Bridgwater Ladies 1st XI 1, Old Bristolians 1st 3
FOLLOWING their disappointment last week, Bridgwater played with more resilience against league leaders Old Bristolians.
The visitors took an early lead but Bridgwater had most of the pressure in the first half.
Kath Briggs and Millie Burridge worked well creating chances in front of goal and the Bridgwater equaliser came from a penalty corner strike from Hayley Greenwell.
The second half saw Bridgwater with further chances as Charlie Lewis and Laura Coles delivered plenty of balls into the D but the final ball just could not be converted into goals.
Late in the game, Bridgwater's concentration lapsed and they had to deal with a spell of intense pressure which saw Old Bs grab two quick goals, although they tried hard for a consolation time wasn't on their side and Old Bs were pleased to hear the final whistle.
Player of the match was Donna Cooper.
Bridgwater Ladies 2nd 1, Taunton Vale 5th 1
BRIDGWATER took the game to Vale, with centre players Sue Chaplin and Suze Daw controlling the midfield and driving into attacking spaces.
Youngster Coralie Dosson with Hayley Williams and Megan Weston regularly closing down the Vale defence forcing them to lose control. Bridgwater snapped up these opportunities to force several penalty corners.
Bridgwater's captain Julie Morrish coolly slotted the ball past the Vale keeper and, at 1-0 Bridgwater, continued to apply pressure, with Miche Evans and Emma Hill linking well and finding excellent positions.
However, the Vale defence managed to absorb the attacks.
The Bridgwater midfield were able to press forward in the confidence that Rachael Higgs, Julie Morrish, Bridget Hedaux and Clare Evci were able to cut out any Taunton Vale break.
In the last ten minutes as Bridgwater pushed for their second, Vale were able to capitalise on a loose pass and the shot whistled into the back of the goal to level the scores.
Bridgwater Men's 3rd 5, Plymouth University 4th 1
PLAYING playing against a team they had smashed 13 past earlier in the season, this game was to prove far more difficult with the opposition keeper making many good saves.
At 0-0, Steve Turvey missed a fairly simple tap-in, however, he scored three before half time with a couple of assists from his skipper and one from Simon Burland, all from close range.
Plymouth Uni scored when the score was 2-0 to Bridgwater with their only effort on goal the whole match.
The second half saw Bridgwater change shape slightly but attack after attack saw no real end result.
A Ben Lewis shot from the top of the D squirted under the keeper and over the line.
With ten minutes to go skipper Morrish, now in his sixth position during the game, from left back scored from a Will Pope cross after stretching outside the left post and controlling before blasting in from two yards out.
Bridgwater Men's 5th 1, Yeovil & Sherborne 4th 6
IT didn't take too long, in fact about a minute, for Yeovil to take control as they scored with their first attack.
The torrential rain took its toll as Yeovil racked up two more goals before the ten minute mark with a fourth added shortly after.
Mike Date, Tom Evans with Gavin Nicol helped run the midfield, with energy and strong tackling getting them into the game more.
Connor Gillespie and Dave Dosson came close to scoring, with Sweatman getting stronger to end what was a poor first half.
Yeovil scored quickly again on the restart, making it 5-0 but, undeterred, Bridgwater decided attack was the better form of defence and started to create more.
Gillespie tackled back well, with Date and Nicol but it was Evans who just missed a good opportunity.
Durkin continued to show he didn't deserve to concede more by making some key saves, and Morrish blocked a short corner strike on the line.
Bridgwater did finally score as Dosson slyly deflected a cross into the goal.
Despite their best efforts, Yeovil got number six late in the game.

Happy Birthday, Michelle Obama! The First Lady's 10 Best Looks of 2011
It's the First Lady's 48th birthday today! Have a very stylish birthday, Michelle!
-Lucia Peters
Guess what, Bettys? It's Michelle Obama's birthday today! Happy birthday to the most stylish First Lady around! Since our fearless FLOTUS is enterting her 48th year today, we thought we'd celebrate the occasion by taking a peek at our favorite of her looks from the year she just left—her 47th. Happy birthday, Michelle!
1. Lady in (Orange) Red
Like Duchess Catherine, the First Lady is a big fan of Alexander McQueen. She sported this stunning orange-red patterned gown at a State Dinner given in honor of China's President Hu Jinato on January 19, 2011. True, her choice of gown cause some controversy due its being from a British designer, rather than an American one; but there's no denying it: She looks fantastic in it!
2. South American Tour
Michelle wore this bright and sunny number during her and Baracks's five day tour of South America in March. Her traveling wardrobe is noted for the fact that it constantly references the regions she visits, and the South American trip was no exception. Her wardrobe here was full of bright colors and bold prints, like this stylish yet comfortable Marc Jacobs dress. Good call.
Read Happy Birthday, Kate Middleton! Duchess Catherine's 12 Best Looks
3. Euro-Casual
President and Mrs. Obama hit Europe in May, and she donned some gorgeous outfits during the trip. She went casual at Oxford University by pairing an Alexander McQueen Victorian Bustle cotton shirt with a matching, multi-buckled belt. Cool, chic, and pulled together.
4. Tea with the Queen
Okay, so technically she and Barack didn't have tea with Queen Elizabeth—they went one step further and had dinner with her! Michelle looked royally beautiful in an off-the-shoulder Ralph Lauren gown with some major bling strung around her neck.
5. On the Go
Another terrific colorful travel outfit, Michelle wore this on a flight to New York in September. The multi-print silk dress is by Duro Olowu; and because she's awesome, she turned it into even more of a statement by adding a canary yellow cardigan, orange flats, and a thick red belt. The laughter is the best accessory of all, though!
More great First Lady looks, including what to wear to a luncheon in Hawaii, up next!

