There are many Directors that have added the Alien brand to their list of credentials, James Cameron (Avatar), David Fincher (Fight Club), Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amelie), but it is only Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner) that can dawn the name of creator. Since the inception of the Xenomorph, fans have waited for Scott to return to the series and today that wait is over. Not only does Prometheus mark the return of Alien, but it's also Scott's return to sci-fi and most are left wondering if he has what it takes to revive the series.
For those that don't know Prometheus is the definitive prequel to Alien, and while it is a new beginning I think a knowledge of the franchise is required. Without that insight into the film, the viewer will be left with questions at every turn. Prometheus is the story of a crew of scientists that set out from Earth to find their creators. Lead by Charlie Holloway and Elizabeth Shaw through clues found in ancient hieroglyphics found across the planet, they will choose to believe in gods or surcome to an evolutionary demise. The crew arrives at moon LV-223 (not the moon depicted in Alien) in hopes of finding the meaning to their existence, only to find an empty shell of a ship and a sickness that could destroy them all.
Written by Damon Lindelof (Lost ) it doesn't surprise that the root of Prometheus' story is grounded in faith vs science. While the issue is never crammed down your throat the message is clear. Lindelof uses this as a guide to create a universe the likes of which Alien has never seen. Long gone are the winding corridors and attackers in the night, and a tale of intrigue and suspense has been re-created. Like the first Alien, you are left on the edge of your seat wondering what these creatures are and how our characters can survive them. Scott and Lindelof knew that the alien attacker, as we know it, had become more of a brand than a frightening experience, they took this knowledge and aimed it at the heart of the Alien universe, the space Jockey. The universe Lindelof created in Prometheus is vast and intriguing, the only time he loses stride is when connecting the film with Ridley Scott's original. With out that burden Lindelof could have been well on his way to a sci-fi masterpiece.
Since the first film viewers have been less interested in the universe and more interested in the first appearance of the alien beings. Cameron came into the sequel to Alien with this very knowledge, giving the people more than they were looking for. With Prometheus, Scott takes the film back to its roots, but this time he has a budget to make it beautiful. With the camera Scott brings the intrigue of the first back, yes we know little about what we are in for, but it's so beautiful that you never want the film to leave the screen. Most of this intrigue is added brilliantly through the use of 3D. Not since Avatar have I seen a film that completely sells the medium. I'm not sure what brought Scott back to the Alien universe, but little nods to Cave of Forgotten Dreams seem to be what brought him into 3D. Whether you end up liking the story of Prometheus or not, one thing is for sure, Scott knows the look of Science fiction. Not only does the film look remarkable, it is also beautifully acted.
What more can we say about Michael Fassbender (Shame), the guy shows time after time that he is the real thing. As David the android that is searching for his own humanity and following the orders of his heartless creator, Fassbender delivers a performance that could be created into its own film. When an actor has created an entity that you never want to leave the screen then they have exceeded the expectations of the performance. That is exactly what Fassbender did with David. Our time alone with the android at the beginning of the film may just be the movie's highlight accomplishment and without Fassbender the new world is less likely to be intriguing.
Along with Fassbender, Noomi Rapace (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) adds more depth to her already impressive career. Scott placed the functionality of the entire film on the back of Rapace and she handled the task beautifully. The coldness of the Lisbeth is gone and she is given even more room to shine as Elizabeth Shaw, our new alien female super fighter. Rapace fills the Alien bad-ass shoes well and leaves you even more excited about where her career will take her next.
As a long time fan of the Alien series I was through the roof excited to see Prometheus. With Ridley Scott back at the helm what fan wouldn't be? Some will be disappointed with the series turn and an examination of the prequel's connecting elements may leave you questioning its whole concept. If you can let go of a forgone idea of what an Alien film should be Prometheus will be a fun ride. I know that I enjoyed the film and am ready for a repeat performance. The movie shines in the creation of a new universe and lacks when trying to connect that universe to its predecessors, but either way it's one hell of an experience.
I give Prometheus 4 "C-section scars" out of 5

