Rohan Gunaratna (born 1961) is an international terrorism expert. He is the head of the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research (ICPVTR)[1] at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Currently, he is a professor of Security studies at the ICPVTR in S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies. By its size, ICPVTR is one of the largest counter-terrorism research and training centres in the world.
Gunaratna[2] received his Masters from the University of Notre Dame (USA), where he was Hesburgh Scholar and his doctorate from the University of St Andrews (Scotland), where he was British Chevening Scholar.
A former Senior Fellow at the Combating Terrorism Centre at the United States Military Academy at West Point (New York), he was invited to testify on the structure of al Qaeda before the 9/11 Commission. The author of 15 books, including Inside al Qaeda: Global Network of Terror (University of Columbia Press), Gunaratna interviewed terrorists and insurgents in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Saudi Arabia and other conflict zones. For advancing international security cooperation, Gunaratna received the Major General Ralph H. Van Deman Award in June 2014.[citation needed]
A Member of the Steering Committee of George Washington University's Homeland Security Policy Institute, Gunaratna is also Senior Fellow both at Fletcher School for Law and Diplomacy's Jebsen Center for Counter Terrorism Studies and the Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism, Oklahoma.[citation needed]
Invited to testify before the 9-11 Commission on the structure of al Qaeda, Gunaratna led the specialist team that built the UN Database on al Qaeda, Taliban and their Entities. The author and editor of 12 books including Inside Al Qaeda: Global Network of Terror (Columbia University Press), an international best-seller, Gunaratna is also the lead author of Jane's Counter Terrorism, a handbook for counter terrorism practitioners. His latest book with Michael Chandler, former Chairman of the UN Monitoring Group into the Mobility, Weapons and Finance is Countering Terrorism: Can We Meet the Threat of Global Violence? He serves on the editorial boards of Studies in Conflict and Terrorism and Terrorism and Political Violence, leading academic journals in the field.[citation needed]
He has said that Al-Qaeda commander Hambali regularly visited Australia. This claim was later refuted by Australian authorities as lacking in evidence.[3] Commenting on one of his books, the Pacific Journalism Review said in its review that "his writing here on Indonesia reveals a remarkably narrow selection of sources, a profound lack of knowledge, and a flawed understanding of the history of the Indonesian armed forces and of their intelligence operates".[4]
Following an investigation by The Sunday Age, Gunaratna retracted some of the credentials formerly found in many his books.[clarification needed][5]
Ontario Superior Court of Justice's verdict against Gunaratna
In a February 2011 article in Lakbima News, Gunaratna claimed that the Canadian Tamil Congress (CTC) was a front for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.[6]
The CTC sued Gunaratna, and, on 21 January 2014, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice ruled against Gunaratna, ordering home to pay the CTC damages of $37,000, and costs of $16,000.[7][8] In his ruling judge Stephen E. Firestone stated that Gunaratna's claims were unequivocally and incontrovertibly "false and untrue".[9][10]

The Cult of Dani Campbell
Okay, so I suppose it's time to admit that I've caught a little bit of MTV's "A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila," and all I really have to say about that is HOW COULD SHE HAVE CHOSEN BOBBY OVER DANI?
I mean, really. Houston's very own Vietnamese MySpace nymphette Tila Tequila (whose head shape reminds me of that classic alien head we see in all those Roswell sketches) chose the boy over the girl in her bisexual dating show. This leads me to believe that while the jury is still out on Tila's alleged bisexuality, she is definitely, without a doubt, totally freaking crazy. Why? Because most straight women I know would have preferred dating Dani, the girl, over Bobby, the boy. And by "boy" I mean gel-headed goober who cannot rap to save his gel-headed soul.
I mean, Dani is not only adorable, what with that cute pixie cut and shy grin of hers, she seems totally at ease and confident in herself – a rarity on a reality dating show. Never once did we get the feeling that Dani was playing up for the cameras or faking it. She was just a soft butch cutie pie firefighter with a heart of gold.
As my friend Melissa and I settled in to watch the finale, we both crossed our fingers that Dani would win. Here we were, two women married to men (one of us with kids), dying and crushing over Dani Campbell.