HOUSTON - Thieves stole more than just a truck and trailer in southeast Houston, KPRC Local 2 reported Tuesday.
The owner of Puppets in Action said they also stole his livelihood, puppets and mascots.
Anthony Lazo, a professional puppeteer, said he parked his truck in front of a restaurant on the Gulf Freeway at Winkler Drive on Sunday.
When he came out, his truck and red cargo trailer were gone and he called the police, Lazo said.
The truck was found early Monday, but the trailer and the puppets were missing.
Lazo said the puppets were more than a business supporting him and his family. He said it was a ministry.
"It's just pure puppets," he said. "We got mascots. We have everything we work with. It's me and my wife. It's a ministry that we've been having for 10 years. We do puppeteering for different churches."
Anyone who has information about the stolen trailer full of puppets is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – When the Saint Leo softball team stepped onto the field last fall, 25 girls who came from all different parts of the country never dreamed of the future that lay ahead.
With a 40-14 regular season record, the Lions softball team has notched award after award during the 2013 season, claiming Saint Leo's first-ever conference championship title since the Sunshine State Conference softball championship inception in 1981. In addition, three Lions were named to the All-SSC First Team, four were named to the All-SSC Second Team, and head coach John Conway was honored with conference's Coach of the Year award.
With more newcomers on the roster than returners, it seemed like the Lions team was starting fresh, and in many ways, they were.
"This year is 100% different from last year," says sophomore outfielder McKenzie Burns. "The team chemistry is unbelievable. We worked so hard during the fall and throughout the spring to get to this point."
The team has completely transformed in the span of a year; going from 22-32 in the 2012 season to collecting over forty regular-season wins just a year later. And what's more? The Lions softball team has attributed their success to one thing and one thing only: their "family first" motto.
"We were successful because we bought into the process; we worked hard and we came together as a family," said junior-transfer Sarah Steiner. "We hit some bumps in the road but together we made it through."
Saint Leo's roster boasts just ten returners (most of whom are sophomores), as well as six junior-transfers, nine freshmen, and a new assistant coach, but at the end of the day, age and tenure matters not.
"This has to be the closest group of girls I've ever played with," says junior-transfer Brittany Ewing. "Deciding to transfer here was a decision I will never regret. I've loved the people I've met here and the chance to be on this team."
Every day is a new challenge for this group of girls, and they're excited to take on the new challenge that each day brings. Whether it's a practice session, a hard workout, or a game, this Lions team works hard and refuses to accept defeat.
"I couldn't ask for a better team to finish playing softball with," says senior pitcher Megan Still. "They never give up and I have never been a part of a team that fights like they do."
So what's in store for this Saint Leo softball team? Their post-season hopes become a reality tomorrow afternoon when they step on the field to take on the University of Tampa in the first round of the NCAA South Region Tournament.
"Hard work WILL pay off; believe me," says senior Rachelle Gremo. "I'm not done yet and neither is the rest of my team."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/3/2012 (1998 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WHEN Paul Robles' family immigrated to Winnipeg from the Philippines in the early 1970s, his parents were nervous about being robbed during the trip.
So they hid important family papers and money in the form of bonds inside the lining of three-year-old Paul's tiny, formal suit. They made sure his grandmother kept hold of his hand.
"My mom and dad thought if we got mugged in transit, they would never take the little boy," says Robles with a delighted laugh.
Now 42, Robles is an accomplished artist whose work has been shown in Paris and New York, as well as at the Winnipeg Art Gallery and many other local galleries. The boy who once carried hidden documents has been working for the past decade with paper cutting. Seated at a table, using sharp blades that nick holes in the paper, he creates and collages intricate, brightly coloured works that resemble lace doilies or children's scissor-cut snowflakes.
It's extremely time-consuming, but Robles loses himself in it. "It's kind of like drawing with a knife," he says. "I can look up and it's three hours later."
Pop-culture allusions are often hidden in the Asian-influenced animals that recur in the works -- snakes, monkeys, tigers, sparrows, peacocks, roosters, moths. There are elegant peacocks, for instance, with erotic (though not graphic) lacy plumage collaged from 1970s or '80s pornographic magazines. A rooster, when you look closely, is made from pages torn from video-game magazines.
Robles says he's interested in gender stereotyping. He plays with viewers' assumptions by mixing violent or erotic content with a technique that is presumed to be pretty, decorative, craft-like and feminine.
"I'm trying to juxtapose maleness, or male imagery, with something really beautiful and delicate and precious," he says.
Winnipeggers of Filipino heritage have more commonly pursued singing and dance than visual art. Robles says his two sisters went that route, performing in the Magdaragat folk troupe while he and his four siblings were growing up in Wolseley.
But Robles was always a visually artistic kid, and when he decided to pursue art studies at the University of Manitoba after earning a sociology degree at the University of Winnipeg, his parents were supportive.
The 1996 art-school grad originally focused on photography, but started experimenting with origami and then became captivated by paper cutting.
Cyclists might recognize his style from laser-cut steel bicycle racks on Broadway. In 2007, his bike-rack design of a monkey riding on a sparrow was one of three selected from 275 entries for the public art project.
Robles holds a full-time job as the box-office manager at the MTS Centre while spending as much time as he can at his studio in the East Exchange. He and his wife own a house in what he jokingly calls "NoPo" (north of Portage Avenue, as opposed to Wolseley).
Robles says his heritage is not consciously reflected in his art. "I don't have Filipino imagery in my work," he says. "I just consider myself an artist. But I am drawn to Asian imagery."
There is a paper-cutting tradition in the Philippines, he says, but it's usually seen in banners on religious themes. Robles, who has relatives in China and made a trip there five years ago to study paper cutting, is more interested in small-scale Chinese "paper cuts."
They're usually circular, intricately snipped with scissors out of red tissue paper and based on the Chinese zodiac. They're often tucked inside a card to express congratulations or good luck, he says.
Since losing his father last year, Robles has been drawn to a suitcase his dad left behind. It's crammed with immigration papers -- material evidence of the journey 40 years ago that changed his family's destiny.
"I don't know if I necessarily want to cut it up," the artist says. "I don't know if my mom will let me. But it's a symbol of my dad. It might be the first project that would address my Filipino heritage."

