Ferrari Challenge: Trofeo Pirelli Review
September 3, 2008 - The simulation racing genre is a hard nut to crack, especially on a PlayStation system given the dominance of Gran Turismo, but System 3 and Eutechnyx are going for the pole position with Ferrari Challenge. The game cuts right to the chase and puts players behind the wheel of more than 50 different cars from the Italian maker and lets you compete in the famed Ferrari Challenge racing series.
System 3 and Activision Publishing Ship Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli in North America
August 26, 2008 - Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) and System 3 announced today that Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli is now available in North America for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 computer entertainment systems, Wii, and Nintendo DS.
Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli UK Review
June 27, 2008 - Press the start button for the first time in Ferrari Challenge and you'll set off the distinctive roar of a thoroughbred race car – the very same way SEGA's F355 Challenge commenced back in 1999, and the first of many references that mark System 3's game out as a spiritual successor to Yu Suzuki's latter day classic.
Ferrari Challenge Hands-on
June 19, 2008 - PlayStation 3 racing fans saw the release of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue earlier this year, but with another year or so to go before the full GT5 release, sim fans may be left waiting for a new fix for a while. Fortunately, System 3 looks to fill the void with Ferrari Challenge, a simulation racer featuring none other than Italy's finest on numerous real-world tracks.

Ferrari Challenge Interview
April 25, 2008 - Think motorsport and you'll likely conjure an images of grandeur and glamour, of Monaco's harbour or Monza's sun-kissed and leaf-littered parkland. You probably wouldn't think of a sparse airfield in Northampton on a blustery April afternoon, the echo of a rasping Ferrari V8 the only sound punctuating the grey British sky. However, it's here at Silverstone we find ourselves getting another look at System 3's Ferrari Challenge, against the backdrop of a practice day for the Trofeo Pirelli series that forms the core of this summer's PlayStation 3 racer.
Ferrari Challenge Interview
February 25, 2008 - Mark Cale is a man on a mission. A lifelong lover of Ferrari's cars, he's bringing the experience of driving Italy's finest to gamers around the world with Ferrari Challenge. The game, developed by Eutechnyx and Cale's company System 3, certainly should be a Ferrari fan's wet dream, with 50 cars from Ferrari past and present lovingly recreated in-game, complete with handling that's been tweaked by Bruno Senna, Ayrton Senna's nephew. It's designed to straddle the arcade-sim divide, so players can choose to test their mettle with all assists turned off, or go a more arcadey route and barrel around the courses with less to worry about. Accompanying this is an in-game economy that sees greater rewards given to players who choose to play without assists, thus allowing them to purchase unlocked cars faster, as well as giving arcade-inclined players more of an incentive to reduce the assists they use. With the game almost done and gunning its engines on the starting grid, we got in touch with Mark for a chat about the game, and discovered he's not shy about singing the game's praises, nor of critiquing perceived failings in other racing games. Read on to find out what he had to say.
Ferrari Challenge UK Preview
January 14, 2008 - With the full version of Gran Turismo 5 still teetering on the horizon, System 3 is looking to fill the carburettor-shaped hole that lies at the heart of the PS3 with Ferrari Challenge, a simulation-style racing game replete with a garage full of some of the finest sports cars known to man. We recently had an extended hands-on with a build of the game and were left impressed by the pretender to Polyhphony's throne.
Ferrari Challenge Preview
November 7, 2007 - If wishes really do come true, System 3 has been stroking its magic lamp for long time. "When I was 17-years-old," explains CEO Mark Cale, "I realised that, if I was ever going to own a Ferrari, I'd need to start a successful company, and so began System 3". It's only natural then, that the inspiration to set up the firm should become the star of Ferrari Challenge, the developer's most impressive looking game to date.
GC 2007: Ferrari Challenge First Impressions
August 23, 2007 - A racing game on PlayStation 3 that isn't Gran Turismo is going to find it hard to get itself noticed, even if its virtual garage contains some of the most desirable sports cars in the world. However, wheel a real Ferrari onto the show floor in Leipzig and drape a couple of leather-clad hotties over the bonnet and it's bound to raise interest. Of course, we were there purely to get our hands on the game, albeit only for a brief moment due to sweaty punters clamouring for the pad while we tried to get in some serious game time.