"I feel like we could leave our husbands to be with Dani," I whispered.
"I know what you mean," Melissa answered, not taking her eyes off the screen.
We weren't alone. Minutes after the last episode aired, we ran to Dani's MySpace page to read comment after distressed comment, all from women, many who professed loving Dani despite their straightness:
"So it's official I am pissed she didn't pick you."
"Yo Tila fucked uppp I would date you and im not even gay haha"
"Dani you are such a sweetie you are totally amazing!!!!!"
"tila is dumb she should hav picked you I mean BOBBY?"
"I cryed when she didn't call your name"
While I'm sure that last comment is more true than we'll ever realize, the bottom line is that straight girls haven't been this head over heels for a pretty girl since Rob Lowe came on the scene.
I think, maybe, Dani's appeal is the same thing that's made straight teen girls go mushy over boys like Ralph Macchio, Ricky Schroder, Justin Timberlake, and Zac Efron for lo so many years. The soft, almost androgynous, appeal of their features. Their non-threatening yet somehow protective masculinity that's mixed with just a touch of feminine softness and sensitivity. The fact that none of them seem to have that itchy beard scruff that leaves scratches.
Anyway, I'm no human sexuality expert or gender studies guru, so honestly, what the Hell do I know? All I'm sure about is Dani sure won't be hurting for action or attention after last night's finale.
And Tila, I hope you and Mr. Donkey Dick are very happy together. – Jennifer Mathieu

Bolt Prospect of the Week: 10-23-12
This week?s winner of the Tampa Bay Lightning Prospect of the Week award is no stranger to winning.
Despite winning a Calder Cup last season, Lightning goaltending prospect Dustin Tokarski wasn?t guaranteed anything when he moved with Tampa Bay?s affiliation from Norfolk to Syracuse. Even with a Calder Cup, World Juniors gold medal, Memorial Cup, Ed Chynoweth Cup (WHL), and Telus Cup (Canadian Midget-level hockey) on his resume, the Saskatchewan native had to outplay former Lightning first rounder and Finnish import Riku Helenius for the right to start the Crunch?s season-opening game.
The battle isn?t over ? and likely won?t be anytime soon ? as Syracuse Head Coach Jon Cooper anticipates rotating the goaltenders until one separates himself from the other.
Tokarski - nicknamed "Tic" and sporting "The Tick" superhero on his helmet - may have taken a slight lead this past weekend on the road.
On Friday night, Tokarski stopped 25 of 27 shots as the Crunch came from behind to top the Devils in Albany, 3-2. One night later he was watching from the bench as Helenius got the start, but allowed five goals in just under 27 minutes of action. ?Tic? was summoned from the bench to plug the dam but he decided to play superhero instead, stopping 14 of 14 shots in relief as Syracuse completed a monumental comeback with a 6-5 overtime win.
Tokarski maintained superhero-status on Sunday, saving all but a late third period shot to nearly record a shutout against the Wilkes-Barre Penguins in Pennsylvania. With Sunday?s win, the Crunch completed a weekend sweep and returned home to New York with six points added to their total in the league standings. At 4-0-0-1, the Crunch are looking down on everyone in the league from atop the conference. They also lead the league in goals with 21.
That's almost as impressive as Tokarski not losing in regulation in his last 17 regular season games (16-0-1).? Add in last year?s playoff numbers and he?s 29-2-1 in his last 32 games.
Not bad for a player who lasted until the fifth round of the 2009 NHL draft because of size concerns.
For the season, Tokarski is 3-0-1 with a 2.19 goals against average and a .907 save percentage. Last year he finished with a 32-11 record to go with a 2.23 GAA and .913 sv%.
Ranked the Lightning?s No. 8 prospect in the organization by BoltProspects.com, Tokarski projects as an NHL starting goaltender in the future. He has the smarts, athletic ability, and desire to be a solid NHL goaltender capable of winning big games and leading his team deep in the playoffs. He may not top out as an All-Star, but don't bet against him achieving superhero status if that?s what his team needs.