The grain markets remained strong Thursday. Although the equity indexes set back from their early highs and the dollar bounced from its lows, numerous commodity markets, including corn futures, sustained their bullish reactions to Wednesday's Fed news. Ultimately, expectations for improved demand in the changed environment are supporting commodity values. December corn climbed 3.25 cents to $4.595/bushel at Thursday's close, and May rose 3.25 cents to $4.8025.
The soy complex beans turned mostly lower as Thursday passed. Despite the supportive implications of the Fed announcement that it will not taper its quantitative easing program in the near future, soybean and product futures were mixed Thursday. The weekly Export Sales report also seemed modestly bullish. Improved Corn Belt weather reportedly undercut soybeans, whereas active traders lifting of meal/oil spreads depressed the former and boosted the latter. November soybeans closed 8.25 cents lower at $13.395/bushel Thursday afternoon, while October soyoil gained 0.24 cents to 42.75 cents/pound, and October soymeal skidded $5.4 to $421.6/ton.
Wheat futures also sustained their post-Fed rally. The wheat market surge largely exceeded the gains posted in the corn pit. That may stem from expectations for much improved export demand, since many felt that high U.S. prices would limit sales to a glutted global market this winter. The strong result on the weekly Export Sales report probably reinforced bullish ideas. December CBOT wheat jumped 10.5 cents to $6.57/bushel in late-Thursday trading, while December KCBT wheat surged 9.5 cents to $7.02, and December MGE futures moved up 8.25 cents to $7.085.
Cattle futures also rallied in response to the Fed announcement. Modest wholesale gains probably played a role in subsequent CME strength, but the Fed news was probably the main driver of the Chicago rise. That is, rising equity markets and dollar weakness are thought to encourage domestic and foreign beef demand, respectively. October cattle futures advanced 0.65 cents to 125.92 cents/pound at its Thursday settlement, while December added 0.77 to 129.72. Meanwhile, October feeder cattle leapt 1.07 cents to 159.37 cents/pound, and January surged 1.05 cents to 159.97.
Cash weakness seemingly undermined hog futures again Thursday morning. Hog futures also posted a strong reaction to the bullish implications of Wednesday's Fed news. However, CME prices have since declined. That probably reflects disappointing cash market losses Wednesday and mediocre calls again this morning. October hog futures settled down 0.57 cents at 91.15 cents/pound Thursday, while December fell 0.65 cents to 87.30.

A PLEA for help has been issued by a Clarets midfielder after his Championship promotion medal and shirt was taken from his car.
Scott Arfield, 25, also saw his medal and memorabilia from his successful League One promotion campaign with Huddersfield Town taken.
Arfield, who signed a deal earlier this month to keep him at Turf Moor, informed his 10,440 Twitter followers about the theft yesterday.
He said: "Had my Hudds & burnley promotion medals and shirts stole from my car last night any help will greatly appreciated . Thank you."
His plight was recognised by at least two former team-mates last night, as collectors were also warned to be on their guard, in the event of any attempt to resell the medals.
Former Claret striker Charlie Austin, now of QPR, said he hoped that 'Scotty' would soon get his medals and shirts back.
And ex-Huddersfield Town team-mate Lee Croft added: "That's shocking mate. Those things can't be replaced! Hope u get them bk some how..."
Arfield, who made 49 appearances for Burnley last season in league and cup competitions, was unavailable for further comment last night.

Brentford recorded their third consecutive 2-2 draw at home when they drew with Bury at Griffin Park on Saturday.
Facing a side battling relegation which had clearly come to defend, the Bees twice took the lead, but failed to hold onto it both times.
Brentford started brightly, with Tom Adeyemi breaking into the box and seeing his low shot blocked for a corner.
Midway through the half Adam Forshaw broke down the right and his cross into the six yard box was well cut out by Trevor Carson.
A rare chance for Bury at the other end came when Zac Thompson shot wide of the left hand post from 25 yards out.
A quick break by the Bees saw Adeyemi feed Shaleum Logan on the right but his cross from the right was volleyed high over the bar by Marcello Trotta.
Bury then saw Thompson's cross from wide on the right cut out by Simon Moore, while Clayton Donaldson fired wide for Brentford just before the break.
Brentford made the breakthrough seven minutes into the second half when Donaldson broke down the right, found Logan, whose cross to the back post was headed home by Harry Forrester.
Yet the Shakers drew level a quarter of an hour later when Tom Soares latched onto a long ball out of defence and fired past Moore.
The Bees replied almost immediately when Bury failed to clear a corner and after the ball pinged around the Shakers' box, Trotta stroked it home only three minutes later.
However, Brentford's defence was caught out again by another long ball when Logan was exposed and allowed Soares to cross from the left for Nicky Ajose to glance the ball past Moore.
Despite their best efforts the Bees failed to find a way past the stubborn resistance of their opponents and were forced to settle for another draw at home.
Brentford: Moore, Logan (sub Saunders 78), Dean, Craig, Bidwell; Forshaw, Douglas, Adeyemi, Forrester (sub Barron 82); Trotta, Donaldson
Subs (not used): Lee, Hodson, Hayes, Diagouraga, Kiernan
Attendance: 5137
Man of the Match: Adam Forshaw
Goals: Forrester 52, Trotta 68

Some of the Arizona Cardinals are saying Sunday's matchup in Denver is just another game.
Inside linebacker Larry Foote and coach Bruce Arians know otherwise.
Foote calls it a "statement game," a contest that, if Arizona was to pull off the upset, would leave the Cardinals unbeaten and shape the national perception of the team as a legitimate power in the NFL.
Arians says it's special to play against someone like Peyton Manning on a national stage, with the game the featured afternoon contest on Fox.
Arizona is a 7½-point underdog, and the Cardinals will once again be without quarterback Carson Palmer, who remains sidelined with a "dead" nerve in his throwing shoulder.
Drew Stanton will get his third straight start at quarterback for the Cardinals.

