Mass Effect: Legacy - Chapter 11"What do you mean 'the Council won't help'?" James seethed between clenched teeth at the holographic image in front of him. "Damn it, Shepard! This all seems pretty familiar, don't you think?"The holographic projection of Sarah Shepard sighed deeply, straightening out the creases of her uniform. "I know, James. But it's not the same thing, and you know that. This is the Alliance' problem, and we have to solve it ourselves.""I thought the whole god damned point of the Galactic Council was cooperation, common defense..." he grumbled, reining in his frustration as he realized he was spewing it at the wrong target."It is," Shepard continued "but the Verge isn't strictly Alliance territory, or within Citadel space; we can't expect them to come running simply because we've taken it upon ourselves to protect unaffiliated human colonies.""What about Khar'shan?" James asked darkly after a moments pause "Do they have anything to say for themselves?""They're denying all knowledge, and we're
Mass Effect: Legacy - Chapter 10She moved as quickly as the crutch would allow through the large lobby of Anderson Memorial Medical Center, it's metallic frame clicking sharply against the floor as she made her way towards the reception desk at the end of the large hall. Shia was apprehensive, she never liked hospitals and this one was no exception. The pungent smell of antiseptic filling her nose, the sighs and groans of people in pain and the constant low murmur of the medical staff all made her weary, and she feared that it would get even worse once she entered the actual ward. Then there was the purpose of her visit, the image of the Chief laid out on the ground of the grimy alley with a hole in his head was still fresh in her mind, and she wasn't much looking forward to reliving the experience.Jani seemed much more at ease, moving gracefully by Shias side as the two young women navigated through the mostly uniformed crowd, her head bobbing from side to side as she struggled to take in everything that was happen
I Will Protect You (Skylox) The cave was dark. The night outside was cold. The thunder outside echoed deafeningly against the cave walls even though there was no end to the labyrinth of a cave system in sight. As I walked through the cave, I couldn't help but wish that Dan could have joined me on my expedition for some gold - butter - ore. Cave knew the caves better than anyone. His name had a meaning, after all. I was almost certain I was close to the surface as I heard raindrops pounding above me. I couldn't help but smile as I quickened my pace, holding my torch up high. Then a terrifyingly familiar scream split the air and I stopped dead in my tracks, my blood running cold. My eyes widened and I spun around to look into the darkness of the cave behind me. "Adam." I whispered. I broke into a run back into the cave. "Adam!" I shouted, calling out to him. He didn't respond. I ran faster. Wherever he was, he was in trouble. I had to
Qwuedeviv Crew 52: Mr. Smith is an Ideal Athlete "Kitty? Here kitty, kitty." My ears perked up but I was still face down on the pillow in my favorite cardboard box. "Kitty." I heard again. I grumbled and pushed myself up partially. Cedric hadn't quite picked up on the fact I wasn't exactly the same as their Earth cats. Oh well, another day. I crawled out of my bed. Command Center and such didn't seem fully coherent yet so I had to rely on my own knowledge. I navigated through the door and blinked a few times to get my Visual Scanners working—eyes that is. Or well that is the closest thing I can relate my high tech properties to. A doctor would call them the same exact thing but how boring is that? "Right here." I commented and waited to hear him again. "Oh, there you are." He appeared from behind and picked me up before I could protest. "How you feeling today, Kitty?" "It's Smile
Qwuedeviv Crew 52: It's Just Like in the Movies! I was awake bright and early—I think noonish or so. I had already started the day out right by munching on a bowl of sugared flakes of Earthian meal and had every intention of going outside to frolic in the yard. The land serpent was out of commission after I had cut it open with the scissors the other day. Oh yeah, some time had gone by since the previous log but nothing had been particularly noteworthy. In fact, despite how intense and life changing the events that day should have been, life had gone completely back to normal. Mr. Smith had never hunted me down; Cedric hadn't even asked me more about my resources and knowing such coded military language. No, he had more important things to rant about apparently. Things like telling me to clean up after myself. Wash the dishes. Use the lint brush on the chair if you're going to insist on sitting on it. Wash your clothes every once in a while. Don't stand on the table. Wash your paws, brush you
Qwuedeviv Crew 52: Chapter Eleven Across the parking lot and back towards the forest that I had pranced through earlier I charged onward in an all-out sprint. I probably didn't look like anything more than a bluish gray blur. Mr. Smith was chasing me and calling out to me. I couldn't really understand what he was saying but I also didn't want to. I slipped on some of the needly leaves from a tree and went tumbling head over heels for some unknown length of time. Felt like an eternity. When I had finally stopped my helpless roll I caught sight of Mr. Smith—upside down. Or well, I was actually upside down, but whatever. He had stopped at the edge of the Earthian parking lot. I guess Earthian Instructors couldn't travel on the dirt like I could. Lucky break. I didn't want to take any chances of him following after me though so I broke out into a full on sprint clear back to Cedric's yard. Everything on my journey back flew by in one giant smear. If I ran pa
Qwuedeviv Crew 52: Chapter Nine Getting the 'cactus needles' out was not a fun process. We had worked on the easier ones earlier; the ones in my paws and such. I wasn't about to trust the Human to deal with the others though. No one touched my tail, and Hindquarters was a sensitive region. "But they'll get infected." Cedric insisted again. "And sore. Then we'll have to take you to a vet or wherever you take an alien cat and get you treated or something." "Don't care." "Not to mention you won't be able to sit." "I've always preferred standing." He huffed and tried to grab one stuck in my tail fur anyway. I got out of the way and hissed. "Oh come on." "No!" He crossed his arms and stood there rigidly, tapping a foot. "Well obviously you just want to hurt then, is that what it is? You want to have to go to the v
SWtCW: The Home Guard pt.4Surface of Achilleas, PalladiaBarriss watched the man in front of her. She could sense his emotions, they were a swirl of turmoil. He was uncertain of what must be done. In his shoes, Barriss would harbor no doubts. Her objective would be clear. Take her enemies prisoner and facilitate the rest of the battle. Yet this man, Conradin Hadranus, was uncertain of this simple fact of the war they were fighting. He stood on the brink of eliminating a major command of the GAR and could not make the final step now that he had seen the face of his enemy. His doubts were...charming, if naïve and he was about to make the wrong decision, she could already tell."I...I don't accept." he said with a shake of his head. "I don't want your surrender. I just want your army to withdraw from Achilleas and her space."Barriss smiled at him gently as if he were a child. "You don't understand, that is no longer an option. Your forces already matched ours, with the arrival o
War and Wings: Chapter 15--Prelude to Orsis Part 2Continued from Part One------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ratchet looked up and was grateful to see Optimus Prime looking down at the colorful bundle with an inquisitive smile.Optimus was not the biggest 'Bot on Cybertron, but he easily rivaled Megatron in height, standing head and shoulders above Ratchet. This meant that Io was just shy of his waist. But, while Megatron exuded guile and cold calculation, inspiring fear, Optimus radiated honesty and wisdom, putting the small flyer at ease though he towered above her. Ratchet could feel her calm in his spark, and he too felt the comforting reassurance of the large 'Bot's presence. Even the general design of his frame was calming. Unlike Megatron, whose body was built for labor turned war machine, the slenderness of his design reminded everyone that he had been created for peace--functionally a data clerk--whose modifications were merely the result of the necessities of war.Ever
SWtCW: The Home Guard pt. 3Surface of Achilleas, PalladiaBarriss stood amongst a sea of armored durasteel and rubble as they fought in the shadows of the Juggernauts and tanks. The Separatist forces used their own tanks and droids to box them in, but the turreted weapons on the HAVs kept them at bay as Barriss advanced with her infantry deeper into the city. She'd managed to reestablish communications with Master Luminara, apparently the other assaults were proceeding with mixed results. The Achilleans were fighting tooth and nail for their homeworld and Barriss' men, despite being some of the best soldiers in the Republic were getting their teeth kicked in though they were making the Separatist forces pay for it. They weren't going to dislodge her forces from their position anytime soon.Conradin swore as his tank's turret swiveled and blasted the rampaging fighter tank as it shot by. The Republic LAV took the hit and flipped over and slammed into a building as its repulsor vane snapped off from the AAT's shot
War and Wings: Chapter 15--Prelude to Orsis Part 1Moving quickly, not wanting to make Prowl and Optimus wait any longer, Ratchet and Io left the daunting visage of the Grand Oratory behind them, crossing the Promenade and slipping between a series of closely nested buildings toward a combination of roadway and pedestrian ramp, one of the more direct routes between the Grand Oratory and the Hall of Records.Their trodfalls echoed as they attempted to make time, the tinny taps of Io's heel-turbines submerged into the boom-flaps of Ratchet's metal-and-rubber support struts, legs stretched out in front of them, their pace a little short of a sprint.Ratchet considered Io out of the corner of his optic. She wasn't looking up at him, though the old medic was quick to notice that her lips were set into an exuberant smile.He allowed his own features the freedom to replicate the expression.As far as he was concerned, life couldn't get any better than this. Having Io name him as her partner, running beside her down the streets of
Mass Effect: Legacy - Chapter 3Shia gestured for her team to spread out in the small clearing as the shuttle quickly made its way back towards the staging area. She took in the scene, meticulous and thorough as her eyes wandered over bushes, the high grasses and the large ferns that spread like a thick blanket over the jungle floor. The air became quiet and peaceful as the sound of the shuttles engines died down in the distance, only the light breeze and the soft chirping of insects breaking the silence. The team slowly went over the perimeter, and one by one they gave her the sign of all clear. Satisfied, she called them over to her and brought up her omni-tool."Ok, let's do a rundown" she said softly, a few quick commands on the amber device bringing up a small map "Tower should be roughly 2 kilometers south of our position. We'll move single file, I take point and Dave, you shore up the rear. Mia, you cover the left flank. Aaki, you take the right." They all nodded in agreement."Great" David said, coking his he