Subject: Supplementary Death Benefits - Canadian Army (Regular)Dear Garry and Stephen, As a Canadian Soldier, I have been paying into SDB every month since I was 17 and still do each month through my Army Pension - On the 14 Nov 1958 I swore on the bible and red ensign Canadian flag that I was prepared to give my life in defence of HMQE2 and my country Canada. This year I will turn 65 and find out that there is still another claw back to my NOK benefits and it has been reduced by 10% each year since I was aged 60. When Prime Minister Paul Martin was Finance Minister he took 16.6 billion dollars out of our pension fund so there is no way the Government can say there was no funds to keep paying SDB, or even to give raises in our Army Pensions. To say that would be a lie. Again it shows what the liberal politicians think abut those who were willing to lay their lives on the line for Canada. If I had died before aged 60 my wife would have received double my retirement salary from SDB and it would have been used to bury me and help her in her old age. This year half of the SDB will already have been clawed back through sneaky legislation and although I want the SDB deductions from my Army pension cheque to continue just in case there is enough left over to perhaps bury me?, and therefore I won't become a burden on my family who are all struggleing in this high cost modern world- Why should my wife be left with little or few benefits and little support? It is very very sad to see what is happening to our benefits! I see that arguments have been won in court to collect the SDB benefits, but why should old soldiers and their families have to go to court to collect what is rightfully theirs? If the PCs get into power will they right this wrong? Hopefully there will be enough left in the kitty to pay for a flag, my coffin, a plot and my stone? There appears to be nothing left for my beloved wife. Blessings Billy http://iwvpa.net/willbondwha/ I received the following from an Army buddy who got it from the Sigs Club of Canada - one has to be a lawyer to keep up with the nitpicking and chipping away at our meagre benefits and some people have hired legal representation and won, but one has to ask the question why should this litigation action have to be taken to receive paid for benefits? The Liberals have a habit of changing the rules after the fact and that is just not right! In early Sept. 2005 oral arguments were presented at both the Public Service Class Action and the Canadian Forces Class Action concerning the Supplementary Death Benefits (SDB). The actions went to trial on the common issues at the Law Courts in Vancouver on 13 June 2005. Under the Public Service Superannuation Act (PSSA) and the Canadian Forces Superannuation Act (CFSA), a Supplementary Death Benefit is payable to beneficiaries of deceased federal Public Servants and Canadian Forces members. Until late 1999 the amount of the benefit payable was reduced by 10% per year for covered members who died after age 60. Since 1999, the 10% yearly reduction under the PSSA applies after age 65, rather than age 60. The class actions challenge the age-related benefit reduction as discriminatory, contrary to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. A similar case brought on an individual basis in the Federal Court of Canada by Mrs. Ruth Margolis resulted in a favourable judgement for the plaintiff. The class actions are brought on behalf of all members insured under the SDB program. Basically what happened was the lady retiree in B.C. sued and won. Her death benefits were not reduced. As you know it is twice the amount of salary we were making at the time of retiring. The counter-claim by the govt. says that it would bankrupt the system if it were to be paid out in fully. I think an actuary quoted 1.8 billion dollars. If you want the full story and court rulings, go to the legal website that is handling the case. It is www.branmac.com <http://www.branmac.com/> and then click on class actions.
....... Once again the insurance industry is there to take our money, but does not want to give any back when the time comes!
A civilian who is on long term disability(LTD) and receives taxable income outside of his/her LTD. Will have an amount equal to the amount of taxable income clawed-back.
Battleaxe, Boyne Clark is my legal team and what I know of them and how they operate is that 30% goes to the legal team from the total award amount. Since this is such a sensitive award I would suggest that, they (Boyne Clark) will ask for legal to be paid by the crown outside of the straight award. This will leave the lions share going to the troops, if that occurs you can bet that damages will not be granted just actual claw back owing. You can normally get in on a class action like this by putting a little cash down as a retainer in the past it has been 1,500 to 5,000 as a rough guess. On the issue of DVA giving 10% grants and SISIP giving higher ones I see the opposite as the big issue, DVA gives a full disability (85% to 100%) and SISIP gives zero.
I for one was made well aware about the claw back on my SCAN in 96, so it shouldn't be of any surprise to anyone. I was awarded LTD SISIP, a VA pension and my military pension was fully indexed upon release after serving my 23 years. That adds upto 75% of my salary until i turn retirement age. Would I like more money? Who wouldn't? The system is not setup to make anyone rich, it's there to provide the former member a reasonable amount of money in order to live comfortably, which I do. Want more buy a lottery ticket. I thank my lucky stars I have LTD benefits, otherwise I'd be living in a cardboard box on a street called somewhere.

I am trying to book train tickets from Monaco to Genoa for the summer. 2 adults, 2 children. Booking thru trenitalia.it. They give me an option called "Go" instead of "standard", but I can't figure out what that means. Does anybody know? I can change to "Go" to "Standard/Children" for my kids, is that OK or do all 4 have to have tha same ticket?
Do I get the tickets to print at home, get them in Monaco or do I need to go to an Italian railroad station to collect? (In which it is hopeless as I am in Monaco going to Italy).
I have always just bought train tickets at the station, but I wanted to book a car thru Trenitalias site (great discounts on open air Fiats) and then I need tickets.

I can change to "Go" to "Standard/Children" for my kids, is that OK or do all 4 have to have tha same ticket?
Report Abuse
Under "offers" you have usually 6 fare options. You can choose a different fare for each traveller. Usually the "smart" option is the cheapest, even cheaper than "child".
If "smart" is not available any more, choose "Go" for the adults and "child" for the kids.
I understand that these special fares are flexible. For more information, look here:
One ticket for all four is okay. You can print it at home after booking.

No Italian would try to buy a local train ticket from Ventimiglia to Genova in advance. It will cost 13 EUR, plus the 4 EUR for the Monte Carlo - Ventimiglia shuttle train
Report Abuse
Not sure what you mean neckervd? Is it cheaper to buy at the monaco station?
Report Abuse
Neckervd hasn't realised you are asking about the direct express Thello train, he's referring to a slow journey on two separate basic regional trains with a change at Ventimiglia, both of which have pay-on-the-day fixed fares and no reservations.
But yes, it's nicer to take the direct Thello express train which has variable pricing - cheap in advance, more expensive on the day, and on which all seats are reserved.
Go is simply an advance-purchase rate with limits on changes and refunds.
Report Abuse
Neckervd hasn't realised you are asking about the direct express Thello train>
I did not realize that either as you somehow do - just says trains - any train to get a Trenitalia ticket for a car rental - does the Thello train - a non-Trenitalia train even count - well if it is printed on Trenitalia ticket stocks I guess.
Neckervd's regional trains would cost 17 euros total to Genova from Monaco but yes those trains take longer because they do not stop so much -not a high-speed line so bullet trains can't really go that fast but are faster because they only stop at main stations.
for general info on Italian trains check www.seat61.com- Man in Seat 61 who posts above his excellent commercial site; www.ricksteves.com and www.budgeteuropetravel.com.
Q - if you just need a Trenitalia ticket to get a good price on that Fiat why not just book a train from Ventimiglia to say San Remo and collect your car there?
Report Abuse
Thanks, PalenQ. The thello train is the only one available on trenitalia.it. Perhaps the regional trains will come up closer to departure? How long is the ride by regional train? We have to get to a house we have rented in Lavagna by 3 pm. I want to get the car in Genoa as I am going to Milano after staying at the riviera for a week.
Report Abuse
Trenitalia does not carry regional trains sometimes - at least I think I've heard that but they will be running frequently - again those tickets you just buy in Ventimiglia from a Trenitalia ticket window or machine.
I just looked at www.bahn.de/en - the German Railways scheduling site for all European trains for and for a day in mid-June it says every two hours TER and Regional trains (change at Ventimiglia) take about 4 hours to Genova from Monaco - some 3.5 hours - TER is a French regional train to Ventimgilia where you change to the Trenitalia regional train to Genoa.
Check that site for schedules of regional trains - click the box by Local Transport Only or you will only get the faster trains like that EC - Euro City Thello train the only train that goes direct between Monaco and Genoa I think- a few times a day and yes it would be an hour or so quicker but could cost more - with TER and regional trains no reason to buy early - to get a 29 euro or so fare on Thello you must book in stone a specific train weeks in advance - no changes allowed. Regional trains seem much more simple and do not take that much longer.
Q- If you rent your car in Genoa you have to return it there? If not pick up in say San Remo - with a ticket from Ventimiglia and drive on from there and return car in Genoa - your quickest way I think, avoiding driving thru a rather hectic Genoa.
familiarize yourself with No Go Zones in Italian cities where private vehicles are banned and cameras catch miscreants who get expensive tickets in the mail thru their rental company months later.

