An FBI probe begun in 2010 yielded indictments Friday of Steven Thomas, the Mashantucket Pequots' treasurer, and his brother, Michael, a former tribal chairman, who were charged with stealing more than $800,000 from the tribe that owns Foxwoods Resort Casino.
The brothers were named in separate indictments charging each with one count of theft from an Indian tribal organization and two counts of theft from an Indian tribal government receiving federal funds.
The indictments were returned by a grand jury convened in Hartford.
Hours before the U.S. Attorney's Office announced the indictments, Steven Thomas, 38, was sworn in to his second three-year term as a member of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Council. He took an oath of office along with other tribal officials elected in November, including fellow councilors Rodney Butler and Crystal Whipple.
The state's lieutenant governor, Nancy Wyman, attended the swearing-in ceremony, which was held at the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center.
In a statement issued early Friday night, the tribal council questioned the federal government's prosecution of Steven Thomas, who became the council's treasurer a year ago.
"As a Tribal Council we have recently learned that one of the Tribal Members under investigation, Steven Thomas, has been named in an indictment for matters unrelated to his time on Tribal Council," the statement reads. "We have served with him and are confident in his dedication to his duties for the Tribal Nation while serving as a Tribal Councilor.
"We are disappointed in the federal government's decision to move forward with this action, and feel that this has strong implications on self-governance throughout Indian Country. … We remain confident in the judicial system and will continue to cooperate with the U.S. Attorney's Office on a government-to-government basis."
The Thomases are scheduled to appear Monday in federal court in New Haven before U.S. Magistrate Judge Joan G. Margolis.
The indictment against Steven Thomas alleges that he stole tribal funds from January 2005 through June 2008 while employed as assistant director of the tribe's Department of Natural Resources Protection. Michael Thomas, 44, is accused of stealing tribal funds from October 2007 through April 2009; he served as chairman of the tribal council from 2003 until August 2009.
If convicted of stealing from an Indian tribal organization, each faces maximum prison terms of five years and fines of up to $250,000. If convicted of stealing from an Indian tribal government receiving federal funds, they face maximum prison terms of 10 years and a fine of up to $250,000 on each count.
Under forfeiture allegations contained in the indictments, Steven Thomas, if convicted, faces forfeiture of $739,744, while Michael Thomas, if convicted, must forfeit $102,393 and two personal computers.
According to the tribe's website, Steven Thomas worked for the tribe for more than 15 years before being elected to the council in 2009. He worked briefly in the Parks and Recreation Department and then in Environmental Services and Natural Resources Protection. He served as associate director of the Natural Resources Department in 1995 and as assistant director of the department from 1996 to 2008.
Michael Thomas was ousted as chairman in August 2009 after pledging to put funding for tribal government and distributions to tribal members ahead of the tribe's obligations to lenders. At the time, the tribe — highly leveraged and with its casino reeling from the recession — was on the verge of defaulting on $2.3 billion in debt. The default occurred in 2010.
Thomas, who was up for re-election that November, accepted his removal from the council and abandoned plans to seek another council term. He then ran for election to the council in 2011, garnering little support.
In December 2011, Thomas filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, listing $346,474 in assets and $10,262,800 in liabilities, including a claim for $8.4 million by Sovereign Bank, which won a judgment against him after arguing in New London Superior Court that he had failed to repay a $5.2 million line of credit. Interest, late fees and attorneys' fees increased the amount of the judgment.
Filings in the bankruptcy case showed Thomas, whose salary as tribal chairman once ran to seven figures, claimed a monthly income of $4,000 in tribal "transition payments." The payments were made to adult tribal members from January 2011 through March 2012 and were substantially less than the per-capita distributions of Foxwoods gaming revenues that members received prior to that. The previous distributions, known as stipends or "incentive" payments, stopped at the end of 2010.
Thomas indicated in U.S. Bankruptcy Court papers that F. Robert LaSaracina handled his finances from 2000 to 2009. LaSaracina, a former Norwich accountant, is serving a 63-month sentence in federal prison after pleading guilty in 2011 to wire fraud and failure to pay over taxes.
LaSaracina, testifying in the Sovereign Bank case in July 2010, said Thomas regularly overspent his tribal credit card by tens of thousands of dollars and often could not cover the expenses.
Five months into his first term on the tribal council, Steven Thomas also filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, claiming $20,500 in assets and $357,908 in liabilities. He listed his monthly income as $22,000. The case was closed several months after it was filed.
The FBI probe of tribal finances began in 2010, and involved a review of federal grants awarded the tribe, sources said at the time. In October 2011, FBI agents subpoenaed tribal documents dating back as far as 2004.
The Day reported in May that the Thomases, as well as a third tribal member, had been informed they were "targets" of the FBI investigation. The FBI reportedly had been looking into Michael Thomas' use of a corporate credit card and Steven Thomas' tribal employment in a so-called "no-show" job, allegedly accepting payment for work he never performed.
During the investigation, several past and current tribal employees were called to testify before the grand jury, some as recently as last month, sources said.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Mattei.
2002: Michael Thomas is elected chairman of the tribal council.
August 2009: In a letter to tribal members, Michael Thomas reveals the "dire financial times" facing the tribe. He vows to protect from further cuts tribal government and the monthly stipends paid to members.
Aug. 31, 2009: Michael Thomas is ousted as chairman by a vote of the tribal council after it was revealed that the tribe was on the verge of defaulting on a loan payment.
2010: Sovereign Bank wins a judgment against Michael Thomas after arguing in New London Superior Court that he had failed to repay a $5.2 million line of credit the bank extended for real estate purchases. The judge set the total amount owed by Thomas, including interest, late fees and attorneys' fees, at nearly $7.2 million.
Nov. 6, 2011: Michael Thomas fails to get elected to the tribal council.
December 2011: Michael Thomas files for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, listing $346,474 in assets and $10,262,800 in liabilities, including a claim for $8.4 million by Sovereign Bank.
April 2012: The Day reports that Michael Thomas, his brother, council Treasurer Steven Thomas, and a third tribal member are the targets of an FBI investigation.
Jan. 4, 2013: Michael Thomas and Steven Thomas are indicted on charges of theft from an Indian tribal organization.

