The Wonderful 101's size leaves no room for DLC
Platinum Games is putting together a 20-hour experience with The Wonderful 101, a "mass-hero action" game for the Wii U. That means you probably won't be seeing any downloadable content for it.
The Wonderful 101 director Hideki Kamiya said that with that length, DLC simply isn't necessary. The developer has already put everything it wanted into the game.
Kamiya's attitude certainly falls in line with Nintendo's. The company has generally avoided DLC for its games in the past, only recently testing the concept with titles like New Super Mario Bros. 2 and New Super Mario Bros. U.
We put all we want to do in 101 so u don't need DLC, I think. RT @BagirovEmmanuel If W101 does well, would you be willing to do DLC for the— 神谷英樹 Hideki Kamiya (@PG_kamiya) July 7, 2013
Nintendo is publishing The Wonderful 101 on September 15 — months after the game was originally supposed to release during the Wii U's launch window, back in November last year. HD development has simply been overwhelming for the company, which has fumbled its launch schedule with other titles as well.

It has been planned for over a month for STBXH to take the kids to a local exhibition that they are really interested in. Now four days before the event, STBXH has a softball game during half the exhibition.
"The kids will be fine only seeing a few hours of it." Yeah right! DS12 is so excited that he signed up for the pre-event onsite campout. DD17 has actually shown excitement, which is unheard of in an 17yo girl. DS8 is the only one who might get bored.
But Dipshit's softball game is more important than his kids' activity. So I'll take the kids to the event. If Dipshit (hey new name for STBXH!) wants to show up for the second half, fine.
I knew on the list of his priorities that I fell somewhere below online porn and above yard work, but I thought at least the kids were more important to him.
Double Betrayal D-Day 7/26/2013
Divorced 11/18/2014
Yeah, he has one night a week with his son- Thursdays are his. And he joined a team that played on that night. My son called me multiple times crying from his dad's car in the parking lot where he was waiting. He didn't want to watch those games. And he had tons of homework to do- that was not with him but back at his dad's house usually! Or he was hungry/thirsty/tired. Sometimes it was after 9 when he would call. :(
Such fine specimens.
a. interest your STBX (clearly, it's not a porn exhibition)
b. somehow allow him to show off how awesome and involved he is as a parent (Photo op and/or: "Look at my sonny play out there-- that's MY kid... I'm so proud of him!")
c. show off some aspect of himself to the kids that he perceives as awesome (like his mad softball skills!)
then of course he doesn't care. I find that my ex is motivated pretty much by those three choices when it comes to my kids.
Who knew softball was such a big deal to a WS?
I love how self involved they truly are, with no regards to the impact it has on kids.
I have learned throughout the years to somehow manipulate the NPD actions, sometimes by pointing out how great he would look or how it would benefit him to attend the kid event it would make him do it.
Sometimes reverse psychology works, although, long term I am not sure of how much more dissapointing/damaging it is to our kids.
I fucken hate NPDs

How do I measure my length of pull? This may sound like a dumb question. I just got into skeet and trap shooting. I love it and can't get enough. I just invested in a new Weatherby Orion SSC. The stock comes a little longer than most so you can cut it to your personal length of pull. This seems like a great idea but I have no idea how to come up with what it should be. Is it just what feels comfortable? please help.

Yes, it is what feels good - ut its also what lets your face / cheek rest on the comb of the gun properly - and what allows you to get a good feel and finger position on trigger.
All of the Weatherby's I've seen have traditional angled combs on them. If you change the length of pull by cutting the stock / changing the height of recoil pad - you change the point where your face rides on the comb so it will change he point of impact as you move forward on the comb. In general - as you hold the grip of the gun you want your face at least an inch away from your thumb. Any closer will cause you to bump your face with your thumb.
Before you cut or do anything to the stock / take it to your club and pattern the gun to see where the point of impact is / have a buddy help you - make sure your face is sufficiently behind your thumb as you grip and fire the gun. Look at point of impact is it high, low or right on / if it is on - I would not cut the stock or change it in any way. If its high or low / you will have to raise the comb to get POI higher / lower it to get POI lower / - or get face on gun as you mount it to be on a higher or lower portion to changoe POI on an angled comb. This is all a little tougher to do on an angled comb than on a paralell comb - where a change in length of pull does not change the sight picture or point of impact - so you need to go slowly on making adjustments.
Putting wood back on is tougher than taking it off / be sure before you cut - and shoot it awhile and pattern it over a couple of days before you cut - just to be sure. Try and get someone at your club to help you that really understands gun fit and relationship to Point of Impact. You can change recoil pads and probably get 1/4 - 1/2" of adjustment too.

Hi Gunny,
Congratulations on the acquisition of your new Orion, may it give you years of service and enjoyment. You seem to be in a position where you know the fit is wrong, but you're not sure just what to do next. It's good that you recognize there's a problem. You'd be surprised how many folks shoot a stock that doesn't fit. There are ads for used Orions that say "LOP still at 14 3/4-inches" -- the guy didn't correct the fit, perhaps for fear of diminishing the gun's re-sale value. So, now he's got it up for sale because it's no fun to shoot because it's too long.
Please, before you get out a saw, consult an experienced stock fitter. BigJimP's right about having someone help, but if your buddy isn't an experienced comp shooter, see a pro. Did the seller recommend anyone? To your question: the traditional length of pull (LOP) is a measurement (some say taken parallel to the bore) from the trigger to the butt. There are various rules-of-thumb that relate optimum LOP to various aspects of the shooter's arm dimensions.
For a custom gun the basic LOP isn't really as applicable a measurement as in the past. This is because the LOP dimension doesn't take into consideration the exact location of the pistol grip. You can have a perfect LOP to match your arms, but if the grip is positioned wrong, so will your trigger finger. Your gun has an adjustable trigger, so where did Weatherby measure the LOP? An experienced stock fitter will take this into consideration. Ask around at the club where you shoot trap and Skeet (T & S), someone will be able to refer you to a good stock fit man.
IMHO, shooting T & S with your Orion SSC, you'll quickly come to the conclusion that the stock is way too low. Serious T & S shooters don't shoot high, straight stocks to be elitist snobs, they do it because they can break more targets that way. The Orion SSC is a very nice gun, but it's stock is marketed to the field shooter who's getting into clays. If you are serious about doing your best at T & S, you might consider adding an adjustable cheek piece in conjunction with you LOP adjustment.
Good luck,
Head down, and follow through...
They're not hard to hit, but they're easy to miss.