>>>Thanks, PalenQ. The thello train is the only one available on trenitalia.it.
Perhaps the regional trains will come up closer to departure? How long is the ride by regional train? <<<
Thello operates internationally which is why you can buy tickets on Trenitalia (the Italian rail site), Thello and SNCF (the French rail site). The other trains are local and operated by each country. If you look on SNCF, you will see the trains Monaco/Ventimiglia. Then you must look on Trenitalia to see the Ventimiglia/Genoa legs.
I don't see where you mentioned your travel date, but winter schedules change to summer the 2nd weekend in June. The regional trains might not be loaded in the system yet (these schedules will not change much). Regional trains don't have discounts or reserved seating (it's not available no matter when you buy). Trenitalia sells regional tickets 7 days in advance online. I don't know about the French rail site.
As for Go fares, that name is a Trenitalia holdover from their international trains between Italy/Switzerland. The Italy departures they called Smart fares (Smart 1 and 2), but if you departed from Switzerland it was called a Go fare. It seems they are using the same names on Thello with slightly different meanings. On Trenitalia, the more in depth discount info for the Thello train is on the Italian version.
>>>Do I get the tickets to print at home, get them in Monaco or do I need to go to an Italian railroad station to collect?<<<
I would assume the Monaco station has a trackside kiosk to retrieve your tickets. I know the station in Nice does. It will have the Trenitalia logo. YOu can see the kiosk in this video about 20 seconds in.

>>>No reason for buying regional trains in advance, right?<<<
Right, but the OP is talking about the Thello train, not the local regional train.
>>>would not the Thello site - www.thello.com have the best fares possible? If the bulky trenitalia site does not show them.<<<<
The fares will be the same no matter whether you use Thello or Trenitalia. Trenitalia does show them, just more in depth explanations of fare rules on the Italian version. Trenitalia does not show all discounts for various trains on the English version. Thello might not either (haven't looked at their site that thoroughly).
The GO fares are higher than the Smart fares. The Go fares for Thello can be bought 4 months in advance and up to 3 days before departure (about 28€ Genoa/Nice 2nd class). The Smart fare is 15€ and can be bought 4 months in advance until 7 days before departure. Both of those fares can sell out and then you would pay the regular fare (38€ Genoa/Nice). Change rules are different too. So if 2nd class 15€ Smart fare is sold out, it pays to see if the 1st class Smart fare (25€) is still available instead of automatically booking the 2nd class Go fare (28€). The only difference in 1st and 2nd class is slightly wider seats (10cm) and slightly more recline (similar to the Frecce trains). No other amenities are mentioned for 1st on Thello day trains (Frecce includes snacks in 1st).

The only difference in 1st and 2nd class is slightly wider seats (10cm) and slightly more recline (similar to the Frecce trains).>
You say this all the time and IME that is not the only difference - there is more space in 1st class as there are about 25% fewer seats in the same size train car as 2nd class and IME there are often more empty seats in first class than 2nd - easier to stow luggage - lots of Europeans go first class and it is not just for 10cm of wider seats and first class tickets I believe come in discounted forms too - if not much more go first class IMO and IME.
You give such valuable and informative advice but miss the boat or train on your characterization that first class only provides 10 cm or so of extra seat width - there are many more benefits than that IME - check www.seat61.com for a realistic view of the difference between classes.
Report Abuse
a major difference between classes is that only in first class can you get rows with just one seat in them - the ultimate aisle and window seat - no bothering anyone to get out or being bothered by anyone doing that - these seats can face each other with a table in between - great for couples or single travelers.
Why do you never take this into account - those seats are priceless to me - 2nd class is always or nearly always 2 by 2 facing 2 by 2 - some folks like privacy and comfort of having both an aisle and a window seat - maybe you've never ridden first class and do not realize that but do some research on that and tell me why that difference is only about 10cm of seat width???

Consider renting your car in Rapallo if the hours when the rental office work for your schedule. Or else rent it in Ventimiglia and drive the whole way.
That said, it is easier NOT to have a car at all on the Riviera, and it easier to to take the train to Milan from Lavagna than to drive from Lavagna to Milan. If for some reason you must drive to Milan, then consider taking the train to Lavagna, and pick up the car after a few days.
The only thing that might make we want a car in Lavagna is if the house where you are going is not in the town, but in the hills. But if it is in the town (or near the beaches), you will find it very difficult to park the car if you go sightseeing using the car. There is very little parking for non-residents on the Riviera.

In case my post wasn't clear, I am suggesting that you take the train from Monaco to Lavagna, but if you want a car to drive to Milan, then get the car in Rapallo after you've been in Lavagna for a few days.