Seriously, #DrunkRob looks like SO much fun!! I love it when he can just chill with his friends and relax and feel like a normal person.
I like Rob, if he is like a normal guy in a bar has a few beers. He's not in SUPER - IN CLUBS and drank champagne. This is Rob. I love him for that.
Rob cracks me up in these pictures! Has anyone noticed that when he's had a few beers, his eyes start to point in different directions?!
Rob, please come over to my place and I'll take you round the pubs in Nottingham!
@HeartRob ITA i love him for that too
@CaroleUK ajajajajajaja you're fucgking right, but i can't blame him, when i'm drunk i can't focus too!!!!
Rob, come to Valencia you love Spain!!! we have such a good weather and people stay at bars till 9 pm from monday yo friday and till 4 am on weekends!! By my own experience, i think pubs in UK and Usa close at 2 - 3 am aprox (am i wrong?) but here we can stay till 7, 8 am!! come rob!

I think he can have a great time without being drunk. I'm always glad when he has some fun and freetime, but frankly, I hate when his eyes don't seem to focus. Before you all jump on me, I love him. I really do. You know that. But, I don't support his drinking as much as he does age 23/24 or not.
What I wanna know is where does he find these shat hole clubs to hang out in? lol.....they always look so seedy!
OMG - the second one...........soooooooo drunk there. But damn he's still so cute.
@ShariG, you might not see this unless you get email notices, because thread dead, but ITA with you. No one around here seems to know anything about what over drinking to have a good time can mean. Kind of surprised, cause alcoholism is no laughing matter.

LG G Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition is a slightly larger, slightly better Nexus 7 December 10, 2013 at 4:23 pm
Google has been rapidly expanding the selection of Android devices it sells in the Play Store this year, and one of the recent additions might seem odd at first glance. The Google Play Edition LG G Pad 8.3 is only a little larger than the 2013 Nexus 7, but it starts at $350. However it fills a niche, and Google is all about niches these days.