Thanks for all the detailed suggestions I really appreciate it. luckily I work at an indoor pistol range, and will check pattering one evening after hours. There are a couple of resident experts at the Oceana Skeet and Trap club where I shoot and I will solicit their help. Thanks again.

The `quick and easy`way of determining length of pull is to rest the butt in the crook of your arm, and then seeing how far up your trigger finger is able to go to reach the trigger; ideally, you should be just able to reach the trigger with the pad of your trigger-finger.

Hi Gunny,
Use a tape measure hook the end on the center of trigger and go to the center of the butt. Measire any other gun that you shoot comfortably and compared the measurements.
You can also try using a drywall T-square the "tee" goes across the depth of the butt and the long measuring bar should again go across the center of teh trigger.

SAN JOSE — The Earthquakes will launch an international search for a new coach this week, president Dave Kaval said Tuesday night.
The development comes four days after the Major League Soccer team installed Mark Watson on an interim basis to replace Frank Yallop for the rest of the season. Kaval characterized Yallop's departure as a mutual agreement after 5½ years in San Jose.
Kaval said Watson, 42, will get an "honest shot. It's not like he's just holding his feet."
Kaval and general manager John Doyle plan to meet Thursday to start building a list of potential candidates other than Watson. Kaval wants to take the rest of the season to fully evaluate the Quakes' future with the first coaching change since the team re-entered MLS in 2008.
"It's about our style of play and the type of team we want to be," he said. "When interviewing coaches, they are going to want to know."
The president said the change in direction had little to do with the team's eighth-place standing in the nine-team Western Conference.
Instead, it has to do with the future that includes the debut of an 18,000-seat stadium next year and the fact MLS is becoming increasingly competitive.
Kaval said the stadium will liberate the club financially to sign players, build homegrown talent and bolster the technical side.
Kaval laid out his plans in a newsletter to fans on the team's website Tuesday.
The new course calls for a more sophisticated vision that includes getting over the underdog role the team has adopted since the North American Soccer League days.
"There was a notion we were being successful in spite of all these obstacles," Kaval said. "I think we can do more. Our fans deserve that."

The ring is a size 8-ish, and is quite comfy on my size 8.5 finger. T are 3 large, round faceted clear gems, individually prong set in high throned baskets. Now that I look at the small holes beneath the gems, and study the ones in the sides of the baskets, this ring may be older than the 1940's... possibly dating to the 1920's, or earlier. The stones measure 1/4" in diameter. The gal from whom I got this thought they were zircons, which is a natural earth-mined stone, very under-appreciated by the public. One of the gems, on the end, appears to have a slightly different cut from the other 2, and may be a replacement. The presentation area is 5/8" east-to-west, and the top measures 1/4" north-to-south. The baskets rise up 3/16" above the plane of the shanks. The ring weighs 2.5 grams, and is in very good vintage condition. The sterling setting has a bit of a patina going, which I left as is. Thank you for your interest, and holelr if you have any questions! :)

The G. Loomis Roller Cargo Bag is our personal favorite fly fishing travel bag. We use it on our saltwater fly fishing trips we run out of the shop as well as freshwater trips. You can throw it in the back of the pickup or put it on an airplane. This bag has a hard bottom compartment I can pack a number of travel fly rods safely. It has plenty of room for clothes and fly fishing gear. It also has wet/dry pockets on the side to protect your gear. We really like the fact that the bag is relatively light at 11 lbs. allowing you more gear for airline weight restrictions. the rollers make travel very convenient.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
The shoulder hang is craft foam and bias tape, with super strong magnets at the tips for the Styrofoam ornaments which were covered in drywall mud and carved into the appropriate shape. All the ornaments are held on by magnets; I have never had a problem with them coming off. The poncho has the appropriate slits up the front, but not the one in the back.
- Personal Thoughts:
- There's more fabric in her poncho than you might think. This one is a full circle of blue and light blue, and fully lined in a pink cotton blend. I love hearing people say, "Oh my god it's Outlaw Star! You never see people cosplay that anymore." and make their day when they see my Melfina.

