Please note this article includes spoilers for the narrative of Battlefield 1. Proceed with caution.
There are many examples of terrific stories in the FPS genre, the best of which is the BioShock series. However, while the story contains one of the best plot twists in gaming, the gameplay doesn't really complement the narrative. You are a character mowing through enemies by the dozen, all while someone is talking in your ear. You could get the same story just by having the narrator talk to you while a movie is playing on screen.
However, Battlefield 1 does something different. It captivates the player by showing us the humanity of the character. EA DICE does an amazing job of humanizing war and taking you out of the role of "supreme badass," showing you the emotional side to every soldier, something that has rarely been captured in gaming.
Battlefield 1's Story Mode Layout
The story mode in Battlefield 1 is different to nearly every other FPS, in that it is nonlinear. You are not one war hero moving through a single campaign, similar to World War I itself. Rather, you are a myriad of soldiers — or in some cases scoundrels — who are part of distinct nations and military campaigns throughout the theater of war. This disruption allows the storytelling to be fluid, with some narratives being first person, some a recounting from a veteran, and some even being possibly untrue. As with all good stories, however, they capture the audience and drive them forward ceaselessly.
The Campaign(s)
As mentioned, the campaign is not singular; Battlefield 1 follows the story of six different soldiers spread across the various battlefields of WWI. The game opens with a poignant message about the war and its survivors, and proceeds to discuss the likelihood of survival for a soldier in front-line combat. You are not expected to survive the first mission.
Right away you're given a different viewpoint than most war-based FPSs will give you — that of someone on the losing end of a firefight. The player is able to pick one of five war stories that follow a single soldier through a military campaign, and these stories are all meant to offer a glimpse of that particular campaign's type of warfare.
Through Mud And Blood
The first war story I chose to undertake was similar to the narrative of World War II drama Fury, starring Brad Pitt and Shia Labeouf.
In Battlefield 1, a young British driver is attached to a WWI landship (read: tank) crew, and their first mission is to drive through German fortifications until they reach, and capture, a French village. As with most plans in wartime, the attack quickly falters, and soon the tank is isolated, behind enemy lines, in a forest filled with traps specifically meant to destroy tanks. Sound familiar?
Eventually the tank makes it clear, but not without casualties. There is a heroic last stand, and only the driver and one other crew member make it out. But while all this is occurring, the driver is changing. He reflects on his life back in Britain, and eventually realizes that he is no longer the same man, made all the more apparent when he removes his white driving gloves, now completely blood soaked.
This particular narrative was the closest to what I would deem an interactive movie. The storytelling and drama are reminiscent of a script, but the player is still in the driver's seat, literally and figuratively in this case.
The Runner
Something to keep in mind about WWI was that it occurred from 1914–1918, a time when the world was just beginning to develop radio as a means of effectively communicating over great distances. Prior to that, and in the middle of a battlefield, there were two ways to get messages delivered: by carrier pigeon, or you would deliver it yourself.
"The Runner" campaign follows an Australian soldier through the experience of undertaking such a role. The campaign story notably has you dodging artillery strikes — both Turkish and British troops — as you try to deliver messages between command posts. The story revolves around the protagonist, a rugged veteran, trying to keep a green recruit alive by volunteering for these missions, and saving the rookie a number of times from near-death experiences. This rapid development of a father-son relationship is catalyzed by the constant threat of death raining down from the sky, and a looming Turkish castle, heavily fortified.
Ultimately, the veteran sacrifices his life in a desperate attempt to buy time for his rookie to escape, by single-handedly assaulting the castle, knowing full well that British artillery was about the blow the entire area out of existence. The last shot of the campaign is of Frank Bishop, the veteran, looking out from the courtyard at the bay, filled with British ships, as they begin bombarding. He smiles, knowing his rookie has made it.
This particular story differs from the majority of other wartime FPSs as it demonstrates that not all heroes are survivors, and that sometimes to save your fellow soldier, you need to be willing to sacrifice your own life.
Nothing Is Written
The third war story focuses on one of the more controversial campaigns and heroes (depending who you talk to) of WWI. The campaign follows the guerrilla warfare of Lawrence of Arabia and his Bedouin tribe as they fight against the much better-equipped Ottoman Empire in Arabia. While the gamer does not play as Lawrence himself, they assume the role of his right hand, a Bedouin warrior who excels at this particular brand of warfare. While most FPSs have missions where the hero is stuck behind enemy lines, in this particular case there are no such clear boundaries; you are outnumbered and outgunned in every sense of the word. Yet against all odds, in this particular mission you are able to overcome those odds and knock the Ottomans back a step.
Avanti Savoia
The fourth war story is where the developers started to deviate from the more traditional types of storytelling. In "Avanti Savoia," the first cutscene isn't of a field camp, or the beginning of an assault — it's of a man, sitting at his desk, looking at pictures from the war. He is joined by his granddaughter, who asks him to tell his story.
This man's story is of his brother's final mission in the Italian army, while the protagonist is a member of the Arditi, an elite Italian unit whose motto is along the lines of "Victory or Death." The protagonist's brother is a member of the regular infantry. While assaulting a heavily defended Austro-Hungarian fort, everything goes to hell and the assault falters, all while the protagonist is narrating to his granddaughter.
At this point, the protagonist begins a nearly one-man assault on the fort, and as he describes his mission — to look for his brother who he believes is dead — his granddaughter gasps in disbelieve.
As the protagonist assaults and eventually succeeds in capturing the fort, he desperately searches for his lost brother, with the player hearing this survivor describe this scene to his family.
Ultimately, just as the protagonist is giving up on the hope that his brother survived, he is found dead, just outside the fort walls, and finally the player knows that the story being told was about the death of the protagonist's brother, not the victorious assault on the fort.
Friends In High Places
The final war story has one of the most interesting twists, especially for a AAA game.
"Friends in High Places" tells the story of an American scoundrel who wants to fly a British plane. It opens with the protagonist stealing a plane from an earl in the Royal Air Force, and impersonating said pilot so that his co-pilot doesn't become suspicious.
While their first training mission goes well, resulting in the scoundrel finding out about a large German weapons depot, the second mission isn't such a success. Carrying out an assault the depot they discovered during the first mission, the plane is shot down in No Man's Land, a stretch of ground between the French and German trenches, where anything moving will be shot.
While the protagonist was able to jump out of his plane and land behind enemy lines, his co-pilot was not so lucky. As the protagonist is making his way through, he comes across the downed plane, with the co-pilot injured but alive. The protagonist is faced with a decision: Escape on his own, or try to save the co-pilot. As the scoundrel plans to leave, his co-pilot demands that he either be saved, or the scoundrel kills him himself. At which point the protagonist picks up a 2x4 and is about to kill the co-pilot before he has a change of heart.
After rescuing the co-pilot, the scoundrel is eventually arrested and will be court-martialed for stealing the plane. However, before he is sentenced, the Germans attack. Ultimately, after a daring rescue, and seemingly saving London from destruction by bombers, the protagonist climbs out of the River Thames and looks at the camera. He begins to say that while he is a hero, others might tell a different story. One in which he didn't save his co-pilot, but rather killed him, and instead of saving London he simply slipped away and worked his way through Western Europe.
This introduction of a potential deviation of the story, one in which the player can't trust the storyteller, particularly stuck with me the most, because it is one of the more difficult storytelling techniques to execute. By forcing the player to call into question the validity of the story, the gamer typically goes through the entirety of the story in their head, solidifying it in their minds.
The Wrap-Up
While the gameplay in Battlefield 1 will be familiar to those who have played an EA DICE game before, the storytelling is radically different. Most of the narratives are tales that capture the attention of the player in ways games of the FPS genre typically do not. Battlefield 1 shows that war is hell, and the survivors are not necessarily the lucky ones.
I hope this review of the story mode will speak to the players who have thus far neglected it, and convince them to give it a second chance to enjoy the experience and the diverse styles of storytelling.