Yearning for the Glamorous Golden Age of Flying
'Boeing Boeing,' JetBlue Indulge In Nostalgia
'Boeing Boeing," a current hit on Broadway, is a revival of a 1960s farce about a bachelor in Paris who juggles three girlfriends, all dazzling, miniskirted stewardesses, by relying on the accuracy of airline timetables to schedule trysts. "My fiancées wheel about the earth so precisely as to be almost poetic," boasts the cad "Bernard."
Audiences in New York and London have found the proposition hysterical. Of course even in the early days of jet travel, airline flights run into delays and cancellations and schedules get discombobulated. Hilarity ensues.
The production, which won two Tony awards this year, channels a feeling many travelers share these days -- nostalgia for the good ol' days when flying was an uncrowded, enjoyable, adventurous dress-up luxury. You hear it often from longtime road warriors who hate the unpredictable flying-bus travel of today, especially in summer, when the U.S. air-travel system bogs down with long lines, late flights, missed connections and gruff service. Move along, shut up and pay your fees, right?
Nostalgia for the glam days of air-travel seems to be growing. JetBlue Airways Corp. JBLU 1.30 % , for example, has launched an advertising campaign touting "Happy Jetting" that uses '60s style type in its print ads to give it a retro feel, trying to recall not only JetBlue's early days before it ran smack into long delays and stranded passengers, but also to the fond feelings people once had for air travel.
Scott McCartney describes the Broadway revival "Boeing Boeing," and tells us whether flying will ever be the same again.
Can we ever go back to the fun traveling days of the 1960s and 1970s? What do you miss most about those bygone days? Share your thoughts.
"I don't think people have let go of looking for every aspect of travel to be experiential," said Fiona Morrison, JetBlue's director of brand management and advertising.
There also have been various calls to rethink deregulation of the airline industry as it enters another tumultuous recession because of high fuel costs. Removing government controls on airline schedules and prices ignited tremendous growth in air travel, boosting the national economy and changing our lifestyles by making air travel cheap and available to the masses. But it also has meant instability for airlines, poorer service for many travelers and congestion in the skies, on runways and in terminals.
Robert Crandall, the now-retired chief of AMR Corp.'s American Airlines, recently called for re-regulating some aspects of the business, such as government playing a greater role in airline schedules to curb devastating delays.
"The idea of allowing airlines to schedule more flights than an airport can handle is unacceptable stupidity," Mr. Crandall said in an interview. "We can't have planes sitting for hours and spilling fuel out the tailpipe."
The nation needs to accelerate deployment of a satellite-based navigation system as well, he said, because it will boost capacity, speed up air travel, reduce fuel use and pollution, and improve airline finances.
Of course, the good ol' days weren't as good as we probably remember them today -- flying was expensive and sometimes unreliable even then. Today's jets are more dependable mechanically and fly faster and higher in smoother air. Flying is much safer today than it was even 20 years ago, and airline schedules offer much more flexibility to consumers than they did in the 1960s and 1970s.
The trade-off for low ticket prices and ample air service is that airline seats are squished together, terminals are chock-a-block, passengers are sorted through connecting hub airports, more luggage gets lost, and delays have become rampant.
Few people in aviation, including Mr. Crandall, think we can ever go back to the days when half of the seats on jets were empty, offering comfort to fliers, and airports and airlines operated far below peak capacity. The reality of the airline world is that many travelers -- not all, but certainly most -- buy based on low prices and schedule convenience. They won't pay more for the promise of extra legroom and onboard meals.
"People regard the airline seat as a commodity," Mr. Crandall said.
JetBlue took off eight years ago trying to differentiate itself with some frills as well as cheap ticket prices, offering leather seats, onboard satellite television, friendly flight attendants and snacks instead of peanuts.
"When we launched, we were harking back to the glory days when it was exciting to travel," says Ms. Morrison. The "Happy Jetting" campaign is an attempt to recapture the airlines early days instead of the recent history of planes stranded in snowstorms and long delays.
"Boeing Boeing" harks back much further to a day when airlines also sold sex appeal, with glamorous stewardesses chosen partly for their looks. The show was a flop on Broadway when it arrived in 1965, lasting only 23 performances. (The French farce, written by Marc Camoletti, had been a hit in Paris and London, and was made into a movie starring Tony Curtis and Jerry Lewis.)
But today it is much funnier because its premise seems so preposterous -- one man trying to organize three relationships based on airline schedules, a two-day layover for "Gloria," a Trans World Airlines stewardess, followed in short order by visits from "Gabriella" from Alitalia and "Gretchen" from Lufthansa. Say goodbye to one over lunch; welcome another a few hours later over dinner. "You just follow the timetable," says "Bernard," played by Bradley Whitford of "West Wing" fame.
Actress Kathryn Hahn, who plays "Gloria," said in an interview that many flight attendants come to see the show and lament at how much more difficult their jobs are now, with worries about air rage, terrorism, difficult travel and company layoffs.
"There's also something sad, something innocent about this play after Sept. 11 and after so many horrible travel tales," Ms. Hahn said.
Producer Sonia Friedman says "Boeing Boeing" would have been a disaster 10 years ago, with its political incorrectness and stereotypes panned by audiences and critics. Producers had a difficult time raising money for the revival, which opened last year in London, but the show proved a hit.
"It taps into a time people recall fondly," says Ms. Friedman, not only in terms of travel but also in relationships and sex. "And we know we can never do it again."

