Veteran actress Helen Mirren has said she "kept waiting" to have children but motherhood was not in her destiny.
In the past the Oscar-winning actress has insisted that motherhood holds no interest for her and said she has "no maternal instinct".
But in a recent interview the 67-year-old admitted that she always expected to be a mother, reported The Telegraph.
"It was not my destiny. I kept thinking it would be, waiting for it to happen, but I never did, and I didn't care what people thought," she said.
The 'Queen' star has been in a relationship with Taylor Hackford, the American film director, since her 40s and married him in 1997. She is his third wife and he has two children from previous marriages.
Mirren said she "loves children" and enjoys being a stepmother, adding that it was more men than women who have questioned her about not having children.
"Women never gave me a hard time, anyway, it was only boring old men. And whenever they went 'What? No children? Well, you'd better get on with it, old girl', I'd say 'No!"

For example, writing stories, book or film reviews, postcards or greetings cards, emails, leaflets, computer game instructions, and so on, as well as, of course, writing on the LearnEnglish Kids website
In the classroom there are many ways of using these writing activities to help children practise their English whilst developing their creativity and imagination. Here are some examples.
The Tooth Family is a flash-animated song available online on the British Council's site for young learners LearnEnglish Kids.

A/N: First fanfic and testing! Seriously, it took me three weeks up till now just to know how to upload chapters onto fanfic. I had to get my friend, 'Starlight Constellation' to teach me how to. Thank her so much! Anyways, I hope this fanfic works out someway. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Okami. I just own the character and anything added to the story line about it. Ciao!
"Zuo. Finally here I see." The leader of the eight heads of Orochi sneered with hate as it saw the shadowed figure of a lithe cat stepping out of the shadows.
"Zuo! Zuo is here!" The light head screeched with glee.
"Huh? Zuo is here? Where?" The lightning head asked idiotically, swinging his head to and fro, looking for his said enemy. As you know the lightning head is ignorant as it is situated directly opposite of the fire head at the back, where it doesn't know anything.
"Kill..." The dark head muttered darkly. Pun not intended.
"I'm looking forward to see you finally gone." Spat out the poison head, voice venomous and deadly.
"Sssss. Zuo. Dead." The water head hissed, speaking on one word sentences.
"Betrayal is not accepted in our army." The earth head said firmly, solid dissaproval in it's eyes.
"Fuuuu." The wind head made a swishy sound, but obviously looking pleased at the situations as it's other heads.
The cat, mini compared to the monster infront of it, looked unaffected and gazed at the treacherous youkai with a bored gaze. Then, it eye-smiled. Sick and mocking, hiding it's grey irises with a loud, snick.
"Thank you for the welcome party. I knew you guys loved me and all, but don't you think you overdid it?" The voice, undoubtly male, rutted evenly out of it's throat, voice pleasant and with fake happiness in every word.
All the eight heads recoiled distainfully, hissing and narrowing their eyes, "What barbaric words are you spewing?!" The fire head snarled.
"If I might imply Ho-kun*. These collars are awfully annoying, they itch and are constricting." Zuo addressed the fire head, using it's nickname, knowing it'll rile the serpent up. He clawed the iron collar around his neck, the chains dangling from it jingled in the movement. The chain end was held by crimson beast, flames as it's body and armour giving it shape tightly studded around it. It stood on four legs, and it's shape resembled a centaur, four legs and two arms. In it's hand it held a large katana, while the other hand it held Zuo's chains. It's head was an exact copy of the fire head's, completing the look.
The leader of the eight snakes glared at the tiny cat, and as if on cue, the guard holding Zuo's chains gave his chains a harsh yank, the spikes on the inside of the collar digging into Zuo's neck. The black cat inwardly flinched at the pain.
"You know better Zuo. That collar restrains you in that pitiful form and with my shadow as your guard, you have no escape of your fate." The fire head explained patiently and easily.
"Tenka-san** is fairly weak, and having the title as the crimson helm is a bit decieving." Zuo commented. The crimson helm showed no signs that it heard that, only shifting slightly as it heard it's name. Of course, the crimson helm is just a shadow, with only hatred as it's emotion.
"San. San? Of all the -kun I heard from you calling us, why call that lesser being san?" The poison head asked spitefully, albeit abit exasperated.
"Well, Doku-chan***, I think Tenka-san looks a whole lot cooler and bulkier than all of you." Zuo stated matter of factly.
"ENOUGH. Execute the traitor." Whispered a very omnious voice, quiet but somehow everyone in the chamber heard it.
"Hai! Yami-sama!" Every youkai/monster in the chamber yelled, all falling to one knee to the command. The crimson helm harshly dragged, if not quickly, Zuo to the platform where he stood up infront of all the other monsters. Zuo was dumped ungraciously between the two muscled imps that had two spears that were made of ink black metal. Sign of corruption.
"Any last words, scum?" Zuo stared, unimpressed, at the hidden evil.
"Just a word of advice. You should have killed me before asking questions." With that, the two imps raised their spears and moved to pierce Zuo's heart. Said cat easily moved slightly so the spears hit on his collar instead. The collar, under the simple pressure of two muscled imps with abnormal strength, and two sharp, and shiny, spears... cracked. And crumbled. And broke.
It was a long time before everymonster watching got over their shock. "HE ESCAPED!"
Panic. Panic. Shock. Panic. Wao. In their panic stupor, they missed the escaping assailant, disappearing in a cloud of dark mist.
"Trash! He escaped! Search for him!" At least the evil overlord is smarter than an average youkai. The big crowd finally calmed down enough to search and obey their lord's orders. Unfortunately for them. The cunning little cat is untraceable by scent, and unseeable by eye, like nothing really.
"Lesson trashes. Kill before asking." Zuo chuckled from far away, looking smugly at the demons that are desperately looking for him, but with miserable results.
*Is Romaji for fire
**Is Romaji for fire caused by lightning
***Is Romaji for poison

