British Thatcher class Land Attack Destroyer:
Although the Audacious class Frigates performed well, and their M.D.C. conversion was progressing satisfactory, the Royal Navy of the sixties needed a new class of ships for the fleet. Some of the Daring class Destroyers were also being converted to M.D.C. ships, but it was clear that a new, more capable class of ships was needed. Since the Audacious class had shown that the Trimaran hullform was a reliable shape for a ship, it was decided that the new ships would also be Trimarans, and that they would borrow many of the design characteristics of the Audacious class.
At the same time it was recognized that although some of the new ships would have to be primarily airdefense ships, some would have to perform land-attack missions to support marine landings. Although it was at first envisioned that both missions would be performed by the same ships, it became clear that the old saying "Jack of all trades, Master of none" still held true. Ultimately two different designs were born, both sharing a common hull, propulsion system, engineering, and many weapons, yet quite different in ultimate capabilities (and cost). The Thatcher class ships were to have mostly land attack capabilities.
The Thatcher was a sleek trimaran, with her two secondary hulls set about halfway her main hull. Her deckhouse was a single massive block, upon which the radar tower of a Audacious with its mini-Sampson array was set. Behind the deckhouse there was a large flightdeck, very suitable for the four large Merlin helicopters the class would carry. At the rear of the ship there was a deck for a large towed passive sonar array. The ship was powered from the outset by nuclear gas turbines and an indirect electric propulsion. All in all she looked quite a bit like a enlarged Audacious class, which in actuality she was: In order to speed up the design process much of the layout and systems of the ship had been taken from the previous class of trimarans. The most visible outward changes apart from size were the addition of a Surface Search radar, and two 155 mm cannons located forward and aft, and the adoption of a clipper bow to improve seakeeping. The Audacious class had proven to be good but rather wet seaboats.
The weapons fit was very complete, much like that of the Audacious Class. The Thatcher carried two 155 mm cannons for fire support, one forward, one aft and a 48 cell MK-41 Tactical length (short) VLS for its medium and long range missiles in front of the bridge, and two 32 cell MK-41 Strategic length (long) VLS systems for anti surface missiles mounted in the superstructure (one over each secondary hull). There were three combination railgun / missile launcher units of American design for close in defense. Solely for anti ship purposes there were also eight Long Range Missile tubes located on the superstructure, between the radar towers. These were loaded with surface skimming missiles. Lastly the ship carried two 30 mm cannons, and two double tubed torpedo launchers.
To complement this weapons fit there was room for up to 160 Marines and their power armors.
The electronics fit was also quite impressive. The main radar was a slightly simplified (mini) Sampson phased array radar, which had excellent range and power. Complementing this was a reduced Marconi/Signaal Air/Surface search radar, with good tracking capabilities. There was a Ferranti bow sonar, and a very large passive towed array sonar. A good ECM suite was also fitted. All of this made the ship very well equipped for both anti submarine operations and Air Defense.
The ship carried a number of small vehicles including four medium zodiac style boats, and four Merlin helicopters either fitted for ASW operations or variants for troop and material transport. The larger amount of helicopters and marines (in comparising to the Hood class ships) was made possible by having a larger hangar. Instead of the Merlins the Thatchers can also carry three Chinook helicopters. This seldomly done, because the hangar is then severely crowded, and maintenance work is hampered.
Ultimately three batches of three ships each would be build of these proud and powerful ships.
The nine ships of the Thatcher class served with various small upgrades until the beginning of the third Falklands war in 2073, which was to end Argentine as both a military and a economic world power. At the time all but three of the Destroyers were at sea. The Thatcher, the Churchill and the Blair were all attached to the Taskforce escorting the Ark Royal, and at the time it was believed that the entire force was lost due to a limited Argentinian nuclear strike, whereas in reality the nuclear explosion triggered a leyline storm which projected the entire taskforce into the Rifts era.

[1] Destroying both Sampson and S1650M Air Search System radar system will eliminate the ship's long range air search ability but weapon systems have backup fire control systems. Both air search systems are separate so both systems are not likely to be disabled from a single hit.
[2] Destroying the main body causes the ship to lose structural integrity, causing the ship to sink. If the Secondary Hulls are still intact, the ship will sink very slowly and will take a full twenty four hours to sink. This may give the ships crew time to patch the damage to an extent that the ship will float but all propulsion will be destroyed but the ship may be repairable. There are enough life preservers and inflatable life boats to accommodate everyone on the ship.
[3] Destruction of one secondary hull will reduce stability and negate bonuses due to quiet design and for piloting. Destruction of both secondary hulls will give the ship a -20% penalty to piloting and give a bonus of +20% to be detected. Ships speed is also reduced to 30 knots (34.5 mph/ 55.6 kph)
Surface: 60 knots (69 mph / 111.1 kph)
Maximum Effective Range: Unlimited due to fusion engines (needs to refuel every 20 years and requires maintenance as well). Ship carries six months of supplies and consumables on board.
Statistical Data:
Length: 615 feet (184.5 meters)
Height: 118 feet (35.4 meters)
Width: 110 feet (33 meters)
Displacement: 9,500 tons standard and 12,100 tons fully loaded
Cargo: 720 tons of nonessential equipment and supplies. Each enlisted crew member has a small locker for personal items and uniforms. Ships officers have more space for personal items. Most of the ships spaces are take up by extra ammo, armor, troops, weapons, and engines.
Power System: Nuclear Turbines, average life span is 20 years
Market Cost: Not available.
- Two (2) Vickers 6.1 inch/55 MK 3 Naval Guns: This gun was designed in the early days of the century, and was designed to replace the old 4.5 inch naval gun. It features increased reliability and firepower, is fully automated, and is usually aimed by radar. The latest version of this gun made use of advanced M.D.C. materials, and used a Electrothermal Cannon which used a vaporizing dot of metal to propel its projectiles, at considerable savings in munition size and weight.The gun can be used against other ships, against ground targets, and against aircraft. The use of rocket assisted projectiles is also possible. One turret is located in front of the large MK-41 launcher, while the other is located aft, just before the towed sonar array. The turret can rotate 360 and has a 90 arc of fire.
- Three (3) Mk 44 "Sea Sabre" Combination Anti-Missile Defense Systems: Bought from the United States as a replacement for aging systems like the Sea RAM and Phalanx CIWS. One is mounted over the bridge, while the other two are located on the sides of the ships superstructure, next to the long range radar. These anti-missile defense systems combine both a rapid fire rail gun and a short range missile launcher. While mounted in one system, both defense systems have separate tracking systems. The short range missile launchers can target up four targets and can fire a volley up too twice per melee. The railgun is capable of destroying any missile or inflicting serious damage on aircraft. The rail gun can fire on automatic at up to six targets per melee (Has +3 to strike missile and +2 to strike aircraft). The system can also be used against other ships and ground targets. The system has a 360 degree rotation and can elevate up to 90 degrees to fire at targets directly overhead.
- MK-41 Tactical 48 Cell VLS (1): A very reliable VLS launcher, dating back from the previous century, made in the USA, and exported to numerous countries. The tactical length version could not carry Cruise Missiles, and on the Thatcher was used to house both Surface to Air and surface to surface missiles of various sizes.
- MK-41 Strategic 32 Cell VLS (2): A American design which was much more flexible than the French Sylver launcher of the same period, the Strategic length VLS cells could hold either a single Cruise Missile, two Long range missiles, or four medium range missiles. On the Thatcher these cells carried LRMs and CMs for Surface to Surface engagements.
- Long Range Missile Canister Launchers (8): These launchers are special canisters mounted in two quadruple mounts on the superstructure, just aft of the Sampson Radar Array. These canisters were copied from Old United States Harpoon canister launchers. While the launchers are reusable, they are still inexpensive and are easily jettisoned if damaged. While any long range missile type can be carried, usually special surface skimming missiles will be carried in launchers and are used against surface targets only.
- 30 mm cannons (2): Two 30 mm cannons were mounted on the superstructure, next to the bridge. These weapons had a good range and rate of fire, but lacked the punch to do damage to large targets. Since they were manually aimed, they were little good against missiles, and the crew often joked that they were only good for "Shooting life boats and survivors in the water".
- Two (2) Torpedo Launchers: Mainly design for anti-submarine warfare but can be used against surface targets. There is on launcher one ach side of the ship. Each torpedo launcher has 2 torpedo tubes and has automatic reload systems. Ship carries caries 80 reloads for torpedoes.
- Sea Gnat Chaff Launchers (4): Located on the superstructure of the ship slightly beneath and below the side CIWS, they are designed to confuse incoming missiles.
The turrets can rotate 360 degrees and have a 90 degree arc of fire.

