Fallout: New Vegas First Impressions - High Vault-age Written Wednesday, May 05, 2010 By Richard Walker View author's profile | |
It's been more than a year since we last trawled the vast post-apocalyptic wasteland of Fallout 3 and after conquering all that the Washington wastelands has to offer, it's high time for more mutant slaying, wandering exploration and darkly humorous branching dialogue. Fallout: New Vegas begins with your apparent death, which might not seem like the most promising of starts, but don't worry because even though you've been shot twice in the head(!) and left to rot in a shallow grave out in the Mojave desert, you're soon rescued by Vegas Vic – a mysterious robot – and taken to the kindly Doc Mitchell, who patches you up. This is where our hands-off demo lead by Senior Designer Chris Avellone commences, as your character awakens to the benevolent visage of the good Doc, who has selflessly reassembled your head for you. This smartly introduces you to the character creation interface as Doc Mitchell makes sure he put everything back in the right place and that you remember your name, which you can input or use the default title of 'Courier' – your character's job role. After this you answer a few questions with the Doc and go through the Vit-O-Matic vigour test to assign your abilities, Then you're good and ready to embark upon a brand new quest, blinking out into the sunlight as you did when you first left Vault 101. At this point, it's worth noting that New Vegas is a completely new story, with completely new characters and a fresh setting. Yes, it uses the same engine and much of the same assets as Fallout 3 and at this current stage in development it certainly looks no different, but then can you really blame Obsidian for playing it safe? Yes and no. It's perhaps surprising, given that Avellone was the lead designer on cancelled 'could-have-been-Fallout 3' project Van Buren, that Obsidian has decided to plough a familiar, well-worn furrow with New Vegas. Perhaps doing so is the path of least resistance for the developer. And let's not forget that this is a full-sized spin off and not a fully-fledged sequel. So, upon leaving Doc Mitchell's humble abode, decked out in Vault 21 garb, a Pip-Boy 3000 (obviously) and armed with not very much at all, you venture to Goodsprings – a Wild West flavoured settlement inhabited by the usual menagerie of classic Fallout weirdos and deadbeats. Entering the Prospector Saloon, we first meet Sunny Smiles, who is anything but. After a chat, we go and help her dispatch a few pesky geckos with the 22. Varmint Rifle, which like many of New Vegas' weapons, grants a special combat bonus. This particular rifle does extra damage against limbs, but there's a greater emphasis overall on weapon effects and upgrades, giving you three different attachments to add to each of your guns. Avellone proceeds to show us a pistol he's augmented with a scope, barrel and larger magazine, and it looks far meaner than its vanilla counterpart. This is preparation for the first main mission, which is to protect a weird guy called Ringo who lurks in the saloon toilets. A fellow called Joe Cobb is causing trouble in the town with a gang of so-called 'powder gangers', so the bar's owner, Trudy, calls upon you to round up a gang to go tackle Cobb and his cronies. After a quick talk with Ringo, Sunny, Chet from the general store and Easy Pete (who also gives us a few sticks of dynamite thanks to a dialogue option unlocked due to our 25 point explosive skill), we're good and ready to tackle the gang. Along the way, our hero gets hold of the game's new 9-iron and enters the trusty VATs mode showing that a press of Y now initiates a specialised weapon specific move, designed to add "spice" to melee combat. This one is called 'Fore!' and is – as you'd expect – a swift, (dis)graceful golf swing to the plums of your targeted victim. Tiger Woods, eat your heart out. Incidentally, Cobb's head went flying off in classic VATs style outside of VATs, demonstrating the dynamic kill cam which can now be triggered at any moment. Upon completing this mission for the people of Goodsprings and taking out Joe Cobb, we earn the acceptance and trust of the townsfolk. This is part of the new reputation system that has overarching consequences across all of New Vegas, so incurring the wrath of one faction will delight another and vice-versa. So when we betray the loyalty of the New California Republic by activating the Helios One plant's generator to reroute power to the Archimedes II orbital laser, only to rain florescent laser death upon the NCR troops below, they'll remember it and will potentially never trust you ever again. But then again, it is easy to slip past the facility's idiotic custodian, Fantastic (who has a "theoretical degree in physics"), and once you get to the generator, you're presented with a variety of options that have a range of consequences. Remember, just because there's a big space laser at your fingertips, you don't have to use it to kill everyone in the vicinity. Before our demo finishes, Avellone shows us Primm; a town surrounded by a rollercoaster and home to the besieged Bison Steve Casino; and Novac; a city so-called because the entrance is flanked by a broken 'No Vacancy' sign that reads, well, 'No Vac' obviously. There you'll find a huge motel sign that also happens to be a massive derelict dinosaur-shaped gift shop called Dinky, which doubles as a handy sniper nest. Here you'll also meet ex-NCR member Craig Boone, a crack shot sniper who can join you as a partner. We meet another partner character, Raul the ghoul later on, in the central Black Mountain location where a mental, aggressive breed of super mutants from previous Fallouts reside. Joining up with him, we take on the band of Nightkin super mutants who have been driven insane by an over exposure to Stealth Boy technology. Using the grenade machinegun – which spits out grenades at an alarming rate – the Nightkins and their cross-dressing, peroxide-wigged leader, Tabitha, soon fall under the duress of so many explosive projectiles that our super mutant killing spree antics are sure to make Raul and the Brotherhood of Steel happy. There are two breeds of super mutant in New Vegas, the smart kind who can talk and articulate and the self-explanatory 'dumb-dumbs'. As one breed naturally hates the other, you can play them off against one another and sit back and watch as they fight. Fallout: New Vegas reputation system is perhaps the most significant change to the formula, enabling you to orchestrate devious machinations behind the scenes while hopefully maintaining enough favour with the communities and factions that matter. It might look like Fallout 3 with bluer skies (the bombs didn't fall as hard on New Vegas' townships and settlements) and few, if any visual additions, but it's the subtle differences that should make it worth revisiting Fallout. A smattering of old creatures and familiar names from previous Fallout titles will delight the purists, and the optional hardcore mode (complete with achievement for completion) with ammo weight, slow-effect stimpaks and a demand on gathering water to avoid dehydration will satisfy Fallout 3 veterans thirsting for a challenge. Simply put, if you liked Fallout 3, it's highly likely that you'll love New Vegas. Fallout: New Vegas is hitting the wastes this autumn 2010. |

That's not the point. It's what the actions in the video game represent that causes all the controversy. Killing an innocent child in an airport when they are begging for help just because "it's a video game" can affect someone psychologically. That's why there is so much debate about it.

