Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Hi! I'll be glad to be of help with this issue.
I can imagine how confusing this situation must be for you. Men and women use language often in very different ways. In fact, there's a wonderful book called The 5 Love Languages that is a real classic. You'll see on Amazon that almost a thousand people have commented how wonderful it is. It isn't really about language between men and women, but it does touch on it. The book that really deals with the different use of language is Men are from Mars Women are from Venus. It's a real classic that's about 40 years old by now or close.
My point to you is that I can understand why you might be left confused by what he said. But in the language of men, as much as the actual words he uses, we need to consider whether he acts in accordance with his words. Because what he says is really very sweet IF his behavior is indeed loving. See how it works with men?
He said I love you. That is beautiful and capped off a whimsical statement. But it's only beautiful if he acts in a loving way. From what you write, I have a feeling he is a loving boyfriend. You've been together for 3 years and he says he feels he now understands you. That's a lot for a man to admit.
So, again, when it comes to what a man says, you have to see if his actions match his words. If they do, then you enjoy it and feel good: he affirmed his love for you. That's great.
Okay, I wish you the very best!
My goal is for you to feel like you've gotten Great Service from me and the site. If we need to continue the discussion for that to happen, then please feel free to reply and we'll continue working on this. If the answer has given you the help you need, please remember to give a rating of 5 (Great Service) or 4 (Informative and helpful), or even 3 (Got the job done) button. This will make sure that I am credited for the answer and you are not charged anything more than the deposit you already made by pressing any of these buttons. Bonuses are always appreciated! If I can be of further help with any issue now or in the future, just put "For Dr. Mark" in the front of your new question, and I'll be the one to answer it. All the best, XXXXX XXXXX

Recent queries over the near-term direction of mineral sands demand and prices aren't a huge concern to
Although Sheffield has a suite of mineral sands projects in various stages of development in Western Australia, it won't be until 2015 or so that the company will need to raise the capital to bring them into production.
And by that stage, McQuitty, who ran Pilbara iron ore explorer
In the meantime, he thinks there's plenty more value to be realised through exploration, particularly at Sheffield's Dampier project in WA's north west, which is shaping as its flagship.
Sheffield is aiming to release a maiden resource for Dampier, a project that was dropped by
Based on eight holes drilled by Rio, Sheffield has put an exploration target of 450-850 million tonnes on the central portion of the Thunderbird prospect at Dampier, which the company announced as a discovery this week.
Hartleys, which has raised money for Sheffield, estimates that if 450 million tonnes can be defined and the expected zircon content holds up, the in-ground value of the zircon would be close to $3 billion at today's prices.
But, of course, there are risks. If zircon demand is soft like now, Sheffield will have a tough time arranging the funding. There are also technical and regulatory hurdles to overcome.
While Sheffield has more advanced minerals sands assets such as Eneabba in WA's mid-west and projects in other commodities, it is Dampier that has McQuitty most excited.
He believes the company has just scratched the surface, not only on its 2500 square kilometre project area, but also within the broader Canning Basin, which could develop into the country's next great mineral sands province.
Sheffield has keenly noted that industry leader
Since high-ranking executive Eve Howell left
That search has led the former chief executive of Australia's biggest resources project, the North West Shelf venture, to listed explorer
Howell has been appointed as executive chairman at Tangiers, reuniting with Brent Villamarette, who is on the board and worked with her at US energy producer Apache Corporation.
Veteran geologist Max de Vietri, regarded as a father of the Mauritanian oil and gas industry, is also starting as a non-executive director. He had been working with Howell and a colleague to identify opportunities.
While Howell is still formulating an exact strategy and the new board is yet to meet, she expects to add more acreage in Africa to what the company already has in Morocco, which is one of the hotspots in global oil and gas exploration.
Don't be surprised if under Howell, Tangiers finds partners for its offshore Moroccan blocks. That will hopefully free some funds for it to look at other things.
One of Howell's driving philosophies is if you have a big portfolio, you're going to succeed.
To state the bleeding obvious, Iran is no place for faint-hearted mining companies to be doing business.
UCL is a 24.5 per cent shareholder in Mehdiabad Zinc Company (MZC), which owns a large, undeveloped zinc and lead deposit in central Iran.
In 2010 UCL wrote off $24.3 million that it had invested in exploration and feasibility activities after the Iranian government terminated several agreements governing the project.
The company then shifted its focus to the Sandpiper marine phosphate project in Namibia, which it is currently seeking to wrest full control from joint venture partner Minemakers.
But this week came a development that UCL believes may allow it to reverse the impairment taken on Mehdiabad and progress towards production.
MZC has signed a 25-year production agreement for Mehdiabad with the Iranian government, essentially giving security of tenure and approval to mine.
Despite this, any investor with the slightest bit of sense would still be wary about buying shares in a company on the basis of the potential of a project in Iran.
Not to mention that the outlook for zinc isn't fantastic and UCL and its partners need to arrange more than $US1 billion in funding to get the project off the ground.
But it should be recognised that what looked to be a completely lost cause could now, at least to some extent, be salvaged.

RPGWatch should have a console RPG section.

