You can´t make this stuff up! "Tim Church ...spokesman for the Wash. state Health Department..."Way to do your job, Tim. What could be "healthier" than the filthy devotion to the germ and bacteria rich human rectum. Oh, am I not supposed to use simple accurate language?
Well said, OP
They might as well add a number of lines for multiple partners on the legal certifications
I am amazed at how Americans put up with ´hoop jumping´ for 3% of the population.
Dearly beloved, does this animal take this mineral to be your vegetable for life....
To be replaced with what? Catcher and Pitcher?
Does not the Washington State Legislature make the laws of the state? Did the Health department do this on their own? Washington Citizens want to know how their representative or senator voted (if there was a vote).
This is appropriate if the government controls marriage. Government should not control marriage, at least not the federal government. I oppose same sex marriage on faith, moral, and personal beliefs. Those are personal beliefs they can only govern me. But it is none of the government´s business. For one thing it´s unconstitutional for the feds to be sticking their nose in it. It is not enumerated in the Constitution and therefor is left to us or the states. For the We The People, the public, it is now secular matter, that is if we are to have full freedom of worship or religion. As for my opinion this war was lost long ago. If We The People believed we were a country of the one and only true living God then we should have tightly controlled who was allowed to immigrate into this country. Since we opened the borders long ago to anyone and everyone our country is now divided into secular and private and the government needs to be tightly controlled or else we have government where it does not belong. That of course means people get to do what they want in private matters.
In the movie Woman of the Year there is a lovely home wedding with the words God, sacred, obey, man, woman -- a stunning, gentle scene of traditional marriage. I burst into tears every time I see it.
Massachusetts did this several years ago. Instead of ´man and wife´, the current terminology is ´party A´ and ´party B´.My wife and I once had a mock-serious discussion and wondered, if we were to renew our vows, who would be party ´A´ and who would be party ´B´. Is ´A´ the more butch? Does ´B´ swish more?We decided that each of us wanted to be party ´A´. But alas, even in the people´s republic, you´ve got to be one or the other.
Why not just totally eliminate the institution of marriage. After all, it is a religious ceremony and religion must be removed from our society.
This is discrimination pure and simple.
Well #11 that is the end game of the left.
If you want terms to be universally applicable, just change ´bride´ and ´groom´ to ´things´ and leave room for a list of any length. Multi-couple ´marriage´ will be coming soon on this slippery slope.
They´ll be referred to as tops and bottoms.
How long before they erase "Washington" from the state name?

The Royal Netherlands Army works for peace and security in the Netherlands and abroad. The army is essential in this respect because, ultimately, peace and security are imposed on the ground. The army is a professional, well-trained organisation and therefore it can be deployed quickly and flexibly in the toughest of conditions.
The army can be deployed on its own and jointly with the navy, air force and Marechaussee (military police). The Royal Netherlands Army is deployed both in the Netherlands and abroad for crisis-management operations, humanitarian assistance and combat operations.
The main tasks of the armed forces and thus of the Royal Netherlands Army are:
Both for crisis management operations and for the general defence task of NATO territory, it is important that units can be deployed quickly. Where, when and how many military personnel need to be deployed is difficult to predict. Army personnel therefore receive the broadest possible training and exercises are conducted with all kinds of modern, high-quality equipment. In this way, a "tailor-made" unit can be assembled for any conflict situation.

By Nancy McCleary Staff writer
LUMBERTON - A man wanted for murder in the shotgun slaying of his estranged wife, a Robeson County Sheriff's Office employee, took his own life Tuesday as authorities surrounded the house in Harnett County where he was hiding.
James David Ellinger, 48, of 616 S. Dean St., shot himself inside the house at 259 Royal St. in Fuquay-Varina about 11:40 p.m., the Harnett County Sheriff's Office said.
Lawmen had been looking for Ellinger since Monday night, when Jennifer Espey Ellinger, 42, was shot to death at a home in St. Pauls, Robeson County Sheriff Kenneth Sealey said.
The couple had married a little more than a year ago, Sealey said, but had legally separated about six months ago.
About 9:30 p.m. Monday, the Sheriff's Office received a report of a person who had been shot at a home on the 15000 block of U.S. 301 North between Lumberton and St. Pauls, Sealey said.
When they arrived, deputies found Jennifer Ellinger, who worked in the Records Division at the Sheriff's Office, dead from a gunshot wound.
She had gone to the residence to visit a friend, whom Sealey did not identify.
James Ellinger went to the house, walked inside and apparently confronted his estranged wife and shot her, according to the Sheriff's Office.
"We don't know what happened, but some type of argument started and Jennifer was shot," Sealey said.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
James Ellinger drove away after the shooting, Sealey said.
Jennifer Ellinger's friend was stabbed twice, but managed to drive about three miles to the St. Pauls Police Department to report the crime.
The unidentified friend was treated at Southeastern Regional Medical Center and released, Sealey said.
Warrants for first-degree murder were issued for James Ellinger, Sealey said, and lawmen searched for him through the night, alerting nearby law enforcement agencies.
About 9:45 a.m. Tuesday, the Harnett County Sheriff's Office received a tip that a wanted individual, armed with a shotgun, was at a house in Fuquay-Varina, Maj. Jeff Huber, that agency's spokesman, said.
Authorities learned that it was Ellinger, and the department's Special Response Team was called to the Royal Street house, Huber said.
Team members surrounded the house about 11:10 a.m. and attempted to talk Ellinger into coming outside, Huber said.
Jennifer Ellinger's death has been hard for those working at the Robeson County Sheriff's Office, Sealey said.
"Jennifer worked the front desk for us," he said. "She'd greet the public and was very polite and always had a smile on her face."
Sealey said he has known her father, who retired from the Sheriff's Office in 2009, since the 1970s and watched Jennifer, the mother of three children, grow up.
"It's a sad day," Sealey said. "My prayer goes out to her family and children."

