Kourtney Kardashian
Is Kourtney Kardashian Secretly Pregnant With Baby Number Three?
Another day, another pregnancy rumor!
The latest issue of In Touch Weekly is reporting that reality star Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant with her third child, due this fall. But is there any truth to this story, or is it another false alarm?
Well, let's review the evidence. First, Kourtney has been sporting a lot of looser-fitting clothing lately. Kourt also skipped out on the family's Thailand trip, which appeared to be a weeklong bikini shoot, judging by Kim, Khloe, Kendall, and Kylie's abundant Instagram pics. Perhaps her decision to skip out on the bikini-clad vacay had something to do with a growing baby bump?
Second, Kourtney and baby daddy Scott Disick recently purchased a much bigger home. The expanded square footage in their new digs could certainly be in preparation for a growing family.
However, we take every report of an expectant Kardashian with a huge grain of salt, and this latest one is no exception. Last August brought several rumors that Kourtney and Scott were making way for a third baby. At this point, we'd expect it to be pretty obvious if there had been any truth to those stories.
What do you think — is Kourtney expecting, or is this just idle gossip?Source: In Touch Weekly, print edition

{ Generations Dinner by Florever }
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because—like a lot of people—for me the day is all about friends (some old, some new); family (who I don't get to see nearly enough of); and food (thank goodness my velvet jeans have some stretch to them!). To mark the occasion this year, I thought I'd round up a handful of artwork that celebrates gatherings—all from affordable art source Society6.

In a letter to the Home Ministry, the Delhi government has urged the Centre to approve a draft Delhi Urban Mass Transit Authority (DUMTA) Bill, 2010, which seeks to regulate all decisions on city traffic, transport and roads. Sources in Delhi government said if approved, the Bill might be introduced in the upcoming budget session after further consideration.
Transport Minister Ramakant Goswami wrote to Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde earlier this week. Sources said the letter referred to the DUMTA Bill, 2010, which was drafted on Home Ministrys advice. Then Home Minister P Chidambaram suggested we set up DUMTA and the council of ministers had come up with a draft bill. Since then, there has been no further action from the Centre, a senior Transport department official said.
If enforced, the DUMTA will include control over the traffic police, a department Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has long sought control of.
According to sources in Delhi government, DUMTA requires careful planning. At present, we have the transport commissioner, the DTC commissioner, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation and the Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System. We do not want to add to the confusion, but rather solve existing problems. A note regarding the same proposal will soon be prepared, a senior official said.
A Transport official said: There is lack of coordination between various agencies, leading to confusion. We believe DUMTA will help in better operations, regulation, development and planning.
According to the draft bill, the Chief Minister would head the agency as chairperson. It will also and include the chief secretary, secretary of transport, relevant commissioners, chief of DMRC and DTC, Delhi Police and other experts in the field of transport.

Once upon a time, there was no electronic mail. If you lived in the USA and wanted to contact a company in England, you had two choices. You could write a letter, which would get you a response in anywhere from one month to never, or you could make a complicated and expensive phone call. Even if you lived in New York and wanted to contact your dear aunt in Chicago, it involved either a good deal of time or expense, and sometimes both.
Then Ray Tomlinson came along. In 1971, Tomlinson was an engineer at the Cambridge, Massachusetts, consulting firm of Bolt, Beranek, and Newman (BBN). BBN had a contract from the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the U.S. Department of Defense to help in the development of ARPANET, an early network from which the Internet later emerged. Staff at BBN had developed a program to leave messages to each other on an ARPANET computer at the company. Tomlinson came up with the notion of combining this program with another program that transferred files among ARPANET computers around the country in order to send messages among these networked computers.
To do this, however, he needed some means of distinguishing between messages intended for local recipients and those for people at some other location. According to an article in Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) alumni magazine, Tomlinson (RPI '63) came up with the @ sign "to indicate that the user was 'at' some other host." The rest, as they say, is history.
But the history of the @ sign, in fact, pre-dates e-mail by many years. Around 500, it would appear. Although the origin of the symbol has been long been disputed by scholars, Giorgio Stabile, a professor of the history of science at La Sapienza University in Italy, recently documented its use in a letter written by a Florentine merchant in 1536. In that letter, the @ sign represented an amphora, a standard-sized clay vessel used in ancient times to carry wine and grain in trade in the Mediterranean area. Eventually, according to Professor Stabile, the use of the "@" in trade led to its contemporary meaning (prior to e-mail, that is) of "at the price of." In 1885 it appeared on the keyboard of the first Underwood typewriter, from where it eventually made its way to today's standard computer keyboards.
The @ symbol has many different names around the world. In English, while still the "amphora" officially, it is most widely known as the "at sign." The names in German (at-Zeichen) and Japanese (atto maak) are similar. Spanish and Portuguese people call it the "arroba" and the French call it "arobase," (which translate as "amphora" in English). Italians call it "chiocciola" (snail); Swedes know it as the "kanelbulle" (cinnamon bun), while to Czechs it is "zavinac" (a rolled pickled herring served in pubs). In Hebrew it's the "shtrudel" (strudel), while, according to an article in The Industry Standard, the Finnish word--"miukumauku"--translates charmingly as "the sign of the meow," recalling a curled-up, sleeping cat.

