Urban Swale Partnership, Kent: West Minster Primary School
Day three of our trip to Kent, and a delightful visit to West Minster Primary School. Thank you to Alan Bayford, Executive Head, and Tracey Cadwallader, Head of School, and the rest of the staff, including the school's very own Mr Walker (Site Manager) for buzzing around so helpfully and for becoming apart of the fun filled day.
The children today wrote some excellent, stunning pieces of descriptive narrative. Very kindly, Carolyn Lewis, Primary ICT Consultant, Swale and Thanet, also cracked on with it and crafted the following description:
"The children in West Minster School put Sheppey writing into dazzling perspective as they created, discussed, wrote and read out loud the brilliant ideas they had penned whilst considering the world of Myst. As a grown-up, I was thrilled by the invisible sparks crackling mutely as they worked.
Year 3 Lesson – This was the little people on big chairs. We wandered wearily across the parched desert, glancing furtively at the angry red dinosaur rocks and the molten peaks behind. Was it an alien place, or merely a dream? Year 3 thought, discussed and scribed their feelings as they 'stood' on a rocky outcrop watching the scenes unfold."
"Year 2 Lesson – Even smaller people moved to the mats for a closer look at the helix plant. Did it go up, or did it go down? Was it living, or made of wood? Would we ever get to find out about the bird? We put scary thoughts aside and dreamed ourselves into the scene, writing and drawing our ideas as we worked with our friends. Then we were allowed a closer look into the flower……but we would spoil the effect if we told you what came next!!"
"Year 5 Lesson – Sensational!! Year 5 at West Minster worked their socks off. The ideas richly flowed, and the pencils rapidly wore down to stumps as pupils took their imaginations to far off planets and visually exciting vistas. Was the water hot or icy cold? Did the volcano power the houses, or was the smoke we saw from something more threatening? What was the enormous green plant? The gardener and his translator told their remarkable story, describing their life in the valley. What had happened to the missing villagers? – it was too terrible to tell, so the gardener spared us from the gruesome details as he hung his head in sad reflection."
Many thanks to Carolyn for her thoughts, and detailed account of today's very enjoyable events. THANK YOU!
I often confess that I am not really "a maths man".
"I took two maths O'levels and failed three!" (Boom Boom!)
As a literacy bloke, the only graphs I know are them there ParrotGraphs.
I do like logic problems though, and admit to getting a little hooked on Planarity.net, and their superb brain teaser about untangling a series of increasingly knotted lines.
If you, like me, get frustrated unravelling cables, then this might prove a step too far.
(Travelling and setting up a lot of equipment can be a little frustrating. I can't wait until they invent the Sony KnotMan, or the Black and Decker Knotmate, that do all that "unknitting" automatically!)

Developing Sales Capability Index for a Telecom major's sales force
The Task:
An exercise to measure sales capability of a telecom client's sales force in Africa was carried out by Centum Learning limited. The exercise was aimed at enabling the Client to have quantitative as well as qualitative understanding of the current levels of capability in the sales team. This would further enable them to understand the skill gaps of the sales teams and develop appropriate training initiatives.
The Solution:
The tool used for this evaluation was the Sales Capability Index (SCI). SCI is a set of functional capabilities one must have to perform a particular task. A role may perform several tasks and therefore capabilities for each of these tasks, bifurcated by knowledge and skills, were mapped. Centum's extensive understanding of the telecom Sales & Distribution domain through functional experience throughout the globe played a significant role in developing SCIs for multiple roles.
The Result:
A total of 644 Sales & Distribution employees were covered under this initiative across 15 countries in Africa. A document detailing the scores achieved by the various role holders in various countries was provided to the client. Also included was a Pan African comparison of SCI scores between all countries.

Continuing with presenting from the rare and wonderful offerings from the Sakuma Brothers, who were kind enough to send me a box of samples, so I feel that the least I can do is turn their gift into a shadow of words and hopefully intrigue others to try it.
I want to also mention, that the tea arrived in 5 separate samples:
White #1, White #2, Green #1, Green #2, and Oolong.
I elected to start with the most delicate and move towards the more complex, knowing in advance that there are many processes that can transform a tea and wondering after a number of factors that transform a tea and its flavor (from the processing and growing side). Now after tasting the white and both the green samples, I'm even more curious.
I would be interested in learning:
what type of Camellia plant it comes from?
what type of companion plants grow beside it or shelter them?
what elevation and degree of slope the plants grow on?
and if hillside grown, what direction the hill faces?
In any case all of the teas have been interesting, complex, and distinctively crafted. They all have a freshness about them and a fruitiness, which by itself doesn't distiguish it as unusual, but the smell and the specific character of each tea carries with it a type of rare expression that is worth the experience.
I deliberately labeled this tea #1 and will be writing separate reviews on both green tea samples, as they both have unique qualities worth mentioning.
Green Tea #1 – Sakuma Bros. Market
Dry Aroma: Dried cherries, sweetened. Brown sugar and raw hulled barley and brown rice.
Wet Aroma: Nutty, almost pistachio-like. Uncooked, fresh from the earth spinach.
Appearance: Large, mostly whole leaves, twisted like knotted roots or a coiled wet towel. Green bean colored in hue with slight blond and brown variation.
Cup: 1st extraction/3g/7oz porcelain gaiwan/190 degree filtered water
Pale, lemon-yellow liqour. Fine reddish/orange particulate, resembling slivers of chicory or rooibos, almost like pollen, that settles and lightly floats in the cup in suspension. The texture of the cup is ever so perceptably granular, but the strong nutty flavor and slightly mineral aspect to the finish (almost like a very subtle aftertaste of a zinc vitamin) fluidly masks the perception that the tea is anything but smooth. There is a very fresh mineral, citrus, and fruity dominate flavor, fading into a clear lime finish that grows as the tea cools. It finishes with a sweet and tart cleanliness that is pleasant and this intensifies with following steeps. 2nd – 4th steeps were done with 200 degree water, steeping for 3-5 minutes. Consistent color, aroma, and body was present in all steeps, with lime flavors growing clearer and dominating. It should be mentioned, that this is the flavor of the lime zest, or white membrane and less like the juice, though there is some hint at it. This flavor also harks at almonds and perhaps even yuzu. I kept getting the impression that these flavors would intensify with a cold, overnight brewing. Eating the leaves, there was a slight residual bitterness, usually indicating that more steeps were hidden in the leaf (but I wasn't able to continue). It took nearly 3 steeps for the leaves to fully unfurl from the twisted shape and when they were fully extracted they were nearly all 3" in length, usually consisting of the stem, 1 large leaf, and 2 smaller leaves.
Amazing to see what we can grow in beautiful Washington.

CCEA approves Phase III of Yamuna Action Plan
New Delhi, Dec 1 (PTI) The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) today approved the Rs 1656-crore proposal for Japanese assisted Yamuna Action Plan-Phase III project for Delhi The Japan International Cooperation Agency assisted project is meant for improving water quality of River Yamuna through sewerage infrastructure modernisation and comes under Government's National River Conservation Plan (NRCP). It will be implemented on 85:15 cost sharing basis between the Central Government and Delhi state government for a period of seven years. Under the Yamuna Action Plan -III, it is proposed to rehabilitate the damaged trunk sewers to maximise the utilisation of available treatment capacity and modernise the Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) in three catchment areas of Delhi namely Okhla, Kondli and Rithala. It is proposed to construct a new state of art STP in place of old STP of 136 million litres per day capacity at Okhla and to equip them with tertiary level treatment facilities to achieve treated effluent quality of 10 mg/1 for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) so as to improve the water quality of river Yamuna. "These works will be integral to the Sewerage Master Plan being prepared by Delhi Jal Board (DJB). The project will be implemented by DJB under the supervision of the Department of Urban Development, Government of NCT of Delhi," said a government statement here. "The implementation of the project shall improve the water quality of the river along with improved aesthetics of the area through tackling of sewage generated from identified catchments of Delhi," it said.

