Surreal victory is Marton O'Neill's defining moment
With a patched-up back four, a sub goalkeeper, Ireland delivered the first really big display of the last decade
WE waited two years for it but Martin O'Neill's side finally came of age in Dublin last night.
With a goal which Jack Charlton could have claimed a copyright on, an Irish side with a patched-up back four, with a sub keeper who is a reserve at West Ham, Ireland delivered the first really big performance of the last decade to put a trip to France in 2016 within reach.
A place in the playoffs secure - Scotland are out of contention and going nowhere next summer after their draw at home to Poland last night - this Ireland side can skip the playoffs and advance to France with a win in Warsaw on Sunday.
A few months ago, Ireland beating the classy Poles away would have seemed fanciful. But so was a win over the world champions and now, seeing as the long-absent spirit is back in the Irish side, anything is possible.
The imperative was in some part sucked from this game even before the Spanish referee tooted his whistle to kick off proceedings in front of 50,604, the biggest attendance in this ground for some time.
A draw would be enough for the Germans so they had no need to launch themselves at the home side - little did they know that with Long's second half goal they would need to throw the kitchen sink at Ireland with no joy.
And even Ireland knew beforehand that even with a heavy loss here, they could - depending on how Poland and Scotland fared - still stay in the race for France 2016.
An Ireland win here would have lessened the importance of events in Glasgow and ensured a playoff place at least for the Republic. But Germany lose very few European Championship qualifiers and don't lose them to national teams who draw five of their starting XI from the second tier of the English game, which makes this win last night all the more remarkable.
Of course Martin O'Neill's team selection raised a lot of eyebrows, with Stephen Ward restored to the starting XI after a spell out in the cold, while the selection of Daryl Murphy as the striker was also a big call by O'Neill.
Leaving Robbie Keane out of the starting XI was something that was expected of O'Neill but Long must wonder what he has to do to get more than a bit part, though we knew the second half could see the Tipperary man summoned from the bench, and indeed the arrival off the bench of Long on 65 minutes sparked a reaction from the crowd that's usually reserved for James McClean.
And with his 70th minute goal, Long delivered the answer. That he can deliver.
Players like Stephen Hunt in the past, and Long of more recent times, get frustrated with being depicted as mere 'impact players'. Long's 57-cap international career has often been one of frustration for the Southampton man.
But from the early stages of this battle, we could see that defence, not attack, was the issue for Ireland in terms of whether O'Neill made the right call with the selection of Murphy ahead of Long or even Keane. For the first 20 minutes, Germany basically owned the ball, ripping through Ireland time and again, though the side who only needed a draw to advance to France 2016 lacked that clinical edge when faced with Shay Given's goal.
It was all about last-gasp blocks instead of Beckenbauer-style calm defending, Richard Keogh earning his keep on 15 minutes when Mats Hummels stroked in a cross which caused more than mild panic for home fans.
Keogh, winning only his eighth senior cap, was kept alert by John O'Shea's urgings, their coverage needed as Cyrus Christie at right back was having a very tough night.
Manuel Neuer was having a very quiet night, though he had to stay sharp when Christie sneaked in a cross aimed at Jon Walters on 23 minutes while the closest Ireland came to scoring was 11 minutes before the break, a move orchestrated by Hoolahan, though the Germans survived without really breaking sweat.
Ireland supporters had more cause to sweat just before the break when Shay Given suffered a injury in the process of a goal kick and had to be replaced by Darren Randolph, the Wicklow man on for his competitive debut.
Time and again, this makeshift Irish back four had to defend for their lives, and it was again all about those all-important blocks. Robbie Brady pulled one off to deny Marco Reus, and Ward put in a tackle to cut out sub Andre Schurrle a minute later, denying what looked like a certain goal, Ward injuring himself in the process.
And then, a minute later, we had it, Long's goal. Not a thing of beauty and a reminder of the Charlton era - big punt up from the keeper, one touch from the striker and a goal - but a thing to behold with Irish eyes, the German players clearly shocked to be a goal down in Dublin, a city where they triumphed 6-1 last time around.
The Germans, upset that their planned Oktoberfest in Dublin was not going to happen, spent the last 15 minutes camped in the Irish half, but that Irish back line protected Randolph and on the occasion when he was needed - to deny Boateng on 81 minutes - the West Ham reserve keeper did the needful.
The playoffs in the bag and automatic qualification a Warsaw win away, Martin O'Neill has finally eared his corn.