The Cambodia Integrated HIV and Drug Prevention Implementation Program project will implement and evaluate an integrated combination HIV prevention intervention: SMARTgirl Plus for Cambodian female entertainment and sex workers where non-injection use of amphetamine type stimulant (ATS) is high and significantly contributing to HIV risk. SMARTgirl Plus will add demonstrated approaches to ATS and HIV prevention (conditional cash transfer (CCT) and microfinance (MF) opportunities) into an existing widely disseminated program (SMARTgirl), using a stepped wedge randomized cluster design, and assess impacts on HIV related risk behavior. Adding CCT and MF to existing HIV prevention programs will broaden the scope of the current prevention model which focuses principally on reducing sexual risk through condom use and STI care, and uptake of reproductive health services.

Bush is promoting a new book on immigration reform and not shutting the door on a 2016 presidential campaign. That's a significant change for the 60-year-old Bush, who comes from a long line of politicians. He's the younger brother of former President George W. Bush and son of former President George H.W. Bush.
Republicans and former advisers to Bush say he's making clear that he could be in the mix in three years and signaling to political operatives and donors they shouldn't count him out.
Bush has urged Congress to adopt immigration reforms and said Republicans need to do more to attract a diverse electorate.

Ardrey Kell Knights
2-2 (1-0, Southwestern 4A Conference)
Independence Patriots
5-0 (1-0, I-Meck Conf.)
Patriot Stadium in Mint Hill
Friday at 7pm
Independence's 'Season of Redemption' continues this Friday as the Patriots host Ardrey Kell. It's the Knights who will be seeking revenge in this contest as the Patriots spoiled Ardrey Kell's homecoming game last season with a 51-30 beat-down.
This contest will be a test for Indy's vaunted offense, as Ardrey Kell's defense has been giving up an average of 22 points per game this season. That is well below the Patriots' scoring average of 45 points per game.
Independence will need to game-plan plays away from the Knights' defensive end Romeo Okwara. The senior is ranked at number 65 in the state recruiting class and has committed to Notre Dame next season.
The Patriots offensive line has been excellent all season, but Friday night's test could be their biggest yet.
Also on Friday…
Butler Bulldogs
3-1 (1-0, Southwestern 4A Conference)
Rocky River Ravens
2-3 (0-1, I-Meck Conf.)
"The Rock" in Mint Hill
Friday at 7pm
Head Coach Brian Hales has Butler looking as dominating as last year's version, if not more so. After dropping a heart-breaker on the road to the number one ranked team in the state, the Bulldogs seem to be taking it out on the remainder of their schedule. No one needs to be reminded that this team is still the two-time defending state 4AA champion.
Quarterback Riley Ferguson is ranked as the fourth best recruit in the state according to MaxPreps, and he's only a junior.
Butler put 77 on the scoreboard last week against Myers Park, a team that had only been giving up 15 points per game in their previous four contests. It looks as if the entire Southwestern 4A Conference will be lining up for their annual Butler smack-down.
Next up on the list is Rocky River. The Ravens are definitely not the team they were last season. They are vastly improved on both sides of the ball, and have already notched two wins.
The game against Butler will be a good chance for the Ravens' players to garner some needed experience against a local powerhouse.
One other thing for sure, as Butler will take the win in this game, the Ravens fans will still fill the stadium at "The Rock" and be extremely vocal for their team. Rocky River's players are never short on support from their coaches, fans, and family.

Hmmm, if you want a name that NO ONE else is likely to pick....
Donna is my mom's name, who I adore. It also has a retro-cool vibe for me, as opposed to "dated" like I might consider the names Kristen or Michelle. I don't know.... What are your thoughts? Can you see this name on a sweet baby girl? Am I wading into murky hipster territory? Lol.
For me, I don't love it enough to totally replace a first name choice with it. But seriously considering it for a middle....One Beloved Son - Raphael David

