affects millions globally via dissolution into groundwater from arsenic-containing minerals and ores in the subsurface (Ferguson and Gavis 1972). The International Agency for Research on Cancer recognizes that long term exposure to arsenic in drinking water elevates cancer rates of the skin, lungs, urinary bladder, and kidneys, in addition to several skin diseases (International Agency for Silica-coated magnetite nanoparticle (16 nm core; 34 Research on Cancer 2004; 2004). As a result of the nm shell). growing body of knowledge on the effects of arsenic, the US EPA began enforcing a reduced maximum contaminant limit for arsenic of 10g/l in January of 2006. Large scale drinking water treatment plants can remove arsenic economically by relying on traditional FeCl3 or alum coagulation and flocculation, followed by sedimentation or filtration (Feenstra, Erkel et al. 2007). However, that technology is not easily scaled down. Thus in the last decade, much research has been conducted on iron and iron-oxide based sorbents, that would enable arsenic treatment at smaller scales (Mohan and Pittman 2007). Nanomagnetite is an iron-oxide sorbent which, displays high affinity for both As(III) and As(V) and, as the most magnetic natural mineral on earth, can be manipulated by a lowstrength magnetic field (Harrison, Dunin-Borkowski et al. 2002; Yavuz, Mayo et al. 2006). However, little has been done beyond batch studies to determine more ideal design and operating conditions of a nanomagnetite-based treatment method that could disseminate into wide use. This past year, with a focus on direct application, the Tomson group advanced batch isotherm, lab-scale column, and pilot-scale field research for nanomagnetite enhanced sand filtration to remove arsenic and other heavy metals from drinking water.

Dentistry as a Facelift
|Do you wish you could look younger, but are hesitant to invest your time and money in cosmetic surgery? Would you love to have a facelift, eye work, or even a neck lift, but you don't want to go under the knife? Using the latest cosmetic and restorative dentistry techniques, your dentist can help you achieve a younger, more refreshed look without plastic surgery. Learn about some of the many "dental facelift" options available to you.
These days, many people are trying to fight the signs of ageing with painful and costly plastic surgery procedures designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and promote a younger appearance. But what if you don't have the time or money required for surgical intervention, or you simply don't want to go under the knife? Luckily, there are a number of cosmetic and restorative dentistry solutions that can help you achieve the younger, refreshed look you desire.
With the progression of age, the structures in the mouth begin to break down and worn or missing teeth can contribute to a sunken appearance around the mouth, increased wrinkles known as "smile marks", and even the appearance of a receding jaw line. Restorative dentistry in the form of crowns, bridges, and sometimes dental implants can replace mouth structure and therefore help patients achieve a younger appearance.
Cosmetic dentistry treatments can also have a dramatic effect, helping patients to look years younger. The simple procedure of tooth whitening can help take years off a person's appearance, while porcelain veneers can help to correct the smile to promote a more rejuvenated, polished look.
In addition to the reduction of lines and wrinkles around the mouth, many dental facelift patients who have undergone structural and cosmetic enhancements report a younger appearance to their entire face, including the eyes, cheeks, and even the neck. While a dental facelift can become costly depending on the number of procedures needed to achieve the desired outcome, compared with the cost and risks associated with going under the knife it is often the ideal non-surgical alternative that offers stunning results.

I thought it would be good to write down a list of things you can do to improve your programming and job prospects when you have learned what you need to. To get the ball rolling:
a. learn the syntax of the language(and a Framework if there is one. E.g. .NET)
b. improve your coding by practising lots- the more you do the more you will reduce the number of errors you make. Having written lots of code you will remember what works and what does not
c. improve your problem solving-you will often have to work on this before writing your program
d. create a portfolio of programs which you can present to potential employers-perhaps upload them to a website
e. Put yourself in the shoes of the person using your program-what would you like to see, how would you like to use the program? This will help you (as a programmer) make the program easier to use.
f. Take some exams :-)
Suggestions, additions and comments are most welcome.

Immersiva closed
I was reminiscing about Immersiva and I was not sure if I posted this before, but the photo above was a project I did for Nuit Blanche a few years ago. Immersiva was played on hundreds of video screens across the entire subway system in Toronto over one night for an art event. It was quite surreal to see it up there with all the people bustling around. Anyway, hopefully everything will work out but thought I should let people know who have been trying to get to Immersiva for Standby.

This is really sad news and I wish to join all fellow Second Lifers, hoping that a quick and happy resolution will be found.
I am also troubled by your comment, Bryn, where you say: "When I do and know what my future holds and where, I will post it here." I really hope you are not considering leaving Second Life. It would be a huge loss for all of us.
If there is anything I can do to help please let me know.

