the cable is not flexible. As the other review says, the cable retains the shape it held in the packaging for so long. I can't use them on a pedal board. If you don't have Velcro, these cables can lift a pedal off the floor. Not useful. connectors are huge. Solder connection has held together.

These have stiff cables and large, ungainly connectors. The plastic connectors are not as nice as they look in the picture; I assumed they were made of metal. I've found it difficult to keep my pedal board neat using these. The cables even still are holding their shape from the packaging, which is nothing like the nice U shape in the picture. I can't recommend these for use on a pedal board. The only advantage these have might be the 20awg gauge vs the more common 24 gauge, though I won't claim to hear a difference.

NEW YORK (Jun. 29)
Over eleven hundred teenagers and collegians have left or are leaving for Israel within the next week to participate in summer work-study projects conducted by the Jewish Agency there, it was announced by Mrs. Rose L. Halprin, chairman of the Jewish Agency-American Section, prior to her departure today for Jerusalem.
"Implementation of these programs, regularly sponsored every year by the various departments of the Jewish Agency-American Section and the American Zionist Youth Foundation," Mrs. Halprin said, "has this year been handicapped by the situation in the Middle East and the American ban on travel which was lifted only last week.
"For every youngster going, there are five additional boys and girls who want to go but who cannot be accepted because of limitations that have developed in Israel as a result of recent developments. Both those who are going, and those who sought to go, give striking evidence of the desire of American youth to serve Israel in this time of crisis. The programs, generally designed to feature study and travel, will this year emphasize service to Israel. We are very proud of our American youth, and their parents for their expression of solidarity with the people of Israel."

Guardianship is a fairly complicated legal proceeding but can be necessary and beneficial in the right circumstances. Essentially, guardianship removes certain rights and responsibilities from one person and gives them to another. The primary reason for using guardianships is to protect the health and safety of people who cannot handle their own affairs because of incapacity. The courts will not order a guardianship just because you disagree with the decisions that someone is making. Generally, the courts are very hesitant to take away rights from people, and there are some very technical requirements that are strictly followed. Hopefully this post will help you understand the basics of guardianship (remember, each court may have some specific rules or procedures, so this information may not be applicable or accurate in all situations).
Terminology. Before we get into guardianship, let me explain a few terms that will be important to understanding what I am talking about. "Ward" describes the person who is under the guardianship and "proposed ward" is used to describe the person before the guardianship is final. "Guardian" is the person to whom the power is given over the ward and "of the estate" or "of the person" are added onto "guardian" to distinguish which role the guardian is responsible for. "Least restrictive alternative" is a legal phrase which describes the court's effort to consider all the alternatives to guardianship first. I plan on discussing these alternatives in another post at a later time, but basically if there are other legal methods to accomplishing the goal, the court typically dismisses the guardianship case.
How to Initiate. There are at least 3 ways to start a guardianship case:
What is Required. In most cases, the court will require a document from a licensed doctor called a "Physician's Certificate of Medical Exam". This document explains the medical need for guardianship and is required by many courts. Part of the complexity of guardianship is the term "incapacity" which is required to successfully obtain a guardianship. There are several ways to get this document completed by a doctor, but HIPAA issues can create some problems.
Rights that are Limited. The court can remove many of the ward's rights, including the right to vote, the right to drive, the right to make medical or financial decisions, the right to make gifts, the right to marry, and many others. The key thing to remember is that the court is always seeking "the least restrictive alternative", so the court generally prefers to allow the ward to retain as many rights as possible while making certain the ward is safe.
Person vs Estate. Guardianship is technically divided into 2 different components – estate and person. The value or size of the proposed ward's estate influences whether these components are separated or combined. The guardian of the estate handles the financial decision making of the ward. This can be a very complicated job, particularly when trusts are involved. The guardian of the estate is required to file annual accountings with the court. The guardian of the person will handle everything non-financial, which specifically includes medical decisions. There are some limitations on what medical decisions a guardian of the person can make, but there is broad discretion typically.
Cost. Simply put, guardianship is expensive. This is one of the reasons the court looks for the least restrictive alternative. When a proposed ward cannot pay, the court may appoint a guardian ad litem or attorney ad litem to help with the case, but the court will generally use the ward's funds first. In addition to the legal professionals required, medical and social professionals are used which increases the cost of guardianship.