text: Renegade: A Mass Effect/Command and Conquer Crossover Chapter 1: Gateway (Part 1) The sky overhead was streaked with smoke and fire, and the tracers of large-scale mass accelerator and railgun fire ripped through the air, accompanied by missiles. Rivers of illuminated ammunition – tracers and modified ammunition types – cut through the sky. In the distance, she could hear the crack, roar, and thunder of artillery fire, both missile and solid round. Smoke billowed out of the house-sized tank, rising up into her faceplate as she crouched behind the turret. The tank burned, the heat masking her from enemy sensors. She fumbled with the rifle, trying to get the scrambled targeting system back up and working before the enemy could locate and close in on her. Mass accelerator rounds ripped past, skipping off or shattering against the tank's armor plating, but the fire was suppressive, not aimed. The batarians didn't know where she was, or even how many troops she had under her command. That was good, because the total amounted to zero. First Lieutenant Shepard got the scrambled scope and targeting system back to functionality, and shouldered the assault rifle. On her helmet's display, she saw dozens of element zero masses as enemy soldiers advanced, kinetic barriers rising up. She watched them advance down the street, between the looming buildings of Elysium City, capital of one of humanity's biggest colony worlds. The perimeter security walls had been breached in the initial assault, when the batarian slaver fleet had bombarded the city's automated defense towers from orbit. A company-strength force of men, totaling at about one hundred and sixty men and women with armor support, had attempted to secure the streets leading to the breach. For their efforts, they'd been wiped out in a steady barrage of orbital, artillery, and armor bombardment. They'd given their lives at a high cost, but the batarians had pounded the defense to tatters, and now was sending in their infantry to secure the approach. Shepard peered over the tank's turret, and saw both of the deformed cannons extending from the massive vehicle's turret. The top of the tank had been gutted by overhead fire – even with the improved topside armor, the shot had cut clean through the plating. The crew inside had burned alive as they'd fought to keep the tank operational to hold the street. Debris choked the avenue, ruined vehicles and piled chunks of building cutting off access routes for ground vehicles, but providing perfect cover for an infantry advance. More mass accelerator rounds began to hammer the tank. A rocket-grenade exploded on the far side, followed by a couple of glowing pulses of energy – anti-personnel shots from enemy shotguns and their attached particle grenade launchers. The volume of fire continued to grow, and Shepard knew they'd either spotted her, or guessed she might use the tank as a good firing position. She dropped down beside the tank, crouching and keeping out of the line of fire. A burst of rounds stitched pockmarks across the tank's flank, cutting a swath across the swooping golden eagle emblem painted on the massive vehicle's track guards. Shepard looked up at the destroyed Mammoth Tank – one of the most potent and symbolic tools of the Global Defense Initiative's arsenal. Shepard dashed to the nearest safe cover, which was in the inner security wall of this section of the city. It had been locked down when the batarian slavers had arrived in orbit, and most of the population of the city had withdrawn inside the security walls' protection. The breach was the entire reason the aliens were pushing so hard at this point in the city's defenses. Now, the gaping, ten-meter-wide breach in the wall was the only place Shepard could take cover The gray-brown armor she wore concealed her from visual tracking, but she knew she was likely going to be spotted due to her suit's element zero core. True enough, incoming fire picked up, slashing down the street toward her as she ran. Shepard gritted her teeth and ducked low, duck-walking behind wrecked cars and through orbitally-blasted craters. A rocket detonated a few meters away. Mass accelerator rounds smashed into the debris on all sides, while armor-piercing rounds lanced straight through the concrete and thin metal of destroyed vehicles. Shepard saw the breach in the security wall thirty meters away, but running there on foot meant it might as well have been a kilometer, with the incoming fire she was facing. Instead, she activated the flat, briefcase-sized backpack mounted on the rear of her armor. Light flared at the rear of the backpack as the mass effect field lightened her body and let the miniature thrusters on the jump pack propel her into the air. Shepard fed power to the jump pack, and it launched her up off the shattered street and toward the breach far faster than her legs could have carried her. A storm of fire flew toward Shepard as she jetted across the thirty meters to safety, but the batarian invaders hadn't been expecting her to engage her jump pack, which bought the Lieutenant a valuable couple of seconds. Her suit's shields flared as rounds skipped off it regardless, and the helmet beeped insistently to warn her the shield battery was being rapidly depleted. The ground rushed up toward Shepard, and she swung her feet in front of her body. The mass effect field intensified, further reducing her mass for a valuable heartbeat, while the thrusters cut out. She hit the ground inside the breach and dropped behind cover, disengaging the field and returning to normal mass as she spun toward the direction the batarians were approaching. There were more than a hundred enemy troops incoming, advancing up the street by fireteams. There were too many for her to take on, and if they turned their artillery against her, she wouldn't last a heartbeat. If the enemy breached this position, though, they would flood through the gap, and with the local garrison fighting on the other points at the perimeter, the civilians of Elysium would be helpless against the slavers. Mindoir. It'll be Mindoir all over again. The memories of that moment lanced into her brain, setting her thoughts ablaze with hate and fury. Shepard made the decision. She rose, shouldered the rifle, and held the line when all else was lost. So long as she still breathed, Elysium would not become another Mindoir. - The first thing she felt as she regained consciousness was agony. Pain rolled through Shepard's temples, and she groaned while opening her eyes. Sensations came to her dimly, distant and unclear. She