Yes, the MyIGN console. A console developed by MyIGN users to compete with all the other consoles out there. Just think for a moment that we had enough money to make a new console with it's own exclusive games and features, what ones would you make?
Here's just a few game ideas that I think should be made on the system.
Dinosaur game
Lost Legends
The Dinosaur genre has seemed to have died down for a while after games like the reboot of Turok. Personally I think that this genre needs to be revived quickly. Ever since I was 6 years old, I've been interested in loads of things to do with Dinosaurs. This game however would be different from the Dinosaur hunter games you get with Humans as the main characters. This would be set entirely million of years ago and has nothing to do with Humans at all. No hunters. No time travelers. Instead you would be able to play many Dinosaurs from small, flying, Marine and the big beasts like the T-Rex. All with different stories in an attempt of survival for small dinosaurs from natural disasters, starvation and other creatures and conflict for the Centrosaurus and the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Players may interpret the story in different ways since it's not exactly a spoon fed story. For many it will be looking out for their families, for others it will be a struggle to survive.
Why do I think this a good idea. Well for starters it would prevent it from becoming a dumbed down genre like Zombies and it could amp up the long lost Dinosaur genre before it's lost forever.
This is what a Centrosaurus looks like.
Polar Shift game
This is an actual theory where the Earth's axis could tilt causing complete chaos and in just a few days, the entire face of landscapes and climates would become very different. Although I should probably talk about that some other time. In this game, a father loses his daughter to a kidnapper for unknown reasons and just about when he is about to stop him, the whole world is changed. Despite the destruction, he is one of the very few to survive although this is not over. Far from it. There are many other things he has to cope with like earthquakes, Tsunamis, severe weather, landscapes breaking apart and what happens after all of this over? There's not gonna be enough food for all the survivors... if there are any which will cause resentment and conflict forcing civilization to crumble and adapt to this new world. However despite all this chaos, he is still focusing on finding his daughter and the kidnapper.
Throughout the game, the main character sees the past via flashbacks which shows how much the natural world and society have changed but it also shows that he is not the good guy everyone thinks he is where the story also links in to a lot of mystery with prophecies dating to the disaster from days to centuries before the worldwide disaster.
I decided to talk about this because I don't think there are many games based on disasters so I thought it would be cool if a game was actually made especially with a great story.
Design your warfare game
This game lets you customize warfare more than any other game yet. Create your own factions, start your own wars and organize the way you want to take over territories such as stealth, missiles as diversions,etc. The weapons would be given huge amounts of upgrades where you use weapons that have bullets blazed in fire, cryo weapons even plasma weapons (high energies found in stars). As you progress, the soldiers you play as become much stronger to a point where you are no longer a proper Human due to the armour and implants as well as amping up weapons from simple bullet weapons to energy weapons that can change the climate but then again so does the enemies that you haven't fought against yet and are merely bidding their time for a surprise attack on your bases.
The reason for this is that a lot of the FPS games haven't added much gameplay except for a few. The premise of the story would be about securing own territories during World War 3 that seems inevitable for Humanity's extinction. It doesn't necessarily have a story per say since you are creating it yourself which allows more freedom but there will be cutscenes where you gain or lose forces.
Creating your maps game
This game wouldn't just be about creating your own world but also testing out things you wouldn't be able to do like creating a tornado by a volcano to create a lava tornado or bring an asteroid in to the ocean to see how far the landscape is flooded. You would be able to create your own species, decide what their behaviour which can orchestrate from peaceful traditions to catastrophic wars but the one of the most important things is that you can accelerate further in to the future to see how things change for the species you've created. Maybe even create an apocalyptic dateline and see if they can solve it before it's too late. Just one thing you use as a feature of personality or disaster will factor how catastrophic it will be, who will survive, will they learn from their mistakes, will they fly in to the stars or will they even create a disaster themselves e.g cybernetic revolt, synthetic disease.
These are just a few ideas for games that I would want on this console as examples to be different and an improvement to other games but it will also bring back some games that were lost after the PS1 and PS2 like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Croc, Gex, Hogs of War, sequels that we never got like Tony Hawk's Underground 3 and Star Wars: Battlefront 3 and expanding franchises like Ratchet and Clank and Jak and Daxter with many games and spin-offs to appeal to different audiences. Most of which to become MyIGN exclusives including Templar's Greed.
Again these are just a few but if you want me to talk more about the games I've mentioned or new ones I haven't told you about, I will happily be able to explain in new blogs. Plus I will talk about the franchises of the PS1 and PS2 later.
So we've had some exclusives that may interest people in the console. Now lets go on to the features. Now exclusives are sometimes the main reason why people will buy a certain console in the first place but this console is going to add a lot of socializing and offline features more than other consoles.
So first of all, you wouldn't need to buy any avatars, you can just copy an paste images in which you can also gain connectivity to IGN and the MyIGN community with the avatars you using there as well and if there the player or friends don't allow privacy, then you can view their wallpapers, videos etc.
You would be able to see what other players are doing (again if they allow it) and there will be quick messaging between games and movies where you just have to press a single button to bring up a small chat room in the corner so you don't spoil the gameplay or movie.
As I said, you would be able to watch movies too which could lead to a lot of piracy so in order to do this, you would have to subscribe to a MyIGN console service in which you have to pay a small fee to let players watch the movies you're watching. Although we have over 1000 movies at our house so the small fee would be like a steal.
So since this console is based on games and features that MyIGNers want, what games and features would you like to see on this new console?
Thanks for reading.

While researching the mkVII KTT, I was reminded of Les Higgins, who rode such in the '38 Isle of Man TT, and wrote a book about his racing exploits, 'Private Owner' (Foulis, 1948 - I suggest bookfinder.com, or ebay). He was never in the top ranks of riders, but writes about the life of a typical 'clubman', the uber-enthusiast who spent all his money and free weekends racing at Brooklands, the TT, the Ulster, Donington Park, etc, filling up the ranks of the 'also rans', and the principal customer for racing machinery such as the KTT, Norton Model 30, Excelsior Manxman, etc.
Top pic is a scan of the cover, showing Les racing his MkVII, and the second pic is Les at the '38 TT (from the Keig Collection Volume 1). The caption from the photo: "Between 1938 and 1951, fairhaired Londoner Les Higgins had seven goes at the TT and finished once, 29th in the 1939 Junior on the machine pictured. His infinitely more memorable achievement was the original 'Shell History of the TT' which he painstaking compiled in 1953." Higgins also wrote 'Britain's Racing Motor Cycles' (Foulis, 1953 -he was clearly busy writing two books in 1952!), which is a well-written historical survey, full of anecdotes and details, although the photographs are sparse, the opposite of the modern trend in motorcycle books ('chopper' books have almost no text at all, probably for the better...).
Here are some extracts from 'Private Owner' : "...an agent whispered into my ear the news of the birth of a new KTT. I straightaway parted with the Mark V and placed an order for a new Mark VII...a few weeks later the agent telephoned to say that Veloce were despatching thr KTTs very shortly but were only supplying them to TT entrants. This was a step I had not considered taking, but I decided that if competing in the Island races was the only way to get the KTT then I had better enter!"

- Bring a friend or a car mechanic to inspect the car of your choice. It is recommended to examine and look over in broad daylight.
- Opt for 3 year old cars, as much as possible do not buy a vehicle that is older than 5 years as it will diminish its outstanding value in case you want to resale it.
- Know how many owners does the car previously had, the more holders the lesser its value.
- Decide on buying a popular model, as its features are superior among others.
- Do not be misled by its odometer readings. Mileage settings can be reset anytime
- Transact only with reliable used car dealers with good reputation and market history. Make some researching before you pay.

