Keep checking your information
Fifteen years ago I started family history and in the last five years so much information has become available, it is worthwhile rereading and rechecking your information. the subject of women not being named on historical file is a big bone of contention, even modern historians forget to give their female relatives their maiden names using only their married names and yet it is one of the most helpful ways of knowing you are following the correct line, it really becomes easier when the female maiden name is introduced to the childrens line.
I have been researching McKittrick, McKitterick family and I have come to a brick wall with William McKittrick, I cannot find his birth, or marriage, he died in 1870 aged 64 making his birth approx 1806. He probably was born in Ireland in Co Down, he died in Dundonald, Co. Down, his father was probably John McKittrick but I have no evidence to support this, if any one is researching McKittrick in Down I would be pleased to hear from them.
I can offer extensive research material of McKittricks in Tyrone, Armagh, Antrim, Belfast area,also England happy to pass information that can help.

What's in a paint colour?
Burgh House is a Grade I-listed Queen Anne mansion that once stood proud and aloof on Hampstead Hill. Much of the building's grandest features, including the barley-twist staircase, panelled interior, mantelpieces and imposing wrought iron gates, were added in 1720 by Dr Gibbons, the creator of Hampstead as a spa village.
Nowadays the house has been absorbed into London's Zone 2 and has seen many varied owners and uses, passing into public use after the Second World War.
Currently the building is managed by an independent, self-funding charity and serves many purposes, ranging from a local history museum, art gallery, concert venue, and free community and education space, while also functioning as northwest London's busiest wedding venue.
We have been gradually refurbishing the house (a never-ending job, it seems!), but first had to come up with an answer to a big question: how do you decorate a building like this?
Should one be true to the age of the building? In our case, this would mean approaching the decoration in an early Georgian style. Contrary to most of our ideas of Georgian tastes, the interior decoration of the early period was quite plain, with almost dour tones. Panelling like ours was, unless of the finest exotic hard woods, meant to be painted or grained to look like wood. Skirting, walls, cornices, window frames, shutters, walls and doors would often be painted in the same colour, with this colour used throughout the rest of the building, too. Typical paint colours of the period included off-whites, greys, stone and muted greens: these were affordable and purchased as pigments that were mixed with water when ready to be used. Richer colours made from pricier pigments such as golds, dark pinks and pastel blues may have been used by wealthier households in one or more of their grander rooms. The very wealthy may have painted a room in one of the most expensive colours, a dark olive green, as chosen by us for the recent refurbishment of the Burgh House Library, which was said to show off paintings at their best. Incidentally, one of the most interesting facts I gleaned from my research was that the painting of rooms was nearly almost undertaken by the family and servants themselves and not by paid workers, as painting was not considered to be a skilled job. It seems DIY is not such a modern phenomenon after all!
Over the course of the Georgian dynasty, the typical colour palette became brighter, lighter, bolder and more daring. By the end of the Georgian period, paint and paper were cheaper and much more readily available, with rooms delicately themed and furnished. The establishment of the printed press, the first 'mass media', meant that fashions changed as quickly as people could redecorate – even if they couldn't afford it. A home like Burgh House would have been finely decorated and elegantly furnished.
Burgh House, however, has served a variety of purposes since the Georgian era, including being used as a military regimental headquarters before returning to domestic use; the last residents, Rudyard Kipling's daughter Elsie and her husband Captain Bambridge, left in the 1930s.
Many of the interior features of the house, including our beautiful music room, are the product of the 1920s. Should we therefore decorate the house in the style of this era? We have photographs of the interiors during this period, showing a lighter colour scheme, chintz patterns, stripped wood panelling and piles of oriental carpets. The rooms were busy and eclectic; cosy and homely. We can tell from chips of paint that pea greens, ochre yellow, browns and beiges were used, with woodwork and related features highlighted for the first time in lighter colours
Today Burgh House takes a regular pounding from all its different uses and many visitors, and any decorative scheme we chose needed to be hardwearing. The solution came in the form of a photograph of the dining room at Burgh House from the 1920s. The picture shows warm-coloured, painted panelling with lighter woodwork and Queen Anne-style furniture. In this we found our happy medium and, with the support of Farrow and Ball, have been gradually mixing Queen Anne/early-Georgian paint colours on the panelling chosen to match samples of paint found around the house. These feature a beautiful mix of greys, stones, golds, olives and sages, which we have combined with the modern 20th-century practicality of off-white eggshell painted woodwork.
We are delighted with the result – Queen Anne reproduction meets genuine Queen Anne; bold but fresh rooms, durable and practical, retaining all the warmth of the home Burgh House was in the 1920s, while being true to the period of the building and its original listed features, and done in a way that will preserve the house and its interior to be enjoyed by generations to come.

"I'm looking forward to linking up with Martin Rennie again and be a part of something special in Vancouver," said Rusin. "I have had the opportunity to visit Vancouver when I was a member of the RailHawks and always enjoyed the atmosphere and passionate fans during those matches."

In 2008, his senior year, he was named co-captain, Defensive MVP, and first-team All-Pac-10. In between his time with the Bruins, Rusin played in the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League for San Fernando Valley Quakes (2008), Ventura County Fusion (2007) and Bradenton Academics (2005).

A thread to share your thoughts on the athletes that have impressed you as the games have gone on.
For me Missy Franklin has been the one so far. It was watching her qualify for a final then win a gold quarter of an hour later that really stood out. Incredible stuff.
I never watch swimming outside of the games, which is a shame as every four years I sit here thinking 'I'm gonna watch this more often' and then don't bother. Some of the best stories come from the pool, probably because there are so many swimmers who do multiple events and you can't help but be impressed by their endurance.
Hopefully a few Brits will appear in this thread as we go on but for me, Missy Franklin is what I'll remember most about these first few days.

