It's coming up on 20 years since Calvin Johnson — who even in 1989 had been running K Records for an estimable seven years — met Ian Svenonius. It was at a Hazmat show in DC, and Svenonius was fronting his Nation of Ulysses. Johnson was blown away. He recalls it as a jarring hybrid of hardcore and noise (a real oddity in those days), melody and chaos — they even had a trumpet. Most poignantly to Johnson, though, the Nation offered "a moment to say goodbye to the '80s."
"But it wasn't even the music, at first," he tells me from K headquarters in Olympia, Washington. "They just had a sense of style. No bands had a sense of style at the time — not good, not bad, not anything. Everyone was in cut-off shorts and baggy T-shirts, having long hair and ugly clothes. It was just, like, gimme a break. With Nation of Ulysses, they had an æsthetic, but they also had a perspective. It was like, how can you not look?"
Uh-oh: style-over-substance story alert! No, no, settle down, imaginary cynical reader. Thing is, if we're talking about Svenonius, Nation of Ulysses, or his bands since then (Cupid Car Club, the Make-Up, Weird War — and now, Chain and the Gang), or his collection of "factional" essays The Psychic Soviet (bound like one of those little pocket books of Mao quotations, only in pinkish purple instead of reminder red), or his longwinded on-line talk show Soft Focus, or the pages and pages of typewritten manifestos that have accompanied disc after disc of his subculturally polyglot music — that is, if we're talking about the same Ian, style is substance.
Or maybe that should read, "substance is style." If one can see fashion, at its simplest level, as an expression of control, it's possible to see much of Svenonius's musical doings over the years as concerned with fashion. It's just that it sounds kind of cheap put that way.
Jump back a bit: after that show, Johnson teamed K Records with DC mainstay Dischord for a split release of a Nation of Ulysses seven-inch. In the liner notes (where Svenonius refers to him as "Calvin Young Sound for Now People K Johnson" in the thank yous), mission #2 on the "Syllabus Ulysses" section of the band's Statement of Intent (right between "vanquishing nostalgics" who have "etched 'retro' indelibly into our collective gravestone" and "violent destruction of the new urban bourgeoisie") is simply: "To dress well, as clothing and fashion are the only things which we, the kids, being utterly disenfranchised, have any control over."
This drive for control has fueled most Svenonius's work. Nation of Ulysses kept their "secret" plans to destroy America thinly cloaked in acronym (observe: "N.O.U.S.P.T.D.A."). The Cupid Car Club's only existing seven-inch promoted a different sort of control by offering step-by-step suicide instructions on the sleeve. The Make-Up used their "gospel yeh-yeh" sounds to inspire slackened hipsters to control their spiritual destinies. (Weird War, on the other hand, seemed more about controlled substances.) And Svenonius's newest band, Chain and the Gang, seem all about . . . well, handing that control over. Witness their newest disc, Down with Liberty . . . Up with Chains, just released by Johnson on K.

text: I posted this question over on weaponeer.net but it seems to be getting side tracked with people suggesting I should buy a SG-43 Goryunov. However I would like eaither a Maxim or Vickers due to the historical significance. So I was wondering which is the easier build and once built which one is the better quality. I know basically they are the same design with the vickers being a "updated" version of the Maxim.

Tony had such. to ask if everything was going well. very nice. You just mentioned that this studio is on the 5th floor without elevator and 65 years is not the top.
Tony avait tel. pour demander si tout se passait bien. très sympa. Il faut juste signaler que ce studio est au 5 ème étage sans ascenseur et à 65 ans c'est pas le top.
Super small, friendly and very comfortable ... cozy studio in the quiet district Superb restaurant with all the conveniences bar and box a few steps! Tony thank you soon for new Parisian adventures and follies
Super petit studio cosy chaleureux et très confortable ... au calme dans Superbe quartier avec toute les commodités restau bar et boîte à quelques pas ! Merci Tony à très bientôt pour de nouvelles aventures et folies parisiennes
We had a fantastic time staying at Tony's studio in Le Marais. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the Marais, close to shops and restaurants. The metro station is only 10 minutes by foot. I traveled with my niece and the studio was perfect for both of us. It was clean and had everything we needed during our stay. Tony was very responsive and made sure we were happy. On our last day our flight was at 8pm so Tony arranged for us to leave our luggage at house of a relative of his, which was incredibly helpful since otherwise we would have need to carry our luggage all day long. In the future, Tony's studio will be my first option to stay when visiting Paris. Merci.
Great appartment! Clean, perfectly located, quiet! Tony as great host who was trying to make our stay as enjoyable as possible (which was easy!). I can only recommend this place. Thanks Tony!

Total rookie here. Done lots of reading but you know how that goes. Can't learn to swim by correspondence, got to get wet.
So my first try was a cut out they stayed for 3 days and few off.
This was a lot different. A big wind we had in the last 3 weeks ago must have blown a cardboard box under my fig tree because a nice swarm of ladies found it and took up residence. Box wasn't there 3 weeks ago, because that's when we picked the last of the figs.
They had been in there long enough that they had made 4 combs already and 2 little starts of the next two. Well I cut the top off the cardboard box and took 4 frames out of my box and set the comb down in the empty slots and let the top of the cardboard rest over the frames. I cut it down enough I could get my top on it and closed it up.
I imagine they will make a bit of a mess but I'm hoping that down the road I can just pull out the 4 on the cardboard and put 4 frames in. May have to pull all the frames out and put it in a new box frame.
So finally my questions
1 am I out of my mind and should rework it tomorrow? or
2 how long should I let the 4 on the cardboard go before replacing them
and #3 How long would you wait before opening the box and checking on them or doing anything in the box?

Ah, KISS.. life is just better with the simple action of a KISS. Do you KISS? I must admit that in the beginning it's not something straight forward. But once you taste it's positive aspect, it's just magical.
You have most probably been close to KISS-ing whenever things appeared stupidly simple to the point that you started to think in a different perspective. "Wow, I should do this more often, it's amazing how the rest goes on so comfortably well" – that's the good feeling about KISS.

