Uros "Vader" Pavlovic
Fans of the fantasy-inspired Warhammer setting have had a lot to enjoy in the past few years. The gaming market has seen numerous titles depicting races and realms from the exhaustive Warhammer history. Strategies like Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War delivered a satisfying interpretation of the particular timeline in the universe, which, in turn achieved its reputation through various tabletop games.
Black Hole Entertainment and Namco Bandai Games are setting foot deeper into the territory of this fantasy universe. Offering gamers a chance to initiate two campaigns (Empire or Chaos), Warhammer: Mark of Chaos follows a specific storyline. Many unique characters are portrayed within these campaigns, so that story-wise, it definitely feels less generic than most RTS games nowadays. In the Empire campaign, players step into the boots of a noble hero named Captain Stefan Von Kessel, a strong-minded war veteran determined to prove his loyalty to the crown. Your alternative is to begin a journey with Throrgar the Blooded One, as you tread along the path of Chaos. Chosen by the gods, Throrgar strives to rally enough fearless warriors so he can reunite the armies of Chaos. It won't be an easy task, since most forces are scattered throughout the land. However, most puny-minded humans are prone to one weakness - they keep underestimating Thorgar and his powers, which certainly gives him a fair advantage on the battlefield.
Each campaign allows you to fight with a pleasing range of races. All races vary in appearance and tend to rely on their own fighting skills when they meet their foes in combat. While you do get to toy around with many unique units throughout both campaigns, it's slightly off-putting to have only two campaigns to choose from (given the vast choice of factions you'd normally find in any Warhammer tabletop game). It does, however, lay groundwork for potential expansion packs that could offer a more comprehensive representation of the Warhammer universe. Another slight disappointment is that we were able to complete one of the campaigns rather quickly. During most scenarios, the gameplay is quick-paced and feels somewhat linear at times, hence it won't be too long until the word 'Victory' pops up on the main screen.
Warhammer: Mark of Chaos borrows several elements from hits such as Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos and RTS classics like Rome: Total War. Actually, Mark of Chaos seems a lot like a mish-mash of the two titles, wrapped in a Warhammer setting. The main interface greatly resembles the one we've seen in WC3, while the battles often resemble the clashes in Rome: Total War (though conflicts rarely manage to gain epic momentum noted in Creative Assembly's renowned strategy). Mind you, the incorporation of these clich'd features is not necessarily a downside. Using known recipes from popular PC titles certainly paid off, since they were implemented quite well, allowing you to grasp the basics of gameplay without any difficulties. Items carried by hero units are easily accessed via the intuitive inventory system. The same thing goes for distributing experience points when you wish to level up your heroes to make them more efficient on the battlefield.
There's a number of facets that make real-time battles interesting. To begin with, you'll often keep an eye on troops during combat, so they can survive through each conflict. Surviving strengthens units in general and makes them tougher against foes. Also, when you rush into the fray, you'll have to make various decisions on the spot, depending on the units that accompany you. As you'd expect it, placing ranged units, like archers, riflemen, or axe-throwers on higher ground is always a good idea. At the same time, you should create a barrier with spearmen and send the cavalry to take out enemy ranged units swiftly.
Heroes are one of the most intriguing aspects of gameplay. If two opposing armies collide, heroes may lock into combat without any other units interfering. At this point, players get to use a wide choice of skills and special abilities during the duel of heroic figures of the Warhammer universe. Reengaging from the duel has severe consequences and could easily reduce moral within your ranks. Proving victorious, on the other hand, encourages the troops to keep fighting until the enemy is vanquished. Such elements help perpetuate an exciting atmosphere throughout battles and give players a chance to test their tactical skills. It's one thing to command a bunch of mindless infantry units, but using heroes and their various abilities and spells is something else. From this standpoint, I found Mark of Chaos to be rather enjoyable.
Fundamentally, though, this game doesn't accomplish much beyond the standard RTS gameplay we've witnesses plenty of times before. So basically, in terms of actual innovation, Mark of Chaos doesn't have a lot to offer. Also, like I've said earlier, it doesn't take you a long time to complete the main campaigns.
Another disadvantage arrived when most of my troops chickened out on me in the middle of a fight. My army had all the advantages - experience, moral and two heroes by their side. Nonetheless, they started taking heavy losses, eventually withdrawing from the conflict for no reason. Other than that, the AI seemed to work just fine and (thank God) I didn't run into any path finding issues. So, for the most part, Mark of Chaos doesn't have any noticeable technical flaws... well, not in the single-player portion anyways. We did experience connection difficulties when attempting to engage in a multiplayer online match. Contrary to that, the game has a surprisingly huge number of options, giving you the opportunity to customize units and armies to your preference. Also, winning LAN matches takes time and is challenging all the way. In other words, the multiplayer definitely comes recommended, especially if you enjoy classic RTS conflicts.
The game falls a bit short in terms of production value, which came as yet another disappointment. The opening sequence is practically breathtaking, and yet for some reason crucial story segments are inadequately presented through low-quality cut-scenes. In game, however, the visuals appear satisfactory when you zoom in on the action, enabling you to check out an impressive amount of details on units and on some of the structures. But as soon as the camera pulls out, the surroundings look almost featureless and colorless for that matter. It's blatant that the designers added specific colors and darker tones to suit the murky ambiance of the Warhammer universe. Still, that should've been done more subtly I think. The game simply cries out for more vivid tones. It just looks a bit too dull and lifeless if you know what I mean.
To sum up, Warhammer: Mark of Chaos probably makes a worthwhile purchase for fans of the universe. RTS fans may also find it entertaining, but not very innovative in terms of the gameplay basics it has to offer. Players take charge of a variety of armies and individual heroes, and there's a lot to come back to if you're into multiplayer LAN matches. Although a lot of different races are at your disposal, the single-player campaign ought to have been a bit more elaborate. The developers plainly created a cornerstone for potential add-ons that could enrich the franchise. Well, here's hoping.
7.7 Good
Interesting plot, entertaining real-time battles, a solid portrayal of Warhammer realms and races;
Nothing particularly original, minor AI problems, connection issues in the multiplayer, single-player campaign is short, dull visuals when zoomed out.

