Oioi, folks!
You shouldn't even be here. Screw that, this is an open blog. Feel free to have a look around.
If you have no imaginiation, or you're a troll and you know it, leave this page now, please. I highly doubt most people will find this essay intresting. I just felt this needed its own page rather than sit at the bottom of my profile.
EDIT:Yeah, feel free to comment, but be warned, it's a lengthy read. Maybe I should make it a book, not a game (note: that was a joke).
This is basically my idea for a game, that I'va had brewing up for some time. Like I said before, I don't know if you like reading about other people's ideas, but if you want to, feel free. Also, if you do, leave a comment, please. Feedback would be appreciated.
The year is 2017, but not in this reality. In an alternate future, due to ecomonic problems, a socialist group known as the ISF are elected in many European countries, including France, Germany and Spain. Problem is, the USA aren't keen and never have been. With socialist ideoligys spreading across Europe fast, capatilsm is at risk. After the USA are informed that a coalition is being formed throughtout every socialist country in Europe, they get seriously worried. US Marines are stationed in the remaining capatalist European countries, in fear that the socialists are planning something. On the 17th February 2017, US Navy SEALs begin an operation to prevent socialist militarys moving into Czechoslavakia, one of the remaining capatalist countries, but the operation kills 19 civilians.
Tensions grow. Britain, once the USA's closest ally, is occupied by both ISF forces and US military units. Split between North and South, the people of Britian develop a rivalry, and, with theses tensions at an all-time high, groups from the socialist side attack the American-occupied Southern side.
The result is war. With most of Europe in wastes thanks to the agressiveness of both the ISF and the USA, only Britian still stands strong. But the USA are determined to drive the ISF out of the country, it seems even Britian is at risk. That's where Downfall begins.
The player assumes the role of Eric Styles, a young US Marine who has been stationed in Northern England as part of an attempt to rid the world of the ISF once and for all. The problem is, the ISF where never destined to leave. The USA has given the ISF enough time to advance, adapt and develop new technologies never before seen in combat. The US forces outnumber the ISF, but with the determination and technology of the remaining socialists, it looks like the war might go on for longer than anyone had previously predicted.As the game's intro ends, Eric finds himself amongst the wrecks of an APC, with his fellow Marines being killed all around him. Two helpful Marines instruct him that the rest of his squad left a while ago, and that he was unconscious for some time. The player must regroup with Eric's squad (at the moment, it consists mostly of redshirts). Once Eric's found his squad, a few of them are picked off by a sniper. And so, Eric and Stan (see characters, below) are tasked with taking this sniper out.
Once the sniper's dead, Eric and Stan make their way back to the streets in which their squad waits for them; only to find that the ISF are pinning them down behind cover. With your squad, you must eliminate as many of the ISF ambushers as possible, before they overwhelm you. Luckily, a wrecked Humvee's turret is still operational.
With the ISF troops making a hasty retreat after your counterattack, Eric and his surviving squad members (at this point, only Stan, an unnamed Sergeant and two other Marines) can safely make thier way out of the streets and back to their base. They report to a Lietenant and tell him their mission was a failure, as they lacked the manpower to complete their objective. Upon hearing this, the Lietenant merges your current squad with SSGT. Blake's squad, and sends you once again into the fray.
Making your way down the streets of Gosforth in a Humvee, all does not go as planned. Yet another ISF ambush causes your team to bail out. Having to make their way on foot, Eric and the rest have to fight their way through numerous ISF teams, some even weilding heavy machine-guns. Eventually you all pull through, however getting to your objective, which your Sergeant refuses to shed any light on, is another matter. The team hijack an enemy vehicle, which they use to drive towards the objective.
On the way, they run out of fuel, but handily command offers them a ride in an APC. In the APC, Stan, Eric and the rest of the squad have a few moments of witty banter, but it's not long before the fun ends and the real mission begins: the objective, apparently, is to raid a place known as the Meideros Facility.
All is normal, at first, and it seems the ISF have a base of operations in the Meideros Facility, which must be cleared out. Taking out countless ISF guards, the squad heads deeper and deeper into the facility until something does not seem right: there are corspes everywhere, both civilian and ISF, which was not the doing of any Marines.Upon deciding that there must have been a previous operation in the Meideros Facility, the team keep advancing. Suddenly, huge shockwave shakes the whole facility, and everyone complains that their heads hurt. One Marine, Emmerson, is severly effected by these headaches and sits down to rest with Stan, while Blake and the others keep going to find any other ISF personnell. On the way, Eric is split up with the rest of the squad, and then has to search for them. After seeing some wierd things in some of the facility's storage rooms, Eric meets up with Emmerson, who appears to have run away from Stan. It quickly becomes obvious that he has gone completely insane, and shortly, he puts a shotgun in his mouth and kills himself. Before he does die, however, he warns Eric not to help "him", but doesn't exactly explain what he means. Nevertheless, Eric continues to search for his friends, and eventually finds Stan. Stan says he saw Blake and the other Marines before, but one of them, Collins, has been acting funny. Stan leads Eric to them, but when they get there, Collins has Blake and one other Marine, Leeroy, at gunpoint. The other Marine is dead. Blake tries to talk Collins out of shooting them, but Collins has also gone crazy. He shoots Leeroy in the leg and is about to shoot Blake, but Eric takes action and kills him before he can shoot Blake. In his dying words, Collins tells Eric that he's "got to help "him"", but Blake shoots him before he can finish the sentence. With three members of the squad dead, and one injured, the team decides that they should think about pulling out of the facility, deciding that there can't be anymore ISF troops in there.
