment, as the character is a cyborg, it could be possible to "cheat" by internalizing some of the necessary gear in the legs or torso. Also, you didn't say that you had an objection to a jet pack, just an "obvious" one, so a non-obvious suggestion: a jet pack that rather that using combustion gas as propellant uses a series of extremely high-powered magnets to accelerate gas particals through a tube strapped to your character's back or legs. This will, via Newton's 3rd law, propel them upwards (or in the direction of the top of the tube), without any visible exhaust. Also, a request for aid: what kind of abilities might a fantasy setting cleric-type character have?

On another note... Any good sources on the kinds of ships that pirates used during the Golden Age of Piracy (including average crew sizes for the ship types)? Would a three-decker make sense for a particularly successful pirate, for example, or is it too impractical of an Awesome, but Impractical choice for piracy? Series of extremely high-powered magnets on ordinary, non-ionized air? Wouldn't that create an equally strong and probably big magnetic field that affect any magnetism-sensitive devices within range... like the cyborg's own electronics?

I would be inclined to think that a triple-decker ship would be too big, as pirates generally relied on speed, but most of my knowledge of naval warfare of the period comes from a friend who's really into it, so I'm not entirely certain.

Yeah, but smaller ships have smaller cargo capacity, less room for cannons (important for both offense and defense), and aren't suited for long voyages. The decrease in speed also shouldn't matter that much if you instead go after the bigger merchant ships, which would be both that much slower and tend to carry more treasures to steal.

Gundam&anything good fan
Carried over from the Fanfics section: So, I'm trying to write a series with a Self Insert done right, but the main problem I'm having is actually describing the Self Insert and whatever other Original Characters I may be using. This series ain't posted yet, as it's not even planned out at all, but I'm trying to come up with a small amount of characters for this to work right. In essence, here are the characters' names and any details that I come up with, not in trope format: Zamuseru Uzukano: A warrior from an original world, with very repressed memories from his time in a "real" world of things that wouldn't make much sense in his current world, he seeks three things in his adventures in order of importance. 1) His beloved, Suzaku Yume; 2) Answers about who and what he is, as well as how come he has to follow the whims and fancies of Fate; 3) The strength to protect his precious people from evil and other harm. Suzaku Yume: A warrior from an original world, but not a Self Insert in any way, she is stronger than her beloved (though she'll never admit she's in love with Zamuseru until somewhere around 2/3 of the way into the series)... and still gets kidnapped by the Big Bad evil empire of the series. She was supposed to hold off an invasion on her home village, but things happened, and now there's a five week limit in their home world for someone to get strong enough to take care of the invasion... if she doesn't get found by one of the village, that is, before the invasion starts. Kiala Uzumaki: A fictional daughter of Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze and Sakura Haruno, she got lost in the multiverse and wants to return to her proper time and place, but knows that she has a place in the multiverse that she unexpectedly achieved. She just needs to know where to go from here on out, as nobody in the multiverse knows that for her, so she needs to figure it out on her own. ...No, this ain't a Naruto-based series, it's actually a Nasuverse-based series. I just needed to get Kiala out of my head and given some form of depth aside from "she's related to the Uzumaki family by being a daughter of a male Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno". Anyone know what to do with these characters to help flesh them out?

In 2009, we decided to expand to fostering homeless animals. We do not have a shelter (although, we wouldn't object to donations to build one ;). Currently we only have a few volunteers that are able to take 1-2 pets into their own homes at a time to care for until a loving fur-ever home can be found. Most of the animals we take in are from the County Shelter. We also cross-post/network to help find owners of lost pets or new homes for abandoned pets.
In April of 2011, an EF4 tornado destroyed much of our hometown, Ringgold GA. We saw a HUGE response for helping the humans that were effected, but not much was being done for their pets. CCAC promptly started accepting donations of pet food, flea/tick medicines, collars & leashes, dog houses, fencing materials, pet bedding, etc. We set up at K-9 Tub Time in the heart of Ringgold to pass out items to those in need. We also filled up our personal vehicles and drove through the hardest-hit areas looking for people that needed our help. We could not have helped so many during that time without the help from our wonderful donors and volunteers!!
Bragging rights
CCAC is 18 years old and stronger than ever! Thanks to our fantastic volunteers, we continue to grow. We could not do it without each and every single one of you all. THANK YOU!! :)