Don Mitchell, aka Blip 74 from GOS, gives his thoughts and ideas on what changes and features should be in the next Killzone title.
What the check? I was expecting an article about killzone 4 campaign and how the Helghast would fight back at the ISA instead I got into an online multiplayer wish list for the next killzone bah
very good read. there is no wrong ideas when people are just sharing their thoughts. i would like a medic to get exclusive emblems,cloths,gear and xp. i want a medic to get rewarded for being a good medic. a medic should get a extra health boost for reviving three (Different) people. the health boost or ect will help them stay focus on reviving more people. when a medic revives 5 different people; you get a health grenade or ect that gives a certain amout of health to teammates. At 8 different revives a medic gets a pulse health wave machine or ect. Each of the medic revives streaks rewards comes with a certain xp and different xp. a medic that revives the same person over gets less xp and no revive streak reward.
When a medic is running around killing people with a "sniper rifle" and not reviving people they get less xp for kills then if they revive and diss out health. i do have some balance issue in my medic reward streaks. it just a thought.
I can't wait till the next killzone is released. One thing I would like for the multiplayer is to get rid of the black and white screen when you die. I want to enjoy the 3rd person perspective in color when I die. It takes away from the pretty visuals. Does anyone else feel the same way?
Killzone multiplayer is extremely dry. This is coming from someone who's owned all of them and played the multiplayer from all of them.
Although this has to do more with the players than the multiplayer in some cases. It relies heavy on teamwork which many lack on Killzone unfortunately.
There's barely any community features.... They should take some of the community ideas from Halo and Call of duty, however keep the gameplay simply Killzone.
Just make the mp more like kz2 and I will never stop playing this game ever!!!!!

Long before pigtailed Gidget and the contemporary cult film "Blue Crush," Hawaiian princesses and queens rode the waves like goddesses alongside their kings.
Yes, even in the beginning, women surfed.
To celebrate the longtime history of women in what is often deemed a treacherous, vigorous, yet glorious sport, the California Surf Museum in downtown Oceanside has dedicated its vast showroom into a who's who and what they did and wore in the world of women's surfing in the new Women on Waves exhibit.
"This is the most comprehensive exhibits I have ever seen," said Linda Benson, 55, a legendary professional surfer and Solana Beach resident considered one of the first "surfer girls" in contemporary history. Benson contributed several items to the exhibit.
"They did a beautiful job in showing women in the sport from way back then to now," said Benson, who learned how to surf growing up in Encinitas. She said some people may have misconceptions about female surfers because of the strength needed ---- especially when boards weighed upwards of 80 pounds ---- to hit the waves.
"Women have become fantastic surfers, despite not always having the strength of the men," she added. "We've always been graceful, but we've come a long way."
The exhibit, which opened in early March and will run for a full year, shows that women have really been surfing all along, organizes said..
"When you are looking at the history of women in surfing, you are looking at the history of surfing," said museum President Jim Kempton. "Women have always been there, whether people know that or not ... The sport started among kings and queens of Hawaii, but it was the queens who kept it going."
Designed as a sort of time line of women in surfing, the exhibit winds its way in a sort of maze through the different eras of women in the sport. Starting with Kamenameha The Great, who surfed nude in the waters off Honolulu in the early 19th century, the exhibits rolls through the early days of surfing among Hawaiian royalty.
As the exhibit progresses later into that century and into the early 20th century, photographs capture the giant wooden surfboards and the actual dark, wool bathing suits worn by female surfers. The exhibit gets colorful as it enters the Esther Williams and Marilyn Monroe years, with eye-popping bikinis and bathing suits on mannequins.
Winding its way through the 1960s and into the 1980s ---- introducing the "Golden Girls" and the "'80s ladies" ---- the suits get skimpier and more colorful, as do the photos. Some contemporary gems in the exhibit include the real suits worn by Benson at about the time she performed stunts for the "Gidget" television miniseries.
Also, recently added to the exhibit, is the surfboard then-13-year-old Bethany Hamilton was riding in 2003 in Hawaii, when a shark attacked her, severing her left arm just below the shoulder.
Kempton said the authenticity of the items on display ---- too many to mention ---- is what makes the exhibit shine.
"These are all the real swimsuits worn by these women in competition and in the photographs," he said. "Everything is as real as it gets."
It took about eight months to pull the exhibit together, borrowing items from surf ladies as well as collectors, Kempton said.
"The people who know the history are glad we worked to bring this together," he said. "Those who don't know the history are fascinated."
La Jolla resident Anna Deneen, 75, visited the exhibit recently. More of a beach girl than a surfer girl, Deneen grew up hitting the shore at Wind and Sea Beach.
While her three brothers surfed, she marveled at the sport but took part only "occasionally."
"I have always been impressed with women surfers," she said. "We always knew they were around, but I never considered myself one of them."
Meanwhile, Heather Singerman, who was visiting Oceanside recently from San Francisco, said the exhibit opened her eyes.
"I think the whole sport is impressive," she said. "I've tried surfing, and I was terrified. I commend women who do it. I didn't realize how far this whole thing went back."
Cost to visit the exhibit is $3. Museum is at 312 Pier View Way. For more information, visit: www.surfmusuem.org.