DSOGaming writes: "On Alan Wake's official FB page, Remedy has revealed that it will be sharing more greater news about what they've been up to."
I don't have enough "YES"s in me. :3
Remedy needs to make a new IP, the Alan Wake games just cant seem to deliver. The first Alan Wake was far too repetitive and monotonous, then American Nightmare was a step forward but quite a few steps back at the same time. I think it was worth trying something different with the Alan Wake IP but it's time to try to create a new, better IP
I'll have to respectfully disagree. I think there is a great premise here, it just needs to be crafted better.
What if Naughty Dog stopped after the first Uncharted? Or Sega after the first Sonic? Most great franchises don't hit stride until at least the second game in the series.
Alan Wake was probably my favorite game of 2010, it had a great story and didn't rely on gore to get cheap scares. It had some of the best lighting, story and atmospheres I've ever played in a game. American Nightmare was nice to hold people over, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I want a true Alan Wake sequel almost more than any other game.
Microsoft signed a publishing deal with Remedy, so I guess it's totally up to them if we get a new game, but all signs point to yes, I kind of hope Alan Wake 2 is a launch title for the next Xbox.
As someone who has 100% completed Alan Wake and American Nightmare on the Xbox 360, anything new involving such a innovative and fun franchise is welcomed.
I also see people complain because the world wasn't fully opened, I don't understand the reason for that, a lot of ideas are scraped and almost every top franchise out right now is linear as can be. Alan Wake was a try cinematic horror experience. Nuff said.
I think they should still continue with the Alan Wake franchise but at the same time they should of divided the team so one could of done Max Payne 3 while they start AW2 and once Max Payne 3 was out they second team would of started on a new IP.
I still think they should at least see how it would do released on the PS3. Heavey Rain is a story driven game and that did quite well, give Alan Wake a shot.
Uncharted and Sonic both came out firing on their first titles.
I disagree with what you said about AW: AN.
Very little good came from it and some of the main mechanics were made worse.
The new flashlight system for example made batteries WORTHLESS for 99% of the game. Especially considering we would be carrying something like 20 (someone correct me if I'm wrong but you carry a LOT of them which is my point).
Go back to the slow recharge flashlight with lots of charge in it.
I could go on with EVERYTHING else but I really dont want to make a wall O text so I'll leave it there :3
that's different. Uncharted Drakes fortune is a much better game than Alan Wake is. Alan wake is far too repetitive. It was Uncharted that basically changed action adventure shooters. The First Sonic game was amongst the best Sonic game I have not idea what you're talking about. Did you even play their first Sonic game? I highly doubt it.
Alan Wake had a confusing story that made zero sense. All of the things that happens around him including the darkness was because he didn't finish his novel. All entirely because of a book he never finished writing. It was innovative at first but then you kept on doing the same thing over and over and over and over again, it's just plain annoying later and makes you not want to finish the game, despite me actually finishing it. Uncharted Drakes fortune had an amazing compelling story with smooth gameplay and amazing graphics for it's time. There was nothing like it before. Uncharted 2 is being one of the best of all time. Uncharted 3 let me down a bit :/ sorry to say. How do you think The last of us will do? The main team that made uncharted 2 is making the last of us and it will deliver possibly GOTY and it's their first new I.P.
Alan Wake was a handful of Exclusives that was a slow cooker for MS. It went and sold a million copies eventually.
You can't call it quits after the first game? AW wasn't perfect but MS has a beautiful thing going on with this particular IP. This is MS answer to the narrative single player experience which they lacked before.
Its rumored Next gen Xbox will have another narrative driven single player action experience. I can't wait for Alan Wake 2 and see what they have in store for E3 and next gen consoles.
"Can't deliver"??? The series is good... the only thing it hasn't delivered on is Halo and Gears sales numbers. Just because it hasn't sold as well as those other XBOX titles, it doesn't mean it's not a great IP. I say more Alan Wake... I will buy it and play it. I'm all for new IPs too, but MS needs to use some of their other studios for that.
The short films before its release were the only breath taking moments I spent with the game. I mean what a waste of potential. In all honestly it was nothing more then another Perfect Dark 360 mess up. Next time around I hope they start fresh and get back to what they originally tried to make. Alan Wake was the game that killed it for me especially since it released the same day as RDR which was a masterpiece. Bungie claiming Reach was open world and AW turning out to be linear and just stupid repetitive just killed it.
Would loove an Alan Wake sequel for the 720.
Easily one of the best horror game experiences this entire gen.
It's unfortunate there was such a rocky road for the game to debut, only to be met at launch by a smoking hot Red Dead Redemption.
But a next gen sequel could be the 'remedy' the doctor ordered for this talented team. (Silly pun intended)
The only thing i don't understand is this: why would MS care to publish another AW game when they couldn't even be bothered to change the release date of the original so that it wouldn't coincide with RDR? I never understand that strategy.
To the people saying that AW isn't that great cuz it's "repetitive" but then defend Uncharted as being "innovative..." ....LOL! hypocrites.
I will admit though. AW could have used some good puzzles. Not that i'm saying Uncharted had good puzzles...they solved themselves and were just there to extend the length of the game, not make you think. Same with the platforming.
@ The Real Spy
'The only thing i don't understand is this: why would MS care to publish another AW game when they couldn't even be bothered to change the release date of the original so that it wouldn't coincide with RDR? I never understand that strategy.'
You got it mixed up..
Alan wake already had it's release date and that was after all the delays.
Rockstar are the ones who changed th RDR date to coincide with Alan Wake.
So as you can imagine..you have niche single horror game vs. Mainstream Rockstar powerhouse that endeed up being the Game of The Year and also was loved on Xbox Live for it's multiplayer..it didn't go too well for Alan.
They spent a decade making an okay game. Of course they're going to just sequel it to recoup time/money.
You must of hated Uncharted then as that was far to repetitive, yet got GOTY
Point is all games are repetitive.
Xbox doesn't have many great exclusives but Alan Wake is a gem, I'd easily put it 2nd after halo..start a new ip after only 1 aaa entry? No way, the Gears of War and Fable devs need to do that if anyone under Microsoft. Gears is beyond stale and never changing and Fable took a step in the wrong direction for sure. There's a lot of potential in Alan Wake, I hope to see sequels on 720.
Agreed, Alan wake has cheap gameplay and graphics but story was good. IMO .
Agreed, Alan wake has cheap gameplay and graphics but story was good. IMO ...
Alan wake is one of the best new IP'S this gen.
Alan Wake needs a better console for a more solid open world experience as intended originally. Alan Wake has a lot of greatness going for it, but was dampened by the choice to push towards a linear flash light shooter.
"Alan Wake needs a better console for a more solid open world experience as intended originally"
Like this?
Alan Wake needs a 2008 pc? 2008 pc is next gen? It had that but then MS bought their attention. & then this..
"Alan Wake's resolution a composite between 720p and 540p"
Had nice phyics to!...
To bad alan wake was pirated 1,140,000 times on 360.
But profitable in 48 hrs on pc!
pc or no buy.. 540p is not good enough in todays world.
I guess that "better console" is the PC or some next gen system. Because the PS3 is definately no beast when it comes to open world experiences. And I'm not even considering the Wii U.
No, the next Alan Wake needs to come out for the PC first. Alan Wake did not sell very well on 360 because they cancelled the PC version shortly before it's release. The majority of people eagerly anticipating the game were PC gamers. The backlash was certainly felt by Remedy, they eventually convinced Microsoft to give the greenlight for a PC release; low and behold the PC version sold better than the 360 version.
It had NOTHING to do with the console...
They changed it from an open world game so that they could maintain the atmosphere and story driven experience that they were going for. The design choice had nothing to do with hardware limitations.
If simply believing whatever Microsoft-purchased Remedy tells you makes you real better......
Alan Wake is a very underrated game and MS did not do it justice by releasing it on the same month as Red Dead Redemption plus not giving it the Halo and Gears market budget but I am glad that it came bundled with my 360 that I got last xmas...I would have probably never bought it and missed out on an amazing experience.
Sure it had its down falls but what game doesn't, hopefully they fix the AI which felt like the same enemy though out the game and also make use of the 720 RAM and make open world like it was originally suppose to be - the story telling is where the game shines I wish we had more game like this.
Edit:@ NukaCola - Come on dude its the new year, try to change and love all consoles instead of hating on the 360.
Also you comment is semi correct but you needed to release on the PC...cannot believe that people like you still belive that the PS3 is made from black magic and pixie dust.
Yeah, releasing the same month as a Rockstar game was a huge mistake. I own both the 360 and PC version of Alan Wake(as well as American Nightmare on both platforms) and the PS3 and 360 versions of Red Dead and given the choice of only one, the decision would be pretty easy as Red Dead simply offers so much more content and most would agree that its mechanics are more refined.
Still really hope for a proper Alan Wake sequel though. Sure the original was not without flaws but look at how much Uncharted 2 improved over the original as another user mentioned, it's not as though Remedy couldn't do the same thing. I would like it to return to the open world style of game that was originally presented at IDF 2006.
@OpenGL @Knight_Crawler Actually AW had that date all set it was R*who decide to chose that date also not on purpose ,but it did not help AW sales going against an R* GAME.
Alan Wake is one of the best games this generation. Alan Wake 2 just needs to improve on the first and it's good to go.
Day 1. best horror/thriller game in a long time.
SilentNegotiator... if you can't troll better than that, don't bother, son. BTW, GT5 and The Last Guardian took longer than AW ; only an idiot thinks 5 years = "a decade".
I really thought Alan Wake was a horrible game. Good for the fans, but the game just seemed so flawed.