VIDEO: Evan Wolfson talks 50th anniversary of Civil Rights Act on Face the Nation
April 14, 2014
This Sunday, April 13, Freedom to Marry founder and president Evan Wolfson joined a panel of national leaders on CBS' Face the Nation to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act and to look ahead at what's next for the decades-long struggle for equality for all Americans.
The segment took a look at where we are in the United States 50 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson. This week in Austin, advocates held a Civil Rights summit at the LBJ Library, and yesterday, Face the Nation hosted their own summit, featuring Evan, Tavis Smiley from PBS, Nikole Hannah-Jones of ProPublica and The Atlantic, and Michael Eric Dyson of Georgetown University.
When host Bob Schieffer asked Evan if the gay rights movement is the "next chapter" for the civil rights struggle, Evan reflected on how far we've come in the fight for the freedom to marry, contextualizing it within other civil rights movements. He said:
I wouldn't call it the next chapter. I think it's part of the same struggle. I think what the struggle, as President Obama said, that the Civil Rights movement did so much to lay the foundation for and President Johnson's work and Dr. King's work and all the millions of unsung heroes was to create an America that's a more perfect union for everybody. And gay people are part of that everybody. But as we've just all heard and said, we're not done with any of these fights on any of these fronts that overlap anyway. So it's not a matter of this or that or that. Civil rights is about the America we want for everybody, where everybody can participate and contribute.
Later, Evan added:
I would just say part of the reason we've seen this shift on gay people and support for the freedom to marry is because gay people have been able to come out of the closet. Non-gay people who support gay people who are part of a family with gay people have spoken up and told their stories. And it's bridging those gaps, showing the common connection that has enabled America to now come to majority support for the freedom to marry in a relatively short period of time, because that conversation and that reducing the separation and isolation has had that effect. One of the real inspirations for me out of this summit was in addition to the challenge to keep going was that people can do it. It's easy to get very despondent and frustrated and fearful for the future of the country. And yet, we also have these examples from our history that we can come together and we can do better.

(THE GUARDIAN) — Nigella Lawson attacked the "ridiculous sideshow" of allegations about drug use levelled against her during the trial of her former personal assistants, after they were found not guilty of a £685,000 fraud on the accounts of her and her former husband.
Her statement was a bitter conclusion to a three-week court case in which the self-styled "domestic goddess" chose to admit taking cocaine on seven occasions as she gave evidence against Elisabetta and Francesca Grillo, who had been accused of spending lavishly on family credit cards without the permission of her or her husband of 10 years Charles Saatchi.
Lawson, 53, who is due to return to British TV screens in a Channel 4 food talent show on 7 January and now faces a reputation rebuilding exercise, complained in a statement after the verdict of being "maliciously vilified" and of a "sustained background campaign deliberately designed to destroy my reputation".

May/June 2011
The effects of omeprazole (20 mg once daily) or famotidine (40 mg once daily) on the pharmacokinetics of EVG and cobicistat were studied in HIV-negative subjects (n=11 per group).
When omeprazole was administered 2 hours prior to elvitegravir and cobicistat the AUC and Cmax of elvitegravir increased by 10% and 16%, but those of cobicistat decreased by 8% and 10%. Separating omeprazole and EVG and cobicistat by 12 h had no effect (<10% change) on the AUC or Cmax of elvitegravir or cobicistat. Administration of famotidine 12 h apart from elvitegravir and cobicistat had no effect (<10% change) on the AUC or Cmax of elvitegravir or cobicistat.
Similar results were observed in a separate study (n=16) of the simultaneous coadministration of famotidine with elvitegravir and cobicistat. No dosing restrictions are necessary on the administration of EVG and cobicistat with proton pump inhibitors.
Based on the available data, elvitegravir and cobicistat should be administered simultaneously with, and/or 12 hours after, dosing of H2 receptor antagonists.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe on Tuesday vetoed a ban on most abortions in Arkansas at 20 weeks into a pregnancy, setting up an override fight with a Republican-controlled Legislature that has been pushing for more restrictions on the procedure.
Beebe said he vetoed the ban, which is based on the disputed belief that a fetus can feel pain at 20 weeks, because it runs afoul of the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion until the point where fetuses can survive outside the womb, usually at 22 to 24 weeks. The Republican sponsor of the measure said he'll seek to override Beebe's veto.
"Because it would impose a ban on a woman's right to choose an elective, nontherapeutic abortion before viability, House Bill 1037, if it became law, would squarely contradict Supreme Court precedent," Beebe said in his veto letter. "When I was sworn in as governor I took an oath to preserve, protect and defend both the Arkansas Constitution and the Constitution of the United States. I take that oath seriously."
Beebe also cited the cost of a potential lawsuit if the state enacted the ban. The American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas has said it would likely sue if it went into effect.
Beebe's veto comes as Arkansas lawmakers are weighing stricter legislation that would prohibit abortions at 12 weeks into a pregnancy. Beebe has said he has concerns about that legislation's constitutionality as well. That measure is expected to go before a Senate panel Wednesday.
Rep. Andy Mayberry, who sponsored the 20-week ban, said he was disappointed with Beebe's decision and would ask the House and Senate to override the governor's veto. It takes a simple majority in both chambers to override a governor's veto. Republicans hold 51 of the 100 House seats and 21 of the 35 Senate seats.
Beebe announced the decision shortly after Mayberry, R-Hensley, met with the governor and tried to alleviate his concerns about the bill.
"Apparently he and I have differing opinions on that bill," Mayberry said. "We'll enter into the next phase of the legislative process."
Seven states have enacted similar 20-week restrictions, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which tracks laws affecting women's health. A similar law in Arizona has been blocked while a federal appeals court reviews a lawsuit challenging it.
In his letter, Beebe cited concerns about the cost of a similar challenge. He wrote that Arkansas had to pay nearly $148,000 in attorneys' fees to the plaintiffs in a lawsuit challenging a 1997 late-term abortion ban that a federal appeals court overturned.
"Litigation fees and costs have increased extensively since then," Beebe wrote. "The taxpayers' exposure, should HB1037 become law, will be significantly greater."
Mayberry's bill included exemptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. Opponents have criticized it for not including exemptions for fatal fetal conditions.
Mayberry said he was confident he would have the votes to override Beebe's veto. House Speaker Davy Carter and Senate President Michael Lamoureux, both Republicans, said they hadn't polled members but also believed there would likely be enough support for an override.
The House approved Mayberry's bill on an 80-10 vote last week. It had been previously approved by the Senate on a 25-7 vote.
Abortion rights advocates who had gathered at the Capitol cheered when Beebe's decision was announced.
"I am very grateful that the governor understood that it's not reasonable for the government to interfere with these very private and complex medical decisions that a woman needs to make with her doctor and with her faith and with her family," said Jill June, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. "The decision to end a pregnancy is one of the most complicated decisions a woman will make in her life."
The bill marks the 11th time Beebe has vetoed legislation since taking office in 2007.
Beebe, who is serving his second term, has backed some abortion restrictions, including a bill signed earlier this month that bans insurers participating in the exchange created under the federal health care law from covering most abortions. Two years ago, he signed into law a proposal placing new regulations on the clinics that offer the abortion pill and in 2009 he signed legislation that mirrors a federal law banning late-term abortions.
Beebe wouldn't say whether the decision means he'd veto the 12-week ban pending before lawmakers.
"I'm pretty sure I know what I'm going to do on a bill that's even more problematic than the one I already vetoed, but I won't tell you officially until that time," Beebe said.