He nodded subtly. "They're his. The news wouldn't dare cover this."
"Turn right down here," Camden told him and we came down another street, this one more narrow, with the trees blocking out the streetlights that were few and far between. This was still a well-to-do area, though the houses were smaller and spaced further apart, all behind tall gates and walls. I did note that it was a dead-end road, which meant there was only one way out if something were to happen to us. We couldn't be too careful, not with the choppers circling in the distance, their spotlights occasionally lighting up the sky.
"There she is," Camden said, pointing to the end of the street where jungle seemed to have taken over and there were no streetlights. I could barely make out the shape of the car in the darkness.
"She?" Javier asked, eyebrow cocked. "Its name is Jose."
Camden shrugged. "Guess she's a cross-dresser."
Javier sighed, shaking his head in disgust, and pulled the Jeep up to it. "Let's make this fast."
We hopped out and it was only now that we were closer that I saw what Camden meant by "battered."
"Holy shit, Camden!" I cried out at the sight of the poor vehicle.
"What the hell did you do to my car?" Javier yelled, his hands thrown up in the air.
The GTO had the paint scraped off all along one side, the windows on the driver's side were all shot out, the driver's side mirror was missing, the front was totally crunched up with only the right headlight intact.
"Your car?" I asked Javier once I managed to look away from poor Jose. "What happened to the past being the past?"
"Now's not the time to argue semantics," Camden interrupted us. "She's broken but she's a survivor." He fished the keys out of his suit jacket and tossed them at me. "Just like you."
I caught them and he held my eyes for a moment before walking past me back to the Jeep.
Javier scoffed, though I didn't know if it was for the state of the car or Camden's comment, and made his way to the trunk. He bumped it with his fist. "Come on, let's get her open."
I was about to hurry over to him when Camden suddenly said, "Fuck."
I spun around and looked at him. He was frozen in the act of taking off his jacket, his good arm free, his head cocked upward, eyes searching the sky. The sound of the choppers had gotten louder and over the tips of the waving trees I could see the spotlight in the sky, the blades whirring.
"Yeah, no kidding fuck," I said. I turned to Javier and quickly ran over to him, trying to get my keys into the trunk of the car. I kept fumbling, missing the lock just as the wind blew my hair back and we were lit up by the spotlight, the helicopter coming closer. We were in their sights, no doubt about that. We had been spotted.
"Hurry up!" Javier yelled at me before ripping the keys out of my hands.
Camden hit the side of the Jeep with his fist. "There's no time!" he yelled. "We have to go!"
"No!" I yelled back as Javier got the trunk open. "Not without my stuff!"
Suddenly the ground in front Camden started exploding with bullets as a steady stream of them came off the approaching chopper. We all cried out, dirt flying everywhere.
Javier quickly slammed the trunk shut. "Then we're taking Jose. Get the fuck in!"
He went for the driver's seat as Camden came running over, taking my hand and pulling me to the passenger side. He shoved me into the backseat, telling me to lie down, and barely got in the car himself before Javier was gunning the engine and driving the car backward. I could feel the wheels spinning for grip beneath my head and tried to sit up just as the sound of more bullets filled the air. I was tossed back down as Javier put the pedal to the floor and turned the wheel, the sheer power of the rear wheels grinding until we did a 180 until we were facing the right way. The chopper was now directly above us and I could feel the wind its blades created flowing through the smashed windows, the spotlight blinding me.
"Hang on," Javier said, "this is going to get ugly before it gets better."
He pressed down on the gas again and the car roared loudly before it lurched forward and we were all pinned back to our seats from the force. This is exactly why I loved this car. I just hoped he was stronger than he looked at the moment.
We raced down the street, the chopper in hot pursuit, the whir of blades and bullets gaining on us. I leaned forward between the seats, reaching for the glove compartment, waving my hand at it when I couldn't reach. "My gun, give me my gun!"

MICHELE NORRIS, host:
The trial of the radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza began in London today. He's charged with 16 offenses, including incitement to murder and possessing a document relating to terrorism. He's also the subject of an extradition request from the US government. The US has accused Abu Hamza of being an intermediary for terrorist groups and attempting to set up a terror training camp in Oregon. NPR's Rob Gifford reports from London.
ROB GIFFORD reporting:
In May 2004 British anti-terrorism police arrested Abu Hamza al-Masri at his home in London. US Attorney General John Ashcroft held a news conference in Washington in which he requested Abu Hamza's extradition to the United States. Among other crimes, Ashcroft accused Abu Hamza of orchestrating a plot to take 16 Western tourists hostage in Yemen in 1998 and planning to set up a training camp for militant Muslims near the town of Bly in rural Oregon.
(Soundbite of news conference)
Mr. JOHN ASHCROFT (Former US Attorney General): The indictment alleges that on our about October the 25th, 1999, a co-conspiratorr communicated to Hamza that co-conspirators were stockpiling weapons and ammunition in the United States. It is also alleged that around the same time Hamza received a proposal by fax regarding the creation of Bly jihad training camp.
GIFFORD: Ashcroft stood in front a picture of Abu Hamza. He's an easily recognizable man because, in addition to his long beard and Muslim robes, he has one blind staring eye and a prosthetic hook in place of his right hand, injuries he says he sustained while fighting the Soviet Union with the Mujahedeenin in Afghanistan. Since then he's been based in London where he used to preach incendiary sermons at a north London mosque. Charges against him in Britain do not include acts of terrorism, but he is charged with encouraging people in his sermons to murder Jews and other non-Muslims. Many British people, including Labor Party member of Parliament Andrew Dismore, have campaigned long and hard for some action to be taken against preachers like Abu Hamza.
Mr. ANDREW DISMORE (Member of British Parliament): One of the arguments being is whether these people are simply loudmouths or whether anything more serious has been going on. Well, I figure that the 7th of July attacks in London were quite a wake-up call. There's no suggestion Abu Hamza was directly involved in those, but I think that that has led to much greater urgency on the part of the government. I think that we now are seeing a much more vigorous approach by the government in relation to dealing with the problem of potential terrorists in the UK.
GIFFORD: Dismore is one of the more moderate voices in Britain. The British tabloids have gone to town on radicals like Abu Hamza and the so-called Taunton Taliban. `The sooner Captain Hook is off British soil, the better' screamed a typical editorial in The Sun newspaper. The British government has long suspected Abu Hamza of recruiting radicals such as the convicted shoe bomber Richard Reid and Zacarias Moussaoui. Tim Ripley of the Center of Defense and International Security Studies says just as in the United States, the British government is walking a fine line between allowing free speech and protecting national security. But in this case, Ripley fears the government may be acting to appease public opinion.
Mr. TIM RIPLEY (Center of Defense and International Security Studies): Over the past five years certainly in the UK there's a number of what you'd call celebrities, Islamic radical cases, where these figures who are like Abu Hamza have become media celebrities. The actual media hubbub about the case actually takes on a life of its own beyond the mere facts of what this individual might have done. And certainly the British government is very attuned to what tabloid these papers write and say.
GIFFORD: Abu Hamza has denied any wrongdoing or links to terrorism. He's still fighting moves to strip him of his British citizenship. It's likely that regardless of the result of his trial in the UK, it could be a long time before there's any chance of extradition to the United States. Rob Gifford, NPR News, London.