It's an RPG-only site and not a lot of sites out there are like that. Only problem is it's missing console news.
The whole reason I joined this site is because I thought it was the one-stop place for all RPG news all the time. But now I find that they don't cover console RPGs. I don't see why. It wouldn't take that much extra effort really, and could possibly make the site even better than what it already is. I know I would personally donate to the site if they covered console RPGs. Hell, I am thinking about donating now and I don't even play PC RPGs. That's how good I think this site is. But I think they're really missing out on the console market that they could be tapping into. There's more people like me out there who want that one-stop RPG center, but they play their RPGs on consoles…

Defender Series
Tested by us. Built for you.
So how do you know that Defender Series is rugged? Hard science. We subjected Defender Series to our grueling OtterBox Certified Drop+ Protection program, running it through a battery of 31 tests over 238+ hours. Drop Tests, Abrasion Tests, Thermal Shock Tests, UV Tests. When the dust settled, the data said conclusively: Defender Series is a survivor.
Wrought Rugged
Defender Series is the definition of rugged. Featuring four defensive layers, it absorbs both everyday and extreme abuse. Its profile is styled to look slim and comes in your choice of powerful colors. Plus, Defender Series meets OtterBox Certified Drop+ Protection standards.
Four layers of fortification
Defender Series features four purpose-built lines of defense. It starts with an integrated screen cover that shields against scuffs. Behind that, a foam buffer cushions shock. Then, the soft-lined inner shell deflects drops. Finally, the outer slipcover seals out dirt and dust. Working together, they keep your device connected after calamities.
Maximum defence. Minimal profile.
Strapping and streamlined, Defender Series is as sturdy as it is stylish. Our engineers carefully shaped it to appear slim without compromising on crash protection. The result is a Defender Series that looks clean, feels good in your hand and fits comfortably in your pocket or purse.
Brilliant All Over
Every aspect of Defender Series is considered, right down to the color palette. Inspired by natural and urban landscapes, Defender Series looks forward while paying homage to the past. Contemporary and classic, rugged and refined, powerful and polished — Defender Series commands attention.
Clip on. Stand up.

Police investigating the so-called plebgate affair involving the former cabinet minister Andrew Mitchell have made two more arrests, including that of a serving constable, after receiving fresh information, Scotland Yard has revealed.
The arrests, which bring the total made in the inquiry to six, took place on Saturday morning at two undisclosed residential addresses.
The Metropolitan police launched the internal investigation, known as Operation Alice, after friends of Mitchell claimed he had been the victim of a smear campaign by officers.
The MP was forced to resign as chief whip after he admitted losing his temper and swearing at officers on duty in Downing Street last September. But he denies calling them plebs, as alleged in a police log leaked to the media.
The controversy arose after Mitchell tried to ride his bicycle through the gates in Downing Street and was asked to dismount by the two officers on duty.
After CCTV footage was broadcast, casting doubt on the original account of what happened, Scotland Yard launched an investigation that led to the arrest of three Met diplomatic protection officers. Another four officers were warned that they faced disciplinary action over their behaviour.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said the 48-year-old constable arrested on Saturday on suspicion of misconduct in a public office was one of the four issued with a warning. He works in the diplomatic protection group.
"We anticipate the officer will be suspended later today," the spokesman said.
A woman, aged 49, was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. She is not a police officer.
The man and the woman were taken into custody at separate police stations, one in London and the other outside the capital.
The development came as a result of fresh information disclosed on 4 June to officers investigating the matter, Scotland Yard said.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission, which was brought in to supervise the Met inquiry, has been informed.
Three Police Federation representatives from the Midlands who held a meeting with Mitchell and then called for him to consider his position, are facing disciplinary investigations by their forces over what they said to the media following the initial incident.
A Met officer was also arrested as part of the investigation over an email he sent to the deputy chief whip in which he claimed to be a member of the public who witnessed the affair, even though he had not been present. Prosecutors will now decide whether to charge the 52-year-old diplomatic protection officer with misconduct. A relative of the officer was also arrested as part of the investigation.

Sleek New Mosaic Poster for 'The Raid 2: Berandal' Sequel Debuts
by Alex Billington
February 18, 2014
Source: Latino Review
"One of the greatest action movies ever made." That's the quote (from Matt Goldberg's Collider reveiw / read Alex's review here) that headlines this new mosaic poster for the kick ass action sequel The Raid 2: Berandal, next premiering at the SXSW Film Festival in March. Latino Review first found, via Twitter, their latest international poster for the sequel, which is made up of small images from the film to form the very stern face of Rama, played again by Iko Uwais from The Raid. We still need an official US title, but for now this is what the film is known as. And I can't wait for it to hit theaters. Until then, check this out.
Here's the new poster for Gareth Evan's The Raid 2: Berandal, still lacking a US title. Via Latino Review.
For more updates on The Raid 2, follow both @XYZFilms or @ghuwevans. Here is Alex's Sundance review.
The Raid 2: Berandal, the sequel to The Raid, is written and directed by Welsh born filmmaker Gareth Evans who also directed the first film. Starring Iko Uwais, Arifin Putra, Alex Abad, Oka Antara, Tio Pakusadewo, Julie Estelle, Cecep Arif Rahman, Cok Simbara, Yayan Ruhian, Matsuda Ryuhei, Endo Kenichi, and Kitamura Kazuki, the film features our lead character Rama (Uwais) going undercover and infiltrating the ranks of a ruthless Jakarta crime syndicate in order to protect his family and uncover the corruption in his own police force. The film premieres at Sundance, and Sony Pictures Classics will release March 28th.