Rob dearest, this has got to stop! What is this, at least the 4th time you've called yourself a pussy in an interview? We spend a great deal of effort around here trying to keep out minds out of the gutter, and then you do this. Not nice, not nice at all.

CL: it's like Goz says about his constant lip biting: even he knows he's delicious! Was ever a more sensual man born?!

£100 to spend - recommendations?
I don't drink whisky I'm afraid, but my dad can't get enough of it. There's a special occasion approaching and I want to buy him a bottle of something 'special' as he tends to usully just drink 'cheap' bottles (not usually more than £15). I know it's difficult as everybody's tastes are different, but I know he does like Aberlour and Jamesons in particular. Maybe something along those lines? Recommendations? I am willing to spend up to £100. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Graham. |
I would look at the Aberlour A'bunadh (The Origin). Great whisky. Probably not what he's sipping on if he's buying 'cheap' bottles, although it really isn't much more $$ than their 10yr or 12yr. It'll taste familiar to him, yet it'll be a step up. Just make sure that's not what he's already drinking, lol.
Beyond that, I would look at maybe a Macallan Cask Strength (perhaps because that's what I'm savouring at this very moment) It's 59.3% Sherried (which most ppl think is a good thing). A good Scotch at a reasonable price again. If you wish to push the upper echelons of your budget you set out, I would gift a bottle of Glenmorangie Signet. To describe the nose and taste... Take a whole dark choclate bar and dissolve it in a bottle of great whisky, and there you go. You wanna stand out on your Dad's bday, then this is the bottle I'd go with (in this price range, but it's a great scotch at any price). My $0.02cdn. Good luck |

I saw a picture where vito was filling his car up with petrol....does the cars actually run out of petrol? And allso do we have a petrol meter?
I saw a picture where vito was filling his car up with petrol....does the cars actually run out of petrol? And allso do we have a petrol meter?
Yes and yes
Yes, just like the original.
And you can blow up the gas station, though make sure your car is far enough from the pumps
And you can also rob the place if you feel particularly criminal.
I think both games are/will be equally amazing
Has anyone run out in the demo i don't think 10mins is enough time i think i can see the petrol sign but it doesnt change at all.
Are you talking about GTA IV? Because that was a really amazing game yet people hate it with passion (like me, yet GTA IV was my first true love to buy a 360).
Anyway, Mafia II has the gas thing while GTA IV doesn't. In GTA IV, I used to take cars that were given to me or I stole on missions, I never stole any cars on the street. If I wanted to steal a car, i'd need it and I needed to set-up a scenario so on-lookers would believe that it would be my car (that's so "gay" in it's own way ).
I'll do the same as Mafia II. If I do steal a car, i'll steal one in an alley or at night, if possible (as the night is not like GTA IV with whatever time you want to play, you know?).
I noticed in the demo you can select the type of gas you buy. There's only one company choice, so there's not really a choice...but I wonder if there's another gas that's better or that doesn't release pink smoke from the exhaust when stepping on the brake.
I have, but I had stopped the times to mess around a little. I tried to see what happened if I would total a car. I remember when I played GTA 3 (Never played 4) that by the time your car was almost breaking down, with the smoke and all, you had to run, because it could blow up from right under your seat. Near the gas station is a parking lot with some containers and I tried to wreck the car I had. Worst thing that happened was that my engine broke down =) Because of the endless driving back and forth I got a warning that I was running out of petrol and a light started to blink on the HUD.
Dude fulling up with petrol here:
I somehow m..managed to have a burning gas p..pumper fill my car tank from a blown up gas station today, it was funny b..because he was burning and screaming "Auhh! AuHh!"
All i did was crash a cab into the gas p..pump .
You DONT run out of gas. I have checked it. Maybe its a feature that was removed for the demo but why would the producers put another feature that just makes your car "hop" and accelerate slower?
I drove for a long long time with my gas tank empty and it never stopped. Never, ever.
They do change certain stuff for demos.This one was quite small tho 1gb.The full game will be much better.
It's not pink smoke, the brake lights shine through the smoke making it look pink. If you smash your tail lights the smoke won't be pink. Also, there would be no point in having multiple gas companies because a full tank lasts more than enough time and if the prices were different you would choose the cheapest. It would go into too much detail worth caring about.
Alot of the time (In Mafia anyhow)Stolen cars would be either not full 1/2 or nearly empty.So Yeah getting fuel is kinda important and remember if your picking up a stolen ride make sure you look at thegas meter as it might need some fuel if you plan on getting in trouble with it.
Ok i decided to get a fast car drive up and down the motor way for about 10mins becuase the timer started on 12:30 and eventually i got the warning light and a message saying your running out of fuel i think in the final game you will have enough time to proply run out.
I stole a random car, drove it to the gas station and filled it up, and you can see on the gas meter that it's filled up.
On the first mafia i would steal a car and it would be almost out of gas and then i stole another car and it had a little more.It was cool if your car ran out out of gas it would stop moving which happened on the first mafia even tho i didn't use the gas stations for some reason.When i get mafia II tomorrow imma test that out.
Guys, did you get out of fuel? I did, and car still runed, but not on high speed And it's not a demo feature.
The car would stop
I love how if you shoot the gas tanks they blow up instantly. Once cop just got instantly incinerated. I didn't see his body after the smoke settled.