Pate a Choux
(Yield: About 28)
¾ cup (175 ml.) water
6 Tbsp. (85 g.) unsalted butter
¼ Tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 cup (125 g.) all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
For Egg Wash: 1 egg and pinch of salt
Pre-heat oven to 425◦F/220◦C degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Preparing batter:
1. Combine water, butter, salt and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and stir occasionally. At boil, remove from heat and sift in the flour, stirring to combine completely.
2. Return to heat and cook, stirring constantly until the batter dries slightly and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan
3. Transfer to a bowl and stir with a wooden spoon 1 minute to cool slightly.
4. Add 1 egg. The batter will appear loose and shiny. It is at this point that you will add in the next egg. Repeat until you have incorporated all the eggs.
Transfer batter to a pastry bag fitted with a large open tip (I piped directly from the bag opening without a tip). Pipe choux about 1 inch-part in the baking sheets. Choux should be about 1 inch high about 1 inch wide.
Using a clean finger dipped in hot water, gently press down on any tips that have formed on the top of choux when piping. You want them to retain their ball shape, but be smoothly curved on top.
Vanilla Crème Patissiere
1 cup (225 ml.) whole milk
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
6 Tbsp. (100 g.) sugar
1 large egg
2 large egg yolks
2 Tbsp. (30 g.) unsalted butter
1 Tsp. Vanilla
1. Dissolve cornstarch in ¼ cup of milk. Combine the remaining milk with the sugar in a saucepan; bring to boil; remove from heat.
2. Beat the whole egg, then the yolks into the cornstarch mixture. Pour 1/3 of boiling milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly so that the eggs do not begin to cook.
3. Return the remaining milk to boil. Pour in the hot egg mixture in a stream, continuing whisking.
Continue whisking (this is important – you do not want the eggs to solidify/cook) until the cream thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and beat in the butter and vanilla.
4. Pour cream into a stainless steel/ceramic bowl. Press plastic wrap firmly against the surface. Chill immediately and until ready to use.
We divided our pastry cream in half and to one part added extra vanilla and to the other the zest of 2 oranges for a delicate orange flavor. To each we folded in about 2/3 cup whipped cream, to give us a light creamy filling.
printable recipe
Our cream puffs were light and crispy with just a hint of sweetness. The orange filling with the caramel was a really good combination that I would definitely use again. There are endless combintaion to use for filling and decorations which makes this a good dessert to try again and again, making it different each time.

Recently published on Microsoft TechNet (30 October) were the Software boundaries and limits for SharePoint 2013. Some noticeable adds are in this guidance so please take the time and familiarize yourself with the changes. Some of the guidance however did not change and a couple in particular I want to reference due to the fact on pretty much every engagement I go on with a customer these areas are not adhered to and in some cases blown completely out of the water.
List view lookup threshold
8 join operations per query
Specifies the maximum number of joins allowed per query, such as those based on lookup, person/group, or workflow status columns. If the query uses more than eight joins, the operation is blocked. This does not apply to single item operations. When using the maximal view via the object model (by not specifying any view fields), SharePoint will return up to the first eight lookups.
List view threshold
Specifies the maximum number of list or library items that a database operation, such as a query, can process at the same time outside the daily time window set by the administrator during which queries are unrestricted.
To give an example of what I see customers do:
Notice where I highlighted. These two setting changes will provide you with the opportunity one day to bring your farm to its knees and in most cases will also cause you to pick up the phone and contact Microsoft to open a case. This is a case that can easily be avoided.. How? By reading the Software Boundaries and Limits for SharePoint 2013. We put this guidance out for a reason and the teams aren't just randomly selecting numbers out of the air and filling in the charts. We do extensive testing on our products with many different hardware configurations that we expect our customers to run under. These boundary numbers are areas where we will see performance degradation occur. Also notice that some of these are soft boundaries and some are hard. The Hard boundaries are supportable stop points and should not be exceeded. The Soft boundaries fall in line with the example above. This is a throttling limit we set. You can adjust it if you like but you will face issues down the line. Depending on your hardware you may not run into it for some time past the limit. But I can guarantee you that in some time you will run into an issue here.
So let's go through an example of what this customer faced. The background here is that I was there for a week performing a Microsoft RAP (Risk Assessment Program) and this is one of the test cases that we run.