Maximum Effective Range: Not Applicable
Payload: 1, with five more as reloads. It takes three minutes (twelve melees) to reel out another decoy.
Special Systems:
The ship has all systems standard on a robot vehicle plus the following special features:
- Marconi/Signaal S1650M Air/Surface Search Radar: Long range air search radar system. Radar system has a range of 380 nautical miles (426.4 miles / 684.1 km). Radar system can track up to 480 targets simultaneously.
- BAE Systems Mini Sampson Phased Array Radar System: Powerful and flexible radar system which is comprised of a single array on top of the mainmast. It is controlled by a powerful computer. If allowed by the horizon, the system can track out to 175 nautical miles (201.4 miles / 324.1 km) and can simultaneously track and identify up to 360 targets at one time. The system controls missiles launched from the VLS launchers and the system tracks and guides each individual missile to a individual target for up to 60 targets. If a target is eliminated, missiles are automatically guided to a new target. The system can also control missiles launched from other linked vessels as well and can also act as fire control for gun mounts.
- Signaal Sirius IRST Long range infrared tracking system. Consists of two high powered passive infrared cameras capable of scanning up to 80 miles (128 km) range. Each camera is computer controlled, and the system can track 24 targets simultaneously. The system gives a +10% to read sensory rolls.
- Ferranti/Thomson Sintra 2050 sonar: Mounted under the bow of the ship. Sonar system has a range of around 24 nautical miles (27.6 miles / 44.6 km). This hull sonar system has both a passive and active system built in. Sonar system can track up to 32 targets at one time.
- Advanced Towed Array Sonar System: The system is basically a long and very sensitive sonar system carried behind the ship on a long cable. Range of 100 miles (86.9 nm / 160.9 km). This towed array sonar system has both a passive and active system built in. Sonar system can track up to 64 targets at one time.
- Sonar Masking System: The hull is designed to minimize noise from the hull and uses water bubbles to form a barrier against sonar as well. Gives a -20% penalty to any Read Sensory Instrument rolls to detect this ship using sonar..
- Radar Defeating Profile: The ship superstructure is designed so that the radar profile of the ship is reduced. Because of this, attempts to detect the ship using radar are made with a -20% penalty to read sensor rolls when attempting to detect this ship. Go to General Detection Penalties for more information on penalties and bonuses to do with stealth.
- Combination Radar Detectors and Active Jamming System: Combination of radar detection system (ESM) and an active jamming system. The system can detect another radar system at 125% of the range of the transmitting radar. In jamming mode, causes -25% to detection but when it is active,other vehicles / bases can detect that it is jamming, and some missiles will home in on jamming signals. Jamming also causes a -4 penalty to all radar guided weapons.
- +20% to Piloting Rolls

Sites in Rathnew, Kildare and Drogheda have been earmarked as Passive "Power" House Developments where zero energy houses will generate sufficient excess energy to power the electric car and pay the mortgage. Passive Houses are highly insulated, airtight, cold bridge free structures with triple glazing and HRV, so they require minimal heating. Tri-Solar Roofs will transform these Passive Houses into Energy+ Houses, generating sufficient excess energy to power an electric car. The 4kW Micro 91°C AE Digester-Fuel Celsl fitted into every house will eliminate the sewage connections and transform the Energy+ Houses into a Passive "Power" Houses, generating sufficient excess revenue to pay the mortgage.
Construction will start Spring 2015 on the Rathnew Energy+ Community consisting of 155 Solar Enhanced Passive Houses manufactured in our factory in Tipperary with integrated Tri-Solar roofs generating all the energy required by the house and an electric car. The Courtyards, Rathnew, County Wicklow, is an infill residential site of 11 acres located 46km south of Dublin with full planning permission. Expressions of interest are currently being accepted at prices similar to building regs B2 rated houses with running costs of £1,250+ per annum. The neighbouring Housing Estate consisting of 300 houses will also be renovated to Energy+ standards using ZED train Technology to create a full Energy Plus Community consisting of 450+ houses.
A proposed new train station beside the Courtyards Energy+ Community will deliver inhabitants to the centre of Dublin, a Fibre Optic cable will provide swift internet access for those working from home.
The houses are being built to top environmental standards, Passivhaus and Sonnenhaus Energy+ standard. Designed by ZED factory Architects using natural or recycled materials. They will be south facing so full of natural light and warmed by the sun. Top-notch insulation and draught proofing mean homes generate much more energy than they use. Solar will supply heating and hot water and electricity will be supplied by photovoltaic panels. The way the homes are built is only one aspect of the sustainability of the project.
"You can build a beautiful eco house and live in it, but there is a limit to what you can do as a single family. You need a community to go that bit further, its much easier to be sustainable collectively. We can share better quality, more energy efficient washing machines rather than each having our own machine. Food has a big environmental impact, so does transport, and things like the shared meals, bicycle facilities and car pool will help take the hard work out of green living." "If you are surrounded by like-minded people, you don't feel like you are out on a limb. It feels natural to talk about where food will be sourced, or what sort of kettle you should buy in terms of how efficient it is, who made it and where, and hopefully that impact will rub off on friends and visitors too."
"The biggest motivator is building something that will enable us to live much greener lifestyles and be significant enough to become an inspiration to others,"
A selection of the houses will be Generation Houses with an internal courtyard and a connected annex with a separate rear entrance designed for an expanding/contracting family.
For the first few years the newly married couple can live in the annex and rent out the front, when the first child arrives they can move to the front section and rent out the rear, as the family expands they occupy the full house. When the family grows older the teenagers can use the annex to entertain their friends. When the young adults leave home the annex is again rented out to generate extra income, helping to put the kids through collage.
A young adults can live in the annex with their new partner while saving up for their own house. Eventually the next generation lives in the main house with their kids, the grandparents live in the annex and the cycle continues.
Wicklow is designated a 'Growth Town 1' in the National Spatial Strategy and is therefore a strategic target for growth. The development plan for Wicklow Town and Environs will be reviewed in the near future by the county council's Strategic Policy Committee. The new development plan will, for the first time, combine the Town with the Environs (including Rathnew). The distinction between them will be lessened.