"Cassidy Charette was a 17-year-old Messalonskee High School student when she tragically lost her life in a hayride accident on Oct. 11, 2014. Since then, her community is making it clear that she is not forgotten through multiple fundraisers, awards, dedications and fundraising nearly $200,000 for charitable organizations. Charette attended Hart to Hart Farm Camp for seven summers as a youth, where she "adopted" and cared for sheep, goats, piglets and calves and enjoyed learning about life on a working farm. In her memory, owner s Doug and Linda Hartpkof, and over 100 people in the community, came together to build a three-season, fully functional kitchen that will be used for educational programming when campers return this summer in June."

Doug and Linda, just heard a story about your event honoring Cassidy Charrette. I was thinking it was a wonderful event but then they mentioned Hart to Hart in Albion and I realized it must be you two! I saw Karen Betts at the women's march in Augusta and we were reminiscing about Patch House days. I decided to look you up and found this website…and watched a video of Linda talking about FarmCamp; Linda other than your hair being longer,you look same as you did in the 80's and your laugh is just as I remember it! Would love to see you guys… maybe we could have a mini patch house reunion? Saw Mary Maclean last summer and she's going to be with us for a few days this summer. Meantime sending love and hugs to two of my favorites from Orono days!

Modi gets lesser sleep: Obama
New Delhi: US President Barack Obama Sunday said he and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared notes on how much sleep they get, and revealed that "Modi gets lesser sleep".
Replying to a question about what the two leaders discussed during their meeting earlier in the day, Obama said it was not possible to reveal the content of their talks.
"But we did discuss how much sleep we were getting," Obama joked at the end of a joint press conference at Hyderabad House here, while Modi laughed at the revelation.
Obama said this was probably because PM Modi was still new at his job and after a few years, Modi will probably get an extra hour of sleep.

I think it certainly influences who we are, but it is not an excuse for poor behavior. People tend to be victims when it gets them out of personal accountability. How many stories have you heard of people who do terrible things and then it is said "oh, but he had a horrible childhood".... Well yes, I can see that it contributed. As an adult however, we make choices and if we see a cycle repeating, then we are accountable to stop that cycle. I was an abused and bullied child who was often neglected. I chose to stop that cycle and I ensure my children are supported and nurtured, with strong guidelines and positive discipline. I don't call my kids names, toss them down the stairs by their hair, or turn them into emotional punching bags as what happened to me. Had I been an abuser myself, I supposed I would have had a convenient excuse, but it wouldn't have made it any less terrible or made me any less guilty.

Of course. We are 60-80% our surroundings growing up. The rest we were born with.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
Can't you choose though how you act and what decisions you make as an adult regardless of your childhood?
Yes, you can choose. However, your choices are based on what you know which comes from your childhood and surroundings. So it is still based off your youth. Even so, your moods are also very important.
In some cases it does depending on what happened during their childhood. Most people do what they learn as children. For instance, if a child grows up in a home where cursing is the norm, there is a chance they will curse/swear as an adult.
If a child was abused (being slapped or hit), there is a chance he/she will become abusive (not always the case but likely).
In some cases it's different as tragedy or other life changing events can cause the person to be totally different from what they knew as a child. For example, my fiancé hates alcohol because his mother was an alcoholic.
As I said before it all depends on the adult and their childhood and how it affected them.
When an adult acts a certain way there is a chance that something happened in the past (childhood or adulthood) to cause them to behave that way, especially if they have that baggage carrying around.
In a positive light, I still do things the way I was taught as a child. So my mannerisms and character are a reflection of that childhood.

