Re-imagining current games and movies as low-def 16-bit wonders has become something of an internet genre, and a cursory search on YouTube can turn up dozens of results of questionable quality. So when something as great as Tomfoolery Pictures' "Super There Will Be Blood" appears and makes us actually wish such a thing existed (on the SNES, natch), we like to give credit where credit's due.
Super There Will Be Blood from Tomfoolery Pictures on Vimeo.

Being a very well medicated person with epilepsy, I have always challenged myself (knowing that I always lose) to power through any partial seizure that dares attempt to inconvenience me. I have been on the end of various differing outcomes; for example I regularly stand having discussions with colleagues in work whilst they are totally aware that the left side of my body has switched off, and that I could fall like a felled redwood at any second. There is a coping strategy for this and many other scenarios. Quite often I can feign full lucidity for the duration of the partial, leaving them totally unaware of the battle between chaos and order that is silently dominating every movement.
I must admit, the people I work with are getting wise to my "fool proof strategies" to stay (more or less) upright. They immediately notice me stood bearing the weight on my right leg barely moving, whilst I am unsure of what is going on with my left hand side. It could be on fire and I would plough on as if all was fine an dandy. At home my other half simply has to look into my eyes, then wait for me to ask (rather oddly)if she is okay. For a split second I assume that she is also in a world of absent spacial awareness and a non responsive left hand side of the body. Apparently it is an easy mistake for me to make.
Phone calls are a big challenge, they are arguably the hardest of all. The main nemesis being the ever present office swivel chair.
I can not overstate the difficulty of holding a swivel chair in an forward facing position when the entire of your left hand side has lost its muscle tone, causing the chair to turn. This is yes, hilarious, but it is also made even more fiendishly difficult when coupled with the lack of spacial awareness that occurs with it. I have toppled chairs in the office before now, due to my insistence on holding a phone call whilst the chair is in a uncontrolled turn to the left. It resulted in me tripping on my own leg, getting tangled, then as a result pulling myself off the chair; only to finish the call as a mangled heap in the floor. It was far from a convincing outing. I couldn't even remember what the phone call was about.
However there have been some genuine wins.
It was the summer, the lads picked me up with the taxi and we headed to the pub. As we arrived I was getting the smallest hints that a partial could be happening soon. As a result I sauntered over to the bar and assumed my position, holding my weight on my right hand side poised and ready for a seizure that, in all honesty I expected it to be a no show. So as time went on with no seizure, my confidence grew and I placed some weight on both feet but held my beer in my ever steadfast right hand. This was my mistake.
Moments later the room was upside down and my left side was no longer there, it was only a matter of time before it gave way all together. So as panic set in I surveyed my options.
- Return to my right side leaning strategy and hold on for the best- the outcome would be unpredictable
- Walk the 5 feet to the nearest chair- this distance may as well be 5 miles as my leg was a complete waste of tissue at that time
- Sit on the floor- the floor was sticky, it was the smelliest but least risky of the options
I boldly chose option 1.
I stood talking with my friend, mostly able to look at him instead of the room that was flying around. Then it started to happen I began to tip. I didn't notice initially as my perception of movements wasn't working. I only noticed what was happening when I looked down at my pint. I became transfixed by it. As I was falling the beer was creeping up to the lid of the glass. So I made what consider an admirable decision. I was going to save the pint.
I focussed all my energy on looking at the beer and held it level all the way to the floor, I hit the floor with some force but I was numb, thankfully. Then holding my pint in the air like a toppled He Man I defiantly saved every drop of my pint. I laughed as my genuinely concerned and confused friends looked at me an my bizarre demonstration of where my priorities lay. Job done.
In hindsight, option 3 every time.
So for me the fact that I am certain that these partials will follow me forever, I have tasked myself with blindly ploughing on and finding a way to make sure there is a way to just get on with it. I am happy and very lucky that I have this available to, most people aren't.
Thanks for reading. Drop me a message bellow if you like, I'll get back to you ASAP.

35 ford tudor headliner
Time to do my interior and realized I made another screw up. When I put my "temporary" interior in, I thought the top wires had been cut off so I unscrewed them and tossed them. Now I find out thats how they are supposed to be. I cant find any repros or used ones, so I guess I'm gonna have to make some. I'm still not clear how they relate to the wooden bows. Anyone got any information on these?
Does the car have metal bows or wooden bows that hold the headliner up?
Both Dan, The wires are on the sides above the windows and only 8 inches or so long - thats why I thought they were cut off. I think 35 was the only year for this. I cant picture how this all works. The headliner staples to the wood bows in the middle I think. The car is a streetrod so I dont have to do anything original.
The original head liners had a sleeve built into each head liner panel. The short wires on the sides were attached to the sides of the top and the sleeve was slid over the wires on installation and the center section of the sleeve was attached to the wooden bows that were primarily installed to support the roof fabric. Upon installation, you start with the front wooden bow and work your way back, saving the front and rear surround attaching to last. You complete the installation by tucking the sides up under the retaining strips that I hope you saved (they are metal strips with griping teeth that are folded almost 180* under the strips. You can make the wire bows from some heavy wire (3/16" dia) and make your eyes or tack on a small washer.
Thank you very much - I can kind of picture it now. I remember those retaining strips - I'll see if I can find them. Dont think I tossed them (I hope). Did they staple the sleeves to the wood? Thanks
They originally would have tacked the sleeves to the wood, but staples are just fine also.
thanks very much