ChoruS of East Providence Concerts
The ChoruS of East Providence will perform two concerts entitled "The American Song," on Saturday, May 6th, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, May 7th, at 3:00 p.m. at East Providence High School, 2000 Pawtucket Avenue, East Providence, under the direction of Beth Armstrong, accompanied by Rena Anthony.
The music for this concert is a collection of songs and styles that Americans have sung and written since the turn of the 20th century and they represent the types of music that are uniquely American: ragtime, jazz, Broadway, folk, pop, rock, spirituals and gospel. This is music that was invented in America by American people with an American sensibility and a unique American culture. Much of it is the invention of the African-American, a culture born and raised in America and nowhere else. Although European musicians often perform American music, they long to hear Americans perform it themselves.
"The American Song" is based on the music that was developed over the years by well-known American artists, such as Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Louie Armstrong, Simon & Garfunkel, and many more. These artists have woven the melodies of so many of the American songs we have come to treasure. Music Director Beth Armstrong has created this program, featuring "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Java Jive"," I Love A Piano". We are taking this same concert to Ireland in July.
Tickets are $15.00. Tickets for Seniors are $12.00. Children twelve years old and under are admitted free. Visit the ChoruS website: www.chorusofep.org. or for tickets: www.brownpapertickets.com.
The ChoruS of East Providence annually asks for donations of canned goods and non perishable foods. This spring all donations will benefit the Bread of Life Food Pantry located at Newman Congregational Church, 100 Newman Avenue, Rumford, RI 02916. The pantry is a collaborative, ecumenical effort of six East Providence churches: Bethany Church of the Nazarene, Church of the Epiphany, Evangelical Covenant Church, Haven United Methodist Church, Newman Congregational Church, and St. Margaret Church. The Bread of Life Food Pantry is open to all those in need of food assistance from East Providence and surrounding communities regardless of religious beliefs. This is a remarkable operation that has been successful in fulfilling its mission to "feed the hungry in our midst." It has also been successful in creating a true sense of community among its volunteers as they work alongside one another to assist clients in need. The ChoruS appreciates your generosity to our efforts to help feed our neighbors.

The Deceiver in YouMature
Crude awakening, Luther experienced more of those than he'd like. Stifling the scream teasing at his throat, Luther tore into his own face. His nails scraped at the immaculate skin surrounding his lips and over his cheeks. Struggling with his reality was hard enough, being cramped and claustrophobic in the backseat of his mother's car was more than he could take. Luther attacked himself, more than anything he wanted to rid his memory of Kori, screaming at the top of his lungs caused his chest to tighten in attrition.
By the time Luther had broke skin, his mother was in the backseat fighting off his hands as self mutilation took over. Frightened and throwing in a rage of panic also, his mother wrapped her arms around his neck and pleaded her baby stop these acts she had never imagined possible. She was losing her mind just as he was.
"Honey stop! What is wrong? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!"
Mentally broken down, Kori was taking everything he had left and fusing it into the psyche of a mad man. She wanted him to believe he was insane, and sometimes, he believed it more than his own thoughts. But if he was seeing someone no one else could, then wasn't he truly insane? No, only in the mind of the atypical American.
Within seconds his attack reached its climax. Luther's eyes grew dark and he swallowed back his cries. Calmly, he took his mothers face into his palms. Delicately he whispered words she would never forget.
"Mom, I love you....run....run far away from me."
"No, Luther, don't say that!" She wouldn't abide, her consequences were severe.
"Mom!..." His voice grew strained as he threw his head back and growled deeply. "GO NOW!"
Behind Luther's irises, Kori lingered. She was unhappy with him from earlier and now, her revenge was less than subtle. She was taking hold of his control over his own mind, like he knew she would.
"Kill me! You fucking hate me and I hate you! Just do it."
Kori set before him, her arms stretched out under his, holding his elbows with all the life she pulled from his body. Laughing merely she smiled to him and raked away at his reality.
Luther tackled his mother. The two lunged out of the car and into the highway and her son began shredding into her. Lacerations formed on her skin worse than the ones lining his face. As she tried to resist, Luther pinned her harder against the asphalt, screaming in her face words of disgust and hatred.
Bystanders crowded around and struggled to pry Luther away from his mother. With every blow his mother came closer to unconsciousness. His mother withered beneath him, tears stained her ruby tarnished face. Luther felt hands around his arms and embracing his chest as men pulled him away from his mother. Sweat and blood dripped from his face onto the pavement with a thud. Suddenly, his eyes widened and Luther let out a pelting scream. Reality hit him all at once and his eyes took in the vision of others. She laid unconscious at his feet, his own mother....his flesh and blood. And again, his mind went insane and he lost control of his actions, his body....his reality.
Kori leaned into him, the corner of her mouth rising smoothly. "I told you Lex, I'm not leaving you....never...."
He hated this, it was the worst part. Waking up in a white room where Luther felt no emotion, no Kori. For nearly eight years he had dreamt of a room close to such. But this time, he felt greater pain than had ever arisen in his dreams. His mindset: his mother. His goal: standing and feeling the sensation of his legs coming to life. As of right now, Luther felt broken and higher than ever. Lifting his head slowly just brought his dream farther into his reality.
"Wh-wha-what?" Tears streamed over his cheeks as his fingertips spread across the belts strapping him to the table.
Slamming his head into the table, Luther felt his chest lock with his next breath of air. The pallid walls around him leaned into his sights from his peripherals. The room began to swallow him and he resisted the belts. With every stroke of anger within his torn body, Luther struggled with the restraints.
Doctors and nurses piled around him, needles pricked his skin and suddenly, he was out.
His sights went black. Suddenly, Luther felt upright, his head still spinning. Calling out for him mother locked that possibility of a "nightmare" into his mind. Maybe this was all just some big hallucination, hopefully he was out like a light. His ears perked as the Zippo flicked open and the fluid brought the flame into his irises, burning them as they adjusted. The flame danced within inches of his visage. A lump filled his throat and he swallowed hard, begging for it to pass.
"What do you want from me, Kori?"
Those sallow eyes stared at him over the sultry radiance. Even in near complete darkness, Luther still spotted that smirk permanently smeared across her lips. Kori raised her hand over the flame and it formed a helix of light and heat.
"I want you to stop resisting me Lex." The lighter snapped shut as Kori began inhaling the sweet decadence.
Clicking heels sounded against the cold tile and abruptly the room roared to life. White, no pearly gates, barriers of claustrophobia, and Kori in her best outfit yet: high-heels that laced around her ankles, black tights that cut off at the knee, and an elongated maroon-cotton dress that hugged the essential curves of her body.
"You know Lex, I really....really want this to work out ya know?" Kori laid her hands at her sides before pulling the cigarette from between her glossy inherent lips.
"Hey fuck you, Kori. I didn't choose to be fucking INSANE!" Luther brushed his hair back with his hand, glancing around the room, paranoia clogging his thoughts.
"You are pathetic, you know that? You can't decide between your reality and your phantasm. Well I got news for you Lex...." Kori leaned into his barrier, breaking all resistance between the two. "...I'm in control of you because toying with you makes my life worth living."
"What life....you're fucking dead you stupid bitch. And guess what?" Luther flattened his palms against her cheeks, fingertips toying behind her ears. "Don't think for one second you can control me. I'm not scared of you and your bullshit. So have me sedated...I will get YOU OUT OF ME!!!"
"THEN DO IT!" Kori screamed back at him, rage streaming through her blood. "But I can't get out of you! And you can't get rid of me!"
The two stood, entrapping the presence of the other, interceded embraces on each other forced them to stare strait into the others cold irises. Tears welled beneath their troubled souls fixating behind the darkness of the pupil. The luminescence of the fluids glowed as the trail stained their ashen skin.
From behind the two-way mirror, Luther's mother feasted her eyes upon the malicious mental breakdown of her only son. Pressing her palm over her tight lips, she wailed and broke into sobs of pain and anger.
Luther dropped to his knees on the marble floor, his arms wrapped his torso and his neck cradled the imperceptible shoulder. Rocking back and forth, his wails seeped through the glass as his face burned with a flood of blazing tears.
Merging into his body, Kori felt her spirit adhere to a tepid embrace, and she was no longer....alone.