Every prominent and highly successful entrepreneur has methodically established a memorable and powerful brand.
Well-conceived and implemented brands have a specific purpose and can have enormous value to a business. The purpose of this article is to introduce business builders to the nature and worth of this invaluable marketing tool.
Quite often, after I have invested in emerging growth companies, I note a company's lack of a concise brand strategy. To help the leaders of these firms with this critical assignment, I invite Mark Hurst of Connect Partners — my good friend and nationally known brand expert — to facilitate a branding session.
He has consistently worked his magic with many organizations in our area with amazing results. I have called upon him, once again, for his expertise as I write this column.
A company with a powerful brand can differentiate itself from competitors and establish itself in the hearts of customers. The process begins with finding and defining the customer and the messages to communicate to this targeted audience.
Please consider three constructs on this theme found in the book titled "What Makes Winning Brands Different," by Andreas Buchholz and Wolfram Wordemann.
In short, brands involve an "agenda, a drawer and a bridge." Today, we will focus on the topic of an "agenda," or a product category.
All products and services can be thought of as being part of a category or agenda that has been established by sellers and buyers. As company founders, we must either be part of the existing agenda, or we have to change it to our advantage.
Not too many years ago, we noticed advertising from Snapple, the fruit-juice company. This tiny start-up firm from New England entered the juice category against Ocean Spray, Minute Maid and other beverage behemoths. At first, Snapple performed poorly against the giant billion-dollar brands.
Unfortunately, the nascent firm was unable to secure distribution, shelving and especially mindshare. Retailers and customers saw no need for the newcomer.
Recognizing its plight as a fruit-juice company, leaders changed the essence of their brand and declared themselves a healthy-soft-drink provider.
Instead of losing ground to fruit-juice firms, they began marketing to consumers who were ready for something healthier. Even though its drinks are not 100 percent fruit juice, in the world of sugary sodas, which have zero fruit juice, Snapple products became a delicious and healthful alternative to traditional soda pop.
Viola, a new category was born and the beverage industry has never been the same.
Subway sandwiches made virtually the same move. In the gigantic world of fast-food burger chains, the agenda seems to be more about tons of bacon, more fat, more fries, all resulting in more calories.
That was the case until Subway discovered a new audience segment ready for something healthier. Despite the fact that there are now Subway sandwich stores on nearly every corner worldwide, there was a time when the category was dominated by McDonald's, Burger King and eventually Wendy's.
Subway had a hard time on that grand stage. Fast food meant burgers. That was the agenda. Subway couldn't get on the agenda, so the company changed it. Subway invented the category called "healthy fast food" and it resonated with people.
Promotional campaigns declared the use of fresh vegetables, delicious ingredients, oven-baked bread and fewer calories.
I can see, in my mind's eye, loveable Jared, who by eating Subway sandwiches lost hundreds of pounds of weight.
Not only did Subway change the agenda, but now all the other fast-food players are trying to catch up and join the innovative agenda created by Subway.
Here's another example: Years ago, the only way to enjoy a clean and fresh mouth was to brush your teeth. To improve upon this process, chemists invented Listerine. They created a new agenda, declaring that a clean mouth and sweet breath required medicine. The liquid tasted nasty, but it had to be "mediciney" in order to convince people that eliminating bad breath required the killing of germs in the mouth.
The old agenda was changed, and Johnson & Johnson sold gazillions of bottles of Listerine and became a billion-dollar brand.
When the folks at Proctor and Gamble decided to enter the mouthwash category, they knew they had to make a choice: beat the competitor with a similar product or change the agenda again.
P&G's solution was Scope. Management declared, "It kills germs but tastes good." When Scope television ads asked the question, "Why suffer with medicine breath," we all responded by buying Scope by the five-gallon barrel and thereby displaced Listerine as the top mouthwash brand.
Scope, even now, continues to dominate as a result of that decision to deliver a better-tasting mouthwash. Killing germs effectively and sweetly became the new agenda. Looking back on this event, we might think to ourselves, "How simple was that?"Comment on this story
It's always that simple. No matter what we are selling, we should respond to the current wishes of our customers and provide solutions they haven't even considered yet.
We should also understand the direction of our competition and then find a way to dominate the current agenda. If we can't dominate it, we should aggressively establish a new agenda that's in our favor and will be wildly embraced by consumers.
The topic next week will be creating a "drawer" in the consumer's mind. I look forward to your comments on branding. You can connect with me at www.AlanEHall.com or at @AskAlanEHall.

The charges relate to more than a 100 operations at the hospital between 2001 and 2003 in which people - mainly Brazilians - were paid as little as R42 000 to donate their kidneys to Israeli patients.Friedland and several transplant unit staff were served with summons on Thursday, according to The Times newspaper.More people were expected to be served with summons on Thursday.The accused were expected to appear in a Durban court in November.

Ghost towns of Wilbur, Adelaide and Glenbrook (to name a few) that washed away in flashfloods or dissipated as a result of the slowing economy after the railroad closed in 1912 are eerily present throughout. We'll let you decide the significance of the word "phantom" in Phantom Canyon Road (especially if you're camping overnight!). Some believe it's named after an 1890s ghost sighting of a man wearing a prison uniform walking along the tracks. The passengers who spotted the man claim he was executed at the Colorado State Penitentiary a few days prior.
Engineers of narrow-gauge railroads like the Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad excelled at navigating sharp, narrow turns and steep, un-guarded drop-offs. As the road slowly gains in elevation from 5,500 to 9,500 feet, you'll squeeze through two tunnels that were meticulously chiseled out of dense mountainous terrain by miners making room for a booming gold industry.
Another sight to keep an eye out for is Adelaide Bridge, which spans Eightmile Creek. This steel architectural landmark is an official site of the National Register of Historic Places and is the only remaining bridge from the Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad.
Standard vehicles without trailers are welcome on Phantom Canyon Road as long the driver gives ol' lead foot a break (it's a stretch of the imagination to wonder how a train completed these angular turns). Pull off at one of the rest stops for a hike and snapshots of the area's tree-covered ravines and textured vertical walls.
Getting There
Phantom Canyon Road is approximately one hour from Colorado Springs between the cities of Florence and Victor. The road can be accessed from Highway 115 to the south and 67 to the north.