The Slim Shady rocked the music festival, triumphantly strutting his stuff at the parking lot of the expansive Auto Club Speedway in Fontana.
Eminem was among performers at Epicenter Twenty Ten festival in Fontana, California over the weekend. Performing on Saturday night, September 25, the rapper made a dramatic entry on the stage with a Star Wars-type script scrolled across a space-themed giant screen to narrate his journey which led to his "Recovery".
"In 2005, after completing a U.S. tour, Eminem stopped performing. Eminem entered rehab, a European tour was canceled and there were rumors that he was retiring. Over the following years, Eminem appeared to be detached and unfocused. Seldom did he return to perform live. Tonight Eminem return to the stage. You are all hear to witness Eminem's Recovery," the message read.
The Slim Shady then shouted his triumphant return, "I'm back, man. You miss me? I missed y'all." Representing his more-than-a-decade journey in music, he kept his song selection diverse, rapping his classic hits like "Cleaning Out My Closet" to newer material like Lil Wayne-assisted "No Love".
Other performers that night included D12 who managed to share stage with Eminem in some songs, House of Pain, DMX, Bush and KISS. The second and final day of the gig, meanwhile, saw Blink-182, Rise Against, Bad Religion and Against Me! performing.

Technical Abstract: Maize improvement requires hybridizations within the genus and occasionally between distantly related genera for genetic variation. An inter-generic cross between an eastern gamagrass hybrid [Tripsacum floridanum (Porter ex Vassey x T. dactyloides (L.) L.] and a popcorn (Zea mays L.) pollinator produced a single individual with a combined genome. The original F1 hybrid was backcrossed four times with maize lines to produce an individual (BC4) possessing the nuclear genome of maize and extra nuclear genes from Tripsacum. The BC4 line was further backcrossed with 12 separate inbred maize lines to produce advanced lines of field corn, sweet corn and popcorn. The advanced lines were crossed with commercial inbred lines creating numerous hybrid lines. Replicated multi-state testing of the hybrid field corn lines continued with trials in Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri during 2003. Yields of the top hybrids were not significantly different than check varieties used in the trials. Fatty acid profiles performed on the seed of gamagrass derived maize lines and hybrids showed the presence of myristic acid; whereas none was observed in the commercial inbred lines used. Corn rootworm damage evaluations were performed on gamagrass derived maize lines and hybrids. The gamagrass lines exhibited lower root damage scores than the susceptible check and commercial inbred lines tested.

Hi Bill!
Just returned from the Celebrity Constellation 2 week Baltic Cruise. I walk with a walker, and not able to get a handicapped room. I don't like them not having a "wait list", and you have to just keep calling. I wasn't able to see a handicapped room, so can't comment on that. The Constellation is 967 feet long. On deck 7, you can go from the bow to the rear of the ship with just 3 easy turns, which we did quite a few times. Found it so much easier than trying to normal public decks. Constellation will also reserve front seats for you on the bus tours. I'll be doing a review about shore excursions and the ship within the next few days. The staff really acknowledges and respects handicapped people. Unfortunately, can't say the same about the passengers, who always tried pushing and shoving. Ask for a table towards the rear of the dining room, or should I say closest to the door. When you start to go aft by the Captain's table, it could get a little tight, or you could do second level that appeared to have more space. Look for my review in a few days, and if I can answer anymore questions, will be happy to do so. We've also sailed Princess several times and love it. One thing superior with Constellation, is when opening stateroom door, it will stay open with a latch so you're not fighting a door when you're trying to get in.

Topic: My brother just diagnosed with cc
Hello. My brother was diagnosed w/ cc and is undergoing experimental chemo. After the first 4 rounds his tumor has shrunk and so 4 more rounds are scheduled with the hope surgery can become possible. He feels so sick all the time and in addition to having to cope with the treatment and the disease his insurance co says this is experimental chemo and won't pay for his treatment. The cocktail they are using on him has only approved for lung and breast cancer, not cc. So far all I've been able to do is comfort our family and pray for him. He says he plans to sue BlueCross for the money, but now he is out of pocket $15k per treatment. Mostly I feel so sad and helpless, but my emails to him are all encouraging.
Any suggestions for family members like me watching this horrible disease dismantle a family member's life would be most appreciated.