Henrico CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates. This nonprofit works with children who have landed in the court system generally due to neglect or abuse. CASA's are the go between lawyers, social workers, counsellors, etc. THEY work with the families and children to get a clear picture of what is really happening in these situations. They spend countless hours gathering information so that THEY can be an advocate for the children who can't speak for themselves. And they are ALL volunteers. They are the unsung heroes who work everyday to ensure a positive outcome for these at risk children. CASA is run entirely on grants and donations. They do so much with so little.
Being a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) is a truly rewarding experience. A CASA helps children who are in difficult situations through no fault of their own. Often their parents have not provided the love and support that any child is entitled to. Sometimes these children have been abused, either sexually, physically or emotionally. We investigate their situation and recommend to the Court what we believe is the best solution.
Some of these cases are disturbing. It is not always easy to prevent your emotions from getting the best of you. I try to stay calm and determine how I can best help the child.
Although it is not an easy volunteer position, I would recommend CASA to anyone who wants to help children in need.
CASA volunteers are the extra set of eyes, ears, heart and brains you need on every case to make sure the child get the BEST outcome for him/her and their family. They are SO needed in our justice system!!!!
I serve on the board for the Henrico County Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) and it has been a rewarding experience. It gives me great pride knowing my contributions to the board make a difference in the lives of the children in our county. The board strives to support CASA by raising awareness and funding for the increasing numbers of children who need representation in court proceedings. The Executive Director, Staff, and Volunteers of Henrico CASA go above and beyond each day for the abused and neglected children they advocate for. Donations to CASA will continue the mission and ensure the children on Henrico County, Virginia. Please consider supporting this vital organization by visiting www.henricocasa.org.
Henrico CASA is the rare non-profit which combines compassion for the abused and neglected children they serve with exceptionally high standards for their employees and volunteers. They have a direct impact on our community by improving the lives of the children who live here. Henrico's children are safer because of the efforts of a large group of dedicated volunteers and a small cadre of hard working staff members - there have been zero re-abuse cases of children assigned a CASA in Henrico. I can't think of a better nonprofit to support if you care about helping those who need it most - children who, through no fault of there own, require the protection of the Court.
Standing In The Gap. That is what Henrico CASA volunteers do every single day. Having served on the board for three years now, I have had the honor to observe and speak with these volunteers while they advocated for children that were either neglected and or abused. Their work is powerful, thoughtful, detailed and most importantly, valued by the children they serve. They work hard to improve and save the lives of those in need.
Granted, the volunteers are the face of Henrico CASA. However, without the experience and diligence of the administrative team to support their efforts, the challenges the face daily would be overwhelming.
Advocating for neglected and or abused children is a team sport. That is what my experience with Henrico CASA has been. I have been a part of a team. A team dedicated to Stand In The Gap and create WINS for our children in need.
We have taken part in the Henrico CASA Superhero Run for several years. Great fundraiser for a great cause, and a fun way to get the community involved with this important non-profit organization.
A wonderful agency to donate your time as a volunteer! The staff is so supportive and caring! If you want to make a difference in a child's life this team of wonderful people will train you! Great ongoings trainings to prepare you to help a child. Check out their website! Get involved!

Pretty pink hues — everything from blush to bold magenta — are perennially popular picks when it comes to wedding colors. While the paler shades, like blush and petal pink, may seem like the most obvious pinks thanks to their neutral yet pretty style, engaged girls should feel free to think beyond these light colors. Richer, warm colors are just as easy to incorporate into your wedding.
While there are lots of places to add pops of pink, the most obvious is through your wedding flowers. Namely, your bridal bouquet. Since your bouquet will be photographed from the time you're getting ready until the very end of the reception, it's important to pick standout blooms that complement your décor and wedding dress.
Whether you're a winter bride or a beach girl, there are tons of pink blooms for you to carry on your big day. Consider garden roses, peonies, ranunculus and lilies, or mix and match your favorite blossoms to create a lush and unexpected arrangement. Another inspired idea? Use neutral, rosy tones as a base color to anchor bold, seasonal colors. If you're tying the knot in the fall or winter, try mixing in deep reds. Spring and summer brides should consider bright yellow accents to play off the warm-weather months.
To help you get inspired when creating your own arrangement, we found 20 beautiful pink bouquets! Click here to check them out!

The Good, The Bad, and the Dirty: Island Princess Cruise Review by Cloud Hands
Overall Member Rating
The Good, The Bad, and the Dirty
Destination: Panama Canal & Central America
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
The rooms are tiny, the showers tinier. Our room had one queen size bed, one side chair, and enough walking around space to make a prison proud. There is no clock in the room; make sure you take a travel clock if you want one. You can phone for a wake up call, though. The linens were worn. Our comforter had a hole in it. It seems to be policy that sheets DO NOT get changed automatically. Even at Motel 6 you get your sheets changed every couple of days. After a week, when we asked, our steward More cheerfully went for new sheets. The same policy seems to exist for soap. When our sliver broke in two, we asked for a new bar and got one immediately. My point is, you shouldn't have to ask for soap or sheets. I talked to a couple of guests in other areas. One told me she had holes in her linen, asked her steward when they were due for a refurbish, and he said they were only 2 years old.
The food was good, plentiful, and typical cruise fare. Lobster, steak, baked Alaska. By the end of the cruise we were tired of sauces and nouvelle cuisine. Would you seriously choose a sandwich of veal and tuna? Ham and marmalade? Or a salad of watermelon and feta cheese? The waiters were wonderful, the headwaiter was funny. The chefs put on a show near the end that was hilarious, followed by a tour of the kitchen. The ship offers 2 dinner seatings as well as freestyle. The headwaiter told us that on the next cruise so many people had chosen freestyle that they would be waiting every night.
The production shows were excellent. There were also a couple of comics and a ventriloquist who was great if you like that sort of stuff. One thing you need to know about the shows: If you are in the late seating for dinner, you WILL miss at least one show. The theater is fairly small, the lounge venue with table and chair seating is very small and has lots of bad seats. Some shows are repeated a second night, but the second night show has only one 8:00 show. There is no late show. We heard lots of grumbling about that.
The day before the Panama Canal, there are several good documentaries on TV about the building of the canal. As you go through, there is an excellent commentary broadcast in the public areas. If you want to see the locks, get up early to fight the crowds. Most go up to the buffet area. Our steward suggested the bow area of decks 10 and 11. If you keep going forward, you come to an unmarked door which leads to a wooden door, which leads to a big balcony. Get there around 6 am. If you don't take a tour, and go back through the locks, an interesting perspective is from the fitness center at the top back of the ship. You can walk on a treadmill to get rid of the veal/tuna sandwiches and watch the locks from the back view.
The Fitness Center (yes, some people do go to the gym on a cruise) is small but okay. The bikes aren't in the best shape, but neither are the people. All free classes are at 7 or 7:30 AM. Any other classes like yoga, pilates or spin cost money. Princess is well known for nickel and diming you. Skip the free lectures; they are blatant sales pitches for $600 to $900 detox programs with algae. Don't count on seeing any fitness staff actually IN the gym; they're too busy selling stuff to make sure you know how to use the equipment safely.
On the whole, we've had better, we've had worse. Very little illness on board, and hand sanitizers everywhere you looked. Less

