Singer and campaigner Bob Geldof today unveiled plans for a re-enactment of the second world war mass sailing across the English channel to Dunkirk in support of his anti-poverty goals.
The plans were revealed as the chancellor, Gordon Brown, proclaimed the government's Africa agenda a "new alliance for global prosperity".
The nautical demonstration, which is timed to coincide with the G8 summit of world leaders at Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland from July 6 to 8, is an attempt to persuade the leading industrialised nations to eradicate spiralling debt and unfair trade in Africa.
In another showpiece of the campaign, a competition to win 150,000 tickets to the Live 8 concert in Hyde Park, London, was announced today.
"We have gone on this long journey together over 20 years," Mr Geldof told GMTV. "It is finally going to pitch up against the doors of the leaders of the world's richest countries at the beginning of July."
He said the aim of the mass sailing was to recreate the Dunkirk evacuation "where normal people got in their boats to rescue our soldiers, 380,000 of them, who were surrounded and came back to fight another day".
A spokeswoman for the former Boomtown Rat singer and Live Aid organiser said British yachtswoman Ellen MacArthur was hoping to sail to Scotland as part of the campaign.
"We are asking people to come across the channel and to set sail in such a way that it's showing some support. It may be they only get as far as Portsmouth," the spokeswoman said.
"Bob's always said this is about a global movement to get people to show their support, whether or not people go the full distance ... Even if they don't get to Edinburgh, it's a symbol of movement towards Edinburgh."
Both the government and campaigners are embarking on a frenzy of activity in the weeks before the Gleneagles summit. The prime minister, Tony Blair, flies to Washington today to try to clinch a deal with a wary George Bush that will allow him and the chancellor to declare they are winning the arguments for their Africa agenda.
Mr Blair and Mr Brown want to secure agreement on the so-called Marshall plan for Africa - a reference to the US aid plan for Europe after the second world war - that, among other measures, calls for a doubling of international aid to Africa.
In his speech today, Mr Brown described the Africa agenda as a "new alliance for global prosperity".
"At a time when there is an urgency about the need to act, what we are proposing is nothing less than a new deal between rich countries and poor countries," he said.
"If we could, with all the power at our command, working together, collectively change the common sense of the age so that people saw that poverty was preventable, should be prevented and then had to be prevented ... then all else we do in our lives would pale into insignificance and every effort would be worth it."
Despite US reservations about elements of the British plan, Downing Street indicated that Mr Blair was optimistic about the prospects for his talks with Mr Bush.
"We believe there is a strong sense in the G8 for action on Africa," a No 10 spokeswoman told the Press Association.
"We believe we are making progress and we are confident of fulfilling our ambitions, but we still have some way to go and would not have expected to have achieved our agenda at this stage of the negotiations."
With EU finance ministers due to discuss the plan in Brussels and the finance ministers of the G7 (the G8 minus Russia) gathering in London on Friday, Mr Brown has said that it will be a "crucial week" for the British proposals.

DISCLAIMER: I typed it as is. There are, I feel, a lot of mistakes, but to protect the integrity of the original, I made no corrections. While there may be mistakes (I am sure there are), what may appear to be a mistake is the way it appeared. I did not type or reference the ads. There were many, but the names are all in the text.

After many weeks of constant and wary labor, in sunshine an in stormy weather, this volume is presented for your criticism, inspection, and approval.Coming among you as perfect strangers, we introduce ourselves to you through this medium, and hope the impression made will be favorable, and the acquaintance mutually agreeable and profitable.To publish a directory of our city successfully, requires an amount of perseverance and stick-to-ativeness that we flatter ourselves our corps possess.We were told, previous to our commencement, that a directory would not pay, owing to the unconsolidated condition of the city, reaching as it does for miles on either hand; that one was wanted by the citizens, but the experience of other publishers was unfavorable to a successful issue of such a work.
As we have a mania for doing things which have never been done, and to attempt things which others have tried unsuccessfully to do, we made no exception to our rule and have successfully demonstrated that a Directory of Scranton can be published. We feel proud to say so: to know that our corps has done it.
In the work will be found contractions and abbreviations that were necessary to make, in order that the most information possible could be crowded into the smallest space, and that too in a manner perfectly intelligible to the public.To illustrate this, S. F. stands for Scranton Flats; S. H. for Shanty Hill, B. for Bellevue., etc, etc.
To make a Directory, which will include everybody, is just as easy to make one that will please everybody; probably the second would be as successful as the first.
A Directory is one of those beneficent institutions which everybody abuses and most people seem to regard as a spontaneous production, which naturally comes around with the season, like green peas and strawberries, People do not drop into baker shops and say Please give me a loaf of bread, nor into the grocers and ask for a pound of butter, and walk out without offering to pay, as they do when they rush into anybodys office or store, and say, Ill look at your Directory.
Our pages are illustrated with the cards of the wide awake business men of your city, who invite you to trade with theman evidence of their enterprise which should be recognized and respected.Our thanks are due to the Editors of the Republican, Democrat,Journal, and Wochenblatt, for valuable notices of encouragement and endorsement; to the officers of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western R. R. Co.; Lackawanna Coal & Iron Co.; Delaware, Hudson & Canal c.; and Dickson Manufacturing Co., for repeated and continued favors, without which it would have been impossible to make as correct a Directory as we have, and to the citizens generally for the attention and politeness shown the corps.
Having toiled earnestly and faithfully, conscious of having done our duty, hoping that the Directory will be received favorable, and its usefulness felt generally, we confidently launch this volume on the sea of public favor.A new Directory will be published in 1872.