Secret Romney Video Ties Him to Sex Party-Loving Hedge Fund Manager
Posted on Sep 18, 2012
Just when you thought the story about Mitt Romney saying some pretty outrageous things about Obama supporters while being secretly videotaped couldn't get any better, it did. According to Mother Jones' David Corn, the footage was shot during a fundraiser at the home of Marc Leder, a hedge fund manager dubbed the "private equity party boy" and known for throwing pretty lascivious affairs in the Hamptons, N.Y. We're talking parties that involve sex, but not the kind intended for the purpose of planting a zygote in the womb, thereby going against a core conservative value and basically everything Republicans stand for.
The New York Post described one such event as follows:
Imagine what Rick Santorum would say if he heard about such a party? Quelle horreur!
Of course, there were no sex acts on record the night that Romney held a $50,000-a-plate fundraiser at Leder's Boca Raton, Fla., estate. No, there were reportedly just insults leveled by Romney at nearly half of Americans, those whom he appeared to describe as "moochers" in the video.
Here's the controversial quote:
In addition to lending Romney the use of his home, Leder has given roughly $300,000 to the Republican presidential nominee and other GOP candidates this election cycle. Who's mooching off whom now?

Kenseth wins wild Daytona 500
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – There was rain, fire, soap suds and fog in the most bizarre Daytona 500 in history.
When it was all over, Matt Kenseth was the only sure thing.
It wasn't even close.
Kenseth capped a crazy 36 hours for NASCAR by winning the first postponed Daytona 500 in 55 editions of the marquee event. He held off Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Roush Fenway Racing teammate Greg Biffle over a two-lap overtime finish in a race that was scheduled to begin Sunday afternoon but ended in the early morning hours today.
Rain at Daytona International Speedway first forced NASCAR to push the race to Monday afternoon, then Monday night for the first 500 in primetime television. Then a freak accident caused a massive fuel fire that stopped the race for two hours as safety workers used Tide laundry detergent to clean up the track.
When the racing finally resumed, it was obvious it was Kenseth's to lose as nobody had anything to challenge his Ford.
Journeyman driver Dave Blaney was leading when a problem with Juan Pablo Montoya's car sent him spinning under caution into a safety truck.
The truck, which holds 200 gallons of jet kerosene, burst into flames. Montoya's car slid into the grass, and he gingerly climbed from it as fire trucks rushed to the scene. The inferno raged on, and NASCAR red-flagged the race with 40 laps remaining.
The race was delayed 2 hours, 5 minutes and 29 seconds while track workers scrambled to fix the track.
Montoya, who said his helmet was singed in the fire and his foot ached, said he felt a vibration in his car before the accident.
"I've hit a lot of things — but a jet dryer?" he said. "It just felt really strange, and as I was talking on the radio, the car just turned right."

That's the message Friday night from members of the "Jackson Baldwin, Pay it Forward Foundation" and they're planning to convey that act at an annual auction, this weekend.
The Baldwin foundation was created in honor of Jackson Baldwin, a Lewiston boy who passed away in 2006, after battling stage four neuro-blastoma. Board member and Jackson's father Scott Baldwin said the idea of helping others, came from Jackson himself. Instead of presents for his tenth birthday, Jackson said he wanted to raise money for another young boy who was also sick. he sadly passed away before the celebration.
"We had the party anyway in his honor and raised $6,000 for Connor towards his bone marrow transplant," said Scott Baldwin. "After that we thought you know the community has been so awesome for us we want to keep paying it forward and that's what we do."
This weekend the foundation is hosting their bi-annual auction, to keep paying it forward to other families whose children battle illnesses. Tickets are $25 and the auction takes place at the Nez Perce County Fair Pavilion.