The impact is inevitable, such that your question took me aback, somewhat. If you are born into economic means, you will surely experience a different life than another who spent his early years (and probably the present as well) dirt poor. If you grew up with a sibling with a disability, you are far more likely to learn to be compassionate, and, as I've seen with private joy, an acquired toughness and eyes that can go from gentle and patient to steely and "Try it. See what happens" expression as fierce as said sibling's almost too-"triggerable" fire upon any transgression against their "special" sibling who, to them, is their brother/sister before anything else, and somebody they love in that often extra strong, extra protective family unit that can circle the wagons against bullying and "adult" mountains wrt insurance, therapies, and a level of expertise achieved by necessity that is worthy and equal to Bachelors, even Masters and higher level college study.
A child who grows up in that environment very likely learns some degree of self-sufficiency WAY early, as well as patience, empathy, and even an internalized identification as part of a larger unit - a larger community.
Heh....boy took THAT scenario pretty far. I think the way our childhood effects us is just as thoroughly, if maybe with some less drama or so obviously attributable personality, identity, and life course.
Sadly, a childhood of neglect and abuse can produce as much strife, anger, anxiety, violence, even criminality as the above likely produces an adult with patience, resolve, a keen sense of personal, familial and social responsibility, and a skillset, social facility and drive that can only make the world a better place.
Most childhoods are much more mundane than either case, but a kid, say, who grows up in a musical family (or experiences) is more likely to find him/herself drawn to the arts professionally. Same goes for athletics, extreme focus on academics, even growing up with a military parent, and ever more so if your family endured many deployments.
Whew.... anyway....yeah, I think some effect is inevitable.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
to some degree, yes- a person is the product of their experiences.
I do, however, believe too many people use "bad childhoods" as a "convenient excuse" for wrongdoing in later life.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
I agree Starmom. The "I had a bad childhood" excuse is not acceptable in some situations. No one had a perfect childhood, we're all dysfunctional. Some people just refuse to acknowledge it.
I wouldn't say everybody's dysfunctional, more like most people learn to take the bad with the good & not let the bad be their driving force.

Theoretically, the refusing owner will get the "standard" lease royalties, but the developer has no obligation to find you to give you a check.
You're correct though. A mineral owner who doesn't want to produce will be "force pooled". Corporation commission will force their interest to be produced to accomodate everyone else who wants to produce. The person being force pooled will be given a deal by the operator that is equal to the best deal that operator has given anyone else in the same or neighboring counties. One advantage to not signing a lease. You're guaranteed the best "deal" financial, if you make the commission force pool you.
What I mean is no one has to lease to a producer. Everyone has the right to participate in the well as a working interest owner. But you're correct... you generally have to do one of those two options if everyone else wants too.

Extremists from the Islamic State group have launched an attack on the Syrian border town of Kobani from Turkey – a first in the ongoing siege, a Kurdish official and activists say.
Nawaf Khalil, a spokesman for Syria's powerful Kurdish Democratic Union Party, says Islamic State group militants in Turkey attacked the border crossing point that links the country to Kobani.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Khalil said the offensive began with an armoured vehicle suicide attack on the border crossing.
There was no immediate comment from Ankara.
The Islamic State group began its Kobani offensive in mid-September. The town later became the focus of air strikes by the US-led coalition against the militants.
The Observatory said the latest fighting has killed eight Kurdish fighters and 17 jihadis.

"The Infamous Harley Quinn" a.k.a. Australian cosplayer Laura Gilbert has risen quickly to the top of the Harley Quinn cosplay mountain (and trust me, this mountain is larger than you may think). This credit can be due to her stunning similarity in looks to Margot Robbie and her dead-on portrayal of Robbie's Harley Quinn. It's also worth noting that she is incredibly humble for the amount of fame she currently has.
Recently, Laura was kind enough to answer a few questions I had for her regarding her cosplay life and her advice she has for those looking to join the world of costume-clad, heroes, heroins and villains.
BT: What originally got you inspired to join the world of cosplay?
"I have always enjoyed dressing up, but never had the guts to cosplay at a convention. I bought tickets to Sydney Comic-Con and told myself I would go to my first 'con' regardless if I cosplayed or not! I was originally planning on going as Daenerys Targaryen from 'Game of Thrones,' but after watching 'Suicide Squad' I fell absolutely in love with Margot's portrayal of Harley and there was no looking back."
BT: So, your Harley Quinn look is quickly becoming well-known due to your similarities to Margot Robbie, what are your thoughts on that?
"I personally don't feel like I resemble Margot without Harley's hair and makeup! I was actually rather surprised when people started saying I looked like Margot because she is an absolute goddess. It is an insanely huge compliment and I don't feel like I will ever get my head around it!"
BT: Does it feel sort of cool to achieve this level of a celebrity?
"I never expected my social media to explode like this. I do not feel like a 'celebrity.' I am still plain old Laura! I must say it has been really challenging to keep up with it all. Being a full-time student, part-time teacher and avid musician, I have hardly had time to even think about it."
BT: What's your favorite part of cosplaying thus far?
"Meeting the beautiful people! It is a surreal feeling seeing peoples faces light up when they see me, especially the children! It is so awesome meeting Harley Quinn fans as well because I am a huge fan girl too."
BT: What's your biggest tip for those aspiring to cosplay Harley Quinn?
"Make sure you act just as crazy and bubbly as Harley! That definitely adds to the whole package and it will shine through past the costume!"
BT: Are there any other characters that you wish to cosplay?
"So many! I definitely want to try and cosplay as many versions of Harley as I can before I move onto different characters. I would love to explore cosplaying more women from the DC universe too because DC girls rock!"
BT: Will you be coming to America anytime soon?
"I wish! It would be an absolute dream to. Unfortunately, student life makes for a very tight budget so once I save enough; it is definitely my No. 1 destination!"
BT: What's the hardest part of being a cosplayer?
"I am extremely new to cosplay so I am still learning things about the community, conventions and cosplay in general. The hardest part for me so far has been juggling my normal life with cosplay life. It can be very expensive and time consuming if you're not careful!"
BT: Lastly, a very important question (and I'm sure many fans want to know) is will you be participating in Harleyween, the name for this year's Halloween?
"Yes and no. I have something in the works. It will be Harley inspired, but that is all I will say! I just hope I can get it all ready in time. If not, I will definitely debut it soon!"
Sounds like Laura has a lot in store for us! To stay updated with her follow her on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat: lauragbert!

