Who's ready for a shortblog on Bastion and a bit of a fireside chat? I hope you are! Let me start with the chat part. The big theme? How's everyone doing?

To be honest, life has been absolutely insane over the past few weeks, and it is only getting crazier. I'm going to be moving to the D.C. area in a matter of days, a move that I found out about a mere couple of days ago. Stressful? Yes. Potentially ruinous financially? Oh yeah. Awesome? Thankfully, yes.

Why should you care? Well, for one, I need to apologize that the craziness has kept me away from you, and might do so again for a little while. I have so much that I've been meaning to do: bring back a weekly community recap, start some new cool things in the blogs, etc. I'm incredibly thankful that the good Sir Mr Andy Dixon Man is awesome and has been helping out the blogs so much in my stead. But at the risk of you thinking that I'm all talk, I want you to know that I have a lot of things in store.

I also want to ask you how everything is going. Yes, you. I want to make sure to keep up a constant dialogue regarding what you want out of the blogs. It's less about system upgrades (though if you have a great idea let us know that too) and more about what kind of content you most like seeing, and what sort of fun things we can provide for you. How awesome was the Community CREATE? Do you want more of that? Want some cool discussion based things from us? Tell us what you like to read, and then we'll also be sure to try to provide content that you like and encourage others to create the same kind of stuff.

Also, sorry about those travel blogs. Tricky bastards.

Anyway, I do want to talk about videogames a bit too. More specifically, videogame. Even more specifically, Bastion, which I've enjoyed quite a bit. After finishing my first playthrough, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed in the whole "narrator" thing, and falling off of the world happened a few more times than I could really tolerate, but you can't deny that the game had some awesome character, incredible music, and was simply fun.

It also had the best approach to difficulty that I've experienced in a long time.

If you've yet to play the game, here's a little description of how the difficulty works. I can't imagine that this could be considered a spoiler, but if you're super sensitive to that sort of thing, I guess you could stop reading.

The game creates an added challenge by allowing you to activate the power of various deities. Each deity has a specific effect: one deity makes enemies regenerate health, while another makes them drop explosives when they die. Each deity also provides a nice experience and currency bonus to you. Want it to be insane? Activate every single god's power and get wrecked.

This is awesome for a number of reasons. Most obviously, it gives the player direct control over the difficulty rather than the indirect control afforded by most "hard" modes. Because of this, you can make the game more difficult in the way you want it to be difficult. Want smarter/harder enemies without a bunch of fuss? Go for it. Want crazier options like enemies that randomly turn invulnerable? Do that instead. You can make it just a little harder by turning on one option, way more difficult by activating them all, or anything in between.

I think my favorite part of this system, however, is the fact that it puts an actual reason behind each difficulty increase. It tells the player exactly what is going to become more difficult and exactly how the game will reward you. I like to know what I'm getting in to when I'm increasing a game's default difficulty; if I'm just going to end up hitting dudes thirty times more than normal in order to defeat them, I'd like to know ahead of time so I can break my fingers instead.

So, where does difficulty go from here? Can a system like this be improved? Are you crazy and prefer traditional difficulty levels?

Love you all

 tag:destructoid.com,2008:200846Threat Level Jerkface: How to Survive a Douchepocalypse2011-05-10T21:43:50Z2011-05-10T21:43:50Z

Today was what we might refer to as a "hot mess."

Normally, we'll see a spam blog or two per day, and maybe a harmless failblog or two. Today, it was a perfect storm of fail. The fails piled up like a stack of dino droppings, and not even the world's largest shovel could clean it all up. While the fail might be gone now, the scars will remain.

I hope that this never happens again, but the sad fact is that this has happened before, and it will happen again. It's not something that anyone can prevent, at least not without us turning into a site that frankly no one wants us to turn into. Destructoid gives users freedom, but when you violate that freedom so heinously, we'll come for you.

So, when the next hot mess happens, or what we can also refer to as a next douchepocalypse, what should we do? How can we survive? Well, follow along as I create a survival guide for the douchepocalypse from the top of my head in record time.

1. Don't panic

Yeah, the douchepocalypse is frightening. The spam, the idiots, and the trolls might number so great that it seems deliverance would be impossible. Perhaps your good blog has been bumped down to the bottom or, heaven forbid, the next page. Shitty, I know. But the worst thing you can do is freak out. Keep your cool and know that we're coming to clean up the mess.

2. Avoid calling for bans publicly

Spammers should be deleted. Jerkfaces should be banned. No doubt about that. But calling for them to be banned on the site is going to make things worse, especially in the case of trolls. It just gives them more reason to post more, screw up your own blogs, and come after you personally. We'd much rather have them bitch and moan at us and call us dicks. Community members don't deserve that shit.

Instead, just get in contact with someone. Follow me on Twitter and let me know if a situation is developing. Email me and let me know that someone's being a dick. Let Hamza know if I'm not responding, since my day job keeps me away from a compy most of the day. And, yeah, tell us to ban them. We'll do it, and hard.