President Obama on Monday accused Republicans of holding "a gun at the head of the American people" by using the debt-ceiling to force spending cuts. "Even the threat of default hurts our economy," he explained.
A growing number of conservatives say this just isn't so: If we breach the debt ceiling next month, the Treasury Department could simply prioritize outstanding bond payments to avoid stiffing investors and prompting a financial meltdown. The government would have to hold off on paying for domestic programs, the argument goes, but that would be a temporary inconvenience.
"The debt ceiling does not equal default," says Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.). "We can continue to refinance the principal all the time. As long as you pay the interest, you're fine, you have plenty of money on an annualized basis."
The South Carolina Republican accused the president of using "hyperbole" to scare the American people and criticized Democrats for equating a breach of the debt-ceiling with default. "Democrats trying to expand the definition of default— if we don't open the national park service one day, that would mean default. We will not default," Mulvaney said, advising against "this crisis mentality, this 'Oh my god, the world is going to end' mentality."
The White House has long maintained that it might not be possible to prioritize payments if the debt ceiling were breached, and others have raised the possibility of legal complications, as my colleague Brad Plumer explained yesterday. But conservatives both on and off the Hill are uniting behind the argument that default is a myth, regardless of whether we breach the debt ceiling or not.
"The only way the federal government would default on its debt in the event the debt ceiling remains unchanged is for the Treasury to choose to default—an utterly implausible eventuality," wrote Heritage analyst JD Foster. He elaborated his case in a longer report: "Whether Treasury is required as a matter of law to prioritize incoming receipts to pay interest costs first is an open question, but there appears to be little doubt Treasury would do so. There is, therefore, no real question that Treasury would take the actions necessary to preserve the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and avoid defaulting on debts due."
The Cato Institute's Michael Tanner makes a similar argument in the National Review, though he acknowledges that there are still some risks and market disruption involved, even if Treasury prioritizes its interest payments as predicted. He predicts that about $500 billion in debt would mature between Feb 15. and March 1, when we're expected to hit the debt ceiling, and believes that Treasury could still pay the principal on this debt by issuing new securities.
"Theoretically, there could be a problem if no one is willing to buy the new securities," he writes, though he believes this is unlikely. "More likely is the possibility that Treasury might have to offer higher interest rates on this rolled-over debt, a not insubstantial concern: A one-percentage-point increase in interest rates could cost taxpayers more than $100 billion per year." But, ultimately, Tanner believes the economic consequences of failing to cut spending would be much greater. "None of this would be worse than a failure to take meaningful action to reduce the debt, federal spending, and the growth of government," he concludes.
The argument assumes that prioritizing bond and principal payments would be enough to ward off potentially calamitous market disruptions, and that postponing government payments to everyone other than investors would have legal standing, which analysts like Bipartisan Policy Center's Steve Bell have raised major concerns about. Democrats, for their part, have already primed their counterargument."This proposal to prioritize payments to foreign creditors over those to seniors, families, and veterans is the wrong way to go and it's an absolute nonstarter in the Senate," said Senate Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray (D-WA) told TPM.

"Nebraska offered," Gerry said in a text message. "I got the offer just about an hour ago."
Leading up to when Gerry went to Lincoln for the spring game he mentioned that Nebraska was his "dream school" and in a later interview Gerry said Nebraska was already in his top three.
On the visit to Nebraska for the spring game Gerry got an understanding about where the Nebraska staff sees him fitting in the best. Gerry says that Nebraska actually likes him as a linebacker.
"They are saying athlete still and they want to see where I could fit the best. They like me best right now as an outside linebacker because they think that I can carry some more weight and keep my speed.
"I am about 6-foot-2.5 and 206-pounds, but I am in track season. I am going to try and put some weight on over the summer. I am fine with defense and linebacker. It's only my first year on defense this past year and I moved from the secondary to defensive end to linebacker."
Gerry is now holding offers from Iowa, Montana, North Dakota State, South Dakota, South Dakota State as well as Nebraska. Big Red Report will be catching up with Gerry a little later tonight to talk more about the offer.

History@Newcastle Seminar Series presents Dr Gemma Clark
Friday, 29 August 2014, 10:00 am — Friday, 29 August 2014, 11:00 am
|Auchmuty Library Cultural Collections, Callaghan campus, University of Newcastle, Australia
|Friday, 29 August 2014
You are invited to a free public lecture by Dr Gemma Clark: Arson in modern Ireland: Fire and protest since 1800.
Presented as part of the School of Humanities and Social Science's History@Newcastle Seminar Series, Dr Clark is from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney.
Dr Clark studied History at the Queen's College, Oxford, completing her doctorate in 2011. In October 2012, she took up her current position as postdoctoral research fellow at the Global Irish Studies Centre, UNSW Australia. Her research concerns violence and protest in modern Ireland. Cambridge University Press recently published her first monograph, Everyday Violence in the Irish Civil War.
Arson in modern Ireland: Fire and protest since 1800
The act of willfully setting fire to property with the intent to cause damage is not only a serious crime. In Ireland, the UK and elsewhere, arson is also a historically recognized protest tool. My postdoctoral project examines the range of social, political and military activists who have, since 1800, utilized fire—and the threat of one's property being burned—to enforce compliance with collective demands and communicate grievances. This paper presents my research so far, exploring the role played by arson in nineteenth-century rural unrest, and incendiarism as a feature of urban and sectarian conflict, particularly in Northern Ireland. I argue that the persistence of—typically non-lethal—arson as a protest tool, in Ireland, is explained by the distinctively Irish propensity to property damage, as well as the relative scarcity of brutality in modern Ireland, compared with mainland Europe and the USA.
All welcome. You don't need to RSVP for this event.

Please consider taking some time to familiarise yourself with our current library and quality levels of popular items before resubmitting."
It is truly unfortunate since i worked so hard to create it, and what heck is their "minimum requirements for quality and/or marketplace policies"???
they should just mention what is their requirements like "add comments to html, or choose a font not too bold or check for errors"!
here is my template demo url: click here
so it would be nice you guys actually provide some feedback so that i could improve the quality of my product.