This touching essay reminds me of when my daughter and her close friend, then in high school, attended one of Sedaris' readings and spoke with him afterwards at a Raleigh event. He was so gracious and made them feel unique. He even complimented my daughter's blouse and added a sketch while autographing his book. What a wonderful man!
what is this
However, slavery in the Indian nations differed in significant ways from American slavery. By most accounts, black families owned by Indians were not sold apart and usually were permitted to live together even if individual family members had different masters. Indian slaveholders generally did not use violence to control their slaves, and slaves were not regarded as dehumanized beasts of burden. Despite the nations' restrictive slave codes, blacks were allowed to gather on their own for religious services and were usually permitted to learn to read and write. Slaves who spoke and wrote English, furthermore, provided important services as translators for those Indians who were not fluent in English. Because many slaves had been born and raised in the Indian nations and had long family histories among the Indians, they shared many of the distinctive features of Indian culture and daily life. Black women in the Creek Nation, for example, prepared food according Indian customs and wore the same style of clothing as Creek women.
Although slaves did not have lives characterized by brutality and exploitation, they nonetheless occupied a degraded status as unfree people in the Indian nations, and their acts of resistance highlighted their desire to acquire freedom. In 1842 slaves in the Cherokee Nation took horses, supplies, guns, and ammunition and attempted to flee from the Indian Territory to Mexico, where slavery had been abolished. In 1850 Seminole leader Wild Cat left the Indian Territory with approximately three hundred blacks to establish a settlement in Mexico.
Right Back read this today and not tomorrow. Florida minister died Dec. 16th. Sorry.
I'm glad all the male writers in Chapel Hill are talking to each other.
Great profile! I love TMN, glad to have Mr Baldwin in the area.
Terrific excerpt. Life back then wasn't easy for many of our ancestors, white immigrants or black slaves..Just another example of man's inhumanity to man, if the social institutions allowed him to get away with it. "No Irish Need Apply" was a common storefront sign in New York a century ago. ANd so on.
I'm currently reading "Jake Fades"and am thoroughly enjoying it!!!
This piece was written in August '07 and no comments have been made to date (February '09)? That's not a good sign. I came across the bookcover coincidentally in AlterNet News. There was no explanation, synopsis - nothing. Nothing in Amazon.com's listing of the book. I reached this page through Google.
Whatsamattafayou people? Poor elin o'Hara slavick. Has she sold a single book? Is she related to e E cummings? The Indy piece is reminiscent for some reason of Slaughterhouse Five, though Vonnegut's journalistic perspective is from the ground up, which eliminates any of the metaphorical stuff inherent in graphic art depicting nasty social events. I think Guernica does it (art imitating life) better, although some of o'Hara slavick's pieces might rest easier on a wall (and the eye) than would this Picasso.
Sarah set the standard!
Unfortunately, I have not had the opprotunity to read the book, however I have several friends who have. I plan on reading the book in the near future and will not allow the book to distort what I already know about Rev. Kenny. He came to my home church (Orange Grove Missionary Baptist Church) when I was 14 years old and was a good pastor and a true confidant. He never judged me nor any of my actions. He always had a way w/ people by meeting them where they were in their life. Therefore, I will always treat him the same manner. He is a human being like myself and should not be looked at as God himself who is free from sin. Being a pastor does not free you from committing sin. As I grown spritually over the years have been taught that God is the only perfect being. So, when those who profess to be Christians cannot forgive, nurture, and support our fellow brothers and sisiters I call them hyprocrits b/c God commands us to do this in the name of his son Jesus. I beleive that Rev. Kenny is a man of the cloth who came under the attack of the Devil b/c he he had and was doing great things at Orange Grove. So, instead of judging and prosecuting him I prayed for him and his family that God would prevail. I do beleive that God's will has been done and for that Rev. Kenny's experiences will be a path to God for someone who is lost. Just remember God is the only true judger.

Jose Feliciano on His Return to the Iridium
"It's Time to Start Writing More Because I Can't Always Depend on Other People's Material"
When Les Paul went on to the great gig in the sky nearly four years ago, he left his guitar progeny to carry on his long-running Monday night slot at the Iridium. The void has since been filled by a rotating cast of notable guitarists—including Jeff Beck, Joe Walsh and Lita Ford. On Monday, José Feliciano returns to the club to begin a new run of performances.
Tours of South America and Europe are currently in the works for Mr. Feliciano, the 67-year-old product of East Harlem, and on the day of this interview he was in...

Nature.com is reporting today that researchers from MIT have created a robotic snail capable of climbing vertical walls and traveling upside down across ceilings. The team, led by Anette Hosoi, developed the mechanical slug primarily to study the locomotive mechanisms of biological snails, although they believe the results of their research will eventually end up in practical robot applications.

Workmen removed the "Home of Buffalo Bill" sign today that has long stood beside the Historic Sheridan Inn.
Bob Townsend, owner of the inn, said the sign will be replaced by a new sign that will basically say the same thing but that will be more in keeping with the architecture and culture of the inn.
He said there absolutely needs to be a sign – and the new sign absolutely has to tie in with the architecture of the building. He is working with a Sheridan company, and a new sign will be installed as soon as plans are finalized.
The owner said the old sign was in too bad a shape for a mere repainting. He added, "It didn't represent the building well at all." The poles supporting the old sign have been left in place to facilitate installation of the new one.
In addition to tearing down the sign, crews today prepared to repaint the exterior of the inn.