3. Don't take shit

I'm not sure how often this really happens, but one thing I'm not going to stand for is people privately attacking (or publicly, for that matter) users of this site. If anything happens like that and it isn't visible to everyone, or if it is but I obviously haven't seen it, tell me. I'm not going to allow people attacking members of this site. Ever.

4. Don't let it scare you away from the blogs

It's easy to see a blog roll full of spam and think "Holy shit, if I post something now, it'll be buried forever. Guess I won't post at all." Please, please don't do this. If we don't have the great blogs that go up daily, even in the midst of a bunch of fail, then we've got nothing left. The terrorists have won. So by all means delay your blog until we've had a chance to clean up, but (and this goes back to not panicking) don't let incidents like today steer you away from posting blogs. If you post something great, it's going to get recognized. If you feel like a blog didn't get a fair chance because of a douchepocalypse, let me know.

5. Be excellent to each other. And party on, dudes.

In other words, just keep doing what you do. Laugh at a day like this, flip the bird in its general direction, and continue being awesome. Look at a day like this as another great reason to write your own stuff on Dtoid and keep the blogs awesome. Keep commenting on the great blogs and fapping like your life depends on it (it does; my grandmother told me so). Ignore the shit publicly, tell us about it, and we'll nuke it as soon as humanly possible.

As a last note, I'm sorry days like this happen. I really am. It's not fair to anyone on the site, especially the people who have written something that day that's actually worth reading. If you ever have any concerns at all, don't hesitate to email me, pm me, tweet me, whatever.

 tag:destructoid.com,2008:199276C blog cheat codes: Getting your opinion on the front page2011-04-20T18:10:10Z2011-04-20T18:10:10Z

Hey community writer people types! Its time for another C blog cheat codes post. Looking to get some awesome writing done? Heres a great place to look for that little bump thatll get your writing from awesome to slightly more awesome.

Today, our topic is topics. Namely, whats going to help you get your preferred topic on the front page, and how should you choose that topic? How are you going to get your point across?

Not every blog on Destructoid is an editorial (or opinion piece, if you prefer), but these sorts of pieces come naturally to a lot of us since theyre so damn fun to write. Rant for a while about what I think? Have a bunch of cool people read and care about what I say? Score!

So, if youre looking to write something else, go for it. But if youve got that great idea for an opinion piece that you just havent written yet, linger for a spell. Lets have a chat.

Big head mode -- Pick something good to talk about

Yeah, I know what youre thinking. Of course what I have to say is good! Youre probably right. But just in the event that youre instead actually very very wrong, you might still want to read on.

The thing about good topics is that they come and go. What might be a good topic today might be totally outdated and useless a year from now. Hell, maybe even a week. There are a lot of ways that you can avoid this. Use this as a sort of checklist:

Is my topic timely? If your whole point is related to a big thing that happened months ago, Im willing to bet people have moved on.

Did someone beat you to it? Yeah, someone has probably already written something similar to your idea, but if you can find another post on the same thing in the blogs, best to try a new topic.

Do you actually have an interesting angle or approach? Yeah, Beyond Good and Evil is a cool game, but unless you have something new to say about why it is cool, maybe save that for your buddies who havent played a videogame ever.

Can you hold a readers attention for an entire blog with this topic? Yeah, Ive had to kill cool blog ideas too because I just didnt have enough to say. It hurts, but its for the best. Reevaluate your topic or leave it until later.

There are millions of other things that go into a good topic, so try this: keep track of which of your blog ideas get the best response. Your readers will tell you when you write something great. Or, check out other blogs that have been put on the front page. What did they do to make their topics awesome?

And hey, theres always the monthly musing!

30 lives -- Fully form your opinion and state it early

So, youre writing an editorial. Cool. Wait, what does that mean again?

Youre trying to get an opinion across, right? Youre trying to explain why you think that Dragon Ball is better than Dragon Age. Awesome. So that blog you just titled, The thing about games with Dragon in the title has words in it and all, but apart from that, its kind of shit. Hows that for an opinion?

Before you even start writing, be sure you understand what you really think. Do you just want to write something about Dragon Age 2 because it just came out, or have you been thinking lately about how way cool the Dragon Ball universe is and how totally boring the Dragon Age universe is? Can you guess which of these is going to make a blog that people actually read? Take some time to actually think about your topic, and youll immediately see changes in how your blogs are received.

Of course, you cant forget to actually get people to understand why they should read your opinion, which is why a good title and first few paragraphs are so important. Yes, Ive passed up well-written blogs for promotion because they either had a crappy title or didnt say what the blog was about in the first few paragraphs.

Why? You have to understand the average reader. They want to know exactly what a blog is about just by reading the title (hell, sometimes they just look at the header image and stop there). If they get past that, youd better believe that theyll be looking to fully understand what your point is before they link through to the full post.

I hate to sound like a high school composition teacher, but your post needs a thesis. It doesnt have to read like a college term paper, and it doesnt have to outline the rest of your five paragraph essay. You just need to clue us in to what the hell your point is.