recognized she was lying on her back, and the pliable, soft-yet-uncomfortable nature of the cushion she laid on told her it was an infirmary bed. She could hear the quiet hum of working machinery, along with the vibrations that only came from a vessel in motion – tinged with that unique timbre associated with mass effect drives. The sensation of air over her bare skin told her that he'd been stripped down to her underwear. The room was dark. Not to the point where she couldn't see, but she had to focus for a moment before she could make anything out. The light was dim, with a faint reddish tint to it. Shepard closed her eyes, taking inventory of the pains across her body to figure out where she'd been hurt the worst, and quickly decided that said definition included "everywhere." Next, she tried to remember what had happened before she'd passed out. Another surge of batarian soldiers attempting to rush her position, the third that hour, ignoring the pile of their dead fellows she'd left. They scrambled under covering fire, weapons barking, and she gunned them down one by one. Once had gotten close, and as the alien had reached her, Shepard's body had surged with electricity and swirling dark energy, and she'd temporarily rewritten the laws of physics. The nodes of element zero in her body had interacted with the implant at the base of her neck, was boosted by the circuitry in her armor, and Shepard sent a pulse of explosive gravity into the alien's chest and head. It snapped back grotesquely and went flying away, and then the world turned white as something boiled the street only a few meters away, and then there was pain and whiteness. Shepard opened her eyes again, and glanced around the room. It looked like an infirmary, a standard military-esque facility, consisting of a long room with beds lining one wall, each of them partially recessed into the wall, where scanners would no doubt be able to analyze the brain and upper body more effectively. Medical machinery stood beside each of the beds, and the walls were lined with lockers and storage containers for other gear. It resembled every shipboard infirmary she'd ever had the pleasure of waking up inside, with one exception: The standard, faintly blue-gray lighting of a GDI military vessel was replaced by that faintly rosy lighting she'd noted earlier. She heard the hissing of a sliding door, and Shepard looked up, to see a tall, limber woman walk into the room. Correction: she wasn't walking so much as prowling, her body moving with a feline grace that seemed to come completely naturally to her. She had pale but clear skin, long black hair that came down to the top of her chest, and a black suit that only needed to be a size smaller to count as skintight. "Lieutenant Shepard," she said, accent tinged by what she guessed was Australian. "Good to see you're awake. We don't have much time." She had appealing features and large blue eyes, and it took Shepard a moment's concentration to not be distracted by them. "You have me at a disadvantage," Shepard said through the pain. She shook her head, but that was a bad idea, as it brought more headaches. "You can call me Miranda," the woman replied. "No rank, so don't worry about that." "How bad was I hurt?" she asked, getting to most pertinent questions. "Concussion, some lacerations, shrapnel wounds, fourteen mass accelerator rounds imbedded at various points in your body, some hemorrhaging in the lungs, three broken bones, and you bit your tongue so hard you nearly choked on your own blood," Miranda rattled off. "Nothing some medigel and a couple hours in an autosurgeon couldn't fix." "What happened on Elysium?" Shepard asked, after that had sunk in. "The batarians achieved breakthrough and invaded the city," Miranda replied, walking across the room toward her. She noted Miranda was armed with what looked like a machine pistol on her hip. "We estimate they managed to make off with perhaps ten thousand civilians before we managed to intervene and drive them off." A sinking feeling ran through Shepard as she heard her words, and it took her a moment to process the entire thing. A deep, wracking pain slashed through her, along with a realization that she'd failed that promise she'd made to hold the line. "No, don't blame yourself," Miranda said quickly, reading her features. "It was no fault of your own. The batarians bombed every approach into the city, and killed practically the entire GDI garrison before they breached the walls. Your position held out the longest, right up until help arrived." "GDI?" Shepard asked. The other woman shook her head. "The nearest GDI relief fleet is still a day away," Miranda said. "We saved the colony instead." Shepard blinked, then closed her eyes, brain whirling. The Global Defense Initiative was the ruling body over every human colony in the Skyllian Verge and the Attican Traverse, a direct result of the fact that it was the de facto world government on Earth for more than a century. The concept of individual nations had vanished following the ecological apocalypse brought about by Tiberium in the late 1990's, with the Global Defense Initiative becoming the effective world government in the 2030's. It had stayed that way through two more world wars and the First Contact War with the Scrin, right up through the discovery of the Prothean ruins on Mars, the development of mass effect technology from said ruins, the discovery of the Charon Mass Relay, and the subsequent Shanxi War with the Turian Hierarchy and the opening of diplomatic relations with the Citadel. GDI's military and political dominance had been near-absolute, and though the organization was democratically elected and run, there was a major religious undercurrent and opposition force, which had been behind more than fifty years of constant world war followed by another hundred and thirty years of sporadic terror attacks. However, they hadn't had any military capability since their leader had been killed at the end of the Third Tiberian War. "Had" was the key word, as she put together the pieces. "We," Shepard said, "meaning the Brotherhood of Nod." "Clever woman," Miranda replied, giving her a ghost of a smile. "Why would Nod care about a GDI colony?" Shepard asked, pointedly avoiding a much more pertinent and much more troubling question: where the hell had the Brotherhood of Nod gotten military warships? Nod hadn't had a regular military since the 2050's. "We care about humanity, Shepard," Miranda replied. "GDI, Nod, Forgotten, independent, it doesn't matter. Elysium is a human world, and if GDI