Historical Traveler Reviews HCC Montblanc Barcelona
Good hotel for the price, and walls are thin yep!
I stayed there 3 days. It's a nice hotel, and the location is very good if you want to visit the city. There were not so many people when I was there so I have not to complain about the noise, but I heard once some people on the room next to mine, and I suppose that in peak period, this must be somewhat noisy.
Walls are thin !!
Nice hotel but walls are thin !!! I was in room 430 and I could hear my neighbours on both side talking, snorring, showering, tv and so on and they were not of the loud type ...One of the guy travelling with me did not experience this problem as he was on the second floor on the other side of the building.Cleaning came back very late around 10 pm.No in-hotel store.If you get a rate with breakfast included, make sure to eat at the hotel because that you eat there or not they will charge you 13 euros for every night. I was even charge on the morning of my departure for a breakfast that open at 7 and we left in taxi at 6 h 30. For that price they provide us with croissant and orange juice ...For ?on the road workers? there's free ADSL Internet in rooms and free Wi-Fi in bar - dinning area in lobby. Make sure you allow your start page to be modified otherwise you will not be able to connect. You can't access secure sites such as ?https? type, the're blocked by their firewall.I would go back but ask for a room in the other part of the hotel.
Great location
Stayed for 3 nights. Nice clean hotel in a great location, easy access to all tourist sites. We didn't eat at the restaurant as it seemed expensive and breakfast wasn't included, but there are plenty of restaurants nearby. When we arrived, the room we had been allocated had not been cleaned, but we were re-allocated straight away and that evening reception sent a bottle of Cava on ice to our room as an apology. Great for a winter weekend break.
A great place to stay
We have stayed at the Montblanc twice now and have had no problems. The rooms are spacious and very clean. Breakfast plentiful and good quality including hot dishes. The staff were helpful and child-friendly. Decor was modern and attractive with a strong Gaudi influence. The location is perfect for sightseeing, shopping and feeling part of Barcelona.
Excellent choice!
Was looking for a 4* but this 3* came recommended and I wasn't disappointed. Very good location, near to Place de Catalunya and the old town. Staff were helpful (better than Tourist Information!) and rooms are a good size. I can also recommend the restaurant. One strange thing - you have to fill the bath with the shower; there was no spout on the taps! Well worth 99 euros a night.
Fantastic hotel, Fantastic location!
I have just returned from a 4 night stay at the hotel Montblanc. It was a great hotel, it is clean, modern, in the best location, being in a road running parallel to the ramblas and leading down to the Marina.
The room was spacious, and clean and the bathroom was close to luxurious. Breakfast was not included and was expensive to add on, but it wasn't really necessary! We would definately return to the Montblanc on any stay in Barcelona.
Very Nice & Spotless.....
The next time we drive into a big city in Europe and do not have a reservation I will look for the tourist office. We had to relocate for one night to this hotel because they were full at the other hotel... This turned out to be reasonably priced a very very clean.... You could pull you car in the hotels garage and not a public one... This made it easy for the next day... The staff was very helpful and friendly... Would stay here again....
Great place and location.
The rooms were very spacious, comfortable and clean. A little noisy if your room is on the busy Via Laietana side. The location is great, close to the Catherdal, Las Ramblas and a lot of interesting sites to see in Barcelona. It is also close to the city tour buses and the lovely Plaza de Catayluna.
The bar and restaurant were quit pricey but this hotel is close to a lot of great restaurant. The staff was a little less than friendly.
Seem to be in a hurry all the time, didn't explain a lot about the hotel or the safe box in your room and if you ask them to help book a Flamenco club, they seem to act as though they really don't want to be bothered, although, they did make the reservations.
We would still highly recommend this hotel, just don't ask the front desk for any additional help.
Great Place to Stay!
Spent 4 fabulous days at the Montblanc in Barcelona in August 2003. The hotel has been recently renovated and shows it - there was not one part of the hotel that showed the slightest hint of sub standard service.
All the rooms have safes and air conditioning, with excellent powerful showers and double glazing that blocked out all noise, not that there was any with the majority of the rooms facing onto the swimming pool terrace which closed at 6pm. Breakfast was plentiful with hot food also available in addition to the continental buffet.
All the staff were multi-lingual and extremely helpful.
The location of the hotel was also brilliant, being just one block away from Playa Catalunya and situated close to the metro.
Couldn't rate this hotel more highly and would definately return.