South Presentation
South Presentation is the site of the first Convent founded by Nano and it is here that her remains are buried today.
The number of poor children and the distressed widows whom she patronised in this City (Cork) for nearly forty years, her unremitted efforts in the cause of charity, must raise a monument to her name which will resist the all-destructive hand of time and transmit the knowledge of her virtues to future ages.
Mother Ursula Kavanagh
In this spirit we hope to continue Nano's mission in the city of Cork and to this effect there is an integrated plan in place to develop South Presentation after her own heart.
Development Plan
The Presentation Congregation has been associated with the South Presentation site since its foundation by Nano Nagle in the late 18th century. Due to changes in the role of religious orders, this historic place, of great significance to the social and cultural development of the city of Cork, must adapt to serve new uses while retaining respect for its original ethos and architectural heritage. The Presentation Congregation in association with Cork City Council has commissioned an integrated development plan for the development of this historic precinct. The objective of the plan is to inform and facilitate the future development of the site while maintaining the integrity and spirit of this historic place. The generation of the study will inform the local plan for the South Parish and should provide a catalyst for renewal of the district. The site is characterised by its distinctive geography. Glimpses of the church tower and trees may occasionally be had from various locations in the city, but on the whole its character is of a secret citadel, a green oasis in the city centre.
Once a centre of activity and bustle, the site now contains a number of buildings, which are not used to their full capacity and require major refurbishment. Consolidation is required to maximise use and fund essential repairs. Research and assessment has revealed which elements are most significant so that resources can be directed appropriately and intrusive elements removed to allow renewal of the site.