After four of eight rounds, Richards leads the national series with 105 points, with nearest challenger Mark Noske now on 83 points following the loss of six points he had earned at Queensland Raceway on July 2.
Following rulings on car eligibility matters by CAMS hearings in Melbourne and Brisbane last week, two-time GTP champion Richards will be under heavy pressure to defend his advantage when the second half of the 2000 series starts at Oran Parkon July 28-30.
Before round five, CAMS and series organiser PROCAR Australia expect to have introduced a new system for dealing with the eligibility of cars needing to use non-original parts to remain in competition.
Oran Park has attracted a record 25 entries, including Noske's Prancing Horse Racing team Ferrari 360 Modena Challenge, which the CAMS stewards found was technically ineligible when it competed in a race at Queensland Raceway with a non-original radiator, fitted to repair crash damage.
Noske was excluded from the race results, costing him six points for his fifth-place finish, and fined $500.
A similar protest against Ross Palmer Motorsport's Darren Palmer found his Ferrari had used a non-original radiator and starter ring gear.
Palmer was excluded from the results of two races, losing five points and relegating him from eighth to ninth in the championship standings. He also was fined $500.
Richards survived a protest against the eligibility of his Porsche GT3, as did a second Ross Palmer Ferrari driven by Wayne Park.
It had been alleged Park's car used non-genuine parts in the conversion from a semi-automatic clutchless gearchange to a conventional manual shift mechanism.
The CAMS decisions have clarified the issue of fitting non-genuine parts when factory originals are not available for some of the exotic cars competing in the GTP Nations Cup.
GTP Nations Cup category manager Steve Bettes said a proposal was before the CAMS Motor Racing Committee to allow non-genuine, non-performance enhancing parts made to mechanically identical specifications, if it could be shown Bettes said he was confident the new arrangements would be in place in time for Oran Park.
The instances discussed in the CAMS hearings had been the result of factory-made radiators, ring gear and gearchange components not being available for the $350,000 limited-production Ferrari Challenge.
Meguiar's Top Marques Drivers Championship points (after Rd 4, revised): 1. Jim Richards - 105; 2. Mark Noske - 83; 3. Paul Stokell - 71; 4. Peter Fitzgerald - 63; 5. Mark Williamson - 49; 6. Wayne Park - 44.