On February 3rd, 21 youth from Hood River Valley High school's Health Media and OSSOM Clubs plastered beer cases at Rosauer's and Safeway with stickers to promote safety during Superbowl festivities. The stickers read, "Avoid penalties this Superbowl Sunday. A fine will be the least of your worries. Designate a sober driver." The stickers were designed by youth Health Media members Maribel Vidal, Ben Toledo, Lily Renteria, Joel Manzo, Vanessa Bañuelos, Lupe Santillan, Uli Arroyo, and Crystal Cornejo.
The Health Media and OSSOM Club students know that Superbowl Sunday is one of the most dangerous days on the roadways of the year due to impaired driving. They are aware that any amount of alcohol is impairing and that even low blood alcohol concentrations can affect psychomotor skills, vision, perception, tracking (steering), information processing, and attention. They wanted to remind adults to be safe and model responsible behaviors, especially during this day of high alcohol consumption.

For Stephen Keshi and Nigeria, the friendly against Mexico represented a major step on the road to the 2014 World Cup.
Debate surrounding personnel and approach has raged since the Super Eagles' underwhelming showing at the Confederations Cup and some of the toils during the World Cup qualifying programme. This contest, however, gave observers a valuable window into the manager's thoughts and convictions ahead of the trip to Brazil.
Naturally, however, the performance generated almost as many questions as it answered. They will be considered and explored at a later date, but for now, here are the six things Bleacher Report learned from the Mexico vs. Nigeria match.

Pros: Somewhat faster than a conventional hard drive - when it works.
Cons: Started spitting out errors and failing to boot Windows after about 8 months. I have been having continuous issues but now I can't even reinstall a fresh install of Win 8. This SSD has really lowered my view of Samsung.
Other Thoughts: Will update review if my Samsung replaces my SSD (as it was under warranty) and it works out. But for now I am feeling very negative toward this product.READ FULL REVIEW

Landscape with an obelisk and the Imperial coat of arms
Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery currently have an exhibition 'Art At The Rockface: The Fascination of Stone'. In addition to the work of artists like Turner and Henry Moore, it has other types of stone object, including a collector's cabinet produced by the Castrucci workshop in
in about 1610. In this and other designs, like this cabinet in Prague , the workshop created miniature stone landscapes embedded in furniture. As the website of the Liechtenstein Museum puts it, "the impressionistic reproduction of an idealised landscape through colour patches and the natural pattern of the stones is typical of Castrucci style." The workshop was founded by the Florentine Cosimo Castrucci and continued after Cosimo's death with his son Giovanni. There is an entry on pictorial stones in the Giornale Nuovo blog, which discusses the Castruccis' commessi di pietre dure and includes two nice images. Seen in isolation as a view of a town, the Landscape with an obelisk and the Imperial coat of arms has a very distinct and strange quality to it. Vienna

Can anyone tell me: Who owns "Landscape with an Obelisk and the Imperial Coat of Arms" and where is normally kept. Sorry if this question is redundant. The blog was a bit confusing, in terms of which work was what. Also, further info about this specific piece would be appreciated.