Chapter I – Inner Balance
Every rock, every little bump in the ground is there for a reason. In a world, where nothing ever seems to be enough, the small details that keep together the whole are sometimes too easy to step over. On this land, stripping down to the bare necessities of equipment, exposing oneself to situations whose outcome is unclear, becomes the real adventure.
With one car, two tents and three wheels four longtime friends from three countries take it upon themselves to explore the cold, steaming hills of Iceland. In order to get our bodies and skills ready for this trip, we had gone on three shorter trips to the Italian Alps earlier in the season. Incredible peaks, rocky and technical trails, wild camping without showers, not seeing any other humans for days, dealing with rainy days and getting lost. On the night before the flight that would take us north, we took our unicycles apart, put them in our bag and stuffed the little clothing the weight limits allowed around it. What would the cold rough land of the vikings bring? We had no idea, if we were honest.
Mountain unicycling is demanding on your mind and body. With one tiny spot connecting you and the ground to keep your balance, it's crucial to stay focused, to notice every detail of the ground in front of you. If you let all the steam, the softly shaped hills and fluffy snow tops distract you, the next thing you'll take in is the earthy smell of the clay-colored soil your nose was lucky to miss.
Staying focused is as crucial as being humble, knowing when a line might be above your capabilities will save you from injury or worse. So place your feet securely on the pedals, pull the brake and lean back at the same time, pull on the seat to hop over a rock and don't break too much in the slippery mud, because a sliding unicycle is even harder to balance.
Every mountain and every trail is unique. We never know what it will be like to ride it, until we actually do. We'll get up early in the morning, eat a quick steaming breakfast that'll keep us warm from the inside, then stuff everything we need for the day in our backpacks: shin and knee protection, gloves, helmet, first aid kit, maps, camera, lenses and batteries, sandwiches, fruits, clifbars, plus a light down puffy and rain jacket, if we don't already wear them. On our way up, we try to read the trail. That section looks rideable, these switchbacks could be fun. Will I dare to ride down this big rock later? Big views and jokes at the top. Before the cold wind can make us freeze, we put on our gear. "If you brake, you lose," says Lutz and vanishes down towards the valley. Jesper and I look at each other, grin, and hop on our unis and follow him down the trail.

From the Bride:
Ben and I were engaged two years prior to our wedding so we had a lot of time to figure out what we liked and wanted our wedding day ultimately to be. When I was a little girl I always knew I wanted daisies and the color yellow and that is where the dream of our wedding day started. We chose the month of May, because to me that was ultimate spring weather….April showers should be gone and May flowers should be blooming….. although since the weather in the Midwest is so unpredictable we opted for an indoor reception. The River Center gave us the best of both worlds…it looked like a huge white tent inside covered with white lights to give the allusion you were outside. All along our theme was an outdoor wedding brought indoors with a kind of rustic feel. Etsy really helped to add some of the little special touches to make our day more personal.
All week prior to our wedding the forecast was calling for rain in Illinois and Iowa the weekend of our wedding. I had made up my mind early that week I wasn't going to let the weather ruin our day. So of course the morning of our wedding at 6 am I woke up to rain that lasted until the last song was played at our reception. Despite the rain, our wedding day was everything I had always dreamed of. We were surrounded by friends and family who love us both dearly and helped us celebrate the love that Ben and I have for each other which ultimately was everything I could have asked for. In the end the rain did not change a thing about our wedding day not even outdoor pictures!

Matt from Chicago, Il writes,
How should one decide whether to use 3 inch versus 8 inch spikes?
for city pigeons around gutters and windows
MasterLine Bird Spike System - Stainless Steel inch measurement is actually the width of the base of the spike. So, if you are treating a wider surface you would go with the 8 in.

Noise nuisance and the public interest
The High Court has broken new ground in developing the principles of common law nuisance in a case brought against the Ministry of Defence in respect of noise from military aircraft. The judgment demonstrates the influence of the Human Rights Act in how the courts now approach such cases, and the outcome could have significant implications for governmental and other public works giving rise to potential nuisance claims.

For the first time, Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor speaks directly to his fans and shares his worldview about life as a sinner. And Taylor knows how to sin. As a small-town hero in the early '90s, he threw himself into a fierce-drinking, drug-abusing, hard-loving, live-for-the-moment life. Soon Taylor's music exploded, and he found himself rich, wanted, and on the road.
His new and ever-more-extreme lifestyle had an unexpected effect, however; for the first time, he began to actively think about what it meant to sin and whether sinning could - or should - be recast in a different light. Seven Deadly Sins is Taylor's personal story, but it's also a larger discussion of what it means to be seen as either a "good" person or a "bad" one. Yes, Corey Taylor has broken the law and hurt people, but, if sin is what makes us human, how wrong can it be?
"Fans of the heavy metal band Slipknot will eagerly devour its lead singer/songwriter Taylor's first book, which displays a prose that perfectly captures the supercharged energy, aggression, and outrageousness of Slipknot's music.... Powerful and moving." (Publishers Weekly)

Such a raw story from a deeply interesting artist!
The sound of Corey Taylor's voice was the perfect way to experience this story. I appreciated the highs and lows, the truth, the savagery, and the sin. No one could narrate this story the same way!
The honesty and the outrageous, surreal scenarios.
I could read this story over and over, but I am convinced that I would not get the same feel or the unique appreciation for the story if I hadn't had him to read it "to me". I wish he would have read it more like the spoken word though... Using the proper language doesn't seem like his real style. While he is artistic and eloquent, I just don't get the sense that he speaks without the use of contractions. At times, he would get excited and you could feel the essence of the part of the story he was recalling. That was the most genuine part of the story and I appreciated how some of the inner dialogue of the mind escaped and found its way into his prose.
Each time he recalled his early youth, it made me so sad for him. His recollection was a testament to how people who experience violence in their childhood can remain a victim of it all their life or they can use it to heal and to change their lives. He is a dedicated parent and invested in the lives of his children to ensure that they will not endure the same nightmarish hardships he was subjected to by his ridiculous excuse for a mother.
I CANNOT WAIT for his next book. I hope he narrates it too. I wish I hadn't waited so long to be a fan but I will remain so for life!

Seven Deadly Sins
Sure. Seven Deadly Sins was pretty good, so I'd try another if he wrote one. I'd prefer a real autobiography though.
He doesn't have any unless you count his performances in Slipknot and Stone Sour. You can't really compare those to this though.
Not really. He's mostly ranting. I agree with him in most of his ranting which is nice, but it's not really moving.
If you like Corey Taylor, you might like his book. I really don't know who I would tell to buy this book.