Tortured Iraqis 'systematically'
UK troops tortured Iraqis 'systematically'
Nov 6, 2010 - Lawyers of over 200 Iraqi civilians have presented the High Court in London with "credible" evidence of their "systemic" torture and abuse by British forces.
The evidence showed that British troops tortured those incarcerated in "the UK's Abu Ghraib" by denying them food and water, depriving them of sleep and exposing them to mock executions at secret facilities, including one near Basra in southeastern Iraq.
The documents also revealed that prisoners were physically and sexually abused, kept in long-term solitary confinement, forced to kneel in painful positions for up to 30 hours at a time, and subjected to electric shocks at the Basra facility run by the Joint Forces Interrogation Team (JFIT) among others.
Michael Fordham QC, for the former inmates, said, "there are credible allegations of serious, inhumane practices across a whole range of dates and facilities concerning British military detention in Iraq."
The Public Interest Lawyers (PIL), which represents the Iraqi civilians, said the torture techniques were used in all 14 British military detention centers in Iraq but the majority were reported in three facilities.
The Ministry of Defense has already admitted that British troops were involved in the torture and murder of a number of Iraqi civilians.
The murders include the case of a man who was kicked to death on board an RAF chopper, another who was shot by a soldier after being involved in a traffic incident and a teen who was pushed to his death into a river. {read rest}

Step away from the foundation and listen up!
We've got some celebrity-approved beauty tips that will change the way you get ready.
We caught up with Nina Agdal, Lily Aldridge, Kat Graham, and more celebs on the red carpet and coaxed them into sharing their go-to beauty hacks. After all, who better to share great makeup tips than the stars who always have to be camera ready?
While some of the celebs we talked to encouraged drinking plenty of water (eight glasses, we know, we know!), others lauded the benefits of dry shampoo, eye curlers, and more.
Check it out below (and feel free to take notes):
Excuse us, while we rethink our entire beauty routine. While we're at it, maybe we'll rethink our summer wardrobe too.

Backtrack3 hangs on the boot-up with a Toshiba Tecra A9-S9015.
It consistently hangs on the Triggering udev events.
If you boot into KDE and modify the boot command to include 'nohotplug' it will boot to the command prompt.
Once you log in you can execute the following commands to get into a graphical interface:
#udevd --daemon
#udevtrigger --subsystem-nomatch=pci
For some reason this doesn't always let you get into a konsole window, so you may have to reboot.
Some driver modules may have to be loaded seperately like the ath_pci module. There are some issues with the Ubiquiti PCMCIA cards with this boot method.
The offending driver is the intel-agp.ko module. If anyone knows how to rebuild the iso with make_iso.sh without it giving the error of chroot not found, let me know

Submitted to: Florida Entomological Society Annual Meeting
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 4/23/2008
Publication Date: 7/14/2008
Citation: Hunter, W.B., Shatters, R.G., Hall, D.G. 2008. Fk506-binding protein from adult Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Psyllidae)[abstract], The 91st Annual Meeting of the Florida Entomological Society. July 13-16, 2008, Jupiter Inlet, Florida. p. 11. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: We successfully identified a new member of the FK-binding proteins from the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Psyllidae). FK-binding proteins (FKBP) function in many critical pathways needed for psyllid survival. The full length mRNA transcript provides us a new genetic target for which we may be able to develop new management strategies to reduce psyllid survival. Mining the psyllid genomic data provides many new insights and products for use as insect management tools. These psyllids are vectors of the devastating disease, Huanglongbing, HLB, now affecting citrus in Florida, southern US, and in many other countries where citrus is grown. Citrus production is severely affected where HLB occurs as the yield is reduced, the fruit flavor is off, and the trees eventually die. New methods of psyllid management are needed and the importance of FK506-Binding proteins support critical biological functions thus if they can be targeted for disruption they lend themselves as genetic targets in strategies aimed at the reduction of Asian citrus psyllid populations.

Of course, smartphones are powerful gadgets and it's not something unheard of people to have heating problems on their smart handsets, and yet some folks report that their HTC ThunderBolts are regularly overheating while standing idle, which is concerning indeed.
It's claimed that swapping the stock battery with an extended one doesn't solve the problem, and the same applies to the various battery saving tips that are widely available on the web. One lad even says that he went to Verizon, received a brand new HTC ThunderBolt and the same problem occurred after a few days of use.
We didn't experience any heat-related problems during our time with the HTC ThunderBolt, but it seems this issue is real and is plaguing some units of this powerful phone. As of now no cure is available, but if you have the same problem or have managed to overcome it, share your experience with the community - it doesn't hurt to know how many people actually experience it, and who knows - we, together, may even a find a way to sort it out.

'Each network will provide technological extras. "We're going to have an airplane in the air for aerial shots, much the way we do at a Sunday night football game," Flood said. "We'll be taking high and wide shots to show the 70-plus thousand people surrounding this sheet of ice. And we'll be going down low with hand-held cameras along the glass." Sherali Najak, the executive producer of Hockey Night in Canada, said the CBC also will use additional cameras at ice level. "With the amount of space you have along the boards, you can really afford to do that," he said.'

Cam'Ron – 'Come And Talk to Me' Remix
With the release of his 'Ghetto Heaven Vol. 1′ mixtape just hours away, Cam'Ron decided to give fans a preview of what the project has to offer by dropping his 'Come and Talk to Me Remix.'
A clear sample of Jodeci's 1991 hit, 'Come & Talk to Me,' Cam'ron responds to Jay-Z's 'Pound Cake' verse while rapping to a chick about getting on his team.
"I had a mill before I met him baby, that ain't no lie/He named some Harlem cats and the homie from the Chi/But my thing: he ain't name nobody from the Stuy/And I do it like Bed Stuy, do or die/But let's talk about somethin' else, you and I."
As Killa Cam's first verse wraps, the '90s R&B group comes on in the hook singing, "come and talk to me, I really wanna meet you…" Lyrically witty, the Dipset MC delivers a dope flow while taking shots at the heavy weights on top.