We already walked through some of the ceremony details and decor, but there was even more once we moved from cocktail hour in the barn to the reception on the (covered—thank goodness!) patio. Let's start with the tables.
Between the runners, the doilies, the table numbers and their holders, I poured a lot of time during our engagement collecting and sewing and gluing the components that went into these tablescapes. So was it worth it? Absolutely! First of all, I actually ENJOYED these DIY projects. I loved having an excuse to pick through antique stores and leave my sewing machine plugged in. Second of all, not to toot my own horn, but look at how pretty our tables were when everything came together!
If you look above the doilies, and next to the beautiful floral centerpieces, you will spy some milk glass and pink frosted dishes holding strawberries and sugar.
I adored the way this looked on our tables, and on top of that they were freakin' delicious! Yes, that's right, I did not hold back and stuffed my face. I did so while sitting at our sweetheart table:
Do you spy a little something on the chair there? It's the darling sign that adorned the chairs for my Mr. and me.
Okay, enough of the tables and chairs. Let's take a little peak at the bar:
In addition to the sign I made for the bar, you may recall that my love of chalkboard frames also inspired me to make a frame for our menu.
And to wrap things up, a few details to show a staple of every southern rustic wedding: burlap!
Now that you have seen the scene, next up it will be time to get the party started!
What special details did you include? Did you enjoy your DIY projects? Were they worth the effort?

WASHINGTON — Cable's broadband infrastructure investments laid the foundation for a wide range of innovations, including potential rival Internet video services — but those have kept TV viewers more connected to their favorite skeins rather than driving them to cut the cord, according to industry execs.
That was the rosy consensus of panelists at the opening sesh here at the Cable Show 2013, which included execs from TV programmers, technology companies and just one cable operator (Charter topper Tom Rutledge).
Internet video services like Netflix along with social media are making cable auds even bigger, according to AMC Networks prexy and CEO Josh Sapan (pictured, above). Ratings for 70% of AMC's scripted series have increased in subsequent seasons "where TV historically gotten long in the tooth," he said.
"We've seen these escalations on these TV shows… They have been enabled by this disruption," Sapan said, referring to cabler's "The Walking Dead" an "eternal zombie movie that never ends." "The audience is just getting bigger. I'd look at all this stuff as cool, not worrisome."
Asked by panel moderator Cynthia Littleton, Variety's editor-in-chief of TV, whether subscription video services like Netflix could cut into cable viewing, Sapan acknowledged that "there's always the specter of friends turning into foes, or growing up to be foes."
Cord-cutting, while small today, is a real phenomenon as overall more pay TV subscribers have dropped their service in the past year than signed up, industry statistics prove.
But even over-the-top video boxes like Roku's can help the cable TV industry, according to Steve Shannon, the company's GM of content and services. About 70% of Roku's 5 million-plus users are cable customers, and about three quarters of them "are ascribing new value to the pay-TV package because of the TV Everywhere apps on their Roku box," he said.
AMC and other cable nets are careful about licensing past seasons to SVOD services, providing new avenues for viewers to get hooked on a show for the following run, Sapan said: "It's a big juice-up for cable TV."
Anne Sweeney, prexy of Disney/ABC Television Group, agreed that serialized television benefits from new technologies and services. "It's all about the windowing strategy," she said.
ABC is positioned to be a "disruptive" company, Sweeney claimed, in delivering TV Everywhere services like WatchESPN, WatchABC and WatchDisneyChannel. But it's "disruptive in a way that is part of this great ecosystem, because it's done in concert with the MVPDs (multichannel video programming distributors)," she said.
Matt Blank, Showtime Networks chairman and CEO, agreed that SVOD is an attractive source of revenue and a way to expand the reach of original TV series.
Even with exploding Internet video options, "we've never had better performance," Blank said. "It's about making great content, and controlling as much of that content as possible."
Charter's Rutledge, the lone MSO represented on the morning's panels, allowed that Internet-delivered video causes regulatory and business issues that need to be sorted out. But at the end of the day, "it's all television." Ultimately, increased usage of cable's broadband infrastructure helps the bottom line.
"We are spending billions of dollars a year on technology development," Rutledge said. "I'd like to go faster, even though we're going very fast and the capacity of the networks is going up."
All told, cable operators have invested more than $200 billion in infrastructure between 1996 and 2013, according to National Cable & Telecommunications Assn. president and CEO Michael Powell. The industry now serves more than 50 million broadband customers and offers service to 93% of American homes.
"America is home to the world's very best Internet companies," which have used cable's broadband platform to deliver new services, Powell said.
But Big Cable is still a slow-moving behemoth amid more agile Silicon Valley flora and fauna, according to Jawbone CEO Hosain Rahman. He said his company, which makes wireless headsets, is developing a product with Comcast. Compared with cable operators like Comcast, "We are sort of just used to a different pace in how we bring products and services to market," he said.
Oddly, the Cable Show was opened by 51-year-old MC Hammer, who performed his 1991 hit "2 Legit 2 Quit." Perhaps the implied message was that cable's still going strong after all these decades, although the same cannot be said of Mr. Hammer's popularity.