Baking with Belinda
Today is my 200th blog post! I have been blogging for nearly one year and I must say that my blog has so far fulfilled what I wanted it to – it makes me feel like a food writer! My next blog goal is to get more readers. :0) I had every intention of making something nice to celebrate, but kind of ran out of time and so decided to wait until my on year anniversary which is coming up in September
Also, even though I talked about our holiday yesterday, we don't actually go until Sunday, so time for a couple more posts before then!
About a month ago I bought a book called Mix & Bake by Belinda Jeffrey who is an Australian cook. The book is a lovely baking book and is divided into sections such as chocolate, slices, fruit cakes etc. I made a couple of recipes from the book in the weekend including the raspberry muffins pictured above and some polenta shortbread.
The raspberry muffins were lovely and light. They had the juice and zest of an orange in them which gave a lovely flavour contrast to the raspberries. When I make muffins that have got berries in them I like to use paper cases, as otherwise, I find that the berries can stick to the bottom of the muffin tin.
The polenta shortbreads are lovely plain little biscuits. They are quick to make and are made in the food processor. I don't do a lot of baking in my food processor – mainly because it is a pain to clean! The shortbread are made in the same way as pastry. The other thing that makes them nice and quick, is that you roll the dough into a log, then slice off chilled rounds – a bit quicker than rolling and cutting! You could also add different spices to the basic mix to get different results.
I am looking forward to making more from Mix & Bake.
Polenta Shortbread (from Mix & Bake by Belinda Jeffrey)
270g flour
160g cornmeal
165g castor sugar
1/8 tsp baking powder
250g butter
1 egg
1 tbsp vanilla
· Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar and b powder in a food processor. Pulse in the butter until the mixture resembles oats
· Beat the egg with the vanilla, then pulse this mixture into the cookie dough until the mixture starts to come together
· Roll dough into a log, wrap well and refrigerate for 2 hours (I froze mine for about 20 minutes)
Slice off 75mm slices and bake at 170c for 20 minutes or until golden brown

Happy 200 posts! I've been enjoying your blog for a while but I don't think I've left a comment before :( I especially like your Kiwi recipes since my sister has recently moved to New Zealand. I'd love to hear more about the New Zealand version of the choc chip cookies you mentioned a while back - they sound very tasty!

4 DECEMBER, 2016:With Australians predicted to spend $8.39 billion on household goods over the Christmas trading period, retailers have seen a promising uplift in both foot traffic and online store visits in the past two weeks.
ARA Executive Director, Russell Zimmerman, said "Although brick and mortar stores are seeing an increase in patronage and purchases as we enter the peak shopping period, online sales will also contribute a sizeable chunk to total Christmas spend."
"The rise in digital sales stems from an increased sense in comfort around purchasing and browsing on mobile devices," Mr Zimmerman said.
Steve Cox, Dymocks Managing Director says 2016 will be a bonanza year for booklovers at Dymocks, as all the blockbuster new releases have hit the shelves early.
"With over 500 titles in the Christmas catalogues, we expect to sell well over two million books between now and Christmas."
"It can't be Christmas without the magic of Harry Potter," said Mr Cox, "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts I and II was the biggest selling book of the last decade, with Dymocks selling close to 90,000 copies since July."
"The last few months have seen the release of the Illustrated Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secretsand the original screenplay of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, so whether you're an existing fan or new to the wizarding world, they make the perfect addition to any reader's bookshelf," Mr Cox said.
Roy Morgan's Young Australian Survey also highlighted Harry Potter as a hot item on children's Christmas lists this year, with 36% of kids asking Santa for a copy of Harry Potter.

Always start with praise and worship. Thanksgiving. Reading/meditating on the Word. Praying for others and yourself. That's just my view.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
Factors that play into creating a greater overall family worship, would be that each individual family member strives to create a personal relationship with God themselves. The bible says that they that worship God must worship him in spirit and in truth, and to worship him is personal between you and God. When each family member creates a relationship with him, then to worship God with your family will ultimatley be a greater experience.

Family worship is one of the most sacred times you can experience. It is best done in honesty and simplicity. One need not make pretensious or grandious sermonettes during this time. Start with prayer, then the Word of God, then end with discussion about what you have learned. Take time to praise God and Jesus for their work in your family's life. Share your day with God as you share it with your family. Above all be REAL.

There are three nouns and five verbs translated worship in the Greek New Testament. Mr. W. E. Vine sums up the conclusion to "worship," "…broadly it ("worship," dm) may be regarded as the direct acknowledgment to God, of His nature, attributes, ways and claims, whether by the outgoing of the heart in praise and thanksgiving or by deed done in such acknowledgment" (Expository dictionary of New Testament Words).
Now that you have a definition of what Worship really means, we can start there!
praise (prz)
1. Expression of approval, commendation, or admiration.
2. The extolling or exaltation of a deity, ruler, or hero.
3. Archaic A reason for praise; merit.
Thanksgiving \Thanks"giv`ing\, n.
1. The act of rending thanks, or expressing gratitude for favors or mercies.
Every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving. --1 Tim. iv. 4.
In the thanksgiving before meat. --Shak.
And taught by thee the Church prolongs Her hymns of high thanksgiving still. --Keble.
2. A public acknowledgment or celebration of divine goodness; also, a day set apart for religious services, specially to acknowledge the goodness of God, either in any remarkable deliverance from calamities or danger, or in the ordinary dispensation of his bounties.
1. That which is done or effected by a responsible agent; an act; an action; a thing done; -- a word of extensive application, including, whatever is done, good or bad, great or small.
And Joseph said to them, What deed is this which ye have done? --Gen. xliv. 15.
We receive the due reward of our deeds. --Luke xxiii. 41.
Now that those components are defined we can go forward!
Ok so what we have by breaking it down by definition is a functional "map" to follow!
Your family can choose to Worship together by Praising God/Jesus through Prayer, Song or even Talking about how much you admire and exalt Him!
You can Worship together by in Thanksgiving in Prayer, Song, or Talking about how much you appreciate all God/Jesus has done for you. Discuss particular answers to prayer. Times you have avoided danger and you felt His presence!
Your family can Worship together in Deed, by service within the Church or Community, by spreading the Word, By avoiding Sin!
I pray this has helped you!