Shutdown Helps NSA Shed Even Pretense of Surveillance Oversight Efforts
James Clapper, director of national intelligence, made a great big deal at a hearing last week about the shutdown affecting work at the National Security Agency and having to furlough 70 percent of civilian workers. Those were the civilian workers, not the full staff. NSA surveillance is still going on.
Andrea Peterson at the Washington Post crunched the numbers the best she could (because the actual total of NSA employees is classified) and based on what little has been said, she calculated that about 15 percent of the NSA's full staff of employees has been furloughed.
But, even though the NSA is still at work, that not-exactly-independent, not-necessarily-reform-minded surveillance evaluation team the White House put together is not meeting, because of the shutdown. Peterson reports:
While the National Security Agency (NSA) has largely escaped the government shutdown, the panel investigating NSA spying practices has effectively been frozen. Politico reports that as of Friday, the five-member Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies lost its staff to the furlough associated with the government shutdown.
The group, which is largely comprised of intelligence community and White House insiders, was initially scheduled to remain running during the furlough. However, former acting CIA director Michael Morell declined to attend a scheduled meeting Tuesday, citing the shutdown: "While the work we're doing is important, it is no more important than — and quite frankly a lot less important — than a lot of the work being left undone by the government shutdown, both in the intelligence community and outside the intelligence community."
By Friday, the office of Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, which is facilitating the panel, reversed course and determined that panel members' staff should be furloughed, according to Politico's sources. While in theory the members are unpaid, so the panel could continue without support staff or payment for travel expenses, that seems unlikely.
Morell's comments and completely symbolic gesture don't exactly inspire any sort of faith in this group. Clapper's flip-flopping on furloughing the staff that assisted the review team is also pretty telling.

But, even though the NSA is still at work, that not-exactly-independent, not-necessarily-reform-minded surveillance evaluation team the White House put together is not meeting, because of the shutdown. Peterson reports:
I'm not sure why this is so complicated.
NSA Surveillance: Essential.
NSA Oversight: Non-essential.
but isn't protecting the people (their rights) essential? bahahahah i am dreaming
Why isn't that greasy little shitstain in jail yet? The whole fucking country knows that his minions are committing BILLIONS of illegal wiretaps every goddamned day.
Please tell me that's a rhetorical question; I don't think it's possible to go so long without knowing the correct answer.
Investigators are leaving Clapper be for now, hoping they can work their way up the clandestine network, and, eventually, bust whoever who his boss is.
Some guy that goes by Heisenberg.
I won't be surprised at all if after SHUTDOWNMEGGEDON is over they quietly forget about this "panel" and nothing else will happen.
The shutdown, at least in terms of distracting people (once again) from the NSA shit, has been a complete boon to the administration.
Don't be so cynical, Epi. Why, I'll bet the NSA is pretty close to solving that Benghazi thing.
Given the amount of data they collect, I'm sure they know precisely who the guilty are.
They still have to process it, and to do you would require the assumption that they give a shit about terrorism.
Don't be ridiculous they wouldn't dare surveil the communications of the overlords.
The letter telling NSA staff to go home informs them that "If you ... wish to appeal this action ..., you must file your appeal within 30 days .... You may obtain a copy of the appeals form from the MSPB website".
*** goes to MSPB website ***
Due to the shutdown of the Federal Government, the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board has ceased all operations until further notice.
Now, to be fair, the form *is* available on the site. But ... will "all operations" be up and running within 30 days, hmmm?
I once was going to write "NSA Go Home" all over their walls 100 times
"NSA they go the house? What is this? LOCATIVE! LOCATIVE!"
Does anything taste quite as nice as lightly grilled schadenfreude?
Maybe progressive tears.
Good work, Boehner. Now the intelligence community and White House insiders aren't there to keep the intelligence community and White House in check.