Kathering: Away
It had been many days since I had left Gwen's side, but even if I had left, I'd be leaving her in good hands. The last I had seen her was with Soren. I was able to leave because of that, and that alone.
Soren was the only person in the world I trusted with my life. And I knew that he would trust his life with me in return. At least I had hoped.
I had walked continuously through the woods that surrounded me until, and after an entire day, I came upon a small cabin. A cabin I came to know as the cabin of the old woman Yacama.
Finally I thought as I had reached the enterence of the small door. "Old woman Yaca-" I called as I found myself tripping over a piece of string that I had clearly not seen. Damn I thought catching my fall.
Suddenly, my whole body seemed to have frozen in 'mid-stumble.'
What in the world is- My thoughts came to a halt as did the world around me. My heart slowly began to beat slower and slower as I felt blood rushing to my head.
The door flew open revealing a woman that looked to be in her mid sixties. "No one sets foot on old woman Yacama's house!" she screamed finally looking down at me. "I hope you go-, oh my!" she screamed realizing who she had caught in her trap.
"Child!" she screamed as my body began to move again. "Child!" she caught me as I fell. "Oh, dear!" she repeated over and over.
"Old woman Yacama," I smiled up at her as I saw shock fill her face once more. "You never ceace to amaze me with your near-death traps. For once, I am impressed." Then darkness swept over me as I went completely limp in her arms.
The first things I heard was the voice of an angel. A voice that sang a beautiful melody:
The branches sway with the air,
The warmth of the sun shines with care,
The soil beneath grows with life,
as the waves clash as to be with strife.
I was about to fall back asleep with the tune drifting around me until a sharp pain entered my body jerking me up into a sitting position. "Ow!" I screamed looking around.
I saw the woman stand before me smiling, "You gave me a scare there, my young Kathering."
"That was nothing compared to the scare I got when my entire body froze and my heart stopped." I countered getting up to face old Yacama.
" Nonsense!" she gave me a stern look.
"What?! 'Nonsense'?! I nearly died!"
"But you did not, and you knew I would not hurt you intentionally," she smiled and swiftly walked towards me and gave me a quick hug.
"Yeah, well you're not entirely harmless."
"Come, eat young child. You muct be starving," she smiled at headed towards a small table set for two.
I followed as soon as I heard my stomache complain. "So what was it this time? Poison? Electric shocks that kill you? Stun?"
The old woman simply smiled, "It has nothing to do with any of those, my dear. Like you, I have gained much knowledge since your last visit many years ago."
"Then what was it?" I asked eating the delicious food on the table.
"Water magic." was all she said. My fork dropped with my mouth in asonishment.
"WHAT?!" I gasped.
She casually looked out the window as she nodded.
"How?! Water has nothing to do with that. I wasn't wet, I didnt have water with me, I wasn't sweating, I haven't had water in a long time either!" I wanted to know. I was eager to know. Something inside me just burned with desire. "How?!" I asked again.
"You're lying when you say you didn't have water with you," she kept her gaze out the window.
"Uhm, I'm pretty sure I would know if I had water with me. I'd have drunk it." I asked confused.
"The human body is made up of 75 percent of water. I," she paused and looked back at me with a smile. "have learned to control that water which runs through the very veins in your body. In other words, I have complete control over almost every human in the world." An evil smile came to her lips.
I said nothing, but processed what she had said. I had remembered a man named Vland being the best at water magic, but did he know this?
"Are you surprised, young Kat?" she smiled warmly now. When I didn't speak, she simple reverted her attention to the setting sun. "Do not fret, for I was just like you when I first heard this news as well. It was simply impossible, but it is not all that hard."
"How did you control me when you were inside though?" I asked remembering that she had been inside when I came to her cabin.
"The wire you tripped over stumbled you, did it not?" she asked.
"Yes, it did." Realization hit me. "Do you have some kind of device that warns you when the wire has been triggered?"
She nodded and then added, "But because of my acute hearing, I simply heard you walk to my house. When your even foot steps became uneven, I knew someone was there. From that moment on, I simply found 'the water in your body' and controled it. Freezing you. What I didn't expect was my favorite human in the world being at my mercy" she grinned.
There was a long silence as I gawked at the woman that was before me. "That's increadible," I said.
"Yes, it is indeed very amazing," she said, "Now tell me. How are you, child? And what are you doing here?" Thats when I began my long story of how everything happened.