Fund Board Fires its Second Adviser
August 2, 1999
When it comes to selecting an investment adviser to manage the diminutive but fiercely independent Investors Research Fund of Santa Barbara, Calif., the board of directors takes its job very seriously.
Since 1994, the stand-alone broker-sold fund, which claims no ties to any bank, brokerage or mutual fund advisory firm, has had three different investment management firms and one sub-advisory firm managing its assets.
In the latest upheaval, the fund's board of directors fired Fox Asset Management of Little Silver, N.J., adviser to the fund since June 1998, and approved Westcap Investors as the new interim fund manager, effective April 1, 1999. Shareholders, by proxy, approved Westcap as the fund's new permanent adviser at a meeting July 29. Westcap, a seven-year-old, Los Angeles-based investment advisory firm, currently manages $1.4 billion, primarily for high-net-worth and institutional clients. This will be the first mutual fund it will have managed.
According to SEC filings, a reorganization this past fall within Fox, which included the departure of several key investment management employees, was one factor which led to the decision to look for a new investment adviser for the fund. Moreover, Fox, a resolute value fund manager, while it initially commanded support for its adherence to its investment style, ultimately lost its backing in an investment environment that favored growth investments, said J. Peter Skirkanich, president of Fox.
"The fund's board of directors was not satisfied with the investment performance of Fox..." said the fund's public filing. In a March 1999 letter sent on behalf of the fund to Fox, the fund president noted the fund's alarming shrinking share price and fund assets, and reminded Fox that it desired a more formal plan of action to market the fund.
But, Skirkanich said that performance was never an issue in Investors Research Fund's decision to sever the management agreement with Fox Asset Management.
"They told us our performance was good," he said. Although reorganization took place at Fox that spun off a separate marketing division from the firm's investment management unit, the internal changes had no effect on the firm's management of the fund, Skirkanich said.
"They wanted a manager who could do marketing," Skirkanich said. "Problems with marketing the fund had nothing to do with performance." Fox had agreed to do some marketing for the fund but there was no formal agreement that it would do so, Skirkanich said. Fox never did marketing for the fund because of discord over the placing of Fox executives on the fund board, according to Skirkanich.
Fox manages $2 billion for a variety of institutional and individual investors and is now the investment manager for a new series fund offering from The Timothy Plan. Fox has also been chosen to manage a Viking Series Fund beginning this month.
For long-time shareholders of Investors Research Fund, the swapping of investment managers is a case of deja` vu. In June 1998, the board hired Fox to become the fund's new manager while at the same time it was terminating the fund's advisory agreement with Lakeview Securities Corp. of Chicago, Ill. Lakeview had been serving as the fund's investment manager since January 1994. But the firm had strayed from the investment style based on a proprietary model to which it had agreed to adhere.
At the same time, the board also terminated the fund's sub-advisory agreement with Merrimac Advisors of Albuquerque, N.M., a firm founded by Fredric J. French, a former employee of Lakeview and co-portfolio manager of the fund.
The fund board made its second change in investment advisory firms within a year because of poor performance and lack of distribution, said Hugh Haferkamp, the fund's president for the past three years. Haferkamp previously was the fund's lawyer for 17 years.
While lackluster performance has definitely been at the heart of the load fund's troubles, it was also having great difficulty gaining recognition and, consequently, broker/dealer distribution, said Haferkamp.
"The two are tied together," he said. "We were losing shareholders because of performance and we (the board) decided we had to make moves." In its heyday at the start of 1994, the fund had grown to as large as $48 million, said Haferkamp. But it has since shrunk to $22 million as of June 30, he said.
The fund has performed near the bottom of its peer group over the past several years, according to Lipper, Inc. of Summit, N.J.

(Peace in the darkness)
Divided by destiny
Torn between death and doom
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb
They say hate kills the heart
burns the soul
and lashes the skin.
But what do they say of those
whose hate spawns ecstasy?
A maddening bliss
smiling through the bladed jaws that bleed the flesh ripped apart by ferine desires
Che la pace sia con voi.
Yet my peace lie in pieces
Rapture from the rupture of my pneuma
A heartbeat from the still night
Euphoria lost in heaven
and a lone pup found shivering in its place
And they say that's just the talk of the devil
That the sun smiles by the day
While the moon kisses by the night;
Clear skies mark the precipice of a clear mind
A joyful heart
Yet I say let the storm scream.
Gather his brothers,
The grey lake
The noisy spook
The rapid mute
Let him send his children upon me,
blanketing my flesh
conquering my attire.
They'll scream kamikaze upon each explosion
I shall yell revelation upon each explosion
Every bitterness of the tongue
Every burning of the eye
Every stinging of the cheek
Let the heavens hear me scream,
And let the barrage drop like meteors
Until the pits come into my periphery by way of the craters
Surround me my brothers,
The cracks
The crevices
The fissures
Even my feared companion the tidal wave shall make her appearance.
Sweep me into that still night
Drown out the noise
Crush me into those depths so black
So black that not even light cast from it can find light
And once I've reached the dirt, let the snakes latch on whilst the spiders tug
for I am inescapable.
Forever beside a shadow
Wicked grin
Leeched skin
Pale faced
And a lovely hymn.
I'll love you always
I'll love you forevermore
Your heart in my grace
No matter what life has bore
Be it a friend or a lover
A sin or a brother
A child or a mother
I'll be here like no other
All is black…All is bright
All is hell…And all is tight
As death nears
And your ribs stab at your heart
As your lungs collapse red tears
And your chains rip you apart
I'll be here
Singing as you plead
for your lord, for your savior
For the thing that is me.