I run through the test cases and I am starting my analysis of the FARM's Health and Risks… I come across a case that states that the "List View Threshold is set to a value greater than 5,000" At this point I look into the details and what I'm looking for are the number of list items shown. In this case one list had 60K items. Remember we are not concerned about the number of list items… were concerned with the View. I then have the customer open up Central Admin and I look at the Resource Throttling section for the Web Apps in question and low and behold I find this was changed. Customer stated that they made this change early on in the deployment but didn't know if anything would be affected. These types of findings allow us to amplify the importance of RAPs where we provide proactive side by side discussions with customers. Many times these discussions open interesting findings that we can hopefully correct so as not to have the customer face issues in the future. During this conversation the customer mentioned they had an outage a few months ago and they were about to open a Premier Support Ticket but it suddenly normalized. This was all I needed. This little snippet of info allowed me to prove that this issue is real and was experienced (though the customer never found out root cause)
Changing these settings will cause an issue known as SQL Escalation Lock. Basically what happens is that you can have a very large list view in place. You're a member of a team site and you open up that large list. You're freely viewing the items in this list and notice no issue. Other users however are not so lucky. You're opening up that list in an exclusive mode where others will receive an error when trying to view. But this is just one list. Who cares right? This gets better… follow along. You are done viewing this list and close it. This is where the real problem occurs. What happens now is that your SQL Processors are probably spiked and remain spiked. Performance is now tanked. Why? SQL is trying to remove the lock and depending on how large that list really is... it can take some time for it to heal itself. This is a SQL thing… not so much a SharePoint thing. SQL Queries are handled much better with the numbers we state in the Boundaries list. In time however the CPU's will normalize but in many cases the customers panic and call an outage (which this is) but we can avoid this from happening… read on.
What to do about this?
Two methods are recommended
In MOSS the first option was the preferred choice. However in SharePoint 2010 and 2013 what we see is you still start off with better performance with option 1 but once you start to hit a list size of 100K it starts to level off to same performance results. When I work with my customers depending on how many lists are affected I generally will tell them to go with option 2 because its pretty simple to implement. Option 1 will take quite a bit of work moving items into their desired folders and there will need to be some planning with regards to naming conventions.
Don't believe me? Have a look at the info in this guidance http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262813.aspx#Throttling (for those running SharePoint 2013 this guidance is still relevant)
Hope this avoids issues for someone in the future
So there I was. Sitting all alone. Eating my emergency rations of Peanut Butter Crunch cereal, writing some work reports and watching Netflix on my Xbox. I knew my hometown (Brigantine NJ) and the surrounding shore areas were already getting hit hard by Sandy but I live inland near Princeton so I am figuring.. eh I am safe this won't affect me… work cancelled my work due to the approaching storm (thanks Microsoft for caring). I had all my devices (Laptop, Windows Phone, Duracell Charger, Verizon MIFI and my newly acquired Microsoft Surface)
Lights in place were blaring… work was getting done… movie was somewhat interesting… then it happened.. Click.. Pop… Power went out. So I'm figuring… ok dude… this is just a quick thing.. After about 15 min of sitting in the dark and silence I start to think… ok dude, you're a moron.. go find the candles. So candles get lit, I started up my fireplace, and settling back for what turned out to be 27 hours of darkness. One by one as the hours went on my devices started to die off.. first was the laptop (which is due to be replaced soon I hope) then the Duracell charger went bye bye… phone started to bleed down (it did last quite a while though I'm happy to say) What I was left with was my new Surface and Mifi which lasted the entire time (and still had plenty of juice). The Surface functioned flawlessly for a number of scenarios
All in all I am quite pleased with the device. I was worried about the size of it with screen viewing (bad eyes) and the touch keyboard (I have mastered this keyboard and though I will still be the fat finger king, I am quite comfortable typing on it)
Most important during this time though was the battery life. I could have easily gone another day or two on this.
Big thanks to my company (Microsoft) for putting out such a solid product. Very pleased with this device.
FYI… I purchased this on my own dime. This was not a company purchased device J
If you haven't gotten one yet go have a look at them. The advertisements are one thing but you need to pick one up and feel it to fully appreciate it.
In SharePoint 2010 we introduced FIM which acted as a broker of sorts when bringing profiles from AD into SharePoint. One of the key reasons for this add was to allow companies to not only pull AD info into SharePoint but also to push information from SharePoint back to AD. This was a key change from Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 or MOSS 2007 as we generally called it. The synchronization method was a very simple one way pull from AD which didn't allow a lot of flexibility.
One of the pains that were felt with User Profile Service Application (or UPSA, UPA, Dir Syncer or whatever folks like to refer to it) was that it required more steps to configure than just going into the UI and clicking a couple buttons as we Admin types are generally fond of doing. Early on in the process my buddy Spence wrote the manifesto on how to properly create this. There was a lot of bad guidance floating around out in the webosphere on how to do this and pretty much all of them were wrong. As much as it pains me to admit as I don't want to inflate an ego but one of the questions I would always ask my customers when they deployed SharePoint 2010 went a little like this:
Me – Oh great it looks like you have every Service Application provisioned (this to me 99% of the time pointed me to the fact that they used the FCW (Farm Configuration Wizard) to deploy the farm) More to come from that another time but this is a bad plan for Production Farms. Fine for Dev or Test but Prod…. Please don't do this.
Customer – Yep it was simple but I can't seem to get the User Profile thing working
Me – did you follow any guidance out on the web for this?
Customer – No I just let SharePoint handle it
Me – rubbing my hand through my hair wondering what a proper response would be while continuing to be a Trusted Advisor……
Me – You know we have a couple excellent documents out there that detail what needs to be done here to configure this. Namely TechNet or my buddy with the silly purple page In fact if you follow this guide step by step you will always have a successful experience in deploying UPA.
Getting back on track to the point of this post is to inform you that those guides are still fully relevant today in SharePoint 2013. There is however one exception to this.
Along with the previous mentioned method to Profile Synchronization we have also included the previous method of import…It's called Active Directory Direct import and think of this as the lightweight import method.