Egyptian army chief defends ousting Morsi
Mon., July 15, 2013
CAIRO – Facing unrelenting pressure from Muslim Brotherhood protesters, Egypt's military chief sought to justify his decision to remove Mohammed Morsi from office, saying Sunday in a televised speech that the Islamist leader had violated his popular mandate and antagonized state institutions.
The comments by Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi – his first since the president's ouster nearly two weeks ago – came as the designated interim prime minister pushed ahead with talks to form a new Cabinet this week.
Reform advocate Mohamed ElBaradei was sworn in as Egypt's interim vice president for international relations on Sunday. The move reinforces the role of liberals in the new leadership who strongly oppose the Brotherhood. Several secular-minded candidates also have been approached to lead the foreign, finance, culture, information and other key ministries.
The United States sent its No. 2 diplomat in the State Department, William Burns, to Cairo to meet with interim government officials as well as civil society and business leaders. Burns is the first high-level American official to visit since Morsi's ouster.
The State Department said Burns would underscore U.S. support for the Egyptian people and a transition leading to an inclusive, democratically elected civilian government. The United States has called for Morsi's release. Since his ouster, Morsi has been held incommunicado at an undisclosed location.
El-Sissi said the armed forces acted to remove Morsi on July 3 according to the will of the people as the country was sliding toward deeper polarization and more violence. The Islamist leader was the first democratically chosen leader after a narrow victory in elections last year.
Brotherhood spokesman Gehad el-Haddad responded to el-Sissi's remarks, saying the military had no right to act on behalf of the people of Egypt except through "orders of their elected commander in chief," meaning Morsi. In comments posted on Twitter, he said the military also has no right to decide which protest is worthy enough to represent the people.
El-Sissi said Morsi "entered into a conflict with the judiciary, the media, the police and the public opinion. Then (he) also entered into a conflict with the armed forces." He didn't elaborate on the nature of the conflict but said comments about the military offended "and were considered a stab to the national pride."
El-Sissi, speaking to an auditorium filled with military officers, said the armed forces could no longer stand on the sidelines as millions of Egyptians took to the streets to call for the Islamist leader to step down over allegations he was abusing his power.
The military chief said he frequently advised Morsi and finally reached out to him before giving him a 48-hour ultimatum to reconcile with opponents and address public demands. He said he sent two envoys, including then Prime Minister Hesham Kandil and a trusted legal expert, urging the president to hold a referendum on whether voters still supported his presidency, but the suggestion was rejected out of hand.

This is currently only a idea how it can be possible to add ultra-fast > MACH 5 hypersonic planes to San Andreas. The core problem is the San Andreas Engine because that huge view distance of >2000 km is normally not possible. So that mean the game streaming system is broken and you are not able to see the world, vehicles... . Maybe there's a solution for this problem like to increase only the view distance of vehicles and effect. Another important detail that I can't manage is the light of the plane to make it visible at very long distances. The light is only a searchlight. At this time I'm not able to solve these problems.

Yes, its also possible to travel on the plane (not drive) as you can see in my new video. But the question is why? The size of San Andreas Map is approximately only 36^2 km. The plane needs less than one second to pass the map Theyre also many problems to fly at very high velocities, altitudes and distances. The game goes crazy if you do so.

Bus Crash Survivors Near Pendleton
The survivors of the bus crash Sunday in the mountains near Pendleton that are out of the hospital are ready to make the rest of the trip back to Canada. Yesterday they were taken out to the site of the crash so they could look for their luggage and belongings. The Red Cross says many survivors are too scared to get on another bus, so a car dealer offered to drive them in passenger vehicles.

New South Wales Death certificates can be obtained from the NSW
Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, Box 30 GPO, Sydney,
Australia, 2001. It is some years since I last got certificates, at
that time the charge was A$20 if the registration number was quoted,
A$26 if registration number not quoted. In my previous email, I quoted
the reference numbers for the marriage and the death. There are
transcription agents who charge less. One such can be reached by
emailing but I have never used this service
and cannot give a personal recommendation - of course I have no
adverse report either.
Australian National Archives issue Fact Sheets, sheets 137, 31, 30 and
138 relate to the navy. Aust Nat Arvhives' web site is www.naa.gov.au
I believe most naval records are held in Melbourne, their email
address is I believe they would reply to queeries
but would not undertake any research for you.
Other naval records could be found at Australian War Museum -
Canberra. The AWM often has interesting and unexpected information
including diaries, reference books, academic theses and artefacts. I
don't have that web site at hand, a search engine will find it for
If RS Oliver was a sea captain, NSW State Records (previously known as
NSW State Archives), can probably confirm that fact because they have
lists of shipping movements and the masters are listed. Other sailors
are seldom referred to. www.records.new.gov.au and

questions can be answered by email.
"Osneath" would be the name of the house. It was a common practice, in
those times, to name houses. Letters were addressed to the house name,
usually with a street name as well and the suburb. If the house still
stands, it probably retains the name but the street name would be
needed to identify the house.
In 1924, Croydon would have been one of the most western of Sydney's
suburbs. Now it is still a predominantly dormitory suburb but
considered one of the inner western suburbs. In fact, Sydney has
expanded so much that its centre is approximately Parramatta, which is
considerably further west of Croydon.
Croydon is probably in the area controlled by Burwood Council - most
councils have archives and could provide a history of the suburb and
photos. I don't know if they have a web site but it is worth a search.

Ever since the threat of global warming seared its way into public consciousness during the record-breaking heat wave of 1988, environmentalists have been pushing governments to take action.

Left unchecked, many scientists believe, the buildup in the atmosphere could create the greenhouse effect, boosting temperatures and changing weather patterns in unpredictable, probably destructive ways.