Doom, the original and best first-person shooter, is 20 years old today December 10, 2013 at 12:58 pm
20 years ago today, at the stroke of midnight on December 10, 1993, Id Software uploaded a two-megabyte file that would change the history of gaming forever: doom1_0.zip. Doom, which was released as shareware, quickly spread across FTP servers and bulletin board systems, becoming the first PC gaming phenomenon and popularizing the FPS genre, and pioneering 3D game worlds and networked multiplayer.
Xbox One's 500GB hard drive makes only 362GB available to users December 10, 2013 at 12:06 pm
Gamers hoping to upgrade to an all-digital lifestyle were met with disappointment when the Xbox One and PS4 were revealed to only have a hard drive storage capacity of 500GB. Soon after release, the PS4 was revealed to reserve 92GB of that space, making the effective available space of the HDD 408GB. The Xbox One hides how much HDD space is made available, but has now been revealed as 362GB, sequestering a total of 138GB from the user.
Firefox 26 released, brings click to play plug-ins and reduced memory usage December 10, 2013 at 12:00 pm
The latest version of Firefox, Firefox 26, is now officially available to download. This is one of the most significant releases in recent history, introducing built-in "click to play" functionality for all plug-ins (except for Flash). Firefox 26 also represents the dramatic culmination of Mozilla's MemShrink project, which has spent the last two and a half years trying to battle Firefox's reputation for being a memory hog. Firefox 26 has a very svelte memory footprint indeed.
The Start menu will return in new Desktop-optimized version of Windows 8.2 December 10, 2013 at 11:20 am
With Windows 8.1 out of the way, Microsoft has now begun work on Windows 8.2. According to sources close to the development Windows 8.2, dubbed Threshold, Microsoft will bring Windows, Windows Phone and Xbox One closer together — to the threshold, if you will, of being a fully unified OS. Furthermore, again according to insider sources, Windows 8.2 will introduce a "traditional desktop" SKU that is optimized for mouse-and-keyboard Desktop users and resurrects the original Start menu.

The most beautiful snowflake photos you'll ever see, captured with a cheap DIY camera December 9, 2013 at 5:09 pm
All of the snowflake photos on this page, believe it or not, were captured using a six-year-old point-and-shoot Canon camera and a standard 58mm SLR lens that was produced in the USSR sometime between 1958 and 1992. Such photography ought to be impossible without a microscope or other expensive gear, but it just perfectly illustrates the photographic and aesthetic ingenuity of Alexey Kljatov, a Russian photographer who lives in Moscow.
Xbox One consoles bricked by backwards compatibility prank December 9, 2013 at 4:08 pm
We haven't had backwards compatibility in our game consoles for very long — around just two generations. The desirability of the feature is so widespread, though, that people are willing to follow questionable instructions on the internet to "unlock" the capability on their Xbox Ones. Believing that the feature is intentionally hidden away not only shows just how much we want it to be true, but just how much Microsoft has damaged its reputation with its audience.

For everyone saying you feel like Em won't be at weekend 2 - what makes you think it's weekend 1 he'll be at?
so. can i trade them an Eminem, 50 cent, and Rihanna for a Daft Punk or Underworld?
This has been confirmed for almost a month so it doesn't make sense to only do one weekend. That'll be such bullshit. Besides it makes sense to have Marshall Mathers, Warren G, Wiz, Daz and more company on 4:20 since the last album was titled the Chronic 2001 by Dre and Snoop being the Godfather of chronic...makes sense for them to be at both.
except 4:20 is on friday and theyre playing on sunday... 4/22.
Would make sense for them to stay that weekend is what I meant though.
Would make sense to end the festival with a bigger bang no? That's just how I see it. Again this was posted on Warren G's official website since March 18th. I'm pretty sure it'll make sense it'll be for both. Especially now that the cat is out of the bag. If Golden Voice doesn't want backlash from the General Public who bought tickets for the 2nd weekend either...I'm just sayin'...