'Em If You Got 'em!
Faced with the tough economic conditions and even tougher competition, Ford isn't waving the white flag while it waits for the next F-150 to arrive in 2009. Instead, Ford is adding new models and features to the 2007 and 2008 F-150 lineups and loudly blowing its horn about the current F-150's capabilities versus new trucks from General Motors and Toyota.
If you're itching to buy the 2008 Ford Foose F-150 but want to hedge against gas prices jumping over $4 per gallon before you can park one in your driveway, then head on down to a Blue Oval dealer today and order the latest iteration of the Ford Harley-Davidson F-150.
The 2007 Harley F-150 is once again offered as a crew cab – last year's was only available as an extended cab – plus it adds a new version with an optional twin-screw, Saleen-sourced supercharger under the hood that pumps up the F-150's naturally aspirated 5.4-liter V8's horsepower and torque figures by 150-ponies and 135 foot-pounds, to 450-hp / 500 ft-lbs. This is the same powertrain setup that will spin the Foose's rubber next year. Only the bling is different from Chip's ride – with embossed Harley-Davidson logos along the side, polished 22-inch chrome wheels, a unique grille, twin tailpipes, and smoked headlights. The all wheel drive system from last year's Harley F-150 is still available but it only comes sans S/C.
We took the new HD F-150 for a quick spin up and down the track at Ford's proving grounds in Dearborn, Michigan. The supercharged version is only available with two-wheel drive, so performance lovers who crave attention can burn rubber before launching this truck. Once properly warmed, the tires and motor quickly shoot the truck up to speeds around 110-mph at 4,100 RPM in just under a mile. Ford has worked with team Saleen to tune the truck's shift points for optimal performance while siamese-twin exhausts crank out a nice soundtrack at all velocities.
Speed comes at a price though. A supercharged HD F-150 will lighten your wallet by $44,000, or $6,500 more than a base Harley F-150.
Ford is also adding two more F-150 crew cab options at opposite ends of the model spectrum for the 2008 model year. Work truck buyers will be able to order the base model F-150 XL as a SuperCrew four door for the first time, while luxury buyers will be able to order a highline 'Limited Package' version of the Lariat SuperCrew.
The F-150 XL SuperCrew will come standard with power side mirrors, an AM/FM and CD stereo, overhead console, color keyed carpet and floor mats, and 40/20/40-split cloth front seat with manual lumbar controls for the driver.
You can have any color Limited Package Lariat SuperCrew you want as long as it's white sand metallic. The monochromatic paint job covers every exterior surface, including the bumpers, billet grille, and tops of the side mirrors. The LP SCrew borrows its 22-inch polished aluminum wheels from the Harley F-150 but differentiates the rims with painted inner highlights and unique center caps. The interior has two-tone soft leather seating surfaces and a spun-silver instrument cluster. Only about 5,000 of these trucks will be produced and each one will carry a numbered commemorative plaque on the ashtray and dash.

Strong WindsTrick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
It was a very windy day. On a narrow but busy country road, the wind blew over 3 trucks. However, this had no effect on the rest of the traffic in either direction. Even if the trucks had been blown to the side of the road, it would still not have caused delays with recovery. Why were there no effects on the traffic?
AnswerI said the wind blew OVER the trucks: it did not blow the trucks over.

Raising money-smart children
Teaching kids how to earn, save, give and spend
In first and second grade, your children are probably learning cursive handwriting and their multiplication tables. But there's something else they can learn—money management. And there's no better teacher than you.
Most children know about money at a young age. But they may not understand where it comes from and how it is used. Teaching them early on can help instill in them important money-management values that will help them later on.
Plant the seeds
Explain to your children that money doesn't magically grow in the garden. Tell them they may receive money as a gift for special occasions, such as birthdays and graduations, but that the person giving them the gift had to earn that money. Then suggest that they too earn money by doing chores around the house.
Discuss the chores your children may want to do. Then set a payment schedule for each chore (e.g., 50 cents for setting the table at dinner time) and a schedule for how often the chore must be done (e.g., five days a week). Let your children keep track of their activity. Then at the end of each week, sit down and tally up how much they've earned and give them their allowance for the week.
Making children earn their money gives them a sense of satisfaction—and teaches them that money isn't as easy to come by as they may originally have thought. Also, when children earn money, they're less likely to be wasteful with it.
Hint: Children will be more inclined to save a $5 bill than five $1 bills. So when appropriate, try giving them the larger denomination.
Watch the fruits grow
As your children earn money or get it as a gift, they'll probably want to spend some of it here and there. Ask them to decide what they want and whether they have enough to purchase it. If they don't have enough money for the item they want, explain the concept of saving.
One way to do so is to set up savings accounts for them. Tell them that each time they earn money, they can deposit it into the account and watch their money grow. Be sure to explain the added bonus of interest. They'll love the idea of watching their money grow without having to do anything.
Tell them that when they have enough money saved up to buy the item they want, they can withdraw the money from the bank and make the purchase on their own. This will give them time to think about whether they really want the item. Chances are, they'll forget about it and want something else by the time they save up enough to buy it.
Share with others
Your children have probably learned about less fortunate people in school. Now's as good a time as any to teach them about charity. Set a percentage that they should give to charity—perhaps 10% of their savings.
Enjoy the fruits of labor
If your children are serious about buying a particular item and have saved up enough to do so, let them do it. They will have much more respect for the item they're purchasing if they use their own money to buy it. But before you let them spend, explain the importance of saving some of their savings for a rainy day.
A good rule of thumb for money management is the 10-10-80 rule—10% for charity, 10% for savings, and 80% for spending.
Kids can grow into money-conscious adults
The lessons your kids learn about money today will put them on the right path to financial independence tomorrow. And they're never too young to learn.