However, things don't always go as planned. For some reason, the doors they came through have all been locked, and they must find a different way around. While going through the storage area that Eric has already been through, another shockwave rocks the facility. Blake, Stan and Eric all drop to the floor to avoid debris, but Leeroy remains standing, and clutches onto his head while screaming. His blood vessels become swollen, and shortly afterwards, they pop. The shockwave ends, and for some reason Blake, Stan and Eric where all unaffected, but Stan is severly disturbed by what happened to Leeroy and advises Blake that he gives the order to pull out as soon as possible. Blake refuses, however, as he wants to know why the shockwaves keep occuring and why they affect certain people in strange ways. So, with Blake leading the way, the remaining team head towards the laboratorys, in an attempt to find out what the hell is going on.
Once there, the team discovers years of scientific research concerning coercive persuasion, in other words, mind control. Passing it off as "years of scientific research wasted", Blake quickly confirms it's all BS and gives the order to pull out, much to Stan's relief. Just a stone's throw from the elevator back to the surface, the floorboards give way and Eric falls deeper down. Stan and Blake make it out, but Eric must find his own way out.After some exploration, Eric finds out that the Meideros Facility isn't exaclty empty. He comes across a radio that someone is trying to contact him with. Upon taking the radio, Eric uses this man's guidance to escape. However, the person on the other end wants Eric to do a few "chores" for him before he will tell him how to get out. These involve flicking some switches, hitting some buttons and strapping things to his wrist, none of which Eric knows what does. Finally, the man tells Eric how to escape, and Eric does so, but the man strongly advises Eric to ditch the radio, because he "knows Blake will find out" where he is if Eric still has the radio. Eric, being the niave little bastard he is, drops the radio and gets back outside, where he regroups with Blake, Stan and a huge Marine assault force which happened to be passing by.
The Marines say that ever since the shockwaves happened, their comms have been down. With no way of contacting command for extraction, Blake decides to join the Marines, who are "heading North". At this stage, Eric mans the gun of an M3 Bradley. Taking out ISF reinforcements called into the area, the Marines come under heavy RPG fire from ISF troops on the rooftops of buildings. Several Bradley tanks are destroyed in the process, but Eric takes the RPG troops out.
The Marines explain that they are heading into Fawdon, which has been dubbed "sniper city" by many soldiers who have been there. Blake explains he'd rather not go there, so the Marines tell them to head to Monument, where they say an informant can help them. And so Eric, Stan and Blake head West towards a nearby urban area. They use the old Metro tunnels to get there, but it seems the ISF had the same idea. Taking them out, the team head forward until they come out at Monument Station, where it seems there is an ISF gathering.
They find the informant, but unfortuantly he is dead, and there appears to be many civilain casulaties around aswell. Presuming the ISF have been executing people, the team makes their way through Monument, killing many ISF troops along the way. According to ISF documents that the team finds, it turns out all these civilians had connections with a man named Arthur, but his last name has been crossed out. Blake decides that if the ISF are looking for Arthur, then so should they. The documents mention that his last known location was in Monument somewhere, so that explains why the ISF have been searching the area. They don't find Arthur, but they do find out that the ISF are fully aware of thier efforts to track him down, and so the race is on to find Arthur.The team keep moving West and find a small settlement that belongs to a Private Military Company known as "Black Watch". At first, Black Watch are hostile towards them, but don't shoot them. Black Watch explain that they, too, have no working comms and have no way of contacting anyone else. Blake explains the situation with Arthur, and Black Watch agree to help in the search, as they "have nothing else to do but hold off constant ISF attacks and jack off twenty times a day". Meyers, a Black Watch soldier, quickly makes himself known amongst the team because his uncanny ability to annoy everyone. The ISF appears to have followed the team, however, because shorty they come under attack from yet more ISF forces. Retreating out of the settlement, both Black Watch and Blake's team join forces to track down Arthur and resitablish contact with command.
Soon, they see Chinook helicopters flying overhead, and decide that they must be picking other survivors up. They follow the trail of the helicopters, but it leads them into some deep shit: they somehow end up in "Sniper City", where the other Marines went, and sure enough, they didn't make it out alive. The bodys of dead Marines carpet the streets, and after Black Watch takes a few casulaties, the team decides that they must use someone as a decoy so Eric can get inside the buildings and clear them of the snipers. A Black Watch soldier called "Ozone" volunteers for decoy, while Eric takes out the snipers. Luckily, Ozone survives, but nearly took a bullet to the head, and gets quite shaken up. They keep going and eventually get out of the city, near a beach. The helicopters are visible at the docks, so the team sprints towards them, but the ISF also saw the helicopters and are also on their trail. On the beach, chaos ensues, as a huge firefight between the Marines and their Black Watch allies and the ISF takes place. Eric is wounded heavily, and while Stan tries to help him, he too is shot and killed. Blake, Meyers and Ozone fend off the rest of the ISF forces, and drag Eric to safety. The helicopters have already left by then, and, losing all hope, the surviving men decide that there's nothing left to do but find Arthur and find out why the ISF is looking for him. And so they begin a suicide mission, to be continued in the next installment...