Thanks everyone for the support. I am still fairly in the dark as to what might happen. Indigo I can't afford to pay for a sim in SL, yet I have my grant work to do so that means I may have to move over to Open Sim. I know it is supposed to be affordable but not sure if it is stable enough.

I really hope you won't have to leave SL, Bryn.
I really wish I could help. You'd be welcome to be our guest in the East River Community but I am afraid we would not have enough resources to offer on the scale you usually need for your work. But, should you ever need a temporary solution you'd be more than welcome to be our guest. I have a large piece of land, 3/4 of a sim, which could be used as a temporary solution.
I hope this matter is resolved soon. Either way, I am pretty sure you'll receive some offers and I am confident a solution can be found.

Thank you Indigo that is a very kind of you. I wouldn't impose, but it is rewarding to know there are those like you who would make such a generous offer. I still have my fingers crossed for SLanta Claus to come fix everything.

Dear sis, I can't either afford a sim and I hope the Linden will finally recognise the undeniable value of the OH family by creating an art reservation for our family where, you, me, Selavy, Boheme, Bibbe and Magicflute can work.

Bryn...I, too, was disheartened to hear of the demise of Immersiva. A solution exists because one must exist. Don't lose heart. Hopefully, you will look back and understand it to be the best thing that could ever have happened.

@Brynn "I still have my fingers crossed for SLanta Claus to come fix everything."
So? You are pan-handling. Step up and take responsibility for your own actions. Don't beg like a bitch. Thanks.

@Brynn (Re Opensim)"I know it is supposed to be affordable but not sure if it is stable enough."
And SecondLife is Stable?
FYI - unlike secondlife, in Opensim you can back up your work(an entire sim) to your local harddrive, unlike SL which bind it to their platform.
You can then unpack your sim state to any Opensim grid, whether it be private or repeated accross on of the many Opensim grids such as OSGrid.
You could even unpack it to one of the many hosted grids.
You don't have to sell out to the highest donator Brynn, bring your talents to Opensim and actually give to people who will appreciate your talented work.
Unless you just care about the highest dollar amount.

Not really sure why Bryn needs to respond to you Dave, looked you up and you call yourself Opensim Zealot a self proclaimed defender of OpenSim or spokesperson. It is kind of embarrassing to have to explain this but the Slanta Clause comment was a joke. You see Santa Clause, Kris Kringle, Saint Nickolas or Father Christmas are Folklore. Not actual people Bryn can "beg" to as you put it. But whatever. Have fun with your assumptions. Which one should not operate on. Btw.
- December 19, 2011 at 12:39 PM
LL's land policy is simply sick. It is a business model that keeps clients out and leads to the death of the best, because talented people get tired of paying in order to bring quality content to SL. Regarding OpenSim: look at other Open projects such as OpenSSL and OpenBSD; they are simply the best in the world in their own kind. They are licensed under BSD, one of the most permissive of the free software licenses. BSD computer folks are not only the most talented; they are the ones with a big heart.

I wonder why Dave Plummmmer can't spell Bryn's name correctly. Maybe he's not taken enough notice.
Forget him. Bryn, it would be a sad thing for Second Life to lose you. You are a jewel in the Virtual Art world, and housed in a costly setting that puts more value on itself than on the gems it displays.

UH Law School to hold informational session for part-time program expected to launch Fall 2008University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
HONOLULU - The William S. Richardson School of Law at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa is expected to offer a part-time program as early as next fall semester. The Law School has applied to the American Bar Association and the Association of American Law Schools for approval to begin a small evening law program with a target of 24 students in each entering class. The Law School expects to receive approval by accreditors in early spring.
An informational meeting for interested applicants will be held at 6 p.m. on December 18, 2007 in the Law School's Moot Court Room. Interested applicants must take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) by February 2, 2008, and must submit an application by March 1, 2008. Pending approval, the Law School plans to enroll its first class of 24 part-time students for the fall 2008. Those admitted to the part-time program must meet the same admissions standards as students admitted to the full-time program. Classes are scheduled to meet three evenings a week (Tuesday-Thursday) from 5:30-8:35 p.m.
In the normal course of study, a part-time student could expect to complete the first year of the regular JD curriculum in two years and to graduate in four years, though the timing would be quite flexible.
Dean Aviam Soifer explained that such a part-time program furthers the Law School's central mission of providing an excellent legal education and helping to meet the legal needs and interests of Hawaiʻi and the Pacific region. "This part-time program will broaden access to legal education, promote greater diversity in the bar, and expand educational opportunities for our state and beyond," Soifer stated. "Our current full-time only format is a significant barrier to access to legal education for nontraditional aspirants and for those who must work to support themselves and their families."
The school's admissions statistics reveal considerable demand for increased opportunities for legal education in Hawai'i and the region. Currently, approximately 90 students matriculate into the full-time program each year. But with approximately 1,100 applications, the Law School disappoints many applicants who are qualified and would perform well in law school.
The U.S. News & World Report recently ranked the William S. Richardson School of Law among the top 20 law schools for environmental law, diversity and low faculty/student ratio.