* Euro hits lowest since early October versus dollar
* Italian yields soar after weak auction
* Safe-haven flows buoy dollar; Swiss franc tumbles (Updates prices, adds comment, details)
By Wanfeng Zhou
NEW YORK, Nov 25 (Reuters) - The euro fell to its lowest in more than seven weeks against the U.S. dollar on Friday and was set to weaken further as a disappointing Italian auction stoked fears the euro zone crisis was deepening.
Italy paid a record 6.5 percent to borrow money over six months on Friday and its longer-term funding costs soared far above levels that are seen as sustainable. The rise in borrowing costs came even as the European Central Bank bought bonds in the secondary market.
Signs the euro zone debt crisis was threatening the region's biggest economies such as France and Germany have raised fears of a breakup of the currency bloc. Policymakers remained in disagreement over how to resolve the crisis, with Germany opposed to joint euro zone bonds and a bigger role for the ECB.
"Confidence in the region diminishes while the outlook for a solution to the crisis seems as far away as it has ever been," said Brendan McGrath, senior analyst at Western Union Business Solutions in Victoria, British Columbia.
The euro EUR= fell 0.7 percent to $1.3255, having dropped as low as $1.3210, based on Reuters data, its lowest since Oct. 4.
Key support lies around $1.3144, the euro's October low, followed by $1.3045, the 61.8 percent retracement of its 2010-2011 rally.
The euro has lost about 1.8 percent this week, on track for a fourth straight week of losses. It came under heavy pressure after lackluster demand at a German bond auction on Wednesday.
Italy's two-year yield rose to a euro-era high above 8 percent and 10-year yields traded above 7 percent, a level that is seen as unsustainable. IT2YT=TWEBIT10YT=TWEB Belgian bonds were also under pressure ahead of auctions next week.
Strains in the money market added to investor concerns. The euro/dollar one-year cross currency basis swap EURCBS1Y=ICAP, which widens when lenders charge more for swapping euro interest payments on an underlying asset into dollars, was at minus 104 basis points -- close to expensive levels of minus 115 bps in late 2008.
The dollar rose as high as 79.702 versus a currency basket .DXY, the highest since early October, as investors sought the liquidity and perceived safety of the U.S. currency.
"Unless we see firm action from European authorities, the market is betting the worst is about to happen and the dollar is therefore well bid on demand for liquidity," said Jane Foley, currency strategist at Rabobank.
Against the yen, the dollar rose 0.8 percent to 77.67 JPY= after hitting a two-week high of 77.73, according to Reuters data.
The euro hit a seven-week low of 102.46 yen EURJPY= based on Reuters data, before rebounding to 102.86, flat on the day.
The Swiss franc tumbled against the dollar and euro on speculation the Swiss National Bank may raise the ceiling on euro/Swiss franc from the current 1.20 level.
The dollar rose to 0.9330 Swiss franc CHF=, a near 8-month high and last traded up 1 percent at 0.92890. It was on track for a gain of 1.3 percent this week, its fourth straight weekly advance.
The euro rose 0.3 percent to 1.2306 francs EURCHF=, after hitting a session high of 1.2380. (Additional reporting by Richard Leong in New York and Neal Armstrong in London; editing by Editing by Andrew Hay )

Review for Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation, Santa Barbara, CA, USA
This organization provides a life-line to so many families facing the heartbreaking challenge of a child with cancer.

Locals on Tap in Nadi
Nadi, Fiji
From USD 25.00
Office phone number: +679 865 1146
Culture shock rating
Worried we're going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We've got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don't worry, you'll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that's on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you'll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
You're out there in the global community! We're going to take you down streets you'd rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it's worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we've got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

Went to Kum Ryong @ 32nd for lunch but noticed this dish was different from the last time I visited several months ago. (This is #10 on their menu, "spicy seafood noodle".)
Noodles were the smaller ramen- instead of the udon-sized variety... although my memory could be faulty here, I do remember their Jampong having thicker noodles. Broth was better, spicier but richer in flavor. More squid but no clam.
The improvement in the broth didn't offset my disappointment at the noodles, which were too soggy.
Any other recommendations for good Jampong in the city?

Unfortunately the Americans have never been smart enough to figure out that the best way to discourage illegal immigration from Mexico, is to make it more attractive for the Mexicans to stay home.
This would have meant that instead of investing billions on dollars on silly failed schemes like this, they should have helped the Mexican government improve the standard of living for their people. It would have cost less, and been the more effective and charitable solution.
Unfortunately, with the rampant drug and gang problems in Mexico now, it may be too late......

I'd love to have a way to disable Ping, or even better remove it from my iTunes. I regret installing the "upgrade" that forced this retarded bloat on me. It's a completely useless annoyance, and will always be. I don't care if the unwashed masses of social networking sheep know what I'm listening to, nor do I have any desire to share that information.

Targeted advertising will NEVER work
It can only take into account WHAT people are searching for, but has no way of knowing the WHY.
Although the marketing morons all believe that if you plug a query into a search engine it MUST mean that you want to buy it.
Targeted advertising is simply corporate stalking, and should be just as illegal as other types of stalking, because it is just as creepy and offensive.
Adobe fixes critical Shockwave bugs with neanderthal patch
The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.