Multiplayer-wise, Downfall plays out like a hybrid of Call of Duty and Battlefield: running at a Call of Duty-styled-pace, but with the vastness and technological advanceness of Battlefield. Destruction is included, however is very minor. Vehicles, such as APCs, Helicopters and Jeeps have to be earned, CoD-style, but once the team in question has combined enough points to earn them, anyone on that team can use them. There is a huge amount of weapons to unlock, customize and generally kill people with, however elements such as recoil and reload times are slightly more realistic than in CoD or Battlefield. There are base classes to use if you're unimaginative, however players can create and customize their own classes as they wish. However, there are certain restictions (like not being able to use LMG's in conjunction with Shotguns). There are 4 main teams: US Marines, ISF, Rangers and IS-Shock (special forces of the ISF). Each is unique in their own way, however players can still use the same weapons, etc. that they normally would.
The maps are set in and around the North-East of England, mainly in urban-themed areas, however beaches, countrysides and even user-created maps can be made and good ones may be added to playlists. The multiplayer follows no sort of storyline, and is purely for fun, however the environments are based on the campaign. Go to multiplayer blog for more info.
Characters of the campaign:Eric Styles
At the age of 19, Pvt. Eric Styles isn't exactly the ideal soldier: he's mute, physically weak and hasn't seen much combat. As the protagonist, it's up to the player to imagine what he's thinking. Although he doesn't talk, his squadmates don't seem to mind.
Stan: Eric, you don't talk much, do you?
Eric: ...
Stanley Buthroyd
Only one year older than Eric, Stan is the squad's "joker" and has a close friendship with Eric Styles. He's physically stronger than Eric, but fails to keep his nerves under pressure. However, he can make light of most situations, even if his commanding officers hate him for it.
Wilhelm "Sarge" Blake
Tough, determined and generally a badass, Sergeant Blake is a natural team leader. He doesn't think much of Stan and Eric, but puts up with them. He takes missions very seriously, and rarely cracks a joke, but he's still the squad leader, so what he says, goes.
Blake: Stick together, team!
Mitchell J. Meyers
Meyers is part of the "Black Watch"; a privatised section of the US Army consisting mainly of soldiers who the Government feels are too good for the regular Army, but not good enough for the Rangers. As a soldier, Meyers is annoying, complains a lot and doesn't get on with anyone. However, he will still do as he's told, even if it means he has to complain about it for half an hour.
Meyers: Jesus christ, I honestly don't know why I haven't killed myself yet. You guys are complete and utter idiots.
Jason "Ozone" Harris
Another member of Black Watch, Ozone earned his nickname from his fear of ozone gases, which is why he wears a gas mask 90% of the time. He can't really communicate properly with his mask on, but somehow others can understand him perfectly fine. He is also notable for having incredibly bad luck.
Ozone: Mmmph! Mmmph mph mmmmmmph! (Shit! There's a sniper!)
James "Brony" Sampson
Sampson, while percieved by his squadmates as a "freak", is actually quite intelligent, and pretty handy with a weapon. The reason his squadmates despise him is for one reason: he made the mistake of drawing a pony on his helmet. He's constantly teased by Barnes, the squad's "bully", and meets a rather sticky end.
Stan: Hey, Sampson. I've always wanted to ask: what's with the pony on your helmet?
Sampson: C'mon, dude, ponys are awesome!
John Barnes
Corporal John Barnes is a dick: he makes fun of everyone, he gets others into bad situations, and he is very, very cocky. No suprise, then, that his teammates call him "that Fat Bastard". He's far from perfect, but makes up for it by having the largest kill count of the entire squad: over 45 confirmed kills. He wields an M60E3 light machine gun, and has a tendancy to take on masses of enemies with it, even if cover is unavailable. His cockiness costs him his life quite far on into Downfall's campaign.
Barnes: (While spraying machine gun at ISF troops) Get some, motherfuckers! GET SOME!
Timothy Higson
Just screams redshirt. A new addition to the squad, he's the FNG, and has pretty much no experience in combat whatsoever. He has an upbeat personnality, and is eager to see combat, but has no idea what an actual firefight is like, and is (briefly) teased because of it. Meets his demise fairly early on into Downfall.
Barnes: Kid, you have no idea what real fighting is like.
Stan: Yeah, we once had this incedent where one of ours got all of his limbs blown off by a single sniper. Man, it was gruesome.
Higson: Oh, jesus! I'm thinkin' twice about this now.
Barnes: (Whispering) You think he's buying all this shit?
Stan: (Whispering) Totally.
Downfall 2
Downfall 2 takes place around the same time as Downfall 1, but through the eyes of Sandy Knowles, a Ranger. Sandy is far more manly that Eric Styles in every way, and I like to think of him as a Bruce-Willis type character, but in the body of Alex Mason from Blops.
The game starts with Sandy being beaten up by some ISF cronies; presumably he's done something wrong. Then, a crazy dude with one eye slightly bigger than the other comes up to him and talks about some generic crap about revenge and stuff. It's at this point, the words "2 DAYS EARLIER" pop up on your screen, confirming that Downfall 2 won't be as good as the first.
Basically, the idea is that Downfall 2 is more of a Hollywood style shooter, with loads of explosions and crap rather than realism, a bit like CoD. What I do intend Downfall 2 to do is greatly improve the Mulitplayer of Downfall 1. I haven't put much thought into the Campaign, but it's definetly not including Eric, that's for sure. Eric returns in Downfall 3.
The Multiplayer implements many new features:
Set Classes:
A bit like BF, but with more depth, DF2 includes a reworked class system. Rather than create your own classes as you wish, DF2 makes you earn each thing for each class, so if you want to use an Assault Rifle in conjunction with a Shotgun, you'll have to work hard using both the Grunt class (assault rifles only) and the Demolitions class(shotguns only). Go to multiplayer blog for more info.
That's it...for now...until I edited it!
Downfall 3: Early plans
Eric's returning, as are Blake, Ozone and Meyers, but I'm stumped for ideas. Here's what I've got:
- It takes place 1 week after the events of Downfall 1
- Eric's slightly less of a pussy
- Meyers is just as annoying
- Ozone still can't talk properly
- Blake has facial hair now (he hasn't shaved)
- The ISF, somewhere along the way, seperate from the elite faction, the IS-Shock
- The Rangers are the secondary antagonists now
- The Marines have mostly become Scavengers (mercs who used scavanged equipment, weapons, ect.)
- The Renegade Militia are the joint main antagonists, along with the IS-Shock
- Some of the ISF have defected and have become Scavengers
- The Rangers are ordered to kill the Scavangers, because they are a threat
- The last level sees a massive assault on the Medieros Complex
- Some characters are killed off, not saying which
- All the plotholes from Downfall 1 are filled
- There's a new mode: Quarantine (sort of like infection from Halo 3, but with extra features)
- There are more guns (request some if you like!)
- There is more badass-ness, like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7P0z-VK3K0
- Bigger and better in every sense.
Downfall's Radio System
Similar to games such as GTA and Saint's Row 2, Downfall has a radio system. Hop into a vehicle and switch on the radio to hear one of the many strange choice of songs included:
Retro Radio:
Awesome-o Radio
Requests, people?
Downfall: Scavenger
Yup, recently I had yet another idea for the Downfall series, this time a piece of DLC.
Downfall: Scavenger follows the story of an unnamed Scavenger.