I'm looking for a place to go with my husband for our one year wedding anniversary. Here's what we're looking for:
~Want to spend no more than $200 in total (including wine, tax, and tip); ideally would be closer to $100 but we're willing to spend a little more to get something really great.
~We don't eat meat, but we do eat fish. I love seafood, my husband less so. We like all varieties of food, my only issue is that I don't want to go to a really fancy restaurant that has only one or two non-meat options on the menu. If we're going to spend three figures, I want at least a few options to pick from. Feel like that's a little hard to find with a lot of the upscale restaurants in the city. We're open to vegetarian restaurants, but we've tried a lot of the upscale ones (Candle 79, V Note, Gobo, Dirt Candy).
~This is for next Monday, so a place that needs reservations weeks in advance won't work. I'd also prefer to avoid places where we'll have to wait a while to be seated. Hopefully the fact that it's a Monday we'll help. That being said, we'd be willing to go out on the weekend if the place we pick is closed on Monday.
So, suggestions?

Missing Person from the 18th District
"The Philadelphia Police Department needs the public�s assistance in locating Missing Person*Sianni Pugh. Sianni was reported missing from her residence on the 6200 block of Ellsworth Street on Monday, October 19th, 2015 around 9 pm.
Sianni is 21 years old, 5�5″, 117lbs, with hazel eyes, and long, black, straight hair. It is unknown what she was wearing. Sianni has gone missing in the past."

"When from a long distant past nothing persists, after the people are dead, after things are broken and scattered, still alone, more persistent, more faithful, the smell and taste of things remain poised a long, long time like souls, ready to remind us, waiting, hoping for their moment amid the ruins of all the rest, and bear unfaltering in the tiny and almost impalpable drop of their essence the vast structure of recollection."