Ladbrokes Bingo Review
Ladbrokes Bingo Review
We know what you're thinking. With the first three letters of Ladbrokes being L-A-D, this bingo website must be for the lads.
Well, it's true that the company, which was founded in 1886, traces its roots to horse racing. Over the years Ladbrokes expanded into bookmaking for football, and then into other sports and forms of gaming – both physical and virtual. So we assure you, Ladbrokes online bingo site is not just for lads… it definitely appeals to ladies too.
What you should also know is that in July 2015, Ladbrokes merged with Gala Coral Group. Big deal, right? It is. Because Gala Coral Group owns the popular Gala Bingo online website. So that means you can expect to see bingo.ladbrokes.com build on its already super strong rep and add even more cool and competitive features in the future.
The folks at Ladbrokes sure know how to offer an attractive welcome bonus. First of all, they've made it quick and easy to sign up. You can do it in one minute or less. Second, they've got an incentive so that when you make your first deposit of £10, you'll get a £20 bingo bonus and a £10 'all games' bonus. That means you'll have £40 to play with. Last but not least, you'll get access to the Guest Room (a room where you can play bingo for free!) for seven days.
There are other terrific promotions too. How does a birthday bonus sound? We like the Super Free Bingo held daily in The Attic (check for the specific times). The competition for the Roomie of the Week is great fun too. If you like to chat while you play, be sure to enter. You could win additional prizes.
And, well, there are so many more daily, weekly and monthly promotions at Ladbrokes online bingo site that we can't begin to mention them all here. You'll just have to log in regularly and check them out for yourself.
Ladbrokes has what you want – lots of classic 75- and 90-ball bingo games. Named for rooms in a big house, you can play in the Lucky Loft, Basement, Room with a View, Bedroom, Living Room, Snug and even the Garage (where numbers are called out at a speedy pace). We like to elevate our game, by heading up to the Attic or outside to The Treehouse.
There are some special branded rooms for fans of the TV game shows 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?' and 'Deal or No Deal'.
And Ladbrokes has some online bingo games you probably didn't know you'd want… but you do! Take 80-ball bingo, for example. It's exciting because you not only get to play lines horizontally, but also vertically and diagonally – and sometimes you get prizes for filling in all four corners.
With so many different types of slots and scratchcards at Ladbrokes online bingo site, there's no chance you'll ever get bored. Among the most popular are Big Top Tombola, Bouncy Balls, Britain's Got Talent Superstar, Clover Rollover, Fruity Burst and Mafia Millions.
Fireworkz Blitz is tops in our book. And it's not because Fireworkz has been spelled with a zed, although we always love to see the letter Z. (Youz getz whatz weez mean?) We like Fireworkz Blitz because there are six colourful firework symbols with fun names – like the red one is called 'Sparky' and the yellow one is 'Flash'. They're all surrounded on the screen by a slightly alarming amount of neon purple smoke. Plus, the game seems to operate kind of like Tetris gone awry. You need to match five symbols – either horizontally or vertically – and often symbols are moving up and around, always changing your chances for those combos.
One more thing: We'd be remiss not to mention Chickeno (who doesn't love watching a chicken knit and lay eggs?). It's one of Ladbrokes' many mini-games.
We're calling it 'mighty' because Ladbrokes not only has a mobile app that you can download on any Apple or Android device, but it also has a mobile website. So if you don't feel like downloading the app, just go to mobile.ladbrokes.com, click 'Bingo' and then click 'Play Now'. On both the mobile app and the mobile site, you'll find Ladbrokes' most popular games as well as its chat feature.
We don't usually like to wax poetic about online bingo websites, but if we were to compose a love letter to Ladbrokes Bingo it would be simple and might go something like this:
Dear Ladbrokes Bingo,
You have further fueled our longtime love of bingo, which started young. We visit your site. Often. Please don't tell the other sites.

Making a "Game" using C: Where should I start?
#1 Members - Reputation: 94
Posted 18 July 2011 - 08:54 PM
So I'm asked to make this "game" wherein there is a walled environment (min size is 20 rows x 70 columns). So there is no real objective in this game. There are supposed to be 3 big blocks and then there is a character that is supposed to move in all directions (up, down, left, right, and diagonally). The user can generate food, and the user can also make that character eat the food. The user can make the character run (move 2x it's normal speed) and the user can also generate blocks, separate from those 3 blocks and the user can make the character move those blocks.
Another complicated thing is that the user should have the ability to change the character's color and the blocks beside it (Think of it as sort of like de Blob).
Soooooo, how do you guys suppose I start? Any help will be HIGHLY appreciated. Thank you and God Bless!
P.S. You guys can also reach me through:

Its scary that new people get advice from someone like yourself. That was the most useless, un-informed post Ive seen in a while. C sucks anyway? What does that even mean?

Solving these tasks basically mean breaking down the problem. It's fairly easy with your game, if you are a bit more experienced.
First, you need to display something (maybe just "place holder" "graphics"), but it's important to see what you are doing. Display something, then hard code the maze (manually filling out an "array" in the source code), then display it.
Then, "make the character": a little block that you can move around with the keyboard for example (during game development, you will implement lots of stuff that will be totally dropped later, but you will need those temporary quickly-hacked stuff to be able to test your important functions/features).
Next (if I understand correctly), you will need to perform some kind of order mechanism: implement input (to be able to determine to which "tile" the character needs to move). Then implement movement to that tile (discard walls at this point)
Next (if I understand correctly), you will need to implement "path finding", to avoid and navigate between walls.
After that, all the other fancy stuff should be pretty straightforward.
So: this task is a bit out of reach if you are a total beginner, start with something simpler, then move on to this "project".