can't protect it, we will." Shepard exhaled and tried to stand. "Why'd you bring me here?" she asked. "Because your particular talents may prove useful," Miranda replied. "We tried to save as many civilians as we could, but the batarians made off with a large transport full of humans. Most of the troops defending the city are dead." "What talents?" Shepard asked, frowning. "Aside from the fact that you're a survivor of GDI's Commando Training Program, have above-average biotic talents, and managed to hold off about five hundred batarians with a rifle and shouted profanity?" Miranda asked, her tone sarcastic and amused. "I don't know myself. Might be that particularly impressive scar you've got." Shepard's eyes snapped up, and a spike of raw, agonizing hatred ran through her. Miranda stared back, not speaking for a moment, and then took a single step backward. "My apologies," she said quietly. "I shouldn't have brought that up. I know the....memory of Akuze can't be pleasant." Shepard scowled and nodded. She closed her eyes and fought back the memory of where she'd gotten her facial scars from, before opening them. She gestured to the far wall. "We're on a ship and moving," she said, the words slow and controlled. "Since I'm not a prisoner, I guess you need me for something pressing." "Correct," Miranda replied. "The batarian slavers retreated as soon as we arrived at the planet and destroyed their fleet. Most of their ships were ramshackle pirate vessels anyway, not true warships. The remainder, including the transport carrying the captured civilians, went to a system about twelve hours from Elysium, at cruising distance. The pirates are apparently staying over for drive discharge and repairs." "GDI won't arrive in time to find them and free the slaves," Shepard said, and Miranda nodded. That ghost of a smile returned. "We, however, are two hours away and cruising at full speed," she said. "While we have our own marine compliment that are quite competent at their jobs, it would be better if they were led by someone with . . . exceptional capability in ship-to-ship boarding operations." Shepard stared back, mind rushing as she tried to figure out the angle Nod was working at here. She knew from history that the Brotherhood excelled at secrecy and deception, and that they were treacherous at best. On the other hand, she knew from history that the Brotherhood had a humanitarian side and seemed to have honestly cared for the civilians under its rule. Though Nod was banned from having a military, the religion itself was still intact and had a strongly charitable bent throughout human space. And they were trying to rescue civilians. GDI civilians, at that. "What if I refuse?" Shepard asked. Miranda's response was another of those thin smiles, and she gestured at a datapad on a table by Shepard's bed. There was a thrumming of working dark energy, and the clipboard rose, hovered, and dropped back to the table. She was a biotic, too. Shepard understood the threat quite clearly. Alone, unarmed, and in her skivvies, her only weapon was her biotic capability. Miranda, meanwhile, was armed, on her own ship, probably had a contingent of guards at hand, and could counter Shepard's own mass effect capability. She wasn't a prisoner, but it wouldn't take much effort to change that. "We're on the same side, Shepard," Miranda said. "GDI or Nod, we're both human, and humans are in the hands of alien slavers. We have to stop them." Shepard closed her eyes, mulling over it for a moment and trying to figure out what Nod's ulterior motive was. If there even is one, she reminded herself. Instead, she remembered Mindoir. She remembered her family and friends, fighting the batarian slavers and being gunned down and burned alive for their trouble. She remembered seeing people from her home being hauled away as slaves. She remembered the four-eyed, humanoid aliens as they hunted through the ruins for survivors, and she hiding beneath rubble and ruins, praying to not be seen, curled up in abject terror. Shepard opened her eyes, met Miranda's, and nodded, fighting back the deep unease bubbling up inside her at the notion of working with Nod agents "Get me armor and a weapon," she muttered, voice tight with anger and determination. She wouldn't fail them again. - Inspired by discussion over in the Mass Effect crossover thread this is an alternate universe version of Mass Effect, with the Systems Alliance Earth replaced by Tiberium Earth. Its also partially alt universe for Tiberium as well, as this story will be ignoring C&C4's plot. As far as this story is concerned, Nod went into the shadows following TW3, Kane is gone (long since presumed dead in the assault on Temple Prime) and GDI has been the undisputed head of humanity up through the discovery of the Prothean ruins and the Charon Mass Relay. If you've read my other ME fic, Graveyard Shift, you'll notice some similarities. This is effectively a rewrite of Mass Effect with GDI taking the place of the SA, and with Nod in the background, being all....Nod-ly. As a result I might reuse some content from that story, seeing as they're telling the same tale, sort of. Note: Original version of this story had Shepard as a male, and I adjusted her to be female to give the story a lot more differentiation from Graveyard Shift. So, if you spotted any misplaced male pronouns referring to Shepard, let me know. - Chapter Guide: - Chapter 1: Gateway Part 2 - Miranda, Slaver Ships, Medals, Verge War, Normandy - Chapter 2: Calm - Shakedown, Joker and Alenko, Nihlus, Anderson, Distress Call - Chapter 3: Reconnoiter Part 1 - Ion Array EP-4, Coyote, Nihlus and Shepard, Drop onto Eden Prime, Anderson, Geth - Chapter 3: Reconnoiter Part 2 - Nihlus, Ambush, Kaidan and Shepard Biotics, Losses, Codex: Shapeshifter - Chapter 4: Archive Part 1 - Husks, Jacob and Wrex, Nihlus and Saren, Monorail station battle, Leeroy Jenkins - Chapter 4: Archive Part 2 - Spaceport battle, Nihlus vs. Saren, Orcas, Glowey Orb of Macguffin - Chapter 5: Technical Truths Part 1 - Vision, Anderson and Shepard, Guns, Deceptions - Chapter 5: Technical Truths Part 2 - Citadel, Embassy, Council, Surprise Visit - Chapter 6: Resurrection Part 1 - Kane, Garrus, Council Meeting - Chapter 6: Resurrection Part 2 - Compromise, Shepard and Kane, Aircar Rides - Chapter 7: Cowboys - Shepard defuses, Garrus, Investigations, Embassy - Chapter 8: Scouting Part 1 - Tali, Shepard and Havoc, Zaeed and Fist, Plotting - Chapter 8: Scouting Part 2 - Spy Tali, Spy Shepard, Goddammit Zaeed, Impressive - Official Prequel: - Eagles' Fall by Charnobyl.