As an SME concern in the Indian Textile Industry, you stand at the crossroads of the success you have seen in the past and the challenges that come your way in the future. If you are one of the companies that enjoy a global clientele and are heavily reliant on exports, you will find yourself increasingly pressured to adapt to a changing landscape in the times to come. How do you set yourself up for success in such an environment?
However, the lack of operational efficiency, particularly in Indian SME's , is not allowing them to harness the full potential of low cost, high quality manufacturing. We are all familiar with how poor production planning, inaccurate inventory management or ineffective control of accounts payable can wreak havoc, causing us to miss deadlines, compromise on quality and suffer crunches in cash flow. The industry also faces fierce competition from its next door neighbours like China, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Vietnam who are out-doing India in both cost and service. Furthermore, as demand from the West slumps due to recession woes, the outlook for the industry looks bleak unless companies are willing to stand up and make a change. At a time like this, what can you do to ensure that you are ahead of the pack?
A simple and effective solution to ensure smooth and hassle free operations is employing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software to manage your day to day business processes. An ERP software manages planning, production, costing, finance, accounts, marketing, human resource and other business functions in real time. With all these functions automated, business operations are free from manual errors and every step from order to delivery is taken care of. It is a commonly circulated myth that ERP softwares are only suitable for large scale operations . Contrary to popular belief, ERP softwares are highly customizable and serve to benefit companies with small, medium and large scale operations equally. Furthermore, ERP softwares are also customized according to the industry.
As an SME corporation, investment in IT infrastructure tends to take a back seat because of the cost as well as the lack of complete information about how it can benefit your business. To make an accurate cost-benefit analysis on whether the returns on such an investment will be worth it, it is important to understand how the features of this product can translate into savings for your business. To answer this question let us look at some of the specific benefits that you can get from employing an ERP software -
· A sound inventory management tool which automatically alerts you to replenish raw materials, ensuring that you avoid stock-outs.
· A record of all the transactions you have made, vendors you have dealt with and customers you have served, making sure that whatever information you need is available on your fingertips.
· Standardised order forms that allow the system to take orders accurately, making certain that you avoid additional costs and wasted time.
· Tracking of the materials from the warehouse to finished product, so that you can monitor the entire production process and understand where bottle-necks are arising.
· Order fulfillment by dispatch of goods to the corresponding address, avoiding the costs and confusion caused by manual errors while dispatching goods.
· A constant check on accounts payable and cash flow requirements, so that financing can be matched with the operational needs.
· Furthermore, industry specific features like sizes and currency conversion, shade matching etc that can make your life so much simpler.
In short, ERP software's give you the power to adapt to market trends in a jiffy and the comfort of a smooth and efficient operating environment. The savings in time and money amount to producing lower cost products and keeping customers satisfied by constantly delivering on time! Share your thoughts on whether you think ERP software's are the right way to go for your business.

New England area hospitals have reported an alarming influx of patients with ankle, knee and leg injuries. An exhaustive study of treatment and admission records by experts from the Department of Health with the help of the CDC has determined that the epidemic of lower extremity injuries is being caused by so called Patriots 'fans' leaping off of the bandwagon.
The injury seems to be most common on those who became fans after the Super Bowl wins in the early 2000s and the undefeated season of 2007. Some patients claim they landed poorly because their pink helmets impaired their vision.
Said one teenage female patient named Babe who was interviewed while leaving the Mass General on crutches, " I just became a fan because I think Tom Brady is cute. I never knew they would lose 3 games".
Health officials have issued an advisory telling people who call themselves Patriots fans to stay off of the bandwagon in the first place and they won't get hurt leaping off at the first sign of trouble.
More information will be forthcoming on a related sickness called 'whinitis'. It's main symptom is incessant whining about how they always knew that this player or coach stunk despite having lauded them in the past.

COLLEGE PARK, Maryland, December 8. A handful of U.S. National Age Group records fell tonight at the Tom Dolan Invitational. The meet is being broadcast live globally on SwimmingWorld.TV. For all on-demand videos, including interviews and race footage, visit the Event Landing Page.
Allie Szekely, 14, trounced the 13-14 U.S. National Age Group record in the girls 200-yard breast live on SwimmingWorld.TV. Szekely turned in a stunning time of 2:10.22 in the finale.
Szekely's swim smashed the previous record of 2:12.08 set by Olympian Katie Hoff back in 2003. Szekely, of Central Bucks, had a previous best time of 2:12.27 from Junior Olympics in March. Szekely's time this evening would have put her into the B final at the 2012 NCAA Division I Women's Championships.

Reece Whitley, 12, followed up his 200 breast 11-12 U.S. National Age Group record from yesterday by becoming the youngest male ever under 1:00 in the 100-yard breast. He won the 100 breast this evening in an astonishing time of 59.90. Whitley, a 6-4 prodigy from Penn Charter, broke Michael Andrew's short-lived National Age Group record of 1:00.07.
Olympian Brendan Hansen even chimed in on the amazing time.
@swimmingworld what makes him more dangerous is the coach he swims for. Congrats Coach Berkoff and Reece!
— Brendan Hansen (@BrendanHansen) December 9, 2012

A third record fell in the 100-yard back as Texas-commit Jack Conger ripped off a 45.32 to win the event. That performance undercut the 45.34 set by Ryan Murphy earlier this year. Conger and Murphy would have placed second and third at NCAAs last year, behind only Tom Shields' 44.86 to win in March.