PortCityDaily.com is your source for free news and information in the Wilmington area.
Forty Wilmington police officers currently strap on body cameras before their shifts begin, then get into one of 170 police cars equipped with cameras. Seventy more body cameras are on the way, but the influx of technology designed for police – and citizen – accountability has had some unintended consequences.
How does the department manage hours upon hours of footage after their officers hit record? Wilmington Chief of Police Ralph Evangelous is suggesting the city suspend further body camera purchases until they can figure how to get desk-bound sergeants now reviewing footage back on the streets to supervise officers.
Evangelous met with Wilmington City Council members during an agenda briefing Monday to talk about an additional 70 body cameras for his police officers and the impending data storage issue.
"It's becoming a huge mountain; it takes 15 terabytes just to capture this data," said Evangelous.
For those not in tune with tech language, a terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes. According to whatsabyte.com a terabyte is the equivalent to "300 hours of good quality video, or 1,000 copies of the Encyclopedia Britannica…ten terabytes could hold the entire printed collection of the Library of Congress."
"This has been a nationwide push, from the White House all the way down, and everybody's asked for it," said Councilman Charlie Rivenbark about local departments adopting body camera usage for patrol officers. "But it seems as though this [data storage] is the unintended consequence of the body cameras, and it's going to take extra money to carry this out to the end."
City council members did not state where the additional money would have to come from for data support.
While Chief Evangelous said the department still needs an additional 100 cameras to cover all of his officers, he also told city council officials not to get any more video cameras until reinforcements for monitoring footage and storing data can be added to the department.
"It is my recommendation to not get any more video cameras in the field until we can get someone who is going to manage this stuff," said Evangelous.
According to Evangelous, in order to meet standards within the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), WPD needs to randomly audit every police officer's footage, which can be over a three-month period, or 20 to 25 percent of the officer's recorded video footage per month. Currently, WPD sergeants are in charge of going through this data.
"Our sergeants are [monitoring this data], and they're not in the field supervising. Do we want our supervisors watching computer screens or do we want them out there supervising," said Evangelous. "I suggest we want them out in the field."
For Evangelous, the solution to the data storage problem would be to hire a video content manager who could sort through footage and help compress it down—with additional support from retired officers who work part-time to help monitor the video.
"We figured retired officers will know the proper conduct and proper tactics…video does us no good unless someone looks at it, for both the public and the officers," said Evangelous. "We want to be identifying good conduct, too."
Evangelous will discuss this topic again during Tuesday's city council meeting, where city officials will vote on an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to accept a grant in the amount of $45,000 from the North Carolina Governor's Crime Commission. The grant requires a $15,000 match from the City of Wilmington, which would create a total of $60,000 in funding to assist law enforcement with technology purchases. That grant would provide the police department with funding to purchase approximately 70 body cameras.
See related story: City council considers transportation plans, second vote on 'cottage' housing, extra funding for WPD.
The city council meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, September 1 at City Hall. You can view city council's full agenda here.

Adulterous minister's fall from grace not quite the end of the story New author shares his own journey from moral failure to repair and restoration.
Item Description...
LONGWOOD, FL ---Spiritual and moral failures within church leadership are epidemic today. When a minister falls, does anyone pick him back up? Does anyone even care? If you feel you are too far gone for forgiveness, believing that the ones you have wounded will never forgive you, take heart. One man's life story could be the inspirational testimony you have been searching for. Wipe your tears, gather the strength to pursue forgiveness, and discover the next journey of your life, through the mercy and grace of the Lord.
"I have come to realize that I was so caught up in the exterior theatrics of my ministry that I did not let my spiritual roots run deep enough by working and cultivating my spiritual life. The enemy came and lopped me off like a shallow weed; I went into a spiritual free fall, careening down the mountain," shares author Kenneth Walls. His first book, Falling Off the Mountain, A Minister's Fall From Grace (Sept. $12.99, 1-59781-515-2, $20.99, 1-59781-516-0), is a spiritual success story taking you through the life of this former Assemblies of God minister. After an adulterous affair in 2000, the author lost his whole family. It was through a fellow pastor, acting out of compassion and faith, that the Walls family was cared for. This pastor took them through a true time of repentance. The author can now celebrate that after nearly five years all relationships, including those with his former wife and all of his children, are now restored. God has even restored Walls in a new area of ministry.
When all seemed hopeless God found him and brought him back. After his tragic moral failure, Walls discovered what the mercy and grace of God are really all about---and he shares how the Lord helped him climb back up the mountain. Glimpse the awesome extension of God's hand of mercy. Written with vulnerability and no finger pointing toward those who hurt him in the past, the book uses Walls' personal testimony to explore helpful ideas for readers who want to work toward a solution in their marriage relationship. His hope is to provide help and healing. Walls earnestly hopes to reach out to men and women to warn them against continuing with wrong choices. This book is also meant for couples who are having marital conflicts, to speak to them before they "step off that cliff."
Kenneth R. Walls was licensed and ordained with the Assemblies of God for fifteen years until his moral failure in 2000. After coming back to the Lord he has enjoyed being a part of a great church, Living Waters fellowship led by Pastor Dale Smith. God has now matured and blessed his marriage. Ken and Kim Walls have owned Rocket Coffee Inc. since 2002. They have five children in their blended family: Kassandra, Kenny Jr., Trista, Ethan, Matthew, and their grandson Lamar. The Walls family make their home in Bremerton, Washington.
Xulon Press is the world's largest Christian publisher, with more than 2,500 titles published to date. Retailers may order Falling Off the Mountain through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors. ###