Nag Panchami 2017- An Occasion to Pacify Kalsarp Yoga
Nag Panchami is celebrated on Panchami of Shukla Paksh in Sharavan Masa. This year, the festival will be celebrated on 27th July, festival is celebrated with faith and fervor. On this day, worshiping Lord Shiva, the holder of serpent, is considered auspicious.
Significance of Nag Panchami
According to the astrology, the God of fifth date is Snake. As, Naag Panchami is celebrated in Sharav Maas, hence, no digging of earth is done in this month. On the day of Naag Panchami, ploughing of field, digging of foundation is not good. Because, habitat of snake is considered to be beneath the earth. Digging of land can hurt the Snake God.
Procedure of Fasting on Nag Panchami
At many places of nation, Naag Panchami is also celebrated on Panchami Tithti of Krishan Paksha. On the day of Naag Panchami, fast is kept in order to make God Snake happy. In this fast, after the sunset and whole day fasting, Kheer is prepared as an offering for Gos snake while worshiping it. First of all the Kheer is offered to God snake or to Lord Shiva, and then eaten as Prashad (offering from God), by everyone. In this fast, intake of salt and fried things is prohibited. The person keeping the fast should follow all the rules.
Nag Panchami Celebration in South India
In southern India, on the day of Naag Panchami of Shravan Shukla, pure oil is used for bathing. Here, the unmarried girls keep fast and wish to have their dream man.
Custom of Consuming Stale Food on Nag Panchami
On the day of Naag Panchami, only the food to be used in worshiping is prepared. Rest of the food is prepared a day before. The family members who don't keep fast on this day are also given stale food for eating. Well, Kheer, rice, Sewayia are made today as fresh food items in homes.
Worship of Idol of Snake God at the Main Entrance
On the day of Naag Panchami, people keeping fast, make a sculpture of snake with cow dunk, having five heads, on both side of house's threshold. Red soil can also be used if, in case cow dung is not available. After this, Snake God is worshiped with milk, grass, Kusha, sandalwood,Akshat(rice used in worshiping),flower, sweet(Ladoo) and Naag source or following Naag mantras are chanted
" ऊँ कुरुकुल्ये हुँ फट स्वाहा"
Chanting this mantra rosary, three times, pleases the snake God. The fregnancel of sandalwood is especially dear to Serpent God. Hence, sandalwood should be used while worshiping. White lotus is used in today's prayer. Chanting of the Above mentioned mantras, reduces the inauspicious effect of Kalsarp Yoga that is, the pacification of KaalSarp Yoga.
Worship of Goddess Mansa
In the northern India, there is a procedure of worshiping Goddess Mansa on Naag Panchami of Sharavan Maas. Goddess mansa is considered as the Goddess(Devi) of serpents. So, in Bengal, Orissa, and other states, the act of worshiping Mansa Devi is performed.
Pacification of Kalsarp Yoga
On the day of 1st August 2017, Shukal Paksh, Sharavan Maas,people who's Kundali have KaalSarp Yoga, should keep fast and offer worshiping as mentioned above for the sake of pacification of KaalSarp Yoga.
What not to do on Nag Panchami
On the day of Naag Panchami, Snake God should not be fed with milk. Worshipers, if desire can make the Shiva Linga have a milk bath. Knowing that, drinking of milk can kill a snake, in such a situation feeding them with milk is like killing your God with your hands. Hence, avoid this mistake. So, be save from killing of living beings on this festival of faith and confidence.

Cold Weather Also Stressful for Coastal Sea Turtles
Cold Weather Has Sea Turtles in Shock Too Like people, too cold and sea turtles get hypothermia ==============================
South Padre's Laguna Madre's water temperatures are dropping into the 50s which is just too cold for sea turtles.
Sea tTurtle Inc's Jeff George says sea turtles are washing
ashore sick.
"Cold water pushes them into hypothermia because they are cold blooded and their body temperature gets so cold so they float to the surface and cannot swim."
Neither can they breathe, unable to lift their heads.
Fortunately, volunteers are bringing them into shelters, not to immerse them in hot water, too shocking, but to lay on mats inside to slowly warm up.
"The worst thing to do is put them in hot water.
It will shock them. They're put on mats
until their body temperature is gradually brought back up."
George says they won't release
them back into the sea yet.
That also has to warm up a bit too.