peanut brittle
Monday, March 21, 2011
You've been a lovely member of our family for 6 years now and we've enjoyed ever moment of it.
I've made sure you've been bright white, with a clean keyboard. Made sure your mouse didn't become a cat toy, given you a #keslerbomb photo as a desktop, you know to keep up with the trends.
I organize my photos in neat little folders, I even edit them! I've given you lots of lovely programs and made sure you weren't left on for days at a time. And when we bought you a brand new wireless printer, we thought you'd be appreciative that we no longer need one of your precious USB ports.
But this week you let me down. Big time.
It all happened so quickly.
The flashing folder with a giant question mark over a grey screen. Didn't seem promising. Even worst when you made that horrible gargling noise.
The news was bad. Real bad.
You had the equivalent to a brain aneurysm. Total hard drive meltdown.
I'll miss you little iMac. We had it good for awhile. Too bad you will soon be replaced with a shiny, new apple.
Forever yours,
By the way, I made peanut brittle. It's exactly like my mom used to make. It's made in the microwave. Think about it, you can have homemade candy in under an hour without using a candy thermometer or a stove. It's crunchy, salty, buttery all at once. It's like a going away party for my computer in my mouth.
By the way again, blog posts may be sporadic due to dead mac. I'm still baking away, so back log will be immense.
Microwave Peanut Brittle
[ from Epicurious ]
Original recipe called for unsalted peanuts, but I like the extra salty-sweetness that the salted peanuts provided. If you do end up using unsalted peanuts, just add in a pinch of salt when you stir in the baking soda. Also note all times are approximate as each microwave may be a different wattage and heat things at different times.
1 1/2 cups salted, unblanched peanuts
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
Liberally butter a baking sheet, set aside but keep close at hand.
In a large microwave safe bowl, combine peanuts, sugar and corn syrup. Microwave on high for about 6 minutes or until mixture is melted and bubbling vigorously. Remove bowl from microwave and stir in vanilla and butter.
Return to microwave and heat for another 3 minutes or until mixture has turned a light golden brown. Remove from microwave and quickly stir in baking soda, mixture will bubble up. Right away, pour mixture on to the prepared baking sheet and tap to spread as thinly as possible.
Let stand for about an hour or until comes to room temperature and is firm. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container for up to a month.

Sterols (Flora pro Active et al)
The following is from Dr. Briffa's latest posting:
'Some people at increased risk of CVD (cardiovascular disease) might avoid the need to use drugs to modify their cholesterol levels if they make sufficient changes to their diet. Plant sterols and stanols have been shown to reduce cholesterol levels, but it is not known whether the consumption of plant sterols as part of a low-fat diet will provide worthwhile additional benefit and whether they reduce CVD events.
There is a need for trials to test both efficacy and effectiveness of plant sterols and stanols in people who are at high risk of a first CVD event. These trials should test whether plant sterols or stanols change lipid profiles and reduce CVD events under best possible conditions. Randomised controlled trials are needed to test the effectiveness of advising people who are at high risk of experiencing a first CVD event to include food items containing plant sterols or stanols in a low-fat diet. The trial should last for at least 2 years and should consider appropriate outcomes.
People should not routinely be recommended to take plant sterols and stanols for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease'.
Read the above very carefully!
Now, the above might give succour to folk who espouse 'eat butter, it tastes great and rather than killing you is rather good for heart health' school of thinking. But the folk who think that man made 'heart healthy' fats churned in vast stainless steel, high pressure and chemically prodded God knows what is the way to go might question the source of the statement.
Well, it comes from The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence - most people will be aware of it's acronym NICE .
These are the people at the forefront of deciding the best outcomes from the best science with the public interest at the forefront.

After creating something of a fuss over Memorial Day weekend, moviegoers can finally get a look at a greenband trailer for David Fincher's "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" online. A redband version of the trailer appeared on the web over the holiday break, but had incredibly good sound and for some reason Sony Pictures did nothing in their power to take it down. Conspiracy? Underground marketing? Whether it was legal, illegal, official or unofficial, it created the buzz it was intended to do.
The greenband trailer not only features the same great music (we assume from the film's composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross), but intoxicating tagline "The Feel Bad Movie Of Christmas."
You can watch the preview embedded in this post.
"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" opens nationwide on Dec. 21.

Welcome to the Bay Pro Locksmith. There are many different types of locks that a locksmith has to specialize in. These include lock types like Schlage, kwikset, hager, maxtech, lsda, iseo, primus, multlock, and Medeco. These are lock types that a locksmith must spend a considerable amount of time learning, in order to work with them. Finding a locksmith that specializes in these many different types of locks can prove to be difficult. It's important that you find a locksmith that is familiar with all of these different types of locks though as this means you'll get professional, high quality service.
All of these different lock types have features about them that can be better or worse for security. For instance, some of these locks are pin tumbler locks, wafer tumbler locks, lever locks, disc tumbler locks, and more. Depending on what the lock type it is, the security features of the lock are going to be different. Some of them will be easier for a criminal to pick, other ones will be more secure. Typically, lever locks are going to have the most security features. These are the most popular types of locks in North America and other popular countries. They're generally built of very strong materials, they are often used as door locks. These are lock types that replaced the medieval locks that were common in the 19th century.
What is the difference between these different lock types in regards to security?
What are the more complex types of locks?
Some locks are going to be more complex than others. Locks that utilize lever locking systems are generally going to be the most complex. However, combination locks can be quite complex to use, because they require that you enter in a specific combination in order to unlock the device. Combination locks are common in high schools, and they're often used as locks for gym lockers. Wafer tumbler and pin tumbler locks are generally the simplest and most widespread type of lock in the world. These are locks that you have to open with a key, they're very easy to use.
How do locks differ depending on the manufacturer?
Locks are generally going to be similar from one another, as long as you get them from main brand manufacturers. The manufacturer ultimately has final say of how they're going to develop their product. Some locks will have specific features on them that may make them different from locks developed by other manufacturers.