Ryan Coogler '07 (Business Administration)
Award-winning filmmaker learned cinematic basics at Sac State
2016 Update: This Sac State graduate, Ryan Coogler '07 (Business Administration), continues making a mark in the entertainment world. Creed, Coogler's critically acclaimed chapter in the Rocky franchise brought in $29 million on its opening weekend and nearly $171 million worldwide even before its DVD release. Coogler's direction also garnered raves for stars Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone, who received an Academy Awards nomination. Next up, Coogler takes the helm of Black Panther, the latest incarnation in the widely popular Marvel franchise.
Ryan Coogler's 112 career receptions as a Sacramento State wide receiver rank fourth in Hornet football history. His 1,213 receiving yards put him in the school's all-time top 20. And he's a three-time winner of the Big Sky Conference all-academic award. Now there's talk that his next trophy could be an Oscar.
The young filmmaker came "home" to Sacramento State on July 23 for a fast-paced round of media interviews – "Good Day Sacramento," Capital Public Radio's "Insight," News10, KCRA 3, Fox 40, the Sacramento Observer, Sacramento News & Review – and a special screening of Fruitvale Station, the award-winning film he wrote and directed. The screening took place at Century Stadium 14, where Coogler watched a lot of movies during his three years at Sac State.
Also on July 23, Coogler sat for an interview and a photo session that will become a part of the University's "Made at Sac State" campaign celebrating successful Sacramento State graduates.
Fruitvale Station, Coogler's film about an unarmed African American man killed at an Oakland BART station by a transit policeman on New Year's Day 2009, has become a cinematic force of nature. It won the Grand Jury and Audience awards at the Sundance Film Festival and captured the Prize of the Future at the Cannes Film Festival.
Reviewers have consistently raved about its raw power and perceptive insights. The Wall Street Journal's Joe Morgenstern called it "a directorial debut of limitless promise; as a first feature it's almost miraculous." Audience word of mouth has also increased Oscar buzz about the movie.
During his visit to Sacramento State, Coogler spent some time in the Broad Fieldhouse, which opened in 2008, the year after he graduated with a degree in Business. It's just by chance that Coogler is one of the Hornet football players depicted in a supersize photograph papering one wall of the Broad.
The guy known as "Coog" was greeted by members of the Athletics staff, and some former football teammates and old friends showed up to say hello. Among those who dropped by was his college roommate Angelo Muhammad, whom he cast in Locks, a short film he made as a student at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts.
"I told him it was just a matter of time," Muhammad said. "He always had a creative mind."
At one point, Coogler walked outside the Broad and onto the familiar turf of Hornet Stadium to watch a new generation of players throwing a ball around. Years after making his last touchdown run as a Hornet, the game of football now informs his filmmaking.
"Whenever you direct something, I learned this from football: If you get talented players, a lot of the work is done for you. If you cast the right actors, if you find talented actors who are great people to begin with, all that work is done for you," Coogler said in a post-screening interview with his mentor Dr. Roberto Pomo, professor of Theatre and coordinator of Sacramento State's Film Studies Program.
And when it came to blocking out the chaotic scene in which 22-year-old Oscar Grant is shot on a BART station platform, Coogler said he "kind of approached it with a football mindset."
Coogler's cinematic instincts were nurtured at Sac State before he studied film at USC as a graduate student. "He was part of our pilot film studies program," Pomo says. "He took all our courses and excelled as a writer/director." The two conferred on several occasions while Coogler was honing his craft at USC.
During the post-screening interview, Coogler spoke about his vivid recounting of Oscar Grant's last day. He told of filming at the grocery store where Grant worked, at San Quentin Prison where he did time and at the hospital where he died. "The 20-day shooting schedule compelled us to work 12-hour days," Coogler said. He saturated the soundtrack with sounds of Grant's environment, including the hum of fluorescent lights in a grocery store for a scene where Grant confronts the manager.
Coogler's humane commitment suffuses the 83-minute Fruitvale Station because he knows it could have been him shot to death that fateful New Year's Day. Oscar's "friends looked just like my friends," he said, noting that he has periodically been stopped by police. Shooting that station scene and making this film "was the hardest thing I've done in my life," he said. "We said a prayer and had several moments of silence before getting it right."
Coogler's brother Keenan has a role in Fruitvale Station as one of Grant's friends. (His other brother, Noah, is finishing up a degree in Sociology at Sacramento State.)
Pomo praised Coogler for coaxing a great performance from the actress who played Grant's daughter. Coogler credited the little girl's talent and recalled, in turn, his childhood relationship with his father.
The editing process prompted Coogler and two associates to get very little sleep during the several weeks it took to get the final cut. But he's grateful to the cast and crew for bringing this story to the screen.
He's also grateful for his Sac State experience. "I liked playing football and learned how to make films under Professors Pomo and (Steve) Buss," he said. "They were instrumental in my getting into graduate school." He recalled running to Pomo's home after football practice for guidance on a story that he was submitting with his application to USC. At the screening, Coogler asked the audience to recognize Pomo and Buss, who was sitting in the theater.
"Dr. Pomo taught me how to watch film," Coogler said. "In class, we saw 'Zoot Suit' and 'Birth of a Nation.' I brought my football teammates, and they started taking the classes. Steve Buss seemed to know everything about making a film. He had gone to USC as a grad student. He said that I should apply, that it was difficult to get in. They put me on the path and gave me the tools to be successful. Business (his major) was helpful; they do call it the 'film business.' "
What does the future hold for this modest 27-year-old who is awash in potential projects since he's become one of Hollywood's most promising filmmakers? His guiding principle remains "not to think about making a sale but making a film that's true to your goal and has the impact on the audience you desire," Coogler says. "All the other stuff will take care of itself."