Infinite time -- Write a damn intro

Your post needs to be introduced. Theres no getting past this. This is true whether youre writing for the front page, writing for your dog Skippy, or writing for that little box under your bed where you keep your dreams. Why is your intro so important? Because most people wont read a word past it.

Yep, the sad thing about the Internet is that interest is lost faster than a leggy blondes virginity at summer camp. Youll never grab your readers attention if you just launch into this crazy ass rant about why Grasshopper should make the next Call of Duty game.

Every blog should have two or three paragraphs that do nothing aside from frame the topic, grab the readers attention, and get them into the full meat of your topic. Look at any editorial post on the front page. What do you see? Two or three paragraphs. What do they do? You get the idea.

It may sound like nitpicking, but I cant promote a post that doesnt have an intro. Its even just a logistics thing -- how am I supposed to convert your post into two separate parts: before the jump and after the jump? I cant write an intro for you, so Id have to just cut and paste the two first paragraphs before the jump. You can imagine how this could make a post seem disjointed, ugly, and unreadable. Bottom line? If I cant find a statement in the first few paragraphs that clearly gets across your point, its not going on the front page.

So write your intro with the front-page format in mind even though the blogs follow a single-page format. Not only does it help me promote your stuff, but it also encourages good intro-writing habits. Bottom line?

Level select -- Stay on topic, damn you

I hate to speak in generalizations, but Im going to say right now that a multiple-topic post is not going to make it to the front page. Are such posts bad? No, of course not. They just dont work on the front page. Ever.

So, if youre writing for the front page, make sure that youre following the chart you set for yourself in your intro. Sure, little digressions are fine, but you shouldnt start at Halo and end at how much you like drinking root beer with no pants on.

You might be compelled to say that you just dont have enough to say on one topic, but thats almost never true. Think about the last time you got into a really good verbal discussion on a game. How long do you think you went on about that? Yeah, now consider this: you were speaking that shit. No time to prepare, no time to pause and consider your next thought. Think then how much you could write about that topic. A lot.
Just keep in mind that a scatterbrained post is hard to read, and people want depth, not a bunch of dips in the shallow end.

Infinite money -- Make it look good

If your post is ugly, I dont want to bother fixing it for promotion, and no one will bother to want to read it anyway. For more on this, jump over here. Do that. Itll work.

Kill everything -- Be careful about series

So, you have a really cool idea for a blog series and you want every single one up on the front page. Easy, right? Yeah, not so much.

I love a really good series, but there are a few drawbacks to doing this. For one, the tendency is to subconsciously write as if everyone has already read the other entries in the series -- maybe you make a subtle reference to past writeups in the series or you dont fully explain what your point is because you assume its implied in the series. Ive written a lot of series pieces before, and Im talking about my own mistakes here.

So, keep a couple of things in mind if youre going to do a long series. First off, consider not using the series name in your titles. Instead, put it in a header image or just in the blog itself. This helps people approach it and not feel like theyve missed something. Of course, once you establish the series, having people identify its name can be a big help -- just dont expect them to all be on the front page even if theyre all awesome. Its just not feasible.

Next, just approach your writing style as if each piece is totally self-contained and not a part of a series at all. Sure, they might be in the same style and perhaps even about the same subject, but dont make people play catch up just to enjoy your post. Make sure any post stands on its own somehow.

So, what should you take away from all this? Basically, you want to make your blog engaging, original, well-formatted, and timely. Its easy enough to think youre doing all these things, but the best way to know for sure is to read. Read front page editorials, read promoted community posts, and really start to pick them apart. Why were they chosen for promotion? What is editor x doing that helps people enjoy his writing?

And, above all, just write. Write daily if you have to.

We've received a few requests recently from people who wanted to donate something to Jonathan Holmes after hearing that his place had been broken in to and a bunch of awesome stuff had been stolen.

No idea what I'm talking about? A few weeks ago, Holmes got home to find his place had been burgled. He lost some pretty awesome stuff: his PS3, Wii, his computer, his video camera, some rare games, etc. He posted a few things about it on his Twitter.

Over the past few days, we've received a few requests from people who wanted to send in some donations to help out. Let me be clear: no one is actually asking for donations. We all realize that there are many, many things for you to donate to right now. However, we also didn't want to ignore the people who kept requesting a way to chip in.

So, if you're one of those people, here's what you can do. Paypal allows you to make donations to an email address, so you can do so to mrdestructoid at gmail dot com. Just be sure to specify that it's for Holmes. We'll make sure all of it goes to him.

Why the hell would someone want to interview a bunch of people all the time? Yeah, stupid question, but it's that question that led me here today to present this interview to you, which is pretty contradictory if you think about it.