Declaration of War (it's time to Sacrifice)
This is a message to a non white entity from the future. Prepare your soldiers for combat. The white boy is not going to man up. There is an increase in activity where i live which is no different from last year yet they are letting me know they are going to carry out a Genocidal Program to kill off Indians and blacks. I will not tolerate it. I can tell just from my website and email, what them whites are planning. Have your police follow police here in Great Falls, Montana. That be from the establishment of Great Falls, Montana Police Department in 1888, to well into the future from this time i live in. They can do what they want to them and their extended family lines. I suspect there are either government agents here where i live or agents from a future time. Have your soldiers (not police) follow them. They can do what they want to them and their extended family lines. Whoever is responsble for this increased activity will be held accountable. They could be from the future or from this time. I'm aware of what preordained means. Instruct your soldiers to wage war on those who are responsible and also wage war on their extended family lines. I have been promoting the Rocky Boy Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana throughout my website and i know some entity is intruding. Do not allow any person or persons or entity or entities, who are a part of this conspiracy to kill off Indians and blacks, to live again. That's law. Genocide is very serious. It's obvious the white boy does not want to man up. I can tell you right off that white leaders from the future are far more determined to kill off Indians and blacks. They may be responsible. We are nothing to the future. The future thinks we are puppets. Those white leaders from the future, will kill any white leaders from this time who give in. It is important to wage war on them. We have no choice. They have power over this era. They can force their will to achieve what is important. Indian leaders are in a serious predicament. However, the future can pull strings for my goal of gaining Tribal Recognition at numerous Indian Reservations, for the Rocky Boy Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana.
I will continue to try and gain Tribal recognition for the Rocky Boy Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana, at numerous Reservations. I have done a great deal of research the last few months and from evidence i have discovered, chief Rocky Boy was set aside many Reservations in the United States, Canada and possibly Dominica and Puerto Rico. It deals with the infamous 10˘ an Acre Treaty which was ratified in April of 1904. Many forest Reserves were set aside ajacent to Indian Reservations for chief Rocky Boy who agreed to accept the infamous 10˘ an Acre Treaty for those Ojibway's who continued to refuse to recognize the infamous 10˘ an Acre Treaty. In Montana, Little Belt Forest Reserve or Black Hills Indian Reservation (thus the reason for why so many Ojibway's were in Helena in 1909), was set aside on August 16, 1902, as was Madison Forest Reserve or Black Hills Indian Reservation. Madison Forest Reserve is located south and west of Anaconda and Butte. During those times 1900-1908, a rather large Ojibway population lived there. Madison Forest Reserve was obviously a part of Lemhi Shoshone Reservation or added to Lemhi Shoshone Reservation. Flathead Forest Reserve or Black Hills Indian Reservation, was enlarged in 1903. I know from old newspaper articles many Ojibway's were living there years before 1903. Chief Rocky Boy led many there in 1902. Highwood Mountains Forest Reserve or Black Hills Indian Reservation, was set aside on January 1, 1903. Minnesota Forest Reserve which is known today as Chippewa National Forest, was set aside in June of 1902 for Montana Ojibway's led by chief Rocky Boy. Many other Montana Ojibway's were Deported to White Earth Reservation in late 1902. White historians are liars. On January 17, 1903 Luquillo Forest Reserve was set aside in Puerto Rico. I suspect it was set aside for Montana Ojibway's. In 1903, Carib Territory was set aside in Dominica. I suspect it was set aside for Montana Ojibway's. There may be at least 16 locations where land was set aside for Montana Ojibway's led by chief Rocky Boy, between March of 1902 and April of 1904. In Canada, land was set aside for Montana Ojibway's led by chief Rocky Boy, between 1902 and 1904. I must do more research to find those Reserves. In early 1902, chief Rocky Boy commenced a campaign to have new Ojibway Reservations set aside. It dealt with the infamous 10˘ an Acre Treaty which was ratified in April of 1904. Per treaty agreements with chief Rocky Boy, American leaders agreed to set aside new Reservations. Most were forests added to existing Reservations. I will also continue to try and gain Federal Recognition for the Rocky Boy Tribe of Chippewa Indians here in Great Falls with a Reservation adjacent to Great Falls.
Koyukon Indians
Loucheaux Subgroup (aka Barren Ground Chipewyan)
They include:
Gwich'in (aka Kutchin and the Loucheaux)
Upper Tanana
Northern Tutchone
Mentasta dialect of Ahtna
Upper Kuskokwim
Deg Xinag
The Northern Saulteaux
They are directly descended from the Chipewyan Hare Indians. They came up from the southeast at some distant date in the past. According to the Edinburgh Encyclopedia, a group of Lenni Lenape was sent to the southern shores of Hudson Bay then to the region of the Barren Grounds which includes northern Alaska. They are known as the Chipewyan. They met a people who claimed to have migrated to the McKenzie River Delta region, from a westward location which had no winters and had an animal with human facial features. In the Edinburgh Encyclopedia, they reported the people to also be Lenni Lenape. However, the Eskimo and Gwich'in or Loucheaux, spoke almost identical languages which means that information was corrupted. We must exclude the Gwich'in or Loucheaux who were not subjugated by the Chippewa's. They do not speak Dene or Algonquin. It is clearly written in the Edinburgh Encyclopedia that the Dene or Athabascans, speak Algonquin. Those Loucheaux who were subjugated by the Chippewa's were absorbed by them.
Gwich'in people are known historically to have been closely related to the Eskimo. They are also known as the Loucheaux. According to the 1832 Edinburgh Encyclopedia, the Gwich'in spoke a language almost identical to the Eskimos. It means they are foreign. Unlike the Eskimos, many of the Gwich'in were subjugated by the Chippewa military. Those who escaped Chippewa subjugation stayed very close to other Eskimo people between what is now Inuvik, Northwest Territories and Kugluktuk, Nunavut or the Beaufort Sea. Every summer white ships sailed to the region between Inuvik and Kugluktuk and supplied the Eskimos and Gwich'in with cannons, guns, and food. This intensified after an overland route between Kugluktuk and what is now Baker Lake, Nunavut was discovered in the 1760s or 1770s. White leaders learned from the Chippewa's or Chipewyan, that a river from Baker Lake led all the way to what is now Bathurst Inlet, Nunavut. They established some sort of supply line in the Bathurst Inlet region where the Eskimos and Loucheaux were supplied with cannons, guns, and food every summer. This probably happened during the 1770s.
With an ever increasing amount of cannons and guns, the Eskimos and Gwich'in fought their way from Bathurst Inlet to Baker Lake then to the area where Chesterfield Inlet is now. Chesterfield Inlet is located along the northwestern shores of Hudson Bay. Later on, Hudson Bay Company established a post or fort at Chesterfield Inlet. Though Chesterfield Inlet was an important location, Churchill was far more important. White leaders knew they could not only supply the Eskimos and Gwich'in with cannons, guns, and food by using the Bering Sea to sail to the region between Inuvik and Bathurst Inlet, they also knew they could bring in 1,000s of Eskimos and Gwich'in to the Churchill region using the overland route between Bathurst Inlet and Chesterfield Inlet.
Chippewa military leaders were aware of what was transpiring and intensified their military campaigns between Bathurst Inlet and Chesterfield Inlet. However, the Eskimos and Gwich'in successfully established themselves in the Chesterfield Inlet region. From there, they were shipped down to Churchill then to York Factory. They used both locations to invade northern Manitoba and northern Saskatchewan. Using Churchill River, they sailed to Reindeer Lake then south to where Hudson Bay Company established a fort at Cumberland house, Saskatchewan in 1774. From York Factory, they sailed the Nelson River to the interior of Manitoba. Most likely they used the Churchill River more often at first but after the 1780-1782 cowardly acts of the whites, the Indian population had been dramatically reduced. Nelson River became their prime route to the Saskatchewan region after 1782. In 1800, Hudson Bay Company became aware of a Chippewa fort located in southwestern Saskatchewan.
Peter Fidler, who worked for Hudson Bay Company, established a post or fort at Chesterfield House, Saskatchewan that same year (1800). Estuary, Saskatchewan was later built near Chesterfield House. Chesterfield House was 132 miles north of Montana. After the fort was built, they sent in 100s of Eskimo and Gwich'in soldiers to fight the Chippewa's of the Alberta, Montana, North Dakota, and Saskatchewan region. The war has been fabricated by white historians to have been a war between the Algonquin Blackfoot Confederacy and the Algonquin Cree which is incorrect. No Algonquin's who knew about the Seven Fires Prophecy, would fight each other. They knew better. In 1803, Hudson Bay Company built Chiswick House in the Northwest Territories which was located near Fort Resolution.
Using the Reindeer Lake region, they sent 100s of Eskimo and Loucheaux soldiers to the area south of Great Slave Lake and north of Lake Athabasca, from the Reindeer Lake region. A war which had been ongoing for more than 50 years was now intensifying. It was a war about the Northwest Passage. White goals were to halt contact between the North American Chippewa's and Siberian Chippewa's and destroy the Chippewa capitol at the Great Falls of the Missouri in Montana. Years before Lewis and Clark visited Montana in 1805, other whites had already been to Montana. That includes the Great Falls of the Missouri River.
An example of how the Eskimo and Loucheaux population increased between 1800 and 1856, between Inuvik and Estuary, was recorded by Hudson Bay Company. Their (Hudson Bay Company) McKenzie River District (located in what is now the Northwest Territories) had an estimated population of 10,430 in 1856. Their (Hudson Bay Company) Saskatchewan District had an estimated population of 28,050 in 1856. Hudson Bay Company's Saskatchewan District covered southern Alberta and the western part of southern Saskatchewan or the plains. It was reported that the population of Saskatchewan District was decreasing which means the whites and their Asian allies were losing the war by 1856. They also reported that the population of the Indians who lived in the forests was increasing.
Chippewa leaders knew the whites were exchanging bottles of the hard drink which contained poison and always did instruct their people to stay away from the white forts and trading posts. They only visited the trading posts once or twice a year. However, they could not prevent all of their subjects from doing business at the trade posts. Eskimo and Loucheaux people almost always tended to set up their camps very close to the white forts and trading posts. Thus, the whites could actually give almost accurate population estmates of the Asians. The Chippewa population was much higher. Though their population was decimated in the late 18th century, the Chippewa population had increased dramatically in the Alberta, Montana, Northwest Territories, North Dakota, and Saskatchewan region by 1856 as a result of a migration of the Great Lakes Chippewa's to the west. That is why they eventually brought the Eskimos and the Loucheaux out of the conflict. They eventually absorbed them after the whites knifed them in the back. By the 1860s, the whites no longer needed the military support of the Eskimos and the Loucheaux.
So the Loucheaux, who are the northern most Saulteaux, are really an admixture of Algonquin and Eskimo, especially in Alaska, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. Our focus is on non Eskimos who speak Dene or Athabascan. We know from the Edinburgh Encyclopedia that the Dene people or Athabascans's, are Algonquin. Later in the 19th century, white historians made a blunder by classifying the Dene or Athabascan's as being of a distinct language family. However, the Dene or Athabascan people are Algonquin. And don't even speculate that the Lenni Lenape came from Asia. It's the other way around. There is a reason why they have now commenced a new language family known as the Dene-Yeniseian Language Family. The Yeniseian people live in Siberia.
The Beaver
They are classified as being Northwestern Canada Athabascan Language which includes Chipewyan. They live in northeastern British Columbia, northwestern Alberta, and southwestern Northwest Territories. Though they live some distance from the northern most Saulteaux, they must be included as being a part of the Chipewyan who are the northern most Saulteaux. They are not one of the two tribes who claimed to have lived to the west where no winters existed and an animal with human facial features lived. Those two tribes are the Eskimo and Gwich'in.