The method of implementing this is not right in front of your face though. When I first started looking at this I would have assumed that they would add this functionality at the point where you create your Profile Synch but this lives in a different area. I will highlight both SharePoint 2010 and 2013 in the following screenshots to show this:
SharePoint 2010 (notice the arrow pointing to Configure Sync Settings)
SharePoint 2013 (Notice that the screens look remarkably similar)
SharePoint 2010 (Configure Sync Settings)
SharePoint 2013 (Configure Sync Settings)
As I am illustrating here this is where you would differentiate between the two methods. By default we are setting this for FIM but if you choose to go with AD Direct you would set this at this location.
One additional thing to note here is that in the previous version we had to have Replicate Directory Changes set via Delegate Control in Active Directory. This is still a necessary step for either method you choose here.
Additional Note: Spence informed me that he recently put out an updated article that can be found here
<A Microsoft PFE's Note from the Field>
So in my day to day SharePoint support endeavors one of the classic cases that come in from time to time is customers trying to implement Kerberos into their Farms. One of the issues I see pop up a lot is duplicate SPN's.
The classic method (via the command line) is to run the following command to create an SPN:
Setspn –a http/<FQDN or Netbios Name> Domain\usercredential
For example Setspn –a http/connect.sharepoint.com sharepoint\content1
This would create an SPN to be used to create a valid Kerberos ticket for the http/connect.sharepoint.com site. Easy stuff here and you can verify this by going into ADSIEdit and open the properties for the Content1 Service Name.
But how do we get the issue with Duplicate SPN's. Usually this comes down to poor planning before you turn on your computer. Say as an example (and one I see often) you didn't think this through and plan your AuthN properly. Or say you just made a simple "FatFinger" or had a "Brain Cramp"… it happens. For illustration purposes lets go with the idea that you created the above mentioned SPN but for some reason you tried to run the Setspn command again using a different account. Voila! that's where we are in trouble. In my example I created two SPN entries pointing to the same site but I used two different service accounts. SPContent and SPContent1. As you can see in the screenshot below I get an Event ID 11 thrown which if you can read the text is basically telling me exactly what I need to know to go forward and fix the issue.
So is there a way to verify this before I go and run the command? Absolutly. If you enter the command Setspn –x you will get a list of any duplicates that exist in your environment.
Let's take this one step further and combine both the –A and the –X into a single FatFinger Proof method of creating our SPN's
Operation ABORTED!!! So if we look at the above output were shown the same information as the Setspn –x but we are also combining this with the ability to add an SPN. In both of these outputs you can clearly see that in my demonstration I tried to create an SPN for the same site http/connect.sharepoint.com but I used separate accounts. Also note that I can use the same account for multiple hosts if I so choose.. in this case im using Spcontent1 for both http/connect and http/my.
So in a perfect world when you are doing this work and you don't have any duplicates you can use either the setspn –x initially to see if any duplicates exist or do what I always do… use the setspn –s and cover everything in one sweep. In the above example if there were no duplicates the process would successfully finish and presto chango you have your SPNs created
Hope this helps someone out there J Cheers!
One question I get asked a lot from customers is around patching their SharePoint environments. In general you were always able to install the bits on all your servers in any order you felt like going.. the real question or issue I have found is the completion step which is running the Configuration Wizard. Some customers went so far as to run the installer to load the bits on their boxes but may have only run the Configuration Wizard on one box… or in some cases maybe in a larger farm they simply omitted a box.. this puts your environment at risk.
In SharePoint 2010 I still like to hit my main server that's running CA first with Config Wizard (or PSCONFIG if you choose that method) But there is nothing stopping you from going to the other boxes and kicking off the Config Wiz while the other is running…. What will happen is that the other boxes will go into a locked state for the upgrade. Once one box completes the others will in sequence of starting the Config Wiz run through the 10 step upgrade. As you can see in the screenshot below this particular box is waiting for the lock to release to continue.
The one real take away I need to make is to ensure in a multi-server environment you run this on each server.
Building a brand new SharePoint 2010 Environment? Want to decrease some of the time for making sure your environment is up to date with regards to versioning? Slipstream your build.
In the following section I am going to detail how I build my slipstreams… there are other posts out there that will be similar and may even include shortcuts such as posting the bits directly to the update folder but I like to be a little more hands on and in reality it does not take a lot of effort.
New Environment
Download the SharePoint 2010 RTM Bits (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/ee388573)
I shorten the name of the downloaded file before I begin to something like SP10.exe and SFSSP1 this will make it a bit easier on the typing.
Download the SP1 Bits.
Although technically not necessary I will still download and incorporate both the SharePoint and the SFS SP1 Bits into my slipstream.
Same as with the RTM bits… I will shorten the names of these files to help with typing. SFSP1.exe and OFFSP1.exe
Download the CU's
Lets get busy
So this was the hardest part of the operation. What I do next is create four folders and extract the bits for each into them.
SP1 – Folder names OFFSP1 SFSSP1
Command I run: sp1.exe /extract:c:\OFFSP1 (where sp1.exe is the renamed executable and OFFSP1 is the folder I created and am extracting to.
Sfssp1.exe /Extract:c:\SFSSP1
I will do this for the Cumulative Updates as well.
Once this is complete the SharePoint 2010 Installation folder has a folder called updates. I am simply going to copy and paste the contents of each of the folders I extracted directly into Updates.
This concludes the Slipstream procedure. Once complete you can go forth and install. Your environment will be up to date and you wont have to go through the process of individually installing patches and then remembering if you hit every server in the process… It happens (unfortunately very often)
Additional reference information can be found here at my buddy Spence's site http://www.harbar.net/archive/2011/06/30/327.aspx
Came across this today. My buddy Ryan Campbell wrote up a nice piece that i felt could use some more exposure.