In any event, you know that guy who interviews community members? I think his name is LawofThermalPoopmatics or something. I'm about 38% certain that he's the guy to whom I sent a bunch of interview questions recently. Topics included racism, the results of the 2016 presidential elections of the United Republic of Earth, and mechanical dentistry. The answers were fascinating and enlightening, so I decided to keep those for a few years to myself and sell them for profit. What follows is a different set of questions. Please enjoy.

Kauza: To start off, remember that one time a bunch of community members sent a bunch of questions for you to answer? Should I ask those exact same questions in a slightly different order?

The Other Guy: Well I guess no, seeing as though I already answered them.

Now that we've acknowledged my unoriginality, let's talk about your originality. Interviewing community members is a pretty cool thing to do. But let's hear it from you -- why do it?

It was the community itself that made me want to do interviews. If I had to find an exact origin point I would say that a community member (and talented pianist) named AlphaDeus once wrote a blog detailing the pain and troubles in his life. It really opened my eyes that the people here were real, not just usernames and funny comments (Ignorant I know, but the anonymity on the internet really creates a distance between people) . They are also the most interesting people that I have ever met and it was because I wanted to get in contact with them that I started the interviews..

Tell us the story of how you came to Destructoid, but somehow incorporate a polar bear, two Lebanese prostitutes and a copy of The Rocketeer on DVD.

I was a researcher located in the North Pole studying mating habits of the Polar Bear when my satellite phone started ringing. Knowing only HQ had my number I picked it up expecting them to demand all the research I compiled so far. When I picked up the phone it was indeed HQ but instead of my research, they told me there was an emergency back home and I needed to rush to HQ as quickly as possible.

I arrived the next day to find the offices in shambles. It seems that for Faculty movie night, someone put in Rocketeer thinking it was a bio flick of Elton John. It was safe to assume that a riot by the employees tore the place apart.

They told me they needed something, but my mind already in Private Investigator mode, ignored them and went to the only reliable source I knew for shady operations such as the one I imagined myself to be in. Two Lebanese prostitutes. At first they played dumb and refused to tell me anything saying things like What are you talking about? and Youre crazy! but money opens all holes (Pun not intended) (Well it is now). They told me they once had a client who wore a robot helmet and that he ran an information website .of all sorts of shady dealings I assumed. Naturally I followed the trail to Destructoid. And I was never seen again.

Do you have a favorite interview that you've done? If you can't pick one, pick a couple.

Dammit, they all have their awesome moments, but if I had to pick a couple it would be Elsas because it was my first interview and because I couldnt ask for a better start. Getting to know Elsa was enlightening to say the least.

Conversely, did you ever try to do an interview that ended up just turning into a total disaster? If not, make up a story of the time you tried to interview me while I was hopped up on pop rocks and cola. Actually, do that anyway.

I may actually have an answer to the first half of that question. Guncannon still hasnt turned in an interview even though I sent one to him like 5 months ago. Still waiting on that one buddy.

As for part 2. Lets see

Once I tried to interview Andrew Kauz, but something was wrong as he was jittery, and his eyes were unfocused (I did this interview in person). I first thought drugs, but then realized who I was interviewing and instead settled on the more likely explanation of sugar and caffeine. I then asked him Hey, how about that Metal Gear?

The next thing I remember, I woke up halfway through Street Fighter The Movie with no recollection of the past 4 days and copies of the Metal Gear games and Kauzs writings all around me. And my wallet was gone.

Think you'll ever run out of people to interview? If so, what happens then?

My fear is that I wont be able to interview everyone because there are so many of them I want to interview. Ive resigned myself to the fact that I wont be able to do this forever and when that time comes Ill probably I dont know what Ill do but for now, I'd rather not think about it.

What's one question that you've always wished someone would ask you in an interview?

Q: Can a swallow carry a coconut?

What's the answer to the one question that you've always wished someone would ask you in an interview?

A: Depends on the swallow.

The Internet has many gifts to give. What's the greatest gift the Internet has ever given you?

The world.

Honestly, thanks to the internet I've come into contact with so many people with similar, dissimilar; stories, creativity, art, information, Destructoid, friends I've moved away from, friends I've met for the first time, humor, videos, music, funny pictures. Everything anyone in the world can think of at the tip of my fingertips.

If you could sum yourself up in one image you randomly find from a Google images search, what would that image be?

 tag:destructoid.com,2008:197574What's your favorite PC game?2011-03-30T09:05:05Z2011-03-30T09:05:05Z

Alienware has a cool community opportunity coming up for all of you -- something E3 related, if that gives you a good hint. So, how do you get involved? Great question.

If you want to be a part of this, start off by writing a C Blog about what your favorite PC game is and why. You can pick a specific game, a series, a genre -- whatever you think is best. Make sure to go into detail; don't just list it off and stop there. We need detail, images, and something interesting to read. Then, tag your post with the Alienware tag you see down under the "tag your post" drop down.

Next? Stay tuned, as an official announcement is coming soon. The mystery! The intrigue! What could it all mean?