A crippled hospital, an orphaned young girl, and two heroic doctors provide the axis for a powerful story set in the war weary Russian province of Chechnya during a decade of tension that begins in 1994. "A Constellation of Vital Phenomena" allows the profound despair saturating the intersecting lives of inhabitants in a small Chechen village to come alive one character, one page at a time. Author Anthony Marra also weaves a spellbinding, historical narrative to accompany his story of loss, betrayal, love, and hope.
In 1923 two sisters set off on a mission to Kashgar, located on the Silk Road, though they speak little or none of the languages in the region. Lizzie is on fire with religious conviction instilled by Millicent, who is in charge of the mission. Evangeline is not convinced of the value of their work, but is coming along to protect her sister as well as to travel and experience the world, riding her green bicycle for hundreds of miles as they travel through deathly heat in the desert, and extreme cold in the passes of the Celestial Mountains.
The first book of the Infinity Ring
Susannah Delaney's life is unraveling. Her son Quinn, a quiet, cerebral child is being severely bullied at school and her high-spirited, 14 year-old daughter Katie is spiraling out of control. Susannah makes the drastic decision to move her family thousands of miles away from home to an isolated island off the coast of Washington, where there is no electricity, only a one-room school and any resemblance of a store is an hour boat ride to the mainland. Life on the island is anything but easy and Susannah must also deal with Katie's hostile attitude towards her.
Loved this book! A BBC British comedy in print. The main character is drawn to perfection; Constance Harding is a totally clueless but well meaning, well-bred, English lady. Her home is "a comfortable five-bedroom Georgian house located on the outskirts of a pleasant village in Surrey." She defines herself as wife to Jeffrey, mother to Rupert (a 25 year old IT consultant) and Sophie (a slightly directionless adolescent); she dotes on her Eclectus parrot Darcy. This book is a year in her life, told through her blog entries.
In A Very Babymouse Christmas, the latest in the graphic novel series by Jennifer L.
This book was sitting on my shelf at home for quite a while after I picked it up at a book sale somewhere. I quite literally had to dust it off in order to read it! I am sorry I didn't pick it up sooner because I really enjoyed it. Amy and Isabelle are a teen daughter and her single mother living in a small town in rural Maine in the 1960s. As typical mother-daughter relationships go at this age, the two cannot relate to one another at all.
In the fifth book of their adventures, Annie discovers that birds are building a nest on her porch. Every day, Annie and Henry check on the nest to see who lives there. They discover a robin and five eggs residing in the nest! What will happen as Annie continues to check the nest?
"HEY! I'm a chicken. Yes, it's true. Tell me! Tell me! What are you?"
And so begins Are you a Cow? by Sandra Boynton, a fun call and response board book for the very youngest toddlers to enjoy. Children will love answering the silly questions posed by the silly chicken with one of their favorite words (no). And the book ends with the best message of all, that you are you. This book deservedly received a starred review from Kirkus Reviews, and receives high praise from this librarian. For ages 1-3.
Around the Neighborhood: a Counting Lullaby is an adaptation of "Over in the Meadow", the classic folk song that was first written down in 1870. A mother and her baby baby set off for a walk around the neighborhood, and see numerous animals that a child might normally see in their neighborhood, such as cats, crows, bees, or ladybugs. The illustrations were produced digitally, and are easy to recognize, with bright colors galore.
This summer the latest and most-likely last (hopefully not!) installment of the Artemis Fowl series, by Eoin Colfer (pronounced Owen), was released. The 8 books follow Artemis' adventures with the Fairy world: dwarves, trolls, goblins, centaurs, pixies, and more; they all live under the earth's surface but pop up every now and then. Artemis is a young, criminal mastermind, determined to steal Fairy gold to fund the search for his missing father and to refill the family fortune's rapidly emptying coffers.
Bad Glass has a great premise, especially if you are a fan of "what if" science fiction. The science here is physics, or perhaps metaphysics. We never find out. But weird things are happening in Spokane, WA. The military has separated the phenomena into 4 categories: things that appear that should not be there, things that disappear that should be there, voices/noises that have no apparent origin and "all else". Most fall into the "all else" category; especially the human body parts that meld into inanimate materials, or that become part of other bodies.
Volume 1 of Bakuman introduces Moritaka Mashiro, an 8th grade student with decent grades and a habit of drawing in his notebooks during class. His drawing talent is noticed by Akito Takagi, fellow and best student in Mashiro's class. Takagi attempts to persuade Mashiro to join him in creating manga--he'll write and Mashiro can draw. Takagi's a skilled operator and manages to get Mashiro's crush, a classmate named Miho, involved, climaxing with a humorous scene in which Mashiro ultimately agrees to Takagi's plan.
While not a ghost or Halloween story, Ballywhinney Girl is nevertheless haunting. Maeve, a fair-haired Irish girl living in Ballywhinney Ireland, is in a bog with her grandfather as he cuts turf.
An airplane full of teen beauty queens, on their way to the Miss Teen Dream pageant (sponsored by The Corporation), crash lands on a remote tropical island. Many of them, of course, do not survive, but never fear...Miss Texas, Taylor Rene Krystal Hawkins (don't you love it?), is there to assume the leadership role! She promptly divides the girls into two groups. The Lost Girls trek into the jungle to check out their new surroundings, while the Sparkle Ponies stay on the beach and salvage what they can from the wrecked plane.
Our memories are what make us who we are. Imagine waking up in the morning and having absolutely no memory of your life. Now imagine doing that every day, for years. This is the situation for Christine, who has a rare form of amnesia. Each day is a blank slate. A first novel from British author S. J. Watson, I found this to be an exciting and haunting story. There are a few terms that give it a British flavor, but it could easily take place anywhere. The main character is someone you care about from page one, as she shares her life, one day at a time.
A very engaging and scary fantasy mystery that takes the heroine on a whirlwind trip into another world called Scotopia. If you liked Coraline or Alice in Wonderland you will certainly enjoy this fantasy.
Every single one of this author's books has made me cry! Sparks continues his normal style of getting to a place in your life where either you must make a big decision, or you have one forced upon you. The consequences are never quite what you expect. He makes you examine your choice, and makes you think about how your life, or someone else's, would be if circumstances were different. If only you didn't have to choose. If only you could go back and change a choice. If only you could have it both ways. This particular story brings Amanda and Dawson together after many years.

Tali, Nya's sister, and the other takers are hiding in Geveg from the evil invading Duke of Baser. He is hunting for Nya and the taker
I came to become a fan of Ivan Coyote through seeing videos of her telling stories. My interest in reading her first novel, Bow Grip, comes from feeling connected to her as a person through her stories. You can have this same experience easily as she's got quite a few videos embedded on her site at: http://www.ivanecoyote.com/videos
Tana French is a master of tension and mystery. Her latest novel, Broken Harbor, tells the story of Mick "Scorcher" Kennedy, one of Dublin's top murder detectives, as he attempts to solve the murder of a young family in a largely abandoned new housing development. Only the mother has survived, and she is in the hospital in critical condition. Although Brianstown, the location of the murders, is the site of a major trauma from Kennedy's youth, he feels like the case will be a simple solve that will make him untouchable on the murder squad.
This is a read I would highly recommend to both boys & girls. Tennyson & Bronte are teenage twins whose parents happen to be literature professors. Tennyson is not pleased that his sister has recently started dating Brewster (aka Bruiser), the boy voted "most likely to get the death penalty." Bruiser lives with his mean, alcoholic uncle and his 8 year old brother, Cody. The family is perceived as "no good" and pretty much keeps to themselves.
Every so often, I'll try a manga. As the young adult librarian, I feel like that's something I should do. I'll hear from teen patrons that they love a title more than life itself and give it a try. Then, often, I'll miss whatever it was that made the manga so great--it's okay, I'm at a different place in life than the teens I work with, but I'd prefer to relate to them through shared love of a story.
I found this book on a table near the new book shelves at the library. I picked it up in order to put it back on the shelf, but the cover caught my eye. I peeked inside, and before I knew it, I was off on an adventure complete with danger, magic, aliens, robots, monsters, mutants, battles, humor, and a tiny bit of romance (but not too much).
In this novel Dan Simmons portrays psychic vampires in a horror genre, which he uses to illuminate real evil in this world. I read this book in 1989 when it was first published and it has stayed with me.

Newbery award winner Avi (2003 for Crispin: The Cross of Lead) creates a captivating adventure set in his hometown of New York City in 1893. Life is a hardscrabble existence for Maks and his immigrant family: poverty, illness, threats of gangs, shortage of food, filthy living conditions, and dependence on an unfamiliar society. Thirteen-year-old Maks sells newspapers to earn a few pennies a day which sets him up as a target of the Plug Ugly Gang.
Claire DeWitt is not your average private investigator. She has a brilliant mind and great detective skills but Claire also uses dreams, drugs and Détection—a detective manual written by mysterious French detective Jacques Silette—to find answers in her investigations. She has returned to New Orleans—a thing she has avoided since the murder of her mentor--to investigate the disappearance of prosecuter Vic Willing, known for his skill in winning convictions for homicides.
The story is a typical who-done-it mystery. The story begins with 13 year-old, Oz Keiller opening the refrigerator door at his family's restaurant and discovering the body of Aaron Sneider, a journalist. He discovers that Sneider was a reporter who had accused his deceased father of being a spy and a traitor. His father was accused of stealing nuclear secrets from the company he had worked for. If this isn't bad enough his older brother is arrested for the murder and Oz jumps into action to save him.