NCAP's Janet Hu (52.34), Brooke Malone (1:01.72), Kristina Li (56.51) and Ledecky (49.96) then charted a 3:40.53 in the women's 400 medley relay. That performance bettered the 15-16 U.S. National Age Group record in the event of 3:41.21 set by SwimMAC this weekend at Juniors.

Plenty of other action occurred tonight. NCAP's Devin Truong won the boys 13-14 200 breast in 2:10.62, while teammate Andrew Seliskar topped the boys open 200 breast finale in 1:57.58. NCAP's Rachel Danegger also nabbed the girls 11-12 100 breast title in 1:08.54.
CBST's Hannah Zurmuhl clinched the girls 13-14 50 free crown in 23.49, while NCAP's Janet Hu topped the girls open 50 free in 22.26, just off her 15-16 U.S. NAG of 22.13. CBST's Morgan Scott touched in 24.42 to win the girls 11-12 50 free crown. UDAC's Michael Jensen picked up the boys 13-14 50 free title in 21.21, while NCAP's Zach Hayden downed teammate Joe Pascale, 20.27 to 20.44, in a battle of twentysomethings for the boys open 50 free title. PCAC's Sam Grossi hit the wall in 24.26 to capture the boys 11-12 50 free finale.
NCAP's Annie Boone touched in 54.52 to win the girls 13-14 100 back title, while Janet Hu doubled up with a 52.07 in the girls open 100 back, just half-a-second off Rachel Bootsma's 15-16 U.S. NAG of 51.53. DST's David Crossland topped the boys 13-14 100 back in 52.94.
NCAP's Lea Gwenapp cruised to victory in the girls 13-14 500 free with a 4:56.69, while Ledecky snapped off a 4:34.71 to win the girls open 500 free. That swim just missed shooting down Katie Hoff's 15-16 U.S. NAG of 4:34.21 set back in 2006. UDAC's Michael Jensen topped the boys 13-14 500 free in 4:39.97, while NOVA's Townley Hass won the boys open 500 free in 4:23.47. NCAC's Madison Homovich placed first in the girls 11-12 200 IM With a 2:08.77, while Whitley nearly cracked 2:00 in the boys 11-12 200 IM with a winning 2:00.62.
NCAP's Annie Boone, Reni Moshos, Cassidy Bayer and Hannah Baker topped the girls 13-14 400 medley relay in 3:47.30, while teammates Austin Henry, Timothy Wu, Sam Pomajevich and Brandon Fabian claimed the boys 13-14 400 medley relay title in 3:37.13. RMSC's Jack Conger, Austin Dickey, Jack Foster and Barry Mangold closed out the night with a 3:17.52 to win the boys open 400 medley relay.

Washington opens Pac-12 play Saturday at Washington State and still isn't playing the kind of defense coach Lorenzo Romar would like to see.
Contrary to popular belief, the problems plaguing Washington's men's basketball team have little to do with C.J. Wilcox's occasional off-shooting performance, Abdul Gaddy's inconsistent stewardship of the high-post offense or Aziz N'Diaye's inability to avoid foul trouble.
The Huskies' biggest concern as it opens Pac-12 play 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Friel Court against cross-state rival Washington State is much more basic and worrisome.
They don't play defense very well. Especially on the perimeter.