Virtualization, the SAN and why one big RAID 5 array is wrong
Have a read... its a goodunn
In my day to day work as a PFE I engage quite often with customers with sessions on Upgrading to SharePoint 2010 or performing SPRAPs (SharePoint Risk Assessment Program) on environments. When performing either of these I tend to come across a lot Configuration DB Orphans. When running the command stsadm –o Preupgradecheck on a MOSS 2007 (SP2) environment you may see the following output
Failed : Orphaned site collections
An orphaned site collection is a site collection exists in the content database, but it is not in the configuration site map. Such site collections is not accessible and will not be upgraded properly.The follow orphaned site collections where found
This further goes on to tell you how to fix the issue in the next line you would see in the output report:
Try detaching and re-attach the content databases to fix the orphaned site collections.
SO you may ask…. Well how did I get these orphans anyway and how will they affect my upgrade. To answer the upgrade question it shouldn't. Why you may ask? Because now you have more than enough information to correct this issue before you even attempt the upgrade J. To be perfectly honest the only way I can see this really causing an issue is if you do an In Place upgrade because the vanilla In Place we are not taking our detatching our databases and reattaching them over to a new farm (A much preferred method btw).
To answer the question on how did they get there….. well there could be a number of reasons why this happened. Duplicate URLs or Duplicate Host Headers not being in the site map. It could also be something as simple as a site deletion that occurred within a site collection that may have shown that it was deleted when the site owner made the change but tossed an error in the end…. You're left with a site that is still registered within in the SharePoint Config DB but not something that you can see or open. Were left with something I call a ghost URL.
The takeaway here is twofold. First off it's not difficult to clear this flag. And when you are looking at performing an upgrade you really want to make sure the Preupgradecheck reports back clean. Take the time to deeply analyze this report and start actively correcting the issues found. Once you clear errors re-run the Preupgradecheck to see if the changes are reflected. I have done upgrade talks where we spend half a day just going through this report and then come up with a plan for mitigation.

hello greeting them with peace of the Lord Jesus Christ
I'm from Paraguay, South America just to say that strength and continue so are a group espetacular make good music and the lyrics of their songs are espetaculares conosco recently that this band but I fell in love with this band because they are so original and amazing and I was disappointed by what happened with TIM and I hope the band does not disintegrate and continue so seriously and while Tim can not make an album instrumental to get Tim out of jail and I send a hug and many blessings to all are the better his music is part of my life and I will die with her
greetings to nick, jordan, tim, josh and phil
\ m / (* _ *) \ m / AS I LAY DYING -
Whether it's true or not we have to support it, because there is no one who does not err, that's real good. There is no proper perfection in humans, we are all like sheep without a flock, and only the truth can save us from the creator.
I believe that many lives have been achieved through the songs of As i lay Dying, and it's time to get back up and restore again, and all the band's already shown that it has power to it, which, however, are not alone, use this force.
For Tim, leave the following message: Nothing can stop you if the power of God is in you, try not to get "paralyzed", can still create "a great foundation." -
hooo dear tim, how this happen?, if be a trap or not, know that I wait the best for you broder, stop this obsessions with body, eat natural foods only, just a good health is enough, don't lost the equilibrium, with the help of Lord, don't be self sufficient, God bless you man, and everybody of the band, thanks for the wonderfull music, that is rare, a oasis in a desert of lies,,, a boat in anodyne sea, a bless in the metal world so stupid and arrogance some&many times, is not easy carry the cross and follow the master of masters, like a brasilian said one time in the documentary "waste land" the fight is hard but the victory is right (right mean certainty in this language) certainty of victory of truth over lie and of life over death,,, here is a brasilian that learn a few of english because of As I Lay Dying, Shalom...
Be strong in the Lord. Beware the leaven of the pharisees. Be humble and open to what comes. Remember, bitterness corrupts the container that carries it. Vain pride comes before a fall. The man who thinks he knows everything is blind to how vast knowledge is. Let the peace that passes all understanding guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. You are in my prayers.

Matthew 21:6-11 So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them. They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them. And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:
"Hosanna to the Son of David!
'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!'
Hosanna in the highest!"
And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, "Who is this?" So the multitudes said, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee."

"Mouth-watering bacon and water chestnut appetizer, covered with a savory sauce and baked." — Julie
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
16 ounces sliced bacon
2 (8 ounce) cans water chestnuts, drained
YUMMY!!! To cut down on the mess, I wrap the chestnuts and THEN pour the sauce over them (careful not to get too much of the sauce on the toothpicks...makes for guests' sticky hands!) Also, I don't cook the sauce prior and it's fine in texture and taste. I do cook the wrapped chestnuts for about 1/2 hour before putting the sauce on them though. I've taken these to several get togethers and they've always been a hit!
Definitly not what I was expecting. I followed the directions exactly and they certainly didn't taste like any bacon-wrapped water chestnuts I'd had before. Very thick and sticky ketchup flavor. None of my guests seemed to like them either. I won't be making these again, sorry.
97 Ratings
delicious, great cold too! don't eat too many! the best way to get the most out of this recipe is to cut the bacon once lengthwise and once widthwise so you get 4 pieces out of each strip of bacon, instead of 3 strips like the recipe says. then, cut each water chestnut in half, so you get 2 half-moons. i only used one can instead of 2. delicious!
This recipe was a HUGE hit at a recent party. They were gone in a matter of minutes. I was in a pinch for time so I cut some corners. I microwaved the sauce, cooked the bacon and water chestnuts in the oven for 30 min., then added the sauce and microwaved for another 3-5. It was easy and YUMMY!