Torres, The Philippine Star Posted at Aug 16 2014 09:51 AM | Updated as of Aug 16 2014 05:51 PM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn MANILA, Philippines - China Banking Corp. has promoted Ricardo R. Chua as its new president, effecting a smooth transition to the retirement of chief executive Peter S. Dee,by the end of this month. Chua has been serving as senior executive vice president and chief operating officer of China Bank since 1995. Among his other present positions include chairman of China Bank Savings, director and former chairman of BancNet Inc. and vice chairman of Planters Bank. A certified public accountant and a holder of a master's degree in business management from the Asian Institute of Management, Chua earned a bachelor's degree in commerce, major in accounting, from the University of the East. Aside from ending the year with a net income target of P5.1 billion, the new president faces a standing target of 400 branches by 2015. China Bank reported a 25-percent drop in consolidated net earnings in the first semester of 2014 to P2.2 billion from P2.96 billion in the first semester last year. The universal bank, a member of the SM Group, already operates roughly 300 branches and plans to establish a total of 65 this year. China Bank's acquisition of Planters Development Bank (Planters Bank) and its 78 branches are currently being implemented. Its thrift arm, China Bank Savings (CBS),has 73 branches and is set to add 29 more this year.

For whatever reason, homeless families have found themselves in a terrible situation and lack the resources to find their way back to wholeness. They have suddenly found themselves without the basic necessities of shelter, running water, a place to cook and eat and shower. Their children should not have ended up in a place so dire and dangerous. They've contacted social service agencies, but there are no beds for them.
ECTLC's Emergency Housing Program, funded primarily by HUD Community Development Block Grants and the City of El Cajon, can take a family off the streets and put them in a safe, clean room for a short-term stay. They are provided with meals, toiletries, linens, and counseling. They have the opportunity to enter one of our longer-term programs, or we will check local resources to help them find a longer-term program that will suit their needs. Available rooms are limited.
Unfortunately, funds are also limited and we have restricted this program to cold-weather months, usually October through March. We are looking for partners to provide matching funds to operate Emergency Housing on a year-long basis. These contributions are always tax-deductible.
Although we are a religious nonprofit, this Emergency program is secular and does not require participation in Bible studies or other classes. However, the stay is very short-term, and they will soon need to decide whether to participate in one of our long-term programs, or find a program more suited to their situation. The exact length of their stay will be determined by their case plan, their options, available rooms, & funding.

If you have been calling your ex boyfriend repeatedly and he rejects you every time, I might ask why are you calling him? Your answer would be that you love him so much that you can't help yourself. You keep hoping that he will listen to you and you can explain what went wrong with your relationship. But, you know it won't happen and all you are doing is making him more angry.
The problem after a breakup is that you focus so hard on getting your ex back and forget the others in your life who can be of great help at this time. You have your family and best friend who are ready and willing to help you if given the chance. Remember how close you were to them before you became so obsessed with your ex boyfriend? If you want to stop calling your ex, you should start relying on the people who still love you.
You may have neglected your family and best friend, but they will welcome you back with open arms. Don't be afraid or ashamed to ask for their help. Tell them of the way your ex boyfriend is rejecting you and that you need their support to star pulling away and ignoring him. However, you can't expect them to drop everything in their lives and monitor your actions.
You have to have some self discipline and keep busy with other things. Think of something you always wanted to do, perhaps take a class in some subject or work with handicapped children. Making yourself a better person is always a good way to stop badgering your ex boyfriend. As you find your interest growing with your new activities, you will find it easier to resist the temptation to call your ex boyfriend.
As you find your emotions starting to get back to normal, it could come to you as a surprise that your desperation to get your ex boyfriend back was not caused as much by love as you thought. You could have felt so humiliated by being dumped that you felt you had to fix things up before too many people found out about it. Now that you have confided in the ones who mean the most to you, the desperation is gone.
While you are improving yourself by making a new life, things will be happening to your ex boyfriend. His anger will fade away and he will realize that he has been a stubborn fool. When you stop trying to beg him to take you back, your ex will see how much he needs you in his life. He will miss you and long to hear your voice. The thought of how he rejected you will make him ashamed and he will want to make amends.
Soon your ex will be the one trying to contact you and that will cause you to make a decision. Do you really want him back and give up the life you have started making for yourself? The answer to that is no. However, you can have your ex back and still go on with your new life. Just make him understand that he is important to you, but not your whole life. This can be the foundation to a long lasting relationship and it happened because you learn how to stop calling your ex boyfriend.

3D Printing
Example of 3D printer filament made from recycled materials
virgin material 3d printer filament
Is the 3D printer filament you purchased really made from "100% virgin material" as claimed by the manufacturer? With so many 3D printer filament manufacturers out there, it is sometimes hard to tell if the product you paid for is actually the product you received...
One way of trying to reduce filament manufacturing costs is to use recycled materials; There is absolutely nothing wrong with recycling materials, actually if done properly, it can be a great practice that everyone (including mother nature) could benefit from.
The problem starts when a consumer is purchasing a product that is described to be made...