"I ordered these save the date magnets for my niece. They are so beautiful I got tears in my eyes. I would recommend WeddingPaperDivas to everyone!"
"This is my first purchase from WPD and I'm incredibly happy! First of all, this site is far more affordable than most wedding invitation sites and they give you such a broad range for customization. These save the dates are gorgeous, the size is perfect too, not too large. Thank you! I'll be purchasing the rest of my wedding suite with you."
"I received many compliments about this save the date. The wedding paper divas customized the colors to the colors of my wedding. The picture looked exactly how it did in the proof. The only downfall was some of them got lost in the mail. If you have a lot going out of state I would recommend not doing a magnet. Perhaps if the envelope was thicker it would have travelled better, and not gotten lost. However, at the cost I would think it's safer just to go the normal "save the date" route and not risk any getting lost."
"I can not say more good things about this product. I received countless compliments on our save the dates. We personalized our save the dates with our fave engagement photo and it looked gorgeous! We used the blush color instead of the mint color. It looked perfect. I highly recommend these!"
"Pros: -The designing process was simple. -*It was easy to add the city and state to my magnet just by asking in the comments section. They took a day and a half to get back to me with a proof and it was perfect! -They were shipped quickly. Cons: -The print/photo quality on the magnet is not as clear as I was hoping it to be... but, perhaps that is because it is printed on a magnet. I would definitely recommend this magnet, however, and do not regret buying 60 of them!"

Codroy Valley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Codroy Valley is a valley in the southwestern part of the island of Newfoundland in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.[1]
The Codroy Valley is a glacial valley formed in the Anguille Mountains, a sub-range of the Long Range Mountains which run along Newfoundland's west coast fronting the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The valley runs inland at a perpendicular angle from the coast along a bearing of 45° (northeast), carrying the Codroy River and its tributaries to the gulf.
The mouth of the Codroy Valley at the coast is extremely windy and is the location of Wreckhouse, so-named by employees of the historic Newfoundland Railway for the wind's ability to blow railway cars off the tracks.

We play melodic/noisy rock music. We put out our first record last summer and are currently working on record number two. Our tunes have a modest, quiet fury about them that gets louder and louder every time we play.
The 5 of us currently live together in a house in Bloomington, Indiana where we play music in our basement and throw shows in the living room.
We currently attend Indiana University as well.
We released our first record 'You, Me, and the Monster' with Roaring Colonel Records in July of 2011 at the Earth House in Indianapolis.
We made the album with our friend Tyler Watkins, bassist/producer of Margot and the Nuclear So & So's, who produced and played on the record with us.
"An accomplished sound that's persuasive whether it's loud or quiet, agitated or calm." - David Lindquist, Indianapolis Star
"A young, hungry band with killer tunes — can't ask for more." - Jeremy Zucker, Indy Rock Live
"It's a great blend of loud indie rock and mellow acoustic jams ("King Kong" is a great example of the former)...It's an eclectic mix that stays grounded thanks to the sing-along hooks and solid songwriting" - Bears Eat Beats, Music Blog
We've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with many acts including but not limited to: Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr, Margot and the Nuclear So & So's, Guided by Voices, GROUPLOVE, Bear Hands, Lookbook, Elsinore, The Broderick, Everything Now!, Company of Thieves, Aunt Martha, Walk the Moon, and Gardens and Villa.
We were a part of the Jansport Battle of the Bands and won a slot at the Sonicbids party at SXSW 2012.
We went out and played the inaugural Bunbury Music Festival this summer in Cincinnati.
We are currently playing shows and working on our second album, again with Sgt Watkins.
Hotfox released 'You, Me, and the Monster' on Roaring Colonel Records, July 2011.
Our tracks 'Mountain Tiger', 'King Kong', and 'Tombstone Teeth' have seen regular play on My Old Kentucky Blog's Sirius XM channel/show beginning July 2011.
Our song 'Mountain Tiger' appeared on WFHB's Local Live Volume 2 compilation in spring of 2012.