Seth's dark hair swept over his face as he ran. He sprinted so fast that he was surprised, though he had been getting used to this kind of thing. Odd things had been happening to him, and he didn't know why. He ran through the forest, dodging easily between thick trees and twisted branches. He got into a clearing, and he sat down on a large rock. He felt like he was thrumming with energy, and suddenly, bright blue sparks danced off his fingertips, and a whole circle of fire erupted around him. He shrank back, holding onto his necklace tightly. He was frightened. The noon sun poured light down into the clearing, illuminating the dancing flames brightly, as well as Seth's face. He got up, and ran to the flames. He leaped up, and somehow made it over the flames, and landed gracefully on the other side.
He ran, and fast as lightning, he was in a tree. He'd bounded up it so fast that he was like a blur. A blur of black and white…. He looked down at the circle of flames, and shut his eyes. When he opened them up again, the flames were gone, and all there was left was a circle of dead grass. These outbursts of supernaturalism had become frequent in the everyday life of Seth Corrado, and he wasn't at all sure why. He was super fast, nimble, a high-jumper… and sometimes lamps exploded or fire hydrants blew up when he walked past them.
He looked up at the New Haven sky. It was bright blue with fluffy white clouds rolling around in it. When he looked off into the distance, he could see the borderline of New Haven, and he could see the sparkling sea past that. The shimmering sea glittered like waves of luminous embers, the sun casting a golden halo over its still, calm plane, Seth thought. He'd always had a writer's mind. He shook out of his reverie, and looked down down the twenty feet to the ground, not knowing what to do. He closed his eyes, and allowed himself to slip slightly off of the branch, trusting his newfound abilities. Fear swelled around him, and the twenty feet seemed to taunt him. He finally slipped all the way off… and landed lightly as a feather onto the ground. He'd felt like he'd been hovering in the air, like a bird when they fell. They dove, and then opened their wings to slow their fall. That was how he'd felt.
Seth looked around cautiously, and then bolted out of the clearing, causing the squirrels and any other animals to dodge away from him or spin around, caught by his tremendous speed. He got out of the thick forest, and dashed back to his house, not looking back at the forest. Normally, it would have taken the average, normal person about twenty minutes to get to the forest from his house, and another to get back.
But Seth wasn't normal. He knew that much.
Blake stared at the shimmering haze that coiled around the Coke bottle that was on his sketchbook. He walked briskly over to it and looked down. The liquid was at the same level as it had been in the sketch he'd drawn before. There was even a blank spot, with no colour, in the liquid part that he hadn't finished colouring. The page below it was blank, as if he'd never drawn anything on it in the first place.
Unus quisnam est unus, came a voice in his head. The one who is the one…
Blake stared at it in shock, unsure of what to do. He bolted down the stairs and grabbed Spencer's right arm, practically dragging him up the stairs. "Hey! What's going on?" Blake gave a brief description before he almost tore off Spencer's arm, urging him up the stairs. When they got into Blake's room, the mist was beginning to fade, and Blake ran over to it, turning the Coke bottle.
"See! This is even the spot that I never finished colouring!" said Blake, gesturing impatiently. Then he remembered what had been written on the page that he'd sketched on downstairs, and became worried about that. "Wait… if what I sketched came to life, what about the angel war…" he raced out of the room again, and grabbed the page.
And saw that Whist had been looking at it, his blond hair hanging down to his shoulders. His golden eyes gleamed in the light that sifted through the kitchen window. He jumped back, startled. "You're amazing," he said. Blake ignored the compliment and explained everything—from the dream to the sketches—in about ten seconds flat. When he finished, he found he was panting.
" 'Tantum angelus es licitus habeo vox vox vel professio partum', " he quoted.
"What does that mean?" asked Blake, only understanding the word angelus which meant angel.
"It means, 'Only angels shall be permitted to wield the power of creation through art or words,'" he said. "But you… you are different."
"Okay. Understood. Sketchbook. NOW!" Blake was up the stairs before he knew it, and had somehow arrived back in his room.
"How did you…" Spencer started, but Blake put a hand up as Whist walked into the room and analyzed the Coke bottle.
"This is very peculiar indeed," said Whist. He examined the page carefully, and then the bottle. He looked for a long moment, and the Blake lifted his shirt up, and pointed at the angel rune that Rerilen had given him.
"I think it's because of the rune Rerilen gave me!" said Blake.
"That isn't his real name, by the way," said Whist. "That's his fake, mortal name. His real name is much different. It's Michael, in fact. The Angel of Miracles."
Blake didn't speak, but rather stayed quiet. He felt like he'd said the name a thousand times, like it was familiar to him, though he'd never known anyone by that name. He decided to disregard it, and pointed at the bottle. "What do you think?" he asked. Spencer looked over at him, and then back at Whist.
"I'm not sure. No rune could have done this, and neither could some ordinary person," said Whist.
"Great!" exclaimed Blake. "So we've established that I'm a freak. That I'm 'special'. I'm a sped. That's perfect. It explains why I always feel so weird!"
"Blake, you're not a sped," laughed Spencer.
"Alright, alright," said Whist. "Spencer is right Blake, you aren't a… sped. You're powerful, that's for sure. I'm not absolutely sure of what you are. You can bring things to life with artwork, you're the fastest Magus I've ever seen and… wait. There's been a case like this before. I've heard rumors about someone named Seth who's been experiencing things like this. No one knows exactly where he is, but I think he's somewhere in Connecticut."

This is the most common radiator construction used by Original Equipment Manufacturers. The tanks are plastic and the core is aluminum. Our plastic aluminum radiators are made with the most advanced vacuum brazed ovens… same as your original radiator. Our factory uses the thickest and hardest aluminum that can be most efficiently brazed. We use the highest quality plastic and aluminum to ensure top quality and efficient cooling of your car's engine.
The radiator is made with aluminum tanks and aluminum core. All hand welded together for maximum strength and durability. Our All Aluminum Performance Radiators come with heavy duty cores for maximum cooling capacity but we also have standard duty cores too. In our heavy duty cores, we mix and match tube sizes to fit the thickest possible core into the radiator headers. This maximizes the core thickness while making sure that the radiator will drop right in your car without any further modifications. We are the only ones in the industry to offer this vari-tube design for maximum cooling. You can pick and choose whatever fits your cooling needs and budget. We carry many All Aluminum Performance Radiators for your Classic Car or Muscle Car as well as for many of the performance Import Cars. This is the same cooling technology used by racing cars like Nascar.
This radiator is made with plastic tanks with a copper/brass core. The copper/brass core has a very efficient cooling capacity while the plastic tank ensures light weight. This construction method is the second oldest. It is a newer technology than the All Metal radiators but older than the Plastic Aluminum radiators.
This radiator is made with copper brass tanks and core. The tank is soldered onto the core. This construction may be heavy but offers good durability and cooling. This is the oldest of construction technology but is still preferred by many customers due to the ease of future repair.