I'm a mawrtyr, so naturally I don't have much money to spend on food but I do like to go out. I like chinese and indian, though I haven't been exposed to much else so I'm open to other types of food. I'd like something within 30 minutes. Also, I'm a veggie though I do make exceptions for crab cakes( I'm from Baltimore)
Also I'll be 21 in two weeks and the folks are coming to town, we liked a place called Rose Tree (or something resembling that) so I'm also looking for a similarly pricey place for the night that they will pay.
Thanks in advance

Cech backing Trap's army to become Euro dark horses
PETR CECH believes Ireland are Euro 2012 "dark horses" and reckons Giovanni Trapattoni's men can get out of their group of death this summer.
The Chelsea 'keeper last night trained with his Czech Republic team-mates at Lansdowne Road ahead of tonight's friendly and admitted the international window has come as a welcome break from his recent travails with Chelsea.
Giovanni Trapattoni's men face an uphill battle to qualify from Group C with Croatia, Italy and world champions Spain standing in their way. But the experienced stopper, who has faced Ireland three times previously in his career, believes the boys in green can do some damage to their more illustrious opponents in Poland.
"Because they went through a tough group and the play-offs, the team showed a good strength and they can really be a dark horse of their group if it goes well," he said.
"I know the players from the Premier League and I think it's a very good squad, playing good football, (they have) fast forwards with a good objective. They are dangerous from set-pieces as well and we have to be careful.
"For tomorrow's game the objective is for us to play well and get some confidence and hopefully we can go away with a good result. I played here twice and last time it was 1-1 in the qualification game, so it will be a tough test."
With so much turmoil going on at his club, Cech admitted that getting away from the constant speculation surrounding manager Andre Villas-Boas was welcome.
"If you have all the sort of problems in the club and the club is not doing well and you come to an atmosphere where everyone is relaxed because you have made our target by reaching the European Championships, then the atmosphere is different and you can enjoy it," he said.
"But you always separate the two teams because whatever problems you have with the national team or with the club, it doesn't really concern the team you're in.
"It's a different type of challenge. It will be a big challenge to turn things around."
But he still believes Chelsea can arrest their recent slide, saying: "I think we'll finish better than fourth."
Tonight's clash could see Cech reunited on the pitch with Stephen Hunt, with whom he collided in 2006, resulting in the goalkeeper leaving the field with a fractured skull and having to wear a head-guard on his return. But the Chelsea stopper bears no grudges.
"Well, we always have a little chat when we meet on the pitch," he said. "I don't travel to Birmingham to have dinner with him. I have no time for that! No, I'm joking. Anytime after the game when we meet each other, we have a little chat. At the last game of last season we swapped shirts as well."
Cech will captain his country tonight in the absence of Tomas Rosicky, who will be replaced in the side by 35-year-old Jiri Stajner. Former Liverpool striker Milan Baros -- now at Galatasary -- will lead the line.
The clash will be Robbie Keane's last game before his return to the US, but Cech reckons the Ireland skipper has proven his ability during his spell at Aston Villa.
"It still shows that he can score goals," he said. "It is clear that he still has the quality (to play) in England. Now he has decided to play in the US. It is his choice."

I give him about another week before mv bans his ass AGAIN.
Send me a pm when he's gone. I've stopped trying to read much of the Trump thread since he's taken it over. Nothing but drivel being posted for the most part now.
No because your shrinking from him is the victory he's looking for and just encourages him to keep going.
I see it a different way. I'm not wasting precious time dealing with that moron. I've got better things to do in life.
I guess Swishy wins Bellgab then.
I did listen to it, most of it is very good. But like all politicians (and yes CoS is a political position) there is some political BS to save his boss in there tooHim attacking the congresswoman about making it political when his boss was the first to make it political when he had to brag for himself and of course he can never do that without trying to tear others down and lying about what previous Presidents did. He was also critical of the congresswoman listening in, when it was the family who decided to use a speaker phone for all to listen. BTW how many of Trump babysitters at the WH was listening in also.Do I even have to get started with the whole "Women were sacred" as he's insulting the congresswoman and his boss has been quoted about grabbing Puss and bleeding from wherever.
Generally speaking, don't feed trolls. It's what they want
The guy basically tells you (and others like you) to your face You're being a douchebag. Please stop it. And your response is He's just saying that to protect Trump. Confirmation bias confirmed!
Dubya really shat on Donny John today. Best speech Dubya ever made.
Criticizing Trump makes a person a douchebag? Wow talk about being a sensitive loser.
Criticizing Trump makes a person a douchebag?...
Has he been accused of rape by anyone? Have any of them written a book about it or is there a suit pending? Who has he paid off? Tell us all about.
In this case, that Congresswoman is way out of line, so yes
Nothing she said was out of line at all. You're just a mentally challenged hopeless retard who believes that every Republican is good and every Democrat is bad. You have no capacity to say anything intelligent. Please do the world a favor and leave it.
It's a strategy that doesn't work. Worthy posters stop posting and then it's only trolls like faggotpants.
You are correct. The brilliant economists George Akerloff described this in his research on the 'used lemon' problem.
That Congresswoman has a terrible record when it comes to supporting the military, and supporting veterans. To the point of voting against burial coverage and death benefits for widows. Yet there she was in that car on the way to a service so she could preen in front of the cameras. She took what should have been a private moment, and decided to politicize it. The way the Democrats and the Left always try to politiicze everything. And not surprisingly, you think that is perfectly acceptable. Do you for even a moment believe she didn't decide to twist what was said so she could pile on Trump and elevate her own profile? Of course you do, because you have a mental deficiency that doesn't allow you to discern this type of information. That she made this about herself, and decided to intentionally trash Trump in the process - knowing the fake news media would support her without question - is beyond your ability to comprehend and process, as is most human interaction.
Yeah, I'm sure you're very familiar with "used lemons," faggot.
Nothing she said was out of line at all. You're just a mentally challenged hopeless retard who believes that every Republican is good and every Democrat is bad. You have no capacity to say anything intelligent. Please do the world a favor and leave it.
Its statements like this that lead people to believe that there are no democrats who are good people. My personal opinion is that there is a handful of decent democrats widely dispersed in the countrys interior. The rest are assholes.