Eh, I can't really vote. I played Dante's Inferno demo. But can't bring myself to play DmC's demo.
Conceptually I like Dante's Inferno better but I don't feel qualified to call it "the better game".

The point of this poll? I'm going to assume you havn't tried Dante's Inferno.
The game is in essence a DMC game, from the way it controls, to move sets. They even use Dante and Vergil in the game, but in different formats.
(Granted, Dante's Inferno is based off a Poem)
I'm curious as to who likes what better? That's the point.

DmC by a mile based on the demo vs. the full dante's inferno game
And I don't even like DmC much. It's like a 7/10 to me, though, which is more than most people give it credit for and still a lot better than Dante's Inferno.
FireMage7777 posted...
Dante's Inferno...despite being a glaring GOW ripoff
^ This. Dante's Inferno is much more GoW than DMC.
As far as which one I prefer? I'd have to say DmC. Dante's Inferno was like GoW, without the depth - which itself already has less depth than DMC - except they didn't even do that great a job with it. As FireMage goes on to list: the environments were really well done and very hellish, but they start to look same-y near the end. On top of that, some of the things in DI... Well, it was just too much. It seemed like Visceral wanted to go as overboard and in-your-face as much as possible with some of their stuff and while I appreciate the attempt, it wasn't personally to my liking. (I.e. - the "lust" women that had tentacles/spikes firing out of them, or splitting open and lunging at you that way)

FireMage7777 posted...Dante's Inferno...despite being a glaring GOW ripoff
Shengali, I mean no offense by this, but I have no idea what your talking about o.O
You litturally go through the 9 levels of hell, and every one is completely different at the end.
Also, Lust Tentacles? Do you mean her chest?
But as other people have said, I'm having difficulty understanding how you guys see this game having less depth then GoW, followed by DmC.
(Going to summerize these as much as possible)
DMC - Half Demon going out to kill demons for a living.
GoW - A pissed off spartan, who gets revenge on the gods that let his family die, by becoming a god.
DI - A crusader indulges based off a lie, and now much go through every layer of hell to save his loved ones, only to fall into prophecy.
Please feel free to elaborate on how Dante's Inferno has the least depth out of the 3 games mentioned?

"… at 301 Bedford Avenue (at South First Street) is Brand-Name Damages, opened in December by an artists' collective called the Justice League of America, whose members are mostly recent and current students at the nearby Pratt Institute. The 25 members, who pay $40 a month to support the gallery, meet on Sunday afternoons to determine their activities, which include a homemade magazine called Zinemag."
Thank goodness New York Times art critic Roberta Smith included this comment in her survey of small, new Brooklyn galleries, published March 23 1990. Without it, we would never know what we had found when this uncatalogued issue of the periodical/artists' book Zinemag turned up. No other copies are listed on OCLC or in Arcade, the catalog for members of the New York Art Resources Consortium (NYARC). We would certainly be interested in completing the run, if anyone kept their issues.

Celebrity Apprentice Episode 6
Celebrity Apprentice: Was the Right Candidate Fired?
Last night's episode of The Celebrity Apprentice was more of the same old, same old: Piers was condescending, Omarosa used "son" at the end of her sentences, Stephen Baldwin was bossy, Lennox seemed a little sedated (still love him though), Carol barely spoke, and Trace was the charming hero.
So what was different about last night's QVC challenge? Well, Marilu seemed a little kooky, no? I know her nerves just got the best of her, but it was strange to see her not in total control — her act is usually so polished and together.
It's true that Hydra lost because of Marilu — not only was she the project manager, but she was also the star of the QVC spot, too. However, Carol worked for QVC and didn't even bring up the important information about easy pay and that really could have helped her team. For one reason or another (friendship? respect?) Marilu didn't bring Carol back to the boardroom to face the Trumps.
So what I want to know is: Should Donald have fired Marilu for being an unsuccessful project manager, or should Lennox have been fired for sleeping and not contributing much to the challenge?

Most Popular Review
As makjang as the elements in the show are, when I watch it (for the 50th time) I feel like it's real love, pain, hope, and chance happening to real people. Bravo to the cast and crew for making such a lovely, uplifting show. I would recommend it to anyone. The commitment of all the actors to their characters--the ones I loathed and the ones I loved--is something to behold. The description of the show is inaccurate, and the 30 hours of the show are worth every minute. It's not everyday you get to see MULTIPLE leads have a disability that is portrayed in a sympathetic manner. Also, because of the way they wrap up the climax, it has one of the most well paced, satisfying endings I've ever seen.
This show deserves to be on Dramafever.com. The internet is blowing up with how good it is--and yet, it isn't here yet! The characters, the tone, the balance, the story, the cinematography--all of it--make it worth posting here. Thanks!