Google inspires behavioral ad-zapping Firefox add-on
Just another one who believes the hype
No, it DOESN'T work.
It feels creepy and stalkerish.
It's offensive.
It DOESN'T work, because it ignores the WHY in favour of the WHAT. Until the idiots who compose this offensive creepy stalkerish stuff understand WHY people are clicking on what they are clicking, it will never be in any way effective. And there is no way to write an algorithm to tell them WHY.
An ad will much more often put me off of some product or company than it will entice me to buy from them. My reaction to about 90% of advertising generally somewhere includes the thought "Who was the braindead moron?!!!"
Keep drinking the Coolaid Mr. Hill, I hope you're happy being any apologist for the MARKETING MORONS. I pity you, and your ignorance.

President Bush delivered a short but effective speech last night that reviewed the military progress made in Iraq, explained why this progress now allows the beginning of a drawdown of U.S. troops, and reminded Americans of what is at stake in Iraq. He announced that 5,700 of the 21,500 combat troops participating in the "surge" would be home for Christmas, several months before they were scheduled to return. U.S. troops, he stressed, would "return on success" according to the situation in Iraq, not on timetables arbitrarily determined by Washington politicians.
Gains on the Ground
The President sought to capitalize on the recent shift of momentum in the Iraq debate caused by the improving military situation in Iraq. This week's marathon of congressional hearings featuring General David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker has helped to crystallize a consensus in Washington that the military situation in Iraq is improving. Now President Bush seeks to move quickly to shore up public support for following through with the new counter-insurgency strategy developed and implemented by General Petraeus.
Bush noted, "Our military commanders believe we can succeed. Our diplomats believe we can succeed. And for the safety of future generations of Americans, we must succeed." Failure in Iraq would be a victory for al-Qaeda and Iran and a humanitarian catastrophe for the Iraqi people, and it would unleash dangerous forces that would threaten the security of America and its allies.
Much of the President's speech focused on the hard-won gains in security inside Iraq, particularly in regions where the surge was concentrated: in Baghdad and the surrounding areas, as well as in Anbar Province, a former stronghold of the insurgency. As General Petraeus testified, overall levels of violence are down, particularly in recent weeks. Civilian deaths have declined by 45 percent since December 2006. Car bombings and suicide attacks have steadily declined from 175 in March to 90 last month.
Radical Shia militias have gone to ground and many of their leaders have been killed, captured, or gone into hiding. Al-Qaeda terrorists in Iraq have repeatedly been hit hard and driven out of many of their former sanctuaries. As General Petraeus said, "The military objectives of the surge are, in large measure, being met."
Stalled Political Progress
The debate over Iraq is now shifting from the military situation to how to consolidate the military gains and transform them into political progress. While the surge is increasingly recognized as a success, many wonder if it will clear the way for the sustained Iraqi political reconciliation that is necessary to stabilize Iraq.
President Bush confronted the problem head on: "The government has not met its own legislative benchmarks, and in my meetings with Iraqi leaders, I have made it clear that they must." He gave little specifics about how this would be done, except to say that "local reconciliation is taking place. The key now is to link this progress in the provinces to progress in Baghdad. As local politics change, so will national politics."
Multiple Audiences
This speech was designed with multiple audiences in mind. The primary audience was the American people, to whom he offered a clear rationale for continuing the war effort: "In Iraq, an ally of the United States is fighting for its survival. Terrorists and extremists who are at war with us around the world are seeking to topple Iraq's government, dominate the region and attack us here at home."
For those who argue that the Iraqi struggle is merely a civil war, he invoked 9/11, implicitly reminding his audience that those terrorist attacks came from a country embroiled in civil war that the United States had neglected. "A free Iraq," the President explained, "will deny al-Qaeda a safe haven" and be a partner to the U.S. in the war on terrorism.
He held out an olive branch to Members of Congress: "Let us come together on a policy of strength in the Middle East. I thank you for providing crucial funds and resources for our military. And I ask you to join me in supporting the recommendations General Petraeus has made, and the troop levels he has asked for."
He appealed to Iraq's "peaceful neighbors" (which excludes Iran and Syria) and to the international community to do more to help the beleaguered Iraqis.
And he ended on a note of determination: "Some say the gains we are making in Iraq come too late. They are mistaken. It is never too late to deal a blow to al-Qaeda. It is never too late to advance freedom. And it is never too late to support our troops in a fight they can win."
But success depends ultimately on the vicissitudes of Iraqi politics. If Iraqi political leaders continue to squander valuable time, the fanatic Sunni and Shia militants will eventually relight the fuse of a bloody sectarian meltdown. Bush should remind Iraq's political leaders that if they cannot work out how to live together soon, the next President may not be as committed to carrying a heavy burden to preserve a united Iraq.