Opinion on Orion?
Hey all! I just found this site today and was wondering about opinions on a name. I don't have a baby on the way or anything but I'm dreaming about having a baby boy to go with my two girls. I heard the name Orion a year or two ago & fell in love with it. I knew if I ever had a boy that would be his name. And it must have been meant to be because my Hubby loves it too. After having two kids with long name struggles between us I thought it was a miracle he agreed on my first choice.
It fits very well with our outer space loving family. But I have a few different middle name choices that I really like and just wondered what other people thought. I haven't told anybody close to me partly because I'm not even pregnant & partly because I don't want it used by someone I know. So here they are:
Orion Alexander
Orion Atlas
Orion Atticus
Orion Ara
I feel like the A names fit the best with the first name and then our last name which begins with a B. My daughter's names are Audriana & Lilian(goes by Lily).
I'll keep my favorites to myself so I can see what everyone else thinks. Oh, and any other suggestions to go with Orion are definitely welcome.

I love Orion! It has such a novel, time-transcendent feeling to me while still retaining a bit of the Ancient Greek charm. It has some religious significance to me, as well, so I love that. I know a kid in high school whose name is Orion--he overcame a lot and he's just a great role model and always wants to do what's right, so I think he makes me love the name even more. For some reason, I always thought his name was Orion Alexander, haha. That's my favorite, but I also like Orion Atticus.
What about Orion Alistair? I really like that, too.
My only concern is that whenever I mention the constellation "Orion" people always think I'm saying the name Ryan... would that bother you? I'm so tired of hearing Ryan but I love Orion, so that would bother me quite a bit... It may be something to think about.
Good luck!Ashley | namenerd | Christian | storyteller

THUNDER BAY -- The lone defence witness in a drug trafficking case testified that some of the drugs and cash made in a 2009 seizure belonged to her and not the defendant.
Marcel Breton, 48, is on trial at the Thunder Bay Courthouse for charges including possession of cocaine, marijuana and ecstasy for the purpose of trafficking, possession of property obtained by crime, possession of a prohibited weapon and laundering proceeds of crime.
After a weeklong adjournment, the case resumed Monday with two more Crown witnesses before Crown attorney Vern Brewer rested his case.
Breton, who is representing himself, called Katlin Dorval to the stand. She testified that she's had an on-and-off romantic relationship with the accused for about 10 years.
Dorval identified a suitcase, two bags of marijuana, some cocaine and a couple of bundles of cash as belonging to her.
She said she regularly used cocaine at the time of the seizure in December 2009 and doesn't remember exactly where she left the items, but that she had several stash spots and got the cash by selling her artwork.
Dorval said she sold the paintings "under the table" because she wanted to avoid paying taxes. She said she believed the amount of money she stashed in the garage on the Mapleward property to be between $2,000 and $5,000 and said it was petty cash.
She testified she didn't come forward to the police when Breton was arrested because she didn't want to be involved and she didn't realize her belongings were part of the case.
Dorval said she would hide her money around the property when she resided there and didn't want Breton to know how much money she had or that she was using drugs.
She also testified that the garage on the property was generally unlocked and people would often come and go.
"He's a good person. He's helped a lot of people," Dorval said of Breton.
Breton chose not to testify in his defence.
Closing submissions are set for Tuesday morning. Brewer said his submissions would take about an hour.
"I'll be about five minutes," Breton said with a laugh.
Breton was arrested in December 2009 after a search of his Mapleward Road home and property resulted in the seizure of 120 grams of cocaine, 50 ecstasy tablets, 454 grams of marijuana and two grams of cannabis resin as well as $1.2 million in cash found buried in the ground.
None of the charges against the accused have been proven in court.

ELECTRICITY company Northern Powergrid has released pictures of examples of damage that metal thieves can cause to the electricity network.
The firm released the pictures to highlight the problems caused and to raise awareness of the danger that can be posed when live cables are left dangling close to roads and footpaths.
A total of 45 thefts have happened have occurred in Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire already since the start of 2014.
Mick Hickling, from Northern Powergrid, said: "The consequences of an adult or child innocently coming into contact with these damaged cables before our staff are alerted do not bear thinking about."
The company asks people, especially in rural areas, to report any suspicious activity near electric cables to them on 0800 375 675, or directly to police.

POMONA, Calif. - Ron Capps is not thinking past noon Sunday. He's doing everything he can to focus on the first round of championship eliminations of the Auto Club NHRA Nationals at Pomona, Calif.
But it's hard not to sway from examining all the scenarios that could enable him to win his first NHRA world championship.
"I'm not looking past the first round," Capps aid. "You have to only think about the first round."
One aspect of achieving his dream that he doesn't have to worry about is how his NAPA AUTO PARTS Dodge Charger R/T Funny Car should perform when racing begins 11 a.m. Sunday at Auto Club Raceway. Before the last of his four qualifying sessions that was a concern.
That performance enabled Capps to move within two points of points leader and Don Schumacher Racing teammate Jack Beckman.
"The plan was to be ahead of Jack (in points) going into Sunday, and we failed at that," Capps said. "It's two points and quite possibly if we go out in the same round I would lose the championship by two points.
"Like Tobler just told me, if we go out and win (the event title) they can't take it. The plan is to win the race, but it's going to be tough. It's like we have to race Murder's Row if we get past first round."
Capps faces two-time NHRA Funny Car champion Tony Pedregon in the first round, and Capps will have his choice of lanes.
"I think I aged almost 10 years the last couple hours by almost not being in the show with one run to go," Capps said.
Moments before his final run, the NAPA team knew it was locked into the top-16 and were certain to race on Sunday.
"When he knew we were in, Tobler came over and made some adjustments to the (computer) box in front of me," Capps said of what happened while he was strapped into the cockpit.
"He's looked a little stressed out this weekend. I looked at him and said, 'Hey, are we having fun?' He stopped for a second and smiled. That was a nice moment.
"We've had everything thrown at us, and I guess that's how the season's going to end."
If Beckman and Capps lose in the same round, the championship will go to Beckman. Capps can only win his first championship by advancing one round farther than Beckman.
And if Beckman and Capps win their first three races Sunday, the championship would come down to the final run of the year.
Mike Neff of John Force Racing is a longshot to win the championship. If Beckman and Capps lose in the first round, Neff would need to win the event title and set an NHRA national elapsed time record in the process.