I vaguely remember a thread about food and dreams, but in searching only found a few from a few years ago that were either more specific or didn't have many replies. If there's out there that this should be merged to, that'd be fine.
Anyway, last night just before bed, I was catching up on some of the boards here at Chowhound, went to bed and fell asleep. I woke up a few hours later realizing that I'd been immersed (in my dream) in a very detailed thread about all of the different State, Local and Federal laws pertaining to any food item prepared with pumpkin. Each of the stated laws was linked to, and the thread went kind of like: Why does law "xxx" apply to the production of pumpkin pancakes while law "yyy" applies to the production of pumpkin waffles. It was one of those very detailed and well-researched threads, and I was sad not to get to the end of it before waking up. And no, I don't recall the username of the person who'd done all that research :-)
Does anyone else dream about Chowhound, or food in general?
ETA: and I had to get up and eat a slice of pumpkin pie after that!

By Elizabeth Weise, USA TODAY
The Food and Drug Administration lacks the staff, funding and enforcement authority needed to protect the U.S. food supply in a post-9/11 world, said Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., at a hearing Tuesday on Capitol Hill.
The FDA is "broken," and outbreaks in fresh produce have doubled since 1998, he said at a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee hearing.
Food contamination has been in the public spotlight in the last year with four major human food outbreaks and at least two in pet food. Last fall officials traced a nationwide E. coli outbreak to contaminated spinach processed by Natural Selections LLC. Three people died and nearly 200 others were sickened. Soon thereafter two separate E. coli outbreaks in lettuce sickened many others.
In February, Peter Pan and Great Value brands of peanut butter drew a nationwide recall after a salmonella outbreak. More than 400 people were made ill, and the recall cost manufacturer ConAgra Foods Inc. between $50 million and $60 million.
And finally, in March, Menu Foods recalled 60 million cans of dog and cat food after the deaths of 16 pets, mostly cats, that had eaten products that were made with wheat gluten imported from China contaminated with the chemical melamine.
"It simply beggars belief" that during a food-borne illness outbreak, the government's hands are tied and we must rely on industry to recall the product, said Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Wash.
Americans need binding standards, Inslee said. "It is not an accident that this is the 20th time in a decade that we've had" illnesses related to leafy greens, he said.
At the hearing, Terri Marshall of Louisiana told the story of her elderly mother who kept a jar of Peter Pan peanut butter next to her bedside so she could dip in and get a little more nutrition throughout the day. That peanut butter turned out to be contaminated with salmonella and her mother became severely ill — but because the family was not aware that the cause was salmonella in the peanut butter, she took the jar with her to the hospital and continued to eat it even while being treated.
Melamine, a fertilizer and raw ingredient in a type of plastic, is very high in nitrogen. Added to wheat gluten or other grain-based products, it could fool testers into believing that the product had higher protein levels that it truly had, because protein testing in grain is done by testing nitrogen levels.
Steve Miller, president of ChemNutra, the Las Vegas, Nevada company which imported the wheat gluten that was contaminated with melamine, said a similar event occurred "about three decades ago."
At that time, wheat gluten "was adulterated with urea, another nitrogen-intensive additive, which had at the time become inexpensive enough to economically use to fool the protein testing," he said.
Since then wheat gluten has been tested for urea, but not for melamine.
"Were it not for the previously unknown toxicity in cats and dogs, the scam would have worked," said Paul Henderson, president of Menu Foods Income Fund, which purchased the wheat gluten from ChemNutra.

ZION NATIONAL PARK, Utah (AP) A man fell to his death from a popular hiking trail in Zion National Park, the second fatality in the park this week, officials said.
Barry Goldstein, 53, of St. Louis, fell Friday afternoon while coming down the Angels Landing trail. Search and rescue crews found Goldstein's body several hundred feet from the trail, park spokesman David Eaker said.
Witnesses said Goldstein was near the edge of the cliff when he suddenly dropped off, plunging hundreds of feet. The hike is described as strenuous with steep trails.

Target: President Obama
Goal: Ask the president not to give Shell any new Arctic drilling permits for 2013, given that the conditions of Shell's rigs have caused concern about potential oil spills in the Arctic.
Currently, the Interior Department is conducting a review of Shell's drilling plans. Some members have expressed concern over, in Interior Secretary Ken Salazar's words, Shell's "series of mishaps." On February 11th, 2013, Shell announced that it will be towing two Arctic drilling rigs to Asia for repairs. Drilling in the Arctic is a tremendous gamble for the environment, and the last thing our oceans need is another dangerous oil spill. But many of Shell's rigs are looking to be high risk prospects: one rig has seen its hull and electrical systems damaged, while another, Noble Discoverer, may require a full engine replacement, not to mention the damage from fire that it has received. Should aging and damaged rigs really be operating in the Arctic?
The Center for American Progress has reported on the extensive dangers of this off-shore Arctic drilling, comparing the potential threat to that of the BP oil spill in 2010. But unlike the BP oil spill, an oil spill in the Arctic would not be mitigated by infrastructure: according to the Center, "There are no U.S. Coast Guard stations north of the Arctic Circle, and we currently operate just one functional icebreaking vessel. Alaska's tiny ports and airports are incapable of supporting an extensive and sustained airlift effort. The region even lacks such basics as paved roads and railroads." Facing such a lack of infrastructure and a region known for dangerous and unpredictable weather, it would be nearly impossible to deliver the necessary supplies and personnel in order to respond to any large-scale emergency.
Sign this petition to urge President Obama not to issue any more permits to Shell for off-shore drilling in 2013. With all the dangerous conditions that have been outlined above, there's no reason to give Shell any more green lights on drilling.
Dear President Obama,
In stating that you would respond to the threat of climate change, you have given environmentalists hope that you will advocate firm restrictions with regards to potential dangers such as off-shore Arctic drilling. Currently, the Interior Department's reviews of Shell's rigs gives us reason to believe that Shell is not safely prepared to be drilling in the precarious Arctic region, and if Shell continues to receive drilling permits, something as catastrophic as another giant oil spill could occur.
The Center for American Progress has reported many reasons to be concerned about the prospect of Shell rushing to drill using rigs which are damaged or old, while drilling in an area without the necessary infrastructure to combat a disastrous oil spill. For the sake of the environment, please do not grant Shell any new permits in 2013, and please restrict other companies from drilling in the Arctic until such time as safety measures have been better accounted for.