If not, and working with only console application, then something you'll want to look into is how to clear the screen so that each new display is the only thing displayed.
EDIT: took out some bad information

No, please don't do that. -When you can, avoid using system calls like that. Also C++ libs != C libs.
Are you talking about making a DOS game?
If not, and working with only console application, then something you'll want to look into is how to clear the screen so that each new display is the only thing displayed. There are C libraries just for that that you'll want to look for.
Is the function I've used in the past to clear the screen in a windows console application. It's part of the cstdlib. I've meddled with console based games before but the most I've made is a card game for which I used system("cls");
That's the only tip I feel comfortable with giving at this point, and alvaro gave good advice on how to start thinking about your project.
Chcek out this great tutorial if you want to create a proper Windows platform-dependent console application: http://www.adrianxw..../Consoles1.html
(And native console applications are always platform dependant. -Creating your own console in your favourite cross-platform graphics library is a possibility for platform independence...)

By the way, I know how to use C, but like what I've said, I'm a total beginner
So how do you guys suppose i make the border of the game?
@Iggyt: Yep, I've thought of doing it like that, similar to those old text based RPGs.
#11 Members - Reputation: 104
Posted 19 July 2011 - 03:31 AM
char map[20][70]; //array
And then use loops to set the outlying borders. Then a simple collision check would be to see when the character moves if that next space is whatever you use for borders, and if it is then -1 from his current location after you calculated that movement so that he's not inside the border before you display.
alternatively you can set the borders at the declaration of the array, too.
@SuperVGA ...huh, I had no idea they were so messy. I received the code from a friend that had been using it a while and blindly trusted it, thanks for the link.

You can do a lot more in C than you can do in game maker. Anyway, keep going with C. It's a good script to use. I C++, but I'm not suggesting to use it.

Currently, NWCC is looking for a permanent location to host service on Sundays and midweek gatherings. We are scheduled to relaunch the end of March, 2016.

What to expect at NWCC:
- A safe place for everyone
- Authentic relationships
- Real life messages
- Engaging Children's Church

Following Jesus' example – meeting people where they are by being real and authentic.
Understanding that "doing life together" is a part of God's design as we establish a genuine community of faith.
Encouraging each other to grow in our spiritual journey, manage the challenges we face, and share our faith story with others.

Ex-Hostage Richard Queen Says He's Feeling Better, Thank You—but Hold the Lobster
Celebrity has come to Richard Queen at a high price indeed. A career diplomat on his first overseas assignment, he was the vice-consul in charge of processing Iranian visas to the U.S. when the embassy was taken over last November 4. By mid-December he noticed a numbness in his left hand, and by this spring he was suffering from dizziness and vomiting. Released from captivity as a result, Queen was flown to Georgetown Hospital in Washington, D.C., where his disease was confirmed to be multiple sclerosis—a degenerative nerve disease with no known origin. "My doctor said the detention might have kicked it off," he says, but he emphasizes that he was not mistreated by his captors. "You had some really fine people there," he says, "and you had some SOBs. I took them as individuals."
Though his health continues to improve, Queen says, "My balance is still not that good." Doctors have prescribed activities like typing and swimming to combat persistent dizziness and enhance coordination; he has jogged twice around the backyard and recently went fishing. "There is no way to know whether another attack will occur in a week, a month or 10 years," says a neurological expert who treated Queen. "In general one proceeds with the assumption that the patient will lead a normal life."
Richard's daily routine includes telephone calls to the families of three or four hostages, which he finds "emotionally draining—they want to know everything, anything." With exacerbating factors like Tehran's angry reaction last week to the jailing of Iranian demonstrators in the U.S., Queen spends about 45 minutes on each call. The State Department is footing the bills, and since the local phone company has a minuscule staff, Richard jokes that "I'm sure my longdistance calls are making them rich." The State Department has given him a month off, and he was advised to postpone another overseas assignment until next year, he says, "because the hospital wants to keep tabs on me." As for his dubious celebrity, Queen hopes it will end when he shaves off his beard—a memento of his eight months in captivity—for his Army reserve stint this fall. "I can't wait to get back to work," he says. "I'm tired of sitting around."

These guys are awesome. Specializing in BMW only, they have been working on them for years and cost about half as much as the dealership. Will be long time customer and will be sending all my friends here..–Ben
Freddy and his staff are really great folks! I took my wife's car to them with a couple of repairs that had been diagnosed at the BMW dealership. They verified the need and charged us a great deal less that what we would have paid at the dealership. I would highly recommend Bimmer Werks to any BMW owner who wants the job done right. We will never go anywhere else again for our repairs. Thanks Freddy!!–Dan
Freddy is an experienced mechanic and provides thorough and honest service at a reasonable price. The entire staff at Bimmer Motor Werks provided excellent and professional customer service as well. I had taken my car to other supposed reputable auto shops who charged me an arm and a leg and didn't even fix the problem.