Genoa & Juventus draw in 2-all thriller; Ron Vlaar scores from his own half for Feyenoord; Larsson at the double as Helsingborg edge AIK
Genoa 2 – Juventus 2 (Serie A, September 24, 2009)Â Â Vincenzo Iaquinta fired Juventus into the lead at Genoa after a fine stepover from Camoranesi. Giandomenico Mesto equalised on 31 minutes with an arrowed header from a left wing cross. Hernan Crespo thought he had given Genoa the win with a near post header but David Trezeguet equalised with a minute to go.
Sporting Gijon 1 – Real Zaragoza 1 (La Liga, September 24, 2009) A deflected Diego Castro effort put the home side in front, Abel Aguilar equalised for Zaragoza.
Harkemase Boys 0 – Feyenoord 5 (KNVB Beker, September 24, 2009) Feyenoord romped to an easy win thanks to goals from Diego Biseswar, Leroy Fer, Ron Vlaar and a brace from Roy Makaay. The third goal from Ron Vlaar will be remembered long after the game as the defender chipped the goalkeeper from his own half.
AGOVV Apeldoorn 1 – Ajax 2 (KNVB Beker, September 24, 2009) Vurnon Anita blasted Ajax the lead after 51 minutes with a long range shot that the keper should have saved. AGOVV's Hesdey Suart made things even worse for the hosts at the hour mark when he beat his own goalie to make it 2-0. The hosts pegged one back with a Nacer Chadli penalty but it was too little too late.
VfB Lubeck 1 – Stuttgart 3 (DFB Pokal, September 23, 2009) Fourth-division side VfB Luebeck took an early lead through Bastian Henning. After a long scoreless period, it was 20-year old starlet Julian Schieber who equalised for Stuttgart, netting in the 77th minute. In the second half of extra time, Sami Khedira struck the winner before Cacau put the game to bed.
Kaiserslautern 2 – Bayer Leverkusen 1 (DFB Pokal, September 23, 2009) Sidney Sam gave Kaiserslautern a surprise lead with his 12th minute goal, and the home side doubled their advantage through Erik Jendrisek in the 62nd. Theofanis Gekas pulled one back late for Leverkusen, but it proved to be merely a consolation goal.
Munich 1860 2* – Hertha Berlin 2 (Pens. 4-1) (DFB Pokal, September 23, 2009) Munich took an early lead after Hertha defender Rasmus Bengtsson put the ball into his own net. United States international Kenny Cooper doubled the advantage just after the break before Gustavo Ramos (76) and Valeri Domovchiyski (79) scored in rapid succession to level for Hertha. After a scoreless extra half hour, 1860 Munich won the ensuing penalty shoot-out by a 4-1 margin.
Augsburg 1 – Freiburg 0 (DFB Pokal, September 23, 2009) Augsburg midfielder Daniel Brinkmann put his team ahead in the 63rd minute, and his side held on for the win.
Eintracht Frankfurt 6 – Alemannia Aachen 4 (DFB Pokal, September 23, 2009) It was a wonder star for Frankfurt, who were ahead 2-0 within five minutes thanks to goals from Caio and Nikos Liberopoulos. Babacar Gueye pulled one back for Aachen before Lukasz Szukala scored into his own net as the first half came to a close. Liberopoulos (50) and Alexander Meier (53) added two more goals before Benjamin Auer scored a quickfire brace (66 and 72) to bring Aachen back into the game. With three minutes to go, Gueye brought Aachen to within one, but Frankfurt put the game out of reach at the death, as Selim Teber converted a penalty kick.
Mouscron 1 – Anderlecht 2 (Jupiler League, September 24, 2009) Chemcedine El Araichi fired Mouscron into a 22nd minute lead but Matias Suarez levelled things up from the penalty spot 10 minutes later. Romelu Lukaku hit the winner for the visitors 17 minutes from time as Anderlecht moved into second place.
Santa Clara 1 – Feirense 1 (Liga Vitalis, September 24, 2009) Adilson curled home the opener for the away team, Santos equalised with thirteen minutes remaining.

Orgryte 0 – Trelleborg 2 (Allsvenskan, September 24, 2009) Joakim Sjohage raced away to give Trelleborg the lead on the stroke of halftime while a thunderous drive from Andreas Drugge sealed the win after the break.
Djurgarden 0 – Halmstad 2 (Allsvenskan, September 24, 2009) Marcus Olsson's double, scored in three second half minutes, earned Halmstad the points.
Elfsborg 1 – Brommapojkarna 0 (Allsvenskan, September 24, 2009) Englishman James Keene stooped at the near post to head Elfsborg to three points.
LDU de Quito 4 – Lanus 0 (Copa Sudamericana, September 24, 2009) Claudio Bieler made the most of poor defending to score a hat-trick, the first two of his goals coming in the opening six minutes of the game. A 25th minute penalty completed his hat-trick and Edison Mendez wrapped it up with another spot kick in the 91st minute.
San Lorenzo 3 – Cienciano 0 (Copa Sudamericana, September 24, 2009) The Argentinians opened their account in the 11th minute through Bernardo Romeo. Gonzalo Rovira doubled the advantage before half-time, and Romeo hit his second in the 54th minute.
Cerro Porteno 2 – Goias 0 (Copa Sudamericana, September 24, 2009) Goal scorers were Julio Dos Santos and Diego Herner.
DC United 3 – Marathon 0 (CONCACAF Champions League, September 24, 2009) Luciano Emilio bagged a brace for DC, Jaime Moreno scoring the third before later being sent off for two bookable offences.
Pumas UNAM 4 – Real Espana 0 (CONCACAF Champions League, September 24, 2009)
Egypt 4 – Trinidad & Tobago 1 (Under-20 World Cup, September 24, 2009) The Young Pharaohs delighted an 80,000 crowd with victory in the opening game of the tournament. Moustafa Afroto scored an excellent first powering into the T&T box to put the hosts ahead. Jean Lus Rochford levelled the scoreline but a brace from Hussam Arafat and another from Mohamed ensured an emphatic victory.

It has come to my attention that where I wrote :
If there's a need to print a new edition, Thom lets you upgrade for a reduced cost. I don't think that this is done with printed books. If a second edition is printed, you probably have to pay the full price a second time.
some people may have read it as confusingly saying that Thom lets you upgrade for a reduced cost but also makes you pay the full price for a new edition. I'll try to make it more accurate this time. When Thom issues a new edition, such as the second edition of the D2x guide that added coverage for the D2xs and the D300 guide which added coverage for the D300s and is now in its third edition, the updates are available at a substantially reduced cost, $11.95 for the new D2x/D2xs guide. As Thom writes on his Updates page about updating the guides for other cameras :
D3, D40/D40x, D80, D90, D300, and D700 updates are NOT handled via this page and are a different price due to the printed material included with them.
The D700 guide sells for $39.95 and is a special case because Thom also offered a printed (paper) edition for $29.95 to purchasers of the PDF version. I don't know if he did this for any of his other camera guides. This is what he writes about the upgrade prices for the D700 guide :
Things are a little more complicated than other updates due to the options that are involved:
CD+ToGo only for anyone living outside of Pennsyvlania: US$14.99
CD+ToGo only for Pennsylvania residents: US$15.59
CD+ToGo+Printed complete set for Pennsylvania residents send US$47
CD+ToGo+Printed complete set for other US and Canadian residents: send US$44.99
CD+ToGo+Printed complete set for all other International residents: send US$59.99
Apologies if there was any confusion or misunderstanding. Thom's Complete Guide to the Nikon 1 is also different in that it doesn't include some of the extras that come with the other guides, and it was downloadable (no CD involved) so if there are any updates . . . we might expect the price (if any) to be substantially less than any of his previous guide updates.

USCCA Responds to President Obama's Executive Order to Expand Gun Control
GW: I watched the Tyrant in Chief live yesterday, as he continued his assault on my rights to own firearms without registering them. And, that's what he's attempting to do – even though he doesn't have the authority vested in his throne. All I heard was we need bigger government and we need to register all firearms. I couldn't listen to the entire pathetic speech and had to tune out.
In a statement earlier today, President Barack Obama announced his plan to initiate a new executive order that includes but is not limited to expanding background checks for private gun sellers.
According to Fox News, the President's actions "mark a renewed bid…to enact gun control measures with or without Congress."
USCCA President and Founder Tim Schmidt notes that "President Obama's anti-freedom, pro-socialism executive order—his blatant push for more gun control—is a direct response to calls from anti-gunners—who, by the way, do not comprise the majority of people in this country—to do 'something' about the perceived level of gun violence across the U.S."
He insists, "We absolutely cannot stand for this gross overreach of power that directly and negatively affects millions of law-abiding men and women in this country."
"It's been shown time and time again that background checks do nothing to reduce crime," Schmidt adds. "And yet, the President is determined to appease the people—the media, mainly—who claim they do."
Concealed Carry Magazine Executive Editor Kevin Michalowski offers extensive commentary on the topic of universal background checks in a short article, "Background Checks Won't Reduce Crime," found on the USCCA Blog.
"It's pretty clear to me that Obama's endgame is simply to disarm as many law-abiding Americans as possible," Schmidt suggests. "Not only is it dangerous…it's unconstitutional."
About the USCCA:
The U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) is the first and largest, member-owned association designed to educate, train, and insure responsibly armed Americans. USCCA members receive access to a wealth of industry information and insurance protection through its Self-Defense SHIELD program. The USCCA also provides expert advice, product information, and the latest news centered around the concealed carry lifestyle via email, social media, Concealed Carry Magazine, and their nationally syndicated radio program Armed American Radio.

CTRL R stems from over 20 years of experience making some of the world's best console controllers. Link to Bluetooth PCs and laptops, Fire TV, Google Nexus and other smartphones, plus Android-fueled gear. CTRL R plays nicely with just about everything. And, three distinct modes let you select the control method that makes the most of your connected device. Enhance your mobile gaming experience with CTRL R, whether at home or on-the-go.
Thanks to integrated Bluetooth technology, the CTRL R is outstanding at power conservation. The included AAA batteries provide energy for up to 40 hours of continuous gameplay.
GameSmart products come with an intuitive software application which helps you get the most value from your new purchase. The downloadable Mad Catz A.P.P. for Android provides the ability to monitor battery levels, adjust Mouse Mode settings, and view the input of axes and buttons.
PC users can customize and then assign game-specific profiles to the controller. If your game lacks HID gamepad input, compatibility is attainable by assigning keyboard and mouse commands to the controller's buttons and sticks. The software clearly identifies each programmable area of the CTRL R, and programming is very straightforward.
PC Mode provides operability with PCs, while GameSmart Mode controls Android devices. And when in Mouse Mode the controller functions as a mouse control for Bluetooth-connected devices by assigning navigation to the left analog stick and action buttons.
A super-convenient set of multimedia buttons – right on the face of the controller – adds remote-control functionality. Start and stop playback of a movie. Jump to the next song. And crank up the volume.


text: I was reading an article in the Daily News I believe. The main article talked about HDTV and what to look for. In the article it states that there are service technicians that offer television calibrations for about $65 an hour...and it takes about an hour to finish. I have a 36" Sony Wega ...I forget the model, manufacture date was 2000. My main problem is the black level. When I'm watching a dark scene there is a darker vertical hazy bar near the left side of the screen. This is downright annoying at times. 5 years, and I can't get use to it. I try to make my brightness darker to get rid of the problem, but to do that, scenes are too dark. Does anyone recommend what I can do myself or who I can get to do it for me? Money is unfortunately an issue. More then $100 would be breaking me.

On last Sunday's episode of the AMC hit drama "Breaking Bad", Brian Cranston's character — a drug kingpin — threatened to "send [someone] to Belize," an alternate euphemism to "sleeping with the fishes."
The scene was widely discussed on social media, with many speculating whether the show had inadvertently dealt a blow to the country's tourism.
"Some people may have perceived that to be somewhat of a crisis," Alyssa Carnegie, the director of marketing and industry relations for the Belize Tourism Board, said in an interview with the New York Times, "but we really thought of it as an opportunity."
Following Sunday's episode, the Belize Tourism Board demonstrated its sense of humor (and impeccable timing) by tweeting humorous invitations to the "Breaking Bad" actors and characters, inviting them to take a real trip to the country.
Hey @deanjnorris, not so nice what @mrbobodenkirk suggested last night. We'd love to have U for an actual trip anytime. #breakingbad #belize
— Belize Tourism Board (@belizevacation) August 19, 2013
The vacation offers, which have been extended to showrunner Vince Gilligan and eight members of his cast, include a four-day, three-night stay in Belize, including airfare, hotel, meals and other activities.
"Many of us are big fans of the show and can't wait to see what happens over the last six episodes," the tourism board wrote in its official invitation. "While we hope that some of our favorite characters don't get 'sent on a trip to Belize' in the show, we do hope you will take us up on the following offer – we'd like to send all of you on an ACTUAL trip to our country after the season is over."

Would you like to avoid frustration for your pre speech baby & yourself ? Classes are from birth, they are never too young. You speak to them in your own chosen language although they can't say it back, because they still understand ! Therefore, as soon as they are able, they will tell you. However, because the vocals develop much later than physical coordination, with sign language it will be a lot sooner. It has been proven that signing does not delay speech, quite the opposite. Being satisfied making themselves understood encourages all their communication skills. With many children's signed programs now on TV, it is becoming increasingly popular. We are an award winning National company which is in it's 15th year, proving that it obviously is working. Our classes are multi sensory & we teach through song. Numbers are limited so that learning is not limited by chaos. Therefore booking is necessary & discount is available for this. Price is per family, not per child. Therefore you can bring all preschool children in the family for no extra cost, & other adult family members are also welcome free.
Times and prices are subject to change. Contact venue before setting out.