Chapati is an unleavened pancake-like bread from India. Often diners tear off pieces and use them to scoop up food. Serve these chapati alongside our Chicken Madras Curry with Chapati.
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 Tbs. usli ghee or unsalted butter, at
room temperature, plus more for brushing
- 1 Tbs. milk
- 1/2 cup water, plus more as
Related Recipes
Directions:In a bowl, stir together the 1 1/2 cups flour and the salt. In a small bowl, stir together the 1 Tbs. usli ghee and the milk. Add to the flour mixture and stir well. Add the 1/2 cup water and stir well, gathering and pressing, until the flour adheres together. If the dough looks dry, add 1 to 2 Tbs. more water, but do not add too much or the dough will become too sticky.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes. If necessary, add more flour or water to achieve a workable, elastic consistency. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each into a 1 1/2- to 2-inch ball and roll out into a 6-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick.
Heat an Indian tava griddle or cast-iron fry pan over medium-high heat. Brush the tava lightly with usli ghee. Place 1 dough round on the tava and cook until covered with light brown specks, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Using tongs, turn the chapati over and cook for 30 seconds more. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining dough rounds.
Meanwhile, heat a stovetop roaster over high heat. Place a browned chapati on the roaster and cook until it puffs up, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Brush the chapati with usli ghee and place in a shallow bowl lined with a kitchen towel or paper towels. Repeat with the remaining chapati. Serve warm. Makes 8.

Discussion in 'Shoes and Apparel' started by tnkGod4tns, Jul 16, 2008.
seems like everybody is out of them, are they that good or they just don't make enough of them?
I think that they sold more than anticipated, you can find a pair if you just do a little searching
They have almost zero interest in marketing their tennis stuff in the US. The shoes are good if you have low arches and wide heels. If you have a more normal-shaped foot, they might not be the best shoe for you.
Guapito, you have them? I have them on order but you have raised a red flag with the "wide heel" comment. Please clarify. Thanks!
Yes, they are a bit wide in the heel and midfoot (because of low arch support) but narrower in the forefoot. I typically get a better fit from Nike but really like the Yonex 305. The Asics feel similar to the NB822 in terms of fit for me.
el guapo, i'm trying to find a replacement for the yonex 305, i dont like the 306's
could you compare the fit on the asics to the 305?
The Asics are wider in the midfoot and heel and the toebox isn't as supple (it folds down more on your toes in the Asics). They're also a bit heavier than the 305. My heel moves too much in the Asics.
The 305s were the best shoes ever made, IMO. If I were getting something else, I'd look into the Nike Oscillates or the Vapor V.
thanks, will have to try the vapor on next time
Thank you.
What size do you wear? I've found lots of places with the 305 still in stock in various colors.
I called a pro shop that told me the Asics Gel Resolution had been discontinued. Oh well.
i have medium to higher arches, and i don't find any discomfort from the arch support; in fact, it's quite supportive. do a search, as there are several threads related to the asics gel resolutions; the response is overwhelmingly positive
^^^ Try comparing to some other shoes to give some sort of perspective. The Asics do not have high arch support. Trust me.
This doesn't jibe with what TW just told me. Their next shipment is scheduled to come in on 7/24. Seems weird that a relatively new shoe that is sold out and has a strong following would be discontinued.
10 1/2, i bought the last 3 pairs from m i d blah blah west.......
Hopefully the store I spoke with was misinformed.
I know a place that has the 10.5 silver/white/navy ones online for $59.
oh i'm not disputing that there are shoes that have higher arch support, or that the asics have a high arch support. i'm just saying that for me personally, i have medium to higher arches, and the arch support doesn't bother me. that's all haha
I currently own the asics Challengers and the asics Gel-Game (Japan Version) And some other asics hardcourt shoes..
I also own a brand new pair of Nike Zoom Air shoes, and although I love my new Air Zooms, I must say that the asics are alot more comfy..
I spent the day walking around with the wife with the Aie Zomms on today, and felt that they are light, but weren't really for walking around for two hours in.. So I am wondering how they will go in match play on a hard court next month..
The asics on the other hand, I have worn playing, and walking around and have found them to be great.. No complaints..
Chris, do you have pics of the Nihon Gel-Game? I'm hoping to pick up some shoes with a different look while visiting the in-laws later this year. I trust that shoe sizes are not as "challenging" as apparel sizes -- I always wind up buying my yukatas at the Sumo shop
heck yeah, the Resolutions are the best tennis shoes I have ever worn.
Which store is that?
Here you are:
All I know is that most retailers are running out of them. They must be a decent shoe for this type of selling. I actually like them and would give them a try. I have never owned Asics or Babolat shoes so I am willing to experiment.
Me too. It is hard to tell if they are selling fast or if there is some kind of supply problem. But yeah, they're that good.
El Guapo, or anyone else, where is that secret online place that sells them for $69?
Thanks Chris -- very nice looking kicks.
use superfeet green to replace the current insoles and you should be fine.
My partner uses them in her BF II and loves them. I use the orange in my resolution and love them.
The shoes supply is basically running out based on the demand. The shoes are cheap for the amount of cushioning and support they provide.

Pep Guardiola: Vincent Kompany will have to fight for his place in the first team
Kompany is close a comeback after recovering from a groin and thigh operation.
The Belgium crock broke down in May with the latest in a long list of setbacks that forced him to miss Euro 2016.
The defender is back in full training and pushing for a recall ahead of today's visit of Bournemouth, with City looking to make it their best ever start to a season with eight wins out of eight.
But Guardiola admits he faces a fight to win back his place considering the strong competition for places at the back.
New £50m signing John Stones has settled in well, while Nicolas Otamendi has raised his game following the arrival of Guardiola this summer.
"They have to compete with each other, we'll see on the pitch what is the best for that game," he said.