In 1993, some Togolese living outside of their native land, initiated the creation of a Network to mobilize compatriots of the Diaspora and support the internal democratic movement in its struggle to bring forth democracy and a lawful state in Togo.
This idea made its way and was favourably accepted by many associations in the Togolese Diaspora.
The Canadian Togolese Community (CTC) then took the initiative to organize an international seminar from which sprung the beginning of the Network of the Togolese Diaspora. To do this, it created a committee CTC-Network to take care of this project.
In November 1994, the committee presents a plan of action to the Central Executive Office of the CTC. The same month, an informative letter on the idea of the Network was sent to the associations of the Togolese Diaspora in the Antilles, England, Germany, Belgium, the Ivory Coast, Benin, Burkino Faso, the United States of America, France, Switzerland and Canada.
As of January 1995, positive responses were received from all corners of the world. An orientation text and a program of an international seminar on Togo from which would be created the Network, were sent to associations of the Togolese Diaspora.
In March, 1995, begins the operations for the seminar with work sessions conducted with the associations.
In April, 1995, the Central Executive Office of the CTC convokes a meeting to establish different committees for the organization of the seminar.
On May 22nd, 1995, the first delegations of the Diaspora's associations arrive.
From May 26th to 28th groups work on the theme: Democracy, the state of Rights and Development, Perspectives on the Future of Togo, in preparation for the International Seminar on Togo.
On May 28th, 1995, the seminar begins with the discussions of the work groups which creates the Togolese Diaspora for the Democracy (DIASTODE), an external group dedicated to the promotion and defense of democracy in Togo.
The history of a country is continuously made and written every day. In the paraphrased words of Frantz Fanon "Every generation must, with relatively clear vision, discover its mission and either fulfill or betray it."
After enormous sacrifices made by the Togolese people, it is time to analyze the situation in order to see how the Diaspora could contribute to the future of Togo, democratically, economically, socially and culturally.
Most Togolese around the world share their belief in democratic principles. This was demonstrated by the moral, political and financial contribution that the Togolese Diaspora brought to the Togolese people during the difficult process of democratization in the beginning of the 1990s.
It is necessary to support the democratic ardor amongst the Togolese abroad but, equally important, to better use their diverse talents, the solidarity by which they benefited in their host country to reinforce the internal plan, the fight for democracy in Togo.
To do this, it is necessary to work at a more structured level to mobilize Togolese around the world through a Network including diverse regional associations in Africa, Europe, North America and the world.
The 28th of May, 1995, we, the Associations of the Togolese Diaspora dispersed to the four corners of the world, reunite in a General Assembly coinciding with the International Seminar on Togo in Hull, Quebec, Canada.
– Considering that we are in the era of the global village
– Considering that the Togolese Diaspora, dispersed in diverse countries around the world and regrouped in Associations in hosting countries, can and must work for the political, economical, social and cultural development of Togo.
– Considering that the solidarity and the concentration between the Diaspora's associations contributes to inform and affect public opinion in the hosting countries on questions concerning human rights, the advent of a lawful state and democracy in Togo;
have decided freely to create a Network called: The Network of the Togolese Diaspora for the Democracy (DIASTODE)
of which the ideals are:
– to reunite associations of goodwill, adhering and sharing the fundamental philosophy and objectives of the DIASTODE without distinction:
– to promote solidarity amongst the Togolese Community abroad
– to promote cooperation between the Togolese Community, the African Community and the International Community
The present declaration constitutes the essential preamble of the statutes of the DIASTODE.

Dont get me wrong, the phone itself is 4.7 as whole but considering the 'on screen' capacitive buttons (back, home, etc) along with the border line menu buttons (phone, mail, message and camera) the screen size available comes to around 4.3" or 4.5" believe it or not.
I do believe you guys will know what am saying but is it really that way or the actual screen will be the whole 4.7 when you use the phone?