Long journey is long journey. Boring, frustrating, tumultuous and soul searing at times. Once I pass the intimidating gate, I know, there is no stopping. Yet there are waiting periods and buffers.. even inside the cabin, when I know it is just about few more moments, captain announces delays in taking off...anxiety mounts...palpitations of new world surface all over me...
Bard was alone in the journey. Bard is alone in the wait, surrounded by people unconcerned.
Engine has started. There is some respite as the air-conditioner started as well. Anxiety of the journey is coming to an end. As restless souls get ready for cocooning, Bard is ready for the transforming leap into the new world.
Plane turns and crawls towards the runway. Weary eyes and tired souls are looking at the endless emptiness that is dazzling with the million lights along sides. A single machine with hundreds of living beings inside is standing in readiness to fly at this long empty stretch of road. There are no hassles of traffic and no guides anymore. Bard is shivering with the strange sensation of deja vu. O Lord, may be divinity is next!
As the engine picks up speed and the giant ostrich runs on the road alone, leaving all the guides of the ground gaping wide, Bard is holding the seat tight. "Am I flying or being flown?" The great question wanders his mind-space.

Jesus (/ˈdʒiːzəs/; Greek: Ἰησοῦς Iēsous; 7–2 BC to 30–36 AD), also referred to as Jesus of Nazareth, is the central figure of Christianity, whom the teachings of most Christian denominations hold to be the Son of God.[13] Christians believe Jesus to be the awaited Messiah of the Old Testament and refer to him as Jesus Christ or simply Christ,[14] a name that is also used by non-Christians.
Most Christians believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, performed miracles, founded the Church, died sacrificially by crucifixion to achieve atonement, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, from which he will return.[27] The majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, who is the Second Person of the Holy Trinity.[28] A few Christian groups reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural.[28][29]
In Islam, Jesus (commonly transliterated as Isa) is considered one of God's important prophets.[30] To Muslims, Jesus is a bringer of scripture (the Injil) and the child of a virgin birth, but neither divine nor the victim of crucifixion. Judaism rejects the belief that Jesus was the awaited Messiah, arguing that he did not fulfill the Messianic prophecies in the Tanakh.[31] Bahá'í scripture almost never refers to Jesus as the Messiah, but calls him a Manifestation of God.

Try putting deletes.sql in the mysql/bin directory (or) give the full path "c:\apache\mysql\data\dcmpare\deletes.sql".
ps: not sure about the double-quotes. Please check the manual.

Media is reporting that US aims to secure agreements with India to start pilot projects for joint production of drones, as well as equipment for transport planes in talks next week ahead of a visit by President Barack Obama.
After much Hype about possible deal on Global Hawk was denied by Us officials, New media report says that US will take joint project with India of local production of RQ-11 "Raven" Hand-held Mini-UAV built by AeroVironment Inc..
RQ-11 Raven is a small hand-launched remote-controlled unmanned aerial vehicle (or SUAV) developed for the U.S. military, which can provide day or the night aerial intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance. Raven is also used by the military forces of many other countries.
Interestingly India's National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL) has developed mini-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) " Slybird." and Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE) too has unveiled the hand-launched fixed-wing mini UAV Imperial Eagle.
Both Imperial Eagle and Slybird weigh about 2-2.5 kg with an endurance of 50 to 60 minutes. At about 20 knots cruise speed, they have a range of 10 km and can climb to a ceiling altitude of 300 metres. They carry gimbal-mounted daylight or infra-red camera. Both are similar to US RQ-11 Raven in performance and specification.
Both Imperial Eagle and Slybird were in the race to bag orders from Indian Army which had requirements for similar Portable handheld mini-UAV which can be deployed for tactical surveillance and ?over the hill? surveillance. It is still not clear if India has accepted US offer for Local production of RQ-11 "Raven" or its just another case of Indian Army again sidelining Local development over Imported systems.

