Demand for physical gold is starting to creep up again, market watchers said, following a dip in the metal's price last week.
Market watchers cited a rebound in coin sales by U.S. Mint and gold forward rates turning negative as two signs of physical demand.
The U.S. Mint's website shows that American Eagle bullion coin sales are at their highest level since July, with one-ounce coin sales already double of what was sold in August and September. As of Oct. 16, 20,500 one-ounce American Eagle bullion coins were sold for the month, versus only 8,500 sold in September and 9,000 sold in August. Total ounces sold as of mid-October are 23,000. American Buffalo bullion coin sales are also at their highest level since July at 11,000 ounces sold. In August and September, Buffalo coin sales were 10,000 for each month.
Additionally, a few market watchers said that this week gold forward rates turned negative again after being positive recently. The gold-forward lease rates reflect where contributors are prepared to lend gold on a swap against U.S. dollars. As of 12:10 p.m. (ET), the one-month rate was minus 0.05 per cent and the three-month rate was minus 0.03 per cent.
Kevin Grady, owner of Phoenix Futures and Options, said the move to negative gold forward rates from positive shows how physical demand swiftly picked up when prices fell to the $1,260s to $1,270s area.
"It shows you how very, very price sensitive physical buyers are," he said, noting that much of the gold that banks had available because of redemptions from exchange-traded funds was snapped up, pushing the lease rates to negative.
Peter Thomas, senior vice-president of Zaner Precious Metals, a precious metals physical wholesaler, agreed.
"The pickup in demand has really just started this week. It's really taken us by surprise. It's gold, but even more it's silver," Thomas said, who added that just Thursday morning he picked up 25 new customers alone, a higher level than normal.
Thomas attributed the sudden interest in physical demand to the stalemate in Congress. With the agreement to a temporary deal, Thomas said buyers are seeing it as more of the same lack of fiscal restraint which makes holding hard assets desirable.
Additionally, he said, the interest in silver comes as prices have fallen around to $20 an ounce. After a busy first half of 2013, Thomas said buying dried up, but the drop in silver prices has revived interest.
The question is whether or not the rising interest in physical demand will stay, market watchers said. The last quarter of the year seasonally is price positive for gold as it coincides with several festivals including Diwali in India and Christmas where gold is sometimes given as gifts.
Edward Meir, commodities consultant for INTL FCStone, agreed that the buying interest in the U.S. Mint coins was spurred by the stalemate in Washington. "Whether these robust sales levels last going into year-end remains to be seen; we have our doubts that they will," Meir said.
Grady also said as prices rise, physical buying may dry up. That's been the pattern this year, he said.
"If prices go back to $1,350, the question is, will the physical buyers be there? If the physical buyers aren't there to buy gold, who else will? You're not seeing it in the ETFs," he said.

In November 2013, the Northern RI Conservation District signed a lease with the RI Department of Environmental Management to oversee the management of historic Snake Den Farm, a 150–acre farm located on Brown Avenue in Johnston. The farm is located within the boundary of Snake Den Park, a 744-acre State Park that stretches from Hartford Avenue to Greenville Avenue, along the Brown Avenue Historic District. The farm was founded in 1789, and was maintained as a working farm for over 200 years. For more information on the history of the farm, click here.
It is the Northern RI Conservation District's mission to use a sustainable, conservation-minded approach to bring historic Snake Den Farm back into agricultural production. Using this approach, we strive to:
While getting the land back into production is NRICD's primary goal, in time we are working on developing a program to create a center for agricultural education, re-open the historic farm museum to the public, and make Snake Den a community attraction. We are looking forward to community involvement in our project and want to make it a place for the public to learn and enjoy.
Wish List
We have some start up needs that we are hoping our community of partners, friends, neighbors and those who have invested in the property in the past and have a fondness for this farm may be able to assist with.
We need:
If you have any of these items that are in excellent condition and are willing to donate them, please contact us and we will arrange a pick up.
We are also taking donations to alleviate some of the start-up costs involved with this project. First and foremost, we are looking to get the second floor of the farmhouse up to code, which is a cost that exceeds $12,000. We have a very limited budget for this large undertaking, so anything helps!
If you are interested in making a tax deductible donation to Snake Den Farm, please call us at 401.830.4896. Right now we accept checks, and should be able to take credit cards shortly.

French automaker Renault will add a new SUV to its lineup and the vehicle will be positioned between Kwid and Duster. The new product is codenamed as HBC and as per reports, it will go up against the likes of Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza SUV.
The SUV will use the CMF-A platform, the common and shared platform of the Renault-Nissan alliance. The entry-level SUV-Crossover segment has been becoming very popular in recent times and Renault believes that this new product will also turn very successful.
The SUV-Crossover is expected to hit the Indian roads in 2019, while many other manufacturers are already lining up its crossover to enter the market sooner than Renault.
The Renault compact SUV will have to compete with some new products in the same segment like the Tata Motors' Nexon (expected in 2017), Hyundai's HND-14 Carlino concept based compact SUV (expected in 2018), Honda and Jeep compact SUV model (expected in 2018).