GLORY 9 New York Light Heavyweight Tournament Finals is Ilunga vs. Spong
- Written by Dave Walsh
The fight that we all predicted as the finals of the GLORY 9 New York Light Heavyweight tournament might have been Danyo Ilunga vs. Tyrone Spong, but the other fighters on the card were not ready to just let that happen. Danyo Ilunga went up against Dustin Jacoby, whom many saw as a pushover in the tournament, only for him to really turn up the pressure and give Ilunga a run for his money. While Ilunga's cardio might not have held up, Jacoby's did and he did his best to pull out the upset against Ilunga. Ilunga did walk away the better man, moving into the finals.
That left Tyrone Spong against Filip Verlinden. Verlinden might have had some doubts about his last fight hanging over his head, as you could argue that Steve McKinnon won the bout, but he really turned up the intensity against Spong, knowing what was on the line here. Spong against a guy closer to his size showed some hesitation and restraint, which gave Verlinden a chance to get off some better shots and hold his own. Spong was still the stronger fighter, with the damage all over Verlinden's arms and body showing up by the end of the second round. Spong won the decision to put him into the Finals.
That leaves Tyrone Spong vs. Danyo Ilunga as your Finals in what will determine the best Light Heavyweight Kickboxer in the world.

Our stay in the apartment in the Vaci utca really liked killed. We were very warmly welcomed. The location of the apartment is fantastic near the Great Market Hall. The metro, trams 2, 47, 48 and 49 and the hop on hop off buses right in front of the market hall. We enjoyed it very much and we'll be back.
Unser Aufenthalt in der Wohnung in der Vaci Utca hat ums sehr gut gefallen. Wir wurden sehr herzlich willkommen geheissen. Die Lage der Wohnung ist fantastisch nahe der Grossen Markthalle. Die Metro, die Straßenbahnen 2, 47, 48 und 49 und die Hop on hop off Busse fahren direkt vor der Markthalle. Uns hat es sehr gefallen und wir kommen bestimmt wieder.
Nurlan was a wonderful host. He allowed us to stay in the apartment until 3:30 in the afternoon instead of leaving the flat in the morning. The flat was, nice,clean and tidy. It's location is in the middle of the buzzing part of Budapest, less than 3minutes walk away from the MARKET HALL.
NURLAN'S representative Ernest was a brilliant person, kind and very helpful.
We highly recommend this beautiful flat.
We are writing this after more than one year - sorry for that!! - but our stay at Vaci-Street and the warm hospitality of our host Nurlan are still in our minds. It was a fantastic visit to a most interesting city. Our appartement was absolutely perfect, large, clean and comfortable, right in the center of Buda, near to the wonderful Liberty Bridge. Many restaurants and cafes around, the big markethall nearby, where you can get anything to eat. This may sound like a commercial, but it is simply what we experienced there. We loved to be at this nice and quiet place in the middle of an area full of life. But the best was our always friendly and helpful Nurlan - for example: on departure-day he stored our luggage in another appartement and left us the key so we could enjoy the whole day in Budapest. Once again: Many many thanks!!! If we come to Budapest we will always try to come to Nurlan's again!
Hello Nurlan,
Thanks for the time we have stayed in your apartment. Apartment is very clean and good located in the center, coffee, lunch and diner places right at the doorstep.
It was also easy to find a parking space for the car each day.
We recommend the apartment and hope, by a next visited, to stay there again.
Kind regards,
Martin & Camilo
We had an amazing stay in the appartment. It had everything we needed. Close to all the stores for shopping :) we will sure to come back

sehr nette wohnung, groß, sehr zentral. man hat sich auch sehr gut um uns gekümmert
Our stay was very pleasant because the host was very helpful and the apartment was large fully equipped, very clean and excellently located in Vaci street. So easy to walk to everything or access transport market very close to buy supplies.
Thank you Nurlan for a great stay.
We were very pleased with our accommodations. Beautiful apartment, very conveniently located in the pedestrian zone and still quiet. We slept wonderfully. Space for at least 6-7 people, we stayed with 4 people (Me, and my three sons, 15, 19 and 21 years old) and enjoyed the rooms. My sons were happy with the well-functioning wireless. Comfortable bathroom with WC and a separate WC.The apartment has everything that is needed. We didn't cook because we wanted to discover the Budapest restaurants. For breakfast, everything available in the kitchen, a coffee maker has to come. Beautiful old market hall in foot spacing, you get there everything you need. The apartment is centrally located to get anywhere: 5 minutes to the river, 5 minutes to the metro station or bus. We stayed there in the hot month of July, but the apartment had a good climate. Nurlan was very hospitable. He helped us to find a good parking place for our car. We would come back any time! Marion, Vincent, Julius and Lorenz

Lovely!

Min: OJ/Cointreau combo works on our thinner pancakes too.
MsP: love thin pancakes this way as well, and as a side note, French toast which was always a favorite of mine.
MsP: Flavored maple syrups: melt butter and maple syrup with: blueberries, strawberries, orange juice, blackberries. Using these helps cut down a bit on how much butter and syrup you need to use.
Min: I never feel the need to add butter to my pancakes. Because I use free-range eggs in the batter, adding butter gilds the lily........you can no longer taste the egg.
Oi, missus, if only. I cooked in France where I was staying in houses/apartments a couple of times, the eggs were Glorious! I can relate to what you're saying. Here, the topping is usually butter/syrup and that is typically Dutch from my experience, again, with savory or sweet, although here we use maple syrup. Maybe these traditions came over from the Dutch, I'm no food historian

My Dad was the cook in our family and that's how he served them, Mada. These days I only make them when the kids are visiting: breakfast might be with blueberries or with maple syrup. Dessert (rare here) might be crepe-style with orange juice and a dash of Cointreau. I used to make blinis (some buckwheat) or the "silver dollar" (tiny) ones as canap�s with cream cheese or creme fraiche and smoked salmon. These days, I only make them if I'm being paid. So fiddley.

