Besides the logistic system the working structures in a company become increasingly important. With the introduction of flexible working structures, the role of workers in a simulation has to be redefined. It is essential to model workers in varying levels of detail. These levels have to match the levels of detail in the simulation of material flow. A… (More)

There is a demand in European high schools for learning discrete-event simulation. The best system for this appears to be micro-GPSS. Up to now, micro-GPSS has lacked a Graphical User Interface for the build up of models. In this paper, two projects for such a GUI system are presented: WebGPSS, where the GUI is developed as a Java-Applet and the system runs… (More)

India based smartphoen maker Lava has recently announced that it will soon launch its latest handset called Iris Pro. Precisely, the company will launch the device on Friday (17th, 2014) in Delhi.
The Device falls in the line of the company's rich Iris smartphone line up. The claims that the handset is filled with most of the high end specs.
Recommended: Top 10 Latest Smartphones with Biggest Display Screen So Far
Without disclosing the specs and details of the device, the company says that the first smartphone to be launched in the series will weigh just 114 grams, positioning it amongst India's lightest phones with a screen size of 4.7 inches or more. The display used is from Sharp, a leading Japanese LCD manufacturer.

With the tagline "Art Meets Smart", this Iris Pro handset promises to blend looks with smart hardware and software features like CABC (Content Adaptive backlight control), fully laminated touch panel and Corning Gorilla glass.
The company has already released a 35 seconds long teaser of the handset on YouTube. However, the video also doesn't reveal anything as such.
However, as you watch the brief teaser, perhaps the company can be understood to be focusing much on the design and smart features in the upcoming smartphone.
The upcoming smartphone from Lava will surely make a lot of differences in the mid-range smartphone battle taking place in India. However, among others Chinese vendors like Huawei, Gionee and other including domestic phone makers will likely be affected more.

And im not sure if rejecting will do anything. Will theyre old Arts stronger ?? I dont think so. Its only the Way to organize your Unions a little. That comes from the XBOX Version. You cant lock or unlock Art using in the XBOX Version so having your Chars 345.346 Arts is not so good since on the Battlefield you have to much command Possibilitys and most of the Time not thoose you want.

HARRY Potter and Ron Weasley were photographed in High Beech, but only one was a star of the world-famous wizard films.
Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films, was filming a scene for his latest film Driving Lessons starring Julie Walters, who also plays his mother, Molly Weasley, in the Harry Potter films.
High Beech residents spotted the cast and crew filming in the area, and managed to pose for photographs with the stars.
By coincidence, one of those snapped with Grint was five-year-old Harry Potter, from High Beech.
Harry's mother, Sandra, said: "They went up and down Church Road about five times - I had to go and see what was going on."
She said her son's name was purely a coincidence, and he was not named after the world's best known boy wizard.
She said: "He was always going to be a Harry if he was a boy, but he does love the films."
Driving Lessons sees Grint struggle to deal with his domineering mother, only for his world to change when he meets, and starts working for a retired actress (Walters).
Commenting on the filming, Mrs Potter said: "They wanted something near the M25 that was rural, so High Beech was the perfect choice."

When I got back to Saigon at the beginning of February, my buddy Will invited me to a yoga class. He told me he had started going to yoga regularly and was digging it. I was interested and tagged along to class later that day.
It started with practicing yoga. But it ended with a shift in how I perceive my world.
The first few days were really challenging. My muscles burned and my body shook during the poses. I was sore. I counted down the minutes until class was over. I wanted to scream at the teachers for pushing me too hard.
But, I pushed through and continued to show up to class.
After about a week of regular classes, everything changed.
I stopped counting down the minutes until class ended; I started counting down the minutes until each new class.
Now, I wanted to yell at the teachers who didn't push the class hard enough. I was still sore but I woke up excited, almost craving that day's yoga class.
I was hooked.
Fast forward 7 weeks. I've been going to yoga class almost every day for the past 50 days.
After 50 days, yoga has changed my life in so many ways and more drastically than I ever could have imagined.
Fixing my back and posture
Before doing yoga, I didn't think that I had a bad back. I felt my posture was okay and I never thought it was an issue.
I was wrong.
Sometimes you don't know how broken something is until it's been fixed.
The truth is, my back and posture was terrible. I was conditioned to avoid certain movements to avoid back pain and didn't even realize it. My posture was awful and I couldn't even correctly lay flat on my back.
Now that yoga has 'fixed' my back I move fluidly and with a new awareness. Every movement I make feels good. It's amazing.
I was so out of touch and didn't even realize it.
What else could be broken in my life that I'm oblivious to?
Lower body and core power
50 days of yoga has been remarkable for my legs and core. I've seen my core, legs and butt (you know you love it, ladies!) get bigger and more powerful. Basically, everything from my midsection down looks and feels stronger than ever.
That being said, I've also noticed a decrease in my upper body mass. But from an overall muscle mass perspective, the gains in my lower body and core far outweigh the losses from my upper body.
Honestly, I wasn't expecting many changes in my body from yoga. I thought I was doing a good job hitting all my muscle groups when I lifted weights. The reality though is that my previous workout routine was severely lacking.
Another assumption I wasn't even aware I was making proven false by yoga.
High quality girls
Yoga girls rock. The girls that I've met at yoga has been warm, down to earth, fit, adventurous, and beautiful inside and out.
If I had not started practicing yoga, I never would have know about the incredible community of girls there. I love yoga and I would do it in a room full of fat dudes if that was the only option, but the females are definitely an added bonus. 😀
Yoga has opened me to a new world of connections with some remarkable people and for that I'm genuinely thankful.
What other connections has my life been missing that I don't know about!?
Increased calmness and mental clarity
Yoga provides a great mental reset. It helps me stay focused on what matters and disregard what doesn't. No matter what my mood is when I walk into yoga class, I exit feeling fantastic. It's like yoga lifts whatever weight you have off of your shoulders.
The mental effects last long after class. I feel more focused during the days and sleep better at night.
Before starting yoga, I thought that my headspace was fine. Maybe it was. But, now I understand how much opportunity for mental growth and improvement there is.
Where else can I improve that I'm not currently conscious of?
While I've become a huge advocate for yoga and definitely recommend that you try it, the experience has been bigger than that. The most important thing has been realizing how oblivious I was to all the effects that yoga would have on my life.
You don't realize how limited your spectrum of experience and understanding is until you start to push on its boundaries.
Should you start practicing yoga? Sure, if you want to. But, more than that, get out of your comfort zone. Expand your horizons with new experiences. Expose yourself to things that stretch you (get it?).
Yoga was certainly a catalyst for me. I can't say what it will be for you.. But, I know you certainly won't find it unless you take the leap into something new.

DISGUSTING: Hillary Clinton Forced to Delay Campaign Ads on Weather Channel During Hurricane Matthew Due to Backlash
TALK ABOUT DEPLORABLE … Team Hillary was forced to delay the running of her political ads on the Weather Channel during Hurricane Matthew as they faced a backlash from the public. Maybe Hillary should have donated the $63K to Hurricane relief rather than a pathetic ad buy during a time of crisis. But as we know, Democrats never let a good crisis go to waste.
Hillary Clinton wanted to take advantage of Floridians and having them watch her political ads as they faced Hurricane Matthew and were potential victims during a natural disaster. But Hillary cares more about herself and her political ambitions than she does the people of Florida going through a natural disaster. Now, Hillary Clinton looks like an exploitative fool as she was forced to delay the ads due to he bad judgement. Once again America I will say it, WAKE THE HELL UP … WHY WOULD ANYONE VOTE FOR SUCH AN INDIVIDUAL WHO PUTS THEMSELVES BEFORE WE THE PEOPLE!!!
Deplorable Move by Hillary Clinton
The Hillary Clinton campaign has delayed a planned Florida ad buy on the Weather Channel after facing criticism for targeting voters in the path of Hurricane Matthew.
"We have requested that stations in Florida delay any of those ads on the Weather Channel until after the storm passes," spokesman Jesse Ferguson said in a statement Thursday.
Politico first reported that the Clinton campaign had planned to spend $63,000 on Weather Channel ads in Florida over a five-day stretch starting Thursday, just as the storm nears the coast.
Politico noted that Donald Trump and other candidates have advertised on the same channel this year. But the bid to capture support from anxious Florida residents in the path of a deadly storm that has triggered mass evacuation orders and is expected to strengthen soon into a destructive Category 4 created a bit of an optics problem.
"If they're out being too political at a time when the country has its prayers with the people affected, I think it could backfire," Rep. Greg Walden, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, told Fox News earlier Thursday, before the delay was announced.

Search Continues for Missing US Cargo Ship El Faro Caught in Hurricane Joaquin … 28 Americans Aboard Cargo Ship
The search continues for the missing US flagged cargo ship El Faro which left Jacksonville, Florida, en route to Puerto Rico on Tuesday. According to accounts, at 7:20 a.m. Thursday, the Coast Guard said it received notification that the ship had lost propulsion and had a 15-degree list as the ship was caught in the middle of Hurricane Joaquin. There has been no communication with the ship since. There are 33 crew members aboard the cargo ship, 28 of which are Americans that is currently lost at sea.
ABC Breaking News | Latest News Videos
Search crews are continuing to look for a U.S. cargo ship caught in Hurricane Joaquin, one day after a life ring from the ship was found.
U.S. Coast Guard, Navy and Air Force planes and helicopters are looking for the El Faro across a broad expanse of the Atlantic Ocean around Crooked Island today. They resumed their efforts at first light.
The U.S. Coast Guard found a life ring Saturday – the first trace of El Faro. The discovery serves as validation that search crews are in the right area.
Two additional life rings have been found, the Coast Guard said, but it's unclear if they belonged to the ship.
The 790-foot cargo ship vanished 72 hours ago, near the eye of Hurricane Joaquin. The ship is carrying 28 U.S. citizens, as well as five Polish nationals.
El Faro was traveling from Jacksonville, Florida to San Juan, Puerto Rico as Joaquin churned over the Atlantic Ocean. The ship sent a distress signal at 7:20 a.m. Thursday saying it had lost electricity, was taking on water and listing at 15 degrees.
UPDATE I: Search for missing cargo ship in Bahamas enters third day.
Search-and-rescue crews found three life rings in waters to the northeast of Crooked Island in the Bahamas, about 75 miles (120 km) from the ship's last known position before it went missing, the Coast Guard said on Sunday.
The Coast Guard confirmed that one of the life rings was from the El Faro.
"Because we found a life ring doesn't tell us anything more than that we are searching in the right area," said Coast Guard spokesman Petty Officer Bobby Nash.
The Coast Guard and U.S. Air Force sent out four C-130 search and rescue planes at dawn on Sunday, and at least one Coast Guard ship was headed to the area, Nash said.

Embattled NBC News Anchor Brian Williams Taking Leave of Absence Amid Iraq Faux Helicopter Story … Is This the Beginning of the End?
Lying Brian Williams is said to be stepping aside from his anchor position at NBC's Nightly News, but is this really just the beginning of the end? Williams' fabricated and continually embellished Iraq helicopter story has gotten him in a world of trouble. even though he had been told to stop telling the faux news account by people who knew the story was made up and false, he did not. Williams wrote a memo to the NBC News staff, "As managing editor of NBC Nightly News, I have decided to take myself off of my daily broadcast for the next several days, and Lester Holt has kindly agreed to sit in for me to allow us to adequately deal with this issue. Upon my return, I will continue my career-long effort to be worthy of the trust of those who place their trust in us."
UPON YOUR RETURN? Don't count on it. It is beginning to sound like all Brian Williams does is make stuff up to a made for TV movie, rather than the truth of what actually happened. Helicopter hard landings in Iraq, taking enemy fire, looking down the very tube of an RPG and even seeing floating bodies post Katrina, Williams may want to write Hollywood movie scripts, rather than report the news, because it would appear he had an issue reporting facts.
Brian Williams said Saturday that he will step aside as anchor of his nightly NBC News broadcast for "several days" as a result of the controversy generated by his comments about his reporting during the Iraq war and Hurricane Katrina.
With his troubles mounting by the day, Williams said he had decided to take himself off his signature newscast, "Nightly News with Brian Williams," while NBC looks into statements he has made about his work in interviews stretching back more than a decade.
"As managing editor of NBC Nightly News, I have decided to take myself off of my daily broadcast for the next several days, and Lester Holt has kindly agreed to sit in for me to allow us to adequately deal with this issue," Williams wrote in a memo to the NBC News staff that was made public by the network. "Upon my return, I will continue my career-long effort to be worthy of the trust of those who place their trust in us."
Williams, 55, has been under fire since Wednesday after he apologized to a group of Iraq war veterans for apparently exaggerating the danger he and an NBC News crew faced while covering the start of the war in 2003. Williams had described coming under rocket and gunfire while traveling with U.S. soldiers in a military helicopter that was damaged and forced to land. The soldiers disputed Williams's account, saying his aircraft had not been fired upon, prompting Williams to recant the story.
From Ace of Spades comes the below VIDEO, Midnight Brian Williams Update: Williams Claimed to Have Looked Down the Very Tube of the RPG That Shot Down the Lead Copter in 2007. Williams may want to remember stories of credibility, not ones that make him sound like he is some brave soul that has escaped death. In the video below he goes on to spew more BS about all these people who died in the Super Dome following Hurricane Katrina. Hmm, I guess we can't interview those folks to see if Williams is telling the truth, they are dead. Or so he says. Williams says, "We don't have problems going to dangerous places, a lot of us consider that our jobs." There lies the lie.
"It gets me to thinking, I've been very lucky the way my life has turned out, I've been very lucky to have survived a few things that I've been involved in, at a perception a few minutes ago, I was remembering something I tend to forget, the war with Hezballah in Israel, a few years back, where there were Katuyshka rockets passing just beneath the helicopter I was riding in. A few years before that, you go back to Iraq, and I looked down the tube of an RPG that had been fired at us and it hit the chopper in front of ours."
Best article name, from the NY Times, 'Anchors Aweigh'.
UPDATE I: Good grief, now there are questions whether Brian Williams reported stories following Hurricane Katrina truthfully. On Friday, NBC network officials said an internal review had been launched to vet Williams's statements. His comments about his work covering Hurricane Katrina in 2005 are also part of the review. It would appear Brian Williams was full of crap in his reporting on Katrina as well.
NBC News launched an internal investigation Friday into statements made by its lead anchor, Brian Williams, about his reporting from Iraq in 2003, as well as stories he told about his award-winning coverage of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The investigation, confirmed by NBC officials, represents a change in the network's attitude toward its popular anchor only a day after senior managers appeared to have accepted his apology for misstating the facts surrounding his excursion on a military helicopter while reporting on the start of the Iraq war nearly 12 years ago.
Williams and NBC won a Peabody Award for reporting on Katrina's impact on New Orleans and its surroundings. Williams had recently ascended to anchor, and he flew to report live on the Category 5 storm a few days before it struck Louisiana on Aug. 29, 2005. Williams reported daily from the city's French Quarter and its convention center and Superdome, where residents sought shelter.

UNREAL … City of New York Hits Hurricane Sandy Victims With 'Failure To Maintain' Property Citation
Just when Hurricane Sandy victims thought that it could not get any worse …
Just how ignorant is government bureaucracy? Talk about "Big Government" gone crazy. The answer appears to be quite a bit. Rosanne and Joe Cavaliere, residents in a Queens, NY community actually received a citation for notice from the city for "failure to maintain" their property. Are you friggin kidding me? I guess this is part of the "no red tape" that President Barack Obama promised during his first photo-op when he went to the Sandy ravaged area prior to the 2012 election.
Residents in one Queens neighborhood are crying foul after they were written up for failing to clean up the city's own mess. It is yet another new complication in life after Superstorm Sandy.
Rosanne and Joe Cavaliere are still trying to clean up from the hurricane.
They have branches through their roof, busted front windows, and, to add insult to injury, they recently received a citation notice from the city.
Could you imagine? Folks in NY and NJ are still trying to get back on their feet after Hurricane Sandy that still has many individuals without power and homes and the City of New York in their infinite wisdom look to extort money from victims with such citations. Way to go Mayor Bloomberg. You are a man of the people.

New York City Hurricane Sandy Victims' Homes Looted over Thanksgiving Holiday
I guess there really is no honor among thieves …
As if the victims of Hurricane Sandy have not gone through and lost enough. Now it is being reported that storm victims in New York City and some of the most devastated areas have had their homes looted as well over Thanksgiving. One of the areas reporting looting is the Breezy Point section of Queens, NY that was one of the most devastated areas where hundreds of people lost their homes. Now we learn that others were robbed and looted on Wednesday or Thursday when many residents were away for the holiday.
Some residents of a New York City neighborhood that suffered fire and flooding during Superstorm Sandy say thieves looted their damaged houses over Thanksgiving.
The New York Post reports that thieves struck at least three homes in the Breezy Point section of Queens.
The Post reports that there were 14 home break-ins in Breezy Point from Nov. 12 to Nov. 18. There were none during the same period last year.

Ten years ago: American diplomat Laurence Foley was assassinated in front of his house in Amman, Jordan, in the first such attack on a U.S. diplomat in decades. Russian President Vladimir Putin led a national day of mourning as relatives and friends grieved for the more than 100 captives who died in the siege at a Moscow theater.

KCFM holds afternoon tea for the elderly
KCFM has hosted an afternoon tea party, putting on food and entertainment for elderly people who are alone and isolated at Christmas.
The Afternoon Tea took place on 20th December at the Freedom Centre in Hull.
The station says it wanted to do something that would make a difference this Christmas, and working with local community groups across East Yorkshire it identified those most vulnerable and isolated and invited 38 of them to be spoilt and enjoy a great afternoon.
Everyone from local taxi firms to the venue itself offered their services free of charge to ensure those attending didn't have anything to worry about were just able to focus on having a great time. Guests were provided with a full afternoon tea, along with entertainment from some local acts and even presents to take home.
This is the first year that KCFM have hosted an event of this nature and plan on continuing the idea.
KCFM's Programme Manager Sam Heywood said of the event: "So many of our listeners have given up their time and resources or donated gifts for our guests, helping make sure it'll really be a special afternoon. The most important thing we can offer is a good natter – so the whole KCFM team are going down on the day to say hi. It's the opportunity to meet others and have a good gossip that makes such a difference. Next year I want to do something even bigger!
KCFM had support from many local businesses and people, including a Christmas Cake from Sugar and Spice, entertainment from Rich Daniels, Becky Norman and the children from Italia Conti Hull.

text: Slightly stemming from my previous blog question, I've found numerous sources stating the number of active avatars on Pandora at the time of the film as around twenty.

Read Abstract
Microarrays are powerful tools for high throughput analysis, and hundreds or thousands of molecular interactions can be assessed simultaneously using very small amounts of analytes. Nucleotide microarrays are well established in plant research, but carbohydrate microarrays are much less established, and one reason for this is a lack of suitable glycans with which to populate arrays. Polysaccharide microarrays are relatively easy to produce because of the ease of immobilizing large polymers noncovalently onto a variety of microarray surfaces, but they lack analytical resolution because polysaccharides often contain multiple distinct carbohydrate substructures. Microarrays of defined oligosaccharides potentially overcome this problem but are harder to produce because oligosaccharides usually require coupling prior to immobilization. We have assembled a library of well characterized plant oligosaccharides produced either by partial hydrolysis from polysaccharides or by de novo chemical synthesis. Once coupled to protein, these neoglycoconjugates are versatile reagents that can be printed as microarrays onto a variety of slide types and membranes. We show that these microarrays are suitable for the high throughput characterization of the recognition capabilities of monoclonal antibodies, carbohydrate-binding modules, and other oligosaccharide-binding proteins of biological significance and also that they have potential for the characterization of carbohydrate-active enzymes.

So Im seeing this guy, and this past weekend he went down on each other for the first time. After, we were cuddling and he said one day I could sleep over if I'd like to.
Does this mean he wants to have sex?
I'm a virgin and we've been going pretty slow, and I know he wants to have sex and he's been very patient with me for going slow. I want to have sex with him, but him fingering me still kind of hurts, so I'm worried about pain.
Most Helpful Guy
Yes. That's exactly what it means. The bed is for two things. Sex and sleeping. At your ages, this ain't no slumber party he's asking for.11|00|0

The raid, which came after reports circulated that the venue was used for gambling, saw 600 betting slips and over B16,000 seized.
Maj Sathit Naikun of the Military Circle 41 and Wichit Police Chief Col Nikorn Somsuk led officers to raid the Step Up pub in Soi Jaroensap on the Muangtong-Khaokhad Rd in Vichit at 8:30pm on Saturday night after residents reported that people gathered inside the venue to participate in illegal football gambling.
Upon arrival, officials found the shop owner and staff gambling inside the venue. Police seized 600 betting slips, B16,545 in cash and three computers from venue, and 22 people were taken to Vichit Police Station to face illegal gambling charges.
Maj Sathit said, "We received information from Vichit Police that illegal gambling has been taking place in the Vichit area.
"Following checks, Vichit police arrested two gamblers last weekend, then today we learned there were more gamblers so we led a team to check the area," he said.
"I will have police in every police station check their respective areas and rid the areas of all illegal gambling," he added.

When Clinton Collins pursued a career in the Air Force, he never expected to someday become a "military Mr. Mom," who worried about things like shampoo and fresh vegetables.
"It's kind of interesting," he told Early Show national correspondent Hattie Kaufmann. "When I was growing up I always wanted girlfriends and I always wanted all these women in my life and look at me now. I've got three little girls and a beautiful wife."
While his wife, Christine, is deployed in Afghanistan as an Air Force captain and trauma nurse, Clinton lives on base, raising their three daughters - Kennedy 12, Taylor 4, and Reagan, 2.
And he is not alone. With women making up nearly 20 percent of Air Force personnel, many military families find themselves coping without mom, reports Reader's Digest, which this month looked at dads who are "keeping the home fires burning."
The Collins children talk to their mother via Skype and are getting used to dad's style of cooking, cleaning and doing their hair.
Collins says he draws on the organizational skills he developed during his own years of active duty to keep his home in working order. He acknowledges that he now can relate to mothers and admits that their job is really one of the toughest.

We spent 5 days here enjoying the warm (hot!) July weather in FL. The condo is comfortable and homey. It's a quick walk to the beach or the pool, but it stays nice and cool on the inside if you want to stay out of the sun. Would stay again in a heartbeat!
Great location, very easy access to the beach, and all the amenities of home! Everything about our stay was exceptionally good, and the owner provided excellent, timely information and service. Will definitely stay here again!!!
We rented "One Particular Harbour" from July 10 to 22 and our expectations were exceeded with this beautiful condo. It had everything that we needed: a kitchen stocked with all the appliances, cookware, and utensils needed, extra linens, beach towels, games and beach equipment. Larger beach equipment (bikes, surfboards) could be rented at the clubhouse with a one-time $20 fee for the duration of your stay (well worth it)!
The condo was immaculate, well organized, and had a beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony, of which we could enjoy watching the sunrise. The owner was great at responding to our emails in a timely manner and answering our questions.
The condo itself was a 4-5 minute walk from the beach, and the best positioned condo in the complex in terms of being between both clubhouses and the closest to the crosswalk to the beach.
We will definitely be returning to New Smyrna Beach in the future and when we do, we will be staying at "One Particular Harbour, " a paradise away from home.
This was our 2nd visit to the condo. Yet again we had an amazing time & love it so much!! Can't wait until we can get back again!
Just spent a great week in this condo. We have been visiting New Smyrna Beach for over 30 years and have tried many condos. This is one the best I've seen!!! I don't think we ever said, "wish this condo had...". It was very clean, neat and organized. I love the fact that there were no owner personal items to work around or worry about. This was truly a renter's paradise!
The walk across to the beach is very short, no codes to get in or off the beach. The first couple days I was there alone and I felt really secure with the gated complex and my car was in the garage. The garage was closed at night which provided me with an even more secure feeling. Cindy's instructions on how to get in and where everything was - absolutely perfect!!! No problems there. My husband joined me early in the week and he was thrilled with the setup and view.
The beds are high and I am short but there were these neat steps that made getting in and out a breeze. And the beds themselves were very comfortable. Linens were very nice. Everything was laid out in a great way, bedrooms are well separated for privacy, master bathroom is huge, lots of drawers and space and the jetted tub was great.
We loved being close to JB's Fish Camp, Ocean's Seafood, Norwood's and Dolphin View. We were able to get our fill of seafood. Great trip, awesome condo. We hope to come back to this condo again, it's a winner.
This condo was perfect for our family of 3. Our daughter loved the 2nd bedroom! Cindy was great to work with and quick to respond. The pools were both very well maintained, plenty of chairs & tables. We hope to return in the future!

Volquartsen Exact Edge Extractor for Rem 597
Quantity in Basket: none
Code: VCREE
Shipping Weight: 0.00 pounds
Now Volquartsen has the Exact Edge Extractor for the Remington 597 series of
The Volquartsen Exact Edge Extractor is manufactured
through an EDM
process to produce exacting tolerances. This extractor
will not lose its edge under impact such as other
extractors made from stamped steel or titanium that will
have their edges "roll over" and actually cause
extraction problems after a short period of use. Volquartsen's
extractor features a very precise "hook point." It is made
of A2 tool steel and is
hardened to a Rc 58 to withstand years of use and
still maintain its edge. Volquartsen is able to hold the
tolerances to +/-.0001" by utilizing the EDM mfg process.

Works Awesome A Must Have
Machined of a much harder grade steel than the OEM extractor eliminates stovepipes!
I just had it installed my 597,it didnt realy have a problem before,unless i used led bullets instead of plated.But after i installed it i got a full 30 rounds in my remington 30 rounder with no stoves or jams it is realy better quality just by looking at it good buy.
Excellent aftermarket part. I installed the extractor and fired the rifle in under 10 minutes. This product made me rethink selling my 597.
I installed my new Volquartsen extractor in less than 20 minutes and then went out to the range. Not one single FTE!!! This is a great upgrade to any older 597 experiencing this issue.
Awesome! My brand new 597 was stove piping every 4th or 5th round even after cleaning. After installing the exact edge extractor I have not had a single FTE...rapid fire or slow fire it just works!
Works awesome. Very easy to install. NO more stove pipes. Get one!!
Great product !!

Alice Noone was a minor villain in the TV series Sons of Anarchy who had a small but intensely memorable role in Season 6 episode "Sweet and Vaded".
Alice Noone is Venus van Dam's (real name Vincent) evil matriarch. When Vincent was still a child, her mother, unbeknownst to him, had drugged and raped him several times and from there it grew into a child porn ring. During the events of the series, Alice kidnaps Venus's son, Joey and intends to do him the same that he did to his son several years before.After SAMCRO invades Alice's house in an attempt to rescue Joey, Alice starts throwing vicious insults towards his son, claiming that Joey is going to commit suicide later on after finding out the truth about his transsexual father. Jax is so disgusted by her foul words that he shoots her in the head in mid-sentence, killing her. Even Charlie Barosky, a corrupted cop, was disgusted by her atrocities that he would have killed her personally if he had a chance.

I'm sure many of you will have heard that Jason Richards succumbed to his battle with cancer last night. It came as an enormous shock to me as I refused to believe it was terminal and that there had to be a way to defeat it.
This is devastating news to the motorsports community after what has already been a truly awful year. Jason was one of the genuine nice guys. Always smiling, always accessible, and great with the fans. There was no sense of elitism about him and he seemed to be one of the nicest people in the paddock. You probably couldn't find a more likeable bloke in the V8 Supercar paddock, in fact. He came to my primary school once and talked about his massive crash at Queensland Raceway, and I even got his autograph!
I've seen a few tweets from people that met him personally and they can only speak fondly of him. He will be sorely missed, but always remembered as a legend. Rest in peace, Jason.
16th December 2011, 3:10 at 3:10 amParticipant
It was a huge shock when I found out as well. It is truly horrible news. You've said it all Damon
Jason was both a fantastic man and a fantastic racer. I too always refused to believe the severity of his condition, but to see the support the motosport community gave and will continue to give him and his family was great.
All of us in the motorsport community wish his family the very best and offer our full support. He will be sorely missed. RIP Jason Richards 1976-2011
16th December 2011, 4:20 at 4:20 amParticipant
I didn't want to believe it either. I certainly wasn't expecting to wake up today to the news of his death. I must say i'm quite jealous Damon, I remember that crash well, and i've always liked him. Usually I wouldn't get that excited about meeting drivers, I think it would feel a bit contrived and superficial, but he is someone I wish I had have met, and I only realise now how much I respected his positive attitude. Rest in peace JR.
16th December 2011, 6:12 at 6:12 amParticipant
Sad news indeed. I never had the opportunity to meet the bloke but seeing him on TV gave me the impression he was a really nice guy (as Im sure he was). We need more people like him in this sport.
Condolences to his family.
16th December 2011, 6:17 at 6:17 amParticipant
What a true stand-up guy. Very upsetting news for his family and the entire Australian motorsport community. I feel honoured to have been able to witness his last win in the Fujitsu Series at the Clipsal this year.
16th December 2011, 6:28 at 6:28 amParticipant
Devastating news. The world is a little bit of a darker place today.
16th December 2011, 15:36 at 3:36 pmParticipant
Absolutely gutted when I heard the news this afternoon. When he first pulled out of the last few races last year, I didn't want to believe it was anything more than a trivial matter and that he'd be back quickly. It was only when I saw his interview a few months back at Sandown that I realised how serious it was.
A quick driver and a top bloke. Condolences to his young family, and hopefully they continue to be supported by the V8 Supercars community.
17th December 2011, 0:19 at 12:19 amParticipant
I can't wait for this year to be over. 2011 is getting worse every second for me. Truly terrible news. After so many cancer cases in my family, I always get sad when hear something like this.

Background Accurate estimation of the divergence time of the extant eukaryotes is a fundamentally important but extremely difficult problem owing primarily to gross violations of the molecular clock at long evolutionary distances and the lack of appropriate calibration points close to the date of interest. These difficulties are intrinsic to the dating of ancient divergence events and are reflected in the large discrepancies between estimates obtained with different approaches. Estimates of the age of Last Eukaryotic Common Ancestor (LECA) vary approximately twofold, from ~1,100 million years ago (Mya) to ~2,300 Mya. Results We applied the genome-wide analysis of rare genomic changes associated with conserved amino acids (RGC_CAs) and used several independent techniques to obtain date estimates for the divergence of the major lineages of eukaryotes with calibration intervals for insects, land plants and vertebrates. The results suggest an early divergence of monocot and dicot plants, approximately 340 Mya, raising the possibility of plant-insect coevolution. The divergence of bilaterian animal phyla is estimated at ~400-700 Mya, a range of dates that is consistent with cladogenesis immediately preceding the Cambrian explosion. The origin of opisthokonts (the supergroup of eukaryotes that includes metazoa and fungi) is estimated at ~700-1,000 Mya, and the age of LECA at ~1,000-1,300 Mya. We separately analyzed the red algal calibration interval which is based on single fossil. This analysis produced time estimates that were systematically older compared to the other estimates. Nevertheless, the majority of the estimates for the age of the LECA using the red algal data fell within the 1,200-1,400 Mya interval. Conclusion The inference of a "young LECA" is compatible with the latest of previously estimated dates and has substantial biological implications. If these estimates are valid, the approximately 1 to 1.4 billion years of evolution of eukaryotes that is open to comparative-genomic study probably was preceded by hundreds of millions years of evolution that might have included extinct diversity inaccessible to comparative approaches.

So I have been dating this lovely lady, and I wanted to lay on something special. We been on a few traditional dates and it's going well, so I wanted to show her my more romantic side. So I had planned a couple of things. I have rented a small boat we will take up the river to a set of secluded private gardens (I managed to find an owner and asked them if I could use it for a small donation) where there will be wine, nibbles, candle light, music and some blankets as sept is getting cold.
Got me thinking, it's always good to have some ideas in the bank. So what's your most romantic date?

I'm reaching the point were I don't know if worths keep paying hosting for some of my sites.which sends some bad vibes. Sure if my income would be slashed by 90%, I'd reconsider some things, but not one of them was made because adsense or any other revenue source existed, so I'd never consider just dropping them either.
My traffic grows each year and still earnings go down.


text: Brokers want more course providers Mortgage professionals say FSCO should allow a larger number of institutions to provide broker education in Ontario to ensure that learners have a wider range of choice. "I think in general, the more education providers you have, the better," said Graeme Moss, broker, at VERICO Fair Mortgage Solutions in Hamilton, Ont. "It will be more convenient for prospective brokers located away from city centres and learners will have the benefit of choice." For instance, with multiple education providers available, students need not be compelled to take the program from a single institution even if the location or instructors in that institution does not suit the learner, said Moss. He also noted that courses for the mortgage broker re-licensing in the province is available from five providers chosen by FSCO. This and similar concerns were recently aired by some brokers even as the regulating body reviewed the recent applications for the contract to develop and deliver mortgage broker education program in the province. MortgageBrokerNews.ca tried to contact FSCO but the regulating did not return our call or emails. Over the past four years, Seneca College had been the sole provider of the education program in Ontario. That contract is up for renewal and the regulating agency in June this year, put out a call for proposals to offer the service. The successful proponent will be required will be required to develop and deliver a mortgage broker education program using qualifying standards provided by FSCO, the regulating body said it the request for proposals it posted on the government online tender site MERX.The deadline for submission of proposals expired on August 24, but FSCO has not yet announced has been awarded the contract. The program provider will recover its cost from tuition fees it charges students and will not be paid by FSCO. The term of agreement is for a period of four years with an option for FSCO to extend it to an additional year. "I don't know why FSCO want to sign up a single provider when people wanting to become brokers come from all over the province. Maybe they want to have a tighter rein on the course content and quality of instruction," Moss told MortgageBrokerNews.ca. Leave a comment SHARE

The Globe's Robert MacLeod curates the best of sports on the web Monday to Friday
The early returns from the first two weeks of regular season play in the National Football League are in and it shows that the passing game is back in vogue.
It is something that fans of the Canadian Football League have known for ages and, in the NFL, the 400-yard passing game is no longer the special achievement it once was.
Pass-happy quarterbacks Aaron Rogers, Philip Rivers and Michael Vick all threw for more than 400 yards and no interceptions on the same day for the first time in league history.
Already this year in the NFL there have been five 400-yard passing games (with no interceptions) through the first two weeks of play, one shy of the record established over the course of a full season.
In Green Bay's impressive 38-20 victory over the troubled Washington Redskins, Aaron Rogers enjoyed a record-setting day, completing 34 of 42 passes for a career-high 480 yards and four touchdowns.
And as Mike Vandermause writes in the Green Bay Press Gazette, Rogers' heroics are even more impressive when you consider he endured a pre-game chiropractic adjustment to help alleviate neck stiffness.
As for the Redskins, this is a start to a season that can only make their fans shudder, as Thomas Boswell notes in the Washington Post.
In the San Diego Chargers' 33-30 triumph over the Philadelphia Eagles, Phillip Rivers was on the mark, completing 36 of 47 passes for 419 yards.
Writing for the San Diego Union-Tribune, Kevin Acee notes that it is the first time since 2009 that Rivers has engineered a winning drive in the fourth quarter.
Vick also enjoyed a great afternoon for the Eagles, but in a losing effort, tossing for 428 yards and two touchdowns.
Frank Fitzpatrick, writing for the Philadelphia Inquirer, said that the league's new stringent rules concerning concussions may have hampered the Eagles' chances as Vick was ordered to the sidelines during a pivotal moment late in the fourth quarter after absorbing a crunching hit.
In Seattle, not only did the Seahawks pull out an impressive win over the San Francisco 49ers, they established a new world record for the loudest stadium in the process.
And it is tough to beat this for a lack of respect.
The 0-2 Jacksonville Jaguars have become so irrelevant in their own home market that the TV network is apologizing for putting them on the air.
Red Sox rough up Yankees
As tough as this might be to swallow for supporters of the Toronto Blue Jays, it appears certain that the Boston Red Sox are headed for the post-season with former Jays' manager John Farrell leading the charge.
The Red Sox defeated the New York Yankees 9-2 at Fenway to earn a three-game sweep over their arch rival.
In the process, the Red Sox lowered their magic number for a division title to four.
The loss dashed New York's hopes of finishing first for the third year in a row and for the 14th time in the last 18 seasons and the Yankees slender post-season hopes now rest on securing a wildcard berth.
The game also likely marked the final appearance at Fenway for Mariano Rivera, New York's fine reliever who is retiring at the end of the season.
As the Yankees were taking their final swings, Rivera took the opportunity to scribble a farewell note on the bullpen wall.
In Pittsburgh, newly-acquired Justin Morneau came off the bench to drive in his first run with his new team, a single in the eighth inning that lifted the Pirates to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs.
With the win the Pirates remain tied atop the National League Central with the St. Louis Cardinals.
Step aside Sadaharu Oh, Tuffy Rhodes and Alex Cabrera. Japanese baseball has a new home run hitting king.
Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com writes how Wladimir Balentien, a journeyman Major League Baseball player, had to travel 5,000 miles in order to put his stamp on the game playing for Tokyo's Yakult Swallows.
Same old, same old in the NHL
It didn't take long for the ugliness to begin in the National Hockey League.
Rostislav Klesla, a defenceman with the Phoenix Coyotes, was the recipient of a dubious open-ice hit from Jordan Nolan of the Los Angeles Kings in the first period of their exhibition game.
Various reports indicate that Nolan made first contact with Klesla's head and the Phoenix player was immobilized on the ice and then taken off on a stretcher to hospital for further observations.
A good sign was that Klesla raised his hand in a wave to the crowd as he was being taken off.Report Typo/Error

We'd had a drink outside the bar next door the day before and the food coming out of Gespot looked great so we went there the next night for a meal.
We ordered some appetizers, a couple of the specials and they were quite helpful in offering a non menu item of a chicken dish four son which wasn't on the menu. We were asked if we wanted our appetisers ahead of the mains, which we did.
There was a bit of a wait and I was advised my choice of pork loin was no Ionger available. I chose something else but this was also not available so I ordered a steak. The food came out all at once and my wife's meal was not the salmon she ordered and the owner was also unable to say what it was either.After taking it back to the kitchen he was able to say it was a chicken caesar salad and that the salmon was finished. Too hungry to wait any longer we said we'd have it. My son's chicken never materialised but they did do him some bitterbollen - a dutch type of deep fried meatball - with very nice chips which they didn't charge fo and which he really enjoyed. All our food was pretty good, but the service whilst friendly, was not so good, with a number of mistakes.
I was also a bit irritated to learn later that my wife was charged for the more expensive dish she didn't order rather the one she did.
All in all a really nice place in a great location, food was quite good on the day but the service was chaotic with lots of mistakes..which was a shame.

Rian Johnson writing and directing Star Wars: Ep. VIII
3:00 PM on 06.20.2014 // Matthew Razak@MatthewRazak
Some big news coming out of the Star Wars camp today as it has been announced that Looper director Rian Johnson will be writing and directing Star Wars: Episode VIII and writing Episode IX. Most likely Abrams will return to direct Episode IX and this will give him the gap and time to do it.
Unless you wanted Abrams to direct all the films this is nothing but good news. Johnson is an incredible director and an even better story teller. Having him pen the screenplays is possibly the best news this franchise has had since the 80s. I can't see a situation where he doesn't knock it out of the park. Directing is a good call too. Though this will be his first truly effects heavy film his work on Looper showed us he can handle sci-fi with the best of them.

At the end of last year I was able to write up a little piece of research I had been doing into the mysterious case of Richard Marsh, author of the Victorian cult classic, The Beetle. The piece stirred some interest and I was delighted to hear from Robert Kirkpatrick, a researcher whose primary interest was in Marsh in his original incarnation as an author of ripping yarns for boys. Robert took my little piece of research and managed to uncover significant extra pieces of information. A short summary piece of his work has now appeared in the April edition of The Bookdealer (above) with a kind acknowledgment and mention of this blog.

NEW YORK (AP) Ś Busy cancer patient Valerie Harper leads a class of 12 amateur hoofers in the upcoming 17th season of ôDancing With the Stars.ö
The cast was revealed Wednesday on ABCĺs ôGood Morning America.ö For a show that has reached an increasingly older audience, ABC added an injection of youth with reality stars Nicole ôSnookiö Polizzi of ôJersey Shoreö and Ozzyĺs kid Jack Osbourne.
Harper has defied odds with her survival since being diagnosed earlier this year with brain cancer. She recently filmed a movie role and joined a Nick at Nite reunion of ôThe Mary Tyler Mooreö cast.
A brain scan last month showed improvement for the 74-year-old former sitcom star, whose doctors say her cancer is getting close to remission. She will have her next scan in October.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Harper said that so far, sheĺs not taking any precautions when sheĺs rehearsing.
ôHe (pro partner Tristan MacManus) says, `Do you want to get water?ĺ Which is great because I donĺt drink enough water but (thatĺs) not to do with the cancer ... (itĺs) not an impediment to dancing and I just try to stay healthy and continue to lose weight so I look halfway decent in the costumes,ö she said with a laugh.
Harper said of her decision to join the show: ôThereĺs a (Lee Ann Womack) country song (with the lyrics) `when you get the choice you sit it out or dance/ I hope you dance.öĺ
Other contestants on the new season of ôDancing,ö which premieres Sept. 16, are Bill Nye, the ôScience Guyö; ôPretty Little Liarsö actor Brant Daugherty; former NFL wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson; singer-actress Christina Milian; actress Elizabeth Berkley; ôHigh School Musicalö actor Corbin Bleu; ôGleeö actress Amber Riley; country comic Bill Engvall; and ôKing of Queensö actress Leah Remini.
The celebrities and their pro partners, minus Remini and dancer Tony Dovolani, all made the trek to New York to promote the showĺs return.
Although still a ratings winner for ABC in its 16th season, the celebrity dancing contest has seen its overall audience decline and grow older, an issue for networks that get higher commercial ad rates for younger viewers.
ôDancingö will now air once a week on Mondays rather than Mondays and Tuesdays.
ôOne day a week is fine with me! I need more time to rehearse,ö said Milian.
ôYou get all the action in one night. Itĺs all killer, no filler,ö said her partner, Mark Ballas.
And with younger contestants like Bleu, Daugherty and Riley, the show might skew to a more youthful demo.
There are changes behind the scenes, too. There are new professional dancers, plucked from the showĺs troupe. Contestants are starting off with a four-hour rehearsal limit per day that will hopefully cut down on injuries and fatigue.
The pros were mixed on whether they liked the time constraint and said it could change as the season goes on and they have to do more than one dance per show.
ôNow that we have a restricted time, I feel like weĺre gonna get more done,ö said Derek Hough.
ôThat I donĺt like,ö said Karina Smirnoff. ôFour hours is tough.ö
ôEvery single time that last hour (of rehearsal) ends up coming up with both of us going, `Oh no. Itĺs not there yet,öĺ said her partner Bleu.
Smirnoff said she believes as the season progresses, the rehearsals might get longer.
The one thing the audience likely wonĺt see is twerking, a dance thatĺs been in the spotlight thanks to Miley Cyrusĺ performance at the MTV Video Music Awards.
ôI donĺt think thatĺs relevant to anything that has to do with class,ö said dancer Val Chmerkovskiy. ôI keep it classy. I want my partners to keep it classy. Twerking is not on the menu.ö

I have been seeing this guy for about a month now and I really enjoy spending time with him. I was with someone for ten years previously and he really effected my confidence in that I in the end didn't feel good enough for him in terms of what he wanted me to be. I am with this new guy and have voiced my concerns with a friend as i didn't know where i stood with him. However despite me asking her not to give him a talking too about his intentions with me when out she did it anyway after i told her not too. She is always up for meeting him later on in the evening which i find strange as im quite happy to just see him when we go on a date. He seems to take an interest in her love life and asks about her dates. Is that just friendly chit chat and taking an interest? then the other night when we met him i felt he was talking to her more than me. My ex called me randomly that morning but i told him i couldnt speak and was now seeing someone else. Anyway to cut a long story short it started to annoy me and i told him i felt he was giving me the cold shoulder? Then my friend interferred and it caused more drama. To be honest i dont know if she is doing it to protect me or just getting in the way as she like him? Any thoughts? Or is it me just being cynical?
Does my best mate fancy my boyfriend or am I just being too touchy?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
well talking to her more than you, might be in your mind or maybe not. but telling her not to talk to him about the things you are concerned and she did anyways? that seems a bit suspicious, am i right? i dont have much experience on this but as far as i know someone who's jealous of you will try to ruin your relationship. and that's one way to do it... telling your boyfriend something you dont want him to learn yet. and also causing a drama scene? is she really your best friend?00|00|0
Um its such a tricky situation. She asked what his intentions with me were in front of me the first time and i laughed it off and asked her to pipe down. I let it go as i just thought she was being protective but the second time annoyed me as its pressuring him. We had been drinking previously before meeting him out so them chatting more might just be me before the drama kicked off. Everything is fine now but im just wary now and part of me thinks she is trying to stop the relationship in its tracks, but then i also think he fancies her as he is always so vocal about her dates and seems to get uptight. She asked his opinion on a personal trainer she was flirting with at the gym and he said be careful with personal trainers they prob flirt with lots of girls. Plus she mentioned this guy who wouldn't stop texting her and he offered to call him and tell him to stop it. I thought that was odd? Too much involvement? Thanks for your reply.
- Show AllShow Less
I was with her originally and we met him later on in the pub. From now on I won't be doing that.
He was already out with a friend.

It seems like everyone I know has a cold, including me. I hate the runny stuffy nose, the headache behind your eyes that won't go away, the constant sniffling and most of all, the exhaustion. I feel as if I could sleep for a million years right now.
At the first sign of sickness, I do my best to try and lessen the symptoms, which includes lots of lemon and raw honey. It seems to help a bit or at least shaves a few days off of being sick. Until recently though, it didn't occur to me to make a smoothie. I've been missing out big time!
This Cold Buster Green Smoothie is high in zinc, vitamin C, amino acids, minerals, and lauric acid, which boost immunity. Plus, it's creamy, has a warming effect from the ginger and taste freaking amazing. I recommend you use raw honey and coconut butter because the less pasteurization the better.
For the citrus, you can use grapefruit, oranges, what have you. This is your own journey to wellness so taste and adjust to your liking. Some days, I'm feeling less honey and or more ginger – however you choose this Cold Buster Green Smoothie will go down easy. Enjoy!
If you decide to take a chance on this Cold Buster Green Smoothie don't forget to #youngbrokehungry on Instagram so I can see it. High five!
- 1 small banana, peeled and diced
- 1 handful fresh spinach
- ½ tangerine, peeled and segmented
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger, fresh
- 1 tablespoon raw coconut butter
- ½ tablespoon raw honey
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- Place all ingredients into a blender and on high, blend until creamy.

The Outer Colonies were planets controlled by the Terran Confederacy. Despite a similar naming, they were a separate group of planets from the Fringe Worlds,[1] but overlapped astrogeographically. For instance, Mar Sara was both a Fringe World and Outer Colony.[2]
By 2478, revolts were common among the Outer Colonies and were steadily growing in number.[1] By 2499, there is evidence that the Confederacy sought to discourage settlement of the Outer Colonies.[2]
The Outer Colonies continued to be controlled by the Terran Dominion well into the reign of Emperor Valerian Mengsk. They were represented by Senator Joss Brogan, who was arrested after hiding his criminal record.[3]

Binary Domain Xbox 360
- Release Date: Feb 28, 2012
- Also On: PC, PlayStation 3
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Feb 21, 2012It convincingly apes the mechanics and behaviours of the best shooters on the market, but its augmentations feel noticeably forced and artificial.
Mar 5, 2012The intriguing world of Binary Domain rises above its conventional appearance, thanks to the satisfaction of shooting robots to pieces.
Feb 29, 2012I enjoyed my time with the game, and I can see it grabbing a rabid cult audience. I'd recommend it to anyone who can relax their expectations a bit, particularly when it comes to the voice recognition. The more you're able to focus on where it succeeds and look past its obvious failings, the better.
Mar 1, 2012It's definitely a mediocre game. It plays it safe in every way possible. It's only feature of note is its voice recognition system, but everything else feels like it came straight out of a How to Make a Cover-Based Shooter for Dummies book or something. It's not bad; it's just generic. It's a "me too" game that tries to sell you on ideas that could be awesome but aren't fleshed out all that well.
Mar 7, 2012Binary Domain is a nice surprise. Shooting mechanics are really well-devised, with an astounding mecha design and boss fight. Unfortunately the light rpg squad aspect of the game doesn't work properly.
Feb 24, 2012A game a few degrees short of greatness, an intense and hectic romp that needs that final level of polish to compete with the very best.
Mar 2, 2012A Japanese action game that takes elements from Western games to achieve a very interesting blend that action gamers will appreaciate. It is not the best action game out there, but it is different and deserves an opportunity.
Games Master UKApr 3, 2012A fun, Japanese Studio's take on Mass Effect, but gameplay feels limp due to few fresh ideas. [May 2012, p.76]
Feb 24, 2012This aimed for Vanquish and missed – but in doing so it at least made a decent Terminator game that's better than any actual licensed Terminator game.
Feb 27, 2012Binary Domain may not be a trailblazer, but it's a damn good follower. Perhaps the best attempt at "Western" shooter gameplay from a Japanese studio, this robot-carving romp keeps up an exhilarating level of fast-paced combat from beginning to end.
Feb 28, 2012Binary Domain is a solid shooter. Looks nice, features an action packed campaign and offers an interesting history.
Mar 10, 2012Binary Domain introduce new and interesting features to third person shooter world, although voice commands and team management would have deserved more attention under development. Fortunately Binary Domain has some really good game mechanics and a very exciting story.
games(TM)Mar 24, 2012It's ironic that a game about robots wanting to be human has so much heart, but is failed by technology that simply won't reach as far as its developer would like. [Issue#120, p.112]
Feb 28, 2012When the curtain drops on Binary Domain, you're left with the sense that, while accomplished, this game is largely a rote exercise in genre. It adequately, but not outstandingly, mimics the nuts and bolts of the western cover shooter, while bringing little new of worth to the table.
Mar 7, 2012Binary Domain is Japan's answer to Gears of War, with exciting, energetic third-person shooting. The multiplayer is lackluster, and the optionally voiced squad tactics are largely inconsequential, but the campaign's sharp shooting and smart story make for a vision splendid romp through Japan's future.
Mar 5, 2012Maybe this won't be remembered as the best TPS of all time, but it's a pretty damn entertaining, intense and solid Japanese Gears clone.
Feb 22, 2012These clashes between East and West cause more than enough sparks to make Binary Domain one of the most interesting culture shocks in a long time. It's redolent of the late Dreamcast/early PS2 era, when games were edgier and more interesting, before they were focus-tested into oblivion.
Mar 23, 2012Binary Domain is a decent third person cover shooter with great set piece fights and a few fun boss battles trapped inside a gimmicky command structure and a story that disintegrates near the end and turns what should have been a surprisingly good shooter into one that is tough to fully recommend.
Feb 25, 2012Though sometimes repetitive, combat is tense, frantic, and structured in such a way that a big new boss or new challenge is always around the corner.
Pelit (Finland)Apr 17, 2012A Japanese adaptation of the Gears of War franchise with voice commands. Besides the mechanical novelty, which would have been better executed with buttons, the game is just another regular shooter with some interesting boss fights. [Apr 2012]
May 19, 2012Binary Domain wants to be more than a generic shooter, but unfortunately drops the ball with the unique gameplay elements. What remains is an entertaining, reasonably interesting and good looking shooter that could've scored better with an extra layer of technical polish.
Apr 5, 2012A jolt of energy that the shooter genre has needed for some time now. The varied and beautiful environments are a slap in the face to brown, repetitive corridors, and the control of both shooting and moving gives stop-and-pop a run for its money.
Mar 2, 2012Binary Domain ultimately feels as if it's pandering to schizophrenic expectations. It aims for the stars, incorporating a jack of all trades mentality, but in a market crowded with third-person shooters, this lacks the quality to stand out. In the end, it's more I, Robot than Blade Runner - an enjoyable romp, but far from a classic.
CD-ActionMar 13, 2012Binary Domain is a good alternative for those who are looking for a new, original shooter other than Gears of War or Call of Duty. It's a pity that the satisfying, high quality gameplay was not backed by a better plot. The game's story has a good starting point but does not live up to its full potential. [April 2012, p.72]
Mar 13, 2012This is an amazing shooter with a great and enthralling story and good graphics. Though the voice controls are problematic at times, they are fun and a refreshing alternative to the average TPS. The only big issue is the mediocre multiplayer. The great mixture of the post-apocalyptic Tokio and the futuristic city above combined with the synthetic enemies guarantee an absorbing atmosphere. Great game!
Feb 24, 2012This is very much a single-player pick, and the game Terminator wishes it could be.
Mar 8, 2012The gameplay is sound at its core, but suspect AI, plodding boss fights, and a heavy-handed plot all stand out as flaws that should have been eliminated before mass production. As is, this interesting prototype could be worth examining--just don't expect it to attain peak performance.
Mar 7, 2012Right now, Binary Domain is an accomplished and enjoyable shooter that proves excellent combat can make up for shortcomings in other areas.
Mar 2, 2012Like other recent SEGA titles, such as Vanquish, Binary Domain isn't one that instantly jumps out, it is however one that will grow on you over time and one that becomes very hard to leave alone until finished. It has some faults granted, but the overall package outweighs any negatives easily.
X-ONE Magazine UKApr 2, 2012While its ambitious ideas fall by the wayside, the core act of shooting robots is done better than we dared to hope. [Issue#83, p.87]
Mar 12, 2012There is a very enjoyable action game here, wrapped in a well plotted storyline populated with likeable characters and powered by a simple-yet-genius system to make you actually care about who you fight alongside, managing what other shooters struggle to accomplish after entire trilogies.
Mar 5, 2012Some of its ideas work and others don't, but Binary Domain can really offer some solid third-person shooting hours.
Apr 3, 2012Initially, Binary Domain doesn't look like much. But it grows with the experience, delivering a great story and top notch action.
Mar 4, 2012A very good shooter, with enjoyable gameplay, well defined characters and a thought-provoking story. The problematic voice controls and a shoddy multiplayer are our only complaints.
Mar 14, 2012Binary Domain has a respectable mechanical foundation and a feel that allows it to mingle with the mammoths of third-person shooting. However, it does not manage to surpass any of them. The campaign offers a engaging ride through Neo-Tokyo, but the multiplayer is so uninteresting that the product as a whole would not suffer if it was removed.
Feb 29, 2012Binary Domain is like a Frankenstein of ideas and concepts that work well, but it ends up not being better than many other games.
May 6, 2012It's a fun, frivolous sci-fi narrative with just enough strength of writing to provide some memorable moments of dialogue; satisfying combat and set-pieces; and a competent grasp of pacing. After some bad experiences with the genre, Binary Domain has convinced me that there's still some value in cover shooters.
Mar 1, 2012Players should not come in expecting a balanced single player and multiplayer like the competition may offer, but instead be pleased by the solid campaign that is different from any other shooter.
Mar 3, 2012Binary Domain is definitely a very solid third-person shooter, and while it falls short in some areas, there's enough variety in the meat of the game to make it worth a playthrough.
Apr 2, 2012Overall, Binary Domain is worth picking up if you've exhausted yourself on Gears of War 3 and found Mass Effect 3 was too much of an RPG for your liking. It's almost like Gears of War was torn down, and remade by Capcom. It goes from being made by fist-bumping American frat boys to whacky Japanese anime fans.
Mar 9, 2012If you enjoy action games with quirk and charm, I can't recommend Binary Domain enough. It has all the hallmarks of an unpolished gem - except it's actually polished.
Feb 28, 2012Unimpressive visuals and bland characters hamper an otherwise thrilling and surprisingly thoughtful shooter. It's a shame that the whole teamwork system lacks subtleties.
Mar 7, 2012There's some deeper thought going on behind Binary Domain's cold, robot eyes and its themes and story take its action far beyond a generic shooter.

It is refreshing to see heart and soul in a video game again, pure Japanese glory. In short, blowing robots is fun and rewarding, shards and explosions abound. The game has a wonderful pace that keeps you in the action and enthrals with good story-telling.