Ireland missing a World Cup of opportunity

Spin FM in Dublin ran a radio poll on Tuesday dealing with effects of jealousy in a long term relationship.
The girl whose call prompted the feature was afraid to even look at the postman delivering the mail, such was the possessiveness of her partner.
I didn't stay around long enough to hear the final advice offered to the girl. Sport was calling as usual and I didn't have time for jealousy. Or so I thought.
Within an hour of turning the radio off, however, I was as sick as a parrot and raging with jealousy, and not for the first time in the past week.
My ire was stoked by Sky Sports on the large television screen that sits in the corner of our "good" room as we used to call it when I was growing up a long, long time ago.
The TV is big and bold but, a bit like myself, it's out of date in this trendy and modern world of LCD and high definition and 3D but, importantly, it does the job.
When the government decide to bail out those bankers in Anglo Irish, as they did again on Monday, I can watch the news break in glorious color. And I can get annoyed.
Annoyance, though, wasn't the sentiment on Tuesday afternoon. Appropriately enough, considering my Spin FM experience minutes earlier, it was more a jealousy thing that got me going at a time when you were just digesting your breakfast in downtown Manhattan.
This side of the pond the big sports story of the day concerned the announcement of the England squad for the World Cup finals and the identities of those players who will have three lions on their shirts this summer.
Like us, the English now have an Italian in charge of their national team, and like us they have a world-wise man at the helm in the shape of Fabio Capello.
Again, like our own Giovanni Trapattoni, Capello doesn't suffer fools gladly and is not afraid of the big decision which is a good thing judging by events on Tuesday afternoon.
As he finalized his 23-man squad ahead of their intriguing opening fixture against the U.S. on Saturday, June 12, Capello had to ring the likes of Theo Walcott, Scott Parker and Darren Bent and tell them they won't be on the plane to Johannesburg.
Parker and Bent probably expected as much, having been fairly much on the periphery of all things England over the qualifying campaign.
Walcott's demotion, however, four years after Sven Goran Eriksson surprised the world by bringing him to Germany, was a major surprise.
He was expected to be one of England's super subs in South Africa, not guaranteed a starting place but good enough to come off the bench and make an impact against America, Slovenia and Algeria.
Naturally we heard nothing but Walcott theories all Tuesday afternoon as the sun came out again and the television prattled away in the corner.
And that's when the jealousy really hit home. Having spent most of last week wondering how Paraguay and Algeria are going to the World Cup and we're not, it really hit home how much we will miss out on this summer.
They keep telling us to forget about Thierry Henry's handball and move on -- Trap and Robbie Keane said as much again last week -- but that is proving difficult.
The only thing we can do now is pray that the promise shown against Paraguay and Algeria at the RDS can turn into real hope come the start of the European Championships in Armenia next September.
In the meantime we will just have to bite our lips and shout for America when they face the English and their Three Lions in Rustenburg some 10 days from now. That's the easy bit.

I think your annoyance shuda been a nuance; for all your knowledge about the *hic* World Cup and France's Heerrairy Onanyway's ignoble way of denying our nashinal team's presence in the un-breathable breathless highlands of Sth Africa, you seem to lack a shertain knowledge...

Getting what I deserve.
In Wednesday's post I mentioned that if someone fell down at work the posts would be better. No one fell down but as you can see I did injure my eye. I'm retracting my statement about the posts being better. Its tough to type with this eye patch, plus my eye still hurts 12 hours after the initial injury. Hopefully a good night of sleep will make the pain go away. I was cutting a piece of nidacore on the table saw and a chunk of resin was launched into my eye. Subconsciously I allowed myself to get hurt so I would have something to write about. If I had more stuff to write about then I probably would have dodged the projectile.
I stomped around for a minute then went back to work building fly bridge bench tops, wearing my safety glasses for the rest of the day. Should have stayed home today and read "Where's elmo's blanket?" to the kid.
When I wasn't trying to destroy my vision I was working on the 38' Northern Bay. The benches on the fly bridge got a hatch decision from the owner this morning. Guttered hatches utilizing a three sided gutter draining to the inboard side are what the owner wants. I tried to convince him to put in plastic hatches but at Clark Island Boat Works the customer is always right. The tops were already made so I was able to jump right in to the project.
The tops are nidacore and after the hatches were cut-out all the raw edges had to be banded with spruce/pine so they could be rounded and fiberglassed. Dan and I discussed how to attack the gutter and we decided to either have John make an aluminum gutter or get some structural fiberglass tube and modify it into a usable gutter. This is tough to visualize, I'll take a photo of the hatches in the morning and add them to this post.
We were going to perform a stress test on the arch but not enough people showed up for work. I was working above the arch all day and I think that the amount of deflection is acceptable. If the crew can brave the snow on Monday we'll do the test then. In other shop news: John finished the ramp brackets, Dan cleaned up the mess we made when we tore the deck out of the 36' Calvin, Dan Jr. glassed the hatch covers that I made and gelled the benches in the wheelhouse. Slow day at the shop but we did make a little progress.
The website might have lead to a possible boat sale!!! A guy in Maryland wants a skiff. I would be more excited if he was ordering a 42' pleasure boat but still its cool that my efforts might turn into actual business. This post is done. Staring at the screen is causing me eye pain. Thanks for your concern I'll be more careful from now on. 13 posts to go.