That's not the opinion of courtside observers. It's an admission from the Huskies.
"One of the things we've been working on is making sure we're guarding on the ball as a team," senior co-captain Scott Suggs said. "We got a man on the ball, but we're guarding the ball as a team and we got four other guys helping that guy on the ball.
"That's the biggest thing we've been working on."
Coach Lorenzo Romar has seen defensive improvement, but noted: "It's been a process that's taken several weeks. … It hasn't happened overnight."
He added: "Early on, teams hurt us from the three-point line. Not as much lately."
Perhaps the most troubling part of Washington's defensive struggles is knowing the same problem was the chief culprit that spoiled last year's Pac-12 regular-season championship and kept the Huskies out of the NCAA tournament.
After the loss to Minnesota in the National Invitational Tournament semifinals in New York, Romar returned home and vowed to improve the defense.
In a rare show of frustration for the even-keel coach, he repeatedly banged his fist on the table when he said: "We must, and will, get back to guarding the way we're capable of guarding in this program. That will be the No. 1 thing."
At the time, he also stressed the importance of keeping opposing guards out of the paint, making it difficult for opponents to make shots, forcing turnovers and taking charges.
Thirteen games into the season, it can be argued the Huskies (8-5) are only marginally better defensively than they were last season, and in many areas they've gotten worse.
Washington is allowing 2.5 fewer points per game at 67.6 and on average opponents are taking fewer free throws, 16.6 per game, down from 22.5.
The Huskies rank last in the Pac-12 allowing opponents to shoot 42.3 percent from the field. They're 11th in the conference by allowing 36.2 percent on three-pointers.
Washington is 11th in the league with 4.3 steals per game, and it has forced an average of 12.5 turnovers, which is ninth.
For the second straight season, the Huskies have been unable to keep guards out of the lane. Making matters worse, they're not providing adequate help near the basket, Romar said.
Despite dreadful performances from Wilcox (five points) and N'Diaye (14 minutes, three fouls and three rebounds) and a season-worst shooting game in last week's 61-53 defeat at Connecticut, UW also lost because of its inability to keep UConn players away from the basket and off the free-throw line. UConn made 15 of 25 free throws.
The Huskies also lost because they forgot how to win games on the road.
"You have to guard when you go on the road," Romar said. "You must guard. Secondly, you have to play with poise and you have to have great shot selection. And you have to take care of the ball.
"At times last year on the road our shot selection wasn't very good, and you're committing basketball suicide."
Washington is 10th in the Pac-12, averaging 12.5 turnovers. Gaddy has 45 and is on pace for 104.
Romar blamed UW's defensive struggles on early-season injuries, which shortened the rotation to seven players and didn't allow the Huskies to play their exhausting schemes that require constant switching.
With the return of reserves Shawn Kemp Jr. (knee) and Andrew Andrews (ankle), Washington has had its full complement of players the past three games. Because the Huskies are finally relatively healthy, it should bode well for their chances Saturday.
They're 5-6 in Pullman against the Cougars under Romar.
Washington needed second-half comebacks to sweep last season's series, including a 59-55 win in their last encounter that was decided on a missed WSU three-pointer in the final 24 seconds.
"We know we're not just going to blow teams out at their place," Wilcox said. "We're going to have to grind out wins. We know it's going to be close at the end.
"The last four minutes have to be ours. We don't expect anything different this year."

Hello all, i am new to this forum and i need some advice as to what bike to buy. I can get a Hardrock pro with Marzocchi MZ III and Sram X - 7s front/rear and Avid shifter for $550 which sounds pretty good. However I can also get a Iron Horse Warrior Expert with Marzocchi MZ I forks and Sram X.0 shifters and derailluers for $580. I am puzzled, which is the better deal and which will stand up through the long haul. Any advice would help thanks, DR.
ps im mostly going to be using the bike for getting around town but also for some trail riding and small hits.

Do you need some of the best stone, rock, flagstone, boulders, or other hardscape for your landscape, building, fireplace, stoneyard or other big project?
If so, then you need to talk with us.
My name is John Schroeder and this is my partner Ralph Schwartz.
We own and have put together
some of the best wholesaling quarries in the business. When
you call or e-mail
us, you talk directly
with either me or Ralph instead of some paid salesman.
piece of product that comes through our warehouse is personally
inspected by us and we have our flagstone
certified by the ASTM (the
international stone standarized organization) for durability and
quality. That way you know our flagstone
will last a lifetime through all seasons and wear and tear.
You can get free samples of our products and we will work with you from "craddle to completion" on any project that you have. We work with contractors with big projects!
We are located in Denver, Colorado right off of I-76 and Federal, but we have retailers in California, Texas, Nebraska, and other parts of Colorado. We are looking to expand and we know our products would help any retailer increase their bottom line.
Shipping can be costly with gas prices so high, but we've made arrangements with truckers to help lower the costs. Therefore, it's best you contact us, so that we can get you some of our gorgeous rock no matter where you live.
Take a look around our site and see our videos and pictures about all of our different products. I'll give you some ideas of what our past customers have done and talk to you in quick videos about the uniqueness of our flagstone.
We really love this business and enjoy helping wholesale landscapers, stoneyards, masons, contractors, architects, or anybody with big stone projects. So, if you're a big contractor, shoot us an e-mail or give us a call right now and let us help you get started.
Thanks for coming by!