Dr. Gentile is featured in
the book "The Beauty Makers."
( click on the book cover to read the chapter )
Dr. Herve` Gentile is one of the physicians with the nation's highest credentials. He has been named by Castle Connolly as one of America's Top Doctors and is included in the Best Doctors in America, the two reference guides of physicians elected by their peers. Having been nominated by his colleagues makes this recognition especially prestigious and rewarding. Dr. Gentile and his staff see patients from Texas and around the world.
A BETTER YOU Cosmetic Surgery and Laser Center offers the latest techniques and advancements in cosmetic surgery and non-surgical treatments in a new, modern, safe, private and environmentally friendly complex. It is conveniently located at 1102 Ocean Drive across from the Holiday Inn-Emerald Beach in Corpus Christi, Texas, the sparkling "City by the Sea."
Our Cosmetic Surgery and Laser Center is a complete in office outpatient cosmetic plastic surgery facility. It was planned and constructed to include the most current technology and equipment available. The surgery suite was designed for your comfort, convenience and privacy with all the safety features of a hospital location without the added expense and inconvenience of hospital care. It maintains the highest standards and is staffed by an outstanding anesthesiology group. We want you to feel cared for from the initial consultation through your pre and postoperative course.
A distinguishing factor is that our center is certified for general anesthesia to the highest standards by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities (AAAASF) as a Class C (the highest achievable class) and Dr. Herve` Gentile is committed to maintain "A CENTER OF EXCELLENCE".
We also have been accredited internationally by the SFR, the Surgery Facilities Resources, Inc., which means that we are a recognized accredited surgical facility globally and Dr Gentile is a member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
Men and women choose A BETTER YOU Cosmetic Surgery and Laser Center because our continuing dedication to quality patient care is the cornerstone of our practice. Dr. Herve` Gentile and his staff pride themselves on their ability to evaluate you individually and present honest, realistic expectations. This personalized attention enables you to make an informed and confident decision since the variety of medical, non-surgical and surgical options can be confusing. We encourage you to communicate your desires and we listen to your concerns. The goal is to restore a natural, harmonious and youthful non-plastic look with minimal detect ability. Since we offer both aesthetic medical treatments (nonsurgical) as well cosmetic surgery, you are placed in a position to choose the options most desirable and suitable for you.
From our front office staff to Dr. Herve` Gentile we set ourselves apart from the rest because of the genuine and compassionate relationship we develop with you.
We want to create a lifetime bond based upon frank communication warmth and trust.
We measure our success by the number of patients who have referred their family and friends to us.
In a recent Consumer Study women in the USA, between the ages of 21-60, were surveyed on their perceptions of various cosmetic medicine procedures. In an apparent reaction to the unregulated medical spa industry, almost 80% of women surveyed rated medical credentials as very important when choosing a cosmetic treatment provider. The explosion of the internet coupled with the advent of social networks and the numerous credible and non-credible available resources have all resulted unfortunately in a confused consumer patient. So it is up to you to distinguish between a plastic surgeon and others and research the values each one delivers.
The plastic surgery procedures described can improve your looks and make you feel good. They can help you look as young as you feel, provided that you are doing it for yourself and for the right reasons and that you have the right motivation and realistic expectations. Although cosmetic plastic surgery can have a positive impact on your life it is not a guarantee for happiness.
The ideal result is TO LOOK GOOD, which is a natural, healthy and beautiful look, not a "plastic" look.

Hailing from 36 nations, this third generation represents 28% of the year's 364 total selected startups and the program's most geographically diverse group yet.
After receiving over 570 applications during the third application period that ended in October, Start-Up Chile announces that 100 startup companies have been selected to be part of the world-recognized acceleration program's third generation. 40 of those 100 teams are comprised of a group of entrepreneurs from more than one country.
With arrival dates in either February or March of 2012, the 100 chosen startups (236 entrepreneurs) call more than 36 different countries home and represent a myriad of industries as well as many of the world's most prestigious educational institutions including the University of Pennsylvania, MIT, Stanford, Harvard, and the Monterrey Institute of Technology.
The top five most frequently represented countries are: USA, Chile, Argentina, India, and Brazil. This is the first time that Romania, Hungary, Peru, South Korea, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Sweden have had entrepreneurs participate in Start-Up Chile.
E-commerce is the most strongly identified industry (18% of the selected), which is then followed by Education (13%), IT & Enterprise Software and Social Media– both with 10%, and Mobile & Wireless (9%). Remaining categories include Clean Tech, Tourism, Natural Resources, and, among others, Biotech.
Jean Boudeguer, Start-Up Chile's Executive Director, says "entrepreneurs are looking towards Chile not just for the money, but for the abundant network of people that the program attracts. We've had a commendable number of success stories and are very proud that after conducting 3 rounds of applications, the energy is more alive than ever.

I accidentally gave this 5 stars (It is a good line from the show). However, I went back to the original show and the quote is wrong. It should be: "Relax Mom. It's NarcScent. Smells like weed. Tastes like weed. It ain't weed." That's "ain't", not "it's not".