With haunting themes of family, faith, personal change, and courage, this powerful new novel explores how a young man takes on unimaginable responsibilities.
©2008 Susan Beth Pfeffer; (P)2008 Random House, Inc.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"A pretty good book"
The narrator was acceptable. The story was pretty good, however grew a little tired of the excess Catholicism. Perhaps the author felt this was needed to build the main characters. The actions of the characters left that hollow if this was the case.
"Great series!"
I readily enjoy apocalyptic novels. Scary to think of how these things can really happen, but interesting!
"another great book"
excellent a little turned off by reader, voice too deep for 17 year old boy
"This must be a setup for a future book..?"
Boring and drags horribly in places (pointing directly at the 4-5 day hallucination scene- omg).
Could have told the entire story in a chapter or less.
Excessive religious theme was very annoying.
Combing those last two things I can only guess that it's a character set up for a future book (in which the almost agnostic Miranda meets the very Catholic, Alex?).
Characters are shallow. I didn't feel any emotions for them where I should have. Again hoping that will change later.
Standing alone- it wouldn't.
Narrator did a fine job, imo. You can't blame him for the story, and since it was told from a male perspective, and considering the topic of the series, he was a good fit. Very deep voice. It worked for me.
Like I said, I think the whole thing was written to give a little backstory on the main character Alex. So, read it for the series.. or google it (where I'm certain you'd get as much necessary information, in a lot less time) and save that precious credit. Haha.
Don't expect to be enthralled. You'll find yourself daydreaming, and not missing much.
"sad but good"
I read the book before listening to it. but I got more out of it.
"Not as good as the 1st book"
I like the overall story line of this book series and its concepts. That being said, this book wasn't was exciting as the 1st book, and I'm sorry to say it the narrator was boring.
I would still highly recommend this book series though :)
"Horrible narrati N"
This guy's voice was driving me crazy. Really distracted from the story.
Probably not. All of the dialogue...he SAID, she SAID. Blech
Anyone would be better.
"Powerful and Thought Provoking"
I loved this book and I am working on getting it into my curriculum at my school
The Forest of Hands and Teeth
Others in the series (Life as we Knew it)
The House of the Scorpion
Hunger Games
These are all books about a potential and dark future (different types of dystopian futures)
He was great
Wow, I can't think of a good one, but it is a great book and I think that the movie would be very powerful
"Interesting companion to Life As We Knew It"
The moon has been hit by an asteroid and is now orbiting closer to earth. This causes on-going tidal waves and volcanic eruptions which wreak havoc on the earth's environment. In Life As We Knew It we see the effect on a family living in a suburban community. In this book, Pfeffer shows us her vision of what would happen in New York City. Interesting, but long. The narrator has a very deep voice that reminds me of an undertaker - appropriate with all the death. There is a hopeful ending.

On Hit Points
View Single Post
July 20th, 2012, 04:08
I was looking at Natuk again recently, it was a game where you played orcs and it did a pretty good job with a reasonably realistic combat system. But I think you had 8 characters, which helped a lot, so if one got taken out by a lucky headshot it wasn't the end of the world, and you could ressurect them after the fight. There were still hit points, but you could still take an arrow to the eye, lose a leg, etc. It could make difficult fights pretty tense as you not only worried about hit points running low, but getting more and more injuries.

OCOEE, Fla. - An Ocoee family is suing Orange County, the City of Ocoee and an Ocoee police officer after their dog was shot and killed.
Local 6 first told viewers about the family's loss in September shortly after a Boxer, named Laila, was killed.
According to the lawsuit, Ocoee police officer Jeremy Lewis knocked on Mitch and Jackie Schutt's front door for an unrelated incident.
The Schutts claim Laila ran out to the front lawn when they opened their door.
Jackie Schutt said she grabbed the dog, but the officer opened fire, hitting Laila three times.
The suit alleges one bullet ricocheted off their front door, nearly striking their two young children.
The Schutts are suing for an unspecified amount of damages and attorneys fees.

From student to line cook to teacher to waitress and eventually to award-winning author, Patchett's own life has taken many twists and turns that make her exploration genuine and resonant. As Patchett says, "'What now?' represents our excitement and our future, the very vitality of life." She highlights the possibilities the unknown offers and reminds us that there is as much joy in the journey as there is in reaching the destination.

"A commencement message for life"
If you are a fan of Ann Patchett's beautiful language and subtle humor, you will find this an interesting and entertaining windown into how she writes--and she became a writer. I loved learning, for example, that the stately home in which "Bel Canto" takes place was modeled on the home of the dean at her college.
I downloaded this in hopes of finding a few "life lesson" gems for our son, who is on his way to his first year at Willamette University. My husband and I both listened to it first, and found it to go several steps beyond the usual commencement day admonitions to "aim high" and "work hard" and "follow your passions."
This is a highly pleasant way to spend 50 minutes.
"Quick! Read it! Give it to others!"
Ann Patchett narrates.
There's something so special about listening to the author narrate his or her own story. And here's the best part - this is more than a story. It's a bit of advice, a personal tale of bump and rise, and even though it's set up as a graduation speech, it's inspirational for everyone.
"so disappointed - seemed self serving for Ann"
absolutely - one of my favorite authors - this short reading was a major disappointment and seemed to be self serving.
have a message
"Wanted more"
This was okay.... but left me wanting more insight, more inspiration. It was meh....

Voiced By: Doug Bradley
Classification: Power Character
Biography: Once Captain Elliot Spencer, a human who became disenchanted with human life after World War I, he found the Lament Configuration. Solving it turned him into Pinhead, leader of the Cenobites, demons specializing in dark and gruesome carnal desires.
Intro: The Lament Configuration puzzle box seems to roll onto the battlefield before chains come out, ensnaring a offscreen victim who screams before Pinhead teleports from a blue light, saying "It is not hands that calls me, it is desire..", ready to fight.
Post-Round Taunt: Simply holds out his hand as the arena quickly flashes from the normal stage to Leviathan's Labyrinth and back, saying "We'll tear your soul apart!" or "No tears please. It's a waste of good suffering! "
Outro: Pinhead grabs the puzzle box, saying "Your suffering will be legendary, even in hell!" as chains ensnare the opponent offscreen, their screams of pain heard as the Female, Butterball and Chatter Cenobites surround Pinhead as their give their iconic pose.
Special Moves:
Chain of Pain: Pinhead raises his hand out towards the opponent, sending a chain to knock them to the ground. (Meter Burn: The chain is bladed, doing slightly more damage and impales into the opponent, dragging them towards Pinhead, open for a free hit or combo.)
Chain Guard: Pinhead summons a quick wall of chains in front of him to block projectiles. (Meter Burn: After the projectile connects, a chain comes from the wall, hitting the opponent.)
Snaring Agony: Pinhead makes a couple chains rise up from under the opponent, snaring them in place, open for a free hit or combo.
Bleeding Cut: Pinhead slashes the opponent two times with his sharp blade he grabs from his waist. (Meter Burn: Slashes only once before stabbing the opponent in the neck with it, stunning them for a quick moment, open for a free hit or combo.)
Chain Evade: Pinhead has a chain burst from him and allows him to either goes forward over the opponent (Where the chain comes out of his chest) or backwards (Where it comes out of his back.)
Forward: Grabs the opponent with small hooks on his fingertips, stabbing them as they scream in pain before a chain appears from behind the opponent, dragging and slamming them on the ground in front of Pinhead.
Back: Grabs the opponent with small hooks on his fingertips, stabbing them as they scream in pain before a chain appears from behind Pinhead, flipping the opponent to the ground behind Pinhead.
Character Trait:
Pinhead Unbound: Gives a yell at the opponent as his skin turns more grayish-white and a red glow around him as any attacks having to do with his chains do more damage along with being immune to Pop-up attacks for a short while.
Super Move:
Welcome to Hell: Pinhead holds the puzzle box as it sends hooked chains at the opponent whose shown transported to Leviathan's Labyrinth, being spun around by the hooked chains as they scream in pain before Pinhead as the Chatterbeast's growl is heard it attacks the opponent, before the other Cenobites surround the victime and attacks as Pinhead gives a evil laugh before both appear back in the arena, the opponent falling in pain.
Ending: Found among many items in Felix Faust's possession when the Regime took command, they knew of the Lament Configuration's reputation and hid it in the Fortress of Solitude, so no one would solve it. But someone has, or rather was forced to solve it, summoning Pinhead, who seeks whoever desired what the box held. After many false leads, Pinhead will now show Wonder Woman what she wanted, whether she wants it or not.