THIS was about the dampest squib of a game you're ever likely to come across. In every single sense.
Amongst heavy rain and driving winds, Swindon Town and Colchester United cancelled it out like seasoned chess grandmasters. And it was about as thrilling to watch from a spectators' point of view.
Swindon weren't poor. In patches they moved the ball around the rutted County Ground pitch with composure and class – but too often those passes went sideways and backwards, incisive movement was rare and at the end of it all a point must be considered not quite good enough.
Colchester didn't offer much going forward. They were well drilled at the back and offered occasional glimpses of attacking threat but, especially after Sanchez Watt was sent off for an apparent headbutt on Nathan Thompson with 20 minutes remaining, they were left to park the bus.
It could have been a minibus and Town wouldn't have scored. Only Alex Pritchard tested Sam Walker in the U's goal in anger and generally half-chances came and half-chances went, ebbing and flowing like the various small streams that had formed on the touchlines.
There was little to report about, other than the wonders worked by the groundstaff to get the match on in the first place. Two points dropped certainly, and perhaps even greater repercussions given Ranger had to come off late in the first half due to injury.
The men and women who'll take most out of the tie were the 96 hardy souls who'd trekked down from Essex in the wind and rain. For the rest, everything still felt cold at the final whistle.
Mark Cooper kept faith with the same XI which began the 3-2 victory over Port Vale last weekend, while the County Ground pitch was only deemed playable by referee Darren Sheldrake at 6.55pm on his third assessment.
The ball still rolled well enough over the turf in the opening exchanges and, though Town started with rhythm and fluency, passing around with composure in midfield, Colchester had the first sight of goal in the seventh minute.
Troy Archibald-Henville went in late on Marcus Bean on the edge of the area and, from a good position, Ryan Dickson curled the resulting free-kick over the crossbar. Swindon had their first attempt 10 minutes later. Nathan Byrne swung in a cross from the left and Michael Smith's deft touch couldn't quite steer the ball inside U's goalkeeper Sam Walker's near post.
Pritchard brought a good save out of Walker in the 21st minute, fizzing a shot in from 25 yards which had the former Chelsea stopper reaching high to his left to push the ball out for a corner. Moments later, Dominic Vose came within inches of putting through his own net after Walker deflected Pritchard's superb low cross onto his shins but the U's man could breathe a sigh of relief as the ball dribbled behind.
Walker was back in action again in the 25th minute, saving from Dany N'Guessan after his ;loose clearance picked out Massimo Luongo midway inside the Colchester half, but perhaps the most notable moment in the first half came just outside the centre circle four minutes before the break.
Ranger seized possession inside his own half and began a canter towards goal but pulled up within seconds holding his groin and immediately made his way for the treatment room.
The big frontman was replaced by Jacob Murphy in stoppage time at the end of the opening period, while Pritchard again tested Walker after turning nearly in the box, but a pretty uneventful half drew to a quiet close.
Byrne sent a wild shot well wide minutes after the restart, as both teams continued to find it hard to force themselves into a rhythm, while Smith headed well wide from Byrne's left-wing cross in the 61st minute.
The game was slowly drowning. In front of a depleted crowd, whose enthusiasm had been understandably stifled by the wet weather, both sides lacked the necessary spark to turn scattergun possession into something more tangible.
That looked like it might have come in the 69th minute. Watt, who had been booked in the first half for a foul on Nathan Thompson, took exception to the Swindon full-back confronting him following a challenge on his brother Louis and threw what appeared to be a headbutt in the direction of his opponent.
Referee Sheldrake had no hesitation in reaching for the red card and handing Watt his marching orders. Colchester boss Joe Dunne threw on Gavin Massey and Alex Gilbey in response, unwilling to sacrifice the chance of a victory in favour of shutting up shop, but they barely made tracks into the Town half.
At the other end, Swindon enjoyed plenty of possession and territory but couldn't find a way around a well-drilled Colchester defensive line. By the time the game reached its final 10 minutes Town were playing at walking pace, trying every key in box to unlock the rearguard in front of them and failing pretty miserably at it.
The attacking unit was static, passes went from left to right and back again. For the spectators, huddled together to shield themselves from the cold, it was like catching a Newton's Cradle in action. While sat in a fridge.
Pritchard sent a free-kick into the Stratton Bank in the final minute as Swindon simply couldn't click into anything like top gear, while Byrne sent a fizzing snapshot wide from 15 yards in stoppage time and Nathan Thompson guided Pritchard's cross wide.
And still the rain kept falling.

Enforced holidays are not unusual in the current climate as companies seek to cut costs by encouarging staff to take extra holiday for little or no pay.
But the chief investment officer of an asset management firm visiting the FT revealed his enforced holiday, coming up soon, was due to a policy put in place to guard against rogue traders. It was instigated in response to Société Générale's €4.9bn trading loss at the hands of trader Jérôme Kerviel, revealed in January 2008.
Mr Kerviel did not go on holiday much, apparently, having had four days off in the eight months before the problems were discovered. He was asked to take a break in December 2007 but declined to do so. He had to be at work to maintain his deception about the large trades he was making. Failing to demand he take time off was seen in retrospect as a mistake.
The FT reported at the time that most investment banks require traders to take at least two consecutive weeks' holiday a year, which limits the scope for concealing their positions.
Asset managers have followed their lead, it seems, with this group, Baring Asset Management, imposing a minimum eight day break. Workaholics are not allowed to indulge their addiction.
How common is such a policy in the asset management world I wonder?

The purpose of this article was to create the Typology of Coaching Transgressions model (TOCT), which is concerned with abuse, neglect and violence in youth sport. Comments provided by the Justplay Behaviour Management Program from two competitive hockey associations and one large soccer association were analyzed and sorted to assess the utility of the model to capture inappropriate coaching behaviours. A total of 540 comments were examined deductively using the TOCT. Approximately 80% of coaching transgressions were of an indirect nature (i.e., not directed at the athlete specifically), indicating that young athletes are exposed to forms of abuse, neglect, and violence that may create harm in ways not yet fully understood. These findings illuminate the importance of understanding the nature and impact of coaching conduct on youth sport participants.