Re: Pancakes !
Most supermarkets here seem to sell packets of pre made pancakes ,the thin crepe style pancakes rather than the thicker American style ones ) I have tried one once at one of those stands where they give you samples and was really disappointed with the texture . It was quite rubbery and not good.
Not at all like the softness of a fresh made very thin pancake straight from the pan.
If I get round to it I will be off to buy some buckwheat flour to make savoury pancakes tonight . Large thin pancakes folded around a savoury filling . I bought mushrooms yesterday but the supermarket that I'd called at did not stock the flour.
For sweeter pancakes , gone are the days of the 'crazy pancakes' as the family used to call them , crazy pancakes where the freinds used to sit around the table that had a huge stack of pancakes and dishes of all manner if toppings eating them all till the pancakes were all gone, it was great fun .
Nowadays it's more just a sprinkle of sugar and a splash of lemon juice or some maple syrup that we have on the sweeter pancakes . But we shall see ....

Re: Pancakes !
We had pancakes today, I used Jamie�s recipy that he posted on twitter - I was curious how long it would take me and I had forgotten about the pancake day!
We had a quickly put-together compote with bananas and white grapes and some yoghurt seasoned with honey and orange zests with it. The compote and yogurt was ready when the pancakes where ready to eat.
Even though I�m down with a cold right now it was a good idea, and all in all it didn�t take more than 20 minutes, which was good for me because I don�t have the strength to stand in the kitchen for long. The result was really lovely, so thanx Jamie for the idea! It really lifted my mood up!

Madras hunter appears in court on murder charge
Devon Moschetti, killed on rabbit hunt, mourned by friends, family
MADRAS, Ore. - While friends and family of a 19-year-old Madras man shot and killed on a rabbit-hunting outing expressed shock and grief Monday, a 24-year-old accused of murder and manslaughter made his first appearance before a Jefferson County judge.
Shortly before 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Frontier regional dispatchers informed sheriff's deputies that a man had just called 911 to report that someone had just been shot in the face with a shotgun, said Jefferson County Sheriff Jim Adkins. He later was identified as Devon Moschetti, 19.
A deputy arrived in the area about 10 minutes later, and witnesses said the suspect, Montana Silk Marlatt, 24, had fled toward the south, Adkins said. The deputy let other responding deputies know by radio and a search began. Marlatt was detained about a half-hour later without incident, he said.
An initial investigation has determined that Moschetti and two other young men around the same age had gone shooting and hunting rabbits about seven miles south of Madras, the sheriff said.
Before heading to the area, they met Marlatt, the brother of one of the other youths, and invited him to go along, Adkins said, adding that all four live in Jefferson County.
"For unknown reasons, Montana Marlatt intentionally pointed a shotgun at Devon Moschetti and shot him, and then he fled the scene," Adkins said in a statement late Sunday night.
Marlatt faces initial charges of murder and first-degree manslaughter and was lodged at the Jefferson County Jail. The investigation by sheriff's deputies and the Central Oregon Major Crimes Team continues.
An autopsy was planned Monday at the state Medical Examiner's Office near Portland, with members of the region's major crime team present, Adkins said, adding that the number of times the victim was shot was being withheld for now.
No drugs were found on scene, the sheriff said, and results of toxicology tests won't be available for some time.
Adkins tells The Bulletin newspaper (http://is.gd/dotf95 ) no argument preceded the shooting, and alcohol did not appear to be a factor.
He says: "There was no sense, rhyme or reason to this."
Marlatt, who is being held without bail, made his first court appearance in Madras Monday, by video hookup from the county jail, and sat unresponsive when the judge asked questions.
The victim's mother addressed the court by phone.
"I have no idea how Mr. Marlatt could have done this to my son," she said. "He would not hurt anybody or hold a grudge."
The case now goes to a grand jury, and Marlatt is expected to be back in court Thursday afternoon.
Moschetti graduated from Madras High School last year. The Jefferson County School District has staff on hand for any students wishing to talk about the incident.
Family member Teasha Moschetti said Devon lived in Madras with his sister and "had many friends and was a very loving, happy, friendly, outgoing brother, cousin, child, grandchild and friend."
"For all who knew Devon, most would say he was one of the most polite, respectable kids they knew," she wrote Monday. "His heart was made of pure love. This is a great loss to everyone. He will be missed dearly by the community and his family that is well-known here."
Teasha Moschetti said Devon's brother, Neil, also passed away at the young age of 19.
A celebration of Devon Moschetti's life is planned Friday at 2 p.m. at Sahalee Park in Madras. "All are welcome to join and celebrate the passing of another young man taken too soon," she wrote.
The shooting in a popular target-practice area prompted an extensive manhunt that ended fairly quickly, near a corral about a mile away, Adkins said.
The victim died at the scene after the shooting, near South Adams Drive and Ford Lane, east of Highway 97 on the Crooked River National Grassland.
Adkins said about six to 10 members of the victim's family had gone to the area upon learning of the shooting. Bend and Deschutes County detectives were called in to help interview witnesses at the Madras Police Department, he said.
"When I got on scene, it was nothing but chaos here, because of the family and friends that were at the scene of the shooting," Adkins told NewsChannel 21 by phone Sunday evening. "Of course, I grew up here, and I know the family, so they're all letting their feelings out."
The suspect reportedly fled without any weapons, Adkins said, adding that a pistol and shotgun were recovered at the scene.
It was the second shooting related to a manhunt and capture in Jefferson County in three days, although there were no indications of any connection between Friday's and Sunday's incidents.
An armed fugitive from Montana was shot and critically wounded by an OSP trooper northeast of Madras Friday afternoon, hours after a home burglary brought numerous police to the area in a major ground and air search for the fleeing suspect.

A little mini-masterpiece as almost all of their SDs tend to be. I like it even more than their DF FD from last year. Meryl is so lovely and Charlie looks like he's been mainlining ballet classes this summer. Just fantastic!