I thought that the popup elephant I made the other day would make a nice Valentine project - I hope that #truelove agrees!
Looking at the original I thought it might be better with a head not made from a cube but slightly shortened front to back. After a little experimentation I came up with this prototype.
Which then developed into this project.
And it still squashes down nicely ready to pop up!
Do you like the bokeh in the first picture? 35mm f/1.8 lens - looking good!

For the first of his two shows at New York City's Roseland Ballroom, the boys (dubbed Lox Buzzardos) joined White on stage for a mix of Blunderbuss tunes, White Stripes classics like "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground," "Ball & Biscuit," and "Seven Nation Army" and even a few from his other bands, like the Raconteurs' "Steady, As She Goes" and the Dead Weather's "Cut Like a Buffalo." In pure Jack fashion, he was all over the stage most of the night, tearing up guitar solos on every chance he got. Check out photos from Hive photographer Loren Wohl below.

I wanted to make a simple side dish using only asparagus.
Mind you don't over boil the asparagus. Just microwave if you like. Bake for however long you like, and adjust the amount of mustard to your taste.
Enjoy Japanese food around the world.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Jason Giambi took Zack Greinke deep, not much of a surprise given their history against each other.
The rest of the Rockies battering the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner? That was a nice boost at the end of a road trip.
Giambi homered and drove in four runs, Ian Stewart had three RBI and the Colorado Rockies roughed up Greinke in an 11-7 win over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
"To beat a guy like that is a huge confidence booster," said Giambi, who has 799 career extra-base hits. "A lot of guys asked about him in this room and I said this guy's electric, when he's got it going he's got great stuff. Lucky for us, we caught him right before he gets going."
Giambi got it started against Kansas City's ace with a three-run homer in the third inning and capped a five-run fourth off him with an RBI single. Troy Tulowitzki homered, Clint Barmes drove in two runs and the Rockies chased Greinke (1-5) after 3 1/3 innings in his shortest outing in nearly two years.
The pitching wasn't so great.
Aaron Cook labored with command and couldn't end a lengthy road losing streak despite being spotted a 9-0 lead. Esmil Rogers (1-2) pitched two innings in relief to get his first career win, but he wasn't exactly sharp, allowing two runs and five of Kansas City's season-high 18 hits in two innings.
The Rockies made up for it by tying a team record with five double plays and banging out 15 hits.
"It was really good to see us swing the bats in the manner in which we did," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "We didn't necessarily pitch the game as well as I liked to see it pitched, especially when we got out to a 9-0 lead."
Greinke has been hurt by low run support in his disappointing start to the season.
Lately, the long balls haven't done him any good, either.
Last start, it was Baltimore's Luke Scott, who hit two solo shots off the right-hander in a no-decision that the Orioles went on to win in 10 innings.
Giambi took his turn against Greinke this time, launching a three-run shot to center that put the Rockies up 3-0 in the third inning.
Maybe that wasn't much of a surprise: of Giambi's five career hits against Greinke, four are homers.
But everyone else was hitting Greinke, too. He wasn't sharp for one of the rare times over the past two seasons and the Rockies pounced on seemingly every pitch, battering him for five runs in the fourth inning.
"Every once in a while it's not your day," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "That was one of those occasions for Zack today. He just struggled to get his fastball down."
The Royals still had a shot after Giambi's homer in the third inning, but Greinke's struggles in the fourth was too much to overcome.
Stewart had a two-run double in the inning, and Barmes, Dexter Fowler and Giambi each had run-scoring singles. The hits by Fowler and Giambi came after Royals shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt was charged with an error on an underhanded throw to second that rolled like a golf putt.
Greinke allowed eight runs -- seven earned -- on nine hits in his shortest outing since giving up seven runs in three innings against the White Sox on July 18, 2008.
"They weren't really swinging at it, so I was leaving in the wrong part of the strike zone," Greinke said. "Sometimes you get away with stuff, but they were aggressive and not really missing stuff."
Cook's problems came in the fifth inning.
The Royals roughed up the right-hander for four runs in the inning, getting run-scoring singles from Billy Butler, Mitch Maier and Chris Getz to go with Alberto Callaspo's sacrifice fly to cut the lead to 9-4.
Cook gave up four runs on nine hits in 4 1/3 innings to remain winless his last nine road starts, but Tulowitzki added a solo homer and Barmes a run-scoring double in the sixth to put the Rockies up 11-4.
"I made some bad pitches, walked a couple of guys and got some pitches up in the zone," Cook said. "I was just trying to give our defense a chance, they were turning double plays all day. I wasn't trying to strike anyone out, just let them put the ball in play, and they kept hitting it where our fielders weren't."
Butler had four hits, while Maier and Callaspo had two RBI each.
- A moment of silence was held before the game in memory of Jose Lima, who died Sunday of a heart attack. The colorful right-hander pitched for the Royals in 2003 and 2005.
- Rockies CF Carlos Gonzalez was a last-minute scratch due to a lingering sore left wrist. He was replaced by Fowler.
- Royals C Jason Kendall caught game No. 1,950, tying Tony Pena for fifth all-time.
- Kansas City's Willie Bloomquist hit his first homer in 170 at-bats off Randy Flores in the eighth inning.