A highlight?
We all know accentuating the positive is the way the PR game is played (or cherry picking the negative, if you're on the other side of things – and you know who you are). But we can't help but humbly ask, after seeing yesterday's press releases (click here and here), if the governor's office and the Department of Education didn't go overboard by describing what just happened to the bonus program for national board certified teachers as a "highlight" in this year's budget.
As the St. Petersburg Times wrote in this story today, Gov. Crist signed a bill this week that caps the bonus at 10 years; eliminates funding for a related mentoring bonus; reclassifies the award as a "bonus" for retirement calculations; and scraps the state subsidy that paid 90 percent of the $2,500 application fee for other teachers who want to get board certified.
Crist himself called changes to the program "disappointing." So can it still be a highlight? Maybe, given all the budget cutting going on, it's a highlight that the program wasn't zapped altogether?

Lohan, Dawson, Tatum to Star in Granny Crime Film
This latest Lindsay Lohan casting news has us Sugar girls scratching our heads. According to an article in Variety, Sascha Baron Cohen's brother Ash is directing a movie called Poor Things which stars Shirley MacLaine and Olympia Dukakis. The movie is being called a "grandma gang comedy." Variety continues:
Trent Haaga's script was inspired by real news events and crime scandals surrounding recent arrests and convictions of elderly women for exploits that have included scams and cons involving drug sales, insurance fraud and murder.
This movie allegedly begins production today, Wednesday the 30th, though, as Pop points out, Lohan is headed back to rehab. So, Ash Baron Cohen is directing a granny gang comedy starring Lindsay Lohan who may be in rehab. I'm not too sure about this "news"... What do you think?

Introducing our new favorite alleged thief, Greg G. Giannotta. Our buddy Greg, "hid inside a furniture box at Kmart until closing time and, according to police, swept the jewelry department nearly clean of merchandise."
According to the Home News Tribune (of Central New Jersey):
"Giannotta went into the store about 8 p.m. Sunday, shoplifted tools for the burglary, a duffle bag and a full set of clothing to change into.He then went to the furniture department and hid in the box, waiting for the store to close. Sometime around midnight,Giannotta changed into the shoplifted clothes, emerged from the box and went to the jewelry section.
With employees still working in the store, Giannotta pried open the jewelry cases and loaded his duffle bag with gold and assorted jewelry.
An employee yelled for the manager to call 911, and Giannotta fled."
Nearby police saw Giannotta running through the Kmart parking lot, where he was apprehended. Our question: So how much does $80,000 worth of Kmart jewelry weigh? 150lbs? 300lbs? No wonder the poor bastard got caught. He'd have been better off stealing 50lb bags of kitty litter. —MEGHANN MARCO

A rash of Pinellas County Animal Services employees have been disciplined in recent years for, among other violations, misusing government property.
But this year, one employee took home new equipment and used it for himself without being disciplined: director Dewayne Taylor.
After Pinellas spent $25,400 in February on a laser to help animals recuperate from surgery, Taylor used it to treat his knees after his own surgeries, according to documents obtained under an open records request. He also acknowledged using the machine to experiment on two former directors and pets of staffers, too.
The violation wasn't disclosed when County Administrator Bob LaSala announced Taylor's resignation last week. But it was key in his stepping down from the $110,000-a-year job, LaSala and county officials acknowledged Wednesday. His resignation takes effect Oct. 1.
"I think it was quite clear it was an improper of use of county equipment," Commissioner Ken Welch said. "And you know, using that piece of equipment on your own body, that's just not acceptable."
Taylor received no disciplinary action because he did not cost the county money, LaSala said.
But in a letter responding to the allegation, Taylor admitted he should resign if county officials had lost trust in him. He turned in his resignation Aug. 2 as county officials investigated the charge.
LaSala informed at least some commissioners about the laser, but he said, "I don't discuss personnel matters," as the reason for not disclosing the violation publicly.
Pinellas employees are not allowed to use county property for personal use, according to county policy. An animal control officer was suspended last year after washing his own truck at a county carwash and taking county bleach, for example.
That case was part of a St. Petersburg Times story this year, which detailed a high rate of disciplinary action and strife at Animal Services. Some employees blame favoritism by managers.
"Should he be disciplined as other employees are disciplined? Absolutely," County Commissioner John Morroni said. "But the fact is, he's leaving as of October, and I'm sure this is part of it."
However, LaSala said the county wouldn't necessarily discipline employees the same way for similar violations. "You might have two situations that look like they're similar … and we come up with different decisions," he said.
The county began reviewing the agency in June after the Times report appeared. Taylor's violation was discovered after human resources director Peggy Rowe and Assistant County Administrator Maureen Freaney — who led the review — received an anonymous complaint July 11.
"Had there been any other employee that committed this gross violation of personnel rules, they would have been fired before they knew what hit them," said the letter, signed as Animal Service Employee.
The tipster went on to write, "I truly hope that he is held accountable for his actions and to the same standard that we are."
Taylor defended his intentions for using the machine, saying Wednesday that running it is part of his job.
In response to the complaint, Taylor wrote July 16 that he took the laser home to learn how to operate it while he was recovering from surgery, saying it has a "steep learning curve."
"It never crossed my mind that this would be considered misuse of county property," he wrote.
Taylor also made no secret of offering to use it on employees and their pets, saying most therapy was done with his office door open. He detailed using the laser on former department directors Welch Agnew and Kenny Mitchell.
The results were encouraging: less demand for medicine and a quicker recovery for both humans and animals.
"Did I personally benefit from the therapy? Absolutely," Taylor wrote.

Monetary policy frameworks and indicators for the Federal Reserve in the 1920s
The 1920s and 1930s saw the Fed reject a state-of-the-art empirical policy framework for a logically defective one. Consisting of a quantity theoretic analysis of the business cycle, the former framework featured the money stock, price level, and real interest rates as policy indicators. By contrast, the Fed's procyclical needs-of-trade, or real bills, framework stressed such policy guides as market nominal interest rates, volume of member bank borrowing, and type and amount of commercial paper eligible for rediscount at the central bank. The start of the Great Depression put these rival sets of indicators to the test. The quantity theoretic set correctly signaled that money and credit were on sharply contractionary paths that would worsen the slump. By contrast, the real bills indicators incorrectly signaled that money and credit conditions were sufficiently easy and needed no correction. This experience shows that policy measures and measurement, no matter how accurate and precise, can lead policymakers astray when embodied in a theoretically flawed framework.