I also make these, but cut the bacon into 3rd's, then wrap the chestnuts and secure with a toothpick. THEN bake them until done, and drain all the grease. Just before the guests arrive, I pour our favorite bbq sauce on them and bake again until the bbq sauce is a little sticky. Enjoy!
Big hit! Wow these went fast. As the bacon cooks, the sauce turns into a thick yummy goo. I only needed half the sauce, which I dabbed on w/a BBQ brush. Use bacon thicker than Oscar Mayer, which tends to tear during the wrapping process.
Wonderful, Wonderful. I served these for a get-together we had & ended up back in the kitchen making more. Don't use thick slice bacon tho, it doesn't work well. Thanks Julie.
My otherwise picky family ate ALL of them. Huge hit at a party. I added one tsp of soy sauce to the recipe. I cut the water chestnuts in half since each was the size of a walnut from the can. I also cut each strip of bacon into four pieces (vertically so 3 cuts across of equal size) and each was the perfect size to wrap the half water chestnut. I used the tip to cook first then drain some fat after about 15 min. Then I added the sauce and cooked for about 45 more min, definitely needed a longer cook time. Delicious!

Very nice restaurant with a great view of the Inner Harbor. Visited for Mother's Day brunch and everything was exceptional. The mimosas were good they just didnt bring them around fast enough for us :) Our waitress slightly insulted us when she told us the brunch was very expensive and we may not want it. Ummm miss $47 may be expensive to you but not to us; that's why we are here. That was the only hiccup in the whole dining experience. I would definitely return.
This is one of the few big brunch buffets left. Selection was awesome. Completely blew away the so-so Easter brunch we had a month ago at Pazo.
The view was beautiful. The atmosphere of it all was great. But there was so little dining options to chose from. And no sides.
My family and I dined here for dinner July 4 because of the proximity to the Inner Harbor and fireworks display. The view is great and we very much enjoyed it. We were also happy with the taste and presentation of our food, to include the kids' meals. Our server was in training so the service was slow, but she did the best she could. The dining area did get a bit loud as it filled up, but we were willing to overlook that because of the view.
Had a great $15 Crab Cake and soup lunch with a window view of the harbor. Could not have been nicer.
we had the 3-course Restaurant week dinner menu, which offered a great range of choices to cover all preferences . All 3 of us had the seared scallops( with heavenly risotto and citrus). These were some of the best scallops I have EVER had- cooked to perfection! The beet salad was also incredible, but I thought the name was misleading. It did have some pickled beets, but beets was not what I would have considered the focal point. But it was delicious, nevertheless! We all opted for the same dessert again, too- the salted caramel chocolate cake. Heavenly!!!! The wine list was a fair range (nothing good for dessert however) and the prices within restaurant norms. The view over the Inner Harbor was magnificent!!!!!!!
The atmosphere was perfect. We sat at a table right at the window. Service was superb. My date and I shared the mussels, which were to die for. I had the Salmon and he had the Rockfish which were also absolutely amazing. The chef came out and we spoke for a bit and praised him on a fantastic meal. Excelent!!!
A family member was in town for a conference at the Renaissance, so we met up at 11am on a Saturday. We asked for a window table, and only had to wait a few minutes. We were offered our choice of either the breakfast buffet or the lunch menu. Three of us had the buffet - delicious and plentiful, with a lot of variety (the mango smoothie "shooters" were amazing!) One in our group ordered from the lunch menu and had the Watertable salad with a crab cake. She said it was the best crab cake she'd had in a long time, and the salad was divine. Service was friendly, atmosphere was relaxed. We would highly recommend Watertable.
Nice menu and great service! We couldn't get a table at the window but no problem because the harbor is visible from all points in the dining room. We had a great server with excellent suggestions. Would go again.

Health and safety concerns
SPRING VALLEY — Residents of Spring Valley seemed more confident about the safety of the Bassicks property after Wednesday's public health and safety meeting, but they now are raising questions about the neighboring Hobbs property.
Alderman Walt Marini gave the packed house an overview of what has happened at the Bassicks property through the years. Everything started after the Bassicks property was shut down and the city went to the then-owners, Honeywell-Hobbs, and asked the organization find out if the property could be available for development.
Honeywell-Hobbs responded by saying that if the city pursued it, then they would close the Hobbs facility.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CaroGold Must have!
I wore my son in a Moby for three months straight everyday for hours on end. He was a very colicky baby and skin time he got while he was in the Moby instantly calmed him. I especially love that he can be wrapped so that his head is covered (he can breath and look out the side) but it simulated darkness to calm him even when we were in busy streets or traveling. The Moby got me through my first few flights with him. I have several carriers and, to me, this is the most comfortable because the cloth evenly distributes weight across your shoulders rather than having shoulder straps digging in all day. To people who worry about how complicated the wrap is, I say give it an honest try for a week. I was also skeptical but after a week it took only a few seconds to put it on. You really get the hang of it. It is definitely worth practicing.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Bebo Too long, too many steps, practice before you buy
When I was pregnant I thought the Moby would be my carrier of choice. Everyone raves about it, and moms seem Goddess-like carrying their babies around. I quickly learned that there was no way to put it on alone without it dragging on the floor. Yuck. I also tired of all the steps required to get it on and off. My baby was in, my baby was out, the Ergo was one or two clicks, and the Moby was an entire Tai Chi formation. I'm all for holding your babies close. Use a carrier, use many. If you have some friends with kids, borrow theirs to see what works for you before you commit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by stylesavvymommy Must-have for the first few weeks!
So glad I had this for my newborn! Took a few tries to feel comfortable tying it but my son loved being in it. Knowing he was cozy and letting my hands be free made tasks like grocery shopping a breeze!