All right big story this morning bombshell developments in the case for the for holding US attorney general Eric Holder in contempt of congress.
Congressman -- I sat by -- new papers to congress on the fast and furious investigation.
We gave you -- sneak peek at the top of the hour of all of this and now congressman I think himself joins us here so yeah she's Paris nice to welcome to to -- in the city -- To be in the studio and particularly on something that's gone so long that the American people are not getting answers they deserve on.
Actually a little bit about what's in this contempt filings and how much support you have -- on your committee.
And in a larger com.
But the American people have been supporting this is an issue that won't go away totally get answers that -- family obviously has been supportive.
Because they they couldn't get so much is an apology much less an answer.
In in more than a year.
Our leadership has been supportive of our investigation all along the way even Eric Holder when he came before the committee set are hearing was fair and promised to to get us -- answers that haven't happened.
The documents that that we send out to our committee members today.
Seventeen pages laying out sort of I don't think dumb down but an abbreviated understanding of how we got to where we are -- what is -- answered.
And then.
You know in total over sixty pages.
Because it takes about 48 pages to lay out.
All the things that are subject to contempt if we cannot get compliance and discovery on behalf of the American people.
You know you've been talking to us about this -- to a lot of people about this over the the months and we -- -- been in on this story since the very beginning.
It feels like you have the basis for this contempt charge for quite some time he talked about documents that you didn't -- How long you've been waiting for them -- why not move forward more quickly.
We have to be reluctant when you're working that the administration to say we've come to the end.
We've gotten to that point where it's clear they're not gonna give some documents that they've they've sort of closed up and covered up.
The people they now want to protect him you know -- ultimately when US attorney Burke left.
It was pretty obvious that he was injured in integrated into this -- and discreetly predictable way.
But as we look up the chain and we realize the people at least in Eric holder's offices.
-- were informed and involved.
And yet we can't get the kind of discovery and and Martha one of the other ones and this is laid out in all these pages that -- online and available to the public now.
After February 4 when we were lied to both in writing and eventually in live testimony by the Justice Department.
Ten months went by before they admitted that they had lied to congress they won't give us any documents related to that cover up that statement.
How I want to touch about the timing about it in -- -- but but the first of all there's been some.
You know speculation I guess about whether or not John Boehner is on board with this plan whether or not he wants to see this content I'll go forward.
Desi -- the onboard.
Martha I don't wanna see the contempt filings John Boehner doesn't wanna see it -- Canada's wanna see it we want to have the American people get the answers.
One of the reasons that I sent this out to my committee members and that I wanted to be public.
Is we want.
Compliance on behalf of the American people -- -- discovery and accountability.
-- case -- -- -- say we were ten months late American people boasts awesome reaction a few weeks ago.
In this case it's an older situation in and the public -- for a long time.
We're running out of patience but we're not beyond the point of saying if he'll tell us give us what we should have.
As the American people should have likely that -- -- -- if they don't then I have the support of leadership to do what we have to do what we're not doing it because we want to we're doing it because I -- Has a role.
And we're just getting some information that the DOJ has come forward with some kind of response to this and and bill has that in front of him -- -- picture reactions that.
Taking this from Washington.
From the Department of Justice.
It says the department continues to comply with committee information requests would -- that attorney general is justified.
No less than seven times the last year and a half.
I keep in mind to it writes the type of information not released is the type that departments historically do not release.
Because it argues it would politicize and or jeopardize ongoing criminal investigations.
And prosecution some of that we have heard before.
Congressman I say how do you react to that.
Well bill we laid it out so that anyone can understand the areas of noncompliance.
Do not particularly include any ongoing criminal investigations.
What we've laid out for example if you -- to congress and then you cover up the life that's not supposed to be covered hasn't been covered can't be covered.
-- asked -- -- question now in terms of timing it seems like to some extent both sides are very aware that there's a presidential election coming up it.
Eric Holder has said -- nobody would be fired passengers until the investigation that they were doing was thorough and complete and finished and that will not happen until after the November election.
What is your timing -- you know how is there any political hope on your side to influence the possible.
Release of Eric Holder from his duties.
Anywhere near the time of November in election.
-- met with the new inspector general for.
Treasury -- for -- justice and he promised me swift action even though his predecessor has stalled for about a year before she left.
If Eric Holder is telling us that they're not going to have answers to -- after the election that would be like Nixon saying released the tapes in fifty years.
Ultimately this the time has come and passed for them to tell us how we were misled.
Understanding -- you have said that you won't file these eight that you're sort of giving them one more chance what's your what's your drop dead date for the documents that you -- well.
If that if the attorney general's answer we've given you all we're going to give you -- the drop -- date is -- media.
If there's any real compliance.
Than we would look forward to continuing to evaluate that material.
But understand people including Lanny -- in this office of the attorney general.
Clearly knew a lot.
Were involved and we can't get answers and particularly when it comes to the false statement made before congress and then.
Not to not not taken back for ten months we want to know who knew about it and continued to look to have a -- before congress exists for ten months because the American people were told there was no gun walking for those ten month.
Understand Carson as a thank you very much meanwhile you obviously I'll be found this very closely policies and sent -- --

Call of Duty player screams 'Help!'; police arrive
Gamers are emotional.
They live in the moment. And sometimes they die in the moment -- which leads to self-expression, occasionally involving shouts, screams, and the rending of garments.
One Call of Duty player in Sweden though, may not have been prepared for the result of his pained outburst.
Kotaku directs me toward the reporting of Sweden's the Local, which describes how a group of teens were playing Call Of Duty and quite naturally became vocal.
You know how it is with Call Of Duty. Sometimes, you die. In this particular case, after an especially galling death, one of … Read more

Creating Basic Macros in OpenOffice
The OpenOffice productivity suite can use a variety of scripts and macros to automate recurring tasks. The easiest approach is to use the integrated Basic dialect. This article helps you get started with this surprisingly sophisticated programming language.
If you find yourself repeating complex, multi-step tasks in OpenOffice [1], it may be time to create a macro. OpenOffice supports a variety of programming options. Version 1.1 introduced the concept of bridges, which allow users to add their own C, C++, Java, or Python programs. In version 2.0, which is due for release any time now, the basic OpenOffice package will also support the Common Language Interface (CLI), which allows users to add their own Javascript and C# programs. Of all the languages used with OpenOffice, Basic is perhaps the easiest option. This article describes how to get started with creating macros in Basic. Getting Started Basic programming starts in the Tools | Macros menu, which has two entries: Record macro, a macro recorder for interactive use, and Macro..., which opens a new window (Figure 1).

By Jeffry Bartash, MarketWatch
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — New applications for U.S. unemployment benefits fell for the third straight week, but they still haven't fallen to quite the same level that prevailed before the superstorm Sandy smashed into the Northeast in late October.
Initial jobless claims sank by 25,000 to a seasonally adjusted 370,000 in the week ended Dec. 1, the Labor Department said Thursday. Claims from two weeks ago were revised upward to 395,000 from an initial read of 393,000.
• Five takeaways from the jobs report
Why Fed may still hesitate to pull the taper trigger
The Federal Reserve is likely to hold off a taper in December, using the meeting to prepare the markets for a move early next year.
• U.S. gains 203,000 jobs in November
• Third-quarter growth fastest since early 2012
• Corporate profits at new record as share of GDP
Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had forecast claims to fall to 375,000 as the effects of Hurricane Sandy fade.
In premarket trades, the improved claims data helped reduce losses in stock futures.
The claims data came out one day before the government reports how many new U.S. jobs were created in November. On Friday, Labor is expected to that 80,000 net jobs were added last month, down sharply from 171,000 in October, the MarketWatch survey shows.
Economists say Sandy likely was a big drag on the labor market.
Sandy aftermath
Applications for new jobless benefits had briefly soared to an 18-month high of 451,000 in mid-November before reversing course. Thousands of people who lost jobs or were temporarily unable to work because of the storm didn't file claims immediately.
Yet claims have still not fallen all the way back to pre-Sandy levels in the low 360,000s. If it takes much longer to get back to those levels, it might be a sign that hiring in the U.S. has softened again.
Initial jobless claims down

The latest claims figures are "still in very mediocre territory in terms of its implications for job creation, and close to the pre-storm trend," said economist Avery Shenfield of CIBC World Markets.
Making it harder to glean employment trends in the claims data is the holiday season that started after Thanksgiving. Companies hire lots of workers temporarily and let them go after the holidays, but government officials can't always accurately predict how seasonal hiring patterns will affect weekly claims.
A so-called clean reading on claims that gives a good snapshot of labor-market trends might not be available until mid-January, economists say.
Yet even that data could be affected by whether budget talks in Washington to avert the so-called fiscal cliff are successful. The longer the budget impasse continues, the less likely companies are to hire or retain workers.
New claims are a rough gauge of whether layoffs are rising or falling.
The one-month average of claims, typically a more accurate number that smooths out weekly volatility, climbed by 2,250 to 408,000. Yet that average has also been distorted by Sandy and it will take longer for the effects to disappear.
In the week ended Nov. 24, meanwhile, continuing claims fell by 100,000 to a seasonally adjusted 3.21 million. Continuing claims reflect the number of people who already receive regular unemployment benefits.
Most states typically offer 26 weeks of unemployment pay.

Ever felt that seeing only 10 search results on Google wasn't enough?
Did you know you can see up to 100 in one go?
This can be very frustrating especially if you are search for your websites at position 91 in the list.
The secret is a link next to the search box on Google called Preferences.
Click on it and you have a range of options. Look for the number of results section.
Change the setting to 20,30,50 or 100 to see more. While you are there have a look at some of the other options available like safesearch and maybe searching for english only pages.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Eleven years ago today the passengers and crew of united flight 93 turned the tables on the terrorists aboard their aircraft.
Their heroic actions saved countless other innocent Americans and inspire us -- to this day.
Today their loved ones gathered in Pennsylvania to remember the lives that ended far too soon.
An earlier this morning right here -- fox former New York governor George Pataki.
Express concerns that the unity we felt.
In the days after 9/11.
Is gone.
One of the sad things eleven years later is that that sense of unity.
That sense of common identity as Americans is freedom had been attacked.
Is something we don't see now and I think we have to struggle and work to try to re claim that because for whatever superficially seems to divide us.
We lost -- Americans we all share so much we all wish for a better future for every one of us and for this great country.
-- Alice hoagland son Mark Bingham was one of the heroes.
Who took on the hijackers aboard united flight 93 she is with us now Alice welcome back to the program so good to see you.
Thank you very much negative delight to be here you know -- let's pick up -- the governor left off.
Which he's so right -- he.
-- I agree with governor Pataki.
We need to regain that sense of unity and to overlook that minor differences that divide us I'm so sorry that we do assault begin in two.
Into warring factions.
And and if you feel that interest in particular at this time of year in and the political silly season.
Putting aside whether you know your Republican carrier -- Democrat what you believe and first we're all Americans I mean that's what a hot binds us together on this earth.
You are so -- height and we are.
As Americans also.
Members of the larger human family and if we could put aside our differences we could.
Have a worldwide community and that would be just wonderful what an antidote for terrorism what an antidote for war.
It it reminds you know as they are getting -- -- segment we were taken back to what we felt after 9/11 what we -- in this country.
And I want to take you to the steps of the US capitol.
On 9/11 where we saw an extraordinary event unfold in the evening hours a bipartisan showing of love for this country.
And let's watch it for -- -- OK.
-- Yeah.
-- all things.
What does that make you feel I -- how to we -- capture it.
I remember that that was one of the bright spots in a very black day I remember -- well.
And I think we can recapture that spirit by realizing -- we still have a lot of unfinished business realizing.
That there is a lot of work to be done to combat terrorism and eradicate it and you make sure that our airplanes and trains are safe for -- to travel and and to make sure that we understand that we are at wine with those people who.
See that we are the enemy -- as the enemy we are.
America has been the world's.
Best advocate for many generations and if we can reestablish that it will be a wonderful day for America and for the world mayor Giuliani was saying earlier today that he he's worried he's worried that people are forgetting.
As we stand here eleven years after the fact I know you share those concerns in particular when it comes to airline safety.
Yes and I think mayor Giuliani is correct I was afraid last year on the tenth anniversary that that would be the swan song for.
Four devotion to the costs of 9/11 I'm glad to see that we still are our.
Real attentive to the anniversary of that horrible day.
Aviation security for me is a strong point because I have worked for four different airlines I retired.
From United Airlines when I couldn't bear to fly anymore because my son.
Was killed in the cabin and cockpit of -- of the hijacked 757.
And I knew that the airlines had -- not done enough to make sure that my son and all them.
Although thousands of other people.
Who died on 9/11 to make sure that they were safe in the ground and and on the air we still have many things that are not.
Are not good about aviation security we have a flawed no fly list and we have people coming on board.
With what can easily become -- weapons screwdrivers wrenches.
Scissors just a little under four inches long now it's it's scary how much that we have slipped back and and gotten away from the emphasis on security.
The airlines have never.
Never been as security conscious as we should be and that reason our crews are cabin attendants and pilots go without the securities that they deserve.
Alice hoagland.
Behind your son's memory today thank you so much when they -- very much.