Facebook Rises on 'Home': Street Glad They're Not Making a Phone
Shares of Facebook (FB) were an early stand-out gainer today amidst the market's sell-off on weaker-than-expected March jobs numbers. The stock is currently up 43 cents, or 1.6%, at $27.51, following the company's unveiling yesterday of its "Home" user interface software for mobile devices, which is generally getting a favorable reception.
The stock got one upgrade, that I can see, with Argus Research's Joe Bonner raising his rating on the stock to Buy from Hold, assigning a $36 price target, writing that Home is "not just a new mobile phone application, but rather a completely redesigned way for users to interact with Facebook through mobile devices."
Bonner increased his EPS estimates for this year and next to 48 cents and 67 cents from 45 cents and 55 cents, respectively, even though he acknowledges margins will be under pressure as a result of investments in "growth projects."
Bonner seems mainly to be releaved Facebook is not trying to actually sell a phone:
We see Facebook's decision not to jump into the hardware business as a positive. As has been the norm for the company, Facebook Home will launch without advertising; however, we expect advertising to appear in fairly short order given management's and investors' focus on monetization. Facebook Home will be downloadable to any Android device using the current release, Android 4.2, Jelly Bean, from the Google Play store on April 12. Facebook Home will be optimized for the new HTC One handset line, also set to launch on April 12 in the U.S., with a base handset price of $99.99. For now, the HTC One is exclusive to AT&T, though it is clearly in Facebook's interest to expand the distribution of Facebook Home as widely as possible. Other OEMs on Facebook's list include Android behemoth Samsung and Chinese handset manufacturer ZTE. Facebook Home will be available only for mobile handsets at launch, but the company will likely release a version for Android-powered tablets within months.
Youssef Squali of Cantor Fitzgerald, who has a Buy rating on Facebook, and a $35 price target, writes today that "Home is aimed at increasing user engagement and consumption of Facebook on mobile devices through features such as cover feed, notifications and chat heads, which allow users to have easy and virtually seamless access to their Facebook friends."
"We view this development positively, given its potential to drive user engagement (and monetization) overtime."
Topeka Capital Markets's Victor Anthony, who has a Buy on Facebook shares and a $40 price target, writes today "has the potential to function as the primary gateway to the Internet":
The ultimate goal is to collect a toll for Internet activity, and in FB's case, for social activity on the Internet, as advertisers pay for the right to get in front of users. The test is whether passionate users will download and continue to use Home and then whether passive users will download the software. If the latter happens, this will likely be a boon to FB in both engagement and monetization. This remains to be seen but looks promising, in our view.
Anthony trimmed his estimates for the quarter ended last month to $1.396 billion and 13 cents EPS from a prior $1.41 billion and 13 cents, to account for foreign exchange effects.
Anthony thinks trends for mobile were better than the Street is expecting:
We track FB's mobile feeds on a daily basis for trends in ad usage. We have noticed that: 1) the number of ads shown have increased from 4Q; 2) the number of ad units displayed have increased to include sponsored posts, suggested posts, mobile app installs, Offers, and related posts, and 3) the quality of the advertisers have improved. As such, we believe that FB's mobile ad revenues will come in ahead of our $368M est (30% of ad revs) as well as the consensus of $340M. The question of whether certain ads are socially related and others not, is largely irrelevant in our view, as long as the ad units resonate with advertisers and are useful to users. Growth will be driven by greater ad impressions, particularly internationally, and increased pricing as ROI improves.

An apostille is a form of authentication issued for documents used in countries participating in the Hague Convention of 1961. A list of countries that accept apostilles is provided by the U.S. State Department - click here for the full list. If the country does not participate in the Hague Convention, those documents can be authenticated or certified.
The Office of the Indiana Secretary of State provides apostille and authentication services to U.S. citizens and foreign nationals for documents used overseas. The types of documents which can be authenticated include:
The U.S. State Department provides general information about document authentications and apostilles under the Hague Convention of 1961.
Indiana does not charge a fee for the apostille/authentication service, unlike most other states.
Apostille certificates are issued by a state government for documents which have been signed by a government official - or a notary public- of the same state. An Indiana apostille can not, for example, be assigned to a document signed by a government official in Kentucky. Such a document must be apostilled in Kentucky.
You must send the following information along with the document(s) to be authenticated to obtain an apostille.

Step 2 - Requesting an apostille
Step 3 - Mail all documents
NOTE - All apostille requests should be mailed. For documents delivered in person, the office can not guarantee a prompt turnaround due to high volume. If you are requesting more than fifteen (15) documents, you must come in and drop off for the following turn-around times:
IMPORTANT - The Secretary of State's Office cannot issue an Apostille or Authentication for vital records that are issued by the county. For authentication purposes, Indiana State Vital Records must issue these records.

After obtaining the certified birth or death certificate, these documents can be delivered to the Secretary of State's Office to be authenticated.
If the document is a court issued document - marriage license or divorce decree - you must obtain a certified copy from the Circuit Court clerk in the county in which the document was recorded. After obtaining such document, please forward to the Indiana Secretary of State's office.
However, our office is unable to verify federal documents. Individuals looking to authenticate a federal document must contact the U.S. Department of State Authentication Department.

Ryan Mickle, seen above and apparently afraid of no ghosts, has had a change of heart since purchasing his Range Rover Sport new in 2006. Since then, gas prices have shot through the roof and fighting climate change has become a favorite global pastime. Seeing that his SUV gets about 13 mpg, Ryan doesn't want to drive it, doesn't want to sell it and doesn't want anyone else to get behind the wheel -- ever. Trouble is, he's not quite sure how to go about it just yet. So, he wants you to help him decide the fate of his SUV. A few initial ideas: catapult it into the Pacific Ocean, blow it up or convert it to a run on either electrons or biodiesel. We're hoping that common sense wins out here and the vehicle is somehow saved from such an inauspicious fate as being merely blown to shreds -- after all, that's not very eco-friendly either. While a biodiesel conversion might be fun, we'll put our official vote on the EV idea. Yank the engine, drop in a nice electric motor and some decent batteries in the rear cargo area... presto-chango, problem solved. Well, maybe it's a bit more complicated than that. Watch Ryan's video after the break.LINK
What an idiot this Ryan guy is.He drank the Kool-Aid and took it all hook, line and sinker.Why not just trade it in for a Prius?Enviro-whackos make me gag.
Seriously, if you're hurting for money, why wouldn't you just trade it in on something more efficient, or just give it to me.
Yeah seriously, I'll take the damn thing. What a moron.
So to prove a point that gas prices are too high he is going to destroy his vehicle....um.
So let's see what we have here: some moron who actually bought the fiction that a big ol' haywagon was some sort of sporting vehicle and plunked down some major coin hoping it would snag him some tail. This was followed by a case of buyer's remorse that should be listed in Guinness.Whatever happens to the truck, make sure he's included.
-------------------------------------------Bad decisions make good stories.
I shamed him into changing stuf on the site!I sent him an email being my usual charming self, pointing out the silliness of his approach and the errors involved, and he replied, saying he'd make changes to the site!I gotta check this out