- Doug Bradley has played Pinhead for every Hellraiser film since the first one, and before anyone says anything, "Revelations" doesn't exist. XP Also, in "Revelations", since the guy who replaced Doug couldn't do the voice (I guess so.), they got Fred "Hulk/Solomon Grundy/Bane" Tatasciore to overdub his lines... I'm not even joking. Hell, Khary Payton (Who voices Cyborg in "Injustice"/"Teen Titans") was in "Hellworld"... Swear to fucking god, not joking there, hence their quotes.
- May ask, how come Regime Wonder Woman is the one who summoned Pinhead cause she knew what would happen? Well, we know she wants to be Superman's fucktoy and can't seem to get any (Due to him still pining over Lois) and... Well, since she's a total manipulative cunt in "Injustice", she got someone else to summon Pinhead, but didn't know the "Not hands that summon, it's desire summon." rule, hence his intro quote and his various quotes to her... Have i mentioned i hate Regime Wonder Woman and want to see her suffer?
- Course, the other three main Cenobites (Female, Butterball, Chatter) makes cameos during Pinhead's outro pose and his super, along with the Chatterbeast from "Bloodline" appearing in the super too.
- Pinhead is more of a zoning/ranged character.
Injustice Gods Among Us DLC- Pinhead by jc013Watch

"... Shall we begin?", sorry, had to quote Pinhead. XD Out of all the Horror characters in film, Pinhead from "Hellraiser" is actually the one i can see fitting into Injustice the most as... Well, you know how i did the story and all.
Find the usual references!
Find the usual references!
Love the Jesus Christ not quite reference and I almost forgot about your undying hatred towards Regime Wonder Woman
Yes, i mean, they got the "Evil Wonder Woman" part down and she served her purpose and all... But that doesn't make me like her as a villain, way i see her, she's just some manipulative envying cunt.
Not the first time I've seen an Injustice take on him, but I like what you've done especially with direct movie quotes. Had no idea that Khary Peyton was in one of the movies. I've just finished up the first two and will be watching just about tall the rest of them on Netflix soon. Also...I know little of Revelations, but if Doug Bradley and Clive Barker both don't like it then it must have been pretty bad. o.o; I'll still give a look for curiosity's sake though and to put things in comparison with the rest of the series.
Love what you did with Pinhead, even if I also did a guest fighter entry for him.
Say, have you ever seen my Injustice entry for Michael Myers?
Yeah, it was cool.. Best part of my bio?
I guess the punishment for Regime Wonder Woman for having tempted Regime Superman, who only cares about Lois Lane and no one else, into falling for her. Exact similar thing happened to her in Leatherface's ending (in my bio for Leatherface, that is) just right after Leatherface killed Regime Superman.
Eh, true. But here, it made sense, cause with Leatherface... Well, he just wants food and to kill, with Pinhead, there was a reason. But still all the same awesome.

Boris, a 16 pound tabby from Eugene, Oregon, has caught and eaten dozens of song birds over the last nine years.
During the last few years his meow has changed from a gruff kitty to a melodious meow with notes and cadence similar to the Western Meadowlark.
This year Boris has begun to leave fur balls that contain more feathers than fur.
Dr. Emily Stampede Ericksson - veterinarian -- has examined Boris and confirmed the strange meow, curious fur balls, and identified egg shaped scat.
Dr. Ericksson has recommended that Boris be studied in a controlled university research environment.
Has Boris adapted to be more like the birds as a ruse to catch them or has Boris actually genetically changed? Since Boris's notoriety, his primary owner has been in a cat-ownership dispute with their neighbors since he eats at and has the run of two households.
To date no one at the University or elsewhere has been able to get a release document signed to study Boris.
The ownership argument will probably ensure that Boris remains at home(s).
Boris will have none of the falderal and prefers to continue to deplete the meadowlark population aided by his mysterious metamorphosis.

Village lifesavers are a fitting legacy
Arguably, the portable defibrillator is one of mankind's most important inventions, responsible for saving hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of lives throughout the world. It is used to treat certain types of cardiac arrest by delivering a short, electrical shock to restore the heart's normal rhythm.
Fittingly, given the high incidence of heart disease in Northern Ireland, it is an invention which owes its existence to the imagination of Professor Frank Pantridge and colleagues from the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast who first took the technology from the confines of hospital wards to treat patients where they collapsed.
Professor Pantridge, who died in 2004, devoted much of his later life to further developing and refining the technology in pursuit of a dream that a defibrillator would be sited everywhere where people would congregate, from theatres to sports grounds to outdoor festivals. He would be delighted at the imagination shown by the village of Crossgar which has converted a traditional telephone kiosk into the housing for an automated defibrillator.
Anyone with even a basic knowledge of first aid can use the device simply by dialling 999 and following the instructions given to them. The technology has advanced to the stage where the device can do most of the work and deliver the lifesaving electrical charge if that is deemed the appropriate action. Thanks to collaboration between Queen's University, the local GP and the Red Cross, many local people are being trained in first aid and the use of the equipment.
This is a project which should be rolled out across the province. Statistics show that only one in 10 people who suffer a heart attack outside hospital survive. That mortality rate could be lessened if more defibrillators were sited strategically and more people trained in their use. While the technology is not appropriate for all cases, it can be a lifesaver in the right circumstances. Professor Pantridge and his colleagues never really got the acclaim their pioneering work deserved. To see this technology made even more widely available would be a fitting legacy.

OAKLAND — It won't be hospital food for Sasha Fleischman this holiday, but rather a quiet Thanksgiving meal with family members at their Oakland home.
Fleischman, 18, was wearing a skirt and asleep in a rear seat of an AC Transit bus riding home to Oakland on Nov. 4 when a 16-year Oakland High School student took out a lighter and lit Fleischman's skirt on fire, police said. Fleischman, a student at Maybeck High School in Berkeley, was taken to the Bothin Burn Center at Saint Francis Memorial Hospital in San Francisco with second and third-degree burns to the legs.
The teen was released from the hospital Wednesday, just in time for the holiday, Sasha's father said.
The teen, who often dresses in a skirt, identifies as agender and prefers that people use the pronouns "they' and "their" rather than "he" or "she".
The teen suspected of lighting the fire has been charged as an adult with felony aggravated mayhem and felony assault as well as hate crime clauses and is due back in court on Dec. 20.
On Nov. 14, hundreds of people marched along the route taken by the bus the teen was riding to show their support of Fleischman.
The teen suspected in the attack told a police investigator he committed the crime because he is "homophobic," but his attorney, William DuBois, said his client is "very remorseful" about the incident and didn't intend to seriously harm Fleischman.