They know damn well that they're violating everyone's rights; they're breaking the wiretap act so often you can't even begin to punish them. If they just wiretapped one person one time it would be a major felony, but if you do it 330 million times a second, what is that? Well, it's not a conspiracy theory, it's a business plan. So the utopias we're reduced to are not like Ursula Le Guin, The Dispossessed-style anarchist moon utopia, but instead we are reduced to, "Someday we might have a limited government again, we might have a state that protects us."
I don't measure my government by the fact that it's not as bad as North Korea. I measure my government by what it is supposed to do, the ideals it is supposed to live up to. So, for me, utopia is this idea that we might have a liberal democracy again, period.
Sad but true, too many people either just don't care about 1984-style governance or they're actively in favor of it.
Maybe there's hope in Rand Paul but I can't help but feel that, even if he is somehow elected, the scum will just keep doing what they want regardless.
Needs more slinging rocks from the moon. Less democracy and more throwing people out of air locks.
I'm really starting to not like this
Clapper dude.
Nobody likes the clap.
These people do... don't other them.
Don't worry everyone, the panel members will still be paid once the shutdown ends.
Makes you wonder if the "oversight" people do anything in the first place.
I stopped wondering long ago.
They look over stuff, or was it overlook?
Republican gets destroyed by Bill Maher on Obamacare:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, Welch. This is why when you go on Bill Maher, you bust him in the fucking nose and don't let up.
He's not intelligent enough to make an actual argument, so he relies on his audience's laughter to cut off his opponent, relies on numbers by having the conservative/libertarian severely outnumbered, and just generally talks over people with his smug, idiotically condescending tone.
That's why you have to handle this like Christopher Hitchens.
Hitchens: (Ahmadinejad) has said that he thinks the Messiah is coming back.
Maher: So does George Bush by the way.
(Audience laughs because they don't know what a joke is)
Hitchens: Your audience, which will clap apparently anything, is frivolous. (Audience boos) Fuck you. (Hitchens flips them off) Fuck you.
I've been on the John Stewart show, I've been on your show, I've seen you make about five George Bush IQ jokes per night. There's no one I know who can't do it. This is now the joke that stupid people laugh at. It's a joke that any dumb person can laugh at because they think they're smarter than the president. Like the people who make booing noises in your audience. (Audience boos) (While flipping them off) None of you are smarter than the president.
THAT'S how you roll when you go on Bill Maher's show, Welch.
I really love how he flips the audience off and's like "Yeah, fuck you idiots."
It's a shame he didn't point out that stupid people *make* the joke.
You could write Maher's jokes a week in advance and mail 'em in.
Politics is war by other means. It's all a zero-sum game, a battle for the whip with which to take from others, which is precisely why all of the hatred, enmity, and Robber's-cave attitudes find their perfect expression in political conflict.
Matt wants to engage people in polite political discussion, but There is no polite political debate to be had--the state is the monopoly of coercion, and the only thing for an advocate of the NAP to do is to say no to aggression in any form. If you go into a political discussion and start handing out plaudits to statists for their asinine, unexpected comments, you deserve to get skewered by YouTube idiots. Either stop appearing on shows like these or stop being nice about it.
Surprise, surprise! Pro-amnesty rally will go on despite shutdown http://www.breitbart.com/Big-G.....t-Shutdown
I'm sure a Tea Party rally would've got the go-ahead too guys.
Don't disagree with the decision, although I agree it likely would have been different had it been a Tea Party rally
"because the actual total of NSA employees is classified"
Providing this information would be a severe danger to the national security of NSA's budget.
CNN has journalism students on for an interview, Irish weeps for the future.
There are people on this show who say they wouldn't even bother talking about Ted Cruz. They get their news exclusively from Twitter and Washington Post. They all have punchable faces. One guy says he's 'old school' which apparently means that he wakes up to NPR. One dude says he gets news from Wapo and, I shit you not, Buzzfeed. A girl likes to get her news from Slate.
They simply cannot talk enough about John Stewart, and it seems that none of them realize that he's been telling the same joke for 5 years.
One guy says we shouldn't let people get away with spreading 'falsehoods.' The example he uses is people calling Obamacare 'unconstitutional' when, his words, "the Supreme Court ruled it's constitutional." It never occurs to this nitwit that people saying the ACA is unconstitutional are saying that it ACTUALLY violates the constitution and that the Supreme Court got the decision wrong. This would take an additional second of rational thought, which apparently our journalism students are incapable of.
""the Supreme Court ruled it's constitutional." It never occurs to this nitwit that people saying the ACA is unconstitutional are saying that it ACTUALLY violates the constitution and that the Supreme Court got the decision wrong."
And I've been told that the SCOTUS never actually said that Obamacare was constitutional in its present form, It would be unconstitutional as a penalty, yet constitutional as a tax,(which of course must originate in the house of reps) the answer to the question nobody asked...
This is why I write opinion pieces in my local paper. I'm a science major, and I write more coherently than the journalism graduate students.
Journalism is easy, just cut/paste from UPI/AP/Reuters/etc., splice in a couple of reaction shots, and wrap that shitbird up.. easy as pie...
The year 2000 called, it wants its intro back.
the Supreme Court ruled it's constitutional
Actually, Mr. Future Journalist, the SCOTUS ruled a portion of it constitutional, and another major portion of it unconstitutional. There are many lawsuits in progress, at least a couple of which will probably reach SCOTUS, challenging other portions.
I dont think that student is a detail guy.
I'm sure the guy believing that the Supreme Court has the Last Word on the ACA believes the same thing about Citizens United, right?
In this hilarious age when people will admit straight-up that "it's OK when our side does it" when prompted, holding them to task on hypocrisy is difficult.
And: "Pelosi: Impossible to negotiate"
This prolly has to do with her inability to form a complete sentence, but she claims that those darn rethuglicans aren't all on the same page!
Imagine that! People who aren't in lock-step!
Obviously this is why we need more government, to make sure we're all on the same page.
Yes, I can see it now, a cabinet level position called the "Same Page Czar™"...
Dammit, stop giving them ideas!
OK, I can handle the Jets almost intercepting and then blocking a punt. Now let's see if Geno can do something with it.
Isn't it amazing how Clapper managed to get sentenced, pardoned, and return to his former position so quickly? What a country!
They know who you are, Anonbot...
Don't get down on our chubby bath-oil friend LardoSardo. In this month's print version of Reason, they quote him in the "commenters of the month" section, along with Xenocles and Paul. I don't remember the quote exactly, it was something about some sort of bean footage.
Damn you again whoever got me hooked on XCom. Also, there should be a game where we get to be the aliens.
The writing is abominable, but the gameplay is wonderfully existential if you play it the right way (classic iron man with hidden potential turned on). I lost a half dozen supports the last time I played through, but the threat of losing veterans makes for a much tenser game than the standard restart-level, always-win game.
What type of game is XCom?
Turn-based tactics with team building. Great game. I think you can get the original on abandonia.
You got that wrong. Warty fucks his victims to death, not himself. At least, not to date.
More like this, I assume..