In spite of a call from the House of Lords last week to delay the measure, the government is pressing ahead with legislation affecting the taxation of limited liability partnerships (LLPs).
The new measures address HMRC's concerns, first expressed in the 2012 Budget, about "disguised employment", where tax was being avoided by LLP members who were not in true partners, and should therefore should be taxed as employees.
HMRC documentation (paragraph 1.57 of the overview of legislation) confirmed that Finance Bill 2014 will set out tests to determine whether members of LLPs are partners for tax purposes, or whether they should be taxed through the payroll. Failing the test will bring an individual LLP employee within PAYE, and Class 1 NIC for earnings that would previously have been taxed as a profit share.
After consultation with the profession, HMRC clarified when the rules will apply and gave partners three additional months to prepare their finances - but the legislation is likely to post significan financial and administrative challenges for accountancy firms that converted to LLPs, and junior partners who currently have 80% or more of their remuneration guaranteed.
Rebecca Benneyworth, author of our Budget 2014 impact report for TaxCalc, said that despite the Lords' late intervention...

Gun documentary recalls Oak Creek Sikh temple shooting
An MSNBC documentary about gun violence showing Friday, on the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination, includes a segment on the 2012 Sikh temple shooting in Oak Creek.
The program, called "50 Years of Guns," airs at 8 p.m. and is hosted by Al Sharpton, host of "Politics/Nation." According to the network: "This documentary looks at guns in America five decades after President Kennedy was taken by an assassin's bullet."
"Sharpton travels around the U.S. to talk with people on different sides of the debate, including Second Amendment advocates and victims of gun violence. Examining the issues, Reverend Sharpton shares his own personal narrative in an effort to find solutions to one of the most enduring sources of conflict in the country." »Read Full Blog Post(3)
Heaton returns to Twitter, apologizes to Georgetown student
Patricia Heaton, star of "The Middle" and formerly of "Everybody Loves Raymond," has returned to Twitter and apologized for cutting tweets about the Georgetown woman whom talk show host Rush Limbaugh called a slut.
Limbaugh later apologized to the woman, who had testified before Congress in support of birth control being part of the health care package. The woman has refused his apology, and Limbaugh has lost several sponsors.
In her latest tweet Heaton said: "I apologized to Ms Fluke last week. I may not agree with her views but I didn't treat her with respect and I'm sorry. I was wrong. Mea Culpa." »Read Full Blog Post(5)

Finding the best legal advice online
When it comes to needed legal advice, the best thing to do is seek out an online or local law firm that uses effective law practice management software to help sort the situation out. In fact, the appeal of hiring an attorney is linked to the view that only these "Legal Eagles" are trained in the art of communicating your legal arguments with evidence in a court of law. The skilled lawyers are also able to "persuade" a judge, a jury or others about the truth that you are seeking.
Another aspect of legal advice is related to getting the best representation for civil rights, class actions, contracts, intellectual property laws, Internet laws, tax laws and other legal issues involving dispute resolution. While it's clear that most people will have to confront legal issue fright at sometimes in their lives, the view is it is far better when a skilled lawyer has your back. In fact, the laws of the land in America today have become so varied and complex that it makes clear sense to hire an online or local attorney to represent your legal needs in court or during some local, state or federal government action. There are even lawyers who help with Internal Revenue Service tax audit cases because the individual is best served by professional legal representation.
Legal talk comes from lawyers
There are hundreds of television shows and movies that present lawyers in action. In fact, most people have seen these legal experts in action hundreds of times on local and national TV news broadcasts. In turn, the appeal of hiring a lawyer when there is an unresolved automobile accident or some other legal action is tied to the expert approaching the judge with evidence on their client's behalf. The legal process thus becomes more understandable for the client who freely admits to stage fright when it comes to representing oneself in a court of law.
The benefits of hiring a lawyer include:
– Offers professional legal paperwork research and advice.
– Aids clients who are confused and flustered with the complex legal system.
– Able to understand complex legal jargon and then translate the law for clients.
In general, a professional lawyer is a brilliant legal expert that makes confusing legal issues understandable for the client.
Overall, the attorney is skilled in jump-starting any court action that either needs to take place, or by responding to legal action being taken out against their client.