A Military Department was created by the Supreme Government of the British East India Company at Kolkata in the year 1776.[3] Its main function was to co-ordinate and record orders, relating to the Army, issued by various Departments of the Government of the East India Company. The Military Department initially functioned as a branch of the Public Department and maintained a list of Army personnel.[3]
With the Charter Act of 1833 the Secretariat of the Government of the East India Company was re-organised into four Departments, each headed by a Secretary to the Government.[3] The Armies in the Presidencies of Bengal, Bombay & Madras functioned as the respective Presidency Armies until April 1895, when the Presidency Armies were unified into a single Indian Army. For administrative convenience, it was divided into four Commands; Punjab (including the North West Frontier), Bengal (including Burma), Madras and Bombay (including Sind, Quetta and Aden).[3]
The supreme authority over the Indian Army was vested in the Governor General-in-Council, subject to the Control of the Crown, which was exercised by the Secretary of State for India. Two Members in the Council were responsible for military affairs. One was the Military Member, who supervised all administrative and financial matters. The other was the Commander-in-Chief who was responsible for all operational matters.[3] The Military Department was abolished in March 1906 and was replaced by two separate Departments; the Army Department and the Military Supply Department. In April 1909 the Military Supply Department was abolished and its functions were taken over by the Army Department. The Army Department was re-designated as the Defence Department in January 1938. The Department of Defence became the Ministry of Defence under a Cabinet Minister in August 1947.[3]
Post Independence Changes[edit]
The functions of MOD which in 1947 was mainly logistic support to the Armed Forces, has undergone far reaching changes. In November 1962, following the 1962 war, a Department of Defence Production was set-up to deal with research, development and production of defence equipment. In November 1965, the Department of Defence Supplies was created for planning and execution of schemes for import substitution of requirements for defence purposes. These two Departments were later merged to form the Department of Defence Production and Supplies. In 1980, the Department of Defence Research and Development was created. In January 2004, the Department of Defence Production and Supplies was renamed the Department of Defence Production. A Scientific Adviser to the Defence Minister was appointed to advise on scientific aspects of military equipment and the research and design of Defence forces equipment. Ace Navigation and Avionics Scientist, Dr G. Satheesh Reddy is the present Scientific Adviser to Raksha Mantri. [4]The Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare was created in 2004.
The responsibility for national defence, according to official web site of the ministry, "rests with the Cabinet, which is discharged through the Ministry of Defence, which provides the policy framework and wherewithal to the Armed Forces to discharge their responsibilities in the context of the defence of the country.The Raksha Mantri (Defence Minister) is the head of the Ministry of Defence." The Defence Ministry is responsible for "obtaining policy directions of the Government on all defence and security related matters" and communicating these directions to "Services Headquarters, Inter-Services Organisations, Production Establishments and Research and Development Organisations". The MoD works closely with the National Security Council, Ministry of External Affairs and the Ministry of Home Affairs.
MoD is headed by the Union Cabinet Minister for Defence, who is supported by one Minister of State. .[5]

He/she exercises financial control over proposals involving expenditure from the Defence Budget and is responsible for the internal audit and accounting of defence expenditure. In the latter tasks, s/he is assisted by the Controller General of Defence Accounts (CGDA).
Chiefs of the Tri-Services[edit]
In 1955, the title of Commander-in-Chief was abolished and the three Service Chiefs were designated as the Chief of the Army Staff, the Chief of the Naval Staff and the Chief of the Air Staff. The heads of the three services of Indian Armed Forces are:
- Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) — General Dalbir Suhag
- Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS) — Admiral Sunil Lanba
- Chief of the Air Staff (CAS) — Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha
The Ministry of Defence consists of four Departments; Department of Defence, Department of Defence Production, Department of Defence Research & Development, and Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare. The Defence Secretary functions as head of the Department of Defence and is additionally responsible for coordinating the activities of the four Departments in the Ministry.
The principal functions of all the Departments are as follows:
- The Department of Defence deals with the Integrated Defence Staff (IDS), the three Services and various Inter-Service Organisations.