Personal loans for less than 600 credit score with direct lenders
Lenders offering personal loans for people with very bad credit will not hesitate to come in your help. You just have to ask for it!
For more information please visit at: http://www.personalloan4badcredit.com/
In most cases, the applications of those people who have bad credit are rejected by traditional banks. The great news is that private companies are ready to finance your projects and to help you get out of debt. At the moment, there are hundreds of lenders which claim to offer personal loans for less than 600 credits.
Requirements, terms and conditions
Before you apply for a loan that's offered by a company that's specialized in offering personal loans for less than 600 credits it is recommended for you to use a calculator that can help you compute your debt-to-income ratio. Private companies which offer bad credit loans will always be interested to know details about your debt-to-income ratio. If your debt-to-income ratio is not satisfactory then you will not be allowed to get a loan. This is one of the toughest requirements that you have to fulfill if you want to borrow money from a company that's specialized in offering financial services for people with bad credit. Your monthly salary will play an important role in the process of obtaining a bad credit personal loan.
Companies which offer personal loans for less than 500 credit points have decent terms and conditions and you should not worry about this aspect. Repayment terms are very convenient because these loans were designed in such way that they work to the advantage of the borrower. Just don't forget to read the fine print before you sign the loan contract. If you have questions you should not hesitate to ask for the help of a loan officer. Online lenders are willing to clarify the situation for you. They provide their customers with free financial assistance so you will not have to pay for this service. From now on, your bad credit score will not represent an obstacle in your way to happiness anymore.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
police chase suspect into a private home is that legal?
Yes. There is an exception to the warrant requirement known as hot pursuit. This means the police are chasing a suspect. They don't have to end the chase just because they go into their house.
I am a former federal and State prosecutor and now handle criminal defense and personal injury/civil rights cases. Feel free to check out my web site and contact me at (212) 385-8015 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. The above answer is for informational purposes only and not meant as legal advice.Ask a similar question
If the police had probable cause to make an arrest and the suspect runs, they can chase him/her even into a private house without a warrant. It's called "hot pursuit".Ask a similar question
If it is a chase/hot pursuit, the police officers actions may be justified/lawful.
A lot depends on the various facts involved. You need to speak w/an attorney to go all of the issues.

There are many people/sites providing private label right (PLR) products out there.
First, lets understand what PLR means. PLR is a type of right where seller agrees to provide limited set of people (members) with unique content that can be used by them for any purpose other than explicitly selling rights of PLR products. What this means is that you can use PLR products, sell them but you can't give away rights to sell PLR products to anyone.
There are many PLR products including books, articles, and websites. PLR articles are most popular among the PLR products. I have been using PLR articles and even launched a membership for the same about a year and a half back.
The most important thing to look for when buying PLR products is the originality of the PLR products being provided. Some people mislead you and say their products are original. But you have to verify that their products are not coming from other similar PLR sites. The reason is simple. If you get same PLR articles from two sources then you end up wasting your money.
Second thing you need to check is the topics being covered in a PLR membership. Most of PLR memberships provide multiple topics each month, but they may not be related to your websites. These memberships are a waste of time and money for you.
Then you should check how old PLR membership is. If the membership is new you don't know about the life. It can end within a few months. The age also gives some indication about the quality. If someone is able to maintain members then its bound to be good enough in most cases.
Next you must check if they provide a way to get old products and if they provide old product to new member too. Both of these are very important to you as you may need access to old stuff later. If it's not available you will loose out and can't get it again.
At the same time if old products are provided to new members then they will get old products for free. This is not fair. PLR means product rights will be given to limited people. If old products are accessible to new members then you are wasting your money and should join such membership just for a month and take away all the stuff.
With all these and some other factors in mind I review PLR products. Below you can find some of the PLR products reviewed.

Best Uses
Comments about Denso Oxygen Sensor - Direct Fit:
Ordering was easy, even got to use a coupon. Problem is, this is the second time the website was wrong on what it fits.
Upside and downside. Up: I was aware of it and looked at it before I left the store and saw immediately that the cord was about 4" too short.
Down: The fact that I ordered it online and not in the store caused big problems to return and get the correct part instead. While tha actual return wasn't bad, The store loses credit for the sale and was extremely time consuming, it was not just an exchange because of the online vs store ordering.
Then, getting the correct part, you can't use the coupon in the store.
This was a very frustrating process both for me and the store manager.
To His credit though and I can't emphasize this enough, The Manager went out of his way to apologize for the situation which was out of his control (IMO) and gave me an adjusted price to equal the online discount.
I asked the manager 3 times, who can I call to fix this and he told me to mention it in my review.
Ultimately I did get the correct part but, I spent 5 minutes for the transaction online and about half an hour in the store.
I will use the online service again but Buyer Beware, check your part numbers with a second source prior to ordering.

Checked engine light was on and now its off, and engine was idling VERY rough and now is fine. I have a Cali. truck, but put a Non in, because the connections didn't match. Spent a lot of time with the Advanced guy trying to figure out what part to get. In the end everything is running well with the Non Cali O2 sensor.

Comments about Denso Oxygen Sensor - Direct Fit:
Engine Light came on, Advance read the code and we ordered the O2 sensor at the store. They had it the next morning, shipped from their warehouse. Install was a breeze as this is a flange type vs. a screw in. Soaked the bolts with PB Blaster, sold at Advance. and before re-install lubed bolts with anti-seize, from Advance. Re-set light, and it has not come back on so I'd say we ordered the correct part. Advance folks were very helpful.