Festival International Is 'Home' For Lafayette Native Lil Nathan (Audio & Video)
Festival International is an incredible, award-winning event that brings many cultures from around the world here to Lafayette. So you can imagine how thrilling it must be for an artist to get the honor of playing for the world-renowned festival.
That's especially so for Lafayette native Lil Nathan of "Lil Nathan & The Zydeco Big Timers." He's been in the music business basically all of his life. Lil Nathan began playing rubboard in his father's band at the age of 5 (His dad is the leader of Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas).
I was always the kid. I wanted to do what my dad did. So I thank God that he did something positive in life and showed me a very good trade, which is being a musician…That's where the passion started, just watching my dad on stage, being on stage at the age of 4-years-old at Festival International, Crawfish Festival, Jazz Fest with my dad made me want to have my own band. So, now I'm at that point where I have my own sound, my own band…It's great to know where we came from as far as being a Williams in the industry of zydeco.
He released his first CD at the age of 14, and has gone on to release many more since. And while he's toured all over the country, from California to Florida, even crossing the border into Montreal, coming back to Lafayette means a lot to him, especially at Festival International.
It's home for me…It's a pleasure being in the front of the home crowd. It's always a blast. Everybody's always enjoying it. You get UL-Lafayette involved with the festival scene also. And being amongst so many different ethnic groups, so many different bands from different parts of the world, to come together for this one event is very exciting for me.
Lil Nathan has performed in numerous venues, from clubs to trail rides to benefits, such as nursing homes and daycares. He says his music "has really brought me joy because…it's touched a wide range of ages….It's a pleasure to see people of all ages enjoying my music at one time. It's brings me great joy to know that what I love to do is bringing love to others…with my music, the gift that God gave me."
"Lil Nathan & The Zydeco Big Timers" will be performing at Festival International on Sunday from 5:15 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. There will be CDs available at the festival for you to buy. You can reach Lil Nathan at www.nathanwilliamsjr.com or on facebook or by calling 337-344-3910 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Concert Magic
Oct 1948 (film, USA); 1950 (film, Europe); Sep 2005 (DVD)
Paul Gordon
Yehudi Menuhin (Violin); Jakob Gimpel; Eula Beal (Contralto); Adolph Bailer; Antal Doráti (Conductor); Marguerite Campbell (Piano)
This DVD contains two sections. The first is a black-and-white feature, 'Concert Magic,' consisting of a 75-minute recital/concert with Menuhin and assisting artists. It was made in the Chaplin Studio in Hollywood in 1947 and is reputed to be the first full-length classical music concert film ever made. In it Menuhin, mostly accompanied by his long-time pianist Adolph Baller, plays various works, mostly short, mostly of encore size, many of them selected from programs Menuhin had played in hundreds of concerts for Allied soldiers during the Second World War. They include such things as the first movement of Beethoven's First Violin Sonata, the unaccompanied 'Prelude' from Bach's Third Partita, Wieniawski's 'Scherzo-Tarantelle,' Paganini's 'Moto Perpetuo,' Locatelli's Caprice subtitled 'Il labarinto armonico,' Bach's 'Air on the G String' (accompanied by Antal Dorati leading an orchestra of Hollywood studio musicians), Paganini's First Caprice (yes, THAT Caprice, and in the now out-of-fashion arrangement for violin and piano made by Fritz Kreisler) and a violin/piano arrangement of Schubert's 'Ave Maria.' He is also heard playing the violin obbligato in 'Erbarme dich' from the St. Matthew Passion (with contralto Eula Beal singing it in English as 'Lord, Have Mercy on Me'). Beal is heard in the Bach/Gounod 'Ave Maria,' and in a smashing performance of Schubert's 'Erlkönig' accompanied by pianist Marguerite Campbell. Polish-American pianist Jakob Gimpel is heard in selections by Liszt, Chopin and Mozart. Audio only (a selection played in movie theaters as patrons took their seats for the 'Concert Magic' movie): Novacek: 'Perpetuum Mobile' with Dorati leading a Hollywood orchestra.

Pelfrey In Trouble?
It's a little early to speculate but it's possible that Mike Pelfrey's spot in the rotation could be lost to Jorge Sosa once Orlando Hernandez comes back from the disabled list. After a positive outing against Florida last week Pelfrey turned in another poor performance yesterday against Arizona. The Diamondbacks only managed 3 hits against Pelfrey but drew 4 walks in 5 1/3 innings. Pelfrey also hit two batters to force in a run.
In the meantime Sosa made his first appearance for the Mets on Saturday and allowed 2 runs on 6 1/3 innings. Sosa will get at least one more start before El Duque returns. It is still unknown when exactly Hernandez will be ready to come off the DL.
Since Sosa has only had one start so far it's hard to tell if Pelfrey will lose his spot in the rotation in favor of Sosa. But after yesterday's start the Mets have to be considering pulling Pelfrey from the rotation until he has shown, either as a reliever or AAA starter, that he has regained his control.