The Carrier including Babine, Chilcotin, Dakelh, Nicola, Tsetsaut (not certain), and Wet'suwet'en
Today, the Carrier Indians live in British Columbia but before the whites invaded they probably lived in central and southern Alberta and central and southern Saskatchewan. They are not Chipewyan but are among the oldest of the western Algonquin's. They are possibly related to the Lenni Lenape who lived in the Alberta, Montana, and Wyoming region before migrating east to fight the white invaders. The Babine Tribe is included as Carrier.

The Chippewan (Chipewyan)
Originally, the Chippewan lived in central and northern Manitoba and parts of what are now the eastern portion of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, north of the Manitoba border. However, according to the 1832 Edinburgh Encyclopedia, they lived southeast of the Great Lakes and are Lenni Lenape. They are really Anishinabe. They migrated to the location just south of Hudson Bay then to the Northwest Territories including Nunavut, then into northern Alaska. Most of their district is now termed the Barren Grounds. The Chipewyan Akaitcho Territory covers 185,329 sq. mi. or 480,000 sq. km. Included as being Chipewyan are the Beaver, Copper Indians (the Yellowknifes), Dogrib (Tlicho), and Sahtu or Slavey who are also known as the Hare Indians (they are the northern most Saulteaux). The Hare Indians include the Deg Hit'an, Gwich'in Dene, Han, Holikachuk, Kaska, Koyukon, Kuskokwim, Sekani, Tagish, Tahltan, Tanana, and Tuchone. Chipewyan communities are as follows.