Freedom From Religion
in the Bible Belt — May 2-3, 2014
Raleigh Regional Convention
Sheraton Raleigh, 421 South Salisbury St., Raleigh N.C.
View photos from the Mini-Convention here.
View Speakers Video & Transcriptions here.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation and the Triangle Freethought Society, its Raleigh-area chapter, will "win hearts and minds for reason and secularism" on the weekend of May 2-3 at the Sheraton Raleigh Hotel, 421 South Salisbury St., in downtown Raleigh, N.C.
The conference is for the convenience of Southern and East Coast FFRF'ers but all are welcome. Plan now to avoid disappointment. The convention will provide both edification and entertainment.
Phone the Raleigh Sheraton at 1-800-325-3535 by April 16 and identify yourself as an FFRF member. The rates are $129 single/double, $139 triple, $149 quad and $169 club, plus tax.
Entertainment includes Raleigh's Village Idiots, a local comedy troupe; Dan Barker; FFRF co-president, aka "The Singing Atheist," who'll entertain at the piano; a complimentary cake reception; and two group meals, including Saturday's Non-Prayer Breakfast and a drawing for "clean," pre-"In God We Trust" currency. Filmmaker Scott Burdick's 25-minute documentary "Sophia Goes to the Good News Club" will air, featuring local student Sophia Winkler, who will receive a student activist award at the event.
Confirmed speakers include:
• Randy Bender, a former Evangelical Lutheran Church of America pastor.
• Bart Ehrman, who is James A. Gray Professor, Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and writes "The Bart Ehrman Blog." He is author of numerous books including Did Jesus Exist? and Forged, which exposes deliberate forgeries in the New Testament. He graduated from Wheaton College and received both of his Masters of Divinity and Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary.
• Max Nielson, winner of FFRF's 2012 Thomas Jefferson Student Activist Award, is one of 3 plaintiffs in FFRF's lawsuit over unconstitutional graduation prayer at Irmo High School, S.C., and school board prayer. He's founded a chapter of the Secular Student Alliance at the College of Charleson. He interned last summer as social media manger of the Secular Coalition and remains a volunteer social media manager.
• Michael Nugent, founder and chair of Atheist Ireland. Michael will fly in from Dublin to give an international flavor to the conference and talk about Irish issues, as well as the growing number of blasphemy prosecutions around the world.
• Todd Stiefel, a Raleigh local, FFRF Lifetime Member and head of the Stiefel Freethought Foundation, which has sparked much freethought activism and was an integral sponsor of the Reason Rally. Todd graduated cum laude from Duke University, worked 12 years for Stiefel Laboratories and is now a full-time freethought activist. Todd's speech will be titled, "The Importance of Living Out."
• Mandisa Thomas, founder and president of Black Nonbelievers, Inc., based in Atlanta. She was featured in a recent issue of JET magazine and is a frequent guest speaker. A married mother of three, she works to encourage more blacks to come out and stand strong as nonbelievers.
• Stuart Wilson, an investigative reporter at WCNC-TV (NBC) Charlotte, who will speak on his megachurch abuse exposés.
• Sophia Winkler, student activist awardee.
• Former clergy in the Raleigh area who are now part of the Clergy Project. FFRF's Dan Barker is also administrator of the volunteer support group for clergy still in the pulpit who "have seen the light." He will emcee the panel, which will include Candace R.M. Gorham, a local chapter member who left the ministry and is the author of The Ebony Exodus Project: Why Some Black Women Are Walking Out on Religion — and Others Should Too. Matt Killingsworth, a former Pentecostal minister and Texas Bible College grad.
Other panelists and speakers will be announced as the schedule is finalized.
The mini-convention will include FFRF traditions such as a complimentary dessert reception on opening night, a Non-Prayer Breakfast, a drawing for "clean," pre-"In God We Trust" currency and entertainment at the piano by Dan, who will co-emcee the conference with Annie Laurie Gaylor of FFRF. Chapter activists will run a "Meet and Greet" social where participants can meet speakers and activists.
Formal proceedings start at 7 p.m. Friday, May 2 (dinner on your own) with registration opening up earlier. Two optional group meals will begin and end Saturday (with Saturday lunch on your own). The event will conclude by 10 p.m. Saturday. Late-afternoon workshops may be scheduled (to be announced) for Friday afternoon.
The Non-Prayer breakfast includes scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, juice, coffee and tea and pastry rolls for $20 (inclusive of 23% service and 7.75% sales tax). A vegetarian option will substitute a tomato for meat. Dinner of $40 inclusive is Chicken Saltimbocca, a chicken breast stuffed with sliced prosciutto, sage and fresh mozzarella served with penne with garlic cream sauce and sautéed asparagus.
A grilled salmon entree or a vegetarian entrée can be substituted. All include a garden salad, warm rolls with butter, sweet iced tea, Starbucks coffee and dessert, a fresh assorted berries tower with lemon zest whipped cream. Salmon and vegetarian options are gluent-free, without bread.
Registration costs
Cost to attend: $50 for FFRF members, $55 for non-FFRF spouse/companion accompanying a member, $90 for non-members (includes $40 to become FFRF member), and $5 for students.
FFRF will be visiting the West Coast for its annual convention, set for the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, Los Angeles, on the weekend of Oct. 24-25, 2014.
Future issues of Freethought Today will publish full details on both conferences.

Will 2014 Contact Pro fit on 2012 Lib Tech TRS?
Hey all, I'm going to pick up a pair of 2014 Contact Pro's after work and just saw a thread from a guy who said the Contact Pro's didn't fit on his board because his inserts weren't 2x4. but rather 4x4. Just wanted to confirm with the community that the Contact Pro's will fit on my 2012 Lib Tech TRS. Thanks for any and all responses!
It will fit.
The guy who said that his insert packs are 4x4 is a tard.
OP you'll be fine
Sent from Verticalsports.com Free App
Okay awesome. Also one more question for you guys. I'm unsure whether my boots are size 10 or 11 (which shouldn't change anything regarding the question), but I have Nike Kaiju's and I'm wondering if you think it'd be better to go with the M/L size binding, or the L/XL size. Thanks for the responses once again!
You sure it was a Bataleon Disaster? My roommate last year was a sub-rep for the brand, and all his boards were 2x4.
EDIT: Also, how do you like the Atlas'? Have you ridden on the Contact Pros at all? What would you say the primary difference is between the Atlas and Contact Pros are just based off of specs? Thanks!