Walk up MidzorThe hike is not at atll technical but good for anyone who wants general fitness in preparation for bigger mountains. The route from the Bebin Zub takes in about 4-5 good hills on a very clear route. It took me at an easy pace 2 hours to the top in clear conditions and 1h 30 to come back.
The views are beautiful from the top. I can imagine in winter it can be very cold since we found it to be around +5 centigrade and it's now May.

Kazakhstan joined with Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine at the Commonwealth of Independent States summit in Yalta, Ukraine, in September 2003 to create the Common Economic Space, an integration mechanism for the four strongest economies in the CIS. The concept had been proposed by Kazakh Pres. Nursultan Nazarbayev in the early 1990s, and its realization was a tribute to Kazakhstan's success in the transition to a modern market economy. The U.S. had already announced in June that aid to Kazakhstan would be reduced because of the country's economic achievements, and Kazakhstan was generally acknowledged to be the richest state in Central Asia because of its oil and mineral wealth. Economics Minister Kairat Kelimbetov warned the Cabinet of Ministers in June, however, that significant sections of the population—pensioners, the unemployed, and the handicapped—were not benefiting from the improvement in the economy.
Prime Minister Imangali Tasmagambetov resigned on June 11 after losing a struggle with Parliament over a new land code that introduced private ownership of agricultural land. Many politicians argued that the terms of the code meant that only the wealthy would be able to buy land. The code was finally adopted by Parliament in late June after the president himself had made corrections to the draft. The new prime minister, Daniyal Akhmetov, presented an action plan at the end of June that was intended to triple gross domestic product by 2015; he also promised to raise taxes on the oil and gas industries and then had to reassure foreign investors that existing contracts in these industries would not be altered.
The domestic opposition and the international community complained that Kazakhstan's ruling elite was becoming increasingly authoritarian. The independent media were sharply critical of a draft media law that it said would attempt to curb the reporting of stories that upset the government, such as the so-called Kazakhgate affair, in which American businessmen were accused of having paid bribes to high-ranking Kazakh government officials.
The government also came under international criticism over the sentencing of independent journalist Sergey Duvanov in January to three and a half years in prison on a rape charge that the opposition insisted was fabricated in retaliation for his stories about high-level corruption. In February the European Parliament adopted a resolution expressing concern over the course of democratic reform and the situation of the independent media in Kazakhstan that worried the government and inspired the opposition.

Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong has claimed his side are in a "do or die" situation this week as they prepare for a Premier League crunch clash against Tottenham and the FA Cup final against Stoke City.
The 26-year-old's rallying call comes after Roberto Mancini's side were beaten 2-1 by Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday, leaving them still needing a point from their remaining two games to secure Champions League qualification for next season.
The setback could not have come at a worse time, with City heading into perhaps the most important week in the club's recent history.
Roberto Mancini's side are able to secure fourth place by avoiding defeat at home to Spurs on Tuesday evening, before having the opportunity to end the club's 35-year wait for a major trophy in Saturday's FA Cup final against Stoke.
The significance of the next seven days is certainly not lost on De Jong, who has warned his side that they cannot afford a repeat of their tame performance against Everton if they are to end their season on a high.
"This is a very important week for the club, the players and the fans. This is do or die for Manchester City," he told reporters.
"Fourth place is in reach and everything is in our hands. We just have to win that game.
"We then have a chance to be FA Cup winners - but we have to learn from this game at Everton.
"We were sloppy in our passing, and lost every second ball. They came out with their long balls, set pieces and that is their main danger.
"It is not like they out footballed us because we dominated them when it was about passing on the pitch. But sometimes you have got to grind through, and now we just have to get our heads clear again."

Michael McKillop added another title to his growing collection when he completed the middle distance double at the European IPC Athletics Championships in Swansea.
The St Malachy's athlete already champion over 800 metres went straight to the front of the 1500 as the gun was fired.
He produced laps of 74 and 70 seconds before opening out on the third circuit with 63 to cross the line on his own in 4:16.73.
Louis Radius, of France, was a distant second with Dean Miller of Team GB third.
Michael is now double champion at Paralympic, World and European level.
Meanwhile, Sam Herron and Diane Wilson came out on top of the Slieve Bearnagh Mountain Race which included the eighth round of the NIMRA Championship.
The event which covered a varied course over the three peaks of Meelbeg, Bearnagh and Meelmore was expected to be hotly contested and did not disappoint.
From the start three men moved away from the rest with Herron, from Mourne Runners, William McKee and David Steele quickly on their own.
Herron was looking the most aggressive and made the decisive break on the climb up Bearnagh eventually coming home 42 seconds before McKee who just edged out Steele to clinch runner up spot.
Diane Wilson also led from the gun and in spite of a fall at one stage fought off the determined challenge of Catherine O'Connor. Anne Sandford came third.

SIR – How might a resident of Looe, St Ives or even Lanhydrock have a distinctive culture that is different from mine? Surely we read the same newspapers, watch the same television and most importantly, speak the same recognisable form of English?
To be really distinct, the Cornish language needs to be your first language, and this ancient language is now spoken by a very few enthusiasts. I would encourage those Cornish people who crave distinction to learn their language first.

Teachers under attack
SIR – There is indeed a "wearisome predictability" in the annual round of teachers' union conferences, but this is not adequately described as "playing politics".
It began with politicians playing teachers when the Education Reform Act became law in 1988. The National Curriculum, coupled with the later introduction of Sats, took much professional autonomy away from teachers and gave the country the impression that political control was the way to run a successful education system.
The many subsequent "adjustments" to both the National Curriculum and the examination system since then, by politicians of all parties, have removed any sense that teachers have constructive ideas on how to run a school.
Teachers meanwhile are overwhelmed with paperwork in attempting to prove to politicians that they are doing the right thing. Ofsted is simply a government enforcer, where once the inspection of schools was of the greatest support to teachers.
The Education Reform Act provided for governing bodies rather than local education authorities to manage schools. Anybody with the available time could apply. The ensuing mixture of well-meaning, supportive parents overwhelmed with government paperwork and people of independent means with a sociopolitical agenda has meant death to the autonomy that served our schools so well for decades.
As we are seeing in Birmingham, this can have a sometimes dangerous effect.
I strongly dislike the posturing of the annual teachers' conferences. But I despair at the way teaching has been altered by political domination. Teaching is increasingly carried out by people who have first of all to defend themselves from political interference. It is not surprising that they look to political means to redress the balance.

Irish crème de la crème
SIR – You added "and Irish" to your list of "20 best British novels of all time". Was this on the basis of the chosen novelists' nationalities?
James Joyce rejected Irish nationality on several occasions. Living in Paris in 1930, he wrote to his son Giorgio: "I had to renew my passport. The clerk told me he had orders to send people like me to the Irish delegation. But I insisted instead, and got a British one."
A decade later, the Joyces were offered Irish passports, which would have enabled them to leave Nazi-occupied France more easily if needed. Again the offer was declined, and Joyce clung doggedly to his British passport, despite the increased risk.
Flann O'Brien's hometown of Strabane is in the United Kingdom, and Dublin-born Iris Murdoch moved to London when only a few weeks old. On your list, only John Banville is unequivocally Irish.

Painting by numbers
SIR – Michael Hanlon quotes Max Tegmark, the cosmologist, as saying that because we use mathematics to describe the world, the world is just mathematical. This makes as much sense as saying that, because a painter can depict the world, the world is just a blob of paint.
If "the philosopher-kings of the 21st century are unafraid to speculate on the wildest shores of physics", it is because they know they cannot be proved wrong.