The Nanban team already have some big names in Ilayathalapathy Vijay,Jeeva, hot and happening Ileana and director Shankar himself heading the star crew. Earlier we had announced SJ Suryah reprising Javed Jaffrey's role in the Tamil version and now we hear, there are some fresh new faces joining the Nanban team.
Raghava Lawrence who hit the bull's-eye with his latest offering Kanchana now boards the Nanban ship to bring in that 'extra something'. Lawrence appears in a cameo role alongside the rest of the illustrious Nanban cast. Director Shankar's new surprise package also promises to bring in his choreographing skills with his late entry, do the Nanban sets having joined the director earlier for many projects. Just recently actor Jeeva was reportedly miffed with rest of his Nanban team's indifferent attitude as they failed to arrive at his Rowthiram audio launch event in spite being invited by the production house people. Howsoever the Nanban team is pulling things up and the shoots are in full swing according to our sources at the sets.
Hope Raghava Lawrence brings back the lost cheer.

Though the stated formulae, calculations and hardware devices are dedicated to the '110V world' only the theory behind is applicable to the rest of us with ease. Source: OverClockers.com

Hocus Pocus is the fictional autobiography of a West Point graduate who was in charge of the humiliating evacuation of U.S. personnel from the Saigon rooftops at the close of the Vietnam War. Returning home from the war, he unknowingly fathered an illegitimate son. In 2001, the son begins a search for his father and catches up with him just in time to see him arrested for masterminding the prison break of 10,000 convicts.
Using his famous brand of satire and wit, Vonnegut captures twenty-first century America as only he could foresee it. In Hocus Pocus, listeners will find a fresh novel, as fascinating and brilliantly offbeat as anything he's written.
It is the most richly detailed and textured of Mr. Vonnegut's renderings of this particular planet. Unlike many of his major characters, Hartke seems like a real person, and Scipio seems like a real town. Some readers may miss the wilder leaps of imagination and the whimsy, but what is gained is a muscular dignity of voice that only rarely is tendentious. And, like outer space in The Sirens of Titan, Hocus Pocus is not without ''empty heroics, low comedy, and pointless death.''

The Colosseum
The Substructure
This is the substructure of the Colosseum, sub means under so this was underneath the actual arena. In this area, the animals, gladiators, prisoners, and props were kept locked up. When it was time for them to enter the arena, the people and animals would be brought up using a lift, which is a basic elevator.
Checkpoint #1
Please go to your Colosseum and Gladiators questions and respond to the questions under Checkpoint 1
The Arena
The events took place in the sand arena, they used to sand so they could soak up the blood from the fighters. Romans hated mixing groups, so the spectators (viewers) were separated by rank. Senators and rich people in the front seats, plebeians sat above them, and women were the all the way at the top. The section for women was divided by class as well.

Checkpoint #2
Please go to your Colosseum and Gladiators questions and respond to the questions under Checkpoint 1
At some events, men would fight fierce animals like lions and alligators. The more interesting and exotic these animals were to the ancient Romans, the more they liked the contest. Before combat, the animals were treated very badly. They were beaten and starved so they would be especially mean. Usually, the men won, but sometimes the animals won, and the Romans found that especially exciting. However these fighters were not the famous gladiators.
The Events
The Events
The gladiators fought other gladiators. The fights were not like you see in the movies. In ancient Rome, the gladiator battle was not always or even often to the death. This does not mean a gladiators life was easy. Their life was not easy at all. Some people chose to become gladiators. Others were slaves, forced into the sport, and usually found themselves the loser. Most gladiators were a little chubby, although they were in excellent condition. They wanted extra body weight to help protect themselves when they were stabbed or hit. They were stabbed and hit a lot. But gladiators who won most of their matches were famous. The crowds would cheer when they entered the arena.
The Events
As time went on, the bloody fights became more organized. Gladiators were pitted against other gladiators their own size, who had won a similar number of battles. This converted the sport into competitions. There were a few women who were gladiators, and they fought other women. Referees were added to monitor the fight. A referee could stop the fight at any time, and usually did when one gladiator was injured. Sometimes, fights went on for quite a while. If the crowd got bored, the referee might call the fight a drawn. If the emperor was in attendance, he might ask the crowd for a decision on whether or not to kill the loser, but people had their favorites. They wanted their gladiators alive, so they could fight again another day.