Autopsy: QB died from pneumonia, had brain disease
Aug. 08, 2013
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A former college football star who disappeared in the Michigan wilderness during a fishing trip died of pneumonia caused by inhaling his vomit, after he became disoriented possibly because of a painkiller combined with having a degenerative brain disease, according to a report released Thursday.
The updated autopsy said 30-year-old Cullen Finnerty's anxiety and paranoia in the woods the night of May 26 may have been exacerbated by an elevated level of oxycodone along with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the brain disease that has been found in a number of ex-football players.
Finnerty's brain was studied at Boston University, which cautioned that it was highly unlikely the disease — which was moderate — alone led to his death.
"CTE possibly affected his judgment, insight and behavior, but there are other factors, including the use of medications prescribed by his doctor, that most likely contributed to the circumstances surrounding his death," the school's Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy said in a statement. "Unfortunately because of the complexity of his medications and medical status, it is impossible to determine the specific combination of factors that led to his tragic death."
What killed the record-setting Grand Valley State signal-caller, one of the winningest quarterbacks in college football history, has been a mystery for 2 ½ months.
An initial autopsy determined he had a "slightly enlarged heart and slightly cloudy lungs" but no trauma to the body. The final report from a local medical examiner includes toxicology results and the determination that he had CTE.
"The only people that will know will be Cullen and God," his father, Tim Finnerty, told The Associated Press on Thursday. "Who knows? There are all these theories."
He said his son also was taking a thyroid medicine at the time of his death, and the devastated family — he left behind a wife and two children — wonders if high doses could have caused him to become violently sick and confused.
During a family trip to a Lake County cottage about 65 miles north of Grand Rapids in western Michigan, Cullen Finnerty, his brother-in-law Matt Brinks and father-in-law Dan Brinks went fishing the night of May 26. The Brinks dropped off Finnerty around 8:30 p.m. and watched as he boarded a small personal inflatable pontoon boat and floated down stream.
The plan was to pick up Finnerty in about 30 minutes, but as it turned out, it was the last time they would see him alive. His body was found May 28 within a mile of where he had disappeared.
In two brief phone conversations with family members, Finnerty sounded disoriented, complained of being tailed and said he was taking off his clothes.
Finnerty's wife told investigators he had a past addiction to painkillers but had not taken any drugs since spending time in a rehabilitation center more than a year earlier. Jennifer Finnerty said it was not the first time he had a "paranoid" episode.
Instead of driving home from Detroit a year-and-a-half earlier, he took off for Grand Rapids due to fears the FBI would follow him, she said. She said her husband remained in a state of panic for four to five days.
In the autopsy report, Kent County Chief Medical Examiner Stephen Cohle said Finnerty likely became incapacitated and inhaled his vomit. Though relatives reported that Finnerty had a number of alcoholic drinks the day he died, Cohle said his blood-alcohol level was "negligible" and did not contribute to his incapacitation.
The report said it was likely Finnerty had anxiety, disorientation and paranoia from being alone in the woods while waiting for his in-laws to pick him up. Cohle said the painkiller was prescribed to Finnerty for back injuries likely sustained during his football career.
Boston University's center for study of the disease reported in December that 34 former pro football players and nine who played only college football suffered from CTE.
The NFL faces lawsuits by thousands of former players who say the league withheld information on the harmful effects of concussions. The NCAA also is being sued over its handling of head injuries.
Finnerty led Grand Valley, a Division II school, to more than 50 victories and three national titles, the last in 2006. He briefly was a member of the Baltimore Ravens and later the Denver Broncos but never took a snap in a regular season game.
"You couldn't stop that kid from playing football," said Scott Boyd, a family friend who was on the search party that found the body. He said Finnerty played to his fullest "and probably took some hits he shouldn't have."
Finnerty's father, who coached football for 35 years, said it is important to keep researching CTE and possible links to injuries not only in football, hockey, soccer and other sports. But he said life lessons and benefits of playing football are "substantial" and praised Grand Valley's response to the tragedy.
Boyd said a perfect storm of factors seemingly conspired against Finnerty, who he described as a "clean-living kid" and devout Catholic. The Brighton native lived in Howell and sold medical devices for a living.
"He was always upbeat and positive and smiling and had a warm handshake and hug for you," Boyd said.
Associated Press writer David Goodman in Detroit contributed to this report.