SIR – Those who could not hear the BBC adaptation of Jamaica Inn should read the book. Daphne Du Maurier's original is quite different and infinitely better.
Robert Walford
Upavon, Wiltshire
SIR – Many television dramas now feature dim lighting and unclear diction, which is overlaid with "dramatic" music. The problem is compounded by the fact that modern large-screen televisions have only small speakers, tucked away (out of sight and earshot) on the back of the sets.
Judy Wienholdt
Over Peover, Cheshire
SIR – The opening scene showed a field that had been partly ploughed by a large, modern, six- or eight-furrow plough. There were two women working the field, one of whom was pushing a 1930s wheeled hoe along a furrow eight inches deep, the second dropping seeds into the furrow behind the first. All total nonsense.
Bob Lomas
Horsham, West Sussex
SIR – Clearly audible in the second part of Jamaica Inn were the Rev Francis Davey and his congregation singing The King of Love my Shepherd Is.
How advanced the parish of Altarnun must have been in 1820: the writer of the verses, Sir Henry Baker, was not born until the following year, and the Rev John Bacchus Dykes, composer of the tune, two years later in 1823.
Rev I G Brooks
SIR – It is clear that Jamaica Inn was the product of W1A.
Christopher Pratt
Dorking, Surrey
SIR – Actually, I thoroughly enjoyed Jamaica Inn. It was gripping. The mental torment and reality of smuggling were powerfully portrayed, as were the relationships between the characters. I couldn't wait for each part to be broadcast. Shame it has had so much bad press. And, yes, I heard it the same way as everyone.

A CNN meteorologist reporting on Hurricane Katrina has created a storm of his own, this one centered in the blogosphere.
A video clip is blowing fiercely around the Web of an apparently sleep-deprived Chad Myers losing it with Daybreak anchor Carol Costello during a live broadcast at 4:32 a.m. Monday. Costello interrupts Myers' jargon-heavy weather report asking for a translation and saying: "I don't know what that means." Myers literally throws his paper down in a bit of a fit and says: "Well, if you would let me talk..."
Bloggers pointed to another Katrina broadcast blooper in which Fox News anchor Shepard Smith asks a man walking his dogs on a New Orleans street why he was still hanging around Sunday despite the forecast. The man uses an expletive in his answer and Smith has to recover. Ah, the beauty (or ugliness) of 24-hour live news cycle.
Blog community response:
"Frankly I'm taking Chad's side, myself. I hate being interrupted, too ."
"By the way, I only found out about this because 'Chad Myers' was the number one search on Technorati. Gotta love it."
--To Wish for Impossible Things
"For those of you who've been taking part in the ongoing (site) office pool over which CNN personality would be the first to follow the bold example of Novakula and have an on-air breakdown, I'm pleased to announce that we have a winner...the winner of the CNN On-Air Breakdown is actually a bit player, Weatherman Chad Myers... It's both hilarious and sad, like the suicide of a clown. "

Chevrolet & Bollywood
Chevrolet cars have had a very long and close relationship with Bollywood. Kishore Kumar singing about giving his love an Impala `Caron mein ek car chuni hai, Car chuni hai Impala, Impala mein tujhe bithakar, Le jaayega dilwala' in the song 'Meri Lottery Lagne Wali Hai' from the 1970 movie 'Holi Ayee Re' - captures this relationship perfectly.
The Impala was a favourite amongst filmmakers' at that time, especially to showcase the rich. The opening scenes of the movie 'Sagai' is entirely devoted to a red convertible 1959 Chevrolet Impala with its huge batwings as glamorous as the hero. The same movie sees the bride's father giving his to-be son-in-law the keys to another 1959 Impala as an engagement gift. Amitabh Bachchan drives his 1960 Chevrolet Impala Convertible in a scene from the movie 'Trishul'.
The Impala's popularity with the Indian film world and the rich and famous, was the highlight of Chevrolet at the time. The air ducts, the massive bat wings and tear-drop tail-lights, all screaming out style and fashion.
The Impala wasn't the only Chevrolet car to be showcased on the silver screen. The most sought after Chevrolet body styles in Bollywood were the convertibles, the two-door Bel Air, the four-door pillar less Bel Air, and the Bel Air station-wagon, called the Nomad. In the 1971 blockbuster, 'Hathi Mere Sathi', the rich heroine Tanuja's 1958 Chevrolet gets a little help from the poor hero, Rajesh Khanna and his elephant when her car gets stranded on the highway.
Dev Anand takes his heroine Waheeda Rehman for a short joy ride in his Chevrolet Tourer BA Series, 1931, in the classic 1965 film, Guide, which eventually sees the actress break into the song 'Aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hai'. The 1967 movie, 'Jewel Thief' had Tanuja driving a Chevrolet Bel Air 1955, along with Dev Anand. 1962's China Town, Shammi Kapoor and Shakila showcase their love for each other in a Chevrolet convertible. The 1975 movie, 'Khel Khel Me', Neetu Singh and Rakesh Roshan are seen driving the Chevrolet Camaro in the song 'Sapna Mera Toot Gaya'. On a much recent note, 'Shararat', the 2003 Abhishek Bachchan starrer sees him drive an Impala SS.
These are just few of the iconic films starring Chevrolet cars. This relationship between Chevrolet and Bollywood has been a long and strong one, one that continues till this day. And surely for a long time ahead.

electronic predator call
Hey there, Ive been thinking about doing some predator hunting , does anyone have an electronic call that they really like and have had good results with ? I want to help out with a local coyote problem in particular ! Any advice would be appreciated.................. LOUD

Make sure they're legal in your state. Wisconsin doesn't allow them (because the DNR has no clue as to what predator hunting really is)...

Everyone has good things to say about foxpro's we have a firestorm on the way. I'll make sure and let you know how it performs.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me."

Foxpro makes great calls and their customer service is supposedly top notch. I've definitely enjoyed the time I've spent behind Foxpro calls

While I don't have anything against a Foxpro, my "fun money" budget doesn't exist! I went with the Primose Power Dogg for $70. I don't have as many calls as a Foxpro but the quality is great. There was some problems with the remote range when first I purchased the call, but Primos replaced the complete unit and I haven't had any trouble since. The new Turbo Dogg they just come out with has a new look, the ability to add up to 500 calls and a few other neat features for $139. I have read a review where one customer said he had some trouble with his remote communicating with the base unit, but the other reviews on some of the predator forums have been good. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

I've also got that older version of the Primos Power Dog. I've called up some coyotes and bobcats with it, but when you crank it all the way up it sounds sort of 'tinny'. It would be better to have more call choices, like the new Power Dog and the Foxpro. I think, and I may be wrong, that by now the same sounds being played over and over and over have maybe alerted the coyotes rather than attracted them. I parked the Power Dog during deer season, and I'll try it out again in a couple of days. I'd rather have the Foxpro, but that's a lot more money. Before I spend that kind of money I'll spend more time trying to use the mouth calls (which I should be doing anyway). Based on actual performance, my best coyote call is a 3 day old dead pig. That really brings em in when the wind is right. And it doesn't need batteries.

I've been trying mouth calls and am trying to learn how to use them properly. But my father is the one that ponied up and spent the 360 on the foxpro. I could never do that, i have too many gun related projects that need finishing. But in a sense it will pay for itself in the amount of live stock it's going to help save on the levee.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me."

You can make a very nice e- caller with a cheap mp3 player, a loud horn, and a battery operated amplifier.
www.varmintal.com has all the destructions.
I made one. Works beautifully.
Mouth calls work much better than any e-caller.