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
US/TURKEY/ISRAEL - US welcomes Turkey-Israel talks to ease rift
Released on 2012-10-18 17:00 GMT
|2010-07-02 09:55:29
Friday, July 2, 2010
WASHINGTON - Agence France-Presse
The United States on Thursday welcomed secret talks by Israel and Turkey
to repair relations, saying its two allies have played a "valuable" role
by working together.
State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said the United States has
spoken with each country about their relationship, which was badly damaged
by a deadly Israeli raid on a Turkish aid flotilla of pro-Palestinian
"A relationship between Turkey and Israel is not only in the best interest
of the region, it ... supports our interests in the region as well,"
Crowley told reporters.
He said Turkey and Israel had often worked together in the past in what he
called a "valuable relationship."
"We certainly support this kind of dialogue that hopefully can help repair
the fractures that have existed in recent weeks and months," the spokesman
He did not elaborate on U.S. involvement. But a senior Israeli source
quoted in daily Haaretz said the White House had been directly involved in
pushing the talks, of which Israel's hawkish Foreign Minister Avigdor
Lieberman was not informed.
Ankara withdrew its ambassador, canceled military exercises and twice
denied use of its airspace to Israeli military aircraft following the raid
that killed eight Turks and an American citizen of Turkish descent.
The secret talks in Brussels came days before Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu visits Washington for a meeting with Obama, with whom
he has had rocky ties.

Contamination limited to trial coal gasification sitePUBLISHED: 08 Jul 2011 09:52:21 | UPDATED: 08 Jul 2011 11:02:22PRINT EDITION: 09 Jul 2011
A company that contaminated groundwater with cancer-causing chemicals will be banned from any future underground coal gasification activities in Queensland.
The Queensland government on Thursday ordered Cougar Energy to shut down its trial UCG plant near Kingaroy in southern Queensland.
The decision was made after the company was found to have contaminated groundwater at the site with cancer-causing chemicals, including benzene.
It took two months to notify government authorities of the incident, in breach of strict environmental rules.
The Department of Environment and Resource Management on Friday downplayed the risk for nearby landholders, saying the contamination was confined to the site.
Acting director general Terry Wall said the company would be forced to rehabilitate it, including decontaminating aquifers, and was facing court action over its activities.
Asked if authorities would ever again contemplate allowing Cougar to operate in Queensland, Mr Wall said: "Certainly not in respect of underground coal gasification."
Mr Wall said the department had formed a view that Cougar's risk management processes were lacking and it could not be trusted to continue operations.
He said there were no drinking water aquifers on the site, so that was not a risk, but the contamination had spread to an aquifer above the site's coal seam.
"There are a number of monitoring bores around the site and none of those indicate any movement of contamination beyond the site."
He defended the system the government uses to keep tabs on such projects but admitted that, alongside spot checks by more than 150 officers, it was up to companies to own up to any breaches.
The department has issued Cougar Energy with a summons accusing it of breaching operating permits by contaminating the site, and failing to promptly notify authorities.
He said it was up to individual landholders to decide if they would pursue compensation for any perceived negative effect on their properties.
Cougar Energy is expected to make a statement to the stock exchange on Friday.
Spokesman Len Walker said the company was yet to decide if it would appeal against the government's shutdown.
Independent MP Dorothy Pratt, who represents the south Burnett region where the Kingaroy trial operated, said the case should serve as a warning to other communities near UCG trial sites.
Two others are being operated in Queensland, using new technology to convert coal to gas using heat and chemicals.
Ms Pratt said new mining technologies should not be allowed in prime agricultural areas like the one at Kingaroy because the risks were simply too high.
"I don't believe, as yet, the technology is fool proof. There's never any guarantee. You can't give a 100 per cent guarantee that no contamination will occur and everything can be put back in place. Where there's good agricultural land these sorts of practices should never be undertaken."
She attacked the government's reliance on an honesty policy requiring companies to admit their own breaches.
"The government relies very heavily on the companies to report immediately when things go wrong and if they don't then the disaster that may occur could be catastrophic for people who live in that environment. It's up to the people to be vigilant."
In a statement to the stock exchange on Friday, Cougar Energy said it had not received a formal, amended environmental authority outlining the decision to shut down the Kingaroy site.
"Therefore the company is presently not in a position to assess the extent of the amendments or their implications," it said.
Cougar said the Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM) had made a decision on "flawed conclusions".
"Cougar Energy maintains that the Kingaroy project has not caused any environmental harm to the operating site, surrounding landowner properties nor the Kingaroy township. This is supported by DERM acknowledgement that contaminants have not been detected outside the Cougar Energy site.
"Cougar Energy is receiving legal advice in relation to the recent actions of DERM and the shutdown of the Kingaroy project in July 2010."
The Kingaroy trial was suspended in July last year, ahead of the decision on Thursday to permanently shut it down.