I was watching my hive this evening. Three times bees emerged with one of these in their clutches The first two dropped off the platform to the ground and wrestled with it before taking off with it. The third time I intercepted the pair and retrieved the prisoner for identification. The prisoner appeared to be dead.
Thanks in advance.

Just watched one of my tapes from old pro skating competitions and enjoyed the performance of Judy Blumberg/Michael Siebert to "Adagio for Strings". It was mesmerizing. They gave the kind of serious attention to detail and emotion that this piece of music enjoys.
Of course, I also thought of the Vietnam War movie, "Platoon", in which this piece of music was played while the camera panned over the devastation of the latest battle.

While Chevron is legally obliged to stop the oil that's been seeping downhill from the North Burnaby refinery since last spring, the company has no plans to remediate the onsite soil, and the provincial Environment Ministry isn't going to force them as long as they are still operating.
Chevron discovered a mix of gas, diesel and crude leaching from the refinery on April 21. The company has not been able to pinpoint a source, and it appears that the seepage is the result of contaminants built up in the ground over time, now being carried offsite through the groundwater. The oily mixture is showing up in a ditch next to the railroad tracks and on the beach below the refinery.
Although the refinery property is contaminated, Chevron's Ray Lord said it's not a realistic option to remove soil from the site. "This is private property, and that is why the issue is being dealt with the way it is, which is to monitor the perimeter of our property.
This is a functional refinery with (a) roadway, with pipes, various operating production units, and excavation is not an option," he said. "But we can do our best to prevent material from getting where it shouldn't be in the first place."
Part of that prevention includes the extraction wells Chevron has installed to try and capture the material before it percolates offsite and a monitoring program in place since 2004 to keep an eye on the perimeter of the property.
If they notice areas along the perimeter with "active" levels of hydrocarbons, then they install more extraction wells, Lord explained. "It is not an impermeable wall of protection," he added. "We're frustrated as well that we can't snap our fingers and (the oil seep) will go away." Part of the reason the company has not been able to locate a source is because the underground flow of water is so slow, Lord said. "We certainly want to make it clear to people that we're trying," he said. "A great deal of effort is going into this. ... We're committed to resolving the situation."
Chevron estimates that roughly 10,000 litres of oily material have been captured through the extraction well system - that reflects about 62 barrels of material soaked into the ground onsite. Another 816 litres have migrated offsite, but the vast majority of that has been cleaned up, according to the company.
When questioned if the provincial Environment Ministry had any plans to make Chevron clean up its contaminated site, the response was negative. However, ministry spokesperson Colin Grewar pointed out that Chevron is required by law to stop the oil from seeping off their property and to remediate the foreshore area. (Some areas on the beach were found to have contaminant levels above provincial standards.)
"Chevron is currently conducting independent remediation of the foreshore area with Ministry of Environment oversight. They are remediating the foreshore according to the requirements set out in the Contaminated Sites Regulation," Grewar wrote in an e-mail to the NOW. "Ministry of Environment staff continue to monitor the company's progress in confining and remediating the contamination.
To date, Chevron has been responsive and has acted quickly on direction from the Ministry of Environment." But, he added, the company is not required to remediate the refinery itself while it continues to operate as an industrial site. "If and when the refinery was to shut down, Chevron would be responsible for remediating the site," Grewar continued. "Chevron has voluntarily conducted specific on-site remediation projects in past to remove contamination from the site's 75 year operating history."

Uncharted 3 Co Op Adventure Chapter 4.5: Redemption[ Edited ]
~Many thanks to JD for inspiring me with this idea with his own "Deadly Drive" Co op adventure
~Edited the original post with ideas I later came up with
~Thank you TheStuntDouble for your contribution
Now this doesn't have to be for Uncharted 3. Could be for future games but I'm going to use past uncharted characters as examples and the Airport co op adventure chapter. There should be a co op adventure where you play as the goons of Lazaravic. So we'll use zorksel,tetram,and sark.
In the mission you have to get to your leader who needs assistance in his assault against drake sully and cutter. But to get to them you must fight goons that are rebelling against lazaravic. Along the way other goons will provide minor assistance to you but shortly after the charatcers you play as decide that what they're doing is wrong and betray their leader after hearing some tragic last words of another goon(Dragan) and work from the inside sabotaging lazaravic's forces to help drake and his friends. This makes lazaravic assume that Drake his sabotaging his forces. In the end the goons will be executed by their leaders but not dying in vain because their actions set up circumstances in which Drake and his friends are able to survive. Although it shouldn't be the same route because the goons are arriving from a different area but eventually end up in the familiar airport. They should arrive once the mic goes out with Eddy speaking when you take out the turrets.
One thing that would be very interesting is that there can be a part that emphasizes stealth while your sabotaging lazaravic's forces. You do it silently so he doesn't know his own goons are betraying him and makes him think Drake eliminated them giving a potential distraction which allows Drake and his friends to sneak in like he did right in the beginning of the Airport chapter. If you want a good example think of the musuem chapter in Uncharted 2 where you have to stealth kill the guards and that part was very fun in my opinion because it was different from the running around like a wild chicken meleeing and blindfiring people that you usually do in this game.
Please post your feedback guys i know this idea isn't perfect but its a start and your opinions will help make it better and potentially improve a future game. Thanks

DJ Casanova's Masquerade Soiree DJ Casanova live at Chateau
DJ Casonova was born and raised in Brooklyn N.Y. - music has always been a big influence in his life mainly because his mother was a latin club singer performing in New York City. DJ Casanova started DJing in High School doing the school dances and in college he DJ'd for most dorm parties. While in college he started working local Venues/Nightclubs in New York. Since he considers himself from the "Old School" he had great opportunities to meet with the finest artists of the 1980's. From Grandmaster Flash Kool Herc to Charlie Chase at Disco Fever this took his DJing career to a whole different level. As he has told many "This experience of being a DJ has been my passion ever since!".