The Dogrib
They are Chipewyan. They are not one of the two tribes who claimed to have migrated from the west where no winters existed and an animal with human facial features lived. Those two tribes are the Eskimo and Gwich'in. The Dogrib people (Tlicho people) have a territory of 15,100 sq. mi. or 39,000 sq. km. Their nation is located between Great Bear Lake and Great Slave Lake.
The Slavey or Sahtu (Hare Indians)
They are the northern most Saulteaux. Their territory is the northern most territory of the northern most Saulteaux. It is located east and north of Great Bear Lake and includes northern Yukon and northern Alaska. The Gwich'in or Loucheaux Dene, are really Hare Indians who absorbed many of the invading Eskimo and Gwich'in. The northern most Saulteaux have a territory in the Northwest Territories which covers 15,999 sq. mi. or 41,437 sq. km. However, the Gwich'in Dene are also a part of the northern most Saulteaux and their territory must be included as a part of the Sahtu Territory. When including the Gwich'in Territory it covers 37,982 sq. mi. or 98,372 sq. km. When including the other Chipewyan Districts, the total size of the Sahtu (northern most Saulteaux) Nation is 321,411 sq. mi. or 832,411 sq. km. Do not recognize any land agreement which reduces the territory of the Gwich'in Dene, between the Gwich'in Dene and Canada and the United States. It is illegal.
The Tsuu T'ina
They are Blackfoot or a part of the Blackfoot Confederacy. They lived in southern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan. They possibly lived in Montana also. They were constantly at war against the invading Eskimos during the 18th and much of the 19th centuries. They were forced to lease much of their land to Canada for military reasons, between 1910 and 1996. Many Chippewa's from Montana were probably forced to live at the Tsuu T'ina Reserve in 1910. A hint, the Tsuu T'ina land that was leased was leased to the Montana Chippewa's. In 1910, 100s of Chippewa's fled from the Blackfeet Reservation of Montana. The Tsuu T'ina and the other Blackfoots, absorbed many of the Eskimos and Loucheaux, after the whites knifed them in the back. Thus, the reason for white historians claiming the Tsuu T'ina originally lived to the north and were from the Beaver Indian Tribe.
Size of their nation is 109 sq. mi. or 283 sq. km.
Their population is 1,982
Gwich'in and Han
There are two different Gwich'in and Han people. One are made up of Algonquin's and Eskimos, while the other is Eskimo. Those who are Eskimo are one of the two tribes who claimed they lived to the west where no winters existed and an animal with human facial features lived. The Gwich'in and Han live in Alaska, the Northwest Territories, and the Yukon in Canada. In the 1992 Gwich'in Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement, the Gwich'in were left with 21,983 sq. mi. or 56,935 sq. km. in the Northwest Territories. Part of that land is located in the Yukon. White historians made a mistake by first classifying the Gwich'in or Loucheaux, as being Eskimo then later classified them as Athabascan or Dene. Since their territory is adjacent to that of the northern most Saulteaux, it means they are the northern most Saulteaux. There are currently 9,000 Gwich'in. In Alaska, the Gwich'in live in the towns of Arctic Village, Beaver, Birch Creek, Chalkyitsik, Circle, Fort Yukon, and Venetie. You would think the weather is cold year round at those villages but they have warm summers. For an example, at Chalkyitsik which is north of Fairbanks (Chalkyitsik is at 66 degrees north latitude while Fairbanks is at 64 degrees north latitude), it is warmer in the summer. The average summer highs in Chalkyitsik are for June, July and August a balmy 71.5, 73.1 and 68.5. Most people think Alaska does not get too hot in the summer but they are obviously wrong.
Ahtna and Tanaina
Native to the State of Alaska, the Ahtna and Tanaina people probably lived further towards the east. Some Ahtna are more closely related to the Gwich'in Dene. At the present time the Ahtna Indians of Alaska have 1,770,000 acres or 2,766 sq. mi. or 7,154 sq. km. of land. Their population is around 1,200.
Koyukon including the Deg Hit'an and Holikachuk
They are a part of the northern most Saulteaux. Gwich'in and Han are classified as being Central Alaska-Yukon Athabascan Language. These Athabascan people live in the interior of Alaska and are probably members of the Alaska Native Corporation. All may be affiliated with the Doyon region of the Alaska Native Corporation. The tribes which make up Doyon, have a total land area of 12.5 million acres or 18,750 sq. mi. or 48,562 sq. km.
Tahltan including the Kaska and Tagish
They are classified as being Northwestern Canada Athabascan Language which includes Chipewyan. They are an extension of the northern most Saulteaux. These Athabascan people live in British Columbia and the Yukon in Canada. Their population is around 5,000.
Tanana including the Kuskokwim and Tuchone
They are a part of the northern most Saulteaux. Their language is classified as being Central Alaska-Yukon Athabascan. These Athabascan people live in the interior of Alaska and are probably members of the Alaska Native Corporation. All may be affiliated with the Doyon region of the Alaska Native Corporation. The tribes which make up Doyon, have total land area of 12.5 million acres or 18,750 sq. mi. or 48,562 sq. km.