Civilian Conservation Corps Vets To Gather At Garner State Park
CONCAN, Texas — Dozens of surviving members of a unique American fraternity that planted billions of trees, stocked almost a billion fish and developed 800 state parks will kick up their heels and reminisce about their days in the Civilian Conservation Corps during a two-day reunion at Garner State Park.
Billed as "A Dance to Remember," the CCC reunion will take place Sept. 16-17 on the banks of the Frio River at Texas' most popular camping park. Garner State Park is renowned for its beautiful Texas Hill Country scenery and its nightly dances each summer at the rock concession building constructed by the young men of CCC Company 879 in the late 1930s.
"We're the only state park with a CCC pavilion that still uses it for dancing," park manager Craig VanBaarle.
Reunion festivities will begin at 1 p.m., Friday, Sept. 16 with registration and the recording of oral histories of the "CCC boys" whose average age is 86, followed by a bus tour of the 1,484-acre park. The day's activities will conclude with a 6 p.m. program to honor the CCC veterans and a dance at the dance pavilion, which is built of native limestone and cypress. Highlighting Saturday's schedule will be hayride tours of the park and 5 p.m. spaghetti supper with cowboy music and poetry.
"All CCC veterans, including those who've worked in any CCC camp in the nation, as well as their families and the general public, are invited to attend," said TPWD's Janelle Taylor, who is coordinating the event. "We who enjoy our parks today owe a debt of gratitude to these hard-working, talented men who built the backbone of our Texas state park system."
One of the CCC alumni who will be attending the reunion is Henry Trees, who served at Garner in 1941. Trees served as a carpenter, helping to build cabins and other park structures. He also hung the iron chandelier still hanging in the concession building next to the famous dance floor.
Taylor suggests that those CCC veterans wishing to attend should contact her to receive an invitation that includes lodging options and other reunion details. She can be reached by calling (512) 389-4665 or via e-mail at email@example.com.
New this year, Taylor said, will be a re-enactment to portray some of the skills training that took place at the more than 4,000 CCC camps in the United States. TPWD employees will portray the LEMs (Local Experienced Men), who were hired to teach the young CCC workers how to use various tools and do various kinds of construction. Young men and women from the AmeriCorps, a national volunteer service program, will play the roles of the CCC workers learning how to use such antique tools as the two-man band saw and an adz, an ax-like tool.
A total of 50 young men and women between the ages of 17 and 25 from American YouthWorks in Austin employed in the Environmental Corps and Casa Verde Builders service programs funded by through AmeriCorps will visit Garner State Park. Some of the AmeriCorps workers will participate in the CCC re-enactment, while others will arrive earlier in the week to work on hiking trails, park cabins and do general maintenance in preparation for the reunion.
At Garner State Park, the skilled craftsmanship of the CCC workers is evidenced not only in the rock concession stand, but also in the park manager's residence, numerous rock culverts, more than 10 miles of trails cut through the lush Frio River valley and park cabins that feature ornamental metal hinges and latches.
Garner State Park is one of 31 CCC-built Texas state parks operated by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. It was named for Vice-President John Nance Garner, a Uvalde County native who was known as "Cactus Jack." Other popular CCC state parks include Balmorhea, Bastrop, Caddo Lake, Davis Mountains, Inks Lake, Longhorn Cavern and Tyler.
From 1933-1945, thousands of young men between the ages of 17 and 25 worked in more than 150 CCC camps scattered throughout Texas. The CCC in Texas developed not only state parks, but also Big Bend National Park, two national forests, El Paso's Franklin Canal System and dozens of city and county parks.
The Garner gathering follows a CCC reunion held last year at Caddo Lake State Park and one at Bastrop State Park in 2003 to mark the 70th anniversary of the CCC's creation by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to provide jobs to millions of young men during the Great Depression. The City of Dallas Parks and Recreation Department will host the 2006 National CCC Reunion next year.
Garner State Park is located 31 miles north of Uvalde on Ranch Road 1050, just off U.S. 83, halfway between Leakey and Concan. For more park information, call (830) 232-6132.

"Angostura is a reflection of the society in which we live. It is a melting pot of energy, personalities and culture. But within this melting pot, Angostura has its own unique culture…..one of camaraderie, loyalty progression and opportunity"
"I've often said that I "grew up" in Angostura. Fresh out of A 'levels and pursuing my Bsc. Management (part- time), Angostura afforded me the opportunity to pursue my studies whilst meeting my financial obligations. The men and women with whom I worked in Production taught me valuable lessons about the real world....They were my sounding board when I needed it as well as my advocates. I also got free advice on anything and everything. My years in production were a revelation."
"My current position as Market Development Officer (Caricom) allows me to do something I really enjoy. I work with people who are equally passionate about our products as I am. It's about accepting and respecting each other and building relationships to get the job done. Its hard work but it's hard work with laughs, cheers, shots and drinks mixed in."
"I was thrilled that I was offered the Graduate Work Intern position in the Corporate Communications department at Angostura Ltd. Angostura appreciated and accepted the fact that I was a young graduate. They took a chance on me. I've only been with the company for a few months now, but limited time has not translated into limited experiences. I've met great people and learned many things, which in the life of a 23 year old is invaluable. There is opportunity to grow and learn in this world renowned company and that is the reason why I love working here."
"I love working at Angostura because of its rich history and because it is a producer of a world class product. It has the prestige of being the holder of a Royal Warrant. In addition, our products can be found in at least 95 countries worldwide - Angostura truly flavours the world."
"My personal success has been enhanced by the completion of relevant training — It has enhanced my career as a true professional."
"I started to work as a janitor 1973, and I have since moved up through the ranks. I am now a supervisor and I love my job. Angostura inspires me daily and my colleagues give me courage to conquer all challenges every day. I encourage you - Join the Angostura's family. You just can't find this anywhere else."
"My Angostura Experience – Rewarding, Inspiring and Enjoyable."
"I work at Angostura's main laboratory as the Quality Control Manager."
"Our vibrant and diligent lab team ensures that all Angostura's products are made according to the high quality standards which the Angostura name is synonymous with. We are involved in testing, reporting, research and development."
"My journey began as a graduate work intern in the laboratory where I was greeted by a modest family of employees equipped with vast knowledge and experience.... willing to share and nurture. With their thorough training, support and exposure to several dimensions of quality control and assurance, I was able to learn, experience and progress in my career and as an individual."
"The Angostura environment is one of hard work and high performance insulated with exciting social, cultural and community based activities. It's truly a blessing to be a member of this distinguished and diverse family!"
"Working in the Information Technology department at Angostura has been a rewarding experience. There are many opportunities for professional and personal growth, as many types of training are offered to employees as well as the opportunity to attend professional events and to network."
"Within our department we have a great sense of camaraderie and team spirit. As a department, we are guided and supported by our manager and this drives our ability to improve and to be innovative."
"Angostura is a very dynamic place of work. There are always events taking place which allow you the opportunity to bond with fellow staff members and to be a part of the company's culture and to take pride in its products."
"It is not surprising that many employees provide service to the company until retirement age. It is truly the Angostura family."
Since moving to Angostura just under twenty years ago, I've always felt that the company provided me with the space to explore my unlimited initiative to exercise my creativity and skills in the area of Human Resources and in particular, the Employee Relations and Benefits areas of which I've spent most my time.
Throughout my tenure the company has afforded me the opportunity to grow as an individual by the interactions with employees from all over the organization. Whilst I've learnt from them, it has given me the scope to enhance lifestyles and hopefully employees benefited from the many initiatives developed through my involvement in ER & B, Auditing, OH&S, Wellness, Events and several other interests that my being part of this organization has allowed me to experience.
Angostura continues to forge ahead to maintain and exceed its goals and objectives in this tumultuous economic time. Having been a part of this family like culture, as it is so called internally, and witnessed its challenges and changes, I am proud to express that every bit of it has been a positive and worthy experience that I can only continue to move forward with it, benefiting from its dynamic structure and ever growing vision, savoring the aromatic scents of our bitters!

Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami has made such great movies including the masterful "A Taste of Cherry" and the emotional "Certified Copy" that one shouldn't get upset when he makes a merely good one, as "Like Someone in Love" is.
It begins in a Tokyo nightclub as a call girl, Akiko (Rin Takanashi), reluctantly gets her assignment for the night: a widowed literary scholar, Takashi (Tadashi Okuno), who's looking for companionship. When Akiko arrives at Takashi's apartment, a sexual arrangement does not ensue. Instead, Takashi takes a grandfatherly interest in the girl, driving her to her college class the next morning and encountering her abusive and unstable boyfriend (Ryo Kase, from "Letters From Iwo Jima").
Kiarostami lets the moments between Akiko and Takashi unfold naturally, as these characters from different worlds find common bonds. The relationship builds, but toward the end there's the nagging sense that it won't build to much.

xTRICKYxx - Monday, March 10, 2014 - linkThank you for this article. Now I'm frustrated with Qualcomm's naming schemes. Reply
blanarahul - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkSo, Z2 has 8974AB v3 and S5 is using 8974AC v3.
One question. Why in the world does the 8974AB v3 exists?? Is 190 MHz that huge a difference?? Reply
blanarahul - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkI know that the main difference b/w 8974VV v2 and 8974 AA v2 wasn't of 110 MHz but of voltages and power efficiency. So I guess the same difference applies to 8974AA v3 and 8974AB v3 as well with 8974AC v3 being an overclocked 8974AB v3.
Stupid Qualcomm. Was it really hard to just call it 8975 and get away with it?? Reply
jerrylzy - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkActually there's never a 550MHz 8974ab in the market. All 8974abs' GPUs are clocked at 578MHz.
Qualcomm's naming is a total mess. It's so confusing.

1. 8974Pro = 8974ab/ac.
2. There are revised and non-revised 8974Pro.
3. No S800 8974ab or S801 8974aa.
The difference between the revised and non-revised ones is the binnings and voltage tables: the revised s801 chips have 16 binnings and non-revised ones have 8 binnings.
I think Anand can use these source codes to clear up the confusion. Reply

kenansadhu - Monday, March 10, 2014 - linkConsidering Samsung always boast about any minor increase they have over the competition, I'm curious about their decision not to say the S5 has S801 in them. I think, there are 2 possible explanation for this:
1. They don't want the S5 to look better than the Note 3 (make sense, cause probably they decided to put 2GB of RAM on the S5 for this reason)
2. They are past gimmicks and want the actual performance to do the talking (unlikely, but will be one of the best things that happened to samsung) Reply

HardwareDufus - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkDSDA will help those of us splitting time equally between Sonora Mexico and Arizona USA. Both states use metric on the highways, english/spanish interchangeably and neither follows daylight savings time. But, I absolutely have to have to cell pone providers for my phone to keep it all affordable (AT&T USA, TelCel Mexico). DSDA will be fantastic for so many of us living along borders! Reply
HardwareDufus - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linksorry, run away auto spell checking.... two cell phone providers (two SIMs). Reply
Penti - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkGiven or considering that the US has many regional providers I could guess many people who only cross state lines or just work/live in different cities would have use for dual-sim devices too, maybe at least people who tries to use pre-paid. Not that many would buy unsubsidized devices in the US. The thing with DSDA is that you could receive calls from both numbers/sims. Not terribly useful in my country as all providers has a or shares their national network and plans are pretty equal, if your an expat / immigrant living here that has a card/provider to call your home country with (that is cheaper) it might be useful here. In the developing world there are obviously different needs and conditions were it might make sense. These are high-end chips though, so it's not exactly for the rural Indian. Reply
hrrmph - Wednesday, March 12, 2014 - linkExactly!
The entire USA media is afraid to let us in on the advantages of Dual-SIM Dual-Active for domestic consumption.
Having experienced it overseas, I'm a big fan of it. It is touted as a cheapo feature, but in my mind it is a high-end feature for people who need / can afford to have two providers SIM chips (or in some cases, more than 2 providers, especially on pay-as-you-go plans where you only pay for what you use when you need to use it).
Since all USA telecoms have some coverage gaps and some areas where weak signals can hamper connectivity, I could really see this as a benefit for traveling business people.
The first step is to always buy an unlocked device, preferably *not* from your telecom. Being able to do that is still sadly a premium market, although the situation is getting better as the cost of unlocked phones comes down.
The second step is a bit harder: finding flagship premium devices that have the requisite Dual-SIM slots.
Once you have a Dual-SIM capable device, then you buy SIM chips (typically AT&T and T-Mobile in the US, and various others for other countries if you need them).
Then you load the appropriate short-term (for your target travel area) SIM-Chips into the device's Dual-SIM slots and activate them.
You'll enjoy much better coverage by being able to easily get the telecom that has the best (or in some cases, only) signal without having to do much fussing with changing chips frequently (just leave them in the device - the Dual-SIM Dual Active features means you will very likely always have good signal and you are able to easily choose which signal you would like to use).
For more complex trips, you simply carry with you, or buy-as-you-go, spare SIM chips for your more distant travel sectors. Just fit them into the device later on in the trip when they are needed.
When your labor / time is money and / or when you just absolutely have to be connected to the best connection if at all possible, then DS-DA is actually a high-end feature...
It's about time we start recognizing it as such. You pay more, but you get more capability.
How much more you pay (if any) varies. The SIM chips and pay-as-you go schemes are fairly reasonable. But the high-end flagship devices that are DS-DA capable are hard to find and typically are built for the uber high-end Asian market.
These high-end models (like the DS-DA variants of the Samsung S5 and Note 3) aren't to be confused with the low-end Asian and Indian models. The low-end models are economy products often used for families and friends who share a device, but who still want separate billings, and thus want multiple SIM chips.
The high-end models are for people who want maximum mobility and the ability to seamlessly catch the best signals no matter who the provider is. Some people at the high-end also like having two separate phone numbers that they can easily switch on and off at will through the menu on a DS-DA device.
A fly in the ointment in the US now is getting the telecom systems built-out with reasonably standardized telecom frequencies and bands, and even more importantly, getting DS-DA devices for sale that have sufficient frequencies and bands to travel widely. Reply
HardwareDufus - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - linkSome people at the high-end also like having two separate phone numbers that they can easily switch on and off at will through the menu on a DS-DA device.
That's me right there. I'll be doing the clumsy SIM Swap at the border on Sunday and Monday. Of course if I'm in the US for more than a few hours... I also have to swap out from time to time to check my email. Would love to just be dual active for the time I need it.
I'm on a plan on the Mexican side.... and a pay as you go on the USA side.... I don't mind a small amount of Data Roaming to continue to recieve my emails on the USA side, but I like making all of my US calls with my US SIM. Reply