England's Ian Poulter won the Australian Masters at Victoria Golf Club as local favourite
Poulter had a final round 67 to cruise to a three-shot victory at 15 under par.
Victorian Marcus Fraser finished second at 12 under following a final round 64 while Ogilvy shot two-over 73 to finish outright third, 11 under the card.
Ogilvy started the day two shots in the lead but was hunted down firstly by Poulter and then by Fraser.
Fraser continued the excellent form he has shown in the past two months, defying tough, swirling winds to leap up the leaderboard.
Poulter set up his victory with a confident opening nine which began with an eagle two at the first hole.
That allowed him to immediately draw level with Ogilvy, and he moved a shot ahead with birdies at the seventh and ninth.
Ogilvy seemed frustrated by the windy conditions and, despite his local knowledge, was unable to set up any opportunities.
In fact, he slipped further behind with bogeys at the 13th and 15th holes.
Ogilvy made his first birdie of the day when he sank a four-metre putt at the par three 16th.
He was left little time to celebrate, however, as Poulter, seconds later, rolled in a three-metre putt to match Ogilvy and stretch his lead to four shots.
World No. 1 Luke Donald made a half-hearted charge early in the day when he climbed to fourth place, but the Englishman faltered on the back nine to finish one-over 72 and four under for the tournament.

Search for missing aircraft in Antarctica – Update #4
DATE: 25 January 2012 TIME: 9am
Search for missing aircraft in Antarctica – Update #4
Bad weather continues to prevent visual contact being made with an aircraft missing on a flight in Antarctica from the South Pole to Terra Nova Bay.
The Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand (RCCNZ) is coordinating the search, working with United States, Canadian and Italian authorities, after the Twin Otter aircraft's emergency locator transmitter was activated at around 10pm on Wednesday, 23 January.
Another Twin Otter aircraft from McMurdo Base flew to over the site of the beacon activation this morning but heavy cloud and strong winds prevented any visual contact.
The location is at a height of 3,900m (13,000 feet) at the Northern end of the Queen Alexandra Range, within New Zealand's Search and Rescue Region – halfway between the South Pole and McMurdo Station (approximately 680km (370 nautical miles) in each direction).
RCCNZ Search and Rescue Mission Coordinator Kevin Banaghan said the beacon stopped transmitting overnight but this was not unexpected given the battery life and the cold conditions. The location has been well identified.
"Weather conditions remain very challenging and are forecast to continue for the next 12 hours. However, over the next 24 hours winds in the area are forecast to drop from 90 knots (170km/hr) to 20 knots (35km/hr), with cloud forecast to lift and become scattered.
"When conditions ease, the intention is to set up a forward base at a location approximately 50km from the beacon site, from which to launch operations to the site."
Weather conditions have not yet allowed helicopters to fly to the area, but two helicopters, including a Southern Lakes (New Zealand) helicopter on contract to Antarctica New Zealand at Scott Base, remain on standby should weather conditions change.

You know you're in trouble when all the success factors for your most recent IT project involve wetware instead of software and hardware.
In the healthcare industry the wetware the bits of wetware that make the decisions tend to be specialists in wetware, not in business or technology.
That can be good or bad, according to hospital CIOs I've interviewed.
On one hand docs are generally smart(ish) and those who have been practicing for the last five to ten years are generally pretty technical as well. A decade or two ago it wasn't unusual to see copiers, computers and other gear marked with a "No M.D.'s" sign because people used to poking at soft tissue often didn't do well with software.
Now there are plenty of doctors who specialize in both clinical systems used to treat patients and administrative systems used to run the hospitals.
The best known of them even has a sense of humor. John D. Halamka, CIO and many other things at Boston's Harvard Medical School-affiliated Beth Israel-Deaconness Medical Center blogs at geekdoctor.blogspot.com.
So with all those heavily degreed IT specialists running the IT and the hospital (no matter what it says on the organizational chart, the doctors always run the hospital), it shouldn't be that difficult to walk even a big healthcare organization through the conversion to electronic health records (EHR) that has to be completed by the federally mandated deadline of October, 2013, right?
So why are the first five success factors listed in a new report from CSC's Health Delivery Group all the kind of "soft" issues usually associated with IT projects with more political obstacles than technical ones, and shelfware or outright failure rates much higher than projects that are only technologically impossible?
Nope. HealthcareIT always seems just five to 10 years away from radically transforming healthcare, but the deadline moves ahead at the same speed as the calendar, according to one guy who's obviously spent a lot of time watching the healthcare industry chase itself in circles.
According to CSC's list of success factors, EHR projects need to have the right leadership, right culture, right governance, doctors, nurses and stakeholders engaged and accountable for the transformation?
Isn't all that pretty basic for a massive, company-wide conversion to which you're not only committed, but are required by law (and subsidized by $19 billion in 2009) to complete?
The rest of the success factors aren't that surprising -- every project needs enough money, accepted standards, matched timeline and expectations, training/communications and vendor partnerships.
It's just the first five (usually the most important, but I hope they were counting backward) that sound like the more remedial portions of "Baby's First Technology Project."
Healthcare IT projects are really complicated and they're starting much farther back than companies in other industries, most of which also got excited about computers sometime in the Disco era, but actually kept using and sometimes updating them right through the 80s and 90s.
Hospitals have traditionally been run as a collection of fiefdoms in which department heads made all the decisions about when to use computers and what kind -- which usually boiled down to "no" and "cheap ones."
No matter what anyone says about ObamaCare (double-check their facts; chances are they haven't), the IT requirements in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act can only make the whole convoluted, inefficient process of delivering and paying for healthcare more efficient.
And no one's saying the healthcare industry has an easy nut to crack plugging paper-based, rigidly independently minded, often luddite-leaning doctors and large physician practices into a smoothly interoperable, secure network.
When one of the leading consulting companies helping the industry do that leads its success list with such lowered expectations and assumptions of obstruction and failure, it does nothing to make me feel more confident that healthcare is moving fast enough to hit its own deadlines.
That's not true of individual hospitals. Some are shining towers of tech. Some are moss-covered castles still rooted in the bronze age.
It's not just the castles that are the problem; it's a culture that allows luddites to overrule or seriously retard updates to process and technology that are well proven to make the process more efficient and improve patient care at the same time.
When the conversions and training to allow users to deal with them are rushed, however, as they are when a whole industry approaches a hard deadline, efficiency and patient care crash at the same time.
Two years isn't a lot of time for a big project. Those of us on the consumption side of the healthcare industry can only hope the parts of the industry that still need to work through their personnel issues to move to digital recordkeeping get the hell on with it.