School gives out assignment asking students to 'prune' two amendments from the bill of rights and add two new ones.
I feel like I wouldn't have a problem with this if the assignment in any way was about the amendment process. If they said 'you need to convince the American public to adopt your amendments' and explained the way amendments are created, then this would be a decent assignment.
Instead, it says that the student is part of a 'task force' whose job is to revise the Bill of Rights.
So in addition to being morally dubious and bound to offend many of the children's parents, this assignment also is based on total falsehoods and has nothing to do with the real amendment process.
It also says that the GOVERNMENT of the United States 'considers it outdated' and wants it changed. This sounds more like an illegal coup than an amendment process.
This seems like a pretty terrible assignment.
Obviously the 2nd would be the first to go, but what would a progtard choose next? 1st or 10th?
Anyway, two new Amendments:
1. You can haz free shit
2. Congress shall have the authority to make any law necessary and proper to ensure social justice for the People.
May as well "prune" the 10th, since the Supreme Court declared that it was a mere "truism" (U.S. v. Darby) and the 4th since it's dead letter. My first amendment would be: Article I, Section 8, clause 3 shall henceforth read as follows: [The Congress shall have Power] To regulate only the transportation of goods with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes;
Article I, Section 8, clause 13 is amended as follows: The Congress shall have Power - To make only such laws as are necessary for the Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
"School gives out assignment asking students to 'prune' two amendments from the bill of rights and add two new ones."
Only two? They need a trifecta..
"Many American believe"
Way to go there, teach, just keep setting a good example for your kids.

Preserve Our Children's Innocence and shield them from gun violence in America, both real and scripted.
Demand that our government create the same strong regulations for guns as they have for toys, cars and food.
I swear this gets dumber every time I see it. The fact that she thinks guns are less heavily regulated than toys is always hilarious.
The big diff is that the regulations regarding toys, cars, and food do not involve making it difficult or impossible for most adults to own any of those things, which are the kind of regulations I suspect she wants for guns.
Also, an interesting use of the word "scripted." I guess using the obvious word "imaginary" would have been too embarrassing.
Well, that's simple enough, make sure that the guns package says "Recommended for ages 18 & up", make sure it contains no melamine or radium in its paint, and stamp"Maybe harmful or fatal if swallowed" on the frame, and its large enough that toddlers can't swallow it... problem solved.
I watched the movie "Toy Story" for the first time yesterday. The bad next-door-neighbor kid straps an M80 firecracker to a toy green soldier and blows him (it) to smithereens. The only one holding a gun was the little green toy soldier. There's a deep message in there somewhere.
That is all.
I've had Silk Road account for a couple of years. I didn't purchased anything there, just look-see. Contrary to some news reports, Silk Road did not host guns, ammunition, or contract killings. It was drugs and fake drivers licences.
So yesterday, when I fully understood that Silk Road had gone down and I had some time on my hands, I set up an account with Sheep Marketplace. Ya know, so I could see what it's all about. The SM has Glocks for sale at about $2800USD. That seems a bit expensive to me, but I don't know. There are about 15 of them for sale, from one unvetted vendor: a rebellion in the making.
That's considerably higher than what an untraceable weapon would usually run. Last I had seen, handguns went for something closer to 3x retail, not 7x.
One of the best Dodger games I've ever seen. I Love LA!
Kirk Gibson disagrees.
The Dodger Home Game Process:
1. Arrive no earlier than the bottom of the third.
2. Spend the next three innings texting and looking around to see who's there and who sees you.
3. Leave no later than the top of the seventh.
4. Pay no attention to the guys running around in pajamas and spikes.

