Defence the best form of attack
The magnificent sevens are a custom at Old Trafford. There was George Best, then Bryan Robson, followed by Eric Cantona. More recently, glossing over Michael Owen, Cristiano Ronaldo succeeded David Beckham. This, however, was Sir Alex Ferguson's twist on a tradition: the miserly seven. By fielding seven(!) defenders, the Manchester United manager named one of his stranger sides. It was one way to keep a clean sheet, though that owed more to Edwin van der Sar's brilliance, and the surfeit of supposed stoppers was more a product of necessity than negativity.
Yet somewhere Ferguson's old friend and Arsene Wenger's antithesis George Graham was surely looking on in envy. He rarely managed to cram more than five defenders into a team, though he did combine it with an unnatural fondness for a defensive midfielder or three. And when the post-mortem commences on Arsenal's exit from another competition - three in a fortnight - the composition of the United midfield should be a prime factor.
Besides the back four, three-quarters of the men employed in the middle were, by trade, defenders. John O'Shea revisited his past as the anchor man, Fabio and Rafael da Silva evolved from attacking full-backs to roving wingers. Their accomplice was Darron Gibson, while Wayne Rooney dropped deeper to offer industrious assistance. It was not so much United's second-string midfield as the third choice, in other words. A glimpse at the teamsheet alone should have encouraged Arsenal.
Yet the FA Cup semi-finals will include United, not the side with a rather more pressing need for trophies. It is an enviable ability to turn a supposed weakness into a strength, and one that United have displayed regularly. In this instance, the da Silvas' ability to emerge untracked in and around the Arsenal area had a decisiveness; Fabio scored the opening goal, Rafael made the second, with both moves started by Van der Sar. Defence truly was the best form of attack.
For the opener, Rooney's angled cross was met by Javier Hernandez, plunging forwards to connect with a diving header. Manuel Almunia saved well but Fabio tucked in the rebound. The irrepressible strike duo, lending a dynamism the benched Dimitar Berbatov fails to supply, were both involved in the second and, indeed, in much of what United did. Rafael skipped past Kieran Gibbs with unfortunate ease, before centring. As Johan Djourou challenged Hernandez, the ball looped up. Rooney met it with a deft header to defeat Manuel Almunia.
It was an occasion when both goalkeepers excelled. Almunia is enjoying a rehabilitative week and saved a series of efforts from Hernandez, whose verve enabled United to counter-attack at pace. At the other end, Van der Sar's one-man resistance appeared an eloquent rebuttal of Wenger's fondness for youth. Robin van Persie's low shot, Laurent Koscielny's smart effort on the rebound, Marouane Chamakh's header, Tomas Rosicky's drive: all met with the same outcome. "Four or five fantastic saves," added Ferguson. "I wish he was 21 instead of coming up for 41 but nature catches you eventually in life." Wenger lamented the enduring ability of the Dutchman to fly across his goal. "The goalkeeper against us is man of the match week in, week out," he said, presumably with Birmingham's Ben Foster, rather than Barcelona's Victor Valdes, in mind. "We were not outplayed but lost to a team who were more clinical. We lost three big challenges in a strange way. Subconsciously the disappointment of Tuesday night has played a part, confidence wise."
That may have been the difference. Back-to-back league defeats did not seem to sap United's morale. Absentees were a test of resourcefulness, but offered an injection of eagerness. "The two da Silvas are such enthusiastic boys," Ferguson added. "I had to come up with a plan where I could utilise their energy. Considering we have made major changes, we can be well pleased with the result. I couldn't risk [Paul] Scholes and [Ryan] Giggs because of Tuesday's game against Marseille."
When Scholes did emerge, his 10-minute cameo could have culminated in a red card. Faced between the fury of Ferguson and the wrath of Wenger, two managers who have been angered by officials of late, Chris Foy opted for the latter and gave the veteran a reprieve. "I feel the pitch was good, the referee was good and the tackles of Paul Scholes were bad," argued the Frenchman.
But Arsenal's fate was determined before Scholes entered the fray. The quest for the quadruple had become the solitary pursuit of the Premier League. Fail in that, and they will end a season without silverware. Again.
MAN OF THE MATCH: Edwin van der Sar - Terrific once again. Of all his saves, the most important came from Koscielny, as it came at the start of a manic minute that ended with Rooney doubling their lead.
MANCHESTER UNITED VERDICT: One of Rooney's most complete performances of the season and confirmation of Hernandez's capacity to get in dangerous positions were reasons to be optimistic. Others came on the flanks, with Antonio Valencia arriving in the second half for his first appearance since breaking his ankle in September. Another conclusion, from both the team selection and the game, is the da Silva brothers are far better wingers than Bebe and Gabriel Obertan. Ferguson claimed that only Jonny Evans of his injured legion could be fit for Marseille.
ARSENAL VERDICT: Another damaging afternoon was made worse when Johan Djourou dislocated a shoulder. He will be out for the remainder of the season, leaving Arsenal looking short-staffed in a defence that has long been criticised. Of all their sidelined players, however, the ones who may have been missed most on this occasion were Cesc Fabregas and Alex Song, either of whom might have dominated a midfield populated by stand-ins.