Finished my first squad of UNSC/L with an UNSC/H squad attachment. Also useful as a comparison shot.
Thanks for all the ideas for the paint scheme
feedback is always welcome :) I think I have at least two more squads inbound from Jon, and some UNSC/H too I think!
More at the blog: link
Really liking your 15mm projects!
Wonderful work MrHarold! The gold visors are great! Keep up the good work.
+1 for the Gold visors. :)
Indeed, the gold visors look great with that color scheme. Very nice sir!
Those Gold Visors = WOW!!!!!
Awsome colour scheme! Its a bit of a shame that the hardsuits don't build on the desighn of the light infantry helments, nice mini and the guns cool but it just looks a tad out of place when next to the light infantry
It would be interesting to see the UNSC-H guy next to some of Eureka's Ventaurans. Some of the suit detailing looks quite similar, so maybe they'd be a better match than the UNSC-L.
I dig hi tech looks of UNSC light infantry..
But hardsuit looks sily with those bulky bad sci-fi helmets.They just look bad in comparison..like wearing pot on their heads ;(
Nice work on the visors MrHarold..I will steal this idea :)
Thanks guys, I appreciate the compliments!
The UNSC/H do look to be a slightly different style than the UNSC/L
I'm not sure i'd field them in the same force, but they are very nice minis, I think people who like a little more "retro" 70's look will like the H guys.
Sorry - only verified members can post on the forums.

So she came and sat by Thora, taking her hand and kissing her, and we told her what osmund's thoughts were.
Did you ever, in the course of your wanderings, hear of a certain osmund Maiden?
"We are not oath breakers, King Alfred," osmund said, looking him in the face.
osmund heard them with fear; he trembled for those he held dearer than life.
I was struck at once by the remarkable likeness the former bore to osmund Maiden as I remembered him.
So Odda helped me through with osmund's thanks, and I was glad.
Will you slay osmund the jarl, who has kept his troth, even to coming back to what he knew would be his death?
This outlander rode with osmund the Dane to bring them on us even now.
Then osmund rose up and went his way silently, as was his wont; and Dudda grinned at us.
osmund would go with them, and so no fear for them was on our minds.

Car wont Start - New battery, New Alternator
I drive a 2004 545i Sport
So i got a new battery and a new alternator installed 2 weeks ago from a bmw dealer. Cost me $3000 ++. Last night i drove the car just fine. Today in the morning the car won't respond. Had to manually unlock the car. When i insert the key no response, no light no nothing as if the car had no battery.
Took it back to the dealer who read all the fault codes and several hours later informed me that the active steering control unit is acting up. Last night after i went to bed it switch on to prepare the car for a driver. it kept switching off and on overnight which eventually killed the battery. I am now told that i have to replace this unit which might or might not fix the problem. The unit costs $2300.
I have already spent $3000+ don't want to spend more. Any creative suggestions? Need help guys

Combating cancer
Imagine being diagnosed with a disease that would likely take your life in a year or less. Unfortunately, this is the reality for those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, as 74 percent of patients die within one year of diagnosis. The disease has a five-year survival rate of just 6 percent, the lowest among major cancers.
What's worse is that there has been little progress in detecting and treating pancreatic cancer. Since the passage of the National Cancer Act more than 40 years ago, the five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer has only improved from 2 percent to 6 percent. By comparison, the five-year survival rate for all cancers currently stands at an impressive 67 percent.
Pancreatic cancer is unique and requires specific action. The disease is so deadly because there are no early detection methods to diagnose it in its early stages, and there are no effective treatment options to treat the disease once it's been diagnosed.
After seeing how fast this monster cancer took my mother in only two months after diagnosis, I knew I couldn't just sit back and accept this as the way things have to remain. My mother always taught me to fight for what I believe in, and it's in her memory that I've been doing just that for the past six years.
Fortunately, there is hope. Congress is debating the Pancreatic Cancer Research & Education Act (S. 362/H.R.733), which would require the National Cancer Institute to create a long-term and comprehensive strategic plan to address pancreatic cancer with the goal of improving early detection methods and developing new treatment options.
If Congress gets behind this bill, pancreatic cancer patients will finally have more options and ultimately more hope.