It's never too late to love, to learn or to really LIVE your life ? or too early.
That was the message of the surprise British hit "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" in 2011, and that message is even more pronounced and entertaining in the 2015 follow-up, "The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" (PG, 2:02). Now, pay attention, teenagers and 20-somethings. When I review a YA movie and it's good, I encourage older adults to keep an open mind and give the film a chance. Now it's the turn of all young adults reading my reviews to keep THEIR minds open?
All the original cast is back for the sequel and with a few new veteran and younger actors joining them. The action picks up a few months after the story in the first film ended, with the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel doing well, and some of its mature long-term residents beginning or contemplating new romantic relationships and even jobs in their new hometown of Jaipur, India. But this film opens very differently than you'd expect: Sonny Kapur (Dev Patel) is speeding down Route 66 in a Mustang convertible with the top down ? and ignoring the protestations of his passenger (and co-manager of the hotel back in India), Mrs. Muriel Donnelly (Maggie Smith). They're on their way to a business meeting with Ty Burley (David Strathairn), the head of a chain of extended-stay hotels that cater to the aged. The very polite and VERY enthusiastic Sonny and the very? direct and very proper Mrs. Donnelly each do their part to pitch the idea of a (using a nice play on words) 2nd Best Exotic Marigold Hotel near the original. They have the customer demand, but they need investors to help them purchase a vacant hotel in town. Mr. Burley won't commit, but he does agree to send an incognito inspector in the near future. Very excited and mildly encouraged (respectively), Sonny and Mrs. Donnelly head home.
Back in Jaipur, there's much more going on with the residents and staff of the hotel than just expansion plans. There's romance in the air (as well as threats to romance), both for the 20-somethings and the 70-somethings? and maybe one or two others in between. Sonny is working through wedding plans with his fiancé, Sunaina (Tina Desae), but feels threatened by old frenemy Kushal (Shazad Latif) who has been teaching Sunaina complicated dances for the engagement party and wedding. Randy old lothario Norman (Ronald Pickup ? and, yes, ironically enough, that is his real name) alternately bemoans and appreciates having made the decision to be exclusive with live-in girlfriend Carol (Diana Hardcastle), who just may have a wandering eye of her own. Meanwhile, Madge (Celia Imrie), Norman's female equivalent in the group, is being courted by two wealthy Indian men, but wonders if she should be looking in still another direction for happiness. Evelyn (Judi Dench) and Douglas (Bill Nighy) seem to want to get together, but both are afraid to make a move ? and things get even more complicated when Douglas' wife, Jean (Penelope Wilton), shows up to finalize their divorce ? and with their daughter (Fiona Mollison) in tow.
Last, but certainly not least, Sonny is falling all over himself to impress a new guest named Guy Chambers (Richard Gere), who Sonny is convinced is the hotel inspector. But, much to Sonny's dismay, Guy mainly seems interested in getting to know Sonny's widowed mother (Lillette Dubey). (Eventually, Sonny feels compelled to set up a date between the two, selling Guy as "so handsome, he has me urgently questioning my own sexuality" ? one of the many funny lines in the movie ? but Sonny is getting married and his mother shows no interest in the suave stranger.) Meanwhile, Sonny is being consistently rude to another new guest, Lavinia Beach (Tamsin Greig), who tells him she's looking for a place for her elderly mother to live. The stress of all this? STUFF is getting to Sonny and he begins making mistake after mistake, both in his personal relationships and in his business. But while he's working through all that, the hotel's residents are making mistakes of their own ? and jeopardizing opportunities that may never come again. There's a lot going on here, but not in the too-difficult-to-follow way. More in the too-difficult-to-turn-away? way. And as these subplots unfold, the story takes more twists and turns than a horse-drawn taxi racing through the busy streets of Jaipur.