Social Security fix is really not so hard
Reform of Social Security is necessary to avoid the shortfall that will begin in 20 years or so, on that point most everyone should be able to agree.
If so, can we also agree that Social Security is not on the verge of bankruptcy and the Washington naysayers are just doing their best to alarm us so that they can change the program in ways that fit their purposes? If so, then let's agree that, in this supercharged political atmosphere, nothing will change unless it is broadly supported by a majority of Americans.
That said, a recent U.S. News and World Report survey is informative. Of five potential approaches to strengthening the Social Security program, two had widespread support. The first was to increase the payroll tax paid by the employee alone from 6.2 percent to 7.2 percent. According to USNWR, this would eliminate just over 50 percent of Social Security's deficit. The approach was supported by 69 percent of workers surveyed. The second was to gradually eliminate the $113,700 payroll tax cap, above which no tax currently is paid. According to USNWR, this would reduce the deficit by 71 percent. The approach was supported by 68 percent of those surveyed.
Three other approaches received little support (raising the retirement age to either 68 or 70 years of age, with only 37 percent and 28 percent support, respectively; means-testing to phase out Social Security for retirees with non-Social Security income between $55,000 and $110,000, just 31 percent support; and changing the method of making cost-of-living adjustments to the "chained" CPI-W approach, less than 30 percent support).
Given these results, one can easily construct a supportable compromise with changes so insignificant that they would be virtually undetectable to the taxpayer: First, increase the payroll tax on the employee-side only, to 7.2 percent over a 10-year period (an increase of just 0.1 percent per year). Second, raise the payroll tax cap from $113,700 to $250,000 over the same 10-year period.
As was noted in a response to my previous column on the subject of Social Security reform (December 2012), leaving the employer-side of the tax rate at its current 6.2 percent is seen as important to avoid burdening small businesses with a tax increase during a still-difficult economic recovery. Since the employee is the beneficiary of the Social Security retirement payments, it is justifiable to increase the employee rate in order to maintain a successful program while leaving the business rate unchanged. Moreover, as was also noted (and acknowledged at the time), means testing is fraught with peril. As just one example, persons who failed to save for their retirement would benefit at the expense of those who put away additional savings towards their retirement. So, since means testing is unpopular with those surveyed anyway, it's best to avoid the pitfalls and eliminate it from consideration.
This two-part approach would eliminate the lion's share (if not all) of the projected deficit in 10 years, some 10 years before the projected shortfall occurs, and would provide 10 years of growth potential to cover the future obligations due future retirees.
It is remarkable that the critics of Social Security continue to pursue the three least supported approaches (of those surveyed), rather than the two that have widespread support. Until advocates for achieving responsible reform start to advocate more aggressively for approaches that have majority support, the games will continue and little of real value will be accomplished.

WIUM VAN, Zyl. Adam Small, Kanna and 'that moral moment'. Tydskr. letterkd. [online]. 2012, vol.49, n.1, pp.40-50. ISSN 2309-9070.
This essay revisits Adam Small's best known play Kanna hy kô hystoe ("Kanna he comes home", 1965) in order to evaluate its relevance for contemporary readers and audiences. The text, considered one of the classics of Afrikaans literature, is analysed from a rhetorical point of view. The analysis includes an overview of several pertinent academic studies on the play, a summary of the play's sociopolitical context, and a brief background to rhetorical analysis. The article further takes account of the author's struggle with his prevailing cultural and political environment before and during the writing and publication of the play, as well as the drawn-out period of five years before its eventual first professional performance, and its subdued reception by prominent Afrikaans literary critics. The second part of the article involves the identification and analysis of three rhetorical problems presented in the play: "Did Kanna act unethically by not returning 'home' after his studies?"; "Did Dickie deserve his death sentence?"; and "Who was responsible for creating the wretched circumstances which Makiet, who had always been caring, had to endure?"
Palabras clave : Adam Small; Afrikaans plays; rhetoric.