That heady summer football of Mexico '86 is the first World Cup I can properly remember and one of my strongest TV memories of that tournament is the public torture carried out by ITV on one of their pundits.
Former Scotland and Liverpool forward Ian St. John, for it was he, was suffering through his country's execrable 0-0 draw with Uruguay while, unbeknownst to him, a hidden camera was following his every last groan, gripe and gesture. How "Greavsie" and the crew giggled when "Saint" was played back his impromptu performance.
On Friday, in the chilly Ellis Park pressroom after USA's pulsating draw with Slovenia, a fellow journalist attempted - in vain - to do the same to me during the god-awful horror show that was England 0-0 Algeria. He was given short shrift and treated to the same Anglo-Saxon vernacular I had previously been aiming at a flat-screen television. My solace lay in the fact I was not in Cape Town and among a group of people - the fans - who were entitled to be even angrier, having paid serious cash to be insulted by such a clueless showing.
I myself found my own reactions odd. My friends and colleagues will know that I am never one to proclaim patriotism and the very ideas of wearing an England shirt or showing off a Flag of St George are distant anathema. Yet being at a World Cup can do strange things to the self-aware student of the game. My last such reaction to an England game came in a Munich bar. While at Germany 2006 I sat through a dire victory over Trinidad & Tobago in the company of Brazilians and Australians preparing for a group match between the two nations. It was the same feeling: shame by association with a brand of football so poor that it made you wish you were Scottish.
Yet it seems that the players only wish to share that association when it suits them. Wayne Rooney's outburst to a television camera was undefendable. What did he and his team-mates expect? Warm applause, massed stiff upper lips, a chorus of "Things Can Only Get Better"? A colleague at the game said that the players did not even seek to acknowledge the fans. I myself viewed a similar lack of mutual appreciation for travelling support after the game in Rustenberg, where the Americans righteously applauded their support and our own collection of Premier League megastars merely sloped off in search of their Marks and Spencer suits and oversized headphones.
It was hard not to have some sympathy for the miscreant who wormed his way into the dressing room and was there long enough to have a go at David Beckham. In doing so, he was perhaps seeking to gain the personal touch these cosseted clots clearly feel is beneath them. Now, in a transparent attempt at spinning the agenda away from the main story, the English FA's po-facedly talk of security worries and the players' safety.
They can barely expect a wave of public sympathy though from my own experience such a security breach is highly possible. While trying to escape the rugby scrum of the "Mixed Zone" after the tournament's opening match, I mistakenly found myself in the Mexican dressing room, quickly taking my leave when I caught sight of a discarded green jockstrap.
I digress. That problem is surely to be righted in a far easier fashion than the travails of the England team. I shall leave the most telling words to the captain himself, Steven Gerrard MBE. In seeking to paint a positive light and be magnanimous to his Algerian opponents, he supplied this wonderful piece of reality-detached arrogance: "We have to give them credit. This was their World Cup final."
No, Steven, it wasn't. But you may just have pinpointed why your team was so poor and are now so unloved.

Announcement ID:
The topic of Trickster's ninth issue is "The malaise of Identity". The Journal editorial welcomes articles from academics, researches and students writing on the theme of identity from a problematic, intercultural perspective.
The ninth issue of Trickster-Academic Journal of Intercultural Studies provocatively addresses the topic of identity from a pathological point of view, as it were: "The malaise of Identity: Traditions, Roots, Origins and Cultures." The Journal editorial welcomes articles from academics, researches and students writing on the theme of identity from an intercultural perspective.
The abstract submission deadline is 20 May 2010. Successful contributors will then be contacted by the magazine's editorial staff and will be asked to submit their whole articles by 15 June 2010.
Below – and at the following address: http://trickster.lettere.unipd.it/doku.php?id=lingue_future:cfp_identita_eng – would-be contributors can find the full text of Trickster call for paper:
Identity is problematic as a category for a number of reasons: historical, cultural and political. While sheltering us, identity exposes ourselves. It is ̕religious̕ in the sense that it links both individuals and communities to a dimension of eternity. Yet does identity still pose a problem in itself? Or has it rather long been turned into a false problem? In this sense, have not 19th- and 20th-century theories of alterity already superseded the definition above?
The ideas of ´absolute alterity´ and of the uniqueness of the single individual are written in the same language in which ideas of nation, ethnic group, culture and people's spirit were formulated. Indeed, the lexis of ´authenticity´ and ´uniqueness´ shares many words with that of ´common origins´ and self-integrity.
On the other hand, the recent devising of "neologisms of difference", while bearing witness to a specific historical phase in our societies – whose main features are movement (of people and information) and their increasing interconnectedness with one another – refers to identity by a range of ever new adjectives: processual, performative, theatrical, multiple, plural, tactic or negotiated, pidginised, situational, hybrid, mestizo, until the more recent ´cross cultural´ and ´multicultural´.
The explicit aim of this new critical idiom is to account for the effectiveness with which, in the face of identitarian discourses, individuals make do with the complexity of their lives by building up narratives of identity – thus making this latter more endurable and shareable in present times. On the one hand, this "language of newness" tends to smooth, melt down and make fluid and playful every reference to identity. On the other hand, it goes alongside with the creation of new identities – more ´authentic´ and thus more imaginary than those previously deconstructed.
Seemingly, therefore, identity appears as a sickness from which no one is ever cured. Indeed it is possible to be identity-sick. There are true and fake identities; authentic and imaginary ones. There are identities to be found again (like health), to be protected (with medications) or to be taken up again. Yet if one the one hand it makes sense to talk about a malaise affecting identity/-ies, on the other hand no surgical intervention seems feasible – as if once removed identity (hence the source of the malaise) the problem would disappear. What kind of malaise are we then talking about? How many such malaises are there? One for each identity? Are they all detrimental?
If only we stopped and took heed of the etymology of the word ´malaise´ (from French malaise, lit. "ill-ease", from mal "bad" + aise "ease"), we would become aware of something so plain to escape our sight. In fact, our own language points out to an uneasiness, to an ontology of identity and, therefore, to the attempt at re-establishing unity out of crisis. Does an ontology which is not directly linked to a myth of origins make any sense at all? Is there also a positive malaise, acting as a stimulus towards an intensification and radicalisation of self-questioning – without lending itself to a cheap and sterile postmodernist ´bricolage´? To conclude, is there a form of identity which is born not so much out of self-preservation as out of contradiction and non-answer, out of silence and chaos?