A Hole in One is always best when playing with your regular playing partners
2nd Hole in One
My first hole in one
First Ever
Posted: January 17, 2014
We were a little bit tired because of the hot sun in San Diego. I went up the tee box of the 16th hole (115 yards) at Carmel Highland Golf Resort. I hit my ball lightly and my ball was dropped on near the right side of the flagpole. One of the guys said "Your ball seemed to have gone beyond the hole." When we all arrived at the green I couldn't look for it. Another guy asked to me. "Did it go in the hole?" He had recorded 'Hole-in-One' 2 weeks ago. I looked inside the hole, my ball was in there. Oh my goodness! I couldn't believe it! I got the Hole-in-One!! Yes! It was my first Hole-in-One twelve years after I started playing golf! We all took commemorative photos and celebrated the fabulous achievement.
Another great day in Southern California. I just got my eighth hole in one and each and everyone has been with a Pro V1. I am sure that these are the only balls that you can make a hole in one with.

On 1/12/2014 I was playing # 4 (120 yard par 3) at The Links at Stoney Point in Greenwood S.C. I hit a sweet 8 iron it hit 8 foot in front of the pin, one bounce in the hole. My playing pardners were Mike Rutland Bill Hinson Tucker Nelson and Gary Nelson
After 43 years of playing golf, I finally got my first hole-in-one on January 1st, 2014. I was playing Arrowhead Country Club in Molalla, OR, with my regular group. Before we tee'd off that morning one of my playing partners said jokingly that this was going to be the best round of the year being January 1st and all. We approached the number 12 tee, my partner and I were up numerous strokes over the other team and they had already pressed the bet, so the two opponents double pressed the bet. As I walked to the tee I said to them that I was due and were they sure they wanted to do that, they, of course, laughed. I was first to hit and got up to the tee and hit my Titleist AP1 PW. The hole was playing 137yds that day. It was flying towards the pin, I said, it's going to be close...The ball hit about a foot behind the hole then sucked back into it. I was getting high 5's from all. I just couldn't believe it! And neither could they! When we got to the hole, I looked in and pulled out my Titleist #8 PRO V1. The hole was worth $36 per person. Unbelievable!
Posted: January 15, 2014
Picture a rainy day and a new driver in the bag. You've played quite well, bogey on the first hole due to a three put, then all pars until the sixth hole: an eagle! You drive was beyond far and the approach you hit was well within 8 feet. Then you walk up to the seventh to see the greenkeeper working on the wintergreen: you'll have to wait and then play a wintergreen... You decide to skip it. Walk to the eight and another par. Life is treating you very well today! On the ninth hole, at 265 yards a short par4 you decide to take out the driver. Normally it's a long iron or a hybrid so you'll have a nice approach into the green. Not today, you grab the driver and a ProV1x you've used for a while. It has scuffmarks and looks a bit brownish, you've had it in the bag for a while and it must have seen a bunch of fairways and bunkers by the looks of it. You figure "if I lose it, it was just his time". Tee it up, go and stand behind the ball, envision the flight and think "must really bomb this drive, I want to be on that green". The time comes, you line up, do your routine and just hammer it. It starts a little left of the flag, but you see it coming back. At some point you start thinking: "will it come back enough? It looks like it will!" and then you think "Oh my, hope it makes the green, that would be so awesome!". You see the ball land just left of the flag, you see it hop and because the hole can't bee seen from the teebox it's out of sight. Hoping the ball actually made it to the green you put the driver in it's cover, put the club in the bag, grab your bag and fling it on your shoulders. Let's start walking to the green! Halfway there: nothing to be seen... Heart starts beating a little faster: might be on the green! Then when you're about 50-60 yards out you can see the green, but where's the ball? I can't see it. Your heart sinks to your shoes: no ball, it's not on the green. Must have gotten stuck in the apron, it's wet there, mushy, nasty, could easily be embedded and still out of sight. But nothing to be found in the apron.. Maybe it was further in front of the green, maybe in this bunker.. Not there! Where's my ball? I saw it fly, I saw it hop, where could it be? It's not over the green.. Not next to it, not in front of it, not in the bunker. Maybe, just maybe it's in the hole. Your heart skips a beat: It can't be in there, but well maybe it is. Just maybe you hit the perfect drive! And it's in the hole! HOLY SMACKERS you shout and do a little stupid dance. People start looking at you. You grab your phone, make a picture and then finally the little ProV1x is released from the hole, resting in your pocket. Almost glowing. This was an awesome day!

Moby Dick. Here are Ishmael, Queequeq, Ahab, and of course, Moby Dick, rendered anew in a dynamic comic book adaptation of one of the greatest American novels ever written. The book also includes information about Herman Melville, facts about whales, and the history of the whaling industry. With all the flare and blaze of Melville's original story, Moby Dick is sure to intrigue a new generation of readers with this fast-paced and electric portrayal of the famous battle between man and beast.