Just good plain honest advice. As the prior review stated. I trust him to help me make the right decisions to keep my BMW running smoothly. I refer everyone I know to him and have no plans to every take any of my bimmers to anyone else.–Roderick

Need some attack opinions
Okee dokee, so Far I have most of the (what I think are) good stage Eir attacks maxed: Holy Spirit, Pieces, Fog, Tears, both JoGs. Later on, I'm maxing DMB, but i want to decide on which attack skill to get next on subsequent Rebirths.
My options:
Moonlight Chain: This was originally my next choice, but it requires 11 points (I always have it at 1 for utility) to reach full damage and isn't very useful for air comboing mobs at great heights. Out of the attacks I'm considering, it has the highest total damage, but its useful pretty much only for bosses and big enemies.
Full Moon Bullet: I maxed this earlier and played around with it, and it's not bad. Since it can actually fly upwards at an angle, I can hit mobs at great heights, usually scoring 2-3 hits, and get some nice air combo damage with maxed modifiers. Cooldown is long though...
Dodge: This one is... eh. The only reason I'm considering it is because it has a 15 second cooldown and it's instant cast, but other than that the damage is very little. I'm not sure if the added height would do anything for me in myth other than allow me to travel under enemies to escape mobs (which would be good in CoC).
Sacred Wave: I thought about this one because it takes so few points to max it... I'm considering it because it has very nice height range in comparison to Eir's other skills, and it requires very little time to get it off. It also has slightly more power than Full Moon Bullet while sharing its cooldown.
Opinions pl0x!
Funny thing is that I didn't take Fog yet, and I took max Sacred wave instead is because fog doesn't do much to air comboable mobs. (Not like it could anyways unless it was a boss or a non-comboable mob) D: The max Sacred wave isn't that bad, the damage is decent compared to Eir's other attacking skills in myth, but I kinda regret picking this over moon fog.
I would generally say no to Full Moon Bullet because it's kinda unreliable in terms of the direction when it comes to pushing mobs, and I heard from few people telling me that dodge should be the last skill to max in attack. Because dodge is fire elemental, eir's wouldn't benefit as much if you maxed specializations that may come to glunia sometime in the future. I have level 1 dodge for cancels and escape tool I guess.
I never really liked chain for some odd reason, so to answer your question on poll, I'd say max sacred wave.
In light of the new specializations, I'm starting to be more inclined towards sacred wave since I'll probably go for Light(Shining)... also the fact that the only decent +2 dye that can go on CS pants is Sacred Wave, it seems it has more going for it. Oh, wasn't there something about not being able to dash cancel it at higher levels?
As for dodge, I have 1 in it, too, as an escape. They probably should have changed that to Light element as well...
Just my opinion on the damage skills without considering JOGs:
- Moon piece: I never tried it after the air combo myth patch, but I think their vertical reach is low and only hits 4 times in a combo, unlike the 8+ on ground.
- FMB: best vertical reach, but low damage, considering it will only hit 2 or 3 times at a wall.
- Tears: ok height, good damage. I just don't like it, so I don't have much to say here.
- Chain: good damage on ground, not so good in air as its reach is pretty low and gets only half the hits.
- Fog: good damage, good area, but won't hit in air.
- Wave: second best vertical reach, almost like a FMB going upwards. Will hit 3 times in most cases, doing more than FMB at walls. As of lvl 7, its still dash-cancelable.
- Dodge: this is a pvp/emergency skill, bad reach, low damage.
- HS: very low damage against non-comboable / wall, not much against comboables either, but helps push. Low reach.
Vertical reach:
FMB > Wave > Tears > Pieces / Chain / Dodge / HS > Fog
Damage on ground (single target, all hits):
Chain > Tears / Piece > Fog > HS > FMB > Wave > Dodge
Damage against airborne target at wall:
Tears / Chain > Wave > Piece > FMB > Dodge > HS > Fog
I tested the vertical reach of most skills (not pieces nor dodge) before rbing, so that's the most accurate info up there. The damage values and perception of usefulness are biased by my play style. I prefer Chain instead of Tears, for example.
On another note, I had max HS a long time ago, but I don't see it useful damage-wise outside of a combo. Its more of a utility skill IMO. Also, I have no idea on how will the skills be packed later with the elemental increase passive. That could change the question to which element to choose, instead of individual skills.
If you're not intending to change any of your other skills, I would recommend Chain or Wave.
For the record, I am maxing Chain, Fog and Wave from those listed.
Lots of useful info, thanks! One thing though, Max Sacred has higher base damage than FMB, and unless I've been doing it wrong (highly possible), I've only been able to hit 3 times at most even at lvls 2+ :O, so I'd think wave would be more damage?
As for Holy Spirit's usefulness, I think it's mainly the cool down and the ability to hit most large things 5 times that makes it appealing. Plus, it's flexible. I tend to cast Holy spirit, and immediately follow it up with another spell when against non-comboable enemies and bosses.
I could do 4 hits with a lvl 1 FMB at point blank in PF. That's why I consider 4 hit FMB in dmg on ground. At wall it only hits 2 or 3 times, that's why sacred wave wins there. It has the same issue as HS, as in using it closer to the enemy yields more hits.
And about FMB vs Wave, that was my dilemma before my last rb. I chose wave because of range and damage at walls, but FMB would be better if you lack some pushing skills, ie no HS or holy shout (SSSSS is too slow sometimes)
HS stuff:
I see that if you cancel it with another skill you could say it did some damage using 0.2s or so. If you can always spam skills to cancel it (HS → Pieces) I suppose it could do. But as I use it to combo Chain at walls, it only hits twice, that's why I don't see it as useful damage-wise.
Random fact: a 5 hit HS does slightly more damage than a 4 hit FMB, but with less MP and cd.
Hmmm, I see. I count only 3 hits when used against the Gods/Large enemies. I'm never point blank because I often just get it off whenever I can. I'll need to pay closer attention and see if I can achieve 4.
As far as combos, quite frankly, my combo ability leaves a lot to be desired... or not since most of the time, other people do a much better job at it and get it done a lot sooner (that's not saying I don't try my best though!). When I look at hits, I tend to focus only on damage against large enemies and bosses, since those are the types of enemies almost all of Eir's attacks have an affinity for.
Another Random Fact: HS can hit 6 times on Foriel... He's fat :O