Benedict Cumberbatch
"I was an acting school graduate that nobody wanted to hire"
Benedict Cumberbatch
His portrayals of quirky geniuses such as Sherlock Holmes and the code breaker Alan Turing in The Imitation Game, have brought the British actor, 38, world fame. In an interview, he talks about his father's tears, his love of hobbits and a rendezvous with a sperm whale
Mr. Cumberbatch, you are an avid diver. Considering your busy schedule, do you ever have time to go diving?
My time is tight, it's true, but when I can arrange to do so, I climb on a plane and fly somewhere where I can dive. Nothing gives me a greater sense of peace and tranquility than being under water.
What is the best diving spot you've ever been to?
It was fantastic in Cuba, which has a fascinating underwater world. My first nighttime dive was in Mozambique, and that too, was sensational. But South Africa was amazing, the best! On my very first dive, I got to see a sperm whale and its calf swimming together no more than ten meters away. That was one of the most impressive moments of my life.
Is there any truth in the rumor that you always have excess baggage when you travel?
Yes, I never manage to stay within the weight limit. I usually pack too many books and then end up paying a hefty surcharge.
You have built yourself an incredible career over the past few years. What do you have that others don't?
I don't know whether there's a secret to my success. I just work hard – and I enjoy my work. And when I do have a break, I make the most of it and recharge my inner batteries. By diving, for instance.
Maybe you are a genius, like some of the men you have been playing recently…
That would be news to me (laughs). I have been damn lucky. That's why I always try to make the best of the opportunities I am offered – and at the same time, to deal with them one after the other. I concentrate all my attention on the project I am currently working on, and only when that's completed do I look around the corner to see what's coming next.
Have you ever looked around the corner and been surprised at what you found?
No, it has all been a gradual process. Of course Sherlock changed things; the series touched a nerve. But even before that, I had had regular work for quite a while and also had some great roles.
Is there anything you wish you had experienced earlier in your career because of how it would help you now?
No. I have learned that it's best in this job not too worry too much about the little things, and also that there are is much we have no control over. But I learned all of that right at the start, after graduating from acting school and not being offered a single job for six months.
The characters you play are often a bit different, eccentric, say. Have you ever felt like an outsider in private life?
Everyone knows the feeling of being different, or not belonging, like at a party when you stand around wondering what you're actually doing there. Like when you discover hair on your body where you never had any before – or the other way around. Or when you imagine everyone around you is better, further along, more normal, more successful than you are. But I wouldn't equate any of that with what it feels like to really be an outsider or persecuted, like the gay mathematician Alan Turing, whom I portrayed in The Imitation Game." This is a subject that should concern each and every one of us.
Because things are becoming dangerous again today: Fundamentlism, extremism, nationalism – every day I am horrified at the direction our world is taking. ISIS is beheading people who don't share their beliefs; in Russia, you have to conceal your homosexuality, and even in democratic countries like Greece, people who are different end up as the scapegoats in times of crisis. Fear and ignorance are a terrible combination. As an actor, I hope to be able to show in some small way that we can overcome our differences by making the effort to understand one another.
Your parents are also actors. Did your father read you good goodnight stories?
Oh yes! Tolkien's The Hobbit was one of my favorite books very early on. My father was fantastic at bringing all of the characters to life. I have him to thank for my voice-over in the Hobbit films. The way he used to read aloud illustrated to me the power of words and how letters can bring whole fantasy worlds to life.
Everyone knows the feeling of being different, or not belonging
What was your father's reaction to your role in The Hobbit?
He was absolutely thrilled, but then he said: "Why didn't they ask me?" (laughs)
Is there a role your parents were particularly impressed by?
My parents are always terribly proud of me. I owe everything I am to them. They showered me with love when I was a child and have always supported me in everything that was important to me – really always.
It sounds like a wonderful relationship.
There's a story about me and my dad from when I was still at university. I was playing Mozart's nemesis, Salieri, in a stage production of Amadeus. After the show, we were sitting in the car and my father said: "Son, you are better than I ever was and ever will be. You have a great career ahead of you if you decide to go into acting professionally."
What was your reaction?
We were both moved to tears and ended up putting our arms around each other. That was one of the best moments of my life – after the experience with the sperm whale.