Boots like these may have been thought of something you would buy for your child to mess around in, but we have come a long way since then and you will be able to see women of all ages walking around in wide calf rain boots these days. On top of the whole design, there is a sense of style that comes with these boots as well. You can choose from something with straps, tassel or laces, which you wouldn't have thought of a couple of years ago.

Parenting is exciting and a daunting experience at the same time. All parents ensure their child's safety. Parents with who have twins or babies who are very close in age find parenting exciting but a very daunting experience at the same time. There are various ways to keep them safe at home but the real challenge is when you are travelling. Fortunately, companies find double strollers as important as single strollers. There are different things to consider when buying the best double stroller.
Here are helpful tips to make you decide.
This should be the priority of all parents for their children. There are proven organizations which ensure the child safety. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the Juvenile Products Manufacturers
Association (JPMA) are associations who certify products to be child safety. Make sure the double stroller you buy is certified as safe by the ASTM or JPMA.

Debemur Morti (2012)
An interesting approach on Black Metal here by these Portuguese newcomers. The band is but three years old and on this, their debut demo, they put many older contenders to the dark-throne to shame.
Experimental but at the same time atmospheric Black Metal, Jazz Black, composed on the foundations Ved Buens Ende built many moons ago. AIP follow closely in VBE's footstep, as can be heard quite well in "Sulphur Garden", but there's a lot more Black Metal to be found here than on "Written in Waters", and the band seems to be drawing influences from modern eccentrics like Dødsengel and Blut Aus Nord.

Its not possible, its completely out of print. SMAX is now distributed by EA, except they're not selling it anymore. Now legit downloads either.
Where on Gods green earth can I buy and download this expansion off the internet? I am guessing a legitimate copy would solve my problems . Can anyone help me on this? I've just re-formatted my HD & have Norton Anti-Virus installed with auto-updates so I don't suspect any more virus threats. What I do suspect is JAVA runtime, Macromedia flash, " " Shockwave, DX8.0, and Yahoo IM. Possibly Norton AV itself. I am going to next uninstall much of this software.