Things On Wheels is an accessible, pure arcade title placing players at the helm of radio-controlled ("RC") cars as they race through a gigantic Florida Art Deco house filled with "tracks" comprised of everyday household items – and more. Developed by experienced Xbox Live Arcade alumni Load Inc., ToW promises to deliver plenty of RC racing fun when released in summer 2008. ToW has also been confirmed for release on PCs.
Races in ToW take place on nonlinear tracks that go from room to room in an expansive house. Normal, everyday objects become obstacles and hazards for player's miniature vehicles to race through. Any challenge could have a player picking up speed in the straightaway of the foyer, dodging the searing coils of the electric stove, catching some air to clear a stack of magazines in the way, and thousands of other possibilities.
Things on Wheels is all about what you choose to remotely drive. Each muscle car provides the muscle class with a nice variety between speed, power, and handling. However, these cars generally have low handling so you might need some practice before you can master sharp turns. Buster is a well rounded vehicle. It's moderately fast and very powerful, and features the best handling of its class. But like all muscle cars, it will take practice to steer sharp turns.
Pablo (Muscle Car): Pablo is the fastest car in its class, as well as the worst handling vehicle in the game. Fortunately, it's high speed and power help balance out this car's stats to make it appealing to a sports car fanatic.
Raptor (Muscle Car): Raptor has a blend of high speed, moderate power and low handling that allows it to handle turns more efficiently than many other cars in the game.
Achievements :
- ToW Go: Finish any race, any place, any rule. Yep, pretty much a given achievement! (5)
- ToW Champ: You must win the last race of the Citrus Cup (15).
- ToW Day: Read the last page of the blog (10).
- ToW Tunes: Run into the jukebox to turn it on in 'Get first or die trying' (15).
- Mad Crash: Find the Mad Tracks car in 'World of Wheels' and ram it (15).
- ToW fall: Race 'Shake your body', drive in the bidet and finish the race (15).
- ToW Hero: Race 'Wheel master' (3 laps) and win against 5 hard AI 4 times consecutively. Race rule! (20)
- ToW Star: Beat 58 seconds on one single lap of 'Gran ToWrismo'. Solo race rules! (40)
- ToW off: Rank in the top 10 of any 'against the clock' leaderboard (20)
- ToW Gether: Play a co-op race with a human player online or split screen (10).
- ToW Less: Win race 'RosWheel' without picking up any bonus (20).
- ToW for life: Complete 50 races lifetime (15).
It's entirely possible that a championship could be won by taking the right path around a set of table legs, or cruelly lost by failing to avoid the searing heat of an electric heater. With huge scope for a variety of wildly entertaining courses, developers Load Inc. are promising to infuse Things On Wheels with as much radio-controlled racing mayhem as possible.
Developed by experienced Xbox LIVE Arcade alumni Load Inc., Things On Wheels promises to deliver plenty of radio-controlled racing fun when released in late 2008.

Activision's "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2" released Tueday for the top home consoles and the PC. A version of it has also been released for Sony's Playstation Vita but, as popular as "Call of Duty" is, it is unlikely to save the handheld console. The writing is already on the wall. Last month, I went to IndieCade here in Los Angeles to see what was new and fresh in gaming and while there were some really cool new concepts, entertainment behemoth Sony's tent dwarfed the Indie games showcase. Granted, the IndieCade needs sponsors and Sony wasn't showing off their huge blockbuster games but instead they were highlighting smaller downloadable games for the Playstation 3 and the struggling Vita. That raises a question. Are smaller, simpler indie games really the salvation for the Playstation Vita or handheld gaming in general?
That's not Blops II on the Vita, it's Declassified different games.
Why does PS vita needs saving? Still too early... It is doing fine. It will do well in couple of years. Look at how PS3 and PSP doing... Struggled at the start, tons of games and consoles outselling years later.
Disagreers are usually Americans and hardcore Xbox owners.
Go on then disagree.
First thing you gonna do if you are trolling on a article..dont do research and start bashing straight to the target.
You sir needs to educate yourself you just made yourself look totally stupid coz blackops2 is not released on Vita...i think you need to get out of writing article
What can you expect from Nihilistic software.
And its Black Ops: Declassified not Black Ops 2.

Trail Run Series
The XTERRA Trail Run Series features runs across the country ranging from 5 kilometers to 50 kilometers.
Each regional series has anywhere from three to seven races that runners can compete in to accumulate points towards their series championship totals. Age-group results will be tabulated after each race, and the cumulative results at the end of the season will determine the final series points.
Series champions are awarded free entry into the XTERRA Trail Run National Championship – an off-road half-marathon to be held in Snowbasin, Ogden, Utah, in September.
There are also several independent XTERRA Trail Run races in the U.S. for runners who are in a region that does not have a full series. View our schedule for a race near you.
XTERRA Trail Runs have also gone global with off-road races in such exotic locations as Costa Rica, New Zealand, Malaysia, Japan, Greece, Spain, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, France, Brazil, Philippines and Switzerland. At the end of the year, runners from all over the world will unite on the beautiful and majestic island of Oahu for the ultimate trail run – the XTERRA Trail Run World Championship in December.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The leaders of the United States, Britain and France all have a preference for a diplomatic solution on Syria's alleged use of chemical weapons but also see a need for the international community to weigh a "full range of responses" on the issue, the White House said on Tuesday.
President Barack Obama spoke by phone earlier on Tuesday with French President Francois Hollande and British Prime Minister David Cameron.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said the leaders agreed to have the U.N. Security Council explore a proposal floated by Russia to put Syria's chemical weapons under international control.
Carney also added that the leaders "discussed their preference for a diplomatic resolution but stressed the importance of continuing to develop a full range of responses" to the alleged use by Syria's government of chemical weapons.

Just for fun
O.K. Kevin, let's have a little hypothetical fun.
Let's say you decide you have had enough of the PWA and work and decide to take a rootsy discover mainland America sabbatical for a year.(Remember...hypothetical here)
Your van can only hold 3 boards and 5 sails. You get to choose what every you want from the Starboard/Maui Sails production gear vaults. Size is not a limitation.
You start in your hometown L.A. and drive up the west coast. Then you have to head east and hit all the midwest lakes and then head south to Texas. Then you head over to the east coast and tour it from FL to MA.
Your goal is to only spend a few days in each spot, but to maximize your sailing time and fun factor. In other words, you HAVE TO SAIL in less than ideal conditions. No MX unless there is less than 10mph of wind. You can't just sail the hot spots.
What do you bring?? What sizes and why?
Happy New Year!