Martin 000 18 Authentic - non adjustable truss rod
Martin 000 18 Authentic - non adjustable truss rod
Shopping around for a new finger style guitar I have become particularly enamoured with the tone and playability of a Martin 00018A. I am concerned though that it does not have an adjustable truss rod. Is this something to be concerned about and if the neck for some reason needs to be adjusted down the road can it still be done? As well are there any owners out there that would be kind enough to share their thoughts on this particular guitar, or similar ones for that matter?

Pupils thrilled to celebrate Dr Who in special lessons at South Craven School
9:00am Friday 13th December 2013 in News
Students celebrated all things sci-fi at a special Whovian Extravaganza.
The event featured villainous daleks, fascinating scientific experiments and a visit from Dr Who novel series author Daniel Blythe.
The occasion was one of many taking place across the country to mark Dr Who's 50th anniversary.
Organiser Hannah Bridge, who is South Craven School's head of English, said: "I'm so grateful to everyone who was involved either as a host or a guest.
"It proved to be a great day, which appealed to a real cross-section of our school community.
"It's just a shame that we don't have a reason to celebrate this British television phenomenon every year – 51st anniversary doesn't have quite the same ring to it!"
Mr Blythe spoke to Year Seven and eight pupils about his inspirations and motivations as a writer.

Fire brigade called as Mercedes V6 turbo goes up in flames
28 November, 2013
A fire this week was not the first incident at Brixworth, as Mercedes develops its turbo V6 engine for 2014.
Auto Motor und Sport reports that the fire brigade was called to the German manufacturer's Northamptonshire headquarters on Monday evening after an Formula 1 engine caught fire on a test bench.
Mercedes said there was no significant damage, and that the fire department was only summoned as a precaution.
But AM&S correspondent Michael Schmidt said that the development of the Mercedes turbo motor has been troublesome, with other incidents having also occurred recently. (GMM)

Early Morning Puppet Show
On the stroke of 7 o' clock this morning the girls came running in. Like normal, I was barely awake and finding any excuse to remain with eyes-closed and hoping that Daddy Tea would do any talking that was required. He didn't say much, because it turned out he was already up and in the shower, but since I had not noticed, I remained extra still and playing at being asleep. Zzzz.
There had been a whole lot of giggling and whispering, but then all of a sudden it went quiet. I opened one eye.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the foot puppet theatre!"
And with that I opened my other bleary eye and was treated to a rendition of The Owl and the Pussycat via the medium of puppet feet.
Surprisingly good, and very amusing, and quite a nice start to an otherwise very normal Wednesday. Thanks girls.

sS13 lookbook
Saint Laurent
Releasing his first full campaign for the newly re-branded Saint Laurent, Hedi Slimane's Spring 13 menswear lookbook draws subtle inspiration from his own connection with music. This rocker fixation is translated through the models' bouffant "Bowie" hair, and Slimane's razor sharp tailoring, leather detail and signature slim silhouettes - including a refreshed version of Yves Saint Laurent's iconic Le Smoking suit, solidifying a high-fashion interpretation of rock n roll style. Slimane also introduces stand-out geometric prints that offer a playful vision, with polka dots, leopard spots and square motifs lending pomp to an otherwise refined collection.