LATE LAST MONTH, with his attempts to get the Eagles to restructure his contract going nowhere, Evan Mathis had pretty much decided he was going to hold out of training camp.
"Probably won't see you on the 25th," he said.
Even as recently as Wednesday, Drew Rosenhaus, the agent who represents the 32-year-old All-Pro left guard, indicated that Mathis still was considering being a NovaCare no-show yesterday.
But there he was, reporting for the start of two-a-days with the rest of the team.

Have it your way. I know it'll kill you to hear this, but I think I can live with that..." Fake in every possible way... — Aquatic Dreamer - AiXon 01:28, November 8, 2015 (UTC) Hello Byz. This message is meant as a verbal warning for you. Many of the edits which you have been making recently on this wiki have been highly disruptive, and haven't complied with the clearly defined rules which we have stated on this wiki. I realise that you have recently fixed the thumbnail issue that I pointed out a little earlier. This is good, however, I have had to add in my own thumbnails and have given you the same edit summary on multiple occasions now. Please be sure that you do this yourself in future. To clarify, any image which is displayed in a gallery, whether that be a page with the Gallery: tag or a gallery found within another page, needs to have a thumbnail. The thumbnail must describe what the image is. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, you have been uploading a large number of new images to the wiki of late. These images have pertained both to the upcoming game releases (Kingdom Hearts III and Kingdom Hearts HD Final Chapter Prologue) and the more recent releases of Unchained X and the Japanese-only browser-based counterpart. The uploading of the images in itself isn't bad, but the sheer quantity of images that you have then been adding to galleries has been unnecessary. The gallery subsections which we have on our game pages are there for displaying prominent new information which has been announced for that game (this is for games which have not yet been released). Taking Kingdom Hearts III as an example here, the Big Hero 6 concept art is important to have in the gallery, as it showcases an entirely unique piece of information about Kingdom Hearts III that we hadn't heard or seen anything about until its release. The attraction flows and Keyblade transformations on the other hand - whilst they are also new concepts that we have not seen in the Kingdom Hearts series before, having an image of every single new ride of transformation which is released to the public eye is frankly just unnecessary. One image, being shown as an example of the new attraction flow rides, is fine. However, multiple images are not fine. You have had adequate time to become accustomed to the workings of this wiki: what is acceptable and what is not, and you ought to know by now that clogging up the game pages with a multitude of images just isn't correct. Please take the time to consider how best to alter your behaviour, and then act on whatever decision you make. If the behaviour and actions that you have been displaying continue, then you will put yourself at risk of receiving an official warning. - Aixon No this is not right.

What is so wrong with wanting some answers!?" Why won't you quit!? — Aquatic Dreamer - AiXon 11:32, November 8, 2015 (UTC) I don't have anything else to say here. I will leave it up to you to decide whether or not an improvement in your own behaviour and actions is needed. It will then be your decision whether you make changes or not, and accept whatever consequences, whether good or bad, come with that decision.