Manila (AFP) March 09, 2014
The Philippines also has the right to defend every inch of its territory, President Benigno Aquino's spokesman said on Sunday, after China made a similar warning.
Spokesman Herminio Coloma's remarks came after China's foreign minister Wang Yi said on Saturday said his country would vigorously defend its sovereignty against "unreasonable demands from smaller countries".
Although he was referring to Japan, which has its own territorial dispute with China, his remarks could also cover China's other territorial dispute with the Philippines and other countries over parts of the South China Sea.
"It is the right of every country to defend its national territory. That is also the principle we are following," Coloma told reporters, commenting on the Chinese minister's remarks.
Coloma added that the Philippines was basing its position on the principles of international law like the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea or UNCLOS.
The Philippines and China, along with Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam are all claimants to parts of the South China Sea, a major sea lane and rich fishing ground which is believed to sit on vast mineral deposits.
The Philippines has also expressed growing concern at the increased aggressiveness of the Chinese in pressing their claim to almost all of the waters, even up to the coasts of its neighbours.
The Philippine government has sought UN arbitration under UNCLOS to settle the dispute but China has rejected the move.
Last month the Philippines lodged a protest after the Chinese coastguard allegedly attacked Filipino fishermen off a disputed South China Sea shoal with water cannon on January 27. Beijing rejected the protest.
Philippines 'won't rush defence accord' for Obama visit
President Benigno Aquino's spokesman Herminio Coloma said there was no timetable to complete the agreement which would allow more US troops and equipment access to the Philippines.
The agreement, which the two close allies have been discussing for several years, is seen as part of a Philippine effort to counter China's aggressive moves to back its claims to most of the South China Sea.
Asked by reporters if the accord would be completed before Obama's visit, Coloma said, "the government's priority is not with a timetable or with rushing something".
"In our view, it is not deadlines but the quality and content of the agreement that is more worthy of attention," he added.
Coloma also hailed the just-concluded Philippine-US bilateral strategic dialogue in Washington where both sides expressed concern for "recent developments" in the South China Sea as well as the need to respect international law and freedom of navigation in those waters.
"The outcome of the dialogue affirms the principles underpinning the strategic partnership between the two countries," he said.
Many observers believed the agreement would be completed ahead of Obama's visit to the Philippines as part of an Asian tour in April.
The Philippines has been hoping for increased US assistance for its poorly-equipped military amid growing territorial tensions with China.
China claims virtually all of the South China Sea, a major shipping lane that is also a rich fishing ground and is believed to sit on vast mineral resources.
The Philippines along with Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam all have competing claims to parts of the South China Sea.

A film about the fictitious murder of US president George Bush is also among the movies to be featured.
The influential Canadian event, which runs until 16 September, is regarded by many as a showcase for Hollywood movies hoping to be Oscar contenders.
The Journals of Knud Rasmussen, about an Inuit shaman, opens the festival.
Other films on offer include All the King's Men with Sean Penn and Jude Law and El Cantante starring real-life couple Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony.
James Bond star Daniel Craig appears as killer Perry Smith in Infamous, about the years Truman Capote spent researching real-life crime novel In Cold Blood.
The film also stars Toby Jones, Sandra Bullock, Gwyneth Paltrow and Sigourney Weaver.
Actors Tom Hanks, Jennifer Lopez, Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins and Penelope Cruz are among those expected to attend the festival.
Toronto also has a political feel this year - as well as Death of a President, there will be a screening of documentary Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing about the band's fall-out with George Bush over Iraq.
Spike Lee's Hurricane Katrina documentary When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts will also be shown and Michael Moore will showcase clips of his upcoming film Sicko about the US healthcare system.
"This year seems to be shaping up around politics. We do live in a very violent and politically divisive age, and a lot of the films that people are picking up on this year have provocative political content," festival co-director Noah Cowan told the AFP news agency.
A total of 352 films from 61 countries will be screened at Toronto, including 261 feature films.

In addition to providing one number for voice calls, Google Voice also serves as a hub for SMS as it lets users send text messages from any of their devices or even right over the Web on their computer. And as far as voicemail goes, Google Voice has the ability to provide automated voicemail transcriptions that can be sent through both SMS and through standard email. This means that users can get the general gist of a voicemail without dialing into their voicemail service and listening through an entire message.
There are many, many other features to Google Voice that Google describes at length here.
How are wireless carriers going to react to this?
If there's one thing that gives telecom companies nightmares, it's the thought of being relegated to providing "dumb pipes" that only transmit data and don't provide any value-added services for their customers. In this light, carriers might not be overly happy to have Google Voice become too popular, even though Google Voice users would still be paying the telcos for their voice and data services. Net neutrality proponents such as the media advocacy group Free Press have met Google Voice with enthusiasm, as they think it could give users the ability to seamlessly switch carriers if their current carrier is too restrictive of what they can and cannot use on their mobile devices.
"If Google Voice becomes more widely adopted, it will further condition people to think of their handheld device as another Internet device where they can use any application they choose," says Free Press campaign director Tim Karr. "For all of its strengths as a device, the iPhone is not truly delivering the Internet in your pocket. It's an Internet that has certain services and apps blocked."
Additionally, Infonetics Research analyst Diane Myers says that Google's strong relationships with third-party developers gives the company an edge over both carriers and over-the-top VoIP providers in pushing out new and innovative applications for their voice service.
"Skype has a huge install base, they have a lot of users and brand recognition, but Google has the added advantage over them because they can start tapping into a larger developer community that they've been working with for years," she says.
Of course, Google Voice doesn't present the same competition for revenues to traditional carriers that Skype does. But Orr thinks that it could force carriers to look into changing how they offer value-added services over their networks if they want to avoid becoming "dumb pipes."
"I don't see Google Voice competing with the traditional telecom companies," he says. "But maybe carriers need to examine the competitive space they operate in and understand how to implement more digital features to their existing services."

3. Re: OWB using Advanced Security?PaulB_Edi May 24, 2012 11:25 AM (in response to Igor.M)Thanks--I'm aware of all of that: my question is--are other people seeing OWB client software invoke Advanced Security usage (inadvertently)?
4. Re: OWB using Advanced Security?Ossy81 Nov 13, 2012 4:30 PM (in response to PaulB_Edi)HI Paul,
we have exact the same issue too..
I'm now trying to convince Oracle that we weren't aware of this, because i'm afraid that Oracle will ask us to pay for this wile it's being used by default by OWB and SQL Developer.
Oracle provided us with the option to disable it, but this option was already disabled in our case.
How did you "solve" it?
5. Re: OWB using Advanced Security?StefanH Nov 19, 2012 3:42 PM (in response to PaulB_Edi)Hi Paul,
Same here. Following an Oracle LMS screening, I'm now trying to convince Oracle that we're not (knowingly) using Advanced Security.
Both databases that Advanced Security was discovered on, are OWB repository databases.
When I connect using sqlplus to the database an run your query, no rows are returned. When I start OWB and run the query again 1 row is returned.
Hope you will follow up on this older topic and post the solution.