YOU'VE heard of the Hairy Bikers but what about The Hairy Lemon?
YOU'VE heard of the Hairy Bikers but what about The Hairy Lemon?
This popular Mediterranean restaurant in nearby Halifax certainly has a name to remember and it was with great curiosity that we drove the short journey down the Ainleys and into neighbouring Calderdale.
To be honest, we decided on The Hairy Lemon as a venue for our night out, out of pure mischief and simple curiosity about the very unusual name.
Parking up in the town's Lord Street – just a two minute walk from the central Bull Green roundabout – we soon spotted the sizeable restaurant which was reasonably busy for early on a cold winter's Tuesday evening.
The Hairy Lemon's choice of name was inspired apparently by its namesake in Dublin, a favourite with the original owner's wife who hails from the Irish city. Current co-owner Matthew Monaghan decided to stick with the name and it's certainly one you're not likely to forget in a hurry.
So what could we expect from a restaurant with such a memorable name? Well, it's basically a tapas style dinery with a welcoming and spacious contemporary interior and very pleasant relaxed atmosphere.
Inspired by the Mediterranean, it offers an extensive choice of tapas dishes from all over the region including Greece, Spain and Cyprus.
For tapas novices, there are two ways to do this. Either order individual dishes from the extensive menu or choose three dishes each for just under £10 and any extra dishes you might fancy.
To get things under way, we decided to choose our three dishes each and an extra Greek salad.
After much debate we settled on our nine dishes which proved a great mix of tastes from around the Med and allowed all three of us to dip in and try a bit of everything.
Our choices read like a who's who of Mediterranean cuisine: houmous with pitta bread, filo pastry triangles filled with Fetta and Halloumi cheese, Beef Stifado, grilled Halloumi cheese, a vegetarian butter bean casserole topped with Fetta, Pan Catalana bread topped with tomato, olive and garlic paste, garlic and herb mushrooms, Pollo Al Ajillio creamy chicken with white wine and garlic and Patatas Bravas, delicious deep fried potatoes with spicy tomato sauce.
We all tucked into the dips and breads first before embarking on our tour of the Med.
There were a few tastes I'd not experienced before: the grilled Halloumi cheese was delicious, the Beef Stifado was rich and extremely tasty and the Patatas Bravas were spicy and filling.
The Hairy Lemon offers a choice of around 40 tapas dishes which were all generous portions, unlike other tapas bars I have visited.
We were certainly filling up fast but still had room to try a pudding.
Puds at The Hairy Lemon are displayed on a blackboard and although the choice is limited, we found something we all agreed on.
Three of us decided to share at two desserts Sticky Toffee Sponge with cream and Banoffee Pie, followed by a couple of cappuccinos to round off a great evening out.
Although there was nothing mind blowing about the puds, they were filling, sweet and tasty which is all you would ask of a dessert really.
The Hairy Lemon, with its simple Mediterranean style decor and quality food, is well worth a drive to Halifax for a meal out.
Tucked away down a side street, this restaurant proved a real find and provided us with a genuine taste of the Med and a great night out.

However, this does not mean that the full government is subject to Title VI because an individual program or activity in the Parks and Recreation Department is federally funded.
Not true. Typically, grantors want to see services delivered in a compliant manner. It is not their goal to rescind funding, but rather to ensure that programs funded are delivered in a non-discriminatory manner. Grantors will work with non-compliant grantees to assist them in achieving compliance. If non-compliance is determined, grantors will work with grantees to help them achieve compliance, typically involving a corrective action plan to achieve compliance. Outright refusal to comply will often result in funding being terminated..

Arus has been mostly overhauled. No other changes are included, nevertheless we have been busy. Check the Alpha 1.0 news post for more information ...

We want YOUR feedback! Play the game in it's current state, drop us a comment...you can even suggest content for the game.
Important Note: The current releases are heavily outdated. Behind the scenes a lot of things have been overhauled. Please don't submit a rating based on the available downloads, but share your meaning as comment.