Part two – Sebastian and Jim dive into side support concepts and wrangle with how energy and focus are affected by edits.
Jim's Definition of Side Support
Side support is an action made by someone who is not currently a part of the scene. This action has the goal of heightening the scene, clarifying the scene, or both.
Improv octopus blog by Alex Berg
A Few Examples of Side Support:
– Offstage Noises
– External voices
– Scene Painting
– Walk on Characters
– Physicalizing environment
– Thoughts in someone's head
– Anthropomorphizing an animal
– Moving through time
– Sometimes the best thing you can do for a scene is edit
– Sometimes the best thing you can do for a scene is side support
– Sometimes the best thing you can do for a scene is to leave it alone
Ill-conceived side support:
– Distracting object work or environment
– Anything that removes nuance
– Anything that removes emotion
– Anything that nullifies the tension
– Countdown clocks that are too long
– Countdown clocks that are too short
Editing vs Coming into scene:
– Edits = Over the energy
– SS = Under the energy
Sensitivity settings
– Team's sensitivity is set before the show
– lack sensitivity and you miss edits
– too sensitive and side support is not possible
– To Heighten
– To Clarify
– Both
– Lack of ego
– Sense of Responsibility
– Nuance

If you've read this blog for any length of time at all, you'll know that I love goals. I try to set them every month, though I've slacked off this past summer.
I've been reminded how much I need goals in order to get anything accomplished, especially something as big as writing a novel. Without specific goals, I flounder, piddle around, and waste way too much time.
You might notice that in the right sidebar I've placed a new word counter. It's for my new project, tentatively titled The Major's Minors, an historical romance set at Fort Larned, Kansas in 1868. I'm hoping to see that red bar fill up steadily over the next few months.
You see, I have a goal. I want to send my agent a completed manuscript by April 1st. When we spoke in Dallas last week, she asked what she could do for me, and I told her I needed a deadline, a goal, something to keep my fingers typing and my mind engaged in a story. And voila! I now have one.
I'm about halfway through the plotting of this story, and I'm layering in conflict and subplots and spiritual threads, romance, action, and lots more. Loving Major Elliot Ryder, his two wards and Priscilla Wellington, who complicates and simplifies things all at the same time.
Here are my goals for October:
1. Finish plotting The Major's Minors by October 15th.
2. Begin writing The Major's Minors and get 10,000 words by the end of the month.
3. Put together a blog tour for A Bride Sews With Love in Needles, CA which releases 11/1.
4. Write all the blog posts for the Romancing America Blog where Sagebrush Knights will be the feature book for all of December!
What about you? Do you have any goals for October? Are you a goal-oriented person?

It appears weve lost another cherished gay tradition to the straight mainstream. Like plucked eyebrows on men, Abercrombie & Fitch, and anal sex, our hetero pals have decided to co-opt another valuable piece of our homo heritage: snark. And straight teen boys, who never really got the hang of tweezers, arent handling snark very well either.
Im not saying gay men invented snark, but our long proud history of bitchery, insults, and backhanded compliments is indisputable. In fact, one of the earliest recorded queens, Aristotle, noted, A subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious. And no one comes close to our gay literary forefathers in the mastery of snide commentary. Posthumously outed T.S. Eliot said of one of his fellow fag writers, Henry James has a mind so fine no idea could violate it. Gore Vidal called Truman Capotes death a good career move. And snarkmaster Oscar Wilde once described an acquaintance by asserting, He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.
On television, gay men like Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Reilly satisfied game show audiences everywhere with their teasing put-downs. Will & Graces Jack McFarland and Will Truman sparred playfully whenever they were in the same room. And the Internet gave rise to even more homo-snark dominance. Love him or hate him, Perez Hiltons fame was built on his (hopefully sturdily reinforced) smart-alecky foundation. His cutting approach has since been adopted by nearly every other celebrity gossip site. Arguably the greatest purveyor of snark on the Web is Gawker.com, which was founded by perhaps the bitterest (and I mean that as a compliment) of all homos, Nick Denton.
But somewhere along the way, we gays lost the reins. Ever since some geek first coded the HTML for a comment box, snark has been growing in mass-market popularity to become one of Western cultures chief forms of public discourse. The democratization of bitchery has watered it down to the point where its barely recognizable as anything but garden-variety mean-spiritedness. Reading through the sad attempts at witty repartee on conservative political websites like FreeRepublic.com is disheartening. And as for TV, the pitiful stabs at banter between Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest (above) are the only reason I occasionally believe Seacrest is heterosexual.
It seems that the vast majority of anonymous commenters on forums and blogs have somehow confused cutting wit with cutting down. Earlier this year an advertising executive committed suicide several days after an anonymous industry blogger posted a snarky blog entry about him, followed by the obligatory anonymous Greek chorus hurling additional insulting comments. When fingers started pointing at the unidentified blogger, he/she responded with a post saying, in part, I do not give myself enough credit to think that a blog posting can cause a lucid, intelligent man to jump from a building. To which Ill snarkily respond, Cmon. If you wont pat yourself on the back, who will?
Perhaps straight people need to be educated on the history of snark. We gays have been using the snide remark as a form of endearment for centuries. My dearest friend Bill hasnt said a nice word about me in years, and I admire him for it (given how hard it is for him to say any words without slurring). My friend Pat insults me via e-mail almost daily. It would be nightly as well if his favorite local park restrooms had wireless.
Maybe thats the difference between the Vidals, Capotes, and Crisps of the world and the armies of anonymous blog commenters. An anonymous snark is like an anonymous fuck. Marginally satisfying, a little pathetic, and forgotten within minutes. Truly memorable rivalries exist not to vanquish the other side but to embolden the recipient to volley back. However, its impossible to retaliate against a faceless (and probably hairless, chinless, and waistline-less) attacker. As Oscar Wilde explained (snarkily, of course), A true friend stabs you in the front.

Congresswoman claims a Filner groping (years ago)
Former San Diego mayor allegedly went in for a kiss
Don Bauder 5:30 p.m., Nov. 20
(Page 3 of 3)
His name was Steve, and he worked at the Monster Manor and also does singing telegrams. (I think his business is in Temecula.) I asked if his business was hurt by computers. I read stories that, with so many people e-mailing, the post office has lost a lot of business with first-class letters. I imagine that would probably hurt his business as well.
He said it had, but he still gets enough jobs. I said, "Most people get embarrassed if the waiters sing 'Happy Birthday' to you at Friday's. Don't people get embarrassed when you come to their door to sing?" He said, "Sometimes. I've had some people shut the door on me. Oftentimes, people hire me to sing at their work or a restaurant. And if the person runs away, I'll just continue to sing for the crowd."
One woman had giant breasts made for her shirt. I heard one guy say to his wife, "You can't get mad at me for looking at that. It's just a costume." When a guy dressed up as a priest walked by her, he said to all of us, "You guys better all come in for confession tomorrow. I see what you're staring at."
I looked at all the tables in the back yard. One bowl had various plastic body parts. Next to it was a machine that said "Lorena Bobbitt Wringer Washing Machine." It had a body part next to it. One guy grabbed it and said, "This is what happened when we got married, dear."
One of the eyeballs on the table looked real. When I touched it, the stickiness of it grossed me out, but not enough to keep me from touching it again.
I asked how they would clean up all the fake blood. Mary said, "We use general all-purpose cleaners. We have 409 and Windex. We don't do it all the next day. We take our time cleaning."
When I was standing by one of the two fire pits, I was looking out toward the canyon. I remembered how, at a wedding party I went to in Julian, they told me the canyons made the noise worse for the neighbors on the other side. When I asked about this, Chas told me, "The cops showed up at 10:00 p.m. I thought that was kind of early for them to tell us we were too loud. It's the Saturday night before Halloween. I think our neighbor may have called; I'm not sure."