"The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" is an excellent movie that stands on its own merits, but is also everything that a sequel should be. The film builds on the appeal of the original ? especially the simultaneous clashing and blending of cultures ? and generations ? but still stays fresh and relevant. The story stays true to its characters, takes their journey forward in natural and meaningful ways, and brings in new characters and new conflicts to shake things up. The script is creative, engaging, touching and funny. A lot of the laughs are aimed at the ages of the hotel's residents, but they're in on the joke ? laughing with and at themselves and each other, while also saying and showing what lives well-lived are all about. The aging characters' everyday speech combines common doubts and struggles with wise words, reflecting a lifetime of experience, and carrying great lessons for any younger audience members who will make the effort to really listen. I found myself wishing that these characters could have their own TV series, but alas, what makes them appealing is exactly what makes my wish impossible ? they really are quite old? and vibrant? and wise? and fun? and entirely relatable. I'll just have to do what we should all do with the elders in our lives ? enjoy them while we have them ? and give them the respect they deserve. For this group of actors and filmmakers and their film, that's an "A".

Into the NightMature
"So where'd you get that mask? Did it cost a lot?" Carly Beth kept walking forward. "Can I touch it?" Carly Beth sighed and turned to her friend. Sabrina removed her glove and put her hand on Carly Beth's face. She quickly pulled her arm back. "Carly Beth, what is that made of? It feels like real skin, it's so warm!" Carly Beth turned and faced straight ahead. "I think you should take that mask off Carly Beth." "I think you should shut the fuck up!" Snapped Carly Beth. Sabrina stared at Carly Beth. "It's so gross though!" Carly Beth grabbed Sabrina by the neck and started shaking her back and forth. She let loose a blood curdling screech. "Stop! You're hurting me!" Carly Beth started laughing. She released Sabrina's throat. "Haha, got you. You should have seen your face." Sabrina backed away from Carly Beth. "It's not that funny, Carly Beth. That really hurt." Carly Beth stopped laughing. "I'm sorry, I'm just, you now, gettin' in the mood." Sabrina got a disgusted look on her face. She looked Carly Beth up and down. "Well you're doing a good job." "I'm just having fun scaring people. It's usually me getting dicked over." Sabrina rolled her eyes. "Let's just go." Carly Beth laughed and started running towards a house. Sabrina ran to catch up.
Carly Beth reached out and rang the doorbell. A woman and her young son came to the door. The woman opened the door slowly. "Now that's one scary mask..." The boy looked over at Sabrina. "What are you supposed to be? A giant hamster?" Sabrina looked down at the little boy. "I'm a cat." A little girl walked out beside her mother. "I don't like the other one Mommy, it's too scary." The woman looked from Carly Beth to her daughter. Carly Beth's sneer intensified. "It's just a funny mask hunny, don't be afraid." Carly Beth started breathing deeply. She knelt down to the little girl. "You better watch what you say you little cunt." The little girl screamed and ran into the house. She was quickly followed by the little boy. The woman straightened up. "Hey, what do you think you're doing, she's just a little girl!" Carly Beth kicked the woman in the side of the leg. The woman fell to her knees. Carly Beth swept forward and lunged her razor sharp teeth into the woman's neck. Blood spurted all over the front porch. The woman's jugular had been torn open. Carly Beth stood up and wiped the blood from her mouth. The woman clutched at her neck, and stared up at Carly Beth. The woman let out a final gasp then fell forward. She was dead. Sabrina was frozen in place. Fear and shock had overwhelmed her. Carly Beth turned to her. "P...please don't kill me Carly Beth, please." Carly Beth looked at Sabrina carefully. "We'll go back to my house and sort everything out!" Carly Beth nodded and walked over to Sabrina. "Sabrina?" Sabrina looked at Carly Beth. The masked girl's head was lowered. "What is it Carly Beth?" "I'm so scared." Carly Beth ran screaming down the road, into the night.
"Chuck...are you sure?" The tall boy in the pirate costume kept walking away. "Come on you pussy." Steve looked around then sighed. "Wait up!" He ran after his friend, into the cemetery.
"Mommy help me!" Screamed a little boy as Carly Beth slammed the cleaver into his forehead. Little children ran and screamed in all directions. Carly Beth wondered why no one had called the police. Then it hit her. No one has found out what she was doing. Perfect. Carly Beth watched the children scatter, then she turned, and ran into the woods.