You can watch the game on IndieDB to be informed when news and downloads are available and follow the project on Twitter. We're happily responding to Tweets and comments
~ The team of Kelgar
1 comment by TinyWorlds on Aug 25th, 2013
Hello everyone! This time the one bringing you fresh news from the development of Kelgar is me, Miamelly, Illustrator and Concept Artist for Kelgar.
There is a lot of going on Kelgar; we have done an overhaul on the workspace, milestones have been set, meetings are now better planned, and discussion topics are arranged to avoid clutter. This means that with simple organization we are way more effective than before. These improvements will directly impact Kelgar's development and future.
So lets start talking about what is going on Kelgar, or rather, listening to this: Soundcloud.com
Music is one of the major aspects to create a correct atmosphere for a situation or environment, and I believe Corey (our music composer) is gifting Kelgar a lot with his genius. The music gives a steady and mysterious feel, as if something is about to be discovered or a truth is about to be exposed. As we listen, we create tension and a sense of curiosity to learn what lies behind this. Perhaps a dangerous unexplored forest or who knows, a secret world next to ours. Whatever there is for us, I am sure it will be exciting.
Not everything is sugar coated in Kelgar; for emerging heroes, troublesome ladies are for sure a must. Or perhaps, old ladies.
On your journeys you will probably meet a sad looking woman with her sorrowful eyes, looking as if she has lost something important to her. The old lady already met the end of her best days and is quick to ask for help: she wants help looking for a plant. A simple task given by a simple woman. A small good deed will never hurt nobody but hey, why such a pretty old lady would want so much those plants to fight with her age for it ? Its up to our heroes to discover and act in accord (or just do it, earn your rewards and go away).
The currently concept of our lady is still very vague, but we already have some nice concepts of her probably appearance.
Far from her, but perhaps not too far, another person asks for help.
A man with a peculiar appetite, tired and worn out tries to convince our hero for a little hand. The state of his body suffers from diarrhea and a lot of troubles with his stomach. Its said that eating mud should help him... however it doesn't seems he can handle the digging for himself. Its a little labor for the player, but its sure that they can learn a bit from this exercise. And before I forget to mention, yes this lovely person been there on the previous version of Kelgar and if you played I am sure you'll recognize him and all the mockery made to him (you horrible person!). We discussed a lot of ideas for this guy, as an introduction quest for the digging feature we had a lot of thoughts about the motives of this guy, and perhaps even more about his concept, ranging from an old noble man to a poor worker. its been undeniable fun working on this guy, take a look on our currently concepts:
Kelgar is growing on size and content and we would like to keep this project community friendly, behind the scenes there is some projects were you, Epic Watcher, will have the opportunity to leave your mark on the world of Kelgar. Also as been said on the previous developer diaries, we will be adding a lot of modding compatibility for a never ending fun.
Kelgar is on Twitter (@KelgarDev), which you're more than welcome to follow it and ask us anything (well, almost anything, we can't answer you the meaning of the universe of course)!
Arus has been mostly overhauled. No other changes are included, nevertheless we have been busy. Check the Alpha 1.0 news post for more information ...
changelog: added procedural get-me-food quest (ask old man) added walking/running (press Q) added models added textures & blend brushes changed sounds...
partly improved interiors of Ridaz; added garden to herb store; added few ambient sounds; added working torches and lamps; added working ore trigger...
I already posted a download link as news, because I had problems submitting it here. Luckily the filehoster I normally use works again. changelog: - added...
This is a very small patch for Kelgar Alpha 0.6 which will improve performance a lot. The issue was that for some invisible triggers no model was assigned...
changelog: - new User interface - new way of trading and looting - chests, barrels and crates with random loot - removed mudeater sidequest - changed...
Tried the Alpha 0.7 version. The quests work, and all is good but optimization. In 0.7 , I had to disable almost everything to get 30 FPS, while 0.6 I could play 30 FPS with all maxed out. But besides that, this is becoming a really solid "game".
Keep it up, but don't rush it!
I have no idea what the reason is. I will browse the new files for the reason.
I compared the performance at the spawn point of both versions and in 0.7 it was even a bit better.
Does it lag on the whole map or just on specific points?
I found the problem. I installed "Trigger 39" from the 0.6 performance patch into 0.7, and it cleared up the FPS issue.
Might want to fix that or tell people to install it in the next news update.
Ha, this is actually empty.
It seems like the program tried to execute it again and again but failed, because it was nothing there.
Thank you for your help.
I found that it lags everywhere, but wierdly, the least in the town. What happens is that I would disable a graphics option, then get good FPS for about 3 seconds, then it drops again to about 15-25. Even at the lowest settings, it would stay 15-25 FPS.
I tested this on 2 computers
Important Specs
Laptop GTX 460m, 8gb Ram, i7 Quad Core 740 @ 3.2 GHz
Desktop GTX 460 , 8gb Ram, i5 Quad Core 760 @ 2.80 GHz
Without all the rpg stuff with just running the map you would've had over 300 fps (capped at 200 fps though), trust me, I've worked with the engine a long time and I'm making the haunted mines ;)
I had no time yesterday, so I will upload the new monthly release this time on the 2nd.
Had multiple problems with uploading the new version.
Currently using Mirrorcreator to upload it on 9 sites at the same time.
It takes years..

Filmmakers are working in downtown Texarkana shooting the remake of the movie, "The Town that Dreaded Sundown." Starting Monday, June 17th, film crews will blocking off sections of downtown Texarkana. Barricades will be up at the Federal Courthouse and on Broad Street. Film crews are expected to wrap up shooting in Texarkana on Wednesday. The original 1976 horror film was directed by Texarkana Native Charles B. Pierce. While the majority of the film is under production is Shreveport, Location Manager Kendrick Hudson says some of the scenes will be shot in downtown Texarkana. "It's a classic Americana look with the architecture and the buildings," said Hudson. Texarkana, Arkansas Police Chief Bob Harrison was in the original film. He was working off-duty security when the director surprised him with a role. "One day he said go down to the wardrobe room and get dressed. I'm going to put you in the movies," said Chief Harrison. The movie is based on a series of actual murders in Texarkana attributed to a man dubbed locally as the Phantom Killer, who murdered five people in 1946. The "Phantom Killer" was never identified by law enforcement. Chief Harrison played one of the victims. Film crews will in Texarkana for three days, but their still keeping relatively quite about the project. The projected release date for the MGM film has not been released.