By John Holler
Several years ago a bike trail was begun with the purpose of allowing riders to follow the Mississippi River as its makes its way south from Lake Itasca to the Gulf of Mexico. At the Aug. 14 meeting of the Wright County Board, the commissioners voted to authorize the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and the county highway and parks departments to complete the Wright County portion of the nationwide trail.
Parks Administrator Marc Mattice said the Mississippi River Trail program has been years in the making and the item was first brought before the board in 2010 when it provided a letter of support to have the trail connected through Wright County. Mattice said the project has finally made its way up to Minnesota and Wright County will be involved.
"The 3,000-mile trail system will run from the headwaters of the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico," Mattice said. "The route utilizes bicycle-friendly roads and multi-use pathways. The trail started in the early 1990s between New Orleans and St. Louis. MnDOT is focusing its efforts on the Minnesota route and will rely heavily on road shoulders, low-volume paved roads and separate pathways. Approximately 60 percent of the route in Minnesota will be established on local, township and county roads, 25 percent on state roads and the remaining on state, regional and local trails."
The Mississippi River Trail will generally parallel the Great River Road and MnDOT will provide the signage and marketing of the trail. The trail in Wright County will run along CSAH 75 from the north county line in Clearwater to Monticello, along CSAH 39 from Monticello to Otsego and along CSAH 42 from Otsego to the county line at Dayton.
"It's a program that has been a long time in the making and it continues to work its way north," Mattice said. "We're happy to be a part of this program and hope that it will get a lot of use by riders who want to travel the full length of the trail."
In a related motion, the board authorized Mattice and Highway Engineer Virgil Hawkins to represent the county's interests regarding the trail development and designation in Wright County.
In other items on the Aug. 14 agenda, the board:
SET a bid opening for a two-mile cleanup segment of Joint County Ditch 15 in Stockholm Township, which is shared by Wright, Meeker and McLeod counties. Four vendors have already expressed an interest and sealed bids are to be received until 4:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 27. Bids will be opened at the Aug. 28 county board meeting.
APPROVED hiring William Waytas of Nagell Appraisal and Consulting to represent the county in an ongoing dispute with a landowner, who is disputing the appraisal rates of the county for the last four years. The property, located along the fork of the Crow River is a massive private home that in 2008 was valued at $4 million — a valuation price that dropped to $2.2 million as the housing market has collapsed. The landowner is contending that the property is worth $1.9 million and is seeking a valuation of that figure for each of the last four years. Barring a settlement, the case is scheduled to go to trial Nov. 13.
ACCEPTED the minutes of the technology committee of the whole. The committee discussed the potential of streaming county board meetings on the county's internet website. Two firms that do such work made proposals to the committee, offering both a live streaming and on-demand option. The board took no immediate action on the item, rather laying it over until the budget process is completed and cost figures are analyzed.
LAID over for one week bids received on the Montrose Safe Routes to School trail project. The county served as a sponsoring agent for the program because Montrose has a population of less than 5,000 and requires a county sponsorship to access federal grant dollars. The estimated cost for the project was $155,000, but the two bids received were $35,000 and $40,000 higher than the estimate. The item was laid over so city officials can discuss the bids and decide whether to accept the lowest bid or reject them both.
AUTHORIZED the county's employee wellness committee to sponsor after-hours yoga and zumba classes for employees in the old county jail gymnasium. The yoga classes will be held Thursdays from 4:30 to 5 p.m. with a first session from Sept. 13 to Oct. 18 and a second session from Nov. 1 to Dec. 13. The zumba classes will run Tuesdays from 4:30 to 5 p.m. with a first session running from Sept. 18 to Oct. 23 and a second session from Nov. 6 to Dec. 18.

Baby Shower Cake
This cake was made for a friend of the family. The cake was inspired by a beautiful one made by cmerola here on CC. Bow is gum paste, baby bottle is solid white chocolate, and all the rest is MM fondant (except for the brown fondant which is Duff brand). Very sadly this cake died in transit, and the bottom layer fell due to heat (I'm guessing).

Amy has been my favorite name since third grade. Being a teenager, I have never known anyone my age named Amy. Some others I still like are Skye, Auburn (g), Ross and Evelyn.
I've had horrible name notions- one time I thought Ambition Defiance was an awesome combo, for a girl. Thank goodness I was eleven at the time and soon got some sense into me (I also thought Amber Twilight was great, but I think you get the drift).
Also, when I was younger, I didn't have a concept of correct gender. Ryan, Riley and Jesse were some of the more respectable ones on girls.~lucy reine~~ celestine eira ~ mary simona ~ elizabeth echo "ellie" ~ eleanor maeve "lena" ~ vivienne isla ~ celia matilda "cici" ~ catherine aiko "rin" ~ elsa verity ~~ jasper red ~ evander lachlan 'evan'~ kai nicholas ~ ezra link ~ avery thomas ~ michael satoshi "mischa" ~ finn jeremias ~ ezekiel hayden ~ alexander rowan "sacha" ~

After travelling to Chandigarh and Jaipur, 'Mumkin Hai', a special segment of the third season of superstar Aamir Khan's show 'Satyamev Jayate', is coming to Delhi.

Ultimate Software (Nasdaq:ULTI), a leading cloud provider of people management solutions, announced today that Republic Airways Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: RJET), an airline holding company that owns Chautauqua Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Republic Airlines, and Shuttle America, is using UltiPro's capabilities for business intelligence to generate analytics for strategic decision-making and forecasting, automate critical communications and reports necessary for compliance and audits, and make significant improvements to its overall HCM operations. An Ultimate customer since 2005, Republic Airways has grown to 10,000 employees. With its large employee population, Republic's HR teams and executives needed visibility into their workforce from a companywide perspective as well as access to employee metrics for fast and accurate insights on specific elements of the business. According to Jon Clahan, manager of HR shared services at Republic Airways, the company is using UltiPro to analyze turnover and employee demographics, and as a result, has made improvements to talent acquisition, re-evaluated its processes for performance management, and implemented succession plans to avoid talent shortages. "The airline industry is highly regulated, and one of these regulations requires that pilots stop flying after age 65. With UltiPro, we have been able to identify employees who will be retiring and when they will retire. This allows Republic to ramp up hiring when appropriate so we can better fill vacancies that could have a negative impact on the business," said Clahan. "Our executives have dashboards in UltiPro to more easily and accurately monitor these kinds of trends, and then we can make the best adjustments and decisions for our multiple businesses." Republic is using UltiPro to automatically deliver dozens of reports used every day by stakeholders across the organization. Clahan also has created a series of reports to handle most daily requests for information. For example, Republic's HR team and leaders may need historical workforce information because airline regulations often require manpower data that may be date-specific and relevant to all employees or that is only relevant to a specific group of employees. With UltiPro, Clahan is better positioned to immediately address a full range of reporting needs. "Information really can be put into almost any system, but what sets UltiPro apart from other HCM platforms is the solution's ability to enable people to easily extract information and then deliver it to our teams or decision makers in the most meaningful, relevant way," said Clahan.