When it comes down to it, Dungeon Siege might be the only franchise that has put Diablo to the test. Others have tried, others have died, but DS keeps on trucking. It's apple doesn't fall as far from Blizzard's tree as you might like, particularly with the strikingly similar naming conventions and properties of your characters' equipment -- but DS has proved to be some chunky good fun, with explosive burst of power that rival some of the most electric battles that Diablo had to offer. DS2 and its expansion have provided some much-needed depth that previous installments lacked, and combat is more interactive (although you can automate some of it if you choose). Recently we get our grubby hands on a near-final build of Broken World, due out next month, and it looks like it should appeal to fans of DS2.
If you're getting a little d¿j¿ vu right now, that's because we did a hands-on a few months back -- with a much smaller slice of the game. And while that last build came with some save slots that allowed us to jump right into the action, the version we're playing with now only comes with some boilerplate characters, so we're starting the game right from the beginning. For those of you just tuning in, the end of Dungeon Siege II heralded the death of Valdis, a nasty lord of evil, but it also ushered in some serious problems.
It looks like your act of heroism was also a near-cataclysm, and the true source of the evil plaguing the land in DS2 is still at large, spreading malaise and doom while continuing on his quest for domination over the land (and it sounds like he has more than lands and titles in mind). And the arch-bad guy still has some items of value to you and to the eventual rehabilitation of the empire.
You start out at a Dyrad village and will gather together a party there -- a maximum of four members. At the beginning, your choices are sharpshooters, melee fighters, sorcerers and mages. I couldn't find any proper healers in the area, but my Fist of Stone main character was able to fill in the gaps here and there, and healing potions are relatively cheap to come by. Several of your choices are characters from DS2, but they're only skilled up in one ability tree (or at least this was the case in the preview build). I spent some timing choosing spells, getting my formation right, checking the vendors for good gear, and gathering side quests before I went into the fray.
As you may recall from our previous hands-on, many enemy types have enhanced abilities. Some just explode when they die, while others have additional resistances, or a magic shield. One creature in the desert will actually gain health if you hit him with fire-based attacks, so you'll want to pay attention to the tooltips while you're hacking your way through.
Also, I noticed that the enemies don't always run to your nearest party member, choosing instead to go for the "squishies." You won't be able to just sit there and auto-attack. Sometimes the beasties will also drop from the trees or dig up through the ground, so you'll have to keep your wits about you and select the most useful special abilities. Some are better for area effects, while others are superior for single targets. Yet other abilities can create obstacles for the enemy, and others can leech health back to the caster.Continues

Sustainable Sanitation Alliance (SuSanA)
Stuber, N., Riad, M., Husselmann, H., Fahrländer, F.
Content - Summary
This case study is about a pilot development project of a decentralised wastewater management system with a community-based approach in the Nile Delta, village of Moufty El-Kobra, Egypt. The wastewater management system serves 2,750 persons. The project is part of a GIZ Water Supply and Wastewater Management Programme, financed by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Collaboration and Development (BMZ).
With regards to long-term impacts of the project, the main impact of the project is improved community hygiene through a wastewater treatment system based on a community approach. Before the project, there was no wastewater management in the village. In comparison to the traditionally used wastewater trenches, the new system reduces health risks significantly. No wastewater is found in the streets of the village anymore.
Another positive development is that households now can use washing machines due to the connection to a sewerage system. This relieves burdens especially from the women, who before had to do their washing at the closest water source (river or channel). The water consumption has increased from around 35 l/person*d to 68 l/person*d, which implies higher hygiene standards.
Awareness about health and environmental issues was lacking before the start of the project. Through the awareness campaigns, knowledge about water related diseases, hygienic and environmental aspects improved. People now are trying harder to keep the environment clean. One example is that the village started with the collection of solid waste. In general, with the CDA the people now have an institution through which they can communicate their demands.

THERE is still time for members of the public to have their say on a proposed new leisure centre for Exmouth seafront.
East Devon District Council is urging as many people as possible to comment on the Exmouth Splash development before the consultation period ends on January 14. Exmouth Splash is planned to be a new, vibrant and colourful leisure and recreation area on Exmouth seafront, between the old lifeboat station and the Maer on Queen's Drive.
Architect's impressions, together with ideas for features within the centre, have been on view in Exmouth as well as on-line at www.eastdevon.gov.uk/exmouthsplash since late November. During that time many people have taken the chance to give their views and tell EDDC what they think.
Key aspects of the proposed development include a large privately-run play and recreation area, with both indoor and outdoor facilities and a water sports hub - planned to be the centrepiece of the other main leisure area located on the seafront.
Other features will include retail areas, an amusement, a public square, holiday accommodation, a two-storey café and parking for 200-plus cars.
Councillor Andrew Moulding, chairman of the Exmouth Regeneration Partnership Board, said: "These plans offer the potential for significant change and improvement on Exmouth seafront for the benefit of residents and visitors alike.
"We really do want to hear from as many people as possible, though, to help shape and improve the plans before a formal planning application goes forward. Whatever your views, please take a minute or two to fill in the consultation questionnaire and let us know what you think."
Full illustrations and descriptions for 'Exmouth Splash' are still on show in the window of the former Thomas Tucker shop opposite Exmouth Town Hall and response forms are available to pick up at the Town Hall.
Visitors to Exmouth Pavilion can also see the proposals on display in the main foyer every day until the consultation closes. EDDC members and officers will be on hand at The Pavilion to discuss the plans in detail on the evening of Monday 7 January (6pm – 8pm) and morning of Thursday 10 January (10.30am – 12.30pm).