Bulgarian Iron Church Celebrates Patron Day
The Bulgarian "St. Stephen" church in Istanbul is celebrating Monday the day of its patron.
The Church was inaugurated in 1898 by Exarch Joseph and marks the beginning of the Bulgarian exarchate. It is also the main worship place of Bulgarian Christian Orthodox in Turkey.
The Vratsa metropolitan Kalinik, bishop Naum, Chief Secretary of the Bulgarian Holy Synod, representatives of the "St. Stephen Church" Foundation are in Istanbul to take part in the mass. The event will be also attended by Orthodox Bulgarians, living in the city and Bulgarian tourists.
In the occasion of the celebrations, the dome of the church was recently gold-plated thanks to a donation of Bulgarians from Plovdiv. Bulgarians living in Istanbul now say the church is the only one in the city having a gold-covered dome, the Bulgarian National Radio, BNR, reports.
Three years ago, St. Stephen was declared the most beautiful church in Turkey. Architects call it a unique building. It is also the only cast-iron church in the world.
On Friday, the Istanbul City Hall announced it will use municipal funds to repair the temple.

RIM has decided to speed up the rate at which Android apps are submitted to the BlackBerry PlayBook section of App World – from now on, every Android app developer who submits an app by February 13 has a chance of getting a free PlayBook tablet.
We're talking a free 16GB PlayBook, which retails for $199. Sounds like a great freebie, and there's not a lot of work involved if you already own an app.
This offer is clearly meant to bulk up app numbers by the time PlayBook OS 2.0 launches (an rumored launch date is February 17). The updated OS will support Android apps via an emulator but also add contacts, calendar and email apps.
Anyway, Android apps will have to be converted to a PlayBook compatible format (.bar) to be eligible, but that's easy. Here's the tweet that announces the promotion, with a link with all what's needed to port an Android app to the PlayBook.
Shh…. Android Devs – submit your Android app to BB AppWorld by Feb 13 and get a free Playbook –> tools here: bit.ly/w758Ci
— Alec Saunders (@asaunders) February 2, 2012
It's not yet clear how many PlayBooks will be handed out, so you'd better hurry. Anyway, after you submit your app, send an email to email@example.com to claim your tablet.

Backblaze adds free Locate My Computer service to backups
Backblaze is adding a new feature to its US$5/month online backup service that adds another level of protection to your Mac or PC -- locating the computer in case of loss or theft.
This morning at 6 AM PDT, Backblaze launched Locate My Computer, a free addition to the company's backup service that determines the location of your computer, displays the location on a map, provides the name of the internet service provider and the IP address being used by the thief or finder, and shows you any changes that the "new owner" has made to your computer.
Gleb Budman, the co-founder and CEO of Backblaze, said that the company decided to add the Locate My Computer service after several customers used cloud-based backup information to view changes that thieves had made to their machines. One customer was able to see that the thief had taken a Photo Booth portrait of himself and also made a bad video of himself dancing to Tyga's "Make It Rain." The customer, Mark Bao, promptly posted the video of the thief's impromptu dance solo on YouTube and was later able to recover his MacBook Air.
If you're already a Backblaze user, switching on the Locate My Computer service is as simple as logging into your account and then clicking the "Turn On" button on a special Locate My Computer page. It takes up to a few hours for the location to appear, but the ISP and IP address info show up almost immediately, and you can begin your quest to recover your Mac.

The Take Off and Landing of EverythingElbow
When this Wes Borland led band was introduced nobody really knew what it would be like. It was going to be dark and edgy, that's a given. And you had to know it wasn't going to be anything like Limp Bizkit. Wes fit in just fine in Limp Bizkit- he was just the only guy that you could give any kind of credibility to. You also had to know that it was going to have some industrial elements to it because of all of the Nine Inch Nails alumni connected to the project. With Black Light Burns' "Cruel Melody" there are two things that weren't expected; HOW industrial this music is and how good it is. The album is full of industrial tracks; "New Hunger" is a slower/industrial track. "Animal" is one of the better songs on the album and the electronic work in the verse mixed in with the quality instrument work and the song-writing make it work extremely well. "Animal" should be your second single. "4 Walls" is the other "industrial-type" track that sticks out to me. The verse has NIN all over it. The less-industrial tracks are just as good as the heavily-industrial influenced tracks. "Lie" (the first single) is another great track although it's more straight-forward modern rock opposed to industrial. "Mesopatamia" isn't really industrial- there are some underlying moments but it's not robotic enough to be industrial and the elements involved are quirkier rock elements instead of droning elements. The title track- "Cruel Melody" is brilliant. It's hard to pin down what you can compare it to. Think Everlast a little bit, but with some electronic rudiments behind it. Black Light Burns "Lie" exceeded my expectations and it had to have exceeded a lot of others expectations too. Borland will forever be linked to Limp Bizkit because it had a strong run of being the biggest band in the world, but the new album definitely shows that Borland is far from being one-dimensional and is extremely talented. This is more than worth checking out.