RE: Just for fun
Ok.. I will have a play. My first board of choice would be the Stype 115. Then I would have an Acid 80 as my main wave board for all round sailing and for my third board it would be tuff decision between an Acid 74 or a Stype 93. The Stype 93 would be great for the Gorge and any of the higher wind lakes or clearing winds, great for blasting around with the 5.3 and catching some big air. The 74 would be nicer if I was staying on the coast more but if i was doing all the states then it would lean towards the Stype.. For sails I would use the Maui Sails Switch 7.5, 6.0, and then switch to the Legend 5.3, 4.7 and 4.2.
How about you? What is in your quiver and if you could build a dream quiver what would you take?

RE: Just for fun
Thanks for taking the time. I bet you would be on that Stype 115/Switch 7.5 more than you think. A lot of 10-15 on the mainland. I find it interesting no iSonics, formula...
That said, based on my own quiver, and I am tall (6'6" and #235). I would go for a 8.5 MS2, 7.5 and 6.4 Switch, 5.3 and 4.5 Legend. S-types 137, 115, and an EvoXTV 90. Thanks for asking
You and brother are class acts. Congrats on your latest title. I hope you have a great 2007.

Hi Kevin.
A trip around the States would be something. Lots of wonderful places to sail. I would not want to be limited by wind so.
Boards PA68. Flare99 and Serenity. To get the Serenity inside the van will have to be big, more luxury.
Sails 7.5 Ezzy infinity. 5.2,4.7,4.0,3.5 SE Wave.
Congrats on your results last year and a healthy, successfull 2007.

I would love to have the time to do a trip around the states. You know, I have been to twice as many countries as I have states. Hopefully one day I can check out my home country!
Keep your dream quivers coming. It is interesting to hear about!

RE: Just for fun
8-12knots 9.8 freerace sail
12-16knots 8.2 race sail
16-20knots 6.4 freewave/freestyle sail
20-25knots 5.7 wave sail
22-30knots 5.0 wave sail
80cm wide slalom / freerace board for 8.2-9.8
66cm/110liter freestyle/freewave board for 5.0-5.7-6.4
62cm/92 liter EV0 for 5.0-5.7
this is minimum kit for most fun on lakes and in open sea. dream quiver would add one more slalom board around like iS101 and 6.7 race sail and a supercross board around 120 liters with 7.3 nocam supercross sail, and then maybe one more wave sail around 4.5 for above 30knots. but i choose to stick with 3 boards and 5 sails currently as i can convince myself that there are no excessive overlaps of kit.
i am 190cm tall, 95kg weight.

RE: Just for fun
Well, I must admit that I am not good at manouvers and transitions, not good at all... and maybe for this reason I like speed much more than my buddies. And I also have many alternatives to not so perfect days, such as motorbiking, photography, and my daughter. Therefore, neither freestyle, nor big lightwind boards and sails, and not even much small stuff for extra strong winds.
So here is my ideal quiver:
boards: Evo XTV 75, Kombat 87, iSonic 94
sails: Maui Sails Global 4.7 and 5.4; Switch 6.0; TR-3 6.3, 7.0.
Actually, not much far away from my present quiver.

Revelations that a Singapore-based crime syndicate has been involved in fixing soccer matches around the world has put extra pressure on authorities in the Southeast Asian city-state to take action against the alleged ringleader.
The Singaporean businessman known as Dan Tan has been placed on Italy's wanted list and has been implicated in various investigations into soccer corruption, including Monday's revelations in The Hague by the European police agency Europol. He has avoided arrest in his homeland.
The Singapore Police Force said over the weekend it was assisting the Italian authorities through Interpol and has given information requested by the National Central Bureau in Rome, but had not charged Tan.
The Football Association of Singapore on Tuesday said it is continuing "to work closely with the relevant authorities, both at the domestic and international levels."
The 18-month review by Europol uncovered 380 suspicious matches in Europe and another 300 questionable games outside the continent, mainly in Africa, Asia and South and Central America. Matches included World Cup qualifiers and Champions League matches.
So far, there's been no arrest of Tan, despite multiple agencies in Singapore potentially having jurisdiction in the case.
"The authorities in Singapore are assisting the European authorities in their investigations into an international match-fixing syndicate that purportedly involves Singaporeans," the Singapore Police Force said in a statement.
"Singapore takes a strong stance against match-fixing and is committed to working with international enforcement agencies to bring down transnational criminal syndicates, including those that involve the acts of Singaporeans overseas, and protect the integrity of the sport."
Despite its immense wealth, Singapore has been hit by soccer corruption fueled by illicit gambling syndicates.
Last May, Singapore authorities charged a top referee and a former Malaysian international with conspiring to fix a Malaysian Super League match.
In another closely watched case, Singapore national Wilson Raj Perumal, who had ties to Asian and Eastern European gambling syndicates, was jailed in Finland for match-fixing.
"The problem of match-fixing is not just confined to Asia," Ridzal Saat, deputy director of development and planning at the Football Association of Singapore, told the AP. "It is a global problem and we will continue to work closely with the relevant authorities, both at the domestic and international levels to combat match-fixing and football corruption aggressively.
"We take a serious view of allegations pertaining to match-fixing and football corruption activities and the authorities and we will spare no effort in minimizing the possibility of such activities taking place within the local football scene."
Last February, 18 players in Malaysia were suspended for between two and five years on charges of match-fixing. Chinese courts handed out lengthy prison sentences last year to senior officials and players for accepting bribes. South Korea has taken measures to improve the structure of its league after the match-fixing scandal of 2011, when 46 contracted or former players were charged with corruption.

ICT is "information communication technology" - read more at Take Back the Tech about how new forms of communication and representation are influencing women's global status and roles in surprising ways. You might also want to check out Fried Tofu and Scrambled Egg's defense of her ideas at A Take Back the Tech Challenge.