The Tyrone Courier is the local newspaper for Dungannon and the surrounding areas.
At £1.20 it has risen in price in recent years and it is now published late on Monday evening/Tuesday each week.
Personally, for me the Tyrone Courier is something of a ritual. I buy it each and every week without fail, and if for some reason I haven't bought it, I must borrow a copy from a family member.
You see, I'm afraid that I'll miss some piece of vital news!
The Tyrone Courier keeps us all up to date with all the goings on in and around the borough, from politics, charity events, births, deaths and marriages. It also covers all the local sporting events which takes up a considerable amount of space at the back of the newspaper itself.
The public notices section and job section are always the most popular parts of the Courier, together with the classified ads.
All in all, the Tyrone Courier is somewhat of a tradition in our home that will always have its place!
I found it quite a surprise to see the Tyrone Courier on Dooyoo, it's the local paper where I live and I certainly didn't expect to see it on here, but that said, it is the largest circulation newspaper in county Tyrone so I suppose there are many people out there who do read it.
Firstly, it is based largely around the Dungannon area. Dungannon is a fairly large town, and the paper is read by those on the outskirts too. The front page is normally about 1/2 advertisements and 1/2 current topical news from the area. Today's Courier's title is "By-Pass for Dungannon" so you get the gist; it's news that local people are concerned about. There is also a picture of two local school children reminding us that the clocks go forward this weekend. It is much tamer than the national tabliods, but in general the articles are well written and very informative.
I know that a lot of people, like myself, buy this paper to find out what's going on locally. It is especially good for people who have children as there will generally be a small editorial about any events that are going on in the area. It is the primary way that I would find out about the festivals/ fun days that the kids can attend.
The Courier has photographers out on the road on a daily basis, and when the paper is released on a Wednesday there are loads of pictures to have a nosey at; you can almost guarantee that you will see at least one familiar face in there; school prize givings, sport's dinner dances, Im sure everyone has had their face in there at some stage!
I am currently job-hunting and the first page I turn to will be the jobfinder. There's not much in the area at the moment as we have been quite badly hit by recession here, but ocassionally there will be a real gem in there, and you know that if they are advertising in the courier that they are probably a local company.
There are always a few competitons in there, sometimes they have really good prizes but I always forget to fill in the information so it's never going to be me who wins them! All of the local sport is covered in detail and there is a whole section lent to GAA teams to place their weekly notes in.
All in all, the Tyrone Courier is possibly a bit on the quaint side, there's not much violence and definitely not much sex on the pages, but it is a great publication for the local community to keep in touch with what is going on around them. It costs £1 and you can buy it every Wednesday morning.
If you live in the area, or are moving into the Dungannon borough it is a must-read (or else you'll not have a clue what's happening here!)

SAN FRANCISCO – The US national team's seldom-used 4-4-2 diamond formation was one of the biggest topics of the night before, during and after the Americans' wobbly 2-0 win over Azerbaijan at Candlestick Park.
But just how much there was to be gleaned from Jurgen Klinsmann's latest experiment with the team's formation is unclear for now. Tuesday night's match was just the second time the team has used the diamond formation in nearly three years under Klinsmann – they broke it out for the first time in a 2-2 draw against Mexico last month – and at least for now, it showed promise against an overmatched and conservative Azerbaijan side.
"I just love the formation for this team," said midfielder Kyle Beckerman, who played the holding midfielder role in the formation for the US in April but gave way to Jermaine Jones on Tuesday. "I think we keep at it and we keep getting better. I think we can really get after teams and break them down through passing and really be the team that dictates play and be on the offensive rather than counterattack. It's just a really good formation, you see a lot of teams switching to it now."
Known to most Major League Soccer fans as the formation used successfully for years by Real Salt Lake, the diamond formation was also a winner for Chelsea's 2009-10 title run in the English Premier League and, at times, AC Milan's steady-handed teams of the mid-aughts.
It's also a staple for club teams in Argentina that has carried over to the national team in the past, calling for level-headed playmakers in the midfield and speedy, athletic outside backs to provide width up the field.
Klinsmann didn't indicate either way whether or not the US will use the formation when they suit up again on June 1 against Turkey at Red Bull Arena (Sunday, 2 pm ET, ESPN2), but it's clear they have the personnel to potentially make it work. Wingers Graham Zusi and especially Alejandro Bedoya were active and pesky on Tuesday, and the formation would allow Michael Bradley to push further up the field into a role that suits his knack for smart distribution and dogged pressure.
And while Jones has taken flack in years past for his wayward positioning too far up the field to play the diamond's essential destroyer role, he stayed home on Tuesday. It's a role he's played in the past with Schalke and could easily do so again if Klinsmann asks when the World Cup opens next month.
"He's played years throughout different roles," Klinsmann said of Jones. "If we play a diamond like we did, then it's really important that he stays there and protects our two center backs. And with his passing technique he can open up and switch a game right away.
"He understood that role," Klinsmann added. "The way he recovers balls and is physical with the opponent, that's just one of his strengths that we hopefully see in Brazil."
Added Jones: "I feel OK with that situation. It's no problem if I play alone [at holding midfielder]."
As for the outside backs called on for pressure up the field, Fabian Johnson earned the start at right back and longtime US midfielder DaMarcus Beasley was once again on the left.
Each of those players and their challengers Timmy Chandler and DeAndre Yedlin – who both served as second-half subs against Azerbaijan – can certainly manage the speed requirements of the role and like to get forward to compliment a talented midfield core learning a new system on the fly.
"Every day, the relationships continue to get better," Bradley said. "The understanding between guys – how to move with each other, how to play with each other. That part is all improving."