Spanning more than 45,000-square-feet and sprawled across two-stories, Chateau Nightclub & Gardens brings a new dimension to Vegas nightlife with its premium center-Strip location, breathtaking terraces and lavish decor. The only nightclub located directly on the Las Vegas Strip, Chateau's outdoor gardens showcase magnificent, open-air views for a nightlife experience unlike any other. Designed by rising talent Amy Kim of AK DesignNETWORK, who has many impressive projects to her credit including a collaboration with Philippe Starck on the groundbreaking interior of the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, Chateau stimulates club-goers of every caliber with three separate nightclub experiences. A one-of-a-kind ascending spiraled staircase leads guests to Chateau's second-floor entrance revealing an intricate interior inspired by elements of old world décor fused with modern French design. Saturated with dark shades of blue, fiery red accents and polished brass finishes, the fashion-forward design incorporates an abundance of mirrors throughout the 15,000-square-foot interior leaving traces of reflections across the bar tops, ceilings, moldings and railings. Ornate chandeliers and bundles of hand-made light fixtures inspired by antique grandfather globes illuminate the nightclub, while rows of lavish VIP booths further enhance Chateau's modern vintage feel. Vaulted ceilings accentuate a recessed dance floor which offers prime VIP seating for an up-close experience of Chateau's vibrant nightlife scene. The main focal point, a 10-foot-tall marble mantel fireplace, containing the elevated DJ booth showcasing renowned DJs from high above the crowds as they spin an eclectic blend of house, dance, hip-hop and mainstream music. Behind the DJ booth, a magnificent LED screen spanning the length of the wall, streams exciting audio/visual mash-ups as partygoers dance the night away. Energetic music and vibrant scenery lures guests onto Chateau Terrace where they will encounter a 10,000-square-foot balcony overlooking the famed Las Vegas Boulevard. The vibrant atmosphere will thrill guests with the liveliest party from two-stories above the Strip featuring an elevated DJ booth, over-sized VIP cabanas, a central Terrace Bar and two additional bars. Shades of aquas, greens and blues complement garden-inspired features: signage created from lush hedges and elements of shrubs, greenery and vines adorning the spacious patio. Custom-designed furniture and a dual-sided fireplace offer comfortable seating for VIPs and guests, while backlit images of Monet's famous "Water Lilies" painting inspire the look and feel of a garden pond. A set of glass elevators escort guests up to Chateau Gardens, an outdoor nightclub featuring beautiful greenery and luxurious cabanas. Situated directly beneath Paris Las Vegas' iconic replica of the Eiffel Tower, the 20,000-square-foot garden is reminiscent of a Parisian secret garden, with whimsical décor and lush landscaping. Adorned by thousands of lights strung throughout the setting and dozens of lampposts custom-designed to resemble trees, Chateau Gardens offers a full nightclub experience under the stars with an exciting rooftop dance floor, four bars, high-energy lighting, a third DJ booth, VIP seating and an eight-foot-tall glass wall encircling the rooftop, displaying panoramic views from high above the Vegas skyline.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Encore, Nov 26, 2012.
Shennannigans!!! I don't believe that even helped Peterson.
Murray is SOFT and IP.
Which clearly tells us that we are not a playoff caliber team and could not contend with anything resembling a 'good team'.
It could have, but I'm sure not hanging my hopes, on the coulda, shoulda, woulda's that the theory entails.
I spent way too much time with woulda, coulda, and shoulda last year and I'm done with that.
Now the onus is on them to show me what they can - or can't do.
And I see exactly what they are showing me.
My only hope now is that this year's failure brings the necessary changes to how things are done around Valley Ranch.
But I sure as heck don't want to see anyone - especially the owner - trying to sell me on injuries being an excuse for why this team failed in 2012.
It's the medical staffs fault and since Jerry hires them it's Jerry's fault
If that's the case, what's missing in your analysis is a comparison between team health and schedule difficulty league wide and how both relate to a team's ability to win.
I was making no such comparison. I was simply pointing out that the team has been playing .500 ball regardless of who's been suiting up for them. Consequently, we can't say their record would be any better sans injuries because there's no evidence of it.
Are we defending the team's 5-6 record based on their injuries and the fact their schedule is too difficult? If the Cowboys can only be expected to win when they're completely healthy and they play cream puffs, it's no small wonder they have a .500 record since 1997.
he is injury prone according to the definition:
injury-prone (ˈɪndʒərɪˌprəʊn)
often sustaining injuries
If that is the case, what is missing in your analysis is application of basic principles of logic.
Ask this of any fan. If you have your best players, does it make a difference? Does it make more of a difference against good or mediocre teams? From all the comments we get here about "resting Player X b/c we don't need him against Cleveland," I'd say the answer is pretty clear.
Also, ask this of any fan? Is it easier to win at home or on the road? Or against teams with winning vs. losing records?
Such as?
I see a ton of guys who are hurt. Does that mean we should fire Woicek, a guy who everyone here seems to think is amazing?
That doesn't mean that there aren't areas for improvement -- but I've watched football long enough to know it doesn't take a wholesale change to go from .500 to going deep in the playoffs
check out this article from Mike Florio from last year about Murray's durability.
trying to make sense will not get you very far
Knock the old man out of his comfort zone.
The dynamic that he has created so that he can 'feel comfortable' has kept this team firmly in the mediocre zone.
Stop looking at Jason Garrett and what he 'could become' and look at what is.
And ask yourself if keeping Garrett and being patient with his obvious struggles is worth more the careers of Ware, Witten, and Romo.
Do you think you have a better chance of finding a better, more qualified head coach who can win in the not-too-distant future with this group or is there a better chance that you'll get players as good or betteer than what you have now when Garrett is fully prepared?
I don't see injuries that would point the finger at anything Woicek is or isn't doing as being the reason so I'm not blaming him.
I think it takes a fundamental change - as mentioned above - if there is any hope of winning with the current group.
If anyone can point me to somewhere where 'the process' is bearing fruit, I'd be most interested.
I don't see any improvement - anywhere.
Speaking of "application of basic principles of logic", it would behoove you to read what I'm actually saying.
Explaining away the Cowboys' .500 record on the basis of injuries is flawed logic because they were .500 when those injuries occurred. Consequently, there's no tangible proof their record would be better without those injuries.
One can't simply assume a team would have won Game A if Player X had been available and/or the team had played the game at home rather than on the road. That's faulty logic. Case in point: The Packers were healthier in 2011 than they were in 2010. Moreover, they had homefield advantage through the playoffs in 2011 and were a permanent roadie in 2010. Yet, they won the Super Bowl in 2010 and saw an early exit in 2011.
Last year, the Giants were depleted by injuries, and had only one home playoff game. Yet, they went on to win the Super Bowl.
You see, given the nature of our analysis, I would argue that hard evidence is just as important as pure logic.
Something every fan on here should do.
Strip away excuses, expectations, hype, hate and look at Garrett and this team for what they are.
Might be available, was still playing at a very high level. Maybe a year off will give him a few more years.
I would love to get Brian Waters next season to add some vet leadership to this OL. Waters was still playing at pro bowl level for Pats last season.
And Poppinga should be able to contribute right away. He played for Rob Ryan in Cleveland so should be familiar with the scheme/terminology. Poppinga can also play multiple LB positions, inside or outside.
Waters isn't available. Still under contract to NE, and Bellichick isn't releasing him.
a WR? Is Miles hurt?
Yes, and Ogletree too. Plus we waived Holmes.
Hmm, how often do players take a year off and come back better?
Pretty much they always just come back older and slower and fatter and worse.
I said next season. Waters is a FA next season.