between good and pierce: on dungeons & dragons, and why deliberative democracy can't work
Deliberative democracy has long been characteristic of governing institutions, if not in purpose, then certainly in composition. Deliberative decision-making, as Amy Gutmann and Dennis Thompson describe it, represents an essential act of governance, particularly during a period of diffuse information and increasingly transparent institutions. Gutmann and Thompson cite the opacity of the Iraq war debate as a keystone for their practical concern for deliberative democracy. Reasoned and publicly justified decision-making, however, occurs at almost all levels of the U.S. government structure: consider Leslie Knope's town-hall shouting matches or President Bartlett's thorough evisceration of Governor Ritchie's fiscal conservatism. Of course, those two are fictional, but I hope you'll concede the point: to paraphrase Hugh Grant, public deliberation actually is all around.
Deliberative democracy extends from Jurgen Habermas' high-falutin' notions of discourse in civil society, with a particular concern for the civic dividends of a robust, open "public sphere." Gutmann and Thompson, however, take the German philosopher's public sphere a step further: where Habermas' theory remains at a discursive "meta-level," the democracy theorists insert reasoned deliberation into democratic decision-making–that is, discourse serves a political function, in addition to a Habermasian social role. Gutmann and Thompson outline four criteria for an effective deliberative democracy. Public discourse must be "reason-based," wherein the public discussion relies on logical, easily interpretable argument. Reason-based discourse necessitates the accessibility of public information, as well. Gutmann and Thompson describe this deliberative discourse as "binding," inferring the particular influence of democratic discourse on public policy decisions. Lest public officials view deliberative processes as unchanging, the discourse must also fulfill a "dynamism" threshold, whereby policy decisions interact with developing norms and discursive trends–President Obama's recent "evolution" on the issue of same-sex marriage is an instructive case.
It's easy to see how deliberative politics might emerge as a technology of governance, and how political decision-makers might engage with a dynamic population of public ideas. Gutmann and Thompson, however, propose deliberative democracy as a form of governance itself–rather than a tool of governance, or a standard operating procedure, deliberation is a descriptive element of a democratic institution. We needn't look further than primetime comedy to demonstrate why this won't work. Dan Harmon's Community is a relevant, if idiosyncratic demonstration of the political pitfalls of deliberative institutions. In one episode, Community's motley crew of adult study buddies sits down for a game of Dungeons and Dragons, in order to raise the obese Neil's spirits. Dungeons and Dragons (D&D), as a Forbidden Planet saleswoman once explained to me, is a highly social game ("Everyone thinks D&D fans don't have friends. But that's not possible–it's a multiplayer!"). The study group's D&D decision-making mirrors Gutmann and Thompson's deliberative model: from a capabilities perspective, each character stands on equal footing, and the game's progress relies on the continued, public participation of its individual components. Abed ("The Undiagnosable"), in his capacity as the game master, lays out the game's progress in a transparent manner, ensuring that all characters can access the same information about collective processes, institutional decisions, and resource distribution.
The system starts to breakdown when Pierce ("The Dickish") enters the game. Concerned that the group excluded him from the D&D game, Pierce decides to exact vengeance against Neil's alter-ego, Duquesne. The study group exiles Pierce to the supply closet, where he uses a collection of supplementary D&D rule books to endow himself with new powers. Pierce returns to the study group room, using his new powers to "control" Draconus, a dastardly dragon with time-stopping powers. A maniacal Pierce "transforms" Neil from Duquesne into his prior, obese self. If not for the group's rejection of Pierce's vengeance, the non-Pierce members of the Community study group would have lost the game.
Community's D&D game may be goofy–and a simplistic reflection of the challenges of in-group/out-group dynamics in collective decision-making–but it demonstrates an important gap in deliberative democracy. Organization is driver of decision-making processes, and with social organization comes social hierarchy. Even the simplest societies contain a degree of intra-communal specialization, which determines access to key resources and, more importantly, information. Public information is asymmetric–groups have unequal access to information resources, due to their particular participation in or exclusion from policy institutions. In the study group's D&D game, Pierce's additional rules enhanced his abilities, and limited the influence of the study group's deliberative process. Community's D&D activities demonstrate the questionable impact of the "information age": there's more information out there, but it's difficult to say whether that has led to the democratization of policy-relevant information. This information asymmetry, which has emerged because of intentional and unintentional characteristics of technocratic governance, dooms deliberative democracy to little more than a dispensable governance technology.