I made the Varmint al caller and it works. Foxpro gets good comments but, while I an not poor it seems too pricey. I also have a tape caller that I found on clearance, it works also, but is bulky but works. I plan on making my own tapes at some point.
Mouth blown calls can be tricky to find over the counter, but for the price of a foxpro you can buy a gazillion mouth calls. I have had the best luck with mouth blown calls.
But if I found a duffle bag full of money, I would get the foxpro, I've heard nothing but good things.
I'll admit, a video came with a couple of primos calls, and I watched it. In some of the example hunts , they used the primos electronic caller and it seemed to work pretty good.

I have an old Johnny Stewart electronic caller and it served me well. It's a cassette player, the down side to it is it's heavy and I can't find any good quality tapes for it anymore.
I purchased a Foxpro It's a lot lighter and works very well.
That being said I rely more on mouth blown calls.
Sometimes I use both. I'll start calling with a mouth blown call and use the Foxpro to coax them in closer and divert their attention away from my position.

Obsidian Entertainment working on Wheel of Time
Not sure if anyone has posted this. If so, I've missed it. According to Norwegian gaming site gamer.no, Obsidian is currently working with Red Eagle (who secured the rights to do Wheel of Time games) on an RPG set in the Wheel of Time universe.
The article is here:
Hardly any information is known yet, other than the fact that Red Eagle Entertainment chose Obsidian due to their ability to mix superior story telling with great RPG elements and mechanics.
Sounds very interesting!
Well I hope it's a lot better than the other Wheel of Time game that was made.
I liked the first game too! Very atmospheric, great music … one of the better soundtracks I know. Those two things are often all I need in games to be happy. ^^
I often thought the descriptions on combat and magic in WoT could be a great basis to try some new mechanics in a RPG.
WoT describes these combat stances with all those funky names, that Rand learns this could be a great basis for a tactical combat system where you need to learn these stances or figures, and match them to your opponent - combining elements of TB and card based combat systems.
The way "weaving" magic is described could also provide interesting ideas to handle magic in terms of creating or researching patterns or even a sort or real time weaving or puzzle solving (taking some cues from Arx Fatalis maybe) which would allow experimenting with effects instead of just simply learning fixed spells.
Oh well, daydreaming.
Hopefully Obsidian does something cool with the setting.
What I'm really hopeful for is a character who pulls her braid 5000 times a game, like Nanaeve or whatever her name was did in the books. Those books have SO much repetition it was almost painful to read. The sad thing is, that when something new actually happened it was almost always very interesting. The guy milked a series that could have been finished in 4 or 5 books into 12, for the money. It's poetic justice that he died before finishing it.
Still, Obsidian won't be able to milk the game as much as Jordan did the books so it should be fun. Boiling down the books into the essences that made them interesting will be a good challenge.
Ack! Good description on the braid pulling, not to mention the tea-drinking, meditating and chatting…I really grew to hate Wheel of Time over the course of the first nine(?) books—but I did love the concepts and the setting, and there were some memorable characters as well.
There's some discussion of this over at the Obsidian forums, though nothing official. The speculation in the thread is that Obsidian will have a purely secondary support role in the development with the Red Eagle people using/directing their resources. They also talk about 'games' not game, so who knows at this point.
Here's the pertinent thread:
I didn't mind the repetition. I found the first book mediocre because it reminded me too much of LotR, but the others I enjoyed a lot for their magic, and like magerette said, concepts and setting. That reminds me that I should go and get the final book.
I probably should put this on the front page. Thanks for the heads-up, Maylander.
Obsidian Entertainment - Partners with Red Eagle on new Wheel of Time series
Red Eagle Games, who have the rights to produce games and films from Robert Jordan's fantasy novel series The Wheel of Time, have selected Obsidian Entertainment to partner with them on the first games for PC, XBox 360 and PS3. Here's an excerpt from the press announcement, via Blues News:
More information.
Now, this could be pretty good…they have alot of source material to use.
This sounds very promising…:cool:
Yes this is great news! Can't wait to hear more details!
Damn, I hope that this turns out better than the las WoT game I played.
It was a loooong time ago that I read those books but seem to recall that i liked them. It seems like obsidian are getting better and better projects. I really hope this and FO:NV deliver the goods and so that they can develop new IP's and pick only the most interesting worlds for their games.
Guess that's Obsidian booked for the next ten (or a hundred) years.
From the press release it sounds like Obsidian might just be providing tech/know-how. But it's not clear, much like the genre of games isn't clear.
But more work for Obsidian = good.
Didn't they make a shooter game based on this a long, long time ago? Vaguely remember playing a demo.

VIENNA, July 31 (Reuters) - Austrian engineering group Andritz signed a letter of intent to supply all equipment for Brazilian eucalyptus pulp maker Fibria's Horizonte mill, which it said was set to become one of the largest of its kind worldwide.
Andritz said on Fridya the order value would not be disclosed, adding that comparable orders are typically worth around 600 million euros ($657 million).
The new production line will add an annual capacity of 1.75 tons to Fibria's plants in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, bringing the site's total capacity to 3 million tonnes.
The contract is expected to be finalised in the third quarter of this year while production should start in the fourth quarter of 2017, Andritz said. ($1 = 0.9130 euros) (Reporting By Shadia Nasralla; Editing by Georgina Prodhan)

Keep your people safe
Mining, and in particular underground mining is risky business.
To ensure the highest level of safety on site, GPS tracking and monitoring is a must and BIGmate is the premium Australian provider of this technology.
BIGmate gives you the capability to monitor equipment remotely, no matter how far flung it is, eliminating the need to send staff to dangerous areas to physically carry out status checks.
With BIGmate you can also prevent an accident before it happens by tracking the movement of vehicles on your site and identifying areas where traffic or driver behaviour improvements need to be made.
This is just the tip of the iceberg and what it all boils down to is without GPS tracking technology you're flying blind when it comes to assuring the highest safety standards. Harness the power of BIGmate and ensure the highest safety standards for your site and your people.
Be cost competitive
The mining industry experiences peaks and downturns that swing with the tide of commodity pricing. In periods of decline, cost cutting becomes the highest priority with many companies living and dying on how competitive they can be. All mining companies should have GPS technology implemented across their sites to ensure asset utilisation and maintenance schedules are not only running effectively but are tightened to the nth degree. GPS tracking and condition monitoring can be put into action quickly and cheaply and it's a small price to pay to ensure the thinnest possible operational margins.
You don't know what you're missing!
There are a myriad of ways mobile assets can go missing from mine sites – stealing, by accident or they can simply disappear for no reason at all. If you're not using BIGmate GPS tracking technology, you don't know what you're missing – literally!
Losing tools and equipment should not be considered a normal part of everyday – these items cost money to replace and once they are there's no guarantee it won't happen again. This can be easily and cost-effectively avoided by implementing BIGmate's GPS technology to track and monitor your assets.
If it's valuable, you should be tracking it
Have you ever had an expensive and assumed stationary asset simply grow legs and walk off site? It could have been easily avoided and for only a fraction of the cost of the original asset.
With a BIGmate GPS tracking device installed onto expensive items such as generators and compressors you can ensure you'll never lose them again. It's really that easy.
Spartan Mining Group has been using the BIGmate GPS system in all facets of their operations in the Bowen Basin since 2012.
BIGmate tracking devices have been installed in company cars, fitters' utilities, crew buses, trucks, courier vans and stationary plant. The intel that is readily available from the tracking software has provided invaluable knowledge on vehicle location and mileage for servicing purposes.
Managers within Spartan Mining Group's transport function use geofences to define the boundaries of all the mine sites where the company delivers underground machinery and other products. This capability provides information on the times that trucks enter and exit various mine sites, to ensure optimum levels of productivity and service delivery.
If there is a query from a client as to how far away a delivery is, the company can pinpoint exact vehicle locations to provide a deeper level of service and keep customers updated and happy. On longer interstate runs, BIGmate has again assisted in providing the location of prime movers as well as monitoring speed levels.
Historically, Spartan Mining Group has also used BIGmate GPS technology to locate a crew bus that went missing in Queensland, and to monitor a stationary compressor located in a remote area of a Bowen Basin mine site. The compressor was being used to supply air underground but the hours of use, and thereby service intervals were very hard to keep track of due to its location. With a BIGmate GPS device installed, staff no longer had to physically visit the machine just to check the hours of use. Just a few more examples of BIGmate's endless ability to create multiple time and cost savings for our customers.