The medical marijuana movement has always had to be nimble.
Pot, after all, is illegal under federal law. And expanding its reach has required a gentle bit of push and pull — a constant test of what the White House and the Department of Justice will abide.
Activists sensed an opportunity to push further than ever when the Obama Administration issued a memo in October 2009 suggesting US Attorneys shouldn't prosecute those acting in "clear and unambiguous compliance" with state-level medical marijuana laws.
But the proliferation of pot dispensaries in the months that followed — and plans to add more in places like Rhode Island — spooked the Obama Administration. And in the spring, US Attorneys here and across the country sent letters to governors and lawmakers warning that they would shut down the state-sanctioned distributors.
Activists urged governors to call the Obama Administration's bluff — daring federal prosecutors to crack down on medical marijuana, which enjoys considerable public support, with an election on the horizon.
Several, including New Jersey's Republican Governor Chris Christie, heeded the call. But Rhode Island's independent Governor Lincoln Chafee announced in late September that, with the threat of raids hanging over the program, he was blocking three long-planned dispensaries, or "compassion centers."
The move was panned by local pot activists. But in recent months, advocates accustomed to reinvention have turned their attention to yet another overhaul, this one trickier than any they have taken on to date: reshaping Rhode Island's medical marijuana regime for a new and deeply uncertain legal-political landscape.
Progress has been slow, frustrating. But in recent days, the outlines of Medical Marijuana 2.0 have finally begun to take shape.
The reboot kicked off, in earnest, on January 9 when Senate President M. Teresa Paiva Weed and state Senator Rhoda Perry, a prime architect of the state's medical marijuana law, met with Governor Chafee to sketch out a new direction.
That it has taken this long to get moving is a source of no small irritation for advocates and their allies in the General Assembly.
The governor signaled, when he put the kibosh on the full-bore compassion centers over three months ago, that he would support a scaled-down version of the dispensaries in a bid to avoid federal prosecution. But efforts to draw out the administration on what, precisely, it would accept went nowhere.
Chafee, in the meantime, was working with Washington Governor Christine Gregoire, a Democrat, on petitioning the federal government to reclassify marijuana — currently listed as a Schedule 1 drug alongside heroin — and acknowledge its medicinal properties.
Local activists applauded the late-November petition, but saw it as a long-term effort with little bearing on the present crisis; previous petitions took the federal government years to consider and were eventually denied.
With the local push stalled, the national enforcement picture — in the Obama Administration's new, supposedly more vigilant phase — was anything but clear.
Starting in September, federal authorities in California sent threatening letters to more than 100 dispensaries or their landlords and conducted several raids; the IRS even leveled tax charges against the state's largest dispensary. And in November, agents descended on a string of dispensaries in western Washington state.

Some people need to get over Ray Lewis... he won in 2000 beating Kerry freaking Collins. If the 2007 or 2011 Giants played the 2000 ravens we could have beaten them.
Guy sounds like a televangelist .
Read this moron.
Ray Lewis is a murderer, it is really sickening that this low life gets the attention that he does
BB does it again. Refuses to be interviewed after a loss. What an a**hole!!!