Chris Brown may snub MJ tribute after all
The person, who was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity, says the R&B singer never committed to perform at the concert in Vienna. Jackson's brother Jermaine said earlier this week that he was confident Brown would appear.
Promoter Georg Kindel said during a press conference in London that a Los Angeles judge handling Brown's criminal case was scheduled to rule Wednesday on whether Brown could attend. No motion had been filed with the judge, who must approve Brown's international travel.
Brown is serving five years' probation for beating his former girlfriend, Rihanna.

Councillors heard a presentation by the service's new chairman Chris Devine on Tuesday. Cllr Devine took over as chairman of the Wiltshire and Swindon Fire Authority after the resignation of Trowbridge councillor Graham Payne, who claimed he had lost the support of the board.
The money-saving merger is one of three options outlined in a consultation, launched on July 21 to give people a say on the future of the fire service in Wiltshire.
The other two involve the services remaining separate and working more closely with Wiltshire Council, Swindon Borough Council and other 999 services.
Cllr Devine said: "We face difficult financial times ahead that result from cuts to our central Government grant.
"We have cut back on everything apart from the operational services and we have reached the point where there is nothing else left to cut. Yet over the next two years the Government have said we can expect future cuts.
"We started with seven options and got that down to three, and are asking the people of Wiltshire what they think."
Following the presentation, Cllrs Jeff Osborn and Terry Chivers put forward a motion asking the council to declare its support for the merger. However, the council decided to defer discussing this until its next full meeting on October 21: the consultation period ends on October 20.