Tonight is not the first, nor pray the last
that I have come to watch thee in a play.
And by these lines, and observations past,
I can but think I know thee in a way.
As man is not but flesh, it isn't merely
Hamlet on the stage; but thee, and Shakespeare--
each disposition writ, and in thee clearly,
each coward, monster, knave thou makest dear.
So deeply am I moved by thy devotion
and awe, that I would fain believe I love thee.
O, What a thing is art, that by emotion
one could see so much as I do of thee.
And what a thing is fame, that we thus care,
and ne'er lament when thou art unaware.

It was a really good place to visit, it had an Imax cinema and a planetarium and plenty of other rockets, space stations etc to look at and we only saw part of it in the time we were there.

Top 50 Titles:
"The premise of Brothers – communicated entirely through theatrical gestures and conversations in an untranslated fantasy language – is as affecting and uncomplicated as the journey that follows." - PCGamer.com

"Short, simple but immensely satisfying, it's Ico meets Limbo in Fable's world. One word: spellbinding." - computerandvideogames.com

– Puzzle and challenges for 2 – using unique qualities of big and little brothers (strength/size/speed etc)
– The Brothers – unique abilities and can achieve more together than they can individually.
– Game Director, Josef Fares – Established film director with a passion for Brothers.
– Narrative above the ordinary – an emotional story told without words.
This game is short but beautiful, after playing the game you could describe your day to someone as sitting in front of a screen all day pressing buttons in an order that made you cry. Hours well spent
I do not want to spoiler, [I already did it with the title (duh)] Good graphic style, very good story, great to play alone or with a partner, it is more enjoyable with a partner! 10/10
A surprisingly heart-wrenching tale with beautiful graphics, interesting control structure and a great story. I was able to control both characters with my keyboard (one with WASD, the other with arrow key pad), but it was a bit confusing at times. Once you got the hang of it though, it wasn't too bad. I am not an avid "platformer" fan, but I quite enjoyed this one!
This game has no audible language (tho it sounds very Arabic because of the developer) but it doesn't need one for you to enjoy the gameplay and appreciate the story. I played with a controller as the game suggested and controls can prove challenging but fun since you control both brothers and have to make sure they're in sync in most of the puzzles. The story is just beautiful as you see the strong bond between these 2 brothers searching for a cure for their father. The ending made me tear up. It's very short and I did buy this during a sale, but even at full price, it's very much worth it.
This is a superb game. I generally go for games more based on the gameplay, but that was not the case here. This game has a good story. The gameplay is mediocre at best. You need a controller to play this. It is single player, but you control one brother with one stick and the other brother with the other stick. Get the tissues ready.