The downturn in the economy has resulted in a decrease in the number of animals adopted from shelters. This is obviously bad for the animals, but in reality it shows that people are acting responsibly, because taking on an animal demands dedication, in terms of time, love, and finances. The animal deserves nothing less. If you can't promise you can financially provide for an animal, you shouldn't take one on.
On the other hand, the number of people abandoning their animals, either to shelters or just outright ditching them, has sharply increased, and people blame the economy. Now, I'm sure that anyone heartless enough to do that probably wouldn't bother reading my articles here, but if I'm preaching to the choir, then so be it...
The main issue about any pet you may have is family. As you can see over and over again in the posts I've made here, an animal thinks, feels, and loves just as much as you or me. To give an animal a home and then just run away from it is just as deeply traumatic for the animal as it would be for you if your parents had done it to you. And I don't care what you think your financial problems are, you took on the responsibility and you need to see it through.
In the local newspaper there was a story of a family that dumped their pets because the "man" of the house got laid off. The family made sure, though, that they still kept their cable TV. These heartless bastards should never have been allowed near an animal in the first place. If they merely wanted something disposable to ornament their life, they should have bought a Gucci somethingorother. At least they could ebay that when things didn't go according to their liking.
I realize that part of the problem is the horrible, will-not-die myth that animals are instinct-driven: "We can just abandon Snowball and she'll be OK because cats are natural-born hunters." ANY animal has to LEARN how to live in its environment. That's why I stress the concept of SOCIALIZATION--the process of learning what's necessary in the society you live in. A cat that was born and raised in a human household never learned the skills of hunting.
Your pet is dependent on you for his quality of life. Love, nurturing, food, and shelter. If you love your cable TV more than you love your pet, find a good home for him now, because you are not capable of providing what he needs.
Another aspect of the problem is the unthinking Easter (or other time) gift of a cute little animal--that is soon abandoned to "live in the wild"--as if there's any wild around. NY Times article at this link.
How can people continue to act as if animals are mere things? If you want to give a cute fluffy little thing for some holiday, Toys R Us has plenty of stuffed toys. A bunny is a thinking, feeling, loving being. They're a bit mysterious to me, which is why I would never take one on, but for the right person they make wonderful companions. They don't deserve to be shoved in a kid's face on Sunday and shoved out the door on Monday.
That NY Times story linked above mentions that Florida requires a $100 permit to own a python. That's probably a good thing. I don't believe in bans on any animal ownership, but $100 will probably weed out the unthinking people who want a pet to satisfy whatever whim just crossed their mind. $100 is probably a good level to get them to say, "I don't know about this..."
If you do love your pet, you can prepare for financial shocks in easy ways:
- Set aside a little money each payday, for veterinarian bills. Veterinary care is usually not very expensive, but when something major happens, it can be costly. Plan ahead.
- Preventive medicine helps. Keep their vaccines up to date.
- Look into pet health insurance. That's putting aside some money each payday into the insurance company's hands, but if you suddenly face a big bill, it could be useful.
- Spaying/neutering your pet will prevent the sudden arrival of a bunch more pets. It isn't really very expensive, either. check with your local humane society; there may be plans available to lower the cost even more.
- If you are ready to take on a new pet, adopt one from a shelter. It's really a shame our president didn't set a good example in this area. Thousands of abandoned animals are killed each year because there simply is no one to take care of them.

What went wrong with the latest Fantastic Four film? Miles Teller (Reed Richards) gives his thoughts…
Speaking on the happysadconfused podcast, Teller explained that the problem basically came down to a bad script. Teller's comments suggest he might not have been happy with the script when he signed on, but felt the opportunity and potential of the film was such that it was difficult to pass up. Constant changes to the script made things worse instead of better, resulting in the film that eventually hit the screen.
"I think it was Clooney who said you can make a bad movie out of a good script, you can't make a good movie out of a bad script, and that's very true. If they're telling you maybe your part's not as big and they say, 'Oh you're gonna be bigger in the sequel' or 'Oh we're gonna rewrite' and 'Yeah we're gonna take in all these notes,' if you're in a position where you can say hold off I'm not signing off on this dotted line until this script is exactly where you want it, then you're in a very fortunate position. Because I know actors that have been in literally Oscar-winning performances that told me that script was a struggle every day to get it to a place that [they] wanted it, and [they] were always fighting for the best version of it.
Teller was careful not to point fingers and single anyone out as being part of the problem, though. He explained that a lot of people worked hard on the film, and that he thought the crew usually worked harder on bad films trying to make things good than they do on movies where everything just clicks.
"People think that when you make something like a Fantastic Four that doesn't do well, people think 'Oh you phoned it in' and it couldn't be more untrue. You work harder on the bad films, or the films that turn out maybe not the way you intended, because something's not working. And I thought it was kind of unjustly critiqued that way; there are even bigger bombs if you're looking at how much money went into the production and what they reaped back. But I think it's unfortunate a movie like that becomes a scarlet letter on a resume when so many talented people worked really hard and maybe a handful of people took it in a negative direction. But so many people worked really hard on that that are so talented."
Personally as I first said in my Review of the Fantastic Four the film was not as horrible as critics have let on, it is not a particularly good film but at least unlike some other bad superhero movies (Catwoman, Steel, Wolverine Origins) it was just done all wrong and given the time and resources probably could have been an ok addition to the growing superhero film world.
And considering the Fantastic Four are like one of the greatest icons of the Marvel Universe, even dubbed as "Marvel's First Family" I can only assume sometime in the future, someone will make another attempt and hopefully will learn from all the previous history of mistakes. I mean hell they are planning another reboot of Nightmare on Elm Street… so why not?