While it is very difficult to see the difference between many clay and concrete tile roofs, they are completely different materials. Many people use the description "clay tile roof" generically to describe both. Clay generally costs more than a concrete tile roof, and must be of very high quality and thoroughly kiln fired to withstand freeze/thaw climates.
Concrete roof tile has been around since the mid 1800's and has a historically established service life of around 80 years. We have been manufacturing concrete roof tile here at our Calgary Alberta manufacturing plant since 1978 and our first tiles are still looking great!
Our concrete roof tiles are "through-tile" coloured. This means that the colour pigment is mixed throughout the tile and the colour is therefore permanent. As tiles age, there may be slight changes in the appearance. The one exception to this permanent colour is a painted tile. Once the paint has worn to the extent that a new colour is desired – usually in 15 to 20 years – the roof may be re-painted.
We have a very large colour range of naturally pigmented tiles; and virtually any colour of painted tile can be produced. Our standard weight tiles (10 or 12 lbs. per sq. ft.) are available in a "Slate" and "Split Shake" flat tile, and the more traditional Spanish looking Estate tiles are available in both regular and lightweight (8 lbs. per sq. ft.).
Yes, there are specialized tile painting contractors that will do this work and we can supply you with the proper tile paint. Re-painting is common on painted tile roofs, but most homeowners that have a through-coloured, non-painted tile roof do not paint their roofs as it starts them on a maintenance painting schedule.
The initial purchase cost of a Unicrete tile roof is much less than generally assumed. It comes in slightly higher than a designer type "50 year" 6 bundle square asphalt shingle and costs considerably less than metal roof systems. It is also slightly less expensive than a good quality (Premium heavy 100% edge grain) cedar shake or shingle roof. In addition to this, both asphalt shingles and cedar shakes have a 20 year service life expectation whereas concrete tile will last at least 3 times longer than this. An entry level 3 bundle square asphalt roof is the only roof that will come in substantially less than a tile roof (about 2.5x) but this is only a 15 year roof and very prone to wind blow off's etc. and you would be re-roofing 4 times or more during the life cycle of your tile roof. This makes tile 1/2 to 1/3 the actual cost per year of other competing roof materials. Unicrete concrete roof tile is actually the least expensive roof available when calculated as a roof life cycle cost per year.
Unicrete makes a lightweight roof tile that has been especially designed for the re-roofing market. Roof materials that add less than 8 lbs. per sq. ft. to the roof are considered to be lightweight and generally require no structural upgrading for typical engineered truss homes. However, all lightweight concrete roof tiles are not created equally. Manufacturers that come from southern climates that do not have to contend with Canadian winters often add "expanded aggregate" to their tiles to bring down the weight. This has a poor history in our climate and Unicrete refuses to use this additive.
If you are building a new home, the extra expense to design for the additional weight of concrete roof tiles (total of 12 lbs. per sq. ft.) is generally quite low – often only a few hundred dollars – as long as you address this at the beginning, before the trusses and other structural components have been designed. If you wish to re-roof with one of our standard weight tiles, an engineering review is required and often some truss or other structural upgrading will then need to be done. We can help you coordinate this.
It is a myth that concrete roof tiles can not be walked on. Concrete continues to cure for many years and a tile roof that is more than a year old will be very walkable as long you are familiar with how to do so properly. Any roof is very dangerous and should never be accessed without a good reason, and all safety precautions regarding fall protection should be followed. In particular, never walk on any wet or slippery roof surface.
Unicrete roof tiles come with a very solid 50 year non-pro-rated, fully transferrable, inflation indexed material warranty. However, we don't expect you will ever use it as 50 years is not all that old for a concrete roof tile having a historically demonstrated service life expectation of more than 80 years.
Yes, there are two complete roof systems on all Canadian roof tile installations. The tile installation standards require that a complete double strapping system be installed over the under-tile water shedding membrane level, and then the tile is installed over this system. The minimum underlay material allowed is a 30lb. roof felt, and now most tile systems are upgraded to a synthetic or peel and stick membrane system.
Unicrete roof tile tops the list for being a sustainable, environmentally responsible roof covering saving our landfills from millions of tones of disposal waste. Demolition and Construction waste accounts for an estimated 22% of the total landfill disposal volume. Of course even when the tile does need replacing 80 years or more down the road, it is a highly desired recycled product composed of natural materials, with countless applications for its second life.
Unicrete roof tiles contain a post industrial waste product called Fly Ash which not only improves the quality of the tile and saves on land fill loading, but actually saves about 1/2 ton per typical roof in manufacturing carbon emissions. There are also great energy savings to be had with the Unicrete under-tile "Ener-vent" system.
Concrete roof tiles are the most aesthetically pleasing roof material choice for those wishing to pursue integrated energy saving options such as solar voltaic panels (which integrate completely into the tile roof), or solar thermal systems which can either integrate into the roof tile or be contained in the under-tile rain screen area, and thereby be completely hidden.
In typical attic or cathedral vented roof systems (about 99.9% of Canadian residential roofs), all insulation should be on the ceiling level or "warm" side of your structure. You do not want to insulate your roof deck above the vented space, but rather maintain the same outside temperature on your roof deck to prevent ice damming in winter, and heat transfer into the vented attic space in the summer. Unicrete's "Ener-Vent" system is a very effective passive venting system. US department of Energy studies have demonstrated that 50% or more of the heat that would usually end up transferring into the attic area is vented away, helping to reduce air-conditioning needs and greatly increase the homes comfort level in the summer and reduce ice damming potential in the winter. In addition this under-tile area can be utilized to increase the efficiency of intake air in HRV's in the winter, by supplying warmed solar charged air to the HRV system.
Concrete roof tile has long demonstrated that its completely non-combustible nature is the very best protection you can give your family against potential fire situations which are typically spread from roof to roof in fire-prone wilderness and sub-division locations. There are countless stories of homes that survived a multi-home fire disaster because of non-combustible concrete roof tile and a good perimeter fire guard space.
Concrete roof tile has an excellent reputation for both wind resistance and for hail resistance. This is why it is the roofing product of choice in both hurricane prone areas such as Florida and hail prone areas such as Denver. In the aftermath of the 2002 hail storm in Calgary's Oakridge community (a mixed roofing material area), the asphalt and cedar shake roofs suffered major damage and needed to be replaced (many chose our lightweight concrete re-roofing tile for their roof replacement). The existing Unicrete tile roofs had either no, or very minor damage reported and none of the Unicrete tile roofs needed to be replaced.
There is no such thing as a "NO" maintenance roof material. While Unicrete roof tiles would be considered to be the lowest maintenance roof product available, all roofs should be at least inspected periodically so that unseen conditions can be caught before they become damaging situations.
Tile roofs are best installed by an experienced tile roofing contractor. A proper Unicrete tile installation can be done by a non-tile experienced roofer or even a dedicated and handy homeowner if they wish to take the time to thoroughly understand the installation instructions. While we can provide an instructional manual, technical bulletins, and an instructional video to help walk you through the installation process, nothing can replace real life tiling experience. To do a proper job on your first tile roof will take a great deal of time and will require that you pay close attention to every detail. Installation can be quite complicated and should only be attempted if you wish to learn how to tile and/or for the satisfaction of doing your own roof. Labour cost savings will generally be minimal when you factor in the low hourly rate your own time will end up being compensated at.