HP's PRINTER DIVISION GETS JAMMED !
HP's PRINTER DIVISION GETS JAMMED !
2008-06-18 at 11:14:56 am #20204
Turnaround At H-P's Printer Division Gets Jammed
SAN FRANCISCO With consumer printer sales softening dramatically, HP has made a big investment to change its printer division's business model. It no longer stresses selling lots of inexpensive printers. Instead, HP's been focusing on getting HP customers to print more pages through a variety of services HP continues to conjure up.Analysts are so far not persuaded that the changes are doing much to spur growth. They hold that the division's revenue will grow by only about 5% in HP's fiscal year, which would mean it would come in lower than HP's most optimstic growth projections and will have fallen for the third consecutive year."Printer sales keep stagnating," said Shaw Wu, an analyst at American Technology Research.HP is confident it is on the right path, despite the thoughts to the contrary from Wall Street. Senior Vice President Vyomesh Joshi reiterated in a recent interview that the new focus will yield an additional $1.5 billion in printer division sales this year."There are 50 trillion pages printed every year, our page market share is only 1.3%," Joshi said. "We still ship about 40% of the printers every year. But when you think about all the pages we could print and don't, there's tremendous opportunities for services and software, and not just ink and printers."In general, the kinds of Web-based services or outsourced printing jobs taht HP is focusing on offer better margins than sales of hardware products like printers.
Given the importance of HP's printer division to its overall health — it contributed 40% of its operating profit and 26% of its sales last quarter — investors seem leery of the printer division's turnaround so far. That has helped to send HP shares down nearly 7% this year, compared with a 4.3% drop on the Morgan Stanley Technology Index, though the company has reported record results for this year so far.To be sure, there are printer-centric prongs in Joshi's plan. His division continues to invest in selling more printers in emerging markets. HP is also continuing to push sales of printers for digital-camera enthusiasts looking to save a buck or two by printing out photos themselves. Meanwhile, it is selling higher-speed printers to the publishing industry and continues to market printers to consumers.But the shift from an emphasis on selling printers remains paramount, given how consumer printer sales in general have been fading, thus chipping away at a fundamental part of HP's business.
'Pages' Not Printers
HP's printer division has, for years, profited largely by selling inexpensive printers and then charging a lot for ink refills, with the printer sales fostering other areas of its business.As long as printer sales remained strong, HP could count on its cash cow to provide a lion's share of the profits and sales.Starting last year though, printer sales at HP have been sliding with a maturing market to blame. Of late, consumers and enterprises — pinched by higher prices for gasoline, energy and commodities — have cut back spending.Attempts to cash in on the digital-camera craze, by providing advanced printers to make photo-quality prints at home, hasn't panned out.Now, HP wants its customers to think of printing as a service to be provided to them without having to invest in printers or cartridges. Rather than focusing on selling printers, the new strategy has HP doing things like offering to outsource entire printing jobs. HP argues that businesses can lop nearly a third off what they would usually spend on their printing jobs.As a consequence, Web-based features like Snapfish, HP's online photo-printing service, have gotten new marketing muscle and been incorporated in "end-to-end" photo services that HP is offering.HP is also focused on getting larger enterprises to do more of their own printing in-house. That dovetails with HP's $1.4 billion investment in providing industrial-strength printing assets and services for professional publishers or small business.Overall, HP's target is to gain a bigger share of the $21 billion worth of sign printing done each year, or the $6 billion spent to create packaging or the $12 billion spent on printing direct-marketing materials.
The new emphasis has helped turn what HP calls its "graphics arts" arm into a new star of HP's printing group. It now generates about 10% of the division's revenue.
The shift brings about a completely new breed of competition for HP. In addition to Fujifilm Holdings Corp. (FUJI) and Lexmark International Inc. (LXK), HP's push into graphic services has been met with stiff resistance by incumbents Xerox Corp. (XRX) and Eastman Kodak Co. (EK).HP Chief Executive Mark Hurd thinks there is some reason for optimism. At the very least, his attitude has veered quite dramatically in just three months. On a conference call to discuss HP's latest results May 20, Hurd said printer- division sales "actually looked pretty strong. We've done a good job on our channel inventory."Yet later on, in addressing another inkjet question, he had a more cautionary approach. "There's good numbers in there, and there's some numbers that we wished were better," he said.In February, after HP's printing division reported a 5% drop in inkjet sales, Hurd could't contain his disappointment. "To be very blunt, I'm not real happy about it," Hurd said.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin will undergo a precautionary MRI exam Friday on his sore right hamstring.
"Everything seems OK except when he really opens it up," coach Ken Whisenhunt said Thursday. "We're going to get him checked out with an MRI just to make sure there's nothing going on in there that we don't know about. But I think it's getting closer and hopefully by this weekend we'll be able to really test it out."
Meanwhile, Whisenhunt said he was awaiting results of tests conducted on the injured left knee of starting center Al Johnson. The injury either will be treated through rehabilitation or will have to be repaired with arthroscopic surgery.
Johnson missed two games with a knee injury last season.

text: Posted February 16, 2013 Hey we all make mistakes in life, I hope the guy truely gets himself on track. It's possible, but I wouldn't bet on it. As you probably know, there are some people in the world who "just don't get it" (and likely never will). Four of said folk have been mentioned in this thread: Vince Young, Titus Young, JaMarcus Russell and Ryan Leaf. Each one had the unfortunate combo of world class physical talent in their bodies but faulty wiring upstairs. Whether it was inability to control their emotions, poor work ethic, just plain immaturity or whatever, they just didn't have what it takes. I could also throw in Jeff George as another prime example in that same mold. Some guys just never grow up, and it's always a shame. When that much talent has such great opportunity and for whatever reason it all winds up going to waste, it's tragic. Sadly, it's also fairly common.

text: This article is about the inator. You may be looking for the song. The machine before Ferb's upgrade. The Sith-Inator is a machine created by Darthenshmirtz in order to bolster his rank within the Galactic Empire. By harnessing the power of the dark side of the Force, the machine can fire a ray that turns living beings into powerful Sith warriors. Because Darthenshmirtz is not Force-sensitive, the machine is powered by dark Force energy accumulated from items touched by Darth Vader and thrown in the trash. Darthenshmirtz plans to use it on himself so that he can be Force-sensitive in nature, but to ensure that it would work, he attempts to test it out on a carbonite-trapped Perry the Rebelpus. However, Jedi Ferb ends up taking the shot by accident, and is thus transformed into a ruthless Sith warrior. As Darthenshmirtz leaves to collect more items touched by Vader to power, Ferb (now going as Darth Ferb) notices the Sith-Inator, and decides to use it to create an army of Sith warriors. To that end, Darth Ferb modifies it by adding it more lasers; along with replacing the need for detritus to power it, possibly using his own mastery of the Force to directly fuel the machine. Phineas looking for his brother stumbles across the device as he felt its presence through the Force and encountered Ferb who offered for Phineas to join with him or die. Refusing, Ferb engaged his brother in a lightsaber duel. Phineas is put on the defensive due to being the weaker of the two and was eventually defeated and had his Lightsaber crushed by Ferb using the Force.Ferb activated the Sith-Inator declaring that his brother now had no choice but to join him. Before the Sith-Inator could fire however, his step-sister Candace enters the fray by firing upon Ferb, disorienting the Force Sensitive briefly enough, angered by this distraction Ferb leaps towards the rogue Stormtrooper and easily performs Sun djem to destroy her blaster rifle, distracted long enough; Ferb notices as Phineas is charging towards the Sith-Inator to destroy it, only for Ferb to Force Leap to block his path. Candace creates a makeshift pair of bolos by using cut blocks of Carbonite loaded into black socks that were meant for Darth Vader, easily distractingFerb long enough for Phineas to destroy the Sith-Inator by throwing his broken lightsaber hilt into the machines self-destruct port, while Darthenshmirtz laments from his semi-frozen prison that he really should have Ray-Shielded that port shortly before the machine detonates. With the Sith-Inator destroyed Ferb quickly reverted back to his normal self. Retrieved from "http://phineasandferb.wikia.com/wiki/Sith-Inator?oldid=636137" Ad blocker interference detected!