Inter-Services Organisations[9][edit]
Integrated Defence Staff (IDS)[edit]
To ensure a high degree of synergy between the Armed forces, the Government has set up the Integrated Defence Staff, headed by the Chief of Integrated Staff as the Chairman. It was created on 1 October 2001 based on the recommendations of the Group of Ministers which was set up in 2000 (post-Kargil) to review India's defence management. It acts as the point organisation for integration of policy, doctrine, war fighting and procurement by employing best management practices.
Chiefs of Staff Committee (COSC)[edit]
'Chiefs of Staff are the authority for advising the Defence Minister and normally through him the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs on all military matters which require ministerial consideration'. The IDS is 'the principal arm and Secretariat to the Chiefs of Staff Committee'[10][11]
The COSC is composed of: (a) Chief of the Army Staff (COAS); (b) Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS);(c) Chief of the Air Staff (CAS); and (d) Chief of Integrated Defence Staff (non-voting member). The Scientific Adviser to the Minister of Defence is invited to attend when ever needed.
The member longest on the Committee is the Chairman.[10]

Dump installs recycling gearNovember 12,2013KILLINGTON Residents will now find recycling to be a bit more convenient.
The town has installed a pair of new compactors at the transfer station, located at 2981 River Road behind the town garage. The first compactor has replaced the previous 20-year-old trash compactor. The second allows residents to engage in Zero-Sort recycling.
Zero-Sort recycling is exactly what it sounds like; paper, glass, tin, aluminum, plastics and cardboard all go in the same device, which uses screens, rotating disks and magnets to sort the materials.
The new compactors are leased through a 10-year agreement with Casella Waste Systems in Rutland. The agreement is projected to save the town $1,600 annually.

Retail stocks inched up today, setting a new high along with the broader market.
The S&P 500 Retailing Industry Group advanced 0.1 percent, or 0.45 points, to 728.13, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.4 percent, or 50.22 points, to 14,447.29.
Both indices closed at new all-time highs.
The fashion industry gainers included Sears Holdings Corp., up 2.9 percent to $51.11; Avon Products Inc., 2.2 percent to $20.19; Kohl's Corp., 1.6 percent to $47.05; Target Corp., 1.5 percent to $67.34, and Chico's FAS Inc., 1.5 percent to $17.92.
Running countertrend was Michael Kors Holdings Ltd., which fell 5.5 percent to $55. It was a busy day for the stock with more than 11 million shares trading hands, better than twice the average daily volume for the past three months.
European stock markets closed relatively flat, under pressure from a disappointing reading of the Chinese economy and a downgrade for Italy's credit rating.
Over the weekend, official data from China showed that inflation reached a 10-month high in February, while industrial production growth slowed in the first two months of 2013, compared with the same period last year.
And on Friday, Fitch Ratings downgraded Italy's sovereign credit rating to "BBB-plus" from "A-minus," pointing to the country's recession and the fragmented parliamentary election results last month.
Milan's FTSE MIB fell 0.7 percent to 16,091.98, followed by the CAC 40 in Paris, which was down 0.1 percent to 3,836.27, and the DAX in Frankfurt, which edged down 0.03 percent to 7,984.29.
The FTSE 100 in London was up 0.3 percent to 6,503.63 — hitting a five-year high — and buoyed by bounces in stocks such as SABMiller, Vodafone Group, and British American Tobacco.
The euro traded at $1.30 against the dollar, while the pound traded at $1.49, and the Swiss franc traded at $1.05.
The retail and luxury stock gainers included Hugo Boss, up 1.6 percent to 91.70 euros; Burberry Group, 1.1 percent to 14.33 pounds; Ferragamo, 2.4 percent to 22.50 euros, and Safilo Group, 1.7 percent to 9.97 euros.
Among the stocks that lost ground were Mulberry Group, down 5 percent to 12.30 pounds; Yoox.com, 1.6 percent to 14.83 euros, and Geox, 3.7 percent to 2.16 euros. Shares of PPR fell 0.6 percent to 176.50 euros.