Hey Peoples,
It doesn't look good for my spot in this SMACX -"Who are the furlings?" game right now. If I could ask for just two more days (Friday Nite -EST USA) to resolve this conflict with my copy of SMACX and my PC I will let you know if I will remain here as Maia of the Angels or check out any 'SMAC only' PBeMs. I apologize for any time lost amongst you guys.
I've included the unplayed Maia 2109.zip.
Here guys....
Hey Guys,
It's official. I can't justify anymore time spent on this. My PC just won't accept my copies of "aliencrossfire". I am bowing out of this thread completely. My CD of SMAC works great and I will ask any of you at this time if they need any players in SMAC only threads. Again, any apologies in advance on this technical difficulty.
6 days is not a cause for replacement.
Suggestion: run the installer in compatibility modes.
maia: check your PM's
I gave you some other things to try.
no sig
Well. I just checked my PMs. Replied by PM to PJay. Replied to Detrius via email provided. PJays link is 404 currently. But I just told him now.
I send most of my files via Yahoo IM and am looking into trying my Trillian software after it flaked out on me. The forum has responded kindly there and I've got to get back to them. My only hang-up is Trillians web-cam shortcomings. I'd rather use Yahoo IM. I informed Detrius that I d/l another copy of SMACX from bittorrent. 4-6 sources and still the same Xdfe53.dll problem. It's a .dll that's ( i'm deducing) commonly stored in the "my documents" folder of Win98SE (my OS).
Of which, I have a bona-fide $139.00 store bought disc. ..crooks. If anyone can tell me what these "compatability modes" ( mentioned in Senethros post) are, I will try again but don't aim to delay anymore turn tracking.
$139!!!!! I hope you live in Canada. I picked up alien crossfire for £20 off ebay and a re-release of smac for £5.99.
Compatibility modes are a feature of windows XP.
Let me re-phrase that. My copy of Win98SE op. sys. was over $100.
If you gave me an RPG/XBOX bundle then I'd pay that much for a game. hah!
Maia, one possibility that has arisen from similar issues occuring when installing on a friends comp is that your unzipping utility is out of date or maybe just crap. Try using winrar or ultimate zip (google for them) to unzip the aliencrossfire.
compatbibility modes:
in your explorer (when opening the game file) right click (instead of double left clicking) on the file, select properties, select compatibility, select "run in compatibility mode". try all possible settings, though i dont think any of these will work.
google for "winzip" download version 6.0 shareware (or higher?). google for "winrar", download newest version. try to unzip SMAC/X with these two newer version programs. might help.
Xdfe53.dll sounds like a windows problem.
that file is not part of SMAC/X, so i suppose its part of windows or one of your windows programs.
i know you already tried, but: close every single running program, above all: anti virus and firewall.
do you know how to deactivate the built-in windows firewall?
eventually, you should only see the system clock in the lower right corner of the windows start screen.
you dont necessarily have to delete these programs. just try to close them. if you dont know how, hit ctrl alt del select the tab processes then find names that could correspond to the program(s) youre looking to close. right click and end process.
worst thing that can happen is that you lock-up your windows and have to reset.
P.S. whom should i crush with you leaving?
did i say "crush"? well "befriend" of course :ahem
I sent an other PM, with the correct URL
no sig
Hey folks,
Thanks for all of your support. I will need it very much in trying to get the larger, full-version of Alien Crossfire in harmony with my fickle PC.
But for now, PJays link saved the day and I am grateful for all the pitching in to get me out of the mud and back on the road!
-turn 2109 to Director PJay
In Gratitude,
P.S. Let us know how it plays. Will you PJay?
2109 to Cardinal Detrius

There's going to be a slight delay in my turn. I've moved to another city to start my Masters. I wanted to assemble my desk before I installed my computer, but since I have a neck injury right now, what I think I'll do is take my computer to my office, hook it up and then play the turn using my office's ethernet connection. I should have the turn ready by Friday.
Another problem that I encountered with my home computer. One of the clips that holds the CPU heatsink snapped off and the heatsink fell off. It's possibly been tumbling around hitting other components such as the video card and ram. I'm getting some guy in my physics department to test each component to see what's salvageable but I'm going to definately need to buy (or replace) parts for my computer. And I don't really have access to a WinXP machine so that I can install a copy and play from there.
Otay, Spanky. I'll be checking in from time to time. Honestly never had a problem like that before but will be looking to work musically from a laptop in the next 2 years. (apple). I've got a big aluminumunum heat-sink on mine. I have some support around that is going to get me at a base-line PC for @$200. Right now I am rattling the canyon-valley with my dinosaur cries.
yahoo DOT com@smoke_henke_kelner
detrius, do you have any estimate about how long it will take you to get your computer back in shape ?
no sig
Yes I do. Probably on Tuesday. I'm still here. Anyways, networking my computer shouldn't be a problem as I can use my university's network connection. I have ordered a new motherboard and a new CPU but I don't know how long that's going to take.
I'll ask a grad student of mine to see if I can install SMAX on his computer temporarily so I can play my turn. I apologize for the delay.
Coincidentally, that is when U.S. is back from Labor Day weekend. So I look to be out-doors alot but look forward to getting back to the game soon. We are mindful and prayerful of all the displaced victims of Hurricane Katrina here. Its too close to the historical Tsunami tragedy, just eight months ago.
P.S. How do I change the horizontal length of my frame with this "boa" system?
My parts are on backorder. I've asked for an ETA but I don't know it yet. If you want you can find a replacement for me. I'll still be here if you don't find a replacement by the time my parts come in.
If they answer with an ETA, post it here please...
no sig
Uuuh, Detrius,
How is your neck injury? Is it getting better? You know, you can play this game on W98. I do. Any dinosaur will do. lol
Good news. I can play my turn!!!
Turn 2109 to Bearhugger. My neck injury healed within a week.
Anyways, I received my parts on Saturday and ended up installing a new motherboard and cpu by myself for the first time. I wanted to save on the labour costs. Took me the entire day, but everything is working now.
Thanks for keeping us filled in on your your "e-djustments" and look forward to playing with your new, ramped -up, uber heat-sink, hah!
Waiting for your turn at:
smoke_henke_kelner AT yahoo DOT com
Welcome back,
I haven't seen a turn in my email account. Is everything ok.?
It looks like things have been very slow around here but why not get things going for the entire AC forum, lol!
I'll PM Senethro and say hi. Meantime, drop us a line!
Maia, you could send an email to bearhugger to ask if he received the turn from Detrius...
(today it's exactly 1 month ago I've last seen a turn from this game...)