Hello All,
After upgrading my work desktop i got most of it working but i can't seem to find the Exchange 2003 connector for Active Directory for windows 7 does anyone know where it is?

I don't follow your question.
Mar 7, 2011 at 5:40 UTC
I recently upgraded my desktop to windows 7 previously i had been running windows xp.
I have installed the admin tools in windows 7 and am able to connect to our AD server and add/delete/manage users etc however i can't assign a email address to a user as i don't have the AD Exchange Connector, the one we have for XP dosen't work and i can't find the one if there is one at all for Windows 7.
Sorry for the confusion.
Mar 7, 2011 at 5:49 UTC
I don't think they ever updated the Exchange 2003 ADUC plugin for Windows Vista/7 as Exchange 2003 is no longer actively updated.
Mar 7, 2011 at 5:53 UTC
Oh dear...i wounder what one is to do!
Mar 7, 2011 at 5:56 UTC
Connect remotely to your DC/Exchange server and use ADUC from there? Or run XP in a VM on your desktop (if you have the right version then you could use Windows 7's XP Mode which would let you integrate the ADUC right into your Win7 Start menu.
Mar 7, 2011 at 7:19 UTC
It really isn't a great practice to login to a workstation as an AD admin anyway, if you're compromised, it is going to be a big problem. Sure, they might install a keylogger and figure out the AD admin password that you type when you log in via RDP or other tools, but it is still another layer.
Mar 7, 2011 at 7:25 UTC
@David1618 i am just doing as i am told 1st Line support has no control over the decision in which we connect to said server.
Mar 7, 2011 at 7:34 UTC
@David1618 i am just doing as i am told 1st Line support has no control over the decision in which we connect to said server.
Well, you don't sound like a big fan of the policy anyway. Given the predicament, they'll either have to downgrade you or change your access method.
Mar 7, 2011 at 7:36 UTC
They will need to do something because at the moment i can't connect at all....
Mar 7, 2011 at 7:40 UTC
If you run Ultimate or Enterprise editions of Win7 then you should have access to XP Mode which should let you load a copy of XP in a VM that integrates into Windows 7, you can then install the ADUC components and access it through this. Of course now you are stuck managing both Win 7 *and* XP which isn't ideal.
Another solution would be to use something like Citrix, we used to use this at my old helpdesk job and it meant that we could access ADUC + Exchange from anywhere, even Windows 7, of course this would be an added cost but it can be used elsewhere within the business (if you aren't already using it).
Mar 7, 2011 at 7:41 UTC
They will need to do something because at the moment i can't connect at all....
Surely this sort of issue should have been spotted before any migration to Windows 7 began?
Mar 7, 2011 at 11:36 UTC
So if they won't let you log into the server directly, I think your options are:
1. Downgrade to XP
2. Install XP in a VM (Virtual PC that comes with Win7, VirtualBox, etc) and install the Exchange Management Tools there.
3. Upgrade to Exchange 2010 (I'd push for this one :D )

A Hammonton man employed as a high school marching band director has been charged with the sexual assault of a 16-year-old student, acting Atlantic County Prosecutor Jim McClain announced Thursday.
Jason Koenig, 26, who resigned as band director April 23, is charged with official misconduct, sexual assault, criminal sexual contact and endangering the welfare of children.
The state alleges that Koenig committed these crimes against a 16-year-old Hammonton High School student in November and December 2013 while he was an aide and marching band director.
"He has an attorney who is aware of the charges, and we are anticipating he will turn himself in shortly," Hammonton police Chief Robert Jones said. Koenig had not turned himself in as of 8:30 p.m.
Hammonton School Board President Joe Giralo said the full nature of the allegations has not been made clear to the school administration, but he believes the involved student is a female.
On Thursday night, about 75 Hammonton High School band parents and students met with school district and Board of Education officials.
"Their main concern was how to go forward with the band," Giralo said. "We are moving forward with everything."
Giralo said the allegations made him ill.
"It sickens me as a father of teenage daughters," he said. "I'm always concerned about the welfare and safety of every one of the students, but when you have children that age it really makes your hair stand on end."
He said the district is making counseling available to any student who needs help dealing with feelings about the allegations and Koenig's resignation a day before the spring band trip.
He also said all staff members, whether teachers or aides such as Koenig, are provided with training about avoiding improper behavior toward students, and that Koenig had passed a criminal background check before being hired about four years ago.
"This topic is dealt with over and over and over," said Giralo of the district's anti-sexual harassment policy. "You can have the best policy in the world, but if people aren't going to follow it, they aren't going to follow it."
For about three years Koenig was assistant band director, and had been director about a year.
Michele Samanic, of Hammonton, said Thursday night she had discussed the allegations with her daughter, a junior and a band member.
"She's dealing with it very maturely," Samanic said. "She's handling it very well."
Samanic does not think her daughter will have trouble trusting adults after hearing the allegations.
"She knows that if she hears something, she needs to tell someone — a trusted adult," Samanic said. "She also knows to be careful not to spread rumors."
Most parents did not want to be interviewed about their concerns or reaction to the meeting, but there seemed to be a general feeling of relief that Middle School Band Director Tim White had agreed to act as interim band director.
Giralo said all of the activities planned for summer, which include performances in parades and practice to get ready for the fall, will go on as planned.
Koenig was also the director of the jazz ensemble, Giralo said.
Staff Writer Braden Campbell contributed to this report.