ATLANTA - The Army Corps of Engineers is lifting a ban on new dock permits on North Georgia's Lake Lanier in another sign that the epic drought that once gripped North Georgia is fast becoming a thing of the past.
The Corps issued the moratorium in April 2007 as the drought sent levels at the massive reservoir plunging. As the drought grew worse, the lake's levels dropped more than 18 feet below full pool.
But rainy weather has helped North Georgia emerge from the worst drought conditions, and Lanier is now only about four feet below full pool. Corps spokesman E. Patrick Robbins said that helped federal engineers feel confident enough to begin accepting new boat dock permits.

Just when i start to have fun with this game some of the guys that play all the time just kill it.
Autoaim sniper quick scope check, knife me from 10 yards away check, have gay ass helicopters getting kills for you check, shotguns check, noobtubes check, homo ass campers check. Was cod 4 this homo?
I hate quick scope bs too, but usually there is another cheese way of payback, so run with commando and knife the cheeser from a mile away, or if you like the distance route, use the explosive grenade launcher. Or just make a running class (marathon, lightweight, commando) and flank the hell out of the other team. Or make a silent class (bling w heartbeat sensor and silencer, stopping power or cold blooded, ninja pro) and just sneak kill everyone on the map.
I agree there are a lot of cheap players out there, but usually you can find a way to out cheap them. Nothing better than to get them all pissed off because you can beat them at their own game.

**SOLD - PLEASE DELETE** TJ Stretch kit, Ls 408 engine, 4L80E
4/14/2015: Added more parts including engine, transmission, T-cases. I just want to sell the package, get a truck and move on with life.
Details are below:
1979 Ford dana 60 front with high steer arms, Currently has open diff and 4.10 gear and thick cover. Has 3 link tabs welded on
1999 Ford E350 dana 60 full float rear pretty much brand new except it has welded carrier and 4.10 gear and has a truss welded on. This is the axle with the dana 70 hubs and comes with 33 spline shafts. This axle has 4 link tabs already welded on
Long arm links front and rear with Johnny joints adjustable on the frame ends and rods ends on the axle side. I have a frame mount for the rear axle that has the links already welded on, just need to burn it in. Long arms are 1/4" thick material with the following lengths and diameters:
Upper rear arms = 2" diameter, 34 inch long
Lower rear Arms = 2.5" diameter, 32 inches long
Front Arms = 2.5" diameter, 35" long in a straight line from center to center.
What I have for both these axles are as follows (These are all brand new in the boxes and these boxes have never been opened):
2 x 35 spline outer 4340 Chromo stub shafts from USA gear for Ford dana 60 - $110 each
2 x 35 spline Yukon zip lockers for front and rear- $1100 each
2 x 5.13 gears (thick for the front) from USA Standard - $225 each
2 x master install kits USA Standard - $210 each
The largest ARB compressor made by ARB - The 6.16 CFM twin compressor unit and all hoses, fittings, etc... - $525
I have a set of brand new stretch corners from MOAB FAB with 6 inch fenders welded on. This is the max you can stretch and keep the full fenders. These things are beefy at 3/16" thick material. This allows for 5-6 inch stretch with 38" tire - $550 for rears, $330 for fronts
Brand new Genright EXT. Comp stretch tank. This is the new one with 23 gallon capacity - $1150
4 x 12 bolt H1's with the hub bore diameters milled out to fit Ford hubs and brand new rebuild kits with o rings, valves and new studs and nuts - $400

TWF PVC inner bead locks brand new in the box - $200
There is over $7000 in parts not including the axles and the long link arms.
I would like to sell everything for $5k. You are basically buying all the components for 40% off and getting a set of axles with long link arms for free.
I also have a 600HP LS 408 Callies forged engine (Complete truck harness, ECMs. etc...) with 4L80e trans and multiple t-cases for a total package. Craigslist add located here:

Pics added for everything except the Genright Ext Comp tank and the TWF PVC insert and the Hi 12 bolt wheels. I didn't want to open the boxes got the tank or the inserts and the wheels are in the shed out back and they look like any other hummer wheels. If you want links for the gas tank and the inserts let me know and I can send you links.
The links upper and lower are STRONG. The details of the links have been added to the listing above. Also notice the high steer arms on the front axle and the trac bar and tierod. These go with it.
I also found a brand new Astro Van steering box to help with the stretch and will throw it in for the price above.
Let me know if there are any more questions

Tuesday night after practice, the media talked to cornerback Dee Milliner and right guard Anthony Steen. Here are some highlights...
1. Being No. 1 in both the AP and Coaches' polls is not a hot topic of conversation among Alabama players. Steen didn't even know his team was sitting atop the polls, and Milliner knew, but shrugged it off as no big deal.
"Yeah I saw that today," Milliner said. "We're just not really worried about where we're ranked in the polls right now. We won our first game. That's really all this team has done. We're just focused on winning the next game, and the game after that. Just focus week by week on the games we've got to play and try to win them all."
2. Steen's shoe came off in the first couple of minutes against Michigan, causing him to go to the sideline for 2-3 plays. He said he was reprimanded by head coach Nick Saban and offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland.
"Somebody stepped on my foot when I was diving out to block a guy, I couldn't get it back on," he said. "I keep my shoes real tight, so when it comes off, I cant get it back on. I had the trainer do it for me, and it took forever. Coach was pretty pissed about that. The trainer got ripped in one, too. He was mad."
3. Milliner said he (like everybody else) was impressed with true freshman running back T.J. Yeldon's performance Saturday. He said he's gotten to see what it's like to go up against Yeldon firsthand, as they face each other in practice all the time.
"We have team run and he's always back making plays like he did in the game," Milliner said.
4. Milliner said that they don't approach this week preparing for Western Kentucky any differently than if they were prepping for a top-ranked team.
"We never treat another team like they're lower than another team that we play," he said. "We treat every team like they're going to be another great game, like they're highly ranked, each time we play.
"They've got a lot of great skill guys, a lot of returning starters on offense. They're probably a mature team, experienced, and they're going to know what they're doing on the field."
5. A.J. McCarron had a lot of success throwing on play-action passes against Michigan. A crucial part of that success is the offensive line selling the play-action fake.
"We're just trying to sell it as much as we can" Steen said. "Coach tells us everyday to sell it and make it look like a run so AJ can have enough time and for the receivers to be open down the field. Right now, we're doing pretty good."

Women are MORE at risk of getting STIs from sex with a male partner. It is riskier to be the penetrated party than the one doing the penetrating. Fact of biology. It is true that condoms don't fully protect against everything all the time. But they do cut down the risk of transmission significantly.
So, yeah, men should use condom's for 'women's sake.' I do believe men need to be aware to use condoms partly because of the increased risk women bear in sex even as the main reason remains that condom use reduces men's exposure to STIs and reduces pregnancies. And condoms used properly do so with great efficiency.
And you should feel what you feel in regards to your thoughtless former lover. It is good he told you he had unprotected sex before you and he had sex again. But that is just being an adult. No need for kudos. It is ok to feel betrayed and to lose trust in him. That doesn't make him evil, a villain, or an all around asshole. He has shown himself to be unreliable and untrustworthy. Not worth giving a fuck, literally. He has shown you who he truly is. It seems you believe him and have disentangled yourself sexually which is wise.

I actually liked him more in ME3 as you saw more of his character and the story just seemed to be better over all. There is just something about his ME2 story that just doesn't feel "good" to me. I can't really place it though to put it into specifics.