2010 Nascar Schedule
November 14, 2010 by staff
2010 Nascar Schedule, With 2 races remaining in NASCAR Nationwide Series 2010 some teams and drivers were seeking a solution for 2011. Enter the Wypall 200 at Phoenix International Raceway and Brad Keselowski Penske / Discount Tire # 22 championship team already the driver is enclosed. The only other battle is between the top team # 22 and # 18 Joe Gibbs Racing teams in the league owners. Gibbs was in the lead entering the race.
In the fall of the green flag, and even before, it was obvious that Carl Edwards wanted this win bad. He struggled early in the race with Joey Logano, who led 23 laps early in the race. Up front, for the first 100 laps it was Edwards, Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Justin Allgaier and Logano.
With 50 laps remaining in the race struggling with the top 5 were Edwards, Bush, Harvick, Keselowski and Logano. With 30 laps to go, Bush was forced to pit for a tire change back off, no warning was released and he went down a lap to the leaders. Although he fought hard to regain ground and made its way to the first cart but no amount of delay, due diligence has not been forthcoming. Kyle has managed to cross the head to finish on the lead lap, but in 16th place, last car on the lead lap, the championship hopes of the owners for Joe Gibbs Racing is more than a memory.
In the closing laps before he was on Edwards with a commanding 4.5 second led over second place Kevin Harvick. Carl came home the winner once more, then on the line by Harvick, Logano, Keselowski and Sorenson in fifth. To complete the top 10 were Almirola, Stenhouse Jr., Allgaier, Braun, and Steven Wallace 10th.
Trevor Bayne, who had to qualify on speed in the RTS unsponsored # 17 cars started 9 and remained in the top 15 most of the day, His intention is to make turns it wishes to maintain his championship point's position after being released by Diamond-Waltrip Racing. Racing smart, no real battle views, Bayne No. 17 home in 14th place, giving Roush Fenway Racing five cars in the top 15 for the day.
The fight at the other end of the spectrum included a few teams with their eyes on the first 30 points of the position. This is the elusive number to get your car locked in the first five races of 2011. The teams in the battle 70 Number of ML Motorsports and driver Shelby Howard and Mark Green. Howard only works a schedule of 22 races, but a partnership agreement between ML Motorsports Jay Robinson Racing and the car provides 70 with more equipment and a second driver David Green. It's a strange situation since Howard replaced Green as the primary driver for ML after 4 races in 2009. The 70 from PIR 30 101 points ahead of Team 81. Mark Smith on 35 and 23 Robert Richardson was only 41 points ahead on 70.
The tension that coveted 30 spot heated laps 20 of race as Mark Green and the # 70 car headed for the garage with a "blown up" the transmission and engine. The people back at ML Motorsports obtained a sigh of relief when the car # 81 finished 26th in the # 70 keeping locked in entering the final race at Homestead.
For stars Indycar, Danica Patrick was another day that more media coverage exaggerated a little about racing, just beat and beat, and of course the obligatory moans. The final result for Danica is in line with his previous 10 races, finishing seven laps to 32nd place.

Excellent Advice - Service really paid off
We searched the internet for Mortgage Brokers and found Centum Mavin Lending. We had heard good things about Centum before. Working with Leslie Fallaise was perfect for us. She explained our options, discussed our credit scores in relation to our mortgage application and really took the time to answer all of our questions. In our case, she charged us a broker fee which we did not mind paying. She keeps in touch with us and now we are ready to be approved by our bank, Leslie is still working on this for us and this time there is no fee. If we keep practicing what we've been shown, we'll have our mortgage paid off sooner than we ever thought PLUS we now know how to keep and excellent credit report. We have relied on her and she really has come through. We highly recommend Leslie Fallaise. M.L.

"Blood test - quick and painless!"
About: Orpington Hospital Orpington Hospital BR6 9JU
Posted via NHS Choices
Anything else?
After reading the dreadful review of Orpington Hospital's bood test department (13th September) I was really apprehensive about having to go for a blood test - nervous for the first time ever about such a simple procedure, and dubious about my first visit to Orpington Hospital. BUT having been there today I have to say the nurses in the blood test department were professional, friendly and efficient, and my blood test didn't hurt a bit - less than a pinprick - and not the faintest bruise to be seen. A friend who was there too had exactly the same experience. It was as pleasant and painless as such a trip can be! Also, to lay to rest another worry, all the sections I saw in the hospital were clean. Also the receptionist at the main desk seemed to be being helpful with the patients she was dealing with.

This is a small post for those who's primary IDE is Eclipse for developing Grails 3 apps or plugins — and are still wondering how to debug their application.
First of all, to clarify: there's no "Grails" debugging, it's just Spring Boot and Gradle these days, with Grails 3. Any way to debug these kind of applications allows you to debug a Grails 3 application.
There's lots of SO posts and Google hits about this subject, so I'm creating this post also as a short "simplest solution" summary for myself and for others.

Following House passage of the National Defense Authorization Act, Rep. Rich Nugent (FL-11) issued the following statement:
"As a new member of the House Armed Services Committee, this was my first opportunity to see the Defense Authorization all the way through the process. It's an enormous bill and covers each and every program within the Department of Defense. I am very proud to say that the committee worked extremely hard to make good use of every remaining dollar following two successive rounds of very deep cuts to our military. And despite the overall tone of partisanship in Washington these days, the committee worked in a strong bipartisan way to get this bill done. It passed out of committee 59 to 2. "I am also proud to say that amendments I put forward including the Combat Action Badge, as well as directed energy programs, and a new submersible for the SEAL teams were all accepted as part of the base bill. On the whole, I think it's a testament to what can be accomplished when people put politics aside and work toward a common goal -- in this case, maintaining our military capabilities and making sure that our troops have the resources they need to carry out their mission safely and successfully."