Paula Wolfert's name is synonymous with revealing the riches of authentic Mediterranean cooking, especially the cuisine of Morocco. In The Food of Morocco, she brings to bear more than forty years of experience of, love of, and original research on the traditional foodways of that country. The result is the definitive book on Moroccan cuisine, from tender Berber skillet bread to spiced harira (the classic soup made with lentils and chickpeas), from chicken with tangy preserved lemon and olives to steamed sweet and savory breast of lamb stuffed with couscous and dates. The recipes are clear and inviting and infused with the author's unparalleled knowledge of this delicious food. Essays illuminate the essential elements of Moroccan flavor and emphasize the accessibility of once hard-to-find ingredients such as saffron, argan oil, and Moroccan cumin seed.
Lavishly photographed in full color, The Food of Morocco not only showcases Wolfert's tantalizing recipes but also evokes Morocco in all its timeless splendor and mystery: its markets with their lush produce, its dazzling textiles and intricate mosaic tiles, its communal ovens and ancient souks, and of course its people, from Marrakech to Tangier. A labor of love four decades in the making, The Food of Morocco is a once-in-a-lifetime book of uncommon scope and authenticity, an essential work for every serious cook, anyone interested in Moroccan cuisine, and discerning armchair travelers alike.

The Wisconsin Partnership Program represents a far-reaching commitment by University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health to improve the health and well-being of Wisconsin residents through investments in research, education, prevention practices and interventions, and policy development.

Improving Wisconsin's Rural Medicine
To address the state's serious shortage of physicians in rural areas, the UW School of Medicine and Public Health created the Wisconsin Academy for Rural Medicine (WARM) with funding from the Wisconsin Partnership Program.

Japan alliancePUBLISHED: 14 Dec 2012 00:34:01 | UPDATED: 14 Dec 2012 00:34:01PUBLISHED: 14 Dec 2012 PRINT EDITION: 14 Dec 2012
Hugh White ("Japan alliance hard to justify", AFR, December 12) argues that Australia's relationship with Japan is a barrier to stronger ties with China. Despite Japan being the world's third-largest economy, a long-standing and reliable trading partner with Australia as well as being a democracy, White asserts this should be ignored as "it's interests that count, not values". Fortunately, Australia still has the freedom to choose its friends, rather than being forced into appeasement.

Alright, so if your looking for a quirky guy who likes to make you laugh and doesn't mind acting like a dork from time to time, then read on. I am an actor and am currently getting my career underway. (If you are thinking at this point, "Oh no, an actor!" then maybe I am not the guy for you.) It can be hard to digest the nature of my career path for some people and I would love to find that person who doesn't care and is just content with taking the journey with me. Yeah I could be reasonably poor for the next however may years, or maybe I'll hit it big, who knows. What I do know is that I strive for greatness in everything that I do and I never give up hope. I am also tremendously grateful for my supportive family and friends. Overall, I am a fairly mellow and down to earth kind of guy, (don't worry "down to earth" doesn't mean no showers or deodorant, because I am a super big fan of those!) I pride myself on my patience with all types of people and my good listening skills. I truly hope to find someone who likes to have fun, but also enjoys days where doing nothing but sitting around watching movies is cool too. I love being goofy whenever I can and if you have a beautiful smile, I will work to make it shine as often as possible. I hope to find a woman who is driven by whatever passions she may have in life and isn't worried about what other people think of her all the time. So if any of this sounds like something you would be willing to jump into, well, let's give it a shot.

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
As I mentioned in my summary, I'm pursuing a career in acting and I love doing voice over work as well. I'm also open to any new paths that my life may take me on. I also really want to travel much more in the near future. So if you've got the globe trotting bug, maybe you can tag along and we be adventuring the world together.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Well...I am a fairly athletic individual, so I can generally excel at most sports that I attempt. I like to go bowling and playing golf, and I can be competitive at times, so expect a good challenge! On the dorkier side of things, I suppose I'll admit that I'm a pretty good gamer as well. (Although I'm not one of those guys who is married to their XBOX. So don't worry, I do prefer a life in 3D reality.)
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
That would probably have to be my blue eyes. If you catch me on a day with blue skies and I happen to be wearing a nice blue shirt, they will definitely stand out.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
This is always a hard one. Too many choices. As far as books go, I've been reading the works of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau as of recent, which are quite enlightening. A New Earth, anything by Chuck Palahniuk, and all of Malcolm Gladwells books. TV shows I currently enjoy are New Girl, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Californication, and The Walking Dead. I enjoy a variety of music, but mostly lean towards rock/alternative, indie, techno, and some classical. (Certain movie musical scores are also pretty good.) Food favorites are BBQ, Italian, Mexican, and a good burger.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
God, Family, Friends, Singing, Music, and Laughter.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
Ways to improve myself as a person in all aspects.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Probably working at the Cheesecake Factory.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
Umm...all I will say is that once you meet me, I can be a completely open book.
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
You wanna laugh, be goofy, and let yourself feel free.

Yes, very nice. :) The apartment I lived in before wouldn't fix the A/C unit until it got to 35 degrees (celsius) outside!! Thankfully we moved out of there before summer really began.