"Optimism in Bloom"
Poem by: CanadianIdiot
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
I thought eveything was going to be okay,
And that I'd be free from sorrow,
But now I have to go to sleep,
Fearing what's going to happen tomorrow.
Haven't I put up with enough?
Haven't I suffered like this before?
I don't believe in a loving God,
Because all he gives me is apathy and more.
I'm sick of being fucked over like this,
And bitching to no avail,
Yet I always have that glimmer of hope inside,
That in someway, somehow I will prevail.
I'm doubting myself so much,
But my optimism is in bloom.
Perhaps this bullshit is worth something,
Or maybe it's just spelling out my doom.

Day 17 - Ignition, Hollywood & Santa Monica Beach
... bite to eat we went to a skateboard store as Tony had given Darren a skateboard!! Darren was saying about getting one so that was so cool for Tony to give him one!! He and a friend create the graphics to go on the skateboards and gave him one with JFK on but we just needed the trucks and wheels.
In the evening we watched Avengers with Jim and Tony and kept looking for affordable housing in vail...so far it's proving so hard!

Dirdre Dwyer, "The Judicial Assessment of Expert Evidence"
Cambridge University Press | 2009 | ISBN: 052150970X | 468 pages | PDF | 1,9 MB
Justice systems increasingly rely on expert evidence. We are therefore obliged to justify the courts' ability to assess this evidence, especially when the courts must resolve disagreements between experts or address possible bias. By reintegrating contemporary evidence theory with applied philosophy, Deirdre Dwyer analyses the epistemological basis for the judicial assessment of expert evidence. Reintegrating evidence with procedure, she also examines how we might arrange our legal processes in order to support our epistemological and non-epistemological expectations. Including analysis of the judicial assessment of expert evidence in civil litigation (comparing practice in England and Wales with that in the United States, France, Germany and Italy), the book also provides the first detailed account of the historical development of English civil expert evidence and the first analysis of the use of party experts, single joint experts and assessors under the Civil Procedure Rules.

OK, I understand now. > Problem with the JCR API is that, > org.apache.jackrabbit.rmi.value.BinaryValue cannot be cast to > org.apache.jackrabbit.api.JackrabbitValue Yes, as far as I know the RMI layer doesn't currently support JackrabbitValue. I guess either you need to patch the RMI layer yourself (patches are always welcome), wait for somebody else to do it, or use another API. The local (non-remote) API works for sure.