#10: Lair (PS3)
While Dragon Breed (1989) was the first game where players could control a character riding a dragon, a couple years before, in 1987, Dragon Spirit let players control a fire-breathing dragon in a two dimensional vertical shoot 'em up environment. Since the release of Dragon Spirit, many players dreamed with the day they would be able to fire-breath their way through hordes of enemies with total freedom of movement and realistic graphics. The original Panzer Dragoon (1995), while a technical marvel for the time, was far from being a free-roaming game. Some years later, in 2003, Drag-on Dragoon (Playstation 2) managed to offer players more freedom of movement and new possibilities for massive destruction. Its Japan-only sequel, Drakengard 2 (2005), also exclusive to the Playstation 2, expanded the concept and delivered a more refined product. But it was not until the release of Lair that players could fully experience the joy of guiding a dragon through realistic landscapes. Or so it seemed. Lair's biggest downfall rests on its flawed controls. The game makes use of Sony's sixaxis motion sensitive controller, and at the time of its release, the limitations of the control input were fairly obvious. Lair was universally bashed by critics and the splendorous visuals were put to waste. Roughly six months later, Factor 5, the developers of Lair, released a patch for the controls through a package called "Dragons and Control Pack". This pack included DualShock 3 support, allowed players to play Lair on the PSP via Remote Play, and also added analog flight control. Now, Lair was finally playable, but by that time no one really cared about the game anymore. With the reworked controls, Lair is a great game to play. At the time of its release, the crisp and detailed high-resolution graphics were the selling point of the game. Nowadays, unfortunately, the visuals look a bit outdated and the trouble one has to go through to patch the game in order to make it enjoyable may not be worth it for some people. Lair will be sadly remembered as an example of outstanding potential that was fulfilled too late.
#9: SkyGunner (PS2)
SkyGunner looks a lot more like Velldeselba Senki (an obscure Playstation title, released only in Japan) than any of the Panzer Dragoon games, but the charming character design, steampunk atmosphere and intense battles are sure to win Panzer Dragoon fans over. In this game players assume control of a group of Gunners who are contracted to prevent the Eternal Engine, an engine that can run forever without an external power supply, from being stolen by the criminal genius Ventre. Though not an on-rails shooter, and with no dragons whatsoever to be seen (much less ridden), Panzer Dragoon fans will feel that some of the airship designs and pastel tones used in some locales are certainly familiar. The dialogues are fully voiced (not always to great results, though) and the soundtrack is strangely reminiscent of Sega's franchise, presenting a magnificent orchestrated musical score that helps setting the mood for the battles. The best thing about the game is that it oozes style. Every little detail was carefully crafted in order to invite players to explore the world in SkyGunner, pretty much like one would expect from a Panzer Dragoon game. Gameplay is simple, but effective, with a lock-on mechanism where players can shoot out bombs at the enemies. Adding some variety to the gameplay, there is a machine gun as the primary weapon and players are also given the possibility to target foes using homing missiles at certain points during battles. The only major problem the game has is that it slows down during boss fights, but it plays great otherwise. Minor technical problems aside, this is a great title that was shamefully overlooked when it was first released in 2002. One that should not be missed, especially by Panzer Dragoon fans.
After Burner and Space Harrier are Sega's best known on-rails shooter series. Both series are completely different from Panzer Dragoon in style and I would dare say that Panzer Dragoon offers a slightly more refined gameplay compared to previous releases from those two series. After the release of Panzer Dragoon, in 1995, Sega released only one more entry in the Space Harrier series (Planet Harriers, released in 2000 only for the Arcades) and produced a couple more games in the After Burner series, After Burner Climax (2006) and After Burner Black Falcon (2007). Black Falcon is Sega's last de facto on-rails shooter so far, and the company has not revisited the genre since the release of the game for the PSP, except for porting Climax to home consoles in 2010. Though completely different from Panzer Dragoon in style and setting, Black Falcon shares one essential similarity to Panzer Dragoon when it comes to gameplay: the player can lock-on to multiple enemies and fire at them all at once. The action is intense and the game throws a lot of enemies at you almost nonstop. As if that were not enough, there are multiple objectives in each stage, what ensures players are always on their toes and ready for anything the game can throw at them. While competent, the game is fairly mediocre visually, though. The backgrounds are generic and severely deprived of details, but that is excusable thanks to the fast, breakneck speed the game moves. The visuals feel refreshingly organic considering the setting of the game, presenting green fields, large forests, red sand deserts and snowy mountains, for example. The game has the distinctiveness of being the only on-rails shooter released for the PSP, which goes on to show how increasingly rare on-rails shooters have become.
#7: Omega Boost (PS)
If one happens to be a fan of Macross and also Panzer Dragoon, Omega Boost is probably the best-suited game for this person. While not exactly a fan of giant robots battling in outer space, it was impossible for me not to surrender to Omega Boost's qualities. The game is polished in every aspect and the gameplay successfully adopts some of the best elements from Panzer Dragoon. The lock-on mechanism and massive explosions are very similar to the ones found in Sega's franchise, and while the atmosphere is quite a bit different, Omega Boost is a polished game with nice subtle graphical details that take full advantage of the Playstation's graphical capabilities. The game was developed by Polyphony Digital, the same team behind the massively successful driving-simulation series Gran Turismo. Unfortunately, however, after Omega Boost the developers never revisited the genre again, and the game remains a lost jewel in Sony's crown. The game's soundtrack has been praised for being dynamic and inviting, and the sound effects are powerful and very effective, suiting the game really well. The lead designer of Omega Boost was Yuji Yasuhara, a former member of Team Andromeda who previously worked on Panzer Dragoon II Zwei.
#6: SoulStar (SCD)
People who do not like Panzer Dragoon mockingly call it a glorified tech demo. While I agree that Panzer Dragoon was created to show off the Saturn's 3D capabilities, the retail product is much, much more than a tech demo. It has a wonderful sense of immersion, great story, fantastic musical score and, of course, amazing graphics for its time. What I really like about the visuals is how masterfully the designers used colors and perfectly combined the elements in the scenery with the gameplay. One of the very few games that could ever come close to Panzer Dragoon in this aspect is SoulStar. The game was released in 1994, when the Sega CD was still struggling to find acceptance within the general public. The machine was eventually not accepted by the masses, contrary to what Sega expected, and maybe because of that SoulStar has been mostly forgotten. Given the limited hardware it was developed on, what Core Design achieved was nothing short of a miracle. At the time of the release of SoulStar, no one thought any other on-rails shooter on the Sega CD could surpass Silpheed (1993), a game that was severely hyped before its release and still today is fondly remembered by fans, but was ultimately ignored by consumers. While Silpheed used streaming full-motion video for the backgrounds, SoulStar creates a quasi-3D effect. Gameplay is fluid and the visuals are fantastic. The game starts in a generic outer space setting, but after the first stage the backgrounds become much more organic and resemble those in Panzer Dragoon, from a large ocean where enemies emerge from, to a sandy desert and large rocky landscapes. The audio fits the game really well and while the sound effects can get tiresome after a couple hours, the musical score is so great it actually serves as an incentive to extend playtime. SoulStar is an excellent game and the overall product a truly underappreciated work of art.
Child of Eden takes the concept behind Rez (see entry #2 on this list) and somewhat expands it even further. The game looks gorgeous, colorful and bordering psychotic sometimes. It was created as a spiritual successor to Rez, and the main difference between the titles lies on the control scheme. While Rez is fully playable with an analog controller, Child of Eden introduces a new way of controlling the game through motion sensors. The title was first released on June 14, 2011 for the Xbox 360 and roughly three months later it was ported to the Playstation 3. On the Xbox 360, the game is compatible with the Kinect peripheral, while on the Playstation 3 it takes full advantage of the Playstation Move motion-sensing controller. Child of Eden can also be played with a regular controller, but its main selling point was the fact the game is intended to be played with Kinect or Move, using the player's own limbs, rather than a traditional controller. The psychedelic visuals and masterful use of colors are very effective in fully immersing the player and invites him or her to actually move their bodies along with the game. The game takes on-rails shooters to a new level and could possibly dictate the beginning of a whole future generation of titles. More conservative players, however, will prefer to use buttons and analogs to play the game, and this should not be a problem. There is room here for everybody and Q Entertainment made it sure that all tastes are welcome to experience the game.
Planet Harriers is the latest installment, so far, in the acclaimed Space Harrier series. The game was released in 2000 only for Arcades. A console conversion was supposed to be released for the Dreamcast, but pretty much like the aforementioned Geist Force, it never saw the light of the day. Fortunately Planet Harriers managed to be released on the Arcades. Similar to After Burner: Black Falcon, Planet Harriers takes a hint from Panzer Dragoon and allows players to lock-on to multiple enemies. The graphics look quite a bit dated nowadays (after all, the game was released in 2000), but are on par with what one would expect from a Sega Dreamcast title. As with other rail-shooters produced by Sega, the action is lightning fast for the most part and the game requires almost nonstop shooting. The environments are very reminiscent of Panzer Dragoon, though a lot more goofy and exaggerated in style. The same is true for the characters. The main difference between Planet Harriers and Panzer Dragoon is that the former gives players lots and lots of power-ups. Players can even collect money and buy power-ups in between levels, whereas Panzer Dragoon relies on quick thinking and extensive memorization of the levels rather than raw shooting skills. Still, the atmosphere is unmistakably familiar to Panzer Dragoon fans and the overall Sega quality is everywhere to be seen. Too bad this game never received a port to any platform.
Star Successor is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Japan-only release Sin and Punishment (2000), for the Nintendo 64. On its own, Star Successor is an amazing game. The visuals are technically excellent and squeeze the most out of the Wii. Gameplay is very well structured and the Wii Remote feels like the perfect controller for an on-rails shooter. Treasure went as far as to include support to the Wii Zapper, the Classic Controller and even the GameCube controller. The myriad of possibilities is truly outstanding. Star Successor's biggest strength, however, lies in its artistic creation. Backgrounds never look plain or repetitive, though the use of color is sometimes disappointing, consisting mostly of shades of gray. Characters look great and the game's script allows the characters to express all their personality. Boss encounters are fantastic and memorable. Bosses are usually huge and intimidating, and often present quite a challenge. Gameplay is intense, but unlike the first game in the series, Star Successor rarely moves in an insanely fast speed. It does not mean that the game is any easier, though. On the contrary, Star Successor is best-suited for gluttons for punishment (no pun intended). This is one of the few games on this list which is a direct sequel to a previous release; very few rail shooters nowadays manage to become a series, what only serves as a testament to the quality of the games Treasure makes.
#2: Rez (DC)
Rez has been described as Panzer Dragoon on acid. And that is not far from the truth. Stylistically, both titles are completely different, but when it comes to gameplay, Rez mimics Panzer Dragoon almost perfectly. The game was developed by former members of Team Andromeda, who carefully replicated Panzer Dragoon's most intriguing elements in a totally different graphical style. Rez replaces typical sound effects with music samples, resulting in a streamlined experience unlike any other on-rails shooter before it. Also, there is an optional accessory that can be used with the game, the Trance Vibrator, that, as the name suggests, pulses in time with the music. The objective is to induce players to achieve a form of synesthesia, combining visuals, audio and tactile feedback. Rez makes use of abstract graphics and strong colors, creating unique visuals. The title was originally released simultaneously for the Sega Dreamcast and the Playstation 2 in late 2001. Only the Playstation 2 port was released in North America, while both the Dreamcast and Playstation 2 versions of the game were released in Japan and Europe. In early 2008 the game received a high definition upgrade and was ported to the Xbox 360, being released worldwide through the Xbox Live service.
Sin and Punishment is a faster and more furious game than its successor. The game pushes the Nintendo 64 to its theoretical limits and set a new level of what to expect from an on-rails shooter. While the genre is usually praised for nonstop action and seamless gameplay, Sin and Punishment exacerbates these aspects and creates a unique experience, combining stunning visuals and an intriguing, thought-provoking plot in one of the best examples the genre has to offer. Sin and Punishment oozes style. Characters, enemies and backgrounds are meticulously combined to offer the best visual experience possible on the platform. The game's locations are organic and feel very natural to Panzer Dragoon players. The introductory stage, for example, has players strolling through a vast yellow-colored field, shooting down flying enemies strangely reminiscent of Panzer Dragoon. Bosses are huge and battles are breathtaking. Gameplay is well-structured, and the variety of locales the game offers is a welcome addition. Unfortunately, Sin and Punishment was only released in retail stores in Japan for the Nintendo 64 in 2000. The game was re-released in 2004 for the iQue Player in China, and later it was made available globally through the WiiWare service, for the Wii's Virtual Console, in 2007. The text in the game, however, remains in Japanese.
It has been more than ten years since the last installment in the Panzer Dragoon series was released, and judging by recent developments, it does not look like there is a bright future ahead for fans of the franchise. While many games tried to compete with Panzer Dragoon, very few titles adequately succeeded at reproducing some of the aspects that make playing the Panzer Dragoon games truly memorable and engrossing experiences. Here I presented some of them, and I hope more people take note of these amazing shooters.

Some pasta with that?
2005/08/11 11:36:00
I got a funny story. Any one ever have a similiar experience?
My mother makes a mean chili. She makes it from scratch and uses her own blend of spices. It's pretty darn good.
My parents were both teachers and had four boys to bring up in the 70's when gas and oil prices were skyrocketing and beef was a premium, even ground chuck.
So my mom, would make her batch of chili and serve it over egg noodles (perfectly cooked, not too soggy).
We LOVED it! It was a kids favorite. Along with pizza night, where we all chipped in to make the pizza (another great story), chili night was a family event.
So, one time, when travelling to Cape Cod, or long island or something, my parents stopped on the road to eat at some restaurant that was famous for its chili. Mind you, this was a planned stop, so us boys were looking forward to this famous chili that many friends and travellers had raved to us.
So all four of us boys ordered a bowl and out it came...
We were very upset.
There were no noodles.
Just a bowl of chili.
Meat, beans, tomato, peppers, spices...all the things you'd expect to find in a good chili, but there were no damn noodles!
Where were the noodles?
Us boys, were disappointed to say the least. We had been so looking forward to this famous chili, and they didn't even give us any noodles. Humph!
Well, the four of us are all grown, married, etc., and we know that chili isn't served with noodles in the rest of the world, in fact, my mother no longer serves her chili over noodles.
But I have to say, occasionally, I will order chili with a side of noodles. (don't mock me when you see me do it)

Although it is over spaghetti rather than egg noodles, the "multi"-way chili, served around Cincinnati and in Steak 'n Shakes everywhere they are, might somewhat satisfy your cravings for pasta with your chili.

I guess I expect to find beans in my chili too. I dont know why, except when I think of chili I think chunkier and thick with meat and beans vs the thinner versions I usually see.
Noodles with chili seems okay too. Bowl of chili alone never did it for me, I always needed fritos or tortilla chips to go along with it. Noodles ain't such a big stretch.

Only thing I need with my chili is cornbread (unsweetened, thank you).
RE: Some pasta with that?
2005/08/11 14:45:01
Yes Mike, I'm not from Texas, so I expect some beans as a part of my chili.
According to the ICS "Red Chili" can not contain beans. However, in its People's Choice Chili catagory, it MUST contain either beans or (much to my surprise) pasta.
So, yes, beans seem to be a known ingredient. In upstate, NY (where I grew up) you'd be hard pressed to find a place where you ordered a bowl of chili and it didn't have beans in it. I'm not sure of the ingredients in the famed Dinosaur BBQ's chili. (famed for BBQ, not chili) But my recollection is that they do not put beans in their chili. They do however include BBQ sauce -probably its "wango tango" sauce. And, I think "Rudys" in Oswego, known for their "Texas Hots" (hotdog with chili) also do not put beans in its chili. But most family restaurants include beans in their chili.

My mom always served chili over elbow macaroni, which I always thought was gross. I preferred my chili solo and thick, with beans and big chunks of beef, onion, tomato and garlic.
I moved to Cincinnati in the early 80s -- the first time I ordered chili there (from the SunBright Chili Parlor in Lebanon, or SunBlight, as we used to call it), I was horrified when I was served this bowl of watery, fine meat. I think I lived there for at least 10 years before I began to enjoy Cincinnati chili in all its glory.