Teresa Thomas spent her young adulthood working alongside her grandfather in the tobacco fields surrounding Burlington before making socks at a local textile plant.
Still in her early 20s, Thomas had big dreams which led her to go back to school and pursue a career in the U.S. Air Force. On Saturday, Thomas will say goodbye to her military career after serving 25 years.
Thomas, 53, decided to bring her military retirement ceremony back to Burlington which isn�t common. Most service members conduct their retirement ceremonies on the base where they are stationed. Thomas said earlier this year she decided to have her retirement ceremony conducted in her hometown so her family and friends in North Carolina could attend.
Thomas said her retirement will be bittersweet, but she is looking forward to the next chapter in life. The retirement ceremony will be held at 2:30 p.m. today at Lighthouse Chapel at 2006 Maple Ave., Burlington. Thomas will retire with a rank of lieutenant colonel.
For the past several years, Thomas has served as the Air Force Reserve Advisor to the Director for the Air and Space Expeditionary Force and Personnel Operations at the Headquarters Air Force Personnel Center at Randolph Air Force Base in Texas.
She entered the military in October 1988 after receiving her commission in May 1988 through the Reserve Officers Training Corps at North Carolina A&T University.
As an Air Force Commissioned Officer, Thomas served in a variety of squadron, group, wing and staff positions during the past 25 years. She is also a 1986 graduate of Elon University where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice.
Thomas is married to Stephen Thomas who retired from the U.S. Air Force in 2005 after a 30-year career. They have four children.
After the retirement ceremony, Thomas will travel to Virginia to spend time with family before heading back to Texas where she will continue to live in San Antonio.
Thomas said she has mixed emotions about saying goodbye to a way of life she has known most of her adult life. The next chapter in her life will include doing more volunteer work in her community in Texas and working for Premier Designs, a jewelry company.
Her husband is a government civilian worker who will continue to work in Texas for a few more years. Thomas said she would eventually like to move back to North Carolina or Virginia when he retires.
Thomas spent a few days this week with her mother, Annie Ruth Perry Rice, in Burlington before the retirement ceremony was held. They reflected together on her decision to join the military in 1988 which came as a surprise for some in the family.
�I always had it in the back of mind I wanted to join the military,� Thomas said. �I don�t know why because my family didn�t have a military background.�
Rice said it wasn�t easy at times knowing that her daughter was in harm�s way but was proud she decided to serve her country.
The toughest day for them both was on Sept. 11, 2001, when terrorists flew an airplane into the Pentagon in Washington D.C. Thomas had been working at the Pentagon since 1999 before the attack.
On the day of the attack, Thomas was not inside her normal office located in one of the Pentagon�s outer rings. She said she was off work that day and was at her home just 10 miles away from the Pentagon when the attack occurred.
�When it happened I felt guilty for not being there,� she said.
Thomas said she called her mom and daughter later in the day to let them know she was okay. The next few days remained busy for Thomas as she reported to the Pentagon for duty.
�The building was still smoldering the next day after the attack,� Thomas said. �I remember the smell at the Pentagon. It was a different place after that.�
Two months later, Thomas was assigned to Langley Air Force Base in Virginia where she continued to be part of the Air and Space Expeditionary Force.
Thomas said she is proud of the work she accomplished as part of the Air and Space Expeditionary Force. Looking back, she has no regrets of joining the military.
�I feel so fortunate and blessed,� she said.
The retirement ceremony will include the posting of the colors by a military honor guard, singing of the national anthem, a prayer, presentation of several certificates and service medals, and speeches. Thomas said she was especially proud to have her nieces and nephews present at the ceremony.
�I wanted to expose them to the military and show them they could do anything they wanted to do in life, it just takes a little work,� she said.
During her career, Thomas received the Global War on Terrorism Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Air Force Achievement Medal, Joint Commendation Medal, and Meritorious Service Medal.

Attorney General Beau Biden is providing tips to Delaware consumers whose accounts may have been affected in Target's data breach.
Attorney General Beau Biden is providing tips to Delaware consumers whose accounts may have been affected in Target's data breach.
According to authorities, payment card data may have been stolen for as many as 40 million Target customers who made credit or debit card purchases in its U.S. stores from Nov. 27 to Dec. 15. Data taken in this breach may have included customer name, credit or debit card number, the card's expiration date, and the card's three-digit CVV security code.
"All consumers who made credit or debit card purchases at Target over the past three weeks should closely monitor their account activity, follow some simple tips we're providing, and contact our Consumer Protection Unit at (800) 220-5424 if they believe they have been the victim of fraud as a result of this scheme," Biden said today.
In addition to monitoring activity on the credit and debit cards used to make purchases at Target, Biden urged consumers to immediately take the following precautionary