Project Time Management Software
Empower Teams with Enterprise-Grade Project Time Management Tools
One of the biggest problems that enterprise PMOs face is that they don't receive timely, complete effort data from project team members. Without this information, the PMO can't submit invoices to internal departments or external customers, nor can they determine whether various projects in the portfolio are on-track to achieve expected ROI. Fortunately, Clarizen puts an end to this difficult, risky and costly problem.
Accessible via the cloud, Clarizen makes it fast and easy for project teams to submit their time information manually, or they can use the Clarizen stopwatch to automate the process and make it even easier. Project managers and PMO staff can then accurately and efficiently:
- Submit complete, timely invoices based on actual effort data vs. "guestimatesâ€
- Track all project progress at every stage of the lifecycle

Located in the southeast part of the Balkans, Bulgaria has a diverse topography. The north of the country is dominated by the vast lowlands of the Danube Plain with the river Danube defining the border with neighbouring Romania. The south of the country, by contrast, is dominated by highlands and elevated plains while, in the east, the Black Sea coast attracts tourists all year round.
The most important sectors of Bulgaria's economy in 2015 were industry (23.0 %), wholesale and retail trade, transport, accommodation and food services (21.0 %) and public administration, defence, education, human health and social work activities (14.5 %).
Bulgaria's main export partners are Germany, Italy and Turkey, while its main import partners are Germany, Russia and Italy.

European Parliament office in Bulgaria
In the Council of the EU, national ministers meet regularly to adopt EU laws and coordinate policies. Council meetings are regularly attended by representatives from the Bulgarian government, depending on the policy area being addressed.
The Council of the EU doesn't have a permanent, single-person president (like e.g. the Commission or Parliament). Instead, its work is led by the country holding the Council presidency, which rotates every 6 months.
During these 6 months, ministers from that country's government chair and help determine the agenda of Council meetings in each policy area, and facilitate dialogue with the other EU institutions.
Dates of Bulgarian presidencies:
Jan-June 2018
Presidency of the Council of the EU
The Commissioner nominated by Bulgaria to the European Commission is Mariya Gabriel, who is responsible for Digital Economy and Society.
The Commission is represented in each EU country by a local office, called a "representation".
Commission representation in Bulgaria
Bulgaria has 12 representatives on the European Economic and Social Committee. This advisory body – representing employers, workers and other interest groups – is consulted on proposed laws, to get a better idea of the possible changes to work and social situations in member countries.
Bulgaria has 12 representatives on the European Committee of the Regions, the EU's assembly of regional and local representatives. This advisory body is consulted on proposed laws, to ensure these laws take account of the perspective from each region of the EU.
Bulgaria also communicates with the EU institutions through its permanent representation in Brussels. As Bulgaria's "embassy to the EU", its main task is to ensure that the country's interests and policies are pursued as effectively as possible in the EU.
Member countries' financial contributions to the EU budget are shared fairly, according to means. The larger your country's economy, the more it pays – and vice versa. The EU budget doesn't aim to redistribute wealth, but rather to focus on the needs of all Europeans as a whole.

U.S. Sens. Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow and Congressmen John Dingell and John Conyers, Jr., announced today that Wayne County Airport Authority (WCAA) will receive an additional $12 million federal grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation towards renovating runway 05R/23L at Willow Run Airport.
The airport was awarded $9 million in initial federal funding in July to begin work on the renovation, as part of a larger $27.3 million request from WCAA. This additional funding will go towards completion of the runway repaving.
"Many Michigan businesses depend on Willow Run airport to meet their transportation needs, and this funding will help the airport to do its job more efficiently," said Sen. Levin. "This grant is great news for the airport and for our local economy that relies on it."
"This is more good news for Southeast Michigan companies that depend on business and cargo plane service at Willow Run," said Stabenow. "Rehabilitating the runway will ensure that the airport runs efficiently and supports economic growth."
"This funding is a continued investment in not only Willow Run Airport but our entire area, to help protect and create jobs that our working families rely on," said Dingell. "This facility is important to our local economy, and this smart funding will help them continue this important project as we all work to do more with less to get the job done on behalf of Southeast Michigan residents."
"I am delighted that, following a letter from the Michigan Congressional delegation this past summer, the Department of Transportation has awarded $12 million in grant funding to rehabilitate the runway at Willow Run Airport," said Conyers. "Willow Run is a critical regional transport hub, which is vital to continued economic growth in Southeast Michigan. At a time when federal infrastructure investment funding is in scarce supply, I thank Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx for prioritizing repair efforts here in Michigan."
Willow Run Airport is a leading air cargo and general aviation facility that handles 200 million pounds of cargo each year, leading to the contribution of $85 million to the regional economy and supporting 1,500 jobs across Michigan.

In the first episode of "The Daily Show" to air since Rick Sanchez called host Jon Stewart a bigot and then suggested Jews control the media -- and then got fired from CNN for doing so -- Stewart skewered Sanchez for his remarks.
First he laughed off Sanchez's suggestion that Stewart grew up a privileged rich kid in suburban New Jersey. "He really nailed what it was like growing up in Central Jersey in the early '70s, the fortunate son of a single mother in the education field," he said sarcastically.
Then he addressed the reason "The Daily Show" made fun of Sanchez in the first place, which seems to be what had set Sanchez off.
"We weren't making fun of Rick Sanchez because of some slight to his ethnicity," Stewart said, addressing Sanchez's claim that the media treated him as "second tier" because he is Hispanic. "It's just that we here see him as kind of a complex television character, who is flawed but fascinating to watch every week. So we put this whole bit together to kind of demonstrate that point. And then they fired the guy! So doing the whole bit now just seems kind of ... mean."
But they really couldn't resist mocking him, Stewart then said, because, well, just watch the clip:

Meanwhile, in a Facebook post, Sanchez's wife said he had apologized to Stewart personally, and that his outburst was the result of "exhaustion from working 14 hr days for 2 mo. straight," which "caused him to mangle his thought process inartfully."

Artist Recognition
Art Description
Painting: Oil on Canvas.
The 'Painting Is Infinite' series takes its title from a David Lynch quote, when he stated that the restrictions of the film-making process do not apply to the field of painting and that indeed 'painting is infinite'. This series plays with the quote on a literal level; celebrating the mental faculty that enables man to be transported by Art, and how we choose to perceive ourselves within the universe as equal if not quite a part of it. Each work presents a platform for the contemplation of the universe by using a standard box canvas that has been subverted and redefined in order to function as a device through which to wonder at the mysteries and scale of the universe.

The parentage of plays can be a little strange. Things that you wouldn't think go together come together and create a play you didn't quite expect. In July/ August of 2011 I was preoccupied with a couple of things: thinking about the Arab Spring, and considering the life of Moss Hart and the kind of plays he wrote (a strange combination, I know). It was while reading a Moss Hart bio that the setting and tone of The Mummy and The Revolution first came to me. I was so impressed by what Broadway could afford to do back in Moss Hart's day - in terms of cast size and lavish sets - that some weird synaptic connection was made in my mind between lavish set and the Egyptian revolution. Perhaps because the latter was such a spectacle that the idea of setting this play in a set that would be a spectacle in its own right occurred to me. And maybe just the anarchic and wonderful spirit of the revolution suggested the anarchic and kinetic energy of the farce genre. The entrances and exits, the blowing of doors open... So, should this piece ever get staged, this is one play where if I overhear an audience member say, "well, I loved the set", I wouldn't automatically think that they hated the play.
MAGDI: It's just the way things are, my dear. The way things always will be. A veritable law of nature. Even the animals here understand some among them will dominate. Do they begrudge the powerful among them? No, they adjust and tread carefully. God's creation is not evil for having a hierarchy, is it?
MUSHIRA :My God, you and Roger, you vomit the same nonsense, no wonder you're friends.
MAGDI: Aren't you religious? Isn't harmony only possible if everyone understands their place? And purpose? I know this sounds elitist, but I am a historian and see these terrible convulsions that always come around and destroy so much. The Christians rise up and destroy the library of Alexander; the Muslims rise up the deface the ancient Statues, the nationalists rise up and drive out anyone they don't think is Egyptian enough.
MUSHIRA: Our struggle is different. We will include everyone.
MAGDI: It always is: "Our struggle, our cries of the heart are different, and fresh, and will bring about change." And they don't of course because your cries are no more than a grab for what doesn't belong to you. And so it goes: the back of every revolution is broken on the wheel of that power-grab, and greed. A revolution is no more than a mass uprising for collective theft. It's the only time when larceny and the settling of old scores can come across as virtuous.

Configuring the M8000 Xtreme
Among the several unfriendly applications we've already tested here, the Ghost software deserves our kudos. It's a ghost you shouldn't be afraid of: the interface is smart and intuitive, graphically representing the nine reprogrammable buttons with their original functions and the ones the user wants to change. We do hope it sets the standard for the industry because it's an example of a application done right.
Aside from the great interface, the robust software supports 70 customizable macros and 45 button assignments for the five user profiles that can be stored in the 32 kb internal memory. That way the M8000Xtreme can be plugged to several different PCs and still retain the modifications done by the user, be it for gaming or working related activities. The program can associate a different color to each profile or even let the mouse remain unlit for those who prefer a more discrete peripheral on the table. The Ghost also features the Perfect Tracking Precision tool to analyze and better calibrate the laser according to the surface.

Fear, anger, hate, and suffering got canceled
Game Informer reports in their May 2014 edition of their magazine that Austin-based developer Red Fly Studio was appointed by LucasArts to produce a dark coming-of-age experience featuring Darth Maul, the well-known Sith Lord who was introduced to us in Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace and featured in various Star Wars video games, forced against his will into the Sith hierarchy.
The studio envisioned a dark coming-of-age tale, showing a young Maul forced against his will into the Sith chain of command.
\"We wanted people to see him as a kid kidnapped by emperor Palpatine and tortured – physically, mentally, and emotionally – becoming this powerful Sith Lord," says a developer who worked on the project but wishes to remain anonymous. "You got angry, you got frustrated, and you made the same mistakes he did. No one has ever seen Sith training up close. No one has ever seen how to construct a Sith from kid to adult. We've only seen the five-second turn: Anakin Skywalker cries a little bit, and then he's evil."
For those who haven\'t seen all six Star Wars films (shame on you), Palpatine, or Darth Sidious, assumed the role of both Chancellor and Emperor, in order to rise to power through manipulation and treachery. We never saw his evil schemes in action so this is what Game Informer reports Red Fly was looking to correct all while showing the role Maul played in them. You, the player, were to experience the digressing relationship between the two to the point of Maul raising his double-sided saber – a weapon players helped construct – against Palpatine.
"You want to fight him, and of course that's what he wants," recalls the developer. "Our story basically bookended at the end of The Phantom Menace with Maul's death. We felt [this story] would be a really solid, large game, maybe two games."
While Red Fly\'s vision never made it back to LucasArts, they did get a chance to continue working with the Sith Lord in two succeeding visions – one based on the Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and another based on ideas from George Lucas, who Game Informer says \"proposed a crazy idea that took everyone by surprise, and would have shattered the temporal fabric of the Star Wars universe had it seen the light of day.\"
So began the rough road Red Fly\'s team was taken on, where there efforts only amounted to getting the chance to influence one of the largest franchises on the planet.
Following up on the story of how Red Fly studios acquired the job to work on Ninetendo and LucasArts new IP, we find out that prototyping of working title called \"Maul\" began on October 9, 2010 under the internal code-name "Damage." Red Fly was under the impression that they\'d be telling the origin story of Darth Maul and were even had LucasArts promise them that they\'d help with the general direction of the fiction. Unfortunately, Lucasfilm already had plans to tell his story in the Clone Wars animated series.
\"We were told Maul survived his encounter with Obi-Wan Kenobi in The Phantom Menace,\" says a former Red Fly team member who wishes to remain nameless. \"We fashioned robotic legs on Maul after being told he had them. Then we were told he had a brother named Savage Opress. He was supposedly green. Again, we were not told of the Clone Wars storyline at this time.\"
It was at this time that the team learned that the negotiations between LucasArts and Nintendo to make the Darth Maul project exclusive to a Nintendo platform had collapsed – \"due largely to Nintendo not meeting financial demands to make it a first-party project,\" Game Informer reports. As a result, development was extended to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and Wii U.
\"It was tough because we didn\'t have any information,\" remembers a developer. "They didn\'t want to share it. They didn't want to leak any Clone Wars stuff. We were like, \'Good God, are we doing this or not?\'\"
Just about the only lead LucasArts gave Red Fly to go on for a few months was the tagline (and potential name) "Battle of the Sith Lords."
\"We were kind of fumbling around in the dark in terms of lore, so we just started making a game instead, which was kind of fun,\" recalls another anonymous ex-Red Fly employee. \"The initial plan was to explore making a stealth game that was action-centric. So instead of a stop-and-wait game like Thief, it was more forward stealth, like kill that person before they can actually alert someone, then disappear into the rafters. We also started developing the concept of Maul as a glass cannon. Taking our cues from Arkham Asylum, you are insanely powerful and deadly, but one or two hits will take you out.\"
Months work on a prototype for the Darth Maul game was going well. Gameplay systems and art direction were all coming ashore and even Maul\'s animations, specifically vaults over obstacles, were reportedly as fluid as his movie counterpart. A core team of Red Fly employees later brought their prototype to LucasArts creative director Clint Hocking and designer Kent Hudson to discuss the next steps.
\"We discussed ways to make the core gameplay loop compelling,\" recalled an anonymous source. \"We said Darth Maul\'s connection to the Force was through generating fear. The idea was to f— with the A.I., and generate fear to build up your ability to use the Force, execute stealth kills, and manipulate the environment. It was exciting, cool stuff. Later on, we learned this was probably a little bit of a misstep.\"
Red Fly representatives later traveled to LucasFilm's Big Rock Ranch to meet with key members of the Clone Wars animated team, where they gained some clarity for Darth Maul's future, though not necessarily their game.
\"We were told that after The Phantom Menace, Maul ended up in a trash compactor, went crazy, and assembled a spider body for himself out of junk,\" recalls the former Red Fly staffer. \"So we were going, \'Oh God, we have to put a robotic spider body on f— ing Darth Maul! What the hell!\'"
Red Fly wasn\'t particularly thrilled with the direction the Clone Wars\' Darth Maul story was taking and began to distance itself from it, hoping they could return to their original idea. Around the same time, LucasArts had informed Red Fly of George Lucas\'s interest in bringing Darth Talon, a female Lethan Twi\'lek who became a Sith Lady and served under Darth Kryat in Dark Horse Comics' Legacy era stories, into the game. All this confusion because to frustrate the team as one Red Fly developer recalls:
"LucasArts said, \'There is a lot of crosstalk going on, misinformation. Let's actually sit down and have you guys talk to George.'\"
In the end, talks with the creator, who as interesting in hearing their pitch, were less than successful, with a source advising the team to never say \"No\" to Lucas, say \"Yeah, that will be easy,\" mention Starkiller as anything else but \"that guy,\" and, most importantly, \"Don\'t tell George how the Force works.\"
\"Before they could finish their spiel, Lucas cut them off, stood up, walked over to the statues, rotated them to be facing the same direction, pushed them together, and said \'They're friends!\'\" adds the source. \"He wanted these characters to be friends, and to play off of each other. He talked about the show Bum Notice as a reference point. He likened Darth Maul to Sonny from The Godfather, and he likened Darth Talon to Lauren Bacall. He actually did an impersonation of her. It was supposedly the weirdest impersonation of a \'40s actress going, \'Don't you know how to whistle? Put your lips together and blow.\'\"
What Red Fly understood was that Maul and Talon were separated by over 170 years of Star Wars fiction – like if Han Solo was buddies with Anakin Skywalker. Lucas\' solution to this was to have Talon be a descendant of Darth Maul or a clone of him.
\"He wanted the kind of experience where the player could tell the game what type of story they wanted,\" an ex-Red Fly employee recalled. \"It wasn't so much choose-your-own-adven-ture; it was more of a player being able to act as director, letting the game still respond and react to the player's wishes and surprising the player with new experiences that maybe they didn\'t expect. Clearly this was not the forward stealth game for Darth Maul anymore.\"
The Red Fly team left the three hour meeting, dumbfounded by the new direction, and spent a few more days at LucasArts' campus working closely with its team to determine how to get this new idea to work.
The new story would have Darth Maul and Darth Talon pitted against Darth Krayt and his Sith army.
A developer close to the story discussions remembers, \"If we were going that route, the heir of Maul had to be a secret. He could be trained by the ghost of Maul himself in the ways of the Sith, and wait until it was time to \'strike back\' at the Sith for polluting the rule of Two: One Master, One Apprentice. We wanted to go with that. It was up to Maul\'s heir to return the Sith to the balance of two – and of course have Talon be focused into it. We felt this was the best [story] we could make out of the ingredients we were given. We never got to hear if Lucas liked this story or the direction we were going.\"
LucasArts' Frederic Markus believed that the game needed a sophisticated laser deflection mechanic.
\"We had this Arkham mechanic with lightsabers, and he wanted us to come up with a mechanic that would allow the player to deflect incoming laser fire, which is not that difficult,\" remembers a former Red Fly developer. \"But at the same time, we had to direct it back, and control it while not breaking combat or using time dilation. That was quite a feat. We almost cracked it, and we came up with something that was kind of a hybrid and almost workable, but we really didn\'t feel like deflection was a Maul trait. Maul is just about attack. Attack, attack, attack, attack. We had heads flying everywhere.\"
Despite the great effort in developing proof of concept, LucasArts wouldn't sign off on any of the big-ticket items that would allow development to truly get underway.
The concept art pieces obtained by Game Informer revealed a few things, such as the team\'s hopes to tie in the Black Sun criminal syndicate.
[custom_gallery id=\"51486\"]
Prototyping continued with the ideas from the concept art in mind, and and idea of how the studio could complete the game was in sight.
\"We had the idea that Talon would be a reflection of the player character in many ways, and would respond to what the player was doing as Maul,\" says a former source from the team. \"We had a bunch of prototypes for different storytelling techniques whereby you could start nudging the scene toward a Talon approach or a Darth Maul approach. We had characters that could take any number of weird situational inputs and could query the world for things, and then make a response that seemed to make sense. But I think there were still people that were in love with the idea of Darth Maul using fear as his root to the Force. It started shooting out in too many different directions at once, unfortunately, and we had a lot of people – we should have trimmed that down to probably 10 or 15.\"
The team was later flown to San Francisco for help with the prototypes.
\"We went to LucasArts\' campus every day and prototyped with Frederic,\" a developer says. \"We learned a lot, did some good work, went back to Austin, but weren\'t really able to execute on it.\"
Finally, LucasArts thought the team was ready to make the game and even brought up the idea of acquiring the studio as a subsidiary.
In a sad turn of events, LucasArts abruptly ended communication with Red Fly.
\"We didn\'t hear from them for two weeks,\" an ex-Red Fly employee remembers. \"Two and a half weeks. No word. Nothing. And when I say no word, I mean nothing. We tried to contact them over and over and over again. We know how slow they move, and we\'ve seen them do this before. We were at least hopeful. But still no word came. We did manage to get some of the guys, the internal producers that were on our project, on Skype, and they looked like they were kicked in the nuts. We knew what was going on. They just couldn\'t tell us. But we didn\'t know the extent of what was going on. We thought, \'Okay, they're not going to buy us. Fine.\' We didn't know the game would get canceled.\"
On June 24, 2011, Red Fly\'s executives received an email with the subject heading \"Maul Termination Letter.\"
Not only was the game dead, but the studio was entering financial struggles without LucasArts\' support.
"Despite the project being canceled, LucasArts treated us very well afterwards," says Red Fly's Dan Borth. "While it was a struggle, they gave us the ability to continue operating."
But the studio survived, and work on new, unannounced game projects continues today. However, that all didn\'t come without having to let go 70 percent of the workforce.
As Game Informer reports, numerous ex-Red Fly staffers believe the cancellation didn't have anything to do with their prototypes, but rather all to do with George Lucas' decision to sell his company to Disney.
"It's the only thing that makes any sense," says a former Red Fly employee. "Everything needed to be put on ice.\"
"A lot of good people on both sides really put their hearts into it," Borth says. "We certainly wish things would have gone differently.\"

Now this is interesting news. Hollywood usually talks a pretty good game about tolerance and being open-minded, but talk is cheap, as they say. And as you can probably tell by all the TV series out there, Hollywod still can't quite get over the hump of actually putting their money where their mouth is, since let's face it, white guys and gals are still the leads in almost every single TV show out there. Scratch that. An Asian woman is in talks to land the lead in the CW's TV reboot of Luc Besson's "La Femme Nikita", which is apparently just going by the title "Nikita".
That woman is Maggie Quigley, aka Maggie Q., who Hong Kong movie fans will recognize instantly, but everyone else might know her as "the tough but sexy Asian chick" from movies like "Mission Impossible 3" and "Live Free or Die Hard". (She's also got "Priest" with Paul Bettany coming out soon.) Obviously if you wanted someone who can look good and kick ass convincingly, you needn't look farther than Maggie Q. For those who are curious, Q. is the daughter of an American father and a Vietnamese mother, and although she doesn't scream "Asian", she won't exactly be mistaken for "Caucasian", either.
THR lists Maggie Q.'s hiring as "pending", which means it's not yet a done deal. Q. has a thriving movie career in Asia to consider, where she regularly lands female leads, and her Hollywood career ain't exactly hurting, either. Which makes her jump to TV a bit surprising, so who knows if she changes her mind later on, because frankly, this may be a step down for her, career-wise. Fronting a TV show, even a successful one, doesn't always translate well into a movie career. Just ask the girl who previously played Nikita successfully for five seasons in a previous TV incarnation. What was her name again?
Craig Silverstein will produce and run the show, which will have Q. playing the titular Nikita, a highly trained assassin for a mysterious organization who goes on the run. Her former agency is then forced to train a replacement and, one presumes, hunt her down.

I have been reloading for ~4months now and I have grown to enjoy it, however I am looking to speed up the production rate considerably. I have a Lee Anniversary Reloading Kit that I have been using since I started, and have gotten some VERY good reults with ammo I've made on it. Specifically, I have been using the Lee Challenger Single stage press that comes with the kit. At a good speed, I am able to make ~50 rounds an hour. I normally shoot ~ 300 rounds of .45 ACP a month and 200 rounds of 9mm per month. This has led to quite a bit of time sitting at the reloading bench when I could be doing other things.
I am beginning to think it may be time to goto a progressive setup, but to do so, I don't wanna spend more than $150 total for a setup. This pretty much rules out everything except the Lee Pro 1000 progressive. I can get it for $129 (shipped) from Midway.
Seeing as how happy I am with the Anniversayy kit I got for $65, do you guys think that I would be happy with the Lee Pro 1000 as well? I have read that it does have some problems with feeding large pistol primers, and since I do load .45 Acp, this is somewhat of a concern. I also don't quite understand how you can make 150 rounds plus per hour on the Lee, and have all rounds taper crimped, etc? On the challenger press I use, I have to "manually" crimp each round using the bullet seating/crimpng die by tightening the die by hand when each round is inside the die. How exactly do you get away from having to do this "by hand" with the progressive? Don't you use the same exact dies?
Thanks for all your help, because as you can see I am a progressive newbie

I don't haveany experience specifically with the Lee 1000, but I can answer your question about the taper crimp die.
It is an extra stage after bullet seating. Keep the body of the seating die high enough so that the roll crimp doesn't engage the case at all. After seating the bullet, rotate the cartridge to the taper crimp station. Be sure and not use too much pressure when taper crimping, it's not necessary. Adjust it to the proper outside dimensions of your case at the mouth. .473 for the ACP.

Sorry charlie but at 500 rounds a month, you have three alternatives.
First, shoot less, aim for qaulity shots not quanity.
Second, buy a Dillion Square Deal used.
Or third, buy a used turret press for $50-100 that will get you about 100-120 rounds an hour.
With the Dillon SD, maybe 300 an hour. 5 hours versus 2 hours on the progressive. Your choice.

I started out with an RCBS single stage, then progressed to a Lee turret. From there I modified my turret into a Pro 1000 with parts from Midway. Much cheaper than a full progressive and it suits my style of loading.
I load 2000 9mm and 40 a week for myself and my buddies, so I can truely say that progressive saves major time. I use all the shell and bullet feeders that are available, and mine work great. I've never had any problem feeding anything, cases, bullets, primers, etc.
I always use the Lee factory crimp dies, either the taper or the roll, depending on what I'm reloading. Makes a major difference in ease of chambering, feeding, and wear and tear on feed ramps. Never mind reliability. Many people here use my reloads for IDPA shoots. Never had any complaints, and if one of my bullets fails to fire during competition, then I provide the person free factory loads for their next shoot. Never had to do that, though!
To get it all done, my method is to taper crimp on my single stage. Unless you have a 4 stage or more head, there's no real way to do it all in one arm pull. That's why I'm getting a Dillon as soon as the tax may repays me!
A "Miss" is the ultimate overpenetration!

The smallest and most affordable of the upscale DS line-up, the DS3 model has been produced in 300, 000 units at Citroen's manufacturing Poissy site in France – a success for the ailing carmaker.
PSA Peugeot Citroen has been fighting to get "Back in the Race" – just to paraphrase new CEO Tavares strategy to uplift the company – and while Citroen as a brand has had mixed results over the latest decade or so, the idea of moving the brand a bit upscale with a separate, more premium line has been fruitful.
So much that under the new management the DS line-up will get full brand status, while Citroen has been relegated to the "affordable" position in the company. So, there's no wonder the Citroen factories are churning out more DS vehicles – as they bring a higher earnings margin.
The 300,000th DS3 produced at the Poissy factory is part of the all-new limited edition "So Irresistible", is clad in a Perla Nera black body paint and also features the newest addition of the model – the new Xenon Full LED light signature.
Featured on 2014 models, and acting as a model year refresh – much in the case of US models, which get a change or two each year to keep them fresh – the new light signature is available on both the regular DS3 and on the Cabrio model. There's a brand new light assembly that mixes both LED and Xenon modules and adds sequential indicators ? a world's first, according to the French brand.

ARA News
Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan – The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) vowed on Wednesday the parties that buy Iraqi oil from the Central Government of taking legal procedures unless KRG has its share of the revenues of those sales.
The Ministry of Natural Resources in the Kurdistan Region said in a statement released on Wednesday that if the Federal (Central) Government (headed by PM Nouri al-Maliki) did not share the revenue according to the Iraqi constitution, the KRG has the right to take action to get all the benefits which the Iraqi constitution committed the Central Government to pay back to the Kurdistan Region.
"The buyers, who fail to provide such payments to the KRG, facilitate the Central Government to violate KRG's right of the share, handing over money belonging to the Kurdistan Region," KRG Minister of Natural Resources said.
Talking to ARA News, Khurshid Alika, Master in Economics and International Relations, member of the Kurdish Society Economists of Syria and lecturer of economics at the University of al-Furat, said that the Iraqi constitution stipulates that the Kurdistan Region of Iraq receives 17% of its share of the whole Iraqi oil, and after attaching the disputed areas to the Kurdistan Region, "this must raise the Region's share of the public budget to at least 25 percent of Iraqi oil rather than being reduced".
"In case of the public budget of non-payment, they (KRG officials) must resort to the Iraqi constitution to demand the Central Government to repay the Kurdistan share of the public budget," Alika said. "They can also put pressure on al-Maliki regime through the U.S. and regional powers to pay the share of the KRG."
Alika believes that the ministry's statement does not affect those companies, but it imposes pressure on Kurdistan Region to speed up the decision of the referendum to impose the legitimacy of independence.
"Thus, the Kurdistan Region should work on legitimizing its economic independence through providing the five economic props such as oil, agriculture, industry, trade, and tourism," Alika stated to ARA News.
Noteworthy, the Iraqi Central Government deducted the Kurdistan Region's share of the public budget in response to the KRG's export of oil extracted from its territory without agreement with the Central Government.

My girls list want some opinions.
I posted my boys list and got some good help. So I'm gonna post my girls list now.
The full names I like are
Eve Noelle
Tavi Lynn
Clara Paige
First names I love but can't really find the perfect middle names for:
Tess/Tessa(I think I lean more towards Tess)
I like to use family middle names for middle names some family names are...Connie, Charlene, Penny, Leigh (my mom and his moms first and middle names), Fern, Gladys,Hildagard,Emily,Myra,Catherine,Rose( grandmother's names) My middle name is Fawn which too would be usable...Go ahead and switch around the middle names on all the names..
Any suggestions to names are appriciated also! I like short names or names harder to nickname normally but there are few that long names that have caught my eye. Thanks and have a good day.

I love Eve Noelle from your list and also the first name Tavi - not necessarily w/ Lynn (I dont dislike that combo, just saying I really love the name Tavi, but with or without the lynn). I am a huge fan of Noelle and Tess/Tessa. How about combining them, Tess Noelle or Tessa Noelle? I don't really care for Clara, I dont hate it, just not a big fan, I prefer Claire. But I do think Clara Paige flows together very well. A couple possible combinations with your family/other names are:
Evelyn Fern
Lillian Fern
Emily Elise
Cora Leigh
Evelyn EliseCurrently Loving:
Girls - Noelle, Story, Adrienne, Kensington, Tessa, Cheyenne, Brisa, Cordelia, Autumn, Tawny, Elora, Mireille, Corsica, Brienne, Caliana, Anya, Vida, Agatha, Millie, Georgia, Autumn

Imagine a highly maneuverable, armed-to-the-teeth gun boat. But on land! Sounds incredible doesn't it, but these metallic killing earth beasts do exist.
They're called tanks and they're brilliant. Nothing else with a turret – castles, chateaus, forts – can compare to this supreme caterpillar-tracked, bullet-spewing murder car.
But surely these armoured fighting monsters can only be owned by millionaires like Richard Branstons and the Chuckle Brothers? Probably. But if you wanted to own a tank, what would you do and where would it be? Here's how…