"The "Alfur" EP is the second in the trilogy of records written by individual members of the Old Apparatus collective. "Alfur", produced by A. Levitas, offers a view of the rusted Old Apparatus universe from another angle; a suite of songs that weave together deep feeling and influence into a complex and very listenable EP, built for deep listening at loud volumes. "Alfur" is a mystical, deeply atmospheric five track set, recalling the spooked ambience of Third Eye Foundation and earlier Tricky material, with gauzy layers filtered through electronica and hip hop's modern digital mechanics" (label info)

The way printer inks work in a basic inkjet printer lies in thedesign of the inkjet heads. Cheap printer ink can be delivered in a disposable headink cartridge but there is also a fixed-head ink cartridge. Both work differentlyand have an assortment of people who prefer one to the other. The fixed head designfor printer inks was created in order for the consumer to be able to use the builtin print head for the duration of the printer. The head does not need to be replacedevery time people run out of printer inks. The cost to replace this type of inkusually results in cheap printer ink for most users. The only time that this type ofink cartridge head can be expensive is if the built in head becomes damaged orbroken. Sometimes it might be necessary to replace the entire printer and cheapprinter ink may no longer be an option.Printer inks that are delivered via disposable heads are the kind of ink cartridgesthat need to be replaced each time the cartridge runs out of ink. The entirecartridge needs to be replaced, not just part of it. Although some types ofdisposable heads can be expensive, it is possible to purchase cheap printer ink bylooking online, or buying in multiple replacement packs.No matter what kind of printer and cartridge heads are used, sometimes buyingprinter inks is simply too expensive for the average household and possiblybusiness. The need for cheap printer ink has become in demand over the past severalyears, and a number of manufacturers have recognized this need. Sometimes a personsimply needs to check their email box on the computer, and they will find multiplecheap printer ink offers. While email boxes are often filled with unsolicited andunwanted email offers, a cheap printer ink offer might be one to take a look at.A cheap printer ink cartridge can provide any consumer with a significant amount ofsavings, and can eliminate periods that they have to go without printer ink due tothe expense. When making the decision to purchase cheap printer ink, many peoplemight believe that they could be sacrificing the print quality that they are used towhen they purchased more expensive ink cartridges. Buying cheap printer ink doesn tautomatically mean that the printer ink will be of less quality. Unfortunately,consumers believe that the word cheap is one that should be connected to productsthat are of lesser quality, and many people miss out on exceptional buys that couldsave them a good deal of money.www.printer-ink-closeo uts.com deals with the printer ink details.