cross that bridge when it comes
A night out listening to great music and a ride on my harley.
1st date: Rock-N-Roll Concert with Rusty Burns & BIG WAMPUM. From there, it's off to FUN Land!!! Do YOU know where that is? I do!!! "Hang on Tight and YOU'LL Have a BLAST"!!!
For my first date I would like to go out and have a good time. No pressure, just a laugh!
Casual meeting for coffee,drinks, or dinner.Pretty much open to idea's and or events.Just to see if the chemistry is right or happens.
I would say after some good conversation, go for a drink, coffee, walk on the beach or a ride and see how it goes from there. The possiblites are endless!
talking ,laughing & just being real..
Perhaps we could go for a drink and listen to some live music at any of our great local venues...
Our first date can be a seprize to me as long as it is in a public place , like a patio,
I know everyone likes to keep it simple and meet for coffee to see if there is any chemistry..how about we change it up a little bit and meet for happy meals and keep smiling.
My perfect date is a long ride on the bikes and then dinner and drinks.
dinner and great conversation.........
maybe a nice harley ride to a good blues bar and have a drink and listen to good live music maybe do a little dancing and end with a nice ride in the moon light.
Hmmmm....open to suggestion. It's more about the company.

Check out the new webisode of, "Inside Zappos"! This week Pat and Matt form a Beard Gang. If you missed last weeks episode you can check it out HERE. Don't forget to tune in every other Tuesday for a new episode on blogs.zappos.com.
Zappos Blogs: nerf
Beard Gang!
Things On My Desk, with Pawel S.
Pawel S. from our Development team shares his desk with us. I assume tea time comes after the nerf wars.
Dev's Not All Bad
Ok, so the Development team got a bad rep after the whole nerf gun scenario , and rightfully so, they did get a little carried away. Ok, more than a little carried away, they turned their area into a battleground and who so ever dared to enter was in for a few high speed nerf bullets to the body.
Well, it seems like the trigger happy Dev team has finally retired their nerf weapons – most likely in a location that is easily accessable – but none the less, innocent bystanders are free to walk in the Dev zone without needing a shield of some sort.
Behold, a video clip proving that Dev isn't all bad. You see, they're friendly and waving. For now. Muhahahahahaha.

I do not have the knack for prose that some of you possess but here is my ride report for my MS 150 ride. This year I planned on riding the one day option and going for a century. Unfortunatly my training was off from last lear with several 35 milers being my longest rides. I also did not train on enough hills even though I know the route and there is a section of mid-missouri rollers that are just demoralizing. I rode with a buddy from college and found my self with a 15.2 mph pace through the first 4 stops.(43 miles)
We then hit the rollers and I watched my friend (with my blessing) ride off into the future. Luckily this was only a 6 or so mile stretch of rollers before the lunch break. I started out after lunch with my friend again and said I will see you at the next stop as I knew this was a brutal stretch of incessant rolling hills.
By the time I reached the next stop my avg speed was down to 13.8 mph at mile 59. The next section was a bit of a break from the bigger hills and I cruzed into the final stop before I had to make the decision of century or not. I decided not. I finished strong though and made it to the finish.
81 miles, 14 mph average, 5 and a half hours on the bike.

GDF goes after Alpha United in final
Months of intense football rivalry will reach a climax when Alpha 'The Hammer' United FC and the Guyana Defense Force (GDF) take to the field tomorrow night to determine the champions in the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Super 4 knock-out tournament scheduled for the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) Ground.
Alpha will start as strong favourites by dint of their superior performances at every level of the game. The GDF squad has also enjoyed reasonable successes at high profile tournaments and would be coming with a vengeance to capture this inaugural GFF tournament.
'The hammers' have not been at the top of their game of recent and had meekly surrendered to Fruta Conquerors in the semi finals of this year's Mayor's Cup championships. Further, several key players have demonstrated great skills in centre field but have blundered at the opposition's goal mouth forcing the coach Wayne 'Wiggy' Dover to readjust his mode of application.
That the blunders continued into their first encounter against Puerto Rico club team, River Plate in their first of two games, certainly would not raise the hopes of their supporters of a victory.
However, 'The Hammers' would want to feel that they have made some reparation in the second game where they came away with a 3-2 victory.
The likes of Goalkeeper Ronson Williams, Captain Howard Lowe, Dwain Jacobs, Dwight Peters, Abrams, Philbert Moffatt, Kelvin Mc Kenzie and company will be seeking to make amends by lifting the title.
The GDF will look to the quartet that secured their final place, Delroy Deane, Telson McKinnon, Desford Williams and Travis Hilliman to lead their ambitions of taking the crown.
Only one team could win. Which will it be? Football buffs will just have to be at the venue to witness the action as it unfolds.
The action gets underway with the precursor to the finals, a fitting palate pleaser, where Rosignol United representing the pride of Berbice, throws down the gauntlet the pride of Linden, Milerock, when they collide in the third place playoff. It's a 'don't you dare miss it' affair and the action gets underway at 18:30hrs.