Yet another brilliant entry in Kenemore's zombie canon - Cap'n Hook meets the undead. Set in the Caribbean of the eighteenth century, the epicenter of piracy, voodoo, and the dark arts, The Code of the Zombie Pirate reveals all the secrets to selecting, customizing, and managing a motley crew of pirates-cum-zombies. Imagine the consequences of pirates who have crossed the line to immortality: the breathtaking lack of respect for life—it's the ultimate pirate dream! Kenemore advises captions in:
Selecting Zombie Pirates: Fast or slow, chatty or quiet? Can a zombie hold a cutlass, or is it better off using its teeth? As readers will learn, pirate crews benefit from diversity.
Finding a Vessel Worthy of a Bunch of Dead Guys: Learn the ins-and-outs of pirate ships. Which ones best suit zombies, with their unique undead benefits and drawbacks?
Flying the Zombie Pirate Flags: Learn how to instill fear with something as simple as a brain and crossbones.
Going Full Zombie: Should the reader - an aspiring Pirate King or Queen - become a member of the walking dead? There are benefits and drawbacks to this, discussed here.
This rollicking guide through the world that zombies and pirates both haunted and hunted will keep Zen of Zombie readers intrigued and win over legions of new fans.
Actor Bernard Setaro Clark gives a hilarious performance of Scott Kenemore's exuberant satire The Code of the Zombie Pirate, which is set in the Caribbean during the 18th century. His euphonious voice soars over the key points in this primer on how to select a crew of zombie pirates and how to best employ their unique skills on the high seas. Also covered is proper vessel selection to accommodate the undead, as well as the ultimate question: Should the listener cross over and join the zombie ranks?

Multiple Primary Keys to single foreign key
I am creating a database for a factory that contains three tables: one with a list of Lines that are currently running, one of Support Departments that are running and one for Product Types that are made on each line. The problem that I found is linking the Product Type table back to the line/support department tables. I have a Primary Key LineId in the Line table and SupportDeptId in the Support Department table. I would like to only have one foreign key in the ProductSize table, but the only way I can find to do that is to create a middle table with lines and/or support department ids, and to link through that table. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you,
Joe Fiorini

Why do you only want one foreign key in the table?
Usually a foreign key is just implemented as an index. You pay a little performance penalty on inserts/updates, but not as much as creating a new table.rws

Could you be more descriptive as to the relationships between the tables ? - I am unclear as to these relationships. How does the support department relate to the other tables ?

There are a number of options to choose from; do you want gas or electric? Do you bake a lot? If so, convection or dual fuel ovens might be the way to go for you. How big an oven do you need, and is it a good idea to get a double oven? We'll walk you through some oven terminology, and look at the array of options and add-ons out there.

My name is Xavier Pickles. I'm the principal of Nightshade High School. Most of the students here are demons. I have been informed that a human girl is coming to my school for a tour to see if she wants to come here. Knock knock..knock. Three soft knocks sounded on my office door. "Come in." I said and looked at the door. "Are you Mr. Pickles?" She asked me and I nodded my head yes and motioned flor her to close the door. "I've waited centuries for you sweetheart." I said and used my power to lock the door.
"Mr. Pickles I think you have me confused with someone else." Her soft low voice said. I grabbed her hand and she jumped I know she feels the shocks and tingles when I touch her. "Mate." I said and pulled her to my chest. Before she could yell/screamed I kissed her soft delectable lips. "I will be your teacher my dearest." I said and looked down at her.

10 - 6 OK St 14 min left. ESPN2, Ok St in bonus already
No doubt Smart is ready for the NBA. No one flops and over dramatizes contact like Marcus Smart
Make that double bonus with 13:20
This announcer just called Smart a great flopper.
osu looks very good
Smart is going to be impossible to guard if his three point shooting continues like that.
I do like that the play-by-play guy has consistently pressed for a definition of "sneaky physical" once Fran threw it out there.
That did not look like a flagrant 2. Simpson got robbed.
I can't see anyone realistically challenging Smart for Big 12 POY.
lost his cool. see ya PU.
weak ejection
Purdue's got a combeack brewing. Techincals on both sides
Markel Brown is a punk
wow. comeback time
Crazy comeback.
Interesting...Smart not coming off the bench
How far was that 3 pointer by Stephens?
Longer than the runway in Fast and Furious 6
OSU seems a little indifferent on defense, relying on athleticism rather than effort.
Well it was a good effort by Purdue to stay in that game

I was chatting to some LikeMinds the other day about the future of Apple now that Steve Jobs has sadly passed away. The company has obviously made Computers and Laptops cool; it also created a booming Smartphone and Tablet market which has changed the way that people collaborate both socially and within the Enterprise.
But what is left for Apple to reinvent? Well an obvious answer is the Television. If you think of the mantra of 3 screens and the Cloud; the 3 screens being Computer, Smartphone and TV. Then we should see Apple enter this market soon; ok, they do already have Apple TV but this hasn't really taken the world by storm. An iconic television would do however. Apple will face huge competition in this field from Sony and Samsung. Already reinventing the TV with 3D and internet capabilities.
Another new market for them could be the Smartwatch. In true Apple style they have dabbled with the iPod Nano watch, almost testing the concept out on their fanbase. I have a friend who loves his, but essentially its only a music device on your wrist. Plus it looks so fragile, Im pretty sure that if I had one, it would be broken by the end of the day.
But now that Apple has iCloud and Siri, suddenly the idea of an "iWatch" could be an exciting prospect! Imagine be able to use Siri on your iWatch as a remote control, as a link between all your other Apple devices; perhaps commanding music and films from your Mac down to your TV. It sounds like something out of the Jetsons, but essentially the technology is there (about time too!). There are also rumours of Apple investing in curved glass R&D which could indicate that they are looking to improve the sharp edged iPod Nano, perhaps to make it more wearable.
Will people wear technology? Of course! But you need to make it look extra stylish. Jawbone had a go recently releasing their "UP"; a wristband that makes you healthier. But it flopped as it just looks to ugly. Nike's launch of their fitness and calorie tracker, Fuelband is a step in the right direction. Last I read, there was still a huge waitlist to get one; perhaps taking a gimmick out of the Apple PR rulebook.
There is a huge risk for Apple though. The youth of today no longer wear watches as its seen a single purpose device; instead they use their smartphones to tell the time. If Apple were to release a Smartwatch, it needs all the design power of Sir Jonathan Ive to make sure it works not only in the Tech market, but also in the Fashion one.