May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 Moby is great for newborns
I've tried them all!! This is one of the top three carriers that I would recommend. I used this with my son from birth to 4 months. He loved it! I would put him in it and vacuum the entire house, do dishes, laundry and yard work. He would sleep safe and sound the entire time. Babies love being that close to their momma's when they're that small. The Moby is great because you can get a snug fit between you and your baby. The Moby requires some assistance the first few times that you put it on but after that you should be able to handle it on your own. I also highly recommend the Ergo for baby wearing post 3 or 4 months old.

Rated 4 out of 5 by emarsh great for newborn
i used this carrier everyday for the first few months of my daughters life. once you get used to putting it on, its soo comfy & kept my baby so snuggled - she would fall asleep on walks. i could run errands so easily & be hands free (it felt like i was still pregnant since she was so snug & happy)
ooonlyyy drawback is it can make you kinda hot in summer months
March 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maman1013 Works well with a C-Section
In those early weeks, when the baby wants to be close to you but you really just want to get the dishwasher emptied, the Moby is a lifesaver! It was also ideal with my C-Section because I could tie it high on my belly. It takes a little practice to learn the wraps but I got it down quickly. I even worked out a couple times doing lunges and squats while wearing baby! My little guy is heavy so we outgrew this quickly, it just didn't have the support of the Ergo.
March 21, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by swy54 Comfortable but so hard to use.
My baby (and me, sometimes) was very comfortable in this wrap, but it takes forever to get baby in and out. If your baby falls asleep, forget about taking him out and putting him down still asleep!
There is definitely a learning curve to using this wrap, but once you get it, it's very comfortable. It's a lot easier than a traditional front carrier to move around and do things too. This color faded a little in the wash and is a little thick (because it's organic?) so I would go for a thinner, softer one. The thickness made it harder to get baby in, and also it gets very warm in there. Also, looks bulky when you have it on so it's not very flattering on mommy.
March 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by AmySFMom So sweet!
I carried my daughter every where in this the first few months of her life. Such sweet memories! I know lots of parents get pretty flustered trying to use the Moby for the first time. I had someone in a local store show me how to use it once, and that's all it took. I think it's really confusing if you don't see someone do it, so I recommend having someone at Giggle or another store show you how to do it, or watch a YouTube video about it. The Moby was one of the best infant products I had and I am grateful for the close bodily contact it gave me and my daughter, as well as the chance for me to carry her around so I could get some chores done!

When Beacon Council CEO Frank Nero sat down to meet with Miami-Dade Commissioner Lynda Bell in her Palmetto Bay office, the session did not go well.
"He wouldn't even look at me,'' Bell said Friday, recounting the meeting where Nero objected to her plan for reworking the tax-funded group's arrangement with Miami-Dade. She said Nero at one point flung her proposal on her desk. "He was extremely rude. I was a little taken aback."
The encounter, confirmed by one other participant, helped fuel events that led to Nero's ouster Friday from his post as head of Miami-Dade's official economic-development agency. His abrupt exit came after a string of private and public dust-ups with elected leaders throughout the county, from congressional offices in Washington to the mayor's office in downtown Miami, according to internal emails and interviews with board members and others close to the nonprofit.
Nero was not available for an interview Friday, but issued a statement that read in part: "After close to 17 years at The Beacon Council, clearly it is time to do other things. The growth of Miami-Dade County as an international business center has been gratifying."
His exit came after a closed-door meeting Friday morning by the business executives who make up the nonprofit's board. One director said Nero was given a choice of resigning with six months' severance from his $390,000-a-year position or be dismissed with a three-month severance package. Nero agreed to resign, effective Friday.
Robin Reiter, a former Beacon Council chairwoman and a longtime leader in the city's philanthropic circles, will take over as part-time CEO at $12,000 a month. The Beacon Council plans a national search for Nero's replacement, and Reiter said Friday she does not want the job.
"My role will be to be the glue that keeps everyone together. They are a wonderful group of professionals,'' she said in an interview before her first meeting with Beacon staff. "Frank built a fabulous institution."
Nero's departure marked a sharp turnaround from a board who in August extended his contract for three years, and brings to an end a role that had Nero as Miami-Dade's primary economic ambassador since the 1990s.
In the last year, he presided over a year-long study called One Community One Goal, which ended with a lengthy report that seeks to map a blueprint for the county's economic growth. And in the group's annual report, the Beacon Council touted a year in which the group said it assisted businesses in adding 2,000 jobs in Miami-Dade, including an incentive package for Univision's new cable network with ABC in Doral.
"I do believe Frank Nero did a wonderful service for our organization and for the community,'' said Joe Pallot, the general counsel of Heico and the current volunteer chairman of the Beacon Council.
Pallot presided over months of internal drama as Nero's critics inside and outside the Beacon Council maneuvered to remove him. Fueling the revolt were signs that elected leaders crucial to the Beacon Council's public dollars had grown tired of the former New Jersey politician's hard-charging and sometimes abrasive persona.
In August, an aide to Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen wrote county officials that he was "taken aback" by a Nero letter to the Republican congresswoman. The subject was a global aviation show the Beacon Council wanted to hold at the Homestead air base but which the Pentagon had rejected as too cumbersome for the facility.

Department for Apprehension and Protection of the Paranormal, Extadimensional and Reanimated
D.A.P.P.E.R personnel Files.
You think you are alone. You think the shadows hold only muggers, robbers and pinstripes. You are wrong. You may not see them, but they live amongst you. You may not hear them, but they are in the airwaves. You may not smell them, but that's... That's most likely because you have a cold. The truth is that our dimension, PRIME we call it, is only one of many. Our world is the hub of countless of nasty, devilish and wondrous beings
Welcome to the real world recruit. We are The best dressed, the best trained and the most mannered of all Hunters.