phoenix_rizzen - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkNow, if only a phone manufacturer would take the time to optimise the hardware around the SoC.
Keep the screen resolution at 1080p (or maybe something a little wider like 16:10 ratio). Keep the size under 5". Make it a mm or two thicker. Make the battery a little bigger.
Or, stick this SoC into a 4", 720p setup and watch it scream!
And, add a friggin' hardware keyboard! I want to be able to use my pocket computer like a computer again! And not just as a video watching machine.
Then tweak the software and drivers to match.
IOW, do to a 1080p phone what Motorola did to the X. There's no reason to push resolution beyond 1080p or screen sizes beyond 5", thus taxing these SoCs near their limits. Reply

crazysurfanz - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkwhat I want to know is how you know which SOC a phone is going to come with... checking something like gsmarena.com or indeed reviews here on AT I guess.... but what's to stop a company from advertising a device with a Snapdragon 801 at 2.3ghz CPU freq and shipping it with either of the variants which could result in you getting a lower GPU freq than expected? (i.e. review models come out with the higher freq. gpu and then 3 months after release they quietly ship to the slower/cheaper variant without telling anyone). Reply

This will enable the delivery of a single standard of content, presumably 4k, to all devices. This is all mapped out years in advance. It is coming. Reply

Notebook: Volleyball begins SEC play with pair of wins
Published: Tuesday, October 1, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 30, 2013 at 10:25 p.m.
The third-ranked Florida volleyball team's 2013 SEC season got off to a solid start with a pair of 3-0 road sweeps of Mississippi State and Ole Miss, respectively, over the weekend.
"Anytime you start your SEC season 2-0 on the road with two sweeps, you've got to be pleased, and we were with what we saw," said associate head coach Dave Boos, who addressed the media Monday while head coach Mary Wise was recruiting.
Boos pointed to performances by sophomore outside hitter Gabby Mallette and junior defensive specialist and former Ocala Vanguard star Holly Pole as keys in the weekend wins.
"We've kind of expanded Gabby's role this year, and she's really taken to it and is really blossoming right now," Boos said. "On Friday night, she pretty much bailed us out the first two sets with her attacking, so you have to give a lot of credit to her and her development.
"Sunday, Holly Pole probably had her best match as a server and passer. Her serving game — she went on runs all match long, and you could see she was really feeling it. I mean, she passed almost flawlessly the entire match."
The Gators (13-1, 2-0), who have won eight straight (seven by sweep), host Texas A&M (9-3, 1-0) Friday night at 7 in the O'Connell Center.
It will be a rare split-weekend for UF in league play, as the Gators will hit the road for a road match at Alabama Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
The seventh-ranked Gators will look to start a new winning streak when they host No. 22 South Carolina at Pressly Stadium at 7 p.m. Friday.
UF split a pair of SEC matches on its first league road trip, beating No. 24 Ole Miss, 4-1, on Friday before dropping a 1-0 decision at Missouri on Sunday, ending the Gators' seven-game unbeaten streak.
Florida (8-2-1, 2-1) scored three goals in the first 15 minutes and coasted from there in the win over the Rebels, but could not find the back of the net on 21 shot attempts in the tough loss to the Tigers.
Missouri scored the game's only goal just eight minutes into the match.
"It was a long travel weekend, but it was a good experience for us," coach Becky Burleigh said.
"It was good to see us get off to a fast start (Friday), probably our best start of the season.
"Then came Sunday, and we got off to a very slow start. It's really frustrating because when you take 21 shots and don't get a goal — that's tough to stomach."
"Obviously the lesson we take from that is the slow start really doomed us."
After taking on the Gamecocks (9-1-1, 2-1) on Friday, UF closes out the weekend with a home match against Auburn (4-6-1, 0-3) Sunday at 2 p.m.
Swimming & Diving
Coach Gregg Troy was pleased overall with the Gators' season-opening performance in easily winning both the men's and women's titles while setting 21 NCAA provisional marks at the 4th Pinch A Penny All Florida Invitational over the weekend.
The three-day meet involving UF and six other state teams followed the same format as the NCAA Championships.
"From our perspective, having the chance to compete over the weekend in a championship format gives us a wealth of experience for what we're going to see later on," Troy said. "It's very seldom you get to swim in a championship format. Even our conference meet is a slightly different format, so I think our freshmen and younger, inexperienced folks have a leg up on where we'd like to be at the end of the year."
Next up is dual-meet action for both squads, with the UF men at Minnesota on Oct. 12 and the UF women at SEC foe Missouri on Oct. 17.

I may have the best job in the world, because I get to go on a treasure hunt, and I've already started. What I've found so far has been priceless.
As part of an ongoing series, we will be presenting Grant County's Living Treasures.
Recently, I sat down with Anna Mary Gordon who turned 100 on March 19. I was humbled to be entrusted with her story.
She prospered by hard work, creativity and an entrepreneurial spirit in a time when it was difficult just to do the daily chores required to function and to get from one place to another.

Cooking with Lewis & Alyssa
Easy, creative & fun recipes for the gastronomically precocious!
de Lewis and Alyssa Arscott (with a little help from Mama)
Acerca del libro
Easy, creative & fun recipes for the gastronomically precocious! These are great, fun recipes our family uses quite a bit and would like to share with you!
We are learning about how priveledged we are and how we can help others less fortunate. When you purchase one of our cook books, we are donating 100% of the profit to charity. Consider this:
30 Million Americans are affected by hunger
One in five children go hungry part of every month
Hunger effects:
how people perform at work
how children perform in school
how people view their communities and their lives
More than enough food is wasted each year than is needed to feed all of our nation's hungry
Acerca del creador
The cookbook is our first book that my five and four-year-old have worked on together. We had loads of fun making it and testing the food. On a deeper level, we are also thinking outside of our kitchen and figured this was a good project that could help other kids that may need help getting a meal on their table. The Roots & Shoots Book is a wonderful compilation of four families' journey, discovery, and growing concern for our environment. This book is a collection of a year's worth of gatherings, activites, and outings we all contributed to in countless ways while living in Christchurch, New Zealand. Roasting Edith is a memory book created as a gift to Yeda's grandmother who celebrated with eighty friends and family members who were all very eager to give her a good Roast in celebration of her first eighty years of life.

Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water
Most writers live and die by coffee but I hate the stuff. I tried one cup when I was 19 and it was just so gross. I love water ... I drink tons of water every day. And of course, any writer will tell you about "urination inspiration" -- all your best ideas come when you are standing in front of the urinal.

Carolyn Mignini Leads MASTER CLASS at Brooklyn's Gallery Players, 3/16
The Gallery Players will present Master Class by Terrence McNally beginning March 16th. Carolyn Mignini* stars as legendary opera singer, Maria Callas. Ms. Mignini's Broadway and Off-Broadway appearances include Guys and Dolls, Fiddler On The Roof , Tintypes, The Fantasticks and Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All/The Actor's Nightmare. Tom Rowan directs this limited engagement production which runs through March 31st.
Master Class, winner of both the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding New Play and the Tony Award for Best Play in 1996, is a mesmerizing meditation on Maria Callas' life and nature of her art. Commanding, competitive, glamorous and drop-dead funny, Callas is alternately dismayed and impressed by the three students exposed to her withering scrutiny. What starts as a master class becomes a platform for Callas to relive her own recollections about the glories and failures of her life and career. In this rich and vividly theatrical piece we learn that Callas, although fierce and uncompromising in her art, was much less sure and successful in her private life.
Carolyn Mignini (Maria Callas) appeared in Bryony Lavery's Dirt at D.C.'s Studio Theater, Hereafter at Theater St. Marks and in Kindling, a film which she also co-produced. In 2011, she appeared in the premier of I Married Wyatt Earp at 59E59. She's a member of Ensemble Studio Theater and continues to develop new works with Prospect Theater Co. and NY Theater Barn. Broadway credits: Tintypes (Drama Desk Nom.), Fiddler On The Roof, A History Of The American Film, and One Night Stand. TV credits include The Good Wife, FX's Lights Out, The Practice, Chicago Hope, Murphy Brown, and Days Of Our Lives.
Mignini leads a cast that includes Jonas Cohen* as Manny, Stephanie Joiner* as Sophie, Brandon Snook* as Tony, Samantha Guevrekian as Sharon and Artem Kreimer as the Stagehand. Connor Davis produces this Actors Equity Association showcase production. *Member of Actors Equity
The design team includes scenic designer Kathryn Leiber, costume designer Tony Johnson, lighting designer Peter Gormeault, sound designer Jacob Subotnick and properties designer Sara Slagle. The production is stage managed by Katy Lynn Patterson.

North Carolina Literary Festival comes to Chapel Hill!October 1, 2009 • No Comments • category: Author Events
The annual North Carolina Literary Festival was held in Chapel Hill this year from September 10-13, hosted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Library. In total, 12,000 people attended. Our own Lee Smith and Jill McCorkle (along with Nashville musicians Matraca Berg and Marshall Chapman) were the keynote performance of the weekend, held at Memorial Hall. They performed the original works that inspired Good 'Ol Girls – a musical based on their short stories. The event sold out entirely!
The Literary Festival took over the campus for the weekend; for four days it was filled with events, author panels, and signings. There were 67 events over the weekend, given by 100 authors. It was a very impressive list of authors, including Elizabeth Strout, (winner of the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction), Daniel Wallace, Fred Chappell, John Grisham, Elizabeth Edwards, and more. For the first time this year, the festival hosted a children's area with interactive stations, a performance stage, and author appearances—including R.L. Stine of Goosebumps fame and SkippyJon Jones author Judy Schachner. The children's area had a total of 3,000 visitors!

Daphne Koller, one the founders of Coursera, makes no bones about the global ambition of her online higher education start-up. Thanks to huge interest in moocs (masssive open online courses) in countries like the US and UK, she says, there's "an incredible opportunity opening up for us" to get big fast.
So why wait years to go global when investors are queuing up to push the money into your hands right now? Read more

Oakland Needs to Take the Lead on Urban Forestry
Urban forestry is a growing field. This we know from its being prioritized as one of five climate action areas by the state of California under the groundbreaking environmental law AB32. Although not as sexy, perhaps, as renewable energy, or transportation-oriented development (TOD), the benefits of trees as part of a climate action plan areRead More

Iron Front Liberation 1944
I m very tempted but want to wait and see if it would be more polished than I44 or not. Also I m not clear if this is infantry only or not and if it can be as ridiculous or as serious as you want it to be (ie the freedom of ArmA2 games). Then again ArmA3 is coming soon(ish) and my time available for gaming has diminished seriously...
Anyway the most important reason to buy would be for MP!
So is anyone thinking about getting it? Could it replace our I44 sessions?
It is pretty much ArmA2 with Eastern Front forces, from what I've seen and heard... Infantry, vehicles, tanks, planes etc. It'll have all of the freedom as ArmA2 does, I believe.
Definitely thinking about getting it myself, so long as there are no absolute disasters with it. It might not replace I44, and rather work in parallel to it. I44 is Western Front, this is Eastern Front. It does seem to be avoiding the one major problem with I44 (small maps), as from what I've seen the maps are up to ArmA2/OA size.

Seeing as I can not create new threads I thought I would resurrect an old one, I apologise.
A couple of weeks ago I sent a message to Jim asking him to look into the ludicrous situation surround this game. He has not replied to my message so I assume he has missed it or is not really interested in the story, I will post it here though in the hope of warning people not to invest in this game while this situation goes on.
This game launched with many bugs and after a delayed first patch we were all eager to receive the second. About a month ago though a post was put up on the official games forum by Panzer_Baron sayingSee, guys, the situation is like this:
The patch itself is ready ages ago, but we can't release it, because there is a kind of issues about royalties between BIS and Deep Silver. And unfortunately, we can't do anything for it.
I really hope that RPS picks up on this story as they are bound to get better info from them rather than a few guys who use the forums. And like I said at the beginning, please don't buy this game even in a steam sale it is DOA.