A popular road used as a cut-through in Holley has been closed, and playing a role in the blame are issues of safety, flooding, the preservation of trees and a potential development.
Developers who purchased two parcels of land near the intersection of Hwy 87 S and Allie Grimes Road around 2006 appeared before Santa Rosa commissioners on April 25, asking the county to vacate a portion of Big Oak Loop, which courses off Holley Assembly of God church property.
Despite a previous rezoning approval with a condition to retain connectivity, the measure was approved by commissioners, effectively closing the road's public use.
Lovie Ann Grimes, a longtime resident of the area, contacted county officials to protest any vacating of the roadway.
"We couldn't get them to stop. We didn't want that to happen," Grimes said following the vote.
Grimes spoke of safety concerns over the intersection of Hwy 87 S at Allie Grimes Road, an intersection which has periodic traffic congestion in proximity to a curve and further compounded by the location of a convenience store.
"Many residents use the road by the (Holley Assembly of God) church to avoid that danger," Grimes said.

(News Tagged 'Western') |
Welcome to the mindbending Rock, where otherworldly geology is the backdrop for a heady mix of words + music during the Writers at Woody Point.
The surge and surface current slosh me around like laundry in a spin cycle. I'm scuba diving on Gadd's Wall, a precipitous dive site in Bonne Bay, in Western Newfoundland's Gros Morne National Park, that just may be one of the top dives on the Rock.
What to feed a hungry angler... Fish, perhaps?
15 Apr 2013Trevor Pilgrim of Mayflower Adventures in Roddickton, NL, believes in giving his guests a hearty breakfast before he takes them out salmon fishing. One of his favourite haunts is Beaver Brook and its world-famous limestone cave, known as the Underground Salmon Pool.
The perfect place to stay for this western Newfoundland golf adventure is the Humber Valley Resort, and perhaps the best golf to be played on this side of the island is the River Course at the resort. The resort offers both an inn and chalets with seasonal rates. The chalets offer options to house large or small groups with all the comforts of a world-class golf destination.
Forget the Rockies. Winter blahs melt away as you hit the gas on a snowmobile and blast along ancient mountain ridges or wander through pristine woodlands in Newfoundland and Labrador.
A vast network of trails sprawls across more than 5,000 kilometres of natural beauty. It spans the former Canadian National Railway route, follows the foothills of the Long Range Mountains to a glacier-cut fjord in Gros Morne National Park, and crisscrosses Labrador's rolling tundra.
Head over heels in Newfoundland
7 Feb 2013The perception most of us have of Newfoundland is of a scenic wonder filled with rocky cliffs, green terrain and quaint seaside villages. It is not known as a haven for winter activity, but a visit to Western Newfoundland will obliterate any notion that Newfoundlanders are not just as much fun in the cold as in the sun. Even the province's jewel, Gros Morne National Park, offers visitors spectacular beauty when the temperature falls below freezing.
Viva la Viking Trail
13 Jun 2012Newfoundland and Labrador's Viking Trail celebrates the place where the first Europeans to make landfall in the Western Hemisphere, Leif Erikson and the Vikings, came in contact with North America's native people. Around A.D. 1000, Erikson led an expedition that sailed from a Norse village in Greenland to the coast of Labrador then south to Newfoundland.
Flummies, Toutons, and Scrunchions
18 May 2012What do fish and brewis, cod tongues, toutons, Jiggs' dinner and moose meatballs have in common? They are just a few of the delicious dishes served in Labrador and Newfoundland. My only complaint after spending two weeks driving across Labrador and down the west coast of Newfoundland with my husband, Barrie, is that I put on more pounds than I care to divulge.
Snowshoeing in Gros Morne National Park
28 Feb 2012Winter is the best season to snowshoe through Newfoundland's rugged western coast.
Skiing the Rock - Newfoundland's Gros Morne
15 Feb 2012Newfoundland, a.k.a. "The Rock," (for reasons obvious to anyone who visits), is Canada's eastern most province. It is a land of anomalies. It is almost 2,500 miles closer to Europe than to Vancouver on the west coast of Canada. Despite being almost as large as Cuba, less than half a million residents call it home.