Welcome to the Modern and Classical Languages Department at Saint Joseph's University!
|Students may elect to major or minor in:
|Ancient Studies
In addition, we offer a major in French Studies and minors in Classical Humanities, Ancient Studies, and Linguistics. Students may also take courses in Chinese, Japanese, and Russian. Information on Chinese, Japanese and Russian faculty can be found here.
Our courses are by nature interdisciplinary, highlighting connections with fields as varied as history, fine arts, philosophy, gender studies, film studies, and the social and natural sciences. Students are thereby encouraged to relate their work in our classrooms to other areas of study. Many of our majors opt to complement their language studies with a double major or a minor in disciplines such as political science, international relations, English, math, psychology, business, or fine arts. Thanks to a program developed in conjunction with the Department of Education, future teachers can obtain certification in secondary education for French, German, Latin and Spanish.
All students pursuing a major or minor in French, German, Italian, Ancient Studies, or Spanish complete a required number of courses at the upper-division (200) level. Yet these curriculum requirements offer students flexibility and choice, and majors and minors participate in shaping their own program of study. Every semester, they may choose from their language program's offerings of upper-division courses and decide how they wish to configure their class schedules. They are encouraged to incorporate their own individual interests and specializations into their class research and creative projects. They also have opportunities to study abroad for a semester through several outstanding SJU affiliated and fully accredited programs in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Latin America.
Our language and literature classroom is an ideal environment for rigorous teaching, informed research, and inspired learning. As such, it vitally reflects the mission of Saint Joseph's University. We search for a greater awareness and understanding of human beings in a variety of cultural settings. By achieving precise and effective communication in the languages of the world, we share a connectedness with peoples of all walks of life and engage with a rich diversity of ideas, cultures, and political, social, and religious systems. We admire the aesthetic and intellectual achievements of these cultures while we also show compassion for their poor and needy. The study of the languages and literatures of the world enables us to better ourselves by becoming more globally aware and culturally sensitive, and it informs the way we think about ourselves as we fulfill our desires and responsibilities in civic and private spheres. We embrace the Ignatian vision of educating "men and women for others" by fostering inclusiveness both inside and outside the classroom. We seek to immerse ourselves in the languages and cultures of our neighbors around the world and at home—click here to view the Modern Language Association map showing which languages are spoken in the United States—welcoming their uniqueness as well as their capacity to enrich our own cultural identity.
We are a faculty of enthusiastic teachers dedicated to helping our students accomplish their goals and realize their utmost human potential. Devoted to the Jesuit vision of cura personalis—concern for the individual student—we challenge students to achieve the full development of their individual talents and we foster their intellectual and spiritual growth. Consequently, as teachers and academic advisors we provide our students with personalized attention and sound guidance. No less committed to our research than to our teaching and advising, we are also active scholars, presenting our work in publications and at conferences in the United States and overseas. These scholarly pursuits go hand-in-hand with teaching, as our research interests and experiences abroad animate our courses. Both in and out of the classroom, our passion for what we do is evident.
Enjoy browsing our pages. We look forward to meeting you or hearing from you soon!

Obviously we like Manning and Carr, but nobody is forever, and if an opportunity of value presents itself, possibly for a 3-year project-QB, it couldn't hurt to start auditioning guys.
Anybody like any of the prospects that're projected to go in rounds 5-7?
Considering most teams dress 3 QB's and for a few years now, we've only dressed 2, it wouldn't be that much of a stretch of roster.

I saw a swarm take up home in a hollow at the base of a large tree. There are two entrances that I have found. I closed off one completely and closed off the other with about a 1.5 inch entrance. Bees are using that exclusively and seem to be thriving.
I am interested in connecting a 10 frame deep to the hole I left them. Not wanting to remove them but would like to have them use the deep as well as the tree. That way I can use brood/eggs if I can access them. I am interested to see if they can survive year to year in the tree.
I have opaque 1 inch tube and black aquarium tubing that is closer to 2 inch diameter. Which would be better to go between and tree? I suppose I should make the connection as short as possible. Once set up and bees Using the hive entrance would putting in a frame with brood encourage them to also use the deep.

Jobs! Jobs! Jobs?
In Maine politics, just about every proposal is justified by saying it's being done to grow jobs.
Jobs are sorely needed. According to John Dorrer, a former Maine Department of Labor economist and now an advisor to a Boston-based job-development organization, the state currently has 80,000 to 90,000 unemployed people, including those who have given up seeking work.
He said this at the "Jobs of the Future" Maine Development Foundation seminar for legislators on December 6. Several of the business, nonprofit, and academic speakers said a key to job creation was the education of Maine's workforce. And, somehow, slowing runaway health-care costs, which hamstring business development.
Chuck Hays, CEO of MaineGeneral, the Augusta-area medical complex, said many of the state's future jobs will be in the health-care field. But producing nurses, physical therapists, and the like will be "a challenge" for Maine's educational institutions. Other speakers said finding people with technical education to fill manufacturing jobs also would be a challenge.
It was not a Republican-oriented set of speakers. One audience member asked Keri Seitz, president of a Bowdoin medical-device company with 100 employees, if state-government regulations were burdensome. "Actually, no," she replied.
The speakers tended to avoid recommending specific solutions to educational, health-care, and other lacks. Some Democratic legislators, though, were not so shy about political answers.
Independent Representative James Campbell, 79, sounded like a youthful radical in promoting to the group a single-payer health-care system. And in an interview, speaking of the unfunded GOP tax cuts, he stressed that "it hasn't happened yet," meaning the cuts haven't yet taken effect and could be reversed by the new Legislature.

I played Diablo 2 and I hated it
Posted on 5th May 2009 at 10:14 by Joe Martin with 32 comments
I was utterly underwhelmed by Diablo 2. It appealed to me even less than the very similar Titan Quest – and that's saying something, considering how I enjoyed that game about as much as I'd enjoy passing a cupful of kidney stones all at once. I hated Diablo 2 because there seemed to be absolutely no need for me to be there. I actually felt that the game would play itself better if I just wasn't there, as the entire role of the player is to click-click-click-click their character along a pseudo-random, utterly linear path that offers no real chance for exploration or involvement.
Playing Diablo 2 I was left with the impression that it didn't matter what I did in the game, as fundamentally everything I did only ever had one logical outcome, so I may as well not do anything. I was stifled by the utter lack of room for player expression. You could level the same complaint against almost any FPS where players are funnelled through linear levels too, but at least those games are usually fast paced and full of explosions and a sense of interaction and puzzle solving. Diablo 2 didn't feel that way to me.