With a majority of Americans now consistently supporting marriage equality, Sen. Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, claims the next step of the "gay agenda" will be to charge pastors with hate speech for preaching from the Bible, reports RightWingWatch.
"If you look at other nations that have gone down the road towards gay marriage, that's the next step of where it gets enforced," Cruz told David Brody during an interview aired on the Christian Broadcasting Network Friday. "It gets enforced against Christian pastors who decline to perform gay marriages, who speak out and preach biblical truths on marriage, that has been defined elsewhere as hate speech, as inconsistent with the enlightened view of government. I think there is no doubt that the advocates who are driving this effort in the United States want to see us end up in that same place."
In reality, religious officials are protected from arrest — even if they refuse to perform a gay or lesbian wedding — by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion. But that fact hasn't stopped Cruz from spreading fear among his base with outright lies.
"Everywhere I go people are afraid for the future of our country;" Cruz told Brody. "I think we're at the edge of a precipice. If we keep going down this path, we're risking losing our nation; we're risking losing the incredible oasis of liberty."

Disney is working it's magic again! On November 2, 2012, new movie "Wreck-It Ralph" will be released in movie theaters! Just wait until you hear about "where" the movie takes place—totally cool!
Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore (TV's "The Simpsons," "Futurama") take moviegoers on a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping journey in "Wreck-It Ralph." Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly, "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby," "Step Brothers") is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix (voice of Jack McBrayer, "30 Rock"), the "good guy" star of their game who always gets to save the day. But after decades doing the same thing and seeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides he's tired of playing the role of a bad guy. He takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade through every generation of video games to prove he's got what it takes to be a hero.
On his quest, he meets the tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch, TV's "Glee") from the first-person action game Hero's Duty. But it's the feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman, "The Sarah Silverman Program") from the candy-coated cart racing game, Sugar Rush, whose world is threatened when Ralph accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens the entire arcade. Will Ralph realize his dream and save the day before it's too late?
"Wreck-It Ralph" crashes onto the big screen on November 2, 2012, in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.
Stay up to date on all the latest by "liking" "Wreck-It Ralph" on Facebook!

[[caption-width-right:300:Suit up.]]
''Disney Universe'' is a 2011 video game from Disney Interactive, released for [=PS3=], 360 and Wii. Players take control of small avatar-like figures (a la ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet'') as they take on the role of beta-testers for a Creator/{{Disney}} online community. However, an evil hacker named Hex is determined to destroy this new game, so the players, dressed in costumes based on popular Disney characters, including Creator/{{Pixar}} characters, team up and battle one another to defeat Hex and save the Disney Universe.
!! This game provides examples of:
* AIIsACrapshoot: Hex made the game like this
* AdvancingWallOfDoom: Cave of Wonders 3
* AllThereInTheManual: The names of individual stages are only mention in the unlockable viewer area.
* AmbiguousEnding: Hex is never really defeated.
* AutoScrollingLevel: Door Factory 3
* BigBad: Hex
* ButtMonkey: While not being killed off by you, the Fodder seem to exist to serve as sporting equipment for Brutes.
* CameraScrew: Decent for the majority of the game, but the second level of Queen Anne's Revenge would be a whole lot easier if you could actually see your character.
%%* CompetitiveBalance: Among the mini-bosses.
* CutsceneIncompetence: The Brutes and Fodder are exceptionally goofy and stupid during the intro scenes.
* TheCracker: Hex.
* DeathIsCheap: You only lose gold.
* DemonicPossession: Though not a demon, Hex somehow can take over VIC and speak through him turning VIC Dark red and sharper-looking.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Several stage names, such as "Laser Corridor" and "Toxic Gas".
* FakeLongevity: You have to replay each stage twice to unlock every costume.
* FragileSpeedster: Bulldogs, which are fast, but can't take much of a pounding.
* GlassCannon: Spawners are powerful, but can't take the number of hits as others.
* GameBreakingBug: There are a few spots where your water vehicle can get stuck on a rock, unable to move, forcing you to restart the level.
* GiantMook: Mini-bosses, especially Brutes.
* {{Griefer}}: Hex likes to offer helpful advice to the player on how to be one, and has some mannerisms of the stereotype (ie, a {{Troll}} who enjoys spreading chaos for his amusement and generally being a jerk).
* GuideDangIt: Not for the majority puzzle solutions, but the game neglects to tell you important details on how to use some of the vehicle. There are other cases where, after opening the exit gate, the game puts in a secret challenge back at the beginning of the stage, but neglects to tell you.
* HardLevelsEasyBosses: Any of the four types of mini-bosses are harder than the end-of-area bosses, and you usually have to fight several of them in any given level.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: The Tool Mod power-up lets you kill anything in one hit.
* InsurmountableWaistHeightFence: A few edges are marked off by low rocks or thinly spread trees.
* InvisibleWall: In a few places.

* MightyGlacier: Rotos are incredibly powerful but the slowest of the bunch.
* MookMaker: Spawners can throw Fodder at you.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Hex
* NeverSayDie: Jusitified since the game takes place in a VR realm.
* OneHundredPercentCompletion: You have to earn gold trophies in all stages and unlock and power up 45 costumes.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: As a zombie you can survive underwater, but can't jump.
* RedShirtArmy: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] - their name is "Fodder".
* SceneryPorn: The pans across the stage at the beginning of each area.
* SequelHook: The ending dialogue from Hex before the "It's a Small World" remix simply screams this.
* ShoutOut: At least one trailer showed a player attacking a chest using a key like a [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Keyblade]].
* StockVideoGamePuzzle:
** LockAndKeyPuzzle: Everywhere, exit doors must be unlocked before going through.
** MagicalMysteryDoors: Monster Training
** TrickShotPuzzle: Often the target is across a gap or simply to far away for you to walk a time bomb over, so you have to throw from a distance.
** TwoKeyedLock: Several in multiplayer, but in single it gives you a few seconds to get to the other switch.
* SuspiciousVideogameGenerosity: Power-up cubes generally appear near mini-bosses.
* TakenForGranite: The effect of the Medusa power-up.
* TennisBoss: Spawners are stunned by bouncing fireballs back at them.
* {{Troll}}: Hex. How else can you describe someone who decides to torment you as a parting shot by [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment singing a rock version of It's A Small World After All at you?]]
* UndergroundMonkey: There are only six types enemies, but they change costumes to match the world.
* VideoGameSettings:
** BleakLevel: Elephant Graveyard
** BossOnlyLevel: Several, mostly at the very end of a world.