Jacob was an alright person. He was the person who wanted to follow in Shepard's footsteps. After seeing his success as a solo operative with a crew. They created a program that was like him (Corsairs I believe), which Jacob participated in. But since Jacob was not a Spectre, he was caught in a little bit of red tape. Which eventually led to his participation with Cerberus.
As for the Squadmate choices. I have been the Tali fanboy and always gone with her when possible. I swear it's the suit and dem hips.
I actually don't mind Jacob's story. Sure, it sucks if you romanced him and wanted to continue it, but I didn't like Jacob AS a romance option even in 2. I just found him annoying and overly flirtatious if you're nice to him off the start, even before actual romance options appear.

Kaiden, Ashley, James and Jacob are kinda boring.
But at least James makes up for it for at least being kinda funny.
i was not crying in the shower
i just realized how i'll never get to meet darth vader and then soap got in my eye - Kylo Ren
I'm not really sure of Kaiden. He has always died on Virmire for me. But I know he was a survivor of jump zero and chooses to live with the imperfections that it brought (L2 implants). I cannot say too much about Kasumi either since we aren't given much of a detailed backstory on her.
Zaeed is more likable to us, because he does whatever he wants. He gets the job done, no matter what. So he emulates the Spectre aspect of Shepard.

Sheperd was engineer, by the reapers. *tin foil hat*
but seriously James was brilliant him and garrus doing the pissing contest, loved it. "The harvesters left and egg and I tamed it and flew on it " ok thats not the exact phrase but its still funny
James and Javik are amazing.
BTW: I can totally see how Cerberus could have something to do with "crafting" Shepard before ME1. I mean Cerberus wants to uplift humanity and there has never been any human Spectre. So what does Cerberus do? They look for an amazing dude/girl and try to "guide" them passively through events like Akuze. They probably knew that Shep was there with his squad.
Also Cerberus could have helped Shepard get out of that slums on Earth as Earthborn and of course they would have likely not appeared as Cerberus to Shepard but maybe as some benevolent dudes that wanted to help Shepard.
In some way TIM saw that Shepard is the hope for humanity in defeating the Reapers and gaining more influence in the galactic society. TIM knew about the Reapers since he came into contact with that Artifact in the "Evolution" comic which took place over 25 years prior to ME1. That means that he may have looked for a way to defeat them which is visible by him trying to create biotic "weapon" children (like Jack) and maybe also by helping Shepard.
I watched the animation of James back story. I actually enjoyed watching that. To me james is what you will find in a lot of soldiers. A load of bravado joking around etc infact hes just like my mate whos last name is james. I reminded him of this.
Jack and Shepard were the subjects I tried to forge into weapons (of course there were others too) and both of them were a success even if both of them ended up with the Alliance in ME3.
I think it is pretty ironic that Shepard goes from "Control is BAAAD" to "So TIM was right after all" in a matter of 5 minutes at the end. Why has he not believed me when I told him "Control is the means to survival" yet he believed it from an unknown super intelligent AI which he does not even know?
Ah well pretty ironic that he ended up controlling the Reapers anyway despite him accusing me for trying to do it mere minutes before he used that electric sticks to CONTROL them *confused*

JK aside, I'm not sure what I want from the new ME games. Will our character bloody surivive this time? I'd like to think if i do everything perfectly I get the option to. I dont mind my character dieing, but only if i make the wrong choices.
Jack Harper "died" and "The Illusive Man" was born.
BTW: I would actually love to play as Jack Harper during the First Contact !! It would fit perfectly because ME has always been about a squad of 3 (Shep and 2 others) on Missions and Jack also had 2 friends with him during the missions (Ben Hislop and Eva Coré).
That would be amazing.
Or something utterly odd, we go a few hundreds years into the future and we find a new threat one that the reapers would not withstand. Something that wants to devour all life organic and synthetic! (or synthesis.... urgh)
They were the dominators of the Galaxy a few billion years before ME so I can assume that they want to once more enthrall everyone. Maybe those 3 Leviathans we saw are not the only surviving ones and there are actually a lot more of them hiding?
Leviathans would be a thread much bigger than the Reapers are !! Look at how easily they can control a reaper ship
I'd rather have a sequel, a prequel would make every actions and choices meaningless as it wouldn't change the outcome of everything happening in the first three mass effect games.
I'd like a threat seemingly unrelated to the reapers at first that then turn out to be a consequence of the reapers beeing out of the picture. And at the end "The Reapers were right all along!"