SEA Shepherd activists and Japanese whalers are involved in a stand off and the Australians are appealing to the Federal Government to intervene.
The activists claim a minke whale was harpooned in Australia waters off Antarctica on Friday.
They also say a Japanese boat tried to ram them as they attempted to stop the carcass of that whale being transferred from the harpooning ship onto another vessel.
Sea Shepherd board member Bob Brown said whaling in the area had now stopped and the factory ship Nisshin Maru and two harpoon vessels were being tailed.
But Dr Brown said another illegal activity in the area was causing great concern.
He said yesterday that a South Korean oil tanker was leaking oil as it dodged icebergs in the dark to re-fuel the whaling fleet.
"The crew of the Sea Shepherd has smelt and seen oil being washed out of the tanker and two Japanese vessels are lining up for re-fuelling as we speak,'' Dr Brown.
"We have lodged our concerns with the government. The Minister for turning a blind eye to illegality, Environment Minister Tony Burke, needs to step in.
"It is in breach of international law for the heavy oil tanker to be in our exclusive economic zone.''
The Bob Barker has been engaged with the whaling fleet since it intercepted the factory ship Nisshin Maru at 10am on Saturday.
In total, activists have chased the whaling fleet over 2500 nautical miles since January 29.
Dr Brown said the Australian Government had promised in 2007 that it would stand up to the whalers.
"Well it has been more than five years now and if it were not for Sea Shepherd, over 4000 whales would have had their lives extinguished as a result of these cruel and barbaric poachers,'' he said.
"Sea Shepherd is doing the work the Australian people want to see done they do not want to see Australia's whales being butchered by these whale poachers from Japan.''

In the converse vs. vans debate, I am a Vans fan. Have been for years and this pair is amazing. Look, there isn't any arch support as is typical in vans, so if you have arch issues, grab some inserts, but as far as materials used, PHENOMENAL. The colors are very accurate in the pictures. I protect the suede with spray on suede protector, but since I live in the desert, precipitation isn't necessarily a factor in my regular wear and tear of footwear. I really like the laces. They're cotton, but are round with sort of a stiff outer coating and almost makes them look leather. I really respect the texture play in these shoes. Very fun. Caveat: In the actual hightop area, on the inside against your ankles, it's a shiny, sort of fake leather material. It's possible that if you are wearing these while walking around a lot and are either a)sweating or b)succuming to humidity, that you will make a quick trip to blister city. Upper ankles beware! Maybe just tuck your skinny jeans down and problem avoided. Regarding sizing, I think they run a tad roomy. I'm consistently a 9 1/2 in footwear, so I bought a 9 and 10 to try on. The 10 was really big and the 9 was just what I needed. I'd recommend ordering down if you're a half size. Peace out!

Karachi: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has taken a final decision on shifting the triangular series to Nairobi and has dispatched separate letters to the Australian and New Zealand Boards formally inviting them to take part in the tri-series beginning from August 29.
"We have sent letters to both Boards and the contents are the same. We will now wait for their response. But our decision to have the triangular series in Nairobi is final," PCB director Brig Munawwar Rana told daily 'The News'. The ACB also confirmed that it had received a letter from the PCB regarding the triangular series in Nairobi. The ACB also said it was still awaiting personal security assurances from the PCB for its players as it wanted to tour Pakistan in October for a Test series. Rana said he would not like to comment on the ACB asking for security assurances, saying this was something being directly dealt with by the chairman Lt General Tauqir Zia. "But in the past also we gave security assurances to the New Zealand team through our government," he said. Pakistan has been forced to shift due to security concerns raised by the Australian and New Zealand Boards about touring Pakistan in the wake of two bomb blasts in Karachi. Rana said the PCB was now working out modalities of shifting the triangular series to Nairobi and its broadcasting agents TWI were also doing their homework.

Cargill, Kennedy and Coe Launch Beef Sustainability Assessment
Effort aims to improve criteria, metrics focused on feed yards
Cargill Cattle Feeders, the cattle supply arm of the company's U.S. beef business, has partnered with Wichita-based consultancy Kennedy and Coe, in an effort to create a verified beef supply chain sustainability assessment program for Cargill feed yards.
The assessment will begin with a year-long focus on the economic, environmental and community impacts of Cargill's four feed yards in Texas, Kansas and Colorado.
Following the initial data collection, Kennedy and Coe's ResourceMax assessment service will generate a report, and a subsequent analysis and benchmarking will be established to support ongoing improvement.
Cargill beef customers also will be able to provide their own sustainability criteria, yielding a customized assessment report that gives them data to measure and document their organization's supply chain sustainability progress.
"As global demand for animal proteins to nourish people continues to rise in concert with increasing population and consumer income levels, it is important to improve the way we use resources to produce beef," said John Keating, president of Cargill's North American beef business.
Keating added that it's "critical to improve the way we manage resources, and we will develop a way to measure the effective use of inputs and outputs ranging from water and feed, to worker safety, manure management, air quality, energy use, land stewardship and animal welfare. "
"Today, people have a desire to know how the food they eat is produced and where it comes from," said Sara Harper, Kennedy and Coe's director of sustainability and supply chain solutions. "Cargill is pioneering transparency and collaboration with its beef customers to share information important to consumers."
If successful, Cargill aims to expand the assessment to include cattle production in collaboration with stocker operators, ranchers, as well as with Cargill's strategic feed yard partners.

Universi Dominici Gregis is an Apostolic Constitution of the Roman Catholic Church issued by Pope John Paul II on February 22, 1996. It superseded Pope Paul VI's 1975 Apostolic Constitution, Romano Pontifici Eligendo.
Universi Dominici Gregis ('the Lord's whole flock', from the opening statement 'The Shepherd of the Lord's whole flock is the Bishop of the Church of Rome, ...'), subtitled On the Vacancy of the Apostolic See and the Election of the Roman Pontiff, deals with the vacancy of the Chair of St Peter and Bishop of Rome namely the Pope.
The constitution modified or in some cases confirmed the rules for the conclave such that the rules today are as follows:
- Cardinals must be no more than eighty years of age on the day before the death or resignation of the Pope.
- No more than 120 Cardinals may vote.
- A Pope shall be elected by a vote of two-thirds until a total of 33 or 34 votes have taken place.
- Maximum of two votes in the morning and two each afternoon, totaling four votes will be held daily.
- After a total of 33 or 34 ballots depending whether a ballot took place on the afternoon of the first day, an absolute majority of the College of Cardinals may change the election rule; however, no modification can supersede the requirement that a valid election have at least an absolute majority of the votes. (This regulation was later revised by Benedict XVI; see below)
Strict secrecy is to be ensured throughout the process. Anyone violating the security of the Vatican, introducing recording equipment, or communicating with a cardinal elector in any way, risks excommunication. Other penalties are at the discretion of the incoming Pope. Various oaths are also required to be taken by the participants, to ensure that they will act properly.
Previous methods of election
Previously, in addition to secret ballot two other methods were allowed for the conduct of the election. A committee of nine to fifteen unanimously chosen cardinals might have been delegated, to make the choice for all (election by compromise, per compromissum). Alternatively, formal ballots could be discarded: in election by acclamation (per acclamationem seu inspirationem) the electors simultaneously shouted out the name of their preferred candidate. Both of these methods have now been abolished: the rationale given was that either compromise or acclamation would not require each cardinal to express his preference. Also, these two methods tended to produce controversy, and in any case neither had been used for quite some time - the last compromise election was of Pope John XXII in 1316, and the last affirmation (acclamation) election was of Pope Gregory XV in 1621. As a result, election by secret ballot is now the only valid method of electing a Pope.
Living quarters of cardinals
Also Universi Dominici Gregis provided that Cardinals would be housed in Domus Sanctae Marthae, a building with dormitory type accommodations built within the Vatican City. Previously Cardinals were housed in improvised accommodations which were often noted for not being particularly comfortable.
Major changes
Three major changes occurred in the new Apostolic Constitution.
- Provision was provided for the election of a pope by an absolute majority in certain circumstances.
- For the first time in centuries cardinals were to be provided with an official set of apartments separate from the Sistine Chapel.
- The method by which a pope symbolically took office was made less specific. Whereas Pope Paul's Romano Pontifici Eligendo explicitly required that the new pope be crowned, the new Apostolic Constitution wrote more ambiguously of the inauguration of the pontificate without spelling out specifically by name whether than inaugurating (ie, formal ceremonial beginning of) the pontificate involves either the old enthronement ceremony, the Papal Coronation or the version used since 1978, the Papal Inauguration. All that is required is that some formal ceremony take place. What form that takes is left up to the discretion of the incoming pope.
2005 papal conclave
The Papal election of 2005 was the first papal election to be held under this system.
On June 11, 2007 Pope Benedict XVI issued a Motu Proprio beginning with the words Constitutione Apostolica, subtitled De aliquibus mutationibus in normis de electione romani pontificis which reinstates the traditional norms for the majority required to elect the Pope. Unless changed by a future Pope, a two-thirds majority will be required to elect a new Pope regardless of the number of ballots it takes to elect a new Pope.[1]

The Republicans were defeated in their shutdown-and-defund debacle and are experiencing sinking favorability. Writing in The New Yorker, George Packer provides a sobering reminder that the GOP is still setting the economic policy agenda. Spending cuts, austerity over stimulus, cutbacks in federal employees, the sequester–among the Republican fiscal policies that shrink the government, benefit the wealthy and hurt the vulnerable–continue to prevail:
These days, Republicans may be losing politically and resorting to increasingly anti-majoritarian means—gerrymandering, filibuster abuse, voter suppression, activist Supreme Court decisions, legislative terrorism—to nullify election results. But on economic-policy matters they are setting the terms. Senator Ted Cruz can be justly described as a demagogic fool, but lately he's been on the offensive far more than the White House has. The deficit is in fairly precipitous decline, but job growth is anemic, and millions of Americans remain chronically unemployed. Democrats control the White House and the Senate, and last year they won a larger share of the national vote in the House than Republicans did. And yet the dominant argument in Washington is over spending cuts, not over ways to increase economic growth and address acute problems like inequality, poor schools, and infrastructure decay. "The whole debate over the last couple of weeks is playing against a backdrop of how much to increase austerity, not to invest in the economy," Neera Tanden, the president of the Center for American Progress, said last week. "We are living in a time of government withering on the vine."
While House Republicans go home to sift through the debris of their defeat, the sequester remains in place, with deeper cuts ahead. A hiring freeze at United States Attorneys' offices will continue and they will have to go on using volunteers. There will be no new agents to fill training classes at the F.B.I. Academy, while the bureau's concrete headquarters, on Pennsylvania Avenue, crumbles. The loss of government scholarships at the National Health Services Corps will mean fewer doctors in underserved areas. [IRS employees] will look for jobs in the private sector. And the talk in Washington will return to deficit reduction.

The RPG group has decided not to offload its 2.5 per cent stake in MusicWorld, its retail music chain. The group has taken this decision as they were not able to get a proper valuation for the stake.
The group was in talks with financial institutions including ICICI, UTI and IL&FS to offload the stake. The group was looking to fund its expansion programme for MusicWorld through the stake sale. The investment for the proposed expansion is pegged at Rs 60 crores. The group had appointed JM Morgan Stanley as merchant bankers for the deal.
MusicWorld is a division of Spencer & Co. the group's retail sector arm. The store currently has 13 stores across Chennai, Kochi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Delhi, Chandigarh and Kolkata.
The group is planning to have around 25 retail outlets by March 2003. MusicWorld had a turnover of around Rs 54 crores in the last fiscal year.

Oh how I do love Photoshop…this has been the problem with my last two webdesign projects–too much visual, too little function. 😛
Since I've been on a rather mandatory web-design kick lately, I found this to be helpful–I always love using textures!

Morning all.
I've not had time to blog for a couple of weeks but hope I've been keeping you up to date with the best deals via Facebook.
We've had a busy half term sharing looking after Jack, busy with work and doing DIY at home. I have Hot Wheels track, EVERYWHERE, at the moment and can't tell you how many times I've stepped on a car!!
Have a great weekend.

Lidl have a Kids Thermal event on tomorrow (Sunday 30th October) with t-shirts, leggings and hoodies included.

Boots have a fab deal on the Thomas & Friends My First Trike. It is only £16 so would make a fab Christmas present. I would grab this quick at this price!!!
We are now in the routine of Jack going to pre-school and me working two of those days. I then get to take him to nursery on Wednesday and spend the rest of week with him 🙂
I'm loving my new job and the hours. It means I have a great balance – working on my blog, spending time with Jack, housework and some me time at work!
There seem to be a few mid-season sales happening at the moment and it looks like there is more to come with half-term looming so keep an eye on my Facebook posts.
I'm off to unpack my jumpers. Enjoy your weekend.

Jack's first week at pre-school has been a success. He had a few tears when we picked him up on the first day but he has been a happy (and tired) bunny ever since. I managed to hold back the tears when dropping him off too 🙂
He's also been great with potty training, only a couple of little accidents at school. I've bought a bumper pack of little boy pants to keep in every bag and room!!!
After last night's rain I'm off to buy Jack a pac-a-mac for school. That's after we see Peppa Pig Live. I'm hoping a giant pink pig won't scare Jack 🙂

A fire extinguisher service company will be aware of local codes and advise what type to buy and where to place them.
L. Scott George knows a thing or two about protecting valuable automobiles. As president and curator of the Collier Collection and vice president of the Revs Institute for Automotive Research, George manages a cache of more than 100 historically significant vehicles at the collection's museum in Naples, Fla.
"You can't plan for every situation or protect your car from every possible danger, but there are a lot of things you can do to lower the risk," George said. "Obviously, some of what we do at the museum isn't practical for the average person, but there are common-sense things that everyone can do."
For instance, George said, it is common practice at the museum to disconnect the battery and leave little or no fuel in the cars unless they are going to be driven. "Anything you can do to reduce the risk of a spark and fire, do it," he said.
Extensive – and costly – precautions are essential when protecting vehicles like those in the Collier museum, which The New York Times declared "the finest sports car collection in America." The museum is equipped with sprinklers, smoke detectors, security alarms, cameras, impact-resistant glass and hurricane shutters. Heat detectors, which sound an alarm when a rise in temperature is sensed, are also installed. And there is enough plastic on site to cover every car in case of water intrusion through a roof leak or broken window.
"Theft is always a possibility," George said, "but accidental damage is a much more prevalent problem."
Even if you don't have a museum's worth of vehicles, there are lessons from the professionals that apply. Rick Worm, who spent 24 years as firefighter and EMT and is in his 18th year as a Loss Control Specialist at Hagerty, offered these tips to protect your collection:
Worm also offered a few caution notes regarding potential problems that may be easily overlooked: "Don't suspend items above collector vehicles; secure wall cabinets to prevent them from toppling over; and prohibit smoking inside the building. Flammable liquids, including starting fluid, fuel and cleaning chemicals should be stored in a clearly labeled, UL Listed flammable/combustible liquids storage cabinet."
George said he worries less when the automobiles in the Collier Collection are inside the museum, in the care of people who know them well. "When the cars are out of your control, that's when they're in the most danger."
Moving the cars also warrants consideration. It's important to hire a reputable transport company that understands how important the vehicles are and will handle them with care.
"You have to educate whoever is carrying the car," he said. "Don't wear anything that hangs down or sticks out like a belt buckle; don't carry screwdrivers in your pockets; cover the seats; don't lean on doors; don't support your weight on something fragile; make sure you push the car where it should be pushed; strap it down properly. We even use signs to show where to push and where not to push, where to tie down and where not to tie down. Do their thinking for them."
George said that he also wants to be updated on travel and know where the cars will be stored or where the carrier will be parked. "If they're at a show, will there be 24-hour security? Will they be properly covered in inclement weather?"
Overprotective? No way. "Remember that no one cares or knows as much about your cars as you do," George said. "Don't take anything for granted."

Entity Framework SoftUni Team Technical Trainers Software University http://softuni.bg Best practices and architecture Table of Contents Why separate models/data/client. Repository pattern Unit of work pattern Service pattern 2 3 sli.do #Entity Questions 4 Overall structure is more decoupled. Many clients can use the data and models, without knowing being coupled to things we might not use. Easier to maintain, debug and test Why separate models/data/client. Data Models Client1 Client2 Client3 5 Repository pattern 6 Repository pattern helps us make an abstraction over the DBSets, which can sometimes be an overengineering problem. Gives better decoupling and is easier to maintain. We can easily change the implementation of the provider/framework, without having to go through all it's usages in our app. Gives us the possibility to write tests, for the things that we use and not everything that comes from the DbSet DbSet is often considered being a Repository patter implementation. What it is and why to use it? 7 Example: public interface IRepository<TEntity> where TEntity : class { void Add(TEntity entity); void AddRange(IEnumerable<TEntity> entities); void Remove(TEntity entity); void RemoveRange(IEnumerable<TEntity> entities); IEnumerable<TEntity> GetAllWhere(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> where); TEntity GetFirstWhere(Expression<Func<TEntity>> where); } Additionally in the implementation of the interface, the context should be passed, or it would be even more adequate to pass only the corresponding DbSet, through the constructor. 8 Unit of work pattern 9 A Unit of Work can be defined as a collection of operations that succeed or fail as a single unit (transactional). It is a place that unites all of our entity sets. Simplifies the passing of the entity set, by just passing the UOW, to the place, where we need it. Makes testing and maintainability easier. DbContext is often referred to being a Unit of work, because it has a transactional nature and holds the DbSets. What is unit of work and why to use it? 10 public interface IUnitOfWork : IDisposable { IRepository<User> UsersRepository { get; } IRepository<Album> AlbumsRepository { get; } IRepository<Picture> PicturesRepository { get; } IRepository<Tag> TagsRepository { get; } IRepository<AlbumRole> AlbumRolesRepository { get; } IRepository<Town> TownsRepository { get; } void Commit(); } Example: 11 Services handle the business object related to Entities Services are used by Controllers Services handle DTO objects Services communicate with the repositories/unit of work, but usually implements the business logic. Easily maintainable and testable and of course decoupled from the repository. What is service pattern and why to use it? 12 Example public class EmployeesService { private readonly UnitOfWork unit; public Employee GetEmployeeByName(string name) { if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(name)) { throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(name), "Name should not be null or empty!"); } return this.unit.Employees .FindAll(employee => employee.FirstName == name) .FirstOrDefault(); } } Models 13 Overview Repo Entity Root Aggregate DB Save Save Retrieve Retrieve Service DTO Controller Uses Transforms Used by Repo Repo Repo Unit of work Best practices and architecture in EF https://softuni.bg/courses/ License This course (slides, examples, demos, videos, homework, etc.) is licensed under the "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International" license 15 Attribution: this work may contain portions from "Databases" course by Telerik Academy under CC-BY-NC-SA license Free Trainings @ Software University Software University Foundation – softuni.org Software University – High-Quality Education, Profession and Job for Software Developers softuni.bg Software University @ Facebook facebook.com/SoftwareUniversity Software University @ YouTube youtube.com/SoftwareUniversity Software University Forums – forum.softuni.bg

I just noticed something. When Thane breaks the first guy's neck, that guy is actually a placeholder of Donavan Hock from Kasumi's mission lol
- Um they look somewhat similar, but they aren't. Hock has a goatee, that guy doesn't. There is also a few other subtle differences, mainly the beard, but while they look similar, but so do many other people both in real life and in video games. Lancer1289 17:28, August 17, 2010 (UTC)
Alternate Renegade Action? Edit
On my first ME2 playthrough (imported from ME1), when you talk to the merc just after elevator, I used renegade action, but it didn't made famous "falling down" sequence, but shepard pushed him against the glass, which cracked, but didn't broke and convinced trooper to give me whatever info he needed. I couldn't find any info about this, all i found was bunch of vids of trooper falling down. Was that something extremely rare or it requires certain timing/paragon-renegade score? 22.214.171.124 22:35, February 9, 2011 (UTC)
- (edit conflict)If you used the interrupt then the merc should have gone through the window. However if you used the renegade dialogue option after the interrupt, then Shepard will push the merc into the glass, not through it. To get the falling sequence, then you need to use the interrupt, not the dialogue option. Lancer1289 22:53, February 9, 2011 (UTC)
- My apologies then, it was some time ago, and i was sure i used the interrupt.126.96.36.199 00:39, February 10, 2011 (UTC)
Telon and Chesith +40 experience points ? Edit
I opened the door where Telon and Chesith were hiding (not using the Renegade interrupt). Then using the two options giving me +7 paragon points afterwards (also asking the left three questions while in dialog). After Chesith thanking me I got my +7 paragon points but also +40 experience points.
I am on PC (german 1.02 various DLC's installed). Maybe because I was friendly throughout this quest (Paragon interrupt with wounded salarian, not killing the merc by throwing him through the window, not using Renegade interrupt on Telon). Before opening the door I have not yet used the radio in the corner.
This was not mentioned on the Main and should be confirmed by other players. I had Grunt and Miranda in my team.
- This is the first I'm hearing of this and I have never seen it happen in any of my PC or 360 games. I'm thinking that it was a glitch. Lancer1289 20:31, March 1, 2011 (UTC)
I got exp, too. It was 50 in my case, but I'm using a mass effect character and have previously completed mass effect 2, which may explain the difference in exp. 22.214.171.124 22:29, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
I can confirm (+40/+50 XP, X360). Garrus and Samara in my team, also followed +7 Paragon dialogue route. --IceQuinn (talk) 03:31, September 18, 2013 (UTC)
Smg damage upgrade Edit
The upgrade guide mentions a smg damage upgrade in this mission, but I can't see it in the text in this article. Am I guilty of too much skim reading?
188.8.131.52 10:56, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
- This would be a case of the latter. It is mentioned in the "Roof and Bridge" section, second paragraph. I won't quote it because you need to read the first paragraph as well in order to get it. Lancer1289 (talk) 19:04, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
Cheers. My eyes were obviously drawn to the bit about 12k credits!
Monty python reference
Assignments Edit
Maybe add possible assignments that you can start with items being picked up in this mission at the bottom? I personally just looked at the end to make sure I had picked everything up (which I did) just to realize 10 hours later that I had missed the Family Data assignment data.
Needless to say, adding a thing like this would of saved me 10 hours of having to redo everything.
126.96.36.199 12:26, August 25, 2013 (UTC)Exoclyps
- Interesting point. On consideration I'm in favor of that in principle (adding lists of assignments/missions that can be started to "mission summary" sections). However since that would presumably be a many-article change in organization, I think we'd have to have some policy or project level vote. Maybe an admin will weigh in with guidance or etc. Just wanted to note my support as a walkthrough contributor. Cattlesquat (talk) 13:28, August 25, 2013 (UTC)
Voice Edit
I was just playing this mission, and at the spot you hear the mercs talking through the vent I think one of them sounds like Mark Meer did the voice for him. Is there anywhere that shows if that's true, or am I hearing things? Voy101 (talk) 13:53, August 26, 2014 (UTC)

Watch The Sun Rise In The Far East
Japan is known as the Land of the Rising Sun, because as per geography this is the country that receives the first rays of the sun every single day. This country has been the source of much global changes and apart from the economic factor, it is a beautiful country that every person must take out time to visit. In recent years Japan has made a lot of progress on the economic front, but its natural beauty and history has been intact for hundreds of years. It is to view and experience this history that people from all over the world book Japan tours and travel to the Land of the Rising Sun.
If you are wondering what all can be worth seeing in this country, then the list is a very long one. There are temples, sky scrapers, bullet trains, historical landmarks and even natural sights such as forests and parks. Apart from these, there are various festivals for which you get special Japan tour packages. These festivals are an excellent way to understand and learn about the traditions and culture of this country. In essence you can be a part of a discovery and this is what you get when you are a part of the Discover Japan tours. You can book it for a single person, in which case you can become a part of a group of tourists or you can book it for an entire group. The packages are organized by professional companies whose main aim is to help you have an amazing holiday experience.
As a destination for holiday, Japan has become very popular because there are many things that one can try here for the first time. The festivals are one, and in addition to that there is the authentic Japanese cuisine. When you are here on the best Japan tours you get an opportunity to relish the flavors of Japan, which are hard to replicate and cannot be captured by even the best cooks in other countries. If you are fond of eating and trying on new flavors then you should book a Japan travel tour where you would get a chance to try the food and flavors of different parts of this country. You would most definitely get to try something different in every corner of Japan, which would add to your taste buds.
Historically speaking, Japan has a long history of war, Hiroshima and Nagasaki being the prime examples. But today these places have also become a part of historical tourism. People from different countries come here to learn about the life and times of people during the World War and how the city survived after the atom bomb dropping. It is intriguing and that is why you have a separate Japan tour package that includes a visit to these places. Reading so much you must have realized that Japan is much more than electronics and conglomerates. There is a lot that one can learn in this country.

DIY Bug GardenI remember the first time my little boys brought me some flowers (weeds) they had picked in the field next-door to our house. They were beautiful weeds and they was so proud of themselves. I remember thinking I have the sweetest kids in the world. I gave them the biggest hug, took the "flowers" inside and put them in a vase. We watered and took care of them until after a day or two they wilted and were thrown in the garbage. The next day, my boys came back with more flowers … [Read more...] about DIY Bug Garden

EASTER egg hunts may be done for the year but never fear, mushroom hunting season has only just begun.
Hundreds of Victorians will flock to the forests from now until June on "shroom" quests that give grown men and women a similar thrill to children on Easter egg hunts.
Mushroom tour guide Cameron Russell said "shrooming" or "mushroom hunting" is no new craze.
"Victoria probably has the most amount of mushroom tours anywhere in the world," he said.
In fact, he's had people attend his tours then start their own as demand for information on fungus has flourished.
Mr Russell — who has spent more than 2500 hours searching for mushies to the point he can spot clusters while driving at 100km/h — will take hundreds of enthusiasts through forests at the Mornington Peninsula this season in search of edible treats.
But it's no easy feat to spot the ones you can eat — Mr Russell said of about 10,000 species, almost 98 per cent are toxic.
"It's pretty easy to get it wrong and become dead, silly or both," he said.
Still, every year hundreds of Victorians make that exact mistake.
Austin Hospital's Victorian Poisons Information Centre gets up to 250 calls each mushroom season from people who munch on mushies then fret they have been poisoned.
Poisons centre manager Jeff Robinson said those who eat toxic mushrooms could expect anything from an upset stomach to kidney and liver failure and in rare cases, death.
"There's a perception that all wild mushrooms are safe and that's just not the case," he said.
"Our advice is if you pick a wild mushroom, don't eat it unless you're an expert or you can get it tested."
For more information on the tours go to mushroomtours.com or call 03 8679 6502.

Thousand Islands district head Ahmad Ludfi said in Jakarta on Saturday the figure represented an almost 50 percent increase from the 680,000 visitors recorded last year.
The area hosts 5,000 tourists every weekend, who mostly opt to visit Bidadari Island, Tidung Island, Onrust Island, Untung Jawa Island and Rambut Island, Ahmad added.
"Most of the tourists make a one-day trip to the Thousand Islands," he said.
Ahmad added that the figure could be higher if there wasn't such limited boat services connecting the islands and mainland Jakarta.
The district administration is seeking to develop the area's infrastructure and supporting facilities so as to make it easier for tourists to reach the islands.
The Thousand Islands, part of which makes up a national park area, consists of 78 islands, only 10 of which are inhabited. The district covers a total of 107,489 hectares.

Andy Murray's participation marks Great Britain down as favourites to defeat Belgium and lift the Davis Cup, according to Roger Federer.
GB have seen off United States, France and Australia en route to this week's final in Ghent, which will be played on clay as Belgium look to make use of home advantage.
World number two Murray will lead his team - which also features his brother Jamie, as well as Kyle Edmund and Dominic Inglot - while David Goffin - ranked 16th in the world - heads up the Belgian side.
And Federer, who helped Switzerland to a 3-1 win over France in last year's final, believes Murray's presence could prove key as GB seek a first title since 1936.
"Great Britain are the favourites, in my opinion, because they have Andy in the team," he said.
"It's nice to have someone like him in the team that can play singles, doubles, singles if he had to.
"Even if he doesn't play, they still have a very strong doubles [team], because doubles can always be crucial.
"Then again, Belgium is at home. I really like Goffin, a great player. Good guy, too. Great attitude. I feel like he's the kind of guy that can handle pressure.
"But still in most of the matches they [Great Britain] have their chance, that's why I favour them in the final."

Everyone is very much familiar with the 3D Touch facility of iPhone 6s series. It certainly had made certain things a lot easier, but the limitation is that there is no option to customize this 3D Touch shortcut menu. If you are having a Jailbroken iPhone 6s or 6s Plus with iOS 9, then a new Cydia tweak called Brevis will remove this limitation.
In case you are using any earlier version of iPhone, then you will need to install a tweak to get artificial 3D Touch facility. We have already covered 3D Touch tweaks topic, you can refer to that. Anyways, coming back to Brevis; the tweak is available on Cydia's BigBoss repo and it supports only iOS 9 or later.
The primary job of the tweak is to let you customize the 3D Touch shortcut menu. That includes customizing font size, icon size, icon only option, and many more features to come soon. In addition, you can also remove the background blur effect when you 3D Touch any app icon.
When removing blur effects, it is also recommended to highlight the 3D Touch Shortcut menu, to make it visible from the background Home Screen icons. The tweak certainly helps in customizing things the way you like in reference to 3D Touch shortcut menu.
Brevis isn't free, but if customization is the only reason for Jailbreaking, then the tweak is worth every penny. In addition, the developer has also promised to add more features soon, so overall it's a nice bet to place.
Price: $0.99 | Repo: BigBoss
What was your reason for Jailbreaking you iPhone? Was it only for customization? Share it with us and other readers by commenting below or on Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus.

Have I mentioned that we're geocachers?
Way back in 2001 I had just moved from Reno, NV to Corona, CA and didn't know a soul. I had two tiny kids and my very first internet connection. A lucky random click during my first exploration into the mighty world wide web brought me to the Geocaching.com site and I was instantly hooked.
Back then there were less than three thousand geocaches hidden in the entire world. Today? Today there are nearly six thousand caches within seventy five miles of our house here in England.
In short order I bought myself a handheld GPS, printed out some details and packed the kids in the Suburban to find the first of what became hundreds of caches.
Today I've found nearly three hundred caches in seven states and three countries. I honestly haven't found many caches in the last few years. Texas heat and flat terrain made it less appealing, and there were none at all hidden near our small Brazilian beach town, but sudden inspiration sent me on a search close to home in the UK before Brian and I head off to Brazil again.
We picked a beautifully sunny September day and hit a local nature preserve on our hunt for at least four of the twelve caches hidden there.
Caching is so much easier now in some ways. My phone carries all the information I need right on the spot. I just did a local search (I use the c:geo free app) and off we went.
We packed light since this wasn't going to be an epic hike kind of day. I should have at least remembered to bring my own pen.
I also should have brought a plastic bag or berry basket. The blackberries were everywhere!
We crossed the fields and entered the trees, and my signal stayed strong.
The first cache on the list? Total bust. It's a microcache, which means it's a tiny container. In this case, a 35mm film canister. Does anyone even remember what those are anymore? I would have to explain it to my kids.
Either way, we couldn't find it. I think my too-long-unused cache finding skills are a bit rusty.
Between the first and second location we stumbled across this shrine.
A father lost a daughter to cancer way too young. He had a spiritual moment after her death in these woods and let a note on this tree explaining what had happened, and saying that he comes back there often to think about his girl. Over the last couple of years other hikers have left coins, tokens, momentos and notes in honor of his daughter. It was very sweet.
Not far past the memorial tree, we zeroed in on our second cache location and started the hunt.
Twenty minutes of bashing about in the trees and scraping our heads on branches left us frustrated. Again? Seriously? I used to be able to spot them from twenty feet away!
We took a break to gather our thoughts and moved on to the next location, which brought us through a surprising but lovely carved arch in the middle of nowhere.
And down a really gorgeous and mossy path.
To a third cache location which stumped us yet again. What?! Three caches and no luck!
What has happened to my well developed spidey sense? I thought for sure I'd find this one since it was supposed to be an easy find, but nope.
Not ready to give up empty handed we headed back towards the park entrance and tried one last time to find the elusive little box.
The morning humbled me. The only one I found was the easiest one of the bunch and was clearly a good cache for families with small children. The simple toy and trinkets were not much to look at, and I had to run inside the visitor's center to borrow a pen since someone made of with the one that should have been in the box, but I found it.
Which gives me enough of a thrill that I can't wait to do it again!
And also makes me want to go back to that park and have another look at two of the three that I couldn't find. Now that I've slept on it for a few days, I think I might know where to look. I had just forgotten how tricky the hiders can be.
One of the things I love about caching is that it brings me to places I might never have found unless I was on the hunt for a cache. I had no idea this park was so big, or so beautiful. I wish I had found it earlier so we could have spent a few sunny summer afternoons there with a backpack and a picnic lunch. All those years ago in California I learned my way around the huge tangle of freeways and suburbs hunting for new caches, and again I found incredible parks and green spaces that I never would have known about.
And for further good news? There are about fifteen geocaches hidden within a few miles of our apartment in Brazil. Guess what I'll be doing when we get back!

Malaria in the Dominican Republic
Posted by Stuart Rose on
Dear Traveler:
The Dominican Republic is a popular destination, but there is the risk of malaria. Be aware, also, of the (greater?) risk of dengue fever and chikungunya fever: these are viral diseases transmitted by daytime-biting mosquitoes. There are no vaccines for these illnesses.
CDC has received multiple reports of malaria among US travelers returning from the Dominican Republic. With the exception of the cities of Santiago and Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic continues to be a country with malaria transmission, including the popular resorts such as Punta Cana and Puerto Plata.
Travelers to Dominican Republic are reminded to take malaria prevention measures, which includes preventing mosquito bites in the evening and at night. The CDC also recommends antimalarial medication for all travelers going to the Dominican Republic, outside of Santiago and Santo Domingo. There are many effective preventive antimalarial options for travel to these areas including: atovaquone-proguanil (Malarone), chloroquine (or hydroxychloroquine), doxycycline, or mefloquine.
Malaria and other diseases including dengue and chikungunya are spread by mosquito bites, therefore measures to prevent mosquito bites should be taken regardless of area of travel in the Dominican Republic. These measures include using insect repellent on your skin when outdoors, staying in an air-conditioned or well-screened area, and sleeping under an insecticide treated bed net during the peak biting period for mosquitoes (dusk and dawn).
Note: Dengue and Chikungunya fevers are transmitted by daytime-biting mosquitoes.
See the CDC Malaria website (www.cdc.gov/malaria) for additional health information about malaria including prevention of mosquito bites and drugs for malaria prevention. For general health information for travelers to all areas of the world, see the CDC Traveler's Health website (http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/).

Women's Afrobasket: Nigeria qualify for quarter-finals after win over Egypt
Egypt's women national basketball team have lost 106-72 to Nigeria in their...
Zesco United Striker Idris Mbombo has been ruled out of Al Ahly clash in CAF Champions League Group A opener on Saturday.
Zesco's top goal scorer in the Champions League with 4 goals missed the team's training session on Thursday after suffering from a back injury.
"Mbombo is still undergoing physio but he is responding well to treatment and we thought that maybe for this game that we rest him," Zesco team physician Dr Stephen Mbewe told the club's official website.
"Apart from that we don't have any other injuries and everyone is OK," Mbewe concluded.
The 20-year-old is the third player from the Zambian side to miss Saturday's clash with Al Ahly, after striker Jesse Were and defender Ben Banh were suspended due to accumulation of yellow cards.
Zesco United qualified to the group-stages after defeating Stade Malien 5-2 on aggregate and were drawn in Group A that joins eight-time winners Al Ahly, Wydad Casablanca and ASEC Mimosas.