Living in Texas, I crave Tex-Mex food. Crave. I crave it all.the.time. This is an easy recipe that the kids love, too! Who can resist anything with the word pie in it? (Well, I can, especially if "pie" is preceded by "pot." That's an entirely different blog entry though.) I *will* do pictures soon, but I can't seem to find the one I took, so I'll just have to make it again. Aw, shucks. ;-D Another excuse for more Tex-Mex inspired food in our house!
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
1 package frozen baby white and gold corn
1 ½ C Medium Fire Roasted Chipotle Salsa (You can use mild if you're serving to kids)
6 oz. pepper jack cheese , coarsely grated (2 Cups)
2 scallions thinly sliced
½ t ground cumin
4 (10 inch) flour tortillas (burrito size)
5 T oil
***optional*** 1 lb. ground beef & 1 pkg (or 7 tsp) of taco seasoning – prepared) OR drained leftover chicken from "Crockpot Chicken Tacos"
Accompaniment: sour cream and guacamole
Put oven rack in lower 1/3 of oven and preheat to 450.
Stir together beans, corn, salsa, cheese , scallions, and cumin (*and taco meat or chicken) in large bowl.
Heat heavy 12" skillet over high heat. Pour oil in and gently fry tortillas turning over once, until puffed and golden in spots. (about 1 minute)
Put 1 tortilla in a well-greased large springform pan. Spread with 1 1/3 C of filling. Repeat layering twice, then top with remaining tortilla, gently pressing to help layers adhere.
Bake until filling is heated through, about 12 minutes. Transfer with a large metal spatula to a platter, then cut into pie wedges with a serrated knife.

Ud i naturen, have det sjovt, opleve nye steder. Minder kan ikke prissættes og giver ny energi. Leder du efter en pålidelig makker til dine aktiviteter, så er GROUND CONTROL lige noget for dig. Den har 27,5" hjul som er nemme at styre, 130mm affjedring der giver nydelse på sporet. Det er en fantastisk tour-cykel med et godt affjedringssystem – hurtig, levende og parat. Den føler sig hjemme på snørklede spor, men sine gode styreegenskaber. Den afbalancerede geometri er lavet til lange ture; den elsker flydende spor, lige så meget som hurtige weekendture. GROUND CONTROL kan også fås i størrelse XS, med 115mm affjedring bag. GROUND CONTROL venter på at opleve verden sammen med dig!
GROUND CONTROL – styr på sporet
Conquer the mountain – with the GROUND CONTROL 1! The bike's sophisticated geometry makes it perfectly suitable for all kinds of off-road adventures. To ensure that the suspension system can show its strengths, the GROUND CONTROL 1 is completely equipped with Rock Shox components. At the front, a Rock Shox Revelation RL Solo Air ensures a smooth ride. It comes with a 15 mm thru axle and 130 mm of travel. The Revelation shows a perfect compromise between weight and torsional stiffness, while offering great sensitivity. As it features the Motion Control DNA system, it offers soft damping and perfectly reacts to several compressions in quick succession. In addition, the bike comes with a Rock Shox Monarch RT3 rear shock. It controls 130 mm of travel at the rear stay, while reacting extremely sensitively and measures the ground like a seismograph. The Monarch RT3 comes with a larger air chamber for even more control and traction so that the bike won't even lose ground in sharp corners on on rough terrain.
A little all-mountain bike with the look of a cross country racer – the GROUND CONTROL 2 is a perfect example for versatility. The precise SRAM GX groupset consisting of a crankset, shifter, front derailleur and rear derailleur ensures perfect and powerful acceleration. It combines light, crisp shifting processes with a low weight and top-notch workmanship – and does also look damn good. As regards tyres, this bike relies on a modern classic: The Schwalbe Nobby Nic Evo Snakeskin tyres offer low rolling resistance, a lot of grip and are extremely resistant to punctures thanks to a reinforced sidewall. For increased riding dynamics, the GROUND CONTROL 2 comes with a Rock Shox Reverb Stealth. This Vario seatpost can be controlled from the handlebar; the hydraulic cable is routed through the frame to protect it from dirt, damages and envious glances. It offers an adjustment range of 150 mm so that the seatpost can be dropped so far that nothing is standing in the way of technically demanding situations.
Our leader of adventurers, equipped with best components and convincing performance - this is the GROUND CONTROL 3. The top model offers high-tech equipment as far as the eye can see. The drivetrain is reliable and offers the highest technological standard. It comes from the brand Shimano: Rear derailleur, front derailleur, shifter, cassette and crankset all bear the XT label. Thanks to the Shadow technology, the XT rear derailleur is extremely slim, which significantly reduces the risk of contact to rocks, roots or similar. A pair of excellent wheels - DT Swiss XM 1501 Spline One – tops off the package. The high-quality system wheelset features the Straight Pull system that stands out for an even load distribution along the spokes. On conventional models with a spoke elbow, the bent part of the spoke is subject to heavy loads which may result in spoke breakage or a total failure of the wheel. However, on the DT Swiss wheel, this risk is further reduced by a locking system that is injected into the nipple thread for increased stiffness and durability of the wheel.

Pamaskong Anyaya
This is year's Paskorus contest song for juniors and seniors. Our class will be performing somewhere on November, so we're now practicing in our breaks and any possible time every day. The pressure's surely on us because we are expected to win out of our hard work, and also since we are the only junior representative in the contest. Even our STR teacher, who is also our homeroom adviser, offered us a bonus in STR grade so that we would be inspired to win. Now, we really have to win!
Our class is divided into four groups: Sopranos (I'm in here), Altos, Tenors and Bases. The problem so far is, there's no much difference in the melody of the song between the different vocals, so we really have to win by the unison and timing. We have to get the right notes clearly because judges will surely notice the mistakes there.
It's really hard to teach the boys though, from what I have seen in every practice because they're not paying attention. But so far all in all, I think we're doing okay. I have never yet experienced winning the Paskorus so I really wish we win this time. I'll be doing my best too.
Here are the lyrics:
Maghintay sa pagsilang ng Kamahal-mahalan
Ihanda ang sarili at ang buong sambayanan
Pagtutunggali'y kalimutan
Pagmamaramot ay talikdan
Anyayahan sa puso't isip Siyang huwaran
Do'n sa silangan Niya, tanawin tuwina
Halimbawa ng payak na buhay
Ating iwasan ang pagnanasang lahat ay kamtin
Buhay Niya ang mithiin
Papayapa ang mundo kung tayo'y magbago't (KORO)
Do'n sa silangan Niya, tanawin tuwina
Ang pasakit ng Kristong sumapit
Sa karukhaa'y nagmula Magandang Balita ng Diyos
Bugtong na Anak ng Diyos
Hindi mo man mahigtan, sarili'y ihanda't (KORO)
Kalimita'y nalulunod tayo sa rangya
Ng paghahanda sa araw ng sangnilikha
Kung babalik tayo sa pinagmulan Niya
Higit na makabuluhan ang pagdiriwang (KORO)
Anyayahan sa puso't isip Siyang huwaran!