Carlos Tevez closes on Man City exit after new £40m Corinthians bid
Carlos Tevez could be one step closer to leaving Manchester City after Corinthians made a new £40million bid for the striker.
Argentine Tevez has made no secret of his desire to leave the newly-renamed Etihad Stadium this summer in order to be closer to his family in South America.
City have already rejected an offer in the region of £35 million for the forward and are said to want £50 million in order to let their talisman and captain leave.
Tevez played for Corinthians between 2005 and 2006 and is still regarded as a hero by the club's fans.
A move to Sao Paulo would also allow the former West Ham and Manchester United player to be nearer his young family.
Another club said to be interested in the Argentine is Juventus, but the Italian giants would have trouble convincing the player to ditch plans to return to his native continent in order to stay in Europe.
One potential stumbling block in any deal is the fact the Brazilian transfer window slams shut next week, meaning City will be forced into a quick decision over whether to sell.
The Citizens have been linked with a move for Atletico Madrid hitman Sergio Aguero should Tevez depart.

Family of Stephen Franklin Hibbs and
Ruanna Hadley Hibbs
The following was taken from
"From Sagebrush to Green Fields"
A History of Greenleaf, Idaho
by Dilla Tucker Winslow
Published 1984 by Artcraft Press, Nampa, Idaho
pgs. 129 and 130
Transcribed by Dennis McIndoo
The year 1906 appears to
have been a rich one in new families. It was in early October of this
year that the Stephen Hibbs family moved to Greenleaf. Their coming was
a great addition to the community both in quality and quantity. The
spirited life of the young people left little boredom around them.
Stephen and Ruanna each sewed his or her terms as officers and on
church committees. They started out in a home similar to that which
most families did.
Bernice Williams, whose mother was a cousin of Ruanna, gives a
picture of home life in this family:
Ruanna Hibbs and part of their 14
children were settled in a small house, probably 18 x
20 feet, and some tents and a
sagebrush barn. Now a sagebrush barn is built by putting two rows of
barb wire about 18 inches apart and filling in with sagebrush,
tumbleweed and greasewood.
When Mama went to call on Ruanna,
nothing would do but for her to spend the night there. Now this was in
June and the climate was dry and warm. There was one bed in one corner
of the room and Mama wondered where she would sleep. As the evening
wore on and these two cousins who had not seen each other since
childhood visited, the smaller Hibbs' began to get sleepy. One little
one came in from the dusty out of doors and said, "Maw, I'm sleepy."
"Well, get thy quilt and cuddle down here in the corner," and so on
until three or four little folks had cuddled down. And Mama and Ruanna
still talked on. Finally Father Stephen Hibbs and two older boys went
to the barn to sleep and some others slept in a tent. This was
homesteading in the West.
When the Hibbs came from Iowa,
the two older children, Ethel and Lawrence, remained there where he did
some preaching and he and his sons raised hybrid seed corn. Ethel Hibbs
Wood also remained in Iowa as she had married and was happy in her home
Generva taught in the new two-room schoolhouse and later married
Leetus Williams, who was a farmer in the early days.
Dwight chose Nancy Little for his life partner in the farming
Chloe taught school in various localities, among which was
Greenleaf public school, before she married Walter Perisho. He farmed
mostly in Idaho and Iowa around Oskaloosa, where he passed away. Chloe
came back to Greenleaf.
Blanche married Bennie Martin and they lived on a farm west of
In later years, Chloe and Blanche moved to Sunny Ridge Manor in
Gladys married Edgar Rhoads and they decided to also make their
home on Idaho farms as long as they lived.
Neal and Ethel Hibbs made farming their vocation and lived most of
their lives in the early Faw home. Leland, their son, married Iverna
Hirst. They became missionaries under the Northwest Yearly Meeting and
served many years in the South American field.
Zoe married Emmett Gulley who was perhaps the most widely and
world-known Greenleaf man.
Lilith married Willard Ragsdale and moved to Oregon and
Ralph married Carol Swanson and farmed here in Idaho a few years
before they decided to try Iowa farming. In later years he turned to
newspaper business.
Ruth selected a brother of her brother-in-law Willard as her life
partner and has spent her days mostly in Oregon and California with John
Raymond married Ida Seidenburg and trucked his way through life.
Among other worthy deeds he helped to haul the stone for the church
building (The Quaker Church in Greenleaf).
Eugene's wife was Gertrude Brown who was a good helpmate in his
pastoral work in Idaho and Oregon. After he retired from the ministry,
he worked on the police force in Newberg, Oregon.
On a beautiful summer day in
August, 1930, 14 children, their grandchildren and 5 great
grandchildren, with other relatives, gathered at the church to celebrate
the first golden wedding anniversary in Greenleaf. The forenoon program
consisted of the group gathering in the church building to help relate
the early lives and courtship of Stephen and Ruanna Hibbs. Several
poems were read and incidents of days and courting were related. The
main speaker for the program was Mrs. Hibbs' youngest brother, John
Hadley. A picnic wedding dinner was served in the yard commemorating
the occasion fifty years before when on September 4, 1880, Miss
Ruanna became Mrs. Stephen Hibbs.

Investigators say an armored vehicle guard pulled out his handgun and fired on a Southern California freeway, telling the van driver it was his way of relieving stress.
No one was hurt.
Glendora police Lt. Joe Ward tells the Pasadena Star-News ( http://bit.ly/qdPvZV ) that 25-year-old Richard Chairez was arrested on Monday for investigation of negligent discharge of a firearm. The Santa Ana man is in jail with bail set at $35,000.
The lieutenant says Chairez asked the van driver to pull over on Interstate 210 at 8:30 a.m. on Monday. The van was moving when Chairez opened the door and fired a round toward the embankment.
Ward says the guard told the driver he fired because he was stressed.
Police met the armored vehicle at an Arcadia mall and arrested Chairez.