With her father Jim in the Home Guard and sister Phyllis in the WAAF, Celia Crowson begins work at an aircraft components factory with some reluctance. But she soon strikes up friendships with colleagues Gwen Price and Jennifer Knowles and new RAF recruit, Fred Blake.
No doubt stung by Hollywood's depiction of life on the British home front in Mrs Miniver, Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat concocted this working-class riposte, which emphasised both the crucial importance of communal action to confounding the enemy and the random nature of both service and sacrifice.
There are no heroes here, just ordinary people, of all ages and backgrounds, doing their bit for the war effort - and not always with much conviction or enthusiasm. Anne Crawford's uppity city girl may not like her work at an aircraft components factory miles from the nearest town, but she makes the most of her lot (even though a flirtation with boss Eric Portman rather than a sense of patriotism prompts her to revise her priorities). Similarly, Patricia Roc conquers her disappointment at not being able to follow gregarious sister Joy Shelton into the WAAF. Indeed, such is her commitment to the cause that she even shrugs and joins in a morale-boosting song with her new family of co-workers on realising that she will have plenty of time to mourn her young RAF husband, Gordon Jackson, once the war has been won.
But Launder and Gilliat don't just concentrate on the emotional aspects of the conflict. They also study the action with the everyday shortages and inconveniences that would have been familiar to audiences across the country, with the shots of barbed wire and landmines along the coast being a particularly sobering reminder of just how flimsy Britain's defenses were and how much life in a traditional place of enjoyment and escapism had changed.
That said, there are occasional moments of light relief and the most amusing are provided by Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne as Charters and Caldicott, whom the co-directors had reunited after their thriller stints in Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes and Carol Reed's Night Train to Munich (1940), which they had scripted.
Very British drama in all the good ways.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
The potential synergies between consumer brands and the music industry have never been more important to explore. With total ad spending down 15 percent in the first half of 2009 compared with the first half of 2008 and ad spending on music down 16 percent in the same period, it makes sense that an increasing number of marketers and musicians are interested in essentially doubling their promotional weight, both on- and offline. ( Related: "2009: Trends in Music Branding.")

 Here, three campaigns whose clever creative strategies have boosted the profiles of both the brands and artists:

 COCA-COLA

 For Coca-Cola, happiness is a five-note branding mnemonic turned into a song heard around the world. The effort, a collaboration with Atlantic Records for the cola's "Open happiness" campaign from Wieden + Kennedy, stars a genre-bending mix of artists: Cee-Lo Green; Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump; Panic at the Disco's Brendon Urie; Gym Class Heroes' Travis McCoy; and Janelle Monae.

 Producer Butch Walker and Green co-wrote the nearly four-minute track released in March (the mnemonic was written by Human) via MySpace-where it's been streamed more than 700,000 times -- and iTunes, where it reached No. 27 on the Pop Chart in the U.S. The song was used in ads that aired in 31 markets, with spots including eight customized versions with local artists (such as Leehom Wang in China, whose version reached No. 1 on the Top 100 chart of search engine Baidu.com). In July, a music video -- as stylistically fanciful as the animated "Happiness Factory" spots -- premiered on MTV. And the song is keeping its buzz on: so far, it has inspired more than 100 user-generated versions on YouTube, and this winter it will be heard at various venues at the Olympics in Vancouver.

 "One thing [that 'Open happiness'] has proven to us is that music has the power to connect," said Coke's global music marketing manager Umut Ozaydinli at an Adweek and Billboard Music and Advertising Conference earlier this year.

 According to Atlantic's svp of brand marketing, Camille Hackney, the collaboration -- orchestrated by companies including Brand Asset Group and Crush Music Media Management -- is helping to keep the artists top of mind as they each prep upcoming releases.

 BLACKBERRY

 In an eyebrow-raising switch of brand partners, U2 is working with BlackBerry to help promote its latest album, No Line on the Horizon. (For its last album and tour, 2004's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, U2 partnered with Apple and released a special edition iPod and an exclusive historical digital catalog, as well as starred in an iPod/iTunes commercial touting its "Vertigo" single.)

 BlackBerry's campaign, which touts the message "BlackBerry loves U2," includes exclusive sponsorship of the band's 360˚ tour and a 60-second spot from Arc that launched in July. Timed to the album's release and the tour's kickoff, the commercial featured a live performance of the band in a shower of glittery sparks playing "I'll Go Crazy if I Don't Go Crazy Tonight." In the fall, the deal's most innovative element was introduced: a BlackBerry app that includes songs, videos, pictures, a link to the U2 mobile shop and a news feed that sends users updates every time a band member posts to the U2 blog. A yet-to-be activated social-networking feature will allow concertgoers to mark their seats on a map of each venue, and locate and communicate with other fans at the shows.

 "We're reinventing the album experience for the digital age," said Jeff McDowell, vp, global alliances at BlackBerry maker Research In Motion, at the time of the app's release.

 CRYSTAL LIGHT

 Atlantic Records' artist Estelle had a very good night at the Grammy's back in February. Not only did a Crystal Light spot launch during the show with an upbeat song she wrote and sang -- one of two spots featuring the song in a campaign from Ogilvy & Mather -- but she later won her first Grammy for the song "American Boy." (You can bet Kraft Foods, owner of Crystal Light, was pleased, too.) In the spot, Estelle belted out the upbeat "Star," which she wrote for the powdered drink mix. The commercial included a URL where visitors could download free copies of a full-length version of the song.

 Within the first week on the Web site, said Doug Scott, president of Ogilvy Entertainment, it was downloaded 20,000 times. A month later, it was put up for sale on sites including iTunes and Amazon. Ten months after its debut, Atlantic said the brand-inspired song is being considered for inclusion on Estelle's next release, which is expected in mid-2010. The campaign, said Atlantic's Hackney, "was another platform to help build [Estelle] and her brand. We collaborated and got a fantastic song out of it. … And you never know, we may make it into a single. We're still having those discussions.