20,000 Notre Dame fans set for Dublin in September 2012 ---Incredible reaction from Fighting Irish fans to Navy game in Ireland

South Bend: Notre Dame are expecting an incredible 20,000 Fighting Irish fans to come to Dublin in September next year Notre Dame officials say.
It will be the largest ever 'invasion' by US sports fans of Ireland.
The last time Notre Dame played in Ireland in 1995 only 4,000 or so fans traveled.
The Fighting Irish will play Navy on September 1st at the Aviva stadium in Dublin, in their first game of the 2012 season.
It is billed as the "Emerald Isle Classic."
The buzz around South Bend about the game has already begun.
Dolly Duffy, Executive Director of the Notre Dame alumni confirmed to me that the numbers are expected to break all expectations.
"There has been an incredible reaction to the Dublin game," she told me."We have been overwhelmed by the interest in traveling to Ireland."
Micheal Seamon, Associate Vice President also confirmed the number and stated that the weekend in Dublin is shaping up to be a spectacular occasion.
Some Notre Dame officials believe the final total could be 25,000, an amazing number.
On Saturday $400,000 was pledged from Irish supporters to bring the Fighting Irish marching band to Dublin as part of the celebration.
A massive concert and pep rally will take place at the O2 arena in the Dublin docklands the night before the game.
Top Irish acts have already been signed up.
There will also be a special Notre Dame mass which is expected to pack Dublin's main cathedral to the rafters
The day of the game will be spectacular with the trendy Temple bar area turned into a massive Notre Dame tailgate party.
The marching band will march through Dublin's Grafton Street, the main shopping thoroughfare, and will surely be a sight to behold.
The game is being played the same weekend as the All Ireland hurling final, Ireland's second biggest sporting weekend meaning that Dublin will be chock a block with both Irish and hurling fans.
Notre Dame's Irish campus at O'Connell House in Merrion Square will also feature prominently with a major conference on America and the 1916 Rising set for the week of the game.
All in all it is easy to get excited by the game which Notre Dame is billing as 'The Fighting Irish are coming home."
It will be an incredible bonanza for Ireland in terms of tourism in particular.
I predict there will not be a hotel room to be had from Cork to Dublin.
Roll on September 2012!

@NiallO'Dowd-you have always used your bully pulpit to rattle ivory towers & champion important causes. Anyone remember the peace process,civil rights for ILGO among many others? I've always hoped someone would go after ND for that mascot as native americans did with St Johns with & their insulting mascot.I know this kind of money will be great for Dublin. But be careful,I was at the Emerald Isle in '91 when Fordham played.If the american chancer
who ran that is still involved you can expect overhype about turnout that never appears.I recall Brian Rohan covered the Fordham game for the IV,I'm not sure if he wrote about the poor turnout but I know I talked to him about it.In closing Niall please go back to fighting the good fight you're pretty damn good at it!

The tourism should help boost the economy a little. I usually find hotel rates in Dublin pretty reasonable these days, though i'm rarely in town for a big event.

I work in tourisim here, and believe me when anything major pops up the room rates rise, as does everything else, I have had it out with some of the major hotel chains here, even sept 11 was cause for ripping off people. I hate this biz at times, I love my country, and want to show it at its best but not to the cost of the tourist, I want to bring them where it costs fZZZZ all and show them the real Ireland.

Jeez anto, just sharing my observations about my experiences in Ireland. Your own Eddie Hobbs christened the country 'rip off Ireland', not me. Your new government in a sensible move reduced VAT on transactions involving the hospitality sector but ev en theyrealize that this has not been passed on by many businesses. Every year I read stories of outrageous hotel/guesthouse rates being charged at Galway races, the Rose of Tralee, Cork Jazz Festival etc. Of course the price of alcohol goes up for those events also. Three (Danish I believe) students visiting Dublin stayed at a hostel and ended up being stuck there for 3 additional nights due to the ash cloud only to be told that the nightly rate was now 3 times what it was for their original nights stay. I could provide more examples but you obviously take issue with my pointing out how greedy many Irish people in the hospitality sector are. As for D4 seeing me coming, it was the advertised rate on their website. Ended up staying at The Shelbourne which didn't cost me a cent because I used Marriott Reward points.

@gobshitepaddy- 200 euro's, LOL! They saw you coming. Posters like you who project inner angst and have issues in general with Irish, Americans, Argentinians or mental health issues. Should consider not posting on forums where your words can be interpreted and your character weighed up by intelligent posters.

I do a lot of business in Ireland and was in Dublin at the end of the queen's visit. I believe it was a wednesday night and there was a big soccer game on in the Aviva and a concert in the Point the following evening. Usually when I am in the Ballsbridge area I stay at one of the D4 hotels which are usually reasonably priced. This particular day I checked and if I recall correctly, they were looking for over EUR 200 each night.

I'd be happy to help with any advise any visitors may have and know some hotels that charge the same prices every night and every day of the year regardless. Just stay out of Temple Bar and you'll be fine. Retaurants etc won't just jump up their prices for one day because there's a game with 50,000 people at it. We have these big events with a lot of people from outside Dublin coming in but it would be good if this site could set up a section for people to advise incomers on where best to stay and eat out etc. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com I'd be happy to advise people. One tip is try the Clarion in Clondalkin, there's an airport bus that goes right to it, it's four star with a free leisure centre and is a set price of 59 euro for the room.

I could'nt agree with you more, Tippboy.....there are huge profits to be made here.

Of course this is all about advertising...didn't the Bears just beat the Bucs in London today? Go Bears!

Antoman, look in the mirror before you talk about greed! It wasn't a Yank who coined the phrase "rip-off republic", that would be well known Cork economist, Eddie Hobbs, I believe. The country is n desperate straits, you should be down on your knees to every Yank who chooses to visit and spend his hard earned dollars, putting money into the pockets of your fellow citizens.

Hey Mairin, enough with the xenophobic nonsense, especially when you realize that Irish soccer fans are famous for singing their rebel songs on the streets of every capital in Europe. Believe me when I tell you that publicans, restauranteurs and hoteliers in Dublin couldn't be happier at the prospect of 20,000 ND fans in Dublin. Also, you should know that ND alumni have a huge presence in Wall St and in the higher echelons of business in the NoertthEast and Chicago areas. These are the kind of visitors we need - welcome all ND fans!!,