1) When opening the gearbox, flip the gearbox so that you see the 3 bearings clearly. You want the mode selector on the table, and not facing up. It will also be easier to put the case back together with the side with the selector switch down on the table.
2) a little dab of crazy glue on the trigger spring (where the spring slots into the hole on the trigger, can make it easier to NOT lose that spring).
3) a little dab of crazy clue on the anti reversal latch spring - will really, really make it much easier to get that latch and spring positioned. to make sure you do not glue this item in place - first remove it from the gearbox, and set aside. Put a dab onto it, and then let it dry thoroughly. As Specialist rightly points out - you do NOT want to glue your ARL to the gun itself.
4) When putting the backlash catch in, remove the main gear first. Once the backlash catch is in place - you can put the main gear back in.
5) when closing the case - make sure that the register marks on the piston cylinder are seated into the slots on the case. they will also slot into the slots on the other half of the case. If you find that when you are trying to put the case back together, and it rocks back and forth, and won't shut - this is your problem.
6) at the front of the cylinder - there is a little nozzle (air nozzle) with a plastic tube on it that slides back and forth. This needs to fit onto the pull back arm (tappet plate). if not - you will find that when you attempt to fire your gun, you will dry fire, and then double fire two bb's.
I hope this helps others - as I learned the "hard" way during re-assembly and dissassembly of my gearboxes many times in the last several days.

Courtesy of Aston Martin Long Island, On Display November 8
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY … As part of Hofstra University's James Bond symposium, Bond, James Bond: The World of 007, to be held November 7 and 8, 2007, Aston Martin Long Island has agreed to display an Aston Martin DB9-Coupe – which was the basis for DBS model seen in Casino Royale – on the Hofstra campus on Thursday, November 8, 2007.
The Aston Martin has long been associated with the James Bond films, having first appeared in 1964's Goldfinger, followed by Thunderball, The Living Daylights, Golden Eye, Die Another Day and most recently in Casino Royale. The car has been featured so prominently in the films, it has been like a recurring character.
The car will be displayed from noon to 5 p.m. on Hofstra's South Campus at Hofstra Hall Plaza (in front of the Axinn Library). Then in time for a 6 p.m. banquet it will be moved to the North Campus east circle ramp, adjacent to the Mack Student Center.For more information on the James Bond symposium call the Hofstra Cultural Center at (516) 463-5669 or visit www.hofstra.edu/culture

Between 1876 and 1976 approximately 30 millions of Italians left their native soil immigrating to several countries in the world. More than 4 millions emigrated to the United States of America. Perhaps because they tried to forget a painful past, most of their descendants know very little about their names and their history.
Start your research with: professional genealogic tools, references to all vital records, collection of links, a detailed orientation about Italian archives and a complete guide for your research of Italian ancestors. If you're trying to restore your family history you'll enjoy to figure out how that man or that woman were, where they born, how was that town, at what time they immigrated, their reasons for the immigration and other events and facts you are going to discover step by step.
Together with the family, books and archives, Internet is an endless source of information. Browsing on Internet pages we may learn about our ancestors' facts and events, uses and costumes of the time they lived and about the landscapes they contemplated. We'll find historical, geographical information and genealogical resources. And also we may enjoy wonderful postcards of all those landscapes once told in stories by themselves.
This page is devoted to all those Italians who left their land and their beloved ones to start a new life, with the uncertainty of the unknown, with the hope of a promissory future.
And it's also devoted to all of us, who are their sprouts and we wish to know a little bit more about them, tighten the limits between past and present.