Public Support for CCTV in the UK
Nowhere else in the world is CCTV used so widely for Public Area Surveillance than in the UK.
In the UK it has achieved a unique level of support from the public and the media being seen to be more in the role of a 'Benevolent Father' helping to reduce crime and catch offenders rather than any perception of 'Big Brother', a term most responsible CCTV managers and operators would shy away from being associated with.
It has achieved this public acceptance largely from well publicised successes in the media from many high profile cases where offenders have been apprehended solely as a result of the public area CCTV systems, the professional and responsible approach of most CCTV managers and operators, the operation of systems to nationally recognised Model Codes of Practice and Procedures Manuals, and the legislative framework that now exists around the use of CCTV systems in the UK with the
and we would like to think all the work done by the CCTV User Group since 1996 in trying to work with other bodies in developing recognised Standards for the Industry.
We also recognise the considerable amount of support and advice that has also been provided by the
all of which has added to this image of CCTV as a positive influence on the life of residents and visitors to the towns and cities of the UK
Over the last decade, due principally to the significant financial support given by all Governments, the number of Town and City CCTV systems carrying out public area surveillance in the UK has grown from 3 in 1991 to probably between 3-350 town and city centre systems.
This figure is conjecture for despite many guesses heard at conferences, no one knows, as there is no known database of how many such systems there are or exactly who operates them. To identify how many public surveillance systems there are also requires:
There is no doubt that such CCTV systems have been extremely effective in combating crime and terrorism in public areas, and increasing the public's feeling of safety and security in going about their daily lives in towns and cities. Many high profile cases have demonstrated how such public area systems have enabled the perpetrators of crimes to be identified and convicted who might otherwise have evaded justice (E.g. Jamie Bulger, London Nail Bomber, Ealing Bomber to highlight just a few) and we are confident the current evaluations being carried out by the Scarman Centre for Public Order for the Home Office will support this view.
The CCTV User Group however recognises that the power of CCTV is such, that used improperly it has an equal potential for the invasion of a persons' right to privacy and potentially could endanger their Civil Liberties, as not until relatively recently has there been any legislative control over the operation of the systems, although most of the town and city centre systems were required by the Government funding initiatives to operate to Codes of Practice.
The CCTV User Group, a totally independent membership organisation whose members include the vast majority of Local Authorities and Police Forces operating town and city centre systems, as well as a significant representation of other "Users" of CCTV equipment, was formed in 1996, to attempt to address this anomaly with the prime objectives of "Setting Standards for the Industry", identifying "Best Practice" and developing Model Codes of Practice and other Model Documents to assist managers and operators in the effective and responsible use of their systems. It has become nationally and internationally recognised as the prime source of information with regard to the operation of CCTV systems in the UK and is actively assisting with a United States University Research Project for their Federal Government, examining the development and effectiveness of public area CCTV systems in the UK
The CCTV User Group welcomed the introduction of
These Acts provided the long awaited, first formal legislation governing the operation of CCTV, the requirements of which complement our own previous informal guidelines. However we are concerned (see above) that they did not go far enough, and that whilst we are confident that most of our member's town and city centre systems are generally, albeit in some cases very slowly, complying with the requirements, we are extremely concerned that either through ignorance, poor management or in some cases lack of finance other CCTV system managers in many other sectors do not appear to be. (Note the recent baby abduction case from a hospital in the West Midlands where the CCTV system was apparently not working effectively).
We also welcomed the "Private Security Industry Act" but had hoped that it would be broader in scope, and also include the requirement for the licensing, registration and vetting of 'in house' CCTV personnel, as well as those provided by private security companies. It seems a major anomaly that a "private" security guard patrolling a "private" factory has to be vetted and licensed, but 'in-house staff' operating a public area CCTV system, with all the potential for infringing Civil Liberties does not have to be licensed and indeed many authorities are finding it difficult to obtain any satisfactory vetting, with no category for such vetting coming under the Criminal Records Bureau criteria.
In respect of the Police Reform Bill, we support the principal of "Town Wardens" or secondary security forces for town/ city centres which should enable the scarce resources of the Police to concentrate on their professional tasks. We are however already concerned about the limited "powers of arrest" available to store detectives, whereby they can only detain suspects if they personally have witnessed an event, whilst Police can arrest when they have reasonable grounds to believe an event has occurred. In the context of the increasing use of CCTV and communication between CCTV control rooms and store detectives / Town Wardens, frequently it is the CCTV operator who has witnessed an event and notified the detective / town warden to take action. We are legally advised that if a store detective detains an individual based solely on information provided by a third party, not having witnessed the event himself, it is in fact an illegal detention. Our concern is that under the proposed arrangements Town and Neighbourhood Wardens will find themselves in a similar situation which puts them and the authority at risk of claims of illegal detention and claims for compensation.
Our final concern is with the ongoing funding of these town and city centre CCTV systems. We appreciate the significant amounts of capital money the government has invested in the provision of the systems, but are concerned that many public authorities are finding the ongoing running costs which in many cases amount to around £500,000 per annum a strain on already limited budgets. Our principal concern is that once the reduction in crime is achieved, given other demands on their finances, some authorities are already beginning to consider that they no longer need to man or operate the systems to the same degree as at present, diverting those funds to other priorities. The considerable capital investment is not then being used to maximum effect.
We appreciate that the government would be unwilling to directly fund these ongoing costs for all Local Authorities but believe that either the 'Crime and Disorder' element of the Rate Support Grant calculation should be amended to reflect these responsibilities and costs, or that the "Goods and Services Act" which controls the ability of some Local Authorities to carry out work for the private sector should be broadened to enable Local Authorities to take maximum advantage of a tremendous asset of a 24/7/365 professionally manned emergency control room, to also provide monitoring services for private sector companies, introducing income to offset their operating costs.
Each member of the CCTV User Group is committed to ensuring the effective management of his public area CCTV system, each one being able to provide testament to how their system has enhanced the "quality of life" for those in their community in the protection from, and detection of, criminal or terrorist incidents.
However each would also argue strongly that the exceptional degree of public support that currently exists for such public area CCTV systems, will only be retained whilst the public have confidence that their Civil Liberties and Human Rights can not be abused, and there are no equally high profile cases where an individuals rights have been found to be abused in such a manner.
We, as the CCTV User Group, believe that unless the following measures are introduced there is a significant risk that such an event will occur, bringing the use of CCTV as a public area security tool into disrepute and destroying all the valuable work it has achieved.
We are respectfully lobbying the Government to consider:-
We sincerely believe that if the above amendments can be made, each will substantially increase the effectiveness of CCTV as an essential tool against town and city centre crime and terrorism. However failing to address each of these issues could result in CCTV loosing the current exceptional level of public and media support it enjoys; CCTV falling into disrepute; and severely reductions in the effectiveness and value received from the earlier investment.