Is Cord Blood A Source For Controversial Stem Cells?
No. And it's important to understand the difference.
There are two different types of stem cells. Embryos have "pluripotent" stem cells, which are the most basic stem cells. They are primitive (or undifferentiated) and they are the building blocks for new tissue and organs. They are clearly very useful medically.
The controversy over these stem cells is that they must be taken from embryos and some people believe it is unethical to destroy an embryo for medical or research purposes.
The Stem Cell Controversy Is Not Over Cord Blood Stem Cells
The stem cells found in the baby's cord blood are fundamentally different. They are not taken from an embryo, but rather from an umbilical cord (which is generally discarded) after a baby's birth. There is no controversy about collecting and storing cord blood stem cells because the cord blood would otherwise be medical waste.
Although, to date, cord blood treatments have only been used to treat blood diseases, there has been extensive medical evidence that, under the right circumstances, cord blood treatments using stems cells could be used to treat a much broader range of diseases. The beauty of using stem cells harvested from cord blood rather than embryos is that there is no stem cell controversy.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Last week, agents from the Attorney General's Insurance Fraud Section filed criminal charges against six New York residents who are accused of conspiring to use the address of one defendant's Monroe County, Pa., home to falsely obtain driver licenses, vehicle registration and insurance coverage for 14 vehicles, including vans linked to an illegal school bus operation in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Attorney General Tom Corbett said defendants Benito Berrios Sr.; his long-time companion, Maria Hernandez; the couple's two adult children, Benito Berrios Jr. and Deana Berrios; and two of Barrios Sr.'s daughters-in-law, Melissa Berrios and Donna Berrios, allegedly used the vans licensed and insured in Pennsylvania to regularly transport students in Brooklyn, despite stating on title, registration and insurance documents that the vehicles would be used exclusively for non-commercial purposes in Monroe County.
The defendants were taken into custody on Jan. 23 and were arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Anthony Fluegel. They were charged with one count of criminal conspiracy, insurance fraud for fraudulent vehicle registration, theft by deception and tampering with public records — all third-degree felonies punishable by up to seven years in prison and a $15,000 fine.
They were also charged with one count of false application for a certificate of title or registration — a first-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine — as well as one count of insurance fraud (for fraudulent insurance application) and one count of unsworn falsifications to authorities, both third-degree misdemeanors punishable by up to one year in prison and a $2,500 fine.
The defendants were released on $25,000 unsecured bail, and preliminary hearings were scheduled for Feb. 1.

I admit it. I made fun of the Cowboys for spending a fifth-round draft pick on a kickoff specialist in 2008. But former USC kicker David Buehler has been the best draft pick from that class and he led the NFL in touchbacks this season with 29. In fact, he broke Lin Elliot's team-record of 28 in the Cowboys' season finale.
I used my weekly ESPNDallas.com column to discuss young Buehler's work. Here's a portion of the column:
"Some of you may have noticed that Buehler began a wild celebration Saturday when reserve wide receiver Kevin Ogletree raced down the field on a kickoff in the first quarter and destroyed Eagles return man Victor "Macho" Harris. The Eagles' starting safety was forced to leave the game. I asked Buehler what led to his wild display that brought back memories of Martin Gramatica, a man who could celebrate the smallest of achievements."
Ogletree's my roommate and he'd been telling me all week that he was going to have a huge hit on special teams," said Buehler. "I didn't expect that at all, because it's not like he's a real physical guy. I just got really excited for him."