All well oil prices rising double digits since June and we have an analyst who says.
Buying oil isn't the only way to get in on the gains bottle gates is the managing director and senior analyst at Oppenheimer and company joins us now bottle thanks for joining us.
-- who so.
What's -- story here you think that we're not seeing it.
Oil prices today reflecting the fundamental situation.
No what I'm saying is oil prices ought innovate could.
-- feel potential supply disruption.
And market fundamentals do not support those prices at my -- -- -- that BP I which allowed benchmark price.
Or at a 112 dollar hundred since two dollar for brand.
It should be significant in the water.
Move my -- man continued to decline.
Production continued to increase because of technology because of all don't want children because will be sentenced.
And we have not seen before impact of that if turns all of the gulf of -- school.
Output so all and all -- oil prices are high by about ten to fifteen dolphins are.
So you have you have demand going down you have supply going up because of shale oil and all the other -- neurology and everything.
And and the prices going in exactly the wrong direction given that supply demand scenario so what's happening here follows -- speculation.
-- speculation has become part of video being overpriced and -- the government has done nothing to stop that.
And we are seeing a bubble.
I'm bubble -- -- was -- the question is not if it's when I'm by how much.
As small like the bubble that we had in 2000 did but nevertheless that's a bubble anything above supplies.
I didn't I'm -- in my view is a bubble.
-- I mean.
Everybody has what you're watching on this network for five years knows my stance on.
Your mention of speculators in their driving of the oil prices what is not to believe that the CFTC -- never been able to prove that.
However if you look at the -- -- situation of the market what speculators are betting on higher prices in the future.
They're looking at the geopolitical situation and -- at risk isn't in the -- leads straight now.
And embracing that in which in my speculation -- the value of valuable function in the market hasn't happen.
I mean if like you see -- -- and beware of dog read them we'll dogs around.
So I mean people can't believe what they -- they want to believe the fact of the matter if they Iranians still may have comes Susan Lewis and hopefully peaceful one hopefully they would -- and went around links oil prices would send.
But that's why they are high today so.
It's unreasonable free to tell viewers that oil prices are unreasonably high Euro is saying right now that they are high because their pricing in -- that rest.
Because -- if you remove distressed which nobody can quantify we do not know.
What impact any military action against generate -- period -- facility.
William -- if put create a ten dollar off in oil price does.
But soon after all -- throughout -- come down to -- is supported by supply demand fundamentals.
We could have -- -- 150 dollars oil but is not going to get our economy moving -- economy on the for us to.
Give the economy back on its feet less hassle have to come down the question again in my view is by how marsh has filed obviously a ten dollar -- won't.
We can't let you go without talking some some some basics here about stocks in particular what oil companies are well positioned to.
To -- -- even if oil does come down to 75 dollars a barrel which which oil companies could withstand that is still do well.
Well the -- orient home for -- You win the -- have less volatility if you realm so if oil prices come down you want to go to those companies.
That were -- that have been some Balanchine we're looking at Chevron -- -- thought it Murphy Brown out as great.
These are very different -- that -- -- hiding never sort of prices did some of the -- that will benefit or prices remain high school or high.
But companies that could benefit strong decline -- lower prices relative to their fear it would be a company like Exxon would become a moment -- Would -- a dollar but not as much as the energy sector in general.
All right thought okay by the way follow I think I'm gonna pay for drinks for you would -- because.
So that I could be there and listen to a continuation of this this argument if you will -- Under question is speculation follows great to see again and prudent and constructive comments destruction conversation constructive -- thank you Bob thanks -- appreciated.

With the PowerShot ELPH 110 HS digital camera, capturing trips and special occasions with a high-quality video "highlights reel" is as easy as switching on the Movie Digest feature. When activated, the feature automatically records the four seconds before each still shot as video, then auto-edits them into a short movie. Played back together, the video clips capture the mood and ambiance of special days in a way that's completely different from still images, both documenting the creation of still images and providing a unique stand-alone memory preserver. New with the PowerShot ELPH 110 HS, the video is captured in 720p high definition so that it looks smooth and beautifully detailed when played back on your HDTV. With bundled software ImageBrowser EX, you can easily delete any scenes you don't want.

Sheriff's department IDs veteran deputy involved in Douglas County fatal shooting
The names of the man killed in an officer-involved shooting early Tuesday and the law enforcement officer involved were released Wednesday.
The names of the man killed in an officer-involved shooting early Tuesday and the law enforcement officer involved were released Wednesday.
Patrol Lt. Chris Hoyt with the Douglas County Sheriff's Department shot 21-year-old Andrew L. Closson after the younger man pointed a rifle at the lieutenant, according to releases from Douglas County Sheriff Tom Dalbec. Closson was transported to a Duluth hospital where he later died from his injuries.
"It's obviously a tragic event, not just for Mr. Closson's family but for Lt. Hoyt and his family, and the department in general," Dalbec said Wednesday.
The sheriff has known Hoyt for years.
"He and I got sworn in together on the police department January of 1991," Dalbec said.
Deputies were called to a domestic disturbance in Gordon early Tuesday morning. While en route, they were informed shots had been fired within the house. Three deputies arrived on the scene and tried to establish a perimeter around the house.
At the same time, the department's SWAT team was being activated, Dalbec said. As deputies were attempting to set up the perimeter, Closson broke out a window at the rear of the house and left the area on foot.
Hoyt, who lives in Gordon, is the commander of the sheriff department's SWAT team; he was at the Gordon Fire Hall getting a generator when he was informed there was someone walking along U.S. Highway 53.
"He just went to check to see who it was," Dalbec said. "I mean it was cold, too. If there was a hitchhiker … it was 12 below that morning. Kind of a cold night to be walking anywhere, let alone along a highway."
Hoyt located Closson walking along the highway about a mile away from the residence where shots had been fired.
The incident remains under investigation by the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office and the Superior Police Department.
Hoyt has been placed on administrative leave, standard procedure when an officer is involved in a shooting.
"He's actually doing well," Dalbec said of Hoyt. "He and his family are taking a little time off and just trying to deal with it and try to get over it as best they can."
How long the 21-year veteran of the department will be on leave is up to him, the sheriff said.
"His mental state and his health and well-being is paramount, and you know, when he feels he's ready to come back to work we'll make that accommodation but at the same time you know if he's not, we're certainly going to help him and do what we can to help him through this."
The last fatal law enforcement shooting incident in rural Douglas County was more than 10 years ago. Kenneth Fuller was shot by officers Dec. 6, 2001, at the Manitou Inn in the town of Superior when he charged officers while armed with a knife.
Hopefully, Dalbec said, the department will never have to go through another fatal shooting incident again "in my career or any other time for that matter."