Gaming Windows Tablets
Is that an oxymoron? :)
Anyway i have been buying lot of games on gog.com and few old/indie games via all the bundle sales. I am wondering if the new windows tablets will be any good at playing them? I am not talking bleeding edge graphics games but say 4+ year old games like jade empire, kult, BG2, divine divinity etc. Maybe some new indi games like Legend of Grimrock, Fallen Enchantress etc.
Most tablets seems to come with Intel atom cpu. How good is it? There are some top end tablets with dual core i5 cpu as well. I guess the i5 should be good enough?
Most of the tablets don't seem to have good graphic chip. I think they come with Intel integrate graphic chip. Not sure if its any good.
Anyway ignoring the shortcomings of touch interface, can the new windows tablets be used for gaming?
The Intel HD 4000 and HD5000 integrated graphics chips do reasonably well playing games compared to earlier integrated chips. To the point where simply assuming all integrated chips are worse than all discrete chips is no longer valid.
I'm guessing the Surface Pro 2 should handle those games with relative ease, though I'm not sure.
Yeah the Surface Pro 2 would be my bet as well. It's on my list of things to buy if I ever get enough money.
Surface Pro 2 looks goods but the cheapest in UK is £719 but that's the 64GB version and I would guess windows taking around 32Gb for itself, one would ideally needs 128GB version which is about £800.
It looks like 3rd party vendors are also making windows tablets so hopefully the prices will come down soon.
It's tempting, but I think I'll wait a generation or two before diving in.
It will be interesting to see what happens to Apple and Android tablets once "proper" windows tablets comes down in price. Its pretty much a PC with all the software apple and android can dream off. I just wished Microsoft never did the windows rt and subsidised "proper" windows tablets…
But they're just toys to me, really.
What cheaper, smaller and faster ultrabook would you suggest as an alternative?
In terms of size I guess it depends on your usage - if you plan to use a keyboard, realize that the effective footprint of the Surface Pro 2 suddenly becomes the same as a 15" laptop because of how the setup works.
I would suggest the Lenovo Yoga Pro - it is slightly bigger overall, but with better keyboard, screen, cheaper (after adding keyboard to Surface) and people I have talked to who have used both say there is no comparison.
But again - it is all based on what you plan to use it for.
But it's not exactly a high priority right now.
As for the keyboard, I tested a small one at the shop and it seemed quite fine for my needs. I don't intend to type a lot - and I have no idea why I'd want a big keyboard, as I'm not going to use it as a primary gaming machine. Then again, I have several keyboards lying around - and I could always use one of them, if I decided a small keyboard was not comfortable enough, though I don't see any issue. I would never use it for serious "immersive" gaming, but rather for adventures and old-school strategy games and RPGs.
A small keyboard would serve my needs in 99% of the cases - and I wouldn't need to carry around a big one when I'm on the go.
But I'll check out the Yoga pro - but I'm not really seeing the advantage as it's bigger. Then again, I don't intend to buy one right now.
I got a Dell Latitude 10 tablet w/ Pro version of windows 8 last year. I tried lots of old games from GOG and a few newer indie games (Avadon: the Black fortress for one). It runs most of the games fine, but the touch screen is useless to play on. The re-scaling of the older graphics resolution means the hot areas for the buttons are not the same as where they are visible on the screen. I really wanted to play Lands of Lore 1 without a keyboard/mouse while on vacation, but I ended up needing them anyway. Something to consider is the price of the table and need to carry a keyboard around anyway, verses the price and performance of a laptop.
I hope this helps,
PS> I still love the table, and I used it all over Wash. DC to take pictures and post them online while still seeing the sites.
My main aim for getting a tablet is to play games in my bed without using a keyboard and a mouse. Yes I know I am lazy!
I have to think twice then if you actually need mouse and keyboard to play the old games….
I bought a Nexus 7 recently and I was surprised by the number of really good games available for it. Not a whole bunch of CRPG's yet, but across all genres, there are many excellent games available. Tablet gaming, by nature of the touch screen, offers a different type of gaming than the PC. It's not a replacement for a desktop or even a laptop. It just offers a different gaming experience. Like someone else said, it's nice to be able go online, read an ebook or play a game while in bed or on the couch. That's not really all that pleasant with a laptop, no matter how small.
I would question how well a game like Jade Empire or Divine Divinity would play on a tablet even if you could get it to run, unless it was modified specifically for touch screen gameplay. FWIW, the Baldur's Gate remake games are going to be released soon on Android and iOS., so there does seem to be a trend toward making older CRPG's specifically modified for touchscreen devices. I'm currently playing Shadowrun Returns and have also started Call of Cthulhu Wasted Lands as well as Questlord, 9th Dawn, Heroes of Steel and Pocket RPG to name a few good ones.
If you're into tablet gaming, I would consider the Nvidia Shield - because it can supposedly stream most PC games with minimal lag to the handheld. It works more or less like the OnLive tech - and you can use a controller for most modern PC games.
I'm getting one myself when it arrives in Denmark.
The long answer is: you'll be able to get some older games running, sure, but you'll be paying the maximum possible price to do so while receiving zero benefits from having a tablet. I wouldn't even recommend a gaming laptop if you're serious about quality and performance.
They're not gaming devices and were never designed with gamers in mind.
I would ignore SirJames in this case.
SP2 would be more than sufficient for a game like Fallen Enchantress in terms of performance. It's turn based - and I bet it would run reasonably smooth on medium settings. However, I don't know about general compatibility - and I wouldn't be surprised if the default touch-screen/DPI setup could cause issues in certain games. But that should be fixable with some tweaking.
Just be sure to use a mouse and not the touch screen ;)
Here are the minimum requirements for Fallen Enchantress:
The Surface Pro 2 features a "1.6 GHz fourth generation Intel Core i5-4200U processor". According to Intel, this is a 2 core CPU with 3mb cashe ~1.6GHz. Right away we see that the awful i5-4200U is under the minimum CPU requirement. http://ark.intel.com/products/75459/
Fun facts!Did you know my 4 year old desktop CPU has 4 cores and 8MB cashe at ~3.5GHz, which makes the 4200u "low tech" even by 4 year old standards?
The Surface Pro 2 features Intels HD graphics 4400 with uses 200MHz from your 1.6GHz dual core as its GPU. In other words, it has no dedicated graphics card at all! Not recommended for gaming in 2013!
So, lets see how the SP2 performs in a few benchmarks!
Here http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?….60GHz&id=1947 we see, while horrible value money: performance wise, the 4200u actually manages to perform around about as well as a first generation core2duo underclocked by 1GHz, making it pretty decent 7 years ago, but still awful today. It might be able to rival a modern mobile phone, but I wouldn't bet on it.
And here http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gp…D+4400&id=2643 we see the HD 4400 graphics "solution" score absolutely dismally. Let's all take a moment to laugh at this benchmark.
In conclusion, I'd like to say it's been proven that
a) SP2 is not suitable for gaming and shows no sign gaming was even considered for it. You should be able to run your Facebook apps on it just fine, however.
b) SP2 does not meet the minimum requirements for Fallen Enchantress and is therefore not suitable for playing it.
c) DA is in love with me.
As I said, it will be more than sufficient for Fallen Enchantress - barring any weird compatibility issues.
Obviously, you have to care more about reality than irrelevant benchmarks and imprecise sys. requirements.
If we were to care about those - here's an article detailing how the SP2 can run games like Portal 2, LoL, Diablo 3 and SC2 at medium-high settings with good frame rates.
It can even run something like Bioshock Infinite - though you'll have to use low settings:
For kicks, here's the D3 requirements:
As you can see, it has higher demands than FE. Needs higher clocked dual core cards (dual core 2.2 vs 2.8), and better graphics cards (Gefore 6800 vs 7800).
But I don't care about articles - as I rely on my experience for this sort of thing. I've played both Elemental and Fallen Enchantress on inferior hardware - and they're both just fine. Not exactly high performance - but more than adequate. My Mx11 Alienware Laptop, for instance, played FE just recently with reasonable frame rates - and it's VERY close to SP2 in terms of performance if we look at benchmarks.
Meaning, I actually know what I'm talking about.
No, SP2 isn't a gaming machine - but it's fine for a lot of games if you accept the inherent limitations of a tablet platform.
TXA will back that up here, as he's a great fan of the Intel HD 4000 series for gaming.
I guess we know what value we should attribute "proof" provided by SirJames :)

British comedy troupe Monty Python are the all-time kings of irreverence, and Holy Grai l is without a doubt their crowning achievement. An oddball send-up of the legend of King Arthur, this nutty historical farce is equipped with all of Python's best traits: intelligent satire, pointless asides (usually animated and always great), gleeful nihilism (the limb-severing Black Knight fight), and multiple and sometimes unrecognizable performances from each Python member.
Their brand of comedy-first popularized on their game-changing sketch show Monty Python's Flying Circus-is a bit too cerebral for some, but not us. Not only does Holy Grail split our sides whenever it's on, it also makes us feel rather cultured and brainy. We'll take what we can get.