What is a Hunter you ask?
Hunters are just that, hunters. Only our prey aren't bears and deers, no we hunt krakens and rakshasas. We at DAPPER apprehend dangerous, Reanimated criminals and protect endangered species such as pixies from extinction. We make sure nobody ever reads the Necrocomicon or the real black bible. We are the first line of the defense against the unnatural, the uncanny and the downright unsavory.
Dapper was founded 1920 by Lord Elmster in England. Back then it was simply a small group of loyal subjects under the crown hunting down that would threaten the Queens subject. During the first world war, the organization started to branch out into allied countries as rumors of fhouls stalking the french and belgian trenches. The organization soon grew even bigger as it was becoming evident that the threat was larger then anticipated. At the end of World War 1, D.A.P.P.E.R was inoffically named and their HQ located from England to the United States as a bombed and starving London had become ground zero for all kinds of nasty creatures. The Organization could not afford to be destroyed by the very thing they hunted. The founders sons moved to states as well, starting to properly reorganize it into the Department it is now. Officially a thing that doesn't exist, they act under vows of utter secrecy, protecting everyone from a threat worse then the machines and guns of mortals.
Below, you will find the Agents Handbook, it will tell you a bit about what to expect as a Agent.
Good Luck Agent,
Operation Tombstone
Operative, as you are reading this, you have been chosen to participate in Operation Tombstone.DAPPER confirmed 3 seprate yellow threats on the day of July 22nd, 1955,
At 14:00 exactly, the old Western town of Tombstone saw potential Extra-Dimensional activity. A demon of the Hellish realm sat fire to a infirmiry treating the city Mayor. At
15:00, the local gravedigger was encased in spiderweb, alive but shaken. The third was yet another hour later, a revenant attacked the man who cheated on his wife while he
was alive. All these events we believe have been summoned by something or someone. The town has seen a spike in several different readings. It is your duty to investigate
and contain whatever is causing this.
American Director of D.A.P.P.E.R
Joseph Kolhan
First come first Serve, provided I like what you write. The team will only have one Handler, and one Psychic. I will step away from taking either position, as that would be unfair. The rest of us will play D-level Operatives.
Don't all gun for straight up combat roles, a team needs expertise, not Rambo II
Normal Advanced rules apply.
Have fun, don't hesitate to ask me anything.

Ex-Samsung chairman convicted of tax evasion
A South Korean court on Wednesday found former Samsung Group Chairman Lee Kun-hee guilty of tax evasion and sentenced the former executive to a three-year jail sentence, according to an Associated Press report.
But Lee will not be going to jail at this point, since his prison sentence was suspended for five years. Prosecutors had been seeking a seven-year prison sentence.
Lee, however, will have to pay a fine of 110 billion won, or $109 million, as restitution for the tax evasion conviction. Prosecutors had been seeking substantially more--a fine of 350 billion won, or $347 million. Lee is the … Read more

BOSTON ( MainStreet) In September, workers from fast food chains in more than 60 cities across the nation went on strike to push for a wage increase to $15 an hour.
Many of those opposing the move have warned that such a wage increase could cost consumers, who would wind up being hit with a price bump on their burger. But it turns out Americans are already paying a high price to cover for the flat wages of fast food workers.
At least, that is the conclusion that can be drawn from two reports showing workers in the fast food industry rely heavily on public assistance to make ends meet at more than twice the rate of the overall workforce.
More than half (52%) of the families of frontline fast food employees are enrolled in one or more public assistance programs such as Medicaid, food stamps and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, costing taxpayers up to $7 billion dollars a year, according to the report issued by the University of California at Berkeley's Labor Center .
Of those fast food workers enrolled in public assistance, nearly half are full-time. The states paying out the most in public assistance are California and New York, where $717 million and $708 million are spent each year, respectively.
"The paper is indicative of larger issues in the economy," said UC-Berkeley economist Sylvia Allegretto, co-chairwoman of the Center for Wage and Employment Dynamics and co-author of the report. "Corporate profits are highest on record, and workers' salaries are at a 50-year low."
The report also found that despite the traditional perception of the typical fast food worker as a teenager, two-thirds of them are in fact adults over the age of 20 and only a quarter of them minors. Additionally, the report revealed that 68% of these adult workers are the breadwinners for their household, yet a staggering 87% of them get no health benefits from their employer. This might explain why the largest expenditure in public assistance spent on fast food workers by far is Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program, which accounts for $3.9 billion annually.
The second report, released by the National Employment Law Project , zeroes in on the costs of public assistance as associated to specific fast food chains.
Minimum Wage Should Actually Be $14 an Hour if You Want Basic Economic Security
NELP reports that nearly half, or $3.8 billion, of the $7 billion annual price tag of public assistance for fast food workers is spent on employees at 10 of the largest fast food companies in the country, including McDonald's , Burger King , Wendy's and Yum! Brands (which owns Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and KFC).
Fast food workers from McDonald's accounted for the highest share of public assistance funds, at $1.2 billion a year. At the same time, a NELP analysis of data from the financial firm Standard & Poor's found that the 10 companies they outlined in their report made $7.4 billion in profits last year.

Our family that includes adult aged children enjoyed this. Great sights with great commentary from our guide, Troy. Saw plent of birds and alligators enliven though in the off-season. Easy paddling for sure.
I feel like I am either really easy to please or I just seem to have a lot of good luck when selecting hotels, restaurants and excursions. But on second thought...I (and my husband) always consult Tripadvisor when planning our getaways. Once again it paid off. We enjoyed our kayaking excursion followed by an airboat tour.