The RSPB has today (13 June) published information relating to its use of egg oiling, nest destruction and the culling of birds. This is in response to a Freedom of Information Act request made by the Countryside Alliance. In his blog the RSPB's Martin Harper admitted that in 2011/12 the charity obtained licences from Natural England to kill three adult lesser black-backed gulls and destroy 76 large gull nests and also killed 292 carrion crows and 11 magpies under open general licences.
The charity also said it oiled, to prevent hatching, 73 greylag goose eggs and more than 25 Canada goose eggs and destroyed 195 barnacle goose eggs.
The Countryside Alliance has also found out, through the Freedom of Information Act request, that the charity obtained a licence in 2011 to destroy the eggs of black swans.
Countryside Alliance director of campaigns, Tim Bonner, said: "In recent weeks the RSPB has been highly critical of licences issued by Natural England to destroy the nests of buzzards and cull gulls. They used highly emotive language to decry these activities, but now we find out that they have been carrying out exactly the same sort of actions.
"The RSPB's use of the licence system seems to be perfectly legitimate and justified but looks extraordinary hypocritical in light of its recent comments about other licence applications.
"If the licence system is correct when used by the RSPB, then it must also be correct when used by other applicants."

Help & settingsWelcome to the help & settings section, here you can change the default units, sign in for free and learn more about weather forecasting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why register as a Bigsalty user?
Registered Bigsalty Users can have a 'Watchlist' that shows when your beaches are working. You can also tailor the measurement units for the forecasts to your specific needs and set your location origin. (I'm afraid we haven't found a way to tailor the weather to your needs; " 4.2m weather, 4-5ft and sunny... " but we'll keep working on it!)
My beach isn't listed for the forecast service. How can I get it listed?
We would love to add your requested beach. Email us with details of the exact location as well as any other information you may wish to share with Bigsalty users: .
The forecast data is not very accurate at a listed beach. Why?
Under certain situations local affects can have a big impact on the forecasted conditions. For example, a reasonable swell may be forecast but a strong offshore wind could be flattening the sea state. Wind can also be increased or decreased by local affects not picked up by the forecast model such as sea breezes, katabatic winds and venturi affects. Interpreting forecasts can be a tricky business, so for some tips, please examine The Scriptures.
What's the Watchlist?
The Watchlist allows all registered Bigsalty users to keep an eye on current forecasted conditions at their selected top three beaches. To use the Watchlist, please register as a User by clicking on the Settings tab of the main menu and then clicking New User Sign Up. Once you have done this, click on Watchlist and add the names of your top three beaches.
How do I change measurement units?
Once you're a registered User, you can change the measurement units for the forecast. Click on the Settings tab on the main menu and then go to Set Units. From here you can decide whether, for example, you would like to read wave height in feet or metres.
I keep having problems with the site. Who do I contact?
Even computers have bad days. Usually we find it's because the wetsuit rack has been dripping on the server, and a little towel-down is all that's needed. However, if you find any site problems are persisting, email us using and we'll sort out whatever's got your goat.
How best do I interpret the data?
If you're asking this question you've made a good move because interpreting the forecast correctly will make a big difference to your success rate at the beach. For detailed weather interpretation information see The Scriptures, which are designed to give you all the information you need to score more winning sessions.
What is the accuracy of the data Bigsalty uses?
Forecasts are as good as the data models they are based on. The two main models we use are the GFS 0.5 Degree Atmospheric Model and the NWW3 1.25 x 1 deg Model for Oceanic Data. These are commercially used forecast models and of a high quality but if you're interested in getting down to the nitty gritty of these models, then read the Forecast charts page within The Scriptures.
Bigsalty forecasts have changed my life. How can I ever thank you?
All staff at Bigsalty HQ are happy to accept return tickets to Maui as a token of your appreciation.
What the masses say
When I'm back from the PWA tour, there is nothing I like more than searching out the sickest forecast for a road trip with friends.
Big Salty has got those plans covered.