"When you add in a setting that accurately reflects a period in history that has never been rendered so beautifully, it sets a new benchmark not just for the action-crime genre, but for any game set in the real world with a rich story to tell."

SEVEN Penrith under-19 rugby league players have been banned for a total of 92 years, with three being banned for 20 years or more over an ugly all-in brawl involving more than 50 spectators at a semi-final in western Sydney earlier this month.
Penrith Panthers District Junior Rugby League Compliance and Legal Coordinator, and Penrith Leagues Club Chairman, Don Feltis said the brawl was one of the worst in his four decades of junior league administration.
He laid the blame solely on the parents and spectators of the boys for escalating a small scuffle into a violent melee, where some players were allegedly stomped on.
"If the spectators had stayed off the field the ground officials would have had it under control," he said.
"This will damage the image of the game across Australia.
"I am so annoyed they took it on themselves to charge onto the field."
Mr Feltis said there was no alcohol being served at Turnbull Oval in North Richmond because it was a junior game, but police couldn't confirm if alcohol was brought to the game by spectators.
The brawl erupted when two players started fighting after the Penrith Waratahs won the semi-final match 14-12 over the Hebersham based Western Tigers in extra time with a penalty goal.
As the brawl escalated spectators and players poured onto the field with officials helpless to stop the violence.
All but one of the 10 players who fronted the junior judiciary at the Panthers home ground, Centrebet Stadium, on Tuesday and Wednesday night were from the Western Tigers team, including two players already suspended from an incident the week before the August 11 match.
One of these players copped the longest ban of 25 years, while two other Tigers were banned for 20 years, one of whom was "Jordan" who was photographed trying to stomp on one player's head, and the second, already suspended player, received a 12 year exile.
The Tigers fullback was banned for 10 years, a centre five years, while another was banned for 12 matches.
A Penrith Waratahs player and two Tigers were found not guilty of kicking, but one Tiger was banned for six matches for behaving in a contrary manner.
Mr Feltis said there was nothing ground officials could do to stop the violence and Hawkesbury police have formed strike force Calandra to investigate the incident.
Hawkesbury crime manager Detective Inspector Paul McHugh told the Daily Telegraph today police were still reviewing footage and taking statements but no charges were immediately pending.
He said one player had complained to Penrith police the night after the brawl and police were appealing for any witnesses and additional footage.
Mr Feltis had a simple message for players, parents and spectators.
"Respect and abide the codes of conduct," he said.
Penrith Junior Rugby League has more than 9000 players, who play more than 5000 games each winter for 22 clubs in more than 500 teams.
The charges handed down by Penrith District Rugby League this week:
Penrith Waratahs #49 - Behave contrary manner and punching - NOT GUILTY.
Western City Tigers #8 - Behave contrary and kicking - NOT GUILTY.
Western City Tigers #6 - Behave contrary and kicking - NOT GUILTY FOR KICKING, but suspended for 6 competition matches for behave contrary.
Western City Tigers #21 - Behave contrary and punching - Suspended for 12 competition matches.
Western City Tigers #4 - Behave contrary, punching and kicking - Suspended for 5 years.
Western City Tigers #1 - Behave contrary and threaten match official - Suspended for 10 years.
Western City Tigers (currently suspended) - Unauthorised entry onto field, behave contrary and punching - Suspended for 12 years.
Western City Tigers #19 - Behave contrary and kicking- Suspended for 20 years.
Western City Tigers #12 -Behave contrary, punching and kicking - Suspended for 20 years.
Western City Tigers (currently suspended) - Unauthorised entry onto field, behave contrary, punching and kicking - Suspended for 25 years.

Wojciech Szczesny lends a helping hand to the Arsenal-funded health and wellbeing facility for homeless young people supported by London's leading youth homelessness charity, Centrepoint.
Arsenal Football Club continues its support for Centrepoint, the leading youth homelessness charity by volunteering player and staff time to contribute to the refurbishment of a state-of-the-art health and wellbeing facility for homeless young people in Soho.
The facility's refurbishment is funded by the Club through money raised throughout the 2010/11 season as part of the 'Be a Gooner. Be a Giver.' campaign which saw supporters, players and staff raising over £500,000 to refurbish the building which will provide services to help homeless young people get back on their feet and back in to society.
Main Contractor 8build, have been refurbishing the 4,000ft2 building as their 'giving back project 2014' at zero profit, by stripping out and making structural modifications to create a space which includes new counselling rooms, a recording studio, main hall, kitchen facilities as well as some much needed office space for the Centrepoint Health and Wellbeing team.
Arsenal goalkeeper, Wojciech Szczesny, joined the group of staff representing a number of Club departments who helped paint the exterior walls of the building in Dean Street, Soho.
Speaking ahead of the Club's FA Cup Semi-Final match against Wigan Athletic at Wembley on Saturday, Wojciech said: "It's amazing to be a part of something special – not just the fundraising, but actually helping towards making the building a place where homeless young people can come to help themselves to a better future."
Nick Connolly, Head of Corporate Development at Centrepoint, added: "We can't thank Arsenal and the Club's fans, players and staff enough for all they've done to help us create a state-of-the-art Health and Wellbeing Centre on Dean Street.
Tackling youth homelessness is about more than providing a safe place to call home: a third of the young people we work with have a mental health problem, many have physical ailments as a direct result of homelessness and many more simply do not know what it means to live healthily.
Once the centre is complete, our counsellors and healthy living advisers will have the purpose built facilities they need to help homeless young people at Centrepoint turn their lives around."