About Swiglitz
- Birthday 10/16/1974
Profile Information
Manchester, UK
I'm a freelance writer with work published By Fantasy Flight Games in the Black Crusade and Rogue Trader product lines, including; The Tome of Blood, the Tome of Excess, the Tome of Decay, Twilight Crusade, and the Tau Character Guide. I've also had 3 short stories published in the Wyrd Chronicles.
I'm not talking about mechanics. Or statistics or removing/adding any elements to the game. I've tried pretty hard to deliberately not bring maths and such into my posts as I think laying bare the bones takes away some of the magic of playing pretend. I like the TN system as it stands because it feels right for the setting. Fates sets you up (TN) you try to beat fate (your skills and flips). Things like percentages and other forms of maths sorcery don't come into it. The game feels less random, it feels more like the players are in control and that they're doing all the work, it feels like they're special. Adding a random element to the TN feels like Fate doesn't really know it's doing. Whether any of this holds up to scientific inquiry is irrelevant, to me at least. I'm not trying to say the the Through the Breach system is best out there, I play (and love) plenty of other systems with a more traditional approach, but for the setting and the stories I want to tell I think it's fine the way it is.
For me it's always been about the fluff. The Fated have been chosen by Fate, they have been given a destiny. By one reason or another they are aware of this phenomenon and choose to either embrace it or deny it. Fate sets them up to play their part in it's grand scheme and they make their decisions. Fate is the fixed TN and the fate deck. Simply put, Fate says 'these things are going to happen' and the fated respond. All the actions are theirs to make. I don't need random flips as the fate master, I simply do. This action is difficult, it's important to Fate's plan, therefore you get a high TN to make go against it. This action is less important, you get a lower TN to go against it. It was similar in the Gumshoe system. The GM made no dice rolls in that either, you gave the players all the relevant information and they made their way through the story. It works really well as it empowers the player, placing all the actions and decisions entirely in their hands, no 'lucky' dice rolls meaning you miss a vital clue or get battered senseless by a Giant Rat. Fluff and story are the most important things to me, and I do a lot of mechanics handwaving or tinkering to get things to fit how I want a game to feel, as opposed to how it plays.
Giant Robot Fists, for Non-Robots
Swiglitz replied to Sunspotter's topic in Player CreationsI've changed my mind, you can't do it
Theorizing this out doesn't appear to getting anywhere. I would suggest you play a couple of one-shots with fixed TN's, then play a couple more with opposed flips and see which version you prefer. As we all know, it's our game and we're free to play it however we see it. Table-top experience will always trump theory and only good can come from it.
Something to keep in mind for this discussion is that most fight oriented NPC's are quite singular in their skill sets and have quite high acting values, Defence 5-6 seems to be the average with most attack actions coming in at between 4 and 6. This is off set somewhat by the fixed card flip governed by their rank. If you start integrating a random flip for NPC actions you're going to make some encounters far more deadly than they have cause to be. This will have the knock on effect of blurring the lines between what makes a character like a Gupp different from a Spawn Mother. This is workable by going in and altering the core stats of most NPC's in the game to keep a balance between relative power levels, but the granulation of AV's is actually quite small. If you look at the tabletop there's plenty of minions with AV's of 5 or 6, a level similar to most enforcers, henchmen, and some masters, that's fine for a game where both players should be on a equal footing but is that what an TTB, or any RPG for that matter, is? Have you played the game with static TN's yet? Like every other GM in the known world I tinker with rules-sets and hardly ever play a game 'out of the box' and I had my doubts about the system until I played it. It actually works very, very well and ended up being one of the things that makes TTb stand out. Also, don't most games have fixed TN's for player actions anyway? Outsisde of dodge actions and the like when you're rolling to hit someone, they don't roll against you. TTB is a player facing game in both fluff and mechanics and think the two gel very well in the fixed TN system. I'm not sure about your line about being able to take 10 outside of Dramatic time. I don't have my books with me but I don't remember reading that anywhere. I was under the impression that if an action would be rote for a fated you don't flip, you just assume success unless failing would have consequences in which case you flip as normal. I might be wrong on this though. It's been a while since I needed to read the rules section of the Almanac.
TTB FAQ (Old Thread)
Swiglitz replied to Mason's topic in TTB DiscussionYou could take them as Manifested Powers, although you might want to beef them up a bit if you did that.
December 14th - Large Arachnids
Swiglitz replied to Aaron's topic in Monday PreviewsEurgh! But that's Eurgh! in a good way.
TtB GM help!!
Swiglitz replied to RebeccaJo's topic in TTB DiscussionAll of the advice above is awesome so I'm not going to repeat what these guys have already said, but ... In terms of writing your own adventures/scenarios/stories, I could write reams and reams about this but I'll try to boil it down to a couple of, what I think, are key points. 1. TtB is a very player facing game, by that I mean the Fatemaster doesn't engage in any mechanics behind the scenes. You don't make any card flips or engage in any game mechanics beyond setting Target Numbers and interpreting results. As a result of that it can be difficult, at first, to get a feel for what makes a challenging encounter, be it social, combat or whatever. My advice when starting out is to err on the side of caution and set the TN's on the lower end of the scale. An average TN should be somewhere in the 9-11 region, but that doesn't mean your Fated will be able to hit that number with any regularity in all situations. For your first few encounters I'd be looking at lower TN's maybe something like 7-9. If you find the Fated are breezing past these challenges you can start to ramp up the difficulty until you're happy with level of success/failure. This is quite an organic process so don't think you have to have it all figured out before the game begins. Besides, giving players a high success rate early on lets them feel quite empowered and capable of taking on whatever challenges you throw at them later. 2. Plot and pacing trump mechanics. Never let the game rules get in the way of a good scene or story. Feel free to bend or ignore the rules occasionally if it leads to a more fun experience. Most players won't call you on this if they have a good time or get to do something cool in game. 3. Players will surprise you, fact. They'll think of things to do that you never considered. They'll ignore your carefully scripted clues and run off pursuing their own red herrings. This is going to happen. There's no way around it. To get the most of this, be prepared to think on your feet a little. The good news is, you are omniscient, you know what every other character in the scenario is thinking and doing when your players start blazing their own trail. It's up to you to steer the Fated back towards the plot by using whatever tools you have available. NPC's might take different actions due to the Fated's interference or lack thereof, so be prepared to fudge it a little. Or you could fully embrace the Fated's whims and decide their ideas are better and more interesting than the story you have written. This requires a lot of by-the-seat-your-pants, sandbox style playing but can lead to some really memorable stories, particularly as the players get to think they're really smart for figuring it all out. 4. Destiny steps are a tough call in my opinion. There's a lot of really great advice on these forums about interpreting and writing for Destinies. I'm currently trying a different tack. My scenario's are written ahead of time with a view to tying all together to form a larger campaign, very much like a TV series. Rather than trying to cram in 15-20 destiny steps into this already complex arrangement we resolve Destiny Steps during the Epilogue of each Story. I'm firmly in the camp of involving the players in every aspect of the game, so when we complete a scenario we talk about the skill progression as a group, rather than me dictating what skills they can choose from. Once this is done we talk about if anyone feels like a scene or event in the scenario resolved a destiny step. I've found it helps draw the players into their character's and destinies as they feel like they're having an input in the future of their character. It often ends up much like someone reading their horoscope after the fact with players finding reasons to attach significance to otherwise mundane events. This may not work for everybody as it requires a pretty open dialogue between all the players and the Fatemaster, but if you're struggling to find ways to fit things in it's worth a shot. I should probably mention that sometimes no one feels like they resolved a destiny and that's fine, not everything in life is a portentous symbol of your fate. Also, if more than one player feels they've touched upon their destiny that's also fine. 5. Finally if this is your first time GMing I'd suggest reading as many of the pre-written Penny Dreadfuls and One-shots as you can. Even if you don't use them they'll help give you an idea about structure and pacing, and you can always steal any particularly cool scenes or characters for your own scenarios. Have fun, and please pop back on and let us know how you got on.