If you love the idea of adding a little character to your bathroom but don't have space for a whole armoire, why not consider using a vintage piece as the base for your sink? It's a look that's surprisingly versatile — you don't have to live in a farmhouse to embrace the idea. Take a gander at these inspiring examples.

Jostens won't conduct ring sizing at the Cardinals' training facility this year, but the lack of a championship doesn't make the 2009 season an unsuccessful one, coach Ken Whisenhunt said.
To Whisenhunt, winning 10 games, a second consecutive NFC West title and a first-round playoff game has a certain ring to it, too.
Whisenhunt put a positive spin on the season Sunday, a day after it had ended with a 45-14 loss at New Orleans in the divisional round of the playoffs.
"There are a lot of teams that would switch with us," he said. "We are one of the top eight teams in the league. I consider it a successful season for us. Based on what I read or what I hear, we can improve in all areas; we did a lot of things wrong this year. So hopefully we can clean those up and get better.
"I think that is what the next weeks, months (are for), our process of evaluating our team. Nothing is ever perfect. We did a lot of things well; we did a lot of things not so well."
If last season's Super Bowl appearance is the standard, then the Cardinals achieved less this season. But if measured against Cardinals history, this season was wildly successful.
At 10-6, the Cardinals had their best record since 1976. It's the first time since 1974-75 that the team won consecutive division titles.
"I think we accomplished a lot of things," quarterback Kurt Warner said Sunday. "And I think we'll just continue to build on what people now expect out of this organization. It's tough to go to the Super Bowl every year. It's tough to win your division two years in a row.
"You have to understand that when it comes playoff time, if you don't bring your best performance you get beat. That doesn't mean you had a lousy season."
Cardinals players and coaches have to be happy that Warner chose to use the pronoun "we" when talking about the team's future. The quarterback isn't providing any hints about his thoughts of retirement, only that he will consider it seriously in the next few weeks.
His retirement could spawn systematic changes. Matt Leinart presumably would become the starter, and the Cardinals offense likely would emphasize the run more than it has in Whisenhunt's three seasons with the team.
The Cardinals are facing plenty of other questions, too. They have several key players due to be unrestricted free agents, including inside linebacker Karlos Dansby, left tackle Mike Gandy, kicker Neil Rackers and possibly right guard Deuce Lutui.
Free safety Antrel Rolle's contract is due to escalate and needs to be reworked. Receiver Anquan Boldin enters the last year of his deal and could be traded. It might be time to extend defensive end Darnell Dockett's contract, which has two years remaining.
Complicating matters is that the 2010 season could be uncapped, and the rules governing free agency change.
Improvements need to be made, too. The defense played poorly in the playoffs, yielding 90 points and 911 yards in two games. The tackling was atrocious, and injuries put the spotlight on the team's lack of depth at certain positions.
The Cardinals should learn, too, that winning in the regular season can be vital to postseason success. They have improved from eight to nine to 10 wins in Whisenhunt's tenure, but two losses to the 49ers this season contributed to the club being a No. 4 seed.
With two more victories, the Cardinals could have earned a bye in the first round of the playoffs. That would have been important to a team that hadn't had a week off since early October.
"We have gone 15 straight weeks," Whisenhunt said. "That is very hard. There is wear and tear on you physically is obviously something everyone knows about, but mentally it is pretty stressful, too."
The mental stress is what wears on Warner the most, although the season took a physical toll, too. He suffered a concussion at midseason and missed a game. On Saturday, he suffered a bruised chest on a brutal hit during an interception return.
But like his teammates, Warner was pleased with what the big picture of the 2009 season shows.
"We had a great year," he said. "We gave ourselves a chance for a run at the Super Bowl. I'm extremely pleased about how we played this year and how we grew as a football team, and how much better I think we are now than we were last season."

Ohio Presidential Anecdotes
The Buckeye State is second only to Virginia in number of presidents
Ohio has sent so many of its own to the White House it's almost second nature. With local boys like Taft, Grant and Garfield, we're second only to Virginia in total number of presidents, and they had a 25-year head start. Maybe we don't have the top spot, but we certainly have some of the most interesting presidents to date. Here's a list recapping some of the best Ohio presidential anecdotes.James Abram Garfield: First to Use and Be Failed By the Metal Detector James Garfield was the workingman's president. His father died when he was only two, leaving him and his family in poverty. He earned his keep as a carpenter, teacher and canal boatman before he found inspiration in politics. He was also one of four presidents assassinated in office, and suffered for weeks before complications from the bullet took his life. It was under these dire circumstances that none other than Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, was called in to help. Bell came equipped with an experimental metal detector invented just months before and intended to use it to locate and remove the bullet where others had failed. Unfortunately for Garfield, the ramshackle device failed to locate the bullet because the bed's metal coil mattress jumbled the signal. Bonus: Garfield was the U.S.'s last president born in a log cabin.William Henry Harrison: A Fool in Love Although not a true Ohio native, Harrison spent much of his life gallivanting in what would become the Buckeye State as governor of the Indiana Territory. While governing the territories, Harrison became interested in a young Anna Symmes, Judge John Cleves Symmes' daughter (you may know him from the Symmes Purchase and, consequently, his thousand namesakes around town). Harrison was only in his early twenties and not exactly a distinguished figure yet, so Judge Symmes was unimpressed, surmising his daughter could make a more prosperous match elsewhere. Undeterred, Harrison asked the Judge for his daughter's hand, and was flatly denied. So what's a young president to do? Why, wait until her father leaves on business and elope of course! When Judge Symmes learned of the nuptials, he berated Harrison, asking, "How, sir, do you intend to support my daughter?" Harrison smoothly replied, "Sir, my sword is my means of support." Now that's president material.William Howard Taft: A Reluctant Champion Who's the Cincy judge, That turned trusts into mud? TAFT! Can you dig it? Sorry for the Shaft intro, but we Cincinnatians certainly can dig it when we're talking 'bout the 27th President. During his one term as president Taft reinforced Roosevelt's anti-trust policies and created the U.S. Department of Labor, but he's also remembered for dragging his feet into the presidency. His real ambition was to serve in U.S. Supreme Court.Before elected, Taft told supporters: "Don't sit up nights thinking about making me President for that will never come and I have no ambition in that direction. Any party which would nominate me would make a great mistake." Taft was eventually convinced otherwise, but during his inauguration on a particularly chilly day he told Roosevelt, "I always said it would be a cold day when I got to be president of the United States." After office, Taft was eventually named chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from none other than Warren G. Harding, another Ohioan. Taft then became the only man in history to occupy both the presidency and the chief justiceship. Ulysses S. Grant: A Match Made in Heaven Born in 1822, Grant grew up the son of an Ohio tanner, later becoming one of the most decisive military leaders in United States history. But in the twilight of his years, Grant plunged into debt after his financial firm went bankrupt. As a means for settling his accounts, he began writing his own memoirs with the hope of finding a publisher. And he found his salvation in one of the most prolific writers in U.S. history: Mark Twain. Samuel Clemens (Twain) heard Grant was looking for a publisher and offered to publish the book with Grant receiving 75 percent of the profits. They agreed and the former general finished his notes days before dying from throat cancer.The resulting publication, Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant, became one of the most successful books of the 19th century, earning Grant's family more than $400,000 in royalties. Quite a happy ending.
Cafes Inside CAM, Taft Offer Tasty Treasures