Are there books that describe how these tactics were employed? How larger units were trained to perform those specific tactics, and just as importantly how to defend against them? From most of what I've read it seems clear that the South was always at a material strategic disadvantage, yet because of effective tactics was able to resist for as long as they did. Similarly, in several major battles the Union missed victory due to failure to employ effective tactics, or maintain tactical initiative despite temporary setbacks. What I'd like to read or explore is authoritative discussion of this type of topic. I believe a better understanding of this issue would make a lot of things more clear about how the Civil War developed. Anyone who has comments on the subject or suggestions on source material your comments would be appreciated. regards, |

I then did some searching on Amazon.com and I found a book that seems good explaining Civil War strategy called "Civil War Command and Strategy: The Process Of Victory And Defeat". I might even buy this book after I'm finished with the stack of books I'm working on reading. ____________________ That old man...had my division massacred at Gettysburg!" - George Pickett said these words to John S.

There are several out there. I have two: "Battle Tactics of the Civil War," Paddy Griffith, and "Civil War Command & Strategy," Archer Jones. Haven't read either, but the authors are well-respected historians. Ole |

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Now that I have two hits on the Jones book it is on my list!. I have always found it frustrating that I could not really understand the evolution of the battlefield when reading books on the Civil War. Hopefully, this book will help address that. I've always suspected that taken as a whole that is probably one of the most interesting aspects of the struggle, at least up to Gettysburg. BTW: this comment is intended to both of you gentlemen! |

Griffith, Paddy, Battle Tactics of the Civil War, Yale University Press, 2001. & Tactics in America 1861-65, Fieldbooks, 1986. Hardee, W.J., Rifle and Light Infantry Tactics, J.O. Kane, 1862. http://www.usregulars.com/library.htm Those should get you started, of Jones and Griffith I prefer Griffith. The Regulars site should give you access to all the manuals you could ever want. |

I know they have these books at the Gettysburg Visitor Center Bookstore (amongst other places in town) but they have to be somewhere else. They are little pocket sized field guides for officers that were published by the US War Department in the 1860s. I believe there is one for each branch of the military. Here is a link for the Infantry version entitled: The 1863 U. S. Infantry Tactics: Infantry of the Line, Light Infantry, and Riflemen http://books.google.com/books?id=fkE4EAWReq8C&pg=RA1-PA216&lpg=RA1-PA216&dq=Infantry+Tactics+Field+Guide+1863&source=bl&ots=3NQwVmQL_5&sig=GqWjrKWwwEL_xTjwEf7oDxt2jsQ&hl=en&ei=qCQtSuvZGJT0Mpj1pekJ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3#PPP1,M1 ____________________ "War does not determine who is right-only who is left." ~Anon http://hauntedhousewriter.blogspot.com/ |

Below are a few more net links that you might find useful. The last two show animated movements of various drill. The first two are manuals. http://home.att.net/~Cap1MD/Drill.htm http://civilwarfortifications.com/library/ http://www.reznorstudios.com/CivilWarFolder/DrillCo1.htm http://www.10thbattalion.org/school.php |

A few people influenced the way the military acted when formed for battle during the Civil War period. The Napoleonic Wars and the Crimean War were precedent to what happened on American soil during the four years of conflict. These actions prior influenced the tactics and technology used. At the start of the Civil War Zoaves and their colorful, easily decerned uniforms were all the rage. By the end of it all most were garbed in either Butternut Brown, Field Gray and Field Blue. Colors to blend in with the scenery. The shovel took on an importance unknown to it when the conflict began. Being below the line of fire in a trench was recognized as a good idea as some of the sieges around urban centers began to develop. You request an authoritative source of information regarding the tactics used in this conflict we consider here. My suggestion is to use The Official Records of the War of the Rebellion while considering the course syllabus of the Military Institutions of the time. The Official Records are available online from Cornell's Making of America site. Perhaps you are graced with a library containing a set of these volumes in their catalog. Johann mentions the manuals he'd linked to. Some of these texts were as much military training as some of those citizen-soldiers received, the balance coming from on the job training. |