Noise reduction in 3D noncollinear parametric amplifier
- First Online:
- Received:
- Revised:
- Citations
- 270 Downloads
We analytically find an approximate Bloch–Messiah reduction of a noncollinear parametric amplifier pumped with a focused monochromatic beam. We consider type I phase matching. The results are obtained using a perturbative expansion and scaled to the high-gain regime. They allow for a straightforward maximization of the signal gain and minimization of the parametric fluorescence noise. We find the fundamental mode of the amplifier, which is an elliptic Gaussian defining the optimal seed beam shape. We conclude that the output of the amplifier should be stripped of higher-order modes, which are approximately Hermite–Gaussian beams. Alternatively, the pump waist can be adjusted such that the amount of noise produced in the higher-order modes is minimized.

Editor's Note: The law protects and encourages Ripoff Report to make appropriate edits to Reports posted by third parties. Ripoff Report may use that editorial power to post findings from a court of law about the subject matter of Reports. In some cases, a Court may find that specific statements made by the author of a Ripoff Report are false and defamatory. When both sides of a dispute appear and contest the facts of a situation in court it is believed that the findings of the court are generally reliable and fair. Out of respect for the courts and the judicial process, Ripoff Report, upon request, may post that kind of finding with special prominence, and in some cases, may even redact the information specifically identified by the court as false from the original Report. In this instance, the Court Order received by Ripoff Report was specific enough regarding the statements made, and as such, the offending language has been (((REDACTED BASED ON FINDINGS VIA COURT ORDER))) by Ripoff Report. [continued below]....
I went to work for Marketing concepts owned by Pani Verma. I was told in the first interview that my base salary was $35,000 plus commissions. (My main concern with any position that I was offered, was knowing that there was a certain amount coming to me being that I was new to sales)
I was taken out on a "2nd round" interview after meeting with Pani Verma. I enjoyed my day on the field with the person that was chosen to take me out. With what was said in the first interview, and what I saw in the second, I knew I would be good at it, so i took the offer. I was selling office supplies for the company they represent, Quill office supply.. Quill is owned by Staple which is why people think Marketing Concepts or Team MC is a big and legit company.
As the weeks went by, I noticed that my paychecks were never above $200. At that point I asked Pani about the base salary that i was told about, he (the first of many times) finagled his way around the question, stated something I would like, and moved on to a new topic. [continued below]....
Report Attachments:
..... I had to drive my own vehicle everyday with people packed inside, and was not compensated for anything. I went on several "business trips" that I had to pay for gas, food and lodging. Pani gave us unrealistic goals to hit to be reimbursed 50% of our lodging. (which we never were reimbursed for)
When payday came, (if it was on time) there was always a line to talk to Pani because of how low the checks were. He would always print out some break out form that he made, and that showed that orders were cancelled or did not go thru. However, being that I knew some of the customers I sold, there was verification of the oder being received and paid for.
Quill is a campaign ran through a broker called Cydcor. However, when you run a campaign thru a broker you have a no compete clause, and can not run another campaign thru a different broker. Well in Pani's case that didn't apply? (((REDACTED BASED ON FINDINGS VIA COURT ORDER))) (give them props because under Pani that should be impossible or they had money saved) by taking on campaigns ran by broker Credico, telling them that it was theirs to take over. This never happened and Pani reaped the money that came from all outside campaign while Cydcor had no idea.
It gets better. Pani also has several employees that have been kicked off of the Quill campaign but they just call their orders in under former representatives names and get paid..isn't that illegal? Won't the former employees have the tax liability?
Well Cydcor found out and did an Audit on Pani by coming in and watching over his office for a day. Problem was is he was told about when they were coming. So all employees on different campaigns, or under an alias name, were to go on a "business trip" or work from home.
Lastly, Pani sent two of his best guys to New Jersey to run the Verizon Fios B2B campaign which is a huge hit up north. (an assistant manager ready to open, and a leading corporate trainer) They were promised an office, money, and a company. When nothing was turning out the way it was supposed (which was promised to be within a month) 3 months later questions were asked. When this was brought to his attention they were then fired and withheld from all 4 remaining paychecks, in addition to the assistant managers corp savings account... Illegal Right?
Some how Pani Verma thinks he is invisible, and can do whatever he likes. He is selfish and only out for himself. If you for some reason choose to work for him you will lose out on money you EARNED, while having to work 10+ hrs a day (when only half of that time you are actually able to make money.
I hope this information saves other from making a bad decision. DO NOT WORK FOR PANI VERMA
(((REDACTED BASED ON FINDINGS VIA COURT ORDER))). All of this is done with the full knowledge of his promoting owner Raf Diaz. Please stay clear of Team MC aka Marketing concepts and the owner

#1 UPDATE Employee ..inside information
Court Order against false reports
SUBMITTED: Thursday, February 20, 2014POSTED: Thursday, February 20, 2014
To whom it may concern:
Unfortunately from time to time, an employee is terminated from an organization due to fraudulent activity, and his/her only retribution is to post false statements online in order to detriment the company. (We here at TeamMC would never go as far as reporting to the public as to how this fraud was committed)
While we have nothing personal against said employees, when false statements are posted in order to harm our organization and its employees, we must set the recordstraight. This case was set forth in front of a judge and all statements were deemed FALSE, DEFAMATORY and in bad taste in a COURT OF LAW.
Although our case was won outright against these defendants, this website has refused to remove these false postings as required by law.
Therefore, we must take action to show any readers of these malicious statements that they are simply not true.
Nowadays, anybody can post their OPINIONS of their employer online, and we respect their right to do so. But when it goes further than that, it becomes slander and tortious interference, which are both ILLEGAL.
Please see the court order below, which proves the falsehoods of these statements. We hope this provides you, the reader a factual basis as opposed to just an opinion from an ex, disgruntled (and highly imaginative) employee.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