Interesting blade, local GS told me they had a few calls on the knife the same day I had them bring one in for me (collection knife). Picked it up today and was mildly disappointed, lotsa of hype around this blade and it does look like it will do it's intended job but I was a bit "meh" when I opened it up - guess Im jaded. Nice knife though if you need to carry something like that, definitely wouldn't want it used on me

Have a 20 plus year old version of the Spyderco Remote Release with a 3.75" blade and is bigger than either the Spyderco Remote Release I or Remote Release II. Its a handful of knife with a full serrated blade and one of my travel knives take whenever go anywhere international or with strict out of state carry laws like NYC where might be able to pick up a small 380 off sidewalk if really needed it but a knife is my primary defense device and across the pond, Canada or south of Texas only means. Of course when mountaineering an ice axe or rock hammer made a good device to have handy on a backpack but walking though Lima, La Paz, Paris, Zurich, etc a pack with an ice axe isn't going into a museum or such.
Always carry the old Remote Release clipped to belt loop and tucked in rear pocket of my Levis. Years of accumulated time in countries that didn't allow guns never was questioned about the Spyderco. If just walking the streets and not going to the Louvre or such generally have a Cold Steel Tanto in small of back under my shirt and the Spyderco becomes the backup. Wife and I wandered in edge of Sharia law neighborhood in Paris our very last tourist trip to Paris. Others were wife's bone studies and medicine not approved in U.S. till it got FDA approval but soon as figured out available in Switzerland totally gave up on Paris.
When wandered in wrong area of Paris were 15 to 18 years younger and not sick but had five muzzie men back us into a corner, was looking bad as they wanted a piece of the white Americans. Put wife behind me and told her to keep her hand on my shoulder and when lunged to run like he!! and not to look back or would turn to pillar of salt. Said untuck shirt get the Tanto and if anyone got hold of her slash and stab until able to run then keep moving. Pulled the Remote Release and as it locked open started my move, wife went into split end mode running with the Tanto and all five parted like the Red Sea as I got shoulder to shoulder with her. Block and a half we saw white European's again and stopped running in front of cafe and several people said Americans need to be very careful where they go in Paris and left it at that. I believe with my heart had it not been for the Spyderco and/or the Tanto their biggest decision would have been whether to kill me before or after raping the wife. Been told they like to make a man watch first. Now we are letting Sharia law communities exist in many of our cities. Its doom and gloom for those who get lost in an unfamiliar town with such. Hope Trump gets national reciprocity pushed through as wife ain't able to run anymore and I am far from giving a good fight to five younger healthy men without a gun. If my gun is not welcome, I am not going anymore.
Try telling a libertard what happens in Sharia Law community its like talking about the hood when they say that the people are just misunderstood and not a real danger. One or two bad apples doesn't spoil the basket. Most who have said such have asked if ever been in a Sharia Law community or would they walk through the hood after dark and say no but its not because of the people, just no infrastructure providing any service they need due to their poor living conditions of us deplorables keeping the minorities down. But anytime go into unknown territory the Spyderco still goes into back pocket.
A time will come when people will not listen to accurate teachings. Instead, they will follow their own desires and surround themselves with teachers who tell them what they want to hear. 2 Timothy 4:3 G.W.T.

Carpe Diem
Life is like the sands of an hour glass,
quickly sifting away.
Gone are those youthful days;
Baseball games, swimming holes,
Barbie dolls, lipstick and
girlish things, bicycle rides
and high schools ties.
Dates at teen town,
cruising up Main Street
then back down.
Young lovers on a distant river bank,
splendor in the tall green grass,
love they thought would forever last.
Day to weeks, weeks to months and
months to years. A life fulfilled,
husband, children, tones of
laughter and even a few sad tears.
But the sands of time has eventually taken its
toll, all good things must come to an end.
Here today�gone tomorrow.
And end they did!
The moral of this rhyme;
"Carpe diem"

Kiwis better off without copper tax Mr Joyce
Clare CURRAN
Communications and IT Spokesperson
22 September 2013 MEDIA STATEMENT
Kiwis better off without copper tax Mr Joyce
Steven Joyce is telling porkies by claiming savings from an axed "copper tax" would not be passed onto consumers, Labour's communications and IT spokesperson Clare Curran said today.
"On Q&A this morning Steven Joyce tried to claim that consumers won't see any difference whether the copper tax comes in or not, as ISPs will not pass on savings. That's completely wrong.
"Just one week ago CallPlus, a major ISP that owns the Slingshot brand, unequivocally said it would pass on the full benefits to consumers of a reduction in copper prices.
"CallPlus CEO Mark Callander said on 12 September, 'if the government doesn't proceed with the proposed copper tax and Chorus doesn't find other ways to increase our wholesale prices, CallPlus and Slingshot will pass on the full benefits to our customers'.
"Also Orcon CEO Greg McAlister, said 'Orcon will definitely pass on cheaper inputs'.
"Steven Joyce's attempt to paint the 'axe the copper tax' coalition as a battle between vested interests is wrong and shows he's not being upfront with the New Zealand public.
"The real battle is between a big infrastructure company called Chorus demanding a government hand-out of $600 million for its shareholders and Kiwi householders who are faced with an unjustified $150-a-year hike in their bills for copper-based broadband.
"A quarter of Kiwi households will never get fibre-based ultrafast broadband as they are in rural areas. They will pay more for a service that should be dropping in price. Instead of getting a cheaper rate for copper they will pay the full cost of fibre, but without the better service. That is completely unfair.
"Of the rest of Kiwi households, most will wait years to even be able to access fibre broadband. The Government and Chorus are ripping off Kiwi households to keep copper prices artificially high.
"The Prime Minister has claimed Chorus will go broke if it doesn't get the subsidy. Chorus CEO Mark Ratcliffe again denied this was true in an article published on NBR this weekend.
"One of them isn't telling the truth. In the meantime, Kiwi households look set to get ripped off," says Clare Curran.