There's nothing stopping Fatemasters tinkering with the rules for Destiny steps, it's our game after all, but I'd be loathe to give a player a piece of equipment for resolving a Destiny step. It seems a little below par compared to getting an increase in an Aspect or a manifested power. Now if you give the player the ability to build them as a manifested power, thus creating their own one and potentially others, that's a different story
I agree with Happy-Yeti. If you know one or more of your players wants one, I'd find a story reason to introduce one, perhaps in an abandoned workshop deep in the Quarantine Zone, or the lair of some macabre Arcanist/Resser like Professor Von Schtook. Given that the harness is one of a handful of mystery items like Relic Hammers and such, I'd say the players can't 'just make one'. Given time to study a working example I imagine a player of sufficient skill could replicate one but that's outside the scope of the crafting system as it stands. Of course that means you're free to impose any costs you wish, ideally something more than just a scrip value.
How does the Dreamer lose?
Swiglitz replied to Detharious's topic in The NeverbornTo echo Kadeton's comments, how are your summons able to hold their own against your opponents fresh models? If you're summoning 2-3 models at a time you must be burning through cards at quite a rate, or just getting very, very lucky. When your summons come in on one wound and slow how do you keep them alive? I'd love to see some of your opponents lists, with big hitters like Lilith and Mei Feng facing off against you, and (arguably) a more powerful summoner too I know I'd struggle to counter everything an opponent can throw against me, and score the strat, and my schemes. Are your opponents targeting the weaker models (daydreams, alps, fresh summons etc) with their blast attacks? If you're summoning them in close to the Dreamer to get his healing it shouldn't be too difficult to clip Dreamer with a blast marker, if you're summoning them far away, they're not getting the benefit of his healing aura and and should fall over pretty quick. The twins notwithstanding the Dreamer suffers from an over abundance of damaged models after summoning. There's tons of healing available but if your doing that, it's activation's used up and used on scoring and bunching up models. Perhaps take up a couple of offers of a vassal game from some of the folks here and see what folks do to counter you?
The off-topic closed?
Swiglitz replied to zFiend's topic in News, Reviews, & DiscussionI never used the off-topic thread, but it's obvious that a great many people did and sorely miss its presence. It also seems as though the idea of 'random chat' thread is not one that Wyrd really wants to get behind. I won't theorize about why that might be as I actually have no idea. That being said I don't think that the idea of chatting with your friends on this forum has to go either. It might seem a little clunky but perhaps having multiple threads open regarding the various topics that were discussed might work in its stead. Even if they're quite broad in scope. A music discussion thread, a favourite film thread, a Taylor Swift obsession thread or what-have-you. Although it would lack some of the organic nature of the Off-Topic and it's ability to merge from one thing to another at least we'll all still be able to talk rubbish at each other about whatever it is that's on our minds. As I said before I never used the Off-topic so don't really know how viable a solution this is, I just think that looking for solutions rather than asking after reasons is a happier place to be. Cheers,
Taelor, and ways to deal with her if you picked a summoner
Swiglitz replied to MEGAHORSE's topic in The ResurrectionistsWhat's the wording on her Welcome to Malifaux ability? I know she gets a free charge against a model summoned in, providing it's in range and LOS but does it follow any other rules for charges? If you summon something into base contact with her, or within it's own engagement range can she still charge it? I have a regular opponent who uses Taelor quite frequently but up until now I've always summoned out or range or beyond LOS.
Into the Steam & Northern Aggression
Swiglitz posted a topic in TTB DiscussionMorning chaps, Now that GenCon is behind us and normal service has resumed, I was wondering if there's a street date for Into the Steam and/or Northern Aggression yet? I would love to have ordered them from GenCon but the sudden spike in International shipping for adding a moderately heavy book turned me off to the idea. I've had a word with my local bricks and mortar store but they've, so far, come up empty. Cheers,
Most in-theme masters?
Swiglitz replied to OSP's topic in Faction DiscussionYou're quite right I did. I don't have models for them yet so I have yet to field any. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Mods double post you can delete this!!
Have you heard of the constitution?
Who doesn't? Just wanting to know if anything since the Patriot Act can be altered/promoted?
the Constitution is only as valuable as the paper it's written on if people choose to ignore it.
Not only is this unconstitutional, but it is also technically not the presidents job.
neither is education, that's the state's job, but NCLB and now Race to the Top sorta prove that doesn't matter.
I would say that education is a parent's job, but sadly, there don't seem to be many people that actually "parent" nowadays.
And, it's not Obama's (or any president's) job to protect people from words.
touche' I agree, but rather, I should say, education is to be dealt with at the state level, not the federal. but we are digressing a little.
I deplore those that spew hate, promote violence etc.,but our people have the 1st amendment & natural right to speak their mind and so do I.beyond that we don't need more laws,we need more common sense,better parenting education & the like.
I think if a person is inciting violence and can be proven then there are already laws in which can be enforced.As an adult I've come to the realization it's just tough to fix stupid like the people who spew hate & violence.

Do you believe you have latent psychic abilities? Have you often felt something was going to happen and then it actually did? How many times have known what someone was going to say, before they said it? This is your intuition at work and may be just the tip of your sleeping psychic talents. With desire and practice you can bring your own latent abilities to life.
Disciplined practice is the key to helping anyone enhance their psychic ability and developing your own talent only requires the decision to begin.
The human brain is truly the original computer and regularly bombarded with all sorts of images and information. The subconscious memory contains more information than is contained in all of the world's libraries. While some people will develop their psychic ability very little or not at all many others will work to further enhance their intuition.
One of the most important steps in enhancing psychic awareness is to get in touch with one's higher self. This is done through meditation. If you feel you need help learning the technique of meditation, you can often find a class in your community or even teach yourself through the many books available on the subject. Meditation will clear negative emotions and thoughts and promote calm and self-healing. It is important to meditate everyday even if just for 20 minutes.