These two museums don't just have wonderful art — they also both have fantastic cafés. I recently undertook a mission to dine at both: CAM's Terrace Café and the Lindner Family Café at the Taft Museum. I decided that I wouldn't just eat at the cafés — I would also see what treasures the museums had to offer.

President Obama has reached a deal with Republicans that would extend for two years a series of expiring tax benefits, including a research-and-development tax credit and a trio of deductions and credits for college tuition. Under the terms of the compromise, Mr. Obama agreed to a two-year extension of the Bush-era income-tax cuts in exchange for an extension of unemployment benefits and a payroll tax holiday.

Ask an UK Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
How do you propose to petition your wife for divorce?
dont know yet just want to know what rights she has here
There was no need to accept at that early stage in the chat - I had not answered your question yet!
If you divorce then her visa will be curtailed and she will be asked to leave the country. At the point of curtailment she will no longer have a legal leave to remain here.
If you have consummated the marriage and have not been married for a year then you must wait until you have been married for one year before petitioning for divorce - this is a legal requirement.
If have not been separated for two years then you cannot petition on the basis of separation. This means you would have to petition on the grounds of either adultery or unreasonable behaviour.
You can still be "separated" but still living under the same roof if your shared domestic life is at an end.There is lots of useful information about divorce available for lay persons considering divorcing on Her Majesty's Courts Service website:-
You should consider instructing a divorce lawyer anyway, but particularly if the marriage is for a short length and you have significantly more assets than her because you will want to negotiate a favourable financial settlement for yourself. You can find local divorce lawyers here and ask for a free initial half hour meeting about your position:-
I am happy to answer follow up questions.

Mixed Martial Arts and Jiu-Jitsu are hard on the joints—especially the knees. I recently severed my right ACL and had to go through reconstructive surgery. At the time I was in very good shape and training 3-4 days a week. I was only 37 and it was a terrifying prospect of not being able to train again and being facing a long painful recovery. Many things can go wrong with a major surgery—infection, surgical mistakes, re-injury, etc.
I was fortunate. Although the damage was major it was not catastrophic. I was able to get it replaced with a donor ligament using that latest arthroscopic procedure.
The longest part of waiting for the surgery was doing pre-operative therapy and waiting for a donor ligament.
The options for the surgery were to move a ligament from another part of my body to the ACL or to request a donor ligament from a cadaver. I chose the donation. Many people have reservations about receiving a body part from someone else. I had only positive feelings about receiving it. I felt the person must be an unusually kind and good person to be thoughtful enough and brave enough to want to help others by donating their body after death. I am thankful a complete stranger blessed me with such a wonderful gift. It helped me want to become a donor myself as part of a harmonic cycle of good promoting more good in the world.
At the start of the 12th week after my surgery, I thought I was ready to start training hard in the weight room and begin running again and my physical therapist suggested I wait a few weeks longer. She asked "why risk an injury now you are back to normal activity? You can walk and get around very well without pain. You are way ahead of most people at this stage."
I realized at that moment my goal was not to get back to "normal." It was to get back to extraordinary. I have no room in my life for an ordinary existence. I want to train Jiu-Jitsu as if I am entering the ring next week. The reason to start pushing hard early was to go beyond ordinary.
The reality is I am a 39 year old sales executive with a wife and 2 small boys. I work and travel and I have no intention of trying to fight professionally. My goal is to remain competitive on the mat for as long as possible. If I ever decide to compete in a tournament I want to have the ability to do well.
Two factors contributed the most to my recovery. The first was complete focus on my fitness and health. I worked my leg strength every day. No excuses. In my mind healthy eating and exercise are two equal parts of health and I watched my diet closely. I disciplined myself to plan my meals ahead of time and to eat natural foods.
The second factor was my mindset. I was absolutely determined to make not only a full recovery, but an improvement in leg strength and flexibility. I believed beyond a doubt I could do it. A little more than a year later, I have not quite achieved my goal, but I am getting a little closer every day. Determination got me through the painful—PAINFUL days of therapy. It helped me overcome my fear of reinjuring myself and kept me from quitting Jiu-Jitsu. Everyone close to me suggested in subtle and not so subtle ways that I should give up Jiu-Jitsu, but I stuck it out and am still training.
Last night I trained at Marcelo Garcia's academy in New York and for the last 50 minutes of class we trained 5-7 minute rounds. I was able to train through the entire class at a very high level. It was a great accomplishment that I never could have achieved without the determination to fully recover and the discipline to carry out a thoughtful diet and exercise plan.
Determination and Fitness can take you through nearly any injury.
Good training to you,
Anthony Butler