NOTE: Figures for both Sudan and South Sudan do not take into account the number of people affected by internal displacement in Abyei Area where at least 56,000 people are thought to remain displaced following violence in May 2011. Some 14,000 are thought to have returned to their places of origin since early 2012, and thousands more continue to commute regularly between places of origin and places of displacement. Displacement dynamics within the area are complex and include displacement, return and nomadic migration. While relatively stable, gaps in governance, infrastructure, housing, basic services and livelihood opportunities continue to hinder recovery and there remains a risk of inter-communal violence linked to seasonal migration and competition for resources. Without a political agreement on the status of Abyei the affected populations are unlikely to find durable solutions, even in return.
South Sudan's hopes for peace following its declaration of independence in July 2011 are slowly giving way to violence and displacement. This is associated with continued border disputes with Sudan and armed conflict and inter-communal fighting within the country. Institutional obstacles to data collection and severely restricted access to large parts of the country mean accurate data on displacement flows remains a key challenge. Since independence, any tracking has focused primarily on new displacements, and there is little information on IDP returns within South Sudan. Those figures that do exist point to new displacements in some areas and significant obstacles to return and reintegration processes.
As of December 2012, at least 240,000 people were thought to be living in displacement in South Sudan, of whom at least 190,000 were newly displaced over the course of the year. As many as 155,000 people of South Sudanese origins who were displaced prior to independence returned from Sudan, and another 40,000, currently living in precarious conditions in Khartoum, are expected to return. The country has also experienced large influxes of refugees from increasing violence in the Sudanese states of South Kordofan and Blue Nile.
Over 20,000 returnees are thought to remain in transit sites on the border, and many of those who have returned to the country, often to sites close to contested border areas, are faced with little or no access to basic services and few employment opportunities. Some returnees lack the documents needed to claim citizenship, which is a prerequisite to accessing land and basic services such as health and education. The extent to which returnees have been able to choose their destination remains unclear.
The majority of new displacements in South Sudan have taken place in Jonglei state, where inter-communal tensions, competition over resources and an ongoing armed uprising led by the David Yau Yau militia displaced more than 123,000 people during 2012. Civilians bear the brunt of attacks, with incidents of extreme violence reported including the killing of infants and children and indications of a rapidly growing trend of sexual and gender-based violence. The recruitment of children into armed groups is also a major concern.
In Northern Bahr el-Ghazal and Unity states, more than 50,000 people fled their homes during 2012, as a result of border tensions with Sudan and also to escape inter-communal violence. Another 10,000 are thought to be displaced in Upper Nile.
No Lords Resistance Army (LRA) attacks were reported in 2012 and around 21,000 people previously displaced by LRA in Western Equatoria state returned to their homes. Around 50,000 people remain displaced.
Floods displaced as many as 340,000 people across the whole country, particularly in Jonglei.
High levels of food insecurity, weak state governance and limited public services and transport infrastructure add to the vulnerability of the displaced population. This is compounded by an economic crisis that saw 75 per cent inflation and a 40 per cent depreciation of the South Sudanese pound in 2012. More than half of South Sudan's population lives below the poverty line.
Humanitarian funding stood at more than $794 million, 67.4 per cent of the $1.1 billion requested in the 2012 CAP humanitarian appeal. The protection cluster was the least funded at just 32 per cent. South Sudan's decision to halt oil production in January caused a drop of up to 98 per cent in national revenues, and led international aid organisations to focus on responding to humanitarian needs over longer-term development initiatives. Sustained suppor t by the international community for the return and reintegration process of those returning from Sudan is therefore limited.
This reflects a broader gap in support for durable solutions in South Sudan as humanitarian interventions are prioritised. South Sudan is still to sign the Kampala Convention, but it acceded to the Great Lakes Pact in October 2012. As it is signatory to a clear normative framework for dealing with all stages of displacement, this represents an opportunity to develop a national policy in support of durable solutions that can be integrated into a broader national development strategy.

Everything I've seen so far requires a root. If I have to root it, is the process pretty safe? This is my first GOOD phone, I have had a pathetic Nokia 6555 for 3 years, but the 6555 can tether at least. Speed is horrible, but it somewhat works. I just want to make sure I can do this with my new N1.

AC Schnitzer has always been known for really bringing up the appearance of a car to catch everyone's attention. Its latest creation is no exception.
Designed for some of the BMW models, the Forged Racing Wheel Type VIII is based on Type VI wheel. Forming the new rim are a classic 5 double-spoke design, forged and machined inner star and a spoke frame held in anthracite.
The forged racing wheel Type VIII come in size 22-inch for the BMW 7-series (F01/F02), BMW X5 / X6 and also in sizes 11.0J x 23-inch and 12.0J x 23-inch to suit, again, the BMW X5 / X6.
The Type VIII wheel sets new technological and aesthetic standards as the latest interpretation of the five spoke design. Available in 18, 19" and 20". Black with diamond-cut rim and spoke faces.
AC Schnitzer wheel styles are numbered in roman numerals, with multi-piece "split rim" styles having the added designation Racing. Some styles are available only in classic silver, while others are also available in black with diamond-cut faces to the spokes and rims - these are denoted as BiColour wheels.
For the enthusiast seeking the ultimate in lightweight wheels Forged options are also available in some designs and sizes. The forging process adds strength to the alloy with the benefit that it can be made lighter while retaining its strength.