LED Global LightSavers Partners Summit 10 May
- Starts
- 12:00AM, 10 May 2011
- Ends
- 12:00AM, 10 May 2011
- Location
- Shanghai, China
LightSavers is an international consortium of lighting users that seeks to speed up acceptance of LEDs and smart control technologies in outdoor lighting applications such as streets and parking areas. In its first phase, the initiative is undertaking a global trial of LED technologies with ten cities in the US, Canada, the UK, China, India and Australia. These involve rigorous pilot testing of LED products to determine how they perform over a year and more under local weather conditions using a common testing protocol.
Trials have already been installed in nine partner cities: Adelaide and Sydney, Australia; Guiyang, Tianjin, and Yangzhou, China; Hong Kong; New York, US; Kolkata, India; London, UK; and Toronto, Canada. Additional trials will begin early in 2011 in Mumbai, India.
In order to build the consortium partners' knowledge of the LED market and technical performance—and to enhance their capacity to bring the technology to scale in their cities—The Climate Group is organizing the LED Global Partners Summit to be held in conjunction with the Green Lighting Shanghai 2011 event scheduled in Shanghai, China, May 11 – 13, 2011 that is organized and hosted by the China Solid State Lighting Alliance.
The Summit will convene the LightSavers consortium partners worldwide, including China, as well as senior government officials from countries that are strongly supporting LED development and deployment. The key aims of the Summit are to advance acceptance and market readiness for LED and smart lighting control products in municipal applications by:
Sharing performance information from global trials:
- Identifying strategies and financial options for undertaking large scale LED replacement in street lighting and parking area projects (assuming trials demonstrate satisfactory performance).
- Exploring technology options for controlling LED streetlight and parking area deployment to permit dimming, data gathering, and remote management of lighting assets.
- Promoting dialogue among major government players on the policies needed to accelerate a market transition to LED lighting technology.
The Summit will be organized into three parts:
1. A two-day private workshop of LightSavers consortium partners to share trial results and discuss their LED scale-up strategies, with a focus on scale up strategies and financing options;
2. Attendance at public sessions at the Green Light Shanghai 2011 event, including: (a) an international half-day forum of LED government agencies attending the Green Lighting Shanghai 2011 event to share information on their LED roadmaps and policies, and (b) an afternoon session on smart controls and street and area lighting;
3. A one-day field trip to Yangzhou, a LightSavers partners, to visit a large LED streetlight installation and learn about Jiangsu's Province's LED policy, promotional, and industrial strategies.
In sum, the LightSavers Global Partners Summit will assemble the world's leading municipal, state/provincial/regional, national, and corporate leaders who are committed to bringing LEDs to scale. The Summit will advance international dialogue on government policies and financial solutions needed to fuel a fast growing market.
8.30–10.30am: Session 3, Part 1: Scale-up strategies, from trial to tender
Participants will explore the multiple challenges and solutions to scale up, focusing on strategies to move from trials to large-scale procurement, readiness of the market, negotiation strategies with suppliers, relations with local utilities, and consultation with the public. Representatives from cities that are in the process of large scale deployments will serve as experts to the group, including possibly Birmingham, UK, Los Angeles, US, Guangzhou and Yangzhou, China, etc.
10.30 – 11am: Break
11am – 12.30pm: Session 3 (continued)
12.30 – 1.30pm: Lunch
1.30 – 5pm: Session 3, Part 2: Scale-up strategies, financing
A panel followed by discussion will explore successful examples of municipal scale-up of LED technology, and the financial strategies needed to make it happen. Financial experts for the panel will possibly be drawn from HSBC, the World Bank's carbon financing unit, an ESCO, and a private equity firm. Discussion following the panel may focus on:
- Approaches to modeling the financial case for scale-up,
- Turnkey financial solutions for street lighting implementation programs, including: debenture financing, ESCO financing, leasing approaches, privatization, carbon financing,
- Case studies of substantial scale-ups, etc.,
- Role of carbon financing in developing nations.