The GlobalFlyer pilot faced a nailbiting few hours yesterday when engineers discovered that 2,600lbs of fuel had vanished some time during the first three-and-a-half hours of the 23,000-mile journey.
The project director, Paul Moore, told the media gathered at mission control yesterday that Mr Fossett did not have enough fuel to get back to the airfield he took off from in Salina, Kansas, on Monday unless he could harness an average tail wind of 68mph, so GlobalFlyer was "at the mercy of the winds". The pilot himself had acknowledged that the fuel loss was a "huge setback".
However strong tail winds of up to 130 knots (150mph) as Mr Fossett headed east over the Pacific helped put the record for flying nonstop and solo around the world back within his grasp.
"The jet stream has been extraordinary," Mr Fossett told a press conference today on a live linkup from his plane. "I have every hope of landing in Salina tomorrow," he said.
The GlobalFlyer jet plane was heading for the west coast of the US today. By 0400 GMT today GlobalFlyer had travelled 18,676 miles and was flying at just over 45,000ft some 400 miles north of Honolulu, Hawaii. Although the tail winds are expected to drop as the plane turns to the north-east, it appears that Mr Fossett has gained enough distance to reach his destination.
"Steve is very firmly setting his sights on Salina. We expect him in some around midday or early afternoon," Mr Moore said.
"As things stand we expect with the current winds and fuel burn that he will get home with some fuel to spare."
Mr Moore said one of the greatest remaining risks was Mr Fossett's growing fatigue as he neared the end of the 80-hour journey and both he and the plane were reached the limits of their endurance.
"Steve has now been flying for over 48 hours and you can feel and hear the increased tiredness and strain in his voice," he said.
However mission control director Kevin Stass said that although Mr Fossett was fatigued, he had not suffered from any hallucinations. "He hasn't seen any spaceships," Mr Stass said.
Mr Fossett said he had been staving off exhaustion by taking naps of one to three minutes "to try to refresh me a bit", but admitted he was feeling tired.
The official GlobalFlyer website has proved a success, with 76m hits recorded in the last 24 hours, a figure that is expected to be topped on the final day of the record attempt. Mr Fossett said: "It's great to think of all those people out there around the globe sharing this adventure with me."
Meanwhile the cause of the earlier fuel leak remains a mystery.
Jon Karkow, the chief engineer of GlobalFlyer designers Scaled Composites, said he had so far failed to pin down why such a large amount of fuel had simply disappeared, but his calculations showed that the loss happened early on in the flight and had then stopped.
"We have many ideas on the table but none seems more likely than the others," Mr Karkow said.
The Virgin Atlantic chairman and Mr Fossett's friend, Sir Richard Branson, spent $1.5m getting GlobalFlyer designed and built. The jet plane is made of strong but lightweight materials to cope with the huge fuel payload that makes up 86% of its total weight of 22,066lbs, and to withstand the buffeting of the jet stream that is helping to power it around the globe.
Its twin-tailed design features a 114ft wingspan but a tiny central cockpit over just over 7ft into which Mr Fossett is crammed. He has been urinating into bottles and dining only on diet chocolate milkshakes while trying to stay alert enough to pilot the plane at an altitude of up to 51,000ft.
Scaled Composites, the US company that built GlobalFlyer, is also working on SpaceShipOne, the craft in which Sir Richard hopes one day to become the first tourist to travel into space.
The Virgin Atlantic chairman, however, said he hoped that the technology pioneered by Scaled Composites and incorporated into the GlobalFlyer design could help airliners to become more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly in the future.
The first solo round-the-world trip, a seven-day, multi-stop voyage, was undertaken by Wiley Post in 1933. The first nonstop global flight without refuelling was made in 1986 by Jeana Yeager and Dick Rutan, the brother of the GlobalFlyer designer.

MTV caught up with Angela Sarafyan, who plays Tia, and she only had great things to say about her set experience and castmates. In the photo left is Lexiconer Adonis' version of what she might look like as a red-eyed vampire. According to MTV
"I went on-set and met Bill Condon and he is truly such a great, great person," she said. "I'm honestly humbled by the fact that he is kind and generous and, with the enormity of this film, has been so graceful about giving every actor their time. He immediately put me on a great starting point. We were all in this incredible Egyptian casbah in Baton Rouge [back in November] and it was quite magnificent. It was quite easy. It's not as pressure-filled as you'd think. It felt like an independent project where everyone's having a nice time, no one's pressured. It's been that way almost every day that we've worked on this."
Check out the full report on MTV.

UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- Perhaps there was too much rum in the Christmas grog this year, because the Maple Leafs looked extremely groggy at times last night at the Nassau County Coliseum.
Following arguably their worst performance of the season -- an 8-2 loss to the Dallas Stars last Tuesday at the Air Canada Centre -- the Leafs returned from the Christmas break and suffered perhaps their worst loss of the year, a 4-1 defeat at the hands of the New York Islanders, a team that hadn't won in 10 games.
There were any number of reasons for the loss. Goalie Vesa Toskala put his team behind the 8-ball, on New York's second shot of the game, when he deflected a high centring pass by Kyle Okposo into his own net for a 1-0 Islanders lead.
It's hard to get on a roll when your starting goaltender allows such questionable goals, although, in Toskala's defence, the final three New York tallies last night came via the deflection or the rebound.
"It's not a good goal to give up, but I don't think it affected the rest of the game," head coach Ron Wilson said of Okposo's opener. "We weren't very good in the first 10 minutes. In the second 10 minutes of the first period, we started to play our game and generally throughout most of the second period. But, when that power play didn't click early in the third period, it just seemed like all the air went out of our balloon."
Islanders goalie Rick DiPietro, meanwhile, returned from a long injury layoff and was, if not spectacular, solid enough that the 15,173 on hand -- starved for anything resembling a win -- enthusiastically began chanting "DP! DP!"
There were other problems, too. The Leafs failed to click on four power-play chances, and scrambled madly about at times in their own end.
"We were sloppy and we turned the puck over too much, but we did have chances and could have taken control in the second if we had scored on the power play and had gotten a lead," centre Matt Stajan said.
"It's lot easier to play with the lead, especially in a situation like this where there is bad ice and both teams are coming off a short layoff."
Veteran winger Bill Guerin scored two for the Islanders, including the winner in the second period, giving him 400 in his long NHL career.
"That's a tremendous milestone. Billy is a great guy and he's done a lot for the game," said Wilson, who has coached Guerin on Team USA. "He's played hard for a long, long time. He's one of my favourite people in the game."
Defenceman Freddy Meyer scored the other for New York while Lee Stempniak's first-period goal tied it 1-1. The struggling Leafs winger, with just one goal in his previous 14 games, backhanded a rebound past DiPietro on a point shot from Jaime Sifers.
Wilson, in an obvious attempt to get Stempniak going, gave him some additional power-play time last night.
The Leafs, meanwhile, now have scored just three goals in their past two games -- this, after scoring 18 in the previous three -- which says a much about the inexperience of this club.

Editorial: Our turn, finally
Many people may be unaware that Pierce County and the rest of the state votes in a presidential primary Tuesday, Feb. 19.
With all the early primaries and many candidates dropping out, it's easy to overlook that Wisconsinites finally get a chance to weigh in on that date. Polls here will be open all day.
The nation's front-loaded primary system is very flawed. With so many states leapfrogging to earlier and earlier primary dates, the so-called later ones--like Wisconsin--become almost irrelevant.
Why should Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada have the right to influence when a Bill Richardson or a Fred Thompson (or a Tommy Thompson) steps down? This absurdly long presidential primary race should be compressed into two or three regional primaries. That way, all voters get a fair shot at deciding the outcome leading to the November vote for president.
Wisconsin and Pierce County may catch a break this year because, while some candidates have already dropped out, neither party has found a clear front runner. This could mean that the Feb. 19 vote for both Republican and Democrat presidential candidates will still count for something.
We must also remind local voters the Feb. 19 primary is more than just voting for president. There are races in the River Falls area to reduce the slate of candidates. A primary will be held for school board candidates competing for two open seats and for District 6 Pierce County Supervisor.
The newspaper will furnish coverage of primary candidates so voters can make informed choices when voting Feb. 19. Until then, let's hope the surviving presidential candidates hang in there so we have some choices and our votes count.