Susan Loone, a Malaysian activist living in Bangkok, provides her thoughts on recent disturbing events in her homeland in 16 Days of Activism...But Women Bashed in All Directions.
Thinking Girl has an insightful post entitled How to Avoid Becoming a Rapist (with unusually thoughtful commentary, too). Which leads us directly to the next few posts.
I wanted to avoid the most popular feminist bloggers, since so many Carnival readers probably already read them, but the story about a University of New Hampshire student's criticism of a safe sex poster in the campus newspaper (the link and hundreds of appalling comments have since since been removed by UNH) and the resulting flood of online misogyny was too important to ignore. Twisty featured the story in Season's Beatdowns (at I Blame the Patriarchy), and Amanda at Pandagon followed up on it with Giving Boneheads a Bad Name. Read the comments. Although you might think these posts should go in the section on Sexism, the violence that so many commentators threatened puts it unquestionably here.
From Suffolk, England, Ellen Seymour of ProActive PR looks at the recent murder of five women, and then asks her readers What Do Prostitutes Really Want?

Ourselves, Our Bodies and Our Choices
In which we examine the implications and limitations of our choices about our bodies. Some key words for this section: miscarriage, pregnancy, identity, ambition, family, childbirth, sexuality.
We have three thoughtful and interlinked posts from Australia dealing with the different aspects of childbearing and their sociocultural and psychological consequences.

Books and History
Because I can't blog without bringing up either or both of these topics. Key words: literary review, middle ages, meat, poetry, novelists, women writers.
Erasing Louise Labe describes the controversy over a French poet who wrote so eloquently about women over four hundred years ago at Ellen and Jim Have a Blog, Too.

The new Feminist Review blog provides interesting commentary (and a couple more books to add to my holiday wish list): there's recent examinations of Fresh Lipstick: Redressing Fashion and Feminism, by Linda M. Scott, and Convent Chronicles: Women Writing about Women and Reform in the Middle Ages, by Anne Winston-Allen.

20th-Century Women Writers at the National Portrait Gallery, by Natalie Bennett (posting at the My London Your London cultural guide) provides an intriguing look at "the glam and the homespun" portraits of some of my favorite writers, and a couple more authors to add to my reading list.
And Finally
We have a few posts that can't be classified, but are definitely worth reading. Key words: music, language, the blues, and winter.
dogpossum writes about the blues in Just a Couple of Thoughts about Cold, Hot, and Va-Va-Voom.
Laurie and Debbie from the body impolitic tell us about Insults, Profanity, and Metaphor.
Malachi at Feminist Allies writes about teaching Japanese in I Reinforce Gender-Roles.

One week after Gianfranco Ferré sadly passed away, his final menswear show took to the catwalk in Milan in front of an emotional crowd. A parade of children dressed in white shirts (a Ferré trademark) closed the show to a standing ovation from guests, journalists and buyers.
Ferré's final collection included distinct variations of his signature white shirt worn underneath pale waistcoats. Tailoring in different shades of blue with touches of red to be worn from day through to night.

Ok, I'm gonna try and explain this the best I can cause my set-up is a little harry. Don't ask we why I'm doing this, I'm just trying to learn!
Here's my setup... The DHCP server is the '***'
D-Link Rounter (192.168.0.1) ------ Downstairs XP Box (192.168.0.100)
Switch ------- Upstairs XP Box (192.168.0.101)
***Upstairs Ubuntu Linux Box (192.168.0.102) 3 NICS
L eth2 (connected to switch)
L eth1 (does nothing so far)
L eth0 ------ Windows XP Laptop
In this figure, I want to get the Windows Laptop to resolve an address from the DHCP Ubuntu Server. What I have done is installed dhcp3 (apt-get install dhcp3...) and then tried to do things the way they did on http://ubuntuguide.org/#installdhcpserver
, I used eth0 for the interface that will serve requests like they did, when it came to the second part of the dhcp.conf I commented everything like they did. However, on the second part I changed things to fit my situation, so it looks like this...
then, I finally type 'sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart' and get this...Code:# A slightly different configuration for an internal subnet. subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 10.0.0.10 10.0.0.100; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option routers 10.0.0.1; #........ #........
I have both eth0 and eth2 active on my Network Settings and am able to connect to the internet from the Linux Box, however (needless to say) my Windows XP Laptop behind my DHCP Server can't get an IP addressCode:Stopping DHCP Server: dhcpd3. Starting DHCP Server: dhcpd3 failed to start - check syslog for diagnostics.
I appreciate any help greatly, I hope to get this running so I can get to the next phase of my little project!

Ian Somerhalder Reunites with Maggie Grace & 'Lost' Cast at PaleyFest 2014!
Ian Somerhalder gives his former cast mate Maggie Grace a huge hug at the Lost 10th Anniversary Reunion during the 2014 Paleyfest held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday night (March 16).
The duo were joined by their former co-stars Josh Holloway, Jorge Garcia, Henry Ian Cusick, Malcolm David Kelley, Yunjim Kim, and executive producer Damon Lindelof.
In case you haven't seen Lost, Ian and Maggie played step-siblings Boone Carlyle and Shannon Rutherford on the show about a plane crash on a deserted and mysterious island. Boone was also the *SPOILER ALERT* first major character to die while wrecked on the island.
FYI: Ian is wearing Johnston & Murphy.
15+ pictures inside of Ian Somerhalder and his cast mates at the Lost reunion…