As for the actual emulation, I think the Genesis emulation is an improvement over Genesis Plus GX. The NES is a-ok as well, but FCE GX is already perfect enough for me, so I'm not worried. The GBC emulation is better, but the GBA emulation is comparable in terms of slowdown to GX, so a bit of a letdown there. Still, however, there is less latency to go around, so I prefer WiiMednafen for Game Boy games of all shapes and sizes now.
The Virtual Boy emulation is a nice addition, runs perfectly, and has plenty of features and color filters. Very nice! Neo Geo Pocket emulation is also great, I've got the whole library on my Wii now (lots of fighting games!). The PCE/TG-16 emulation, on the other hand, appears to need work, as while the games that run are fine, many won't even boot. I'll stick to HuGo for now.
All in all, a very nice combo emulator, and I'm very interested in seeing where future updates lead.

DURING the Perfect Lifestyle '13 Home and Living exhibition, Reliance Home will showcase a variety of shower screens, aluminium doors and windows for homeowners.
The exhibition will be held at Setia City Convention Centre (SCCC) from Dec 6 to 8.
Reliance Metal Industries Sdn Bhd marketing manager Angelica Lee said one of the highlights of the exhibition is the multi-folding glass door that suits homeowners living in condominiums and apartments.
"The multi-folding glass door will create more space for homeowners.
"Its aluminium frame is designed by the company's in-house designer and comes with a multi-panel lock for extra security.
"It also allows for more ventilation compared to the sliding door.
"Those living in high-rise buildings will definitely enjoy the breeze when using this," she said.
Reliance Home glass doors are made of double-layered laminated glass held together by US-imported Saflex Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) film to make it tougher and shatter- proof.
The premium manufacturer of aluminium and glass-related material, the company offers an extensive range of aluminium sliding and swing doors, balcony and staircase glasses as well as skylight and glass.
Another highlight is the shower screen that can be tailored to fit all sizes.
"It is made of tempered glass, with emphasis on safety features without compromising its designs," Lee said, adding that the company would be occupying five booths at the exhibition.
She said the company aims to strengthen its brand presence in the surrounding area as well as educate customers about its products.
"We are optimistic we can meet the demands of homeowners, especially the high-end market. There are many residential projects on the outskirts and the exhibition is timely for homeowners," she said, adding that the company planned to have more showrooms in the near future.
The first 1,000 visitors at the exhibition every day will walk away with a limited-edition Perfect Lifestyle aluminium drinking bottle.
The exhibition is open from 10am to 9pm. Admission is free.

Now you have me a trifle nervous, Peter. Can I really break my ankle trying to kick start this thing? In reading the instructions for kick starting in the link (thank you) I am confused at to the "compression release" & "ammeter & piston position", I do not know what this means. thanks for the continued help my friends
You are all scaring the heck out of me. I usually prefer to have the bike on the center stand and kick from beside it. Good luck!
secondly, are there any electric start kits out there, that aren't terribly expensive?Thanks!
First off, Thanks everyone very much for all your help, I can tell this forum will be a great resource in my ownership of the awesome bike that is, Royal Enfield. I live in Pittsburgh, PA so if anyone is around this area, please let me know I'd love to pick your brain about maintenance & such.Quick question about the "decompression lever"- were is it on a 2000 Bullet 500? And, is this something that you do before kicking over?Thanks again for your continued support!Tim

Apparently we're on Superbowl #2 this week.
Shouldn't ever week be your superbowl? Especially for an up and coming team?
This week is the biggest game of Iowa States season. When it's over Baylor is the biggest game of Iowa States season.

I understand what you're saying and I agree with the mentality that you should treat every game as the biggest of the year (which, as history demonstrates, we have not), but technically if every game is considering the Super Bowl, then you sort of negate the superlative aspect of the title. In other words, if every game is "Super" or the "biggest", then they're really all equal and no one game stands out as being worthy of extra distinction.
If there is a "hawk" in your team name - we're gunning for you!
With a few exceptions, at least they are a little more realistic with their predictions. Those other people were predicting 56 -0.

Go Sssssssssyclones!
I didn't read the article. After that Blog interview yesterday, I've had enough for this year of Kansas. What I am about to say is inferred from other comments.
This argument is absurd. Isn't it the goal of every coach to keep their team up for every game? Make sure they aren't looking past an opponent to the game next week? What better way to do that than treat every game as your Super Bowl. Teams who claim a game against ISU isn't as important to them as it is to us are not thinking clearly. In College football, every game matters. Let Kansas lose to us and try to squeek into a BCS bowl this year. I don't see them beating Mizzu this year. Hell, it's my hope every team looks past us this year. I'll gladly take the moniker, "ISU treats every game like it's their Super Bowl." Means our coach is doing something right.