Anti-government activists in Damascus say rebels have lost ground there after a concerted offensive by the Syrian government.
Residents of neighborhoods in southern Damascus that have been the scenes of intense fighting in the last month said the rebels had largely withdrawn after running short of ammunition and, in some cases, support.
"People want the (rebels) to change their tactics," said Nidal, an anti-government activist in Yarmouk, a large neighborhood in southern Damascus that borders a number of neighborhoods that had largely been taken over by the rebels. Nidal did not use his last name for fear of reprisals from the government.
"They still support them, but they want them to attack and disappear," Nidal said.
Though the rebels have often stated their commitment to guerrilla warfare, they have frequently taken over swathes of territory in Syrian cities and the countryside, drawing punishing shelling and airstrikes from the Syrian military. In pockets across the country, rebels have attempted to install themselves as a sort of government, alternately earning praise and criticism from civilians, but hardly adhering to guerrilla tactics.
Nidal said that the government's strategy of cordoning off a neighborhood before launching an incursion had succeeded in starving rebels of weapons and other supplies, citing the neighborhoods of Hajjar al Aswad and Tadamon, both of which adjoin Yarmouk, as examples of where the siege strategy had worked.
Other activists said Daraya, another southern Damascus suburb, remained without water and power more than a month after Syrian troops and pro-government militia had launched raids in the area, killing hundreds in late August.
Rebels had re-infiltrated all three areas in small numbers, Nidal said, but he added that nowhere in Damascus was there a rebel force capable of repelling army assaults and raids, as had occurred in a number of areas since rebels first began fighting in the capital in mid-July.
Yarmouk is home to about a million people, about half of whom are Palestinians. While many young Palestinians have joined the revolt against the government, an important dynamic in this month's fighting was the reassertion of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command, a pro-government Palestinian militia. Until last year the Popular Front, led by Ahmed Jabril, had controlled Yarmouk before anger toward the government made its militia rebel targets as well. In the last two weeks, the Popular Front has been resupplied with weapons by the Syrian government. According to people in Yarmouk, it once more controls the neighborhood.
Some residents of Yarmouk said that as many as 25,000 people had fled there from other parts of the country and that the recent fighting in Damascus had overwhelmed efforts to alleviate shortages of housing and food, leaving families camped in parks and begging for supplies.
The government's relative success in Damascus may simply be the result of a concentration of forces. In Aleppo, rebels have been able to maintain supply lines, though many there have complained bitterly about the lack of ammunition and heavy weaponry. Military analysts say the Syrian government has chosen to make a stand in Damascus and concentrated its most loyal and best-armed forces there, including the Republican Guard.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights, which documents the deaths of rebels and civilians, recorded 4,325 such deaths in September. The number was less than August's peak of nearly 5,400, but more than any other month to date. September does appear to have marked the grim milestone, however, of the deadliest single day of the conflict – 366 people killed on Sept. 27.
Damascus was the most violent province during the month, with 1,471 recorded fighter and civilian deaths. There were 986 in Aleppo province. In central Syria, the siege of Homs, the country's third largest city, was nearing its fifth month. The strategy the Syrian military has employed recently in Damascus is writ large in Homs, with residents complaining of acute shortages of food in rebel-held areas. There were also similar reports from Deir al Zour, a city near Syria's border with Iraq, where the government continues to rain artillery and airstrikes in a long-term siege.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights listed 483 women and children as among the dead across the country.
Violence had ebbed from an initial high in February and dropped in April and May after the announcement of a United Nations-backed peace plan. But violence escalated again in June as the plan fell apart and neither side showed a willingness to negotiate.
The Syrian government stopped publicizing casualties among the army and security forces earlier this year, though in June the Syrian government's own reports indicated rebels were sometimes killing dozens of soldiers each day. The number of total dead in the conflict is now likely more than 35,000.

At the smallest scale, mechanical engineering becomes nanotechnology, one goal of which is to build molecules and materials via microsynthesis. Current areas of mechanical engineering research in nanotechnology include nanofilters, nanofilms, and nanostructures such as microtubules. At its most basic, nanotech relies on tailoring the structure of materials at an atomic or molecular scale, to achieve specific properties. Using nanotechnology, new materials can be fabricated that are stronger, lighter, and better electrical conductors, among other properties.
Self-assembly of these structures may lead to new breakthroughs in artificial tissue generation. Micron-scale mechanical components such as springs, gears, and heat-transfer devices are fabricated from a variety of substrate materials such as silicon, glass and polymers like SU8. Biomechanics applies traditional engineering methodology to the analysis of biological systems. By copying the efficiency of nature, the study of biomechanics aids in creating prosthetic limbs and artificial organs for medical application. Beyond major requirements within the department, you may consider Nassau Community College physics program as a complementary elective.

UnNews:Chicago teams merge; staduims empty
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
31 May 2007
CHICAGO, IL – Long time rivals the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox have decided to bury the hatchet and merge to become one new team, the Chicago Cub Sox. "It feels great to finally end this dumb rivalry," said Cub Sox co-coach Dusty Baker. "The players are all performing much better now that they're less concerned with something childish like that." Baker, previously the coach of the Cubs, will lead the team on odd-numbered dates.
But not everyone is so happy with this merger. Said longtime White Sox fan Tommy Sardine, "I definitely will not be attending any Cub Sox games. I absolutely hate the Cubs, and any team involving them is not a team for me." Sardine has found an ally in classmate and longtime Cubs fan Jimmy Carp, who added, "I definitely will not be attending any Cub Sox games. I absolutely hate the White Sox, and any team involving them is not a team for me." Sardine and Carp, once bitter rivals for their opposite team preferences, have banded together to create an organization called "Calling United Baseballers to Separate Official Chicago Kick-butt Stadium-users" (C.U.B.S.O.C.K.S.) to rally against the merger and separate the teams again. "Frankly, this comes as a great surprise," said Baker. "C.U.B.S.O.C.K.S. has gathered enough supporters that at our first game, the stadium was totally empty. We're not giving in, though; the merged team is best for Chicago sports." However, sports analysts have predicted that if C.U.B.S.O.C.K.S. continues to hold this amount of support, the team may be forced to disband for good. "The thought of Chicago without a baseball team is awful," Carp said when asked about this possibility, "but it's better than the only team being one involving the White Sox." Sardine agreed, stating, "The thought of Chicago without a baseball team is awful, but it's better than the only team being one involving the Cubs." For now, Chicagoan baseball fans have two choices: Cub Sox, or C.U.B.S.O.C.K.S.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The assessment of a Shell drilling rig grounded off a remote Alaska island continued Friday, with officials putting more salvagers onboard.
Officials say in a release that critical response gear was put into place for the eventual recovery operation.
The Kulluk (CULL'-uck) ran aground Monday near Kodiak Island.
Power generators also were delivered. A majority of 14 support ships are expected to be in place this weekend.
Members of the command team also met with Alaska Native leaders in the nearby community of Old Harbor to hear their concerns over the grounding.
The Kulluk performed preliminary work on a well during the open water season in the Beaufort (BOH'-fort) Sea.
It was being towed to Seattle last week for upgrades when it became separated from tow lines during a storm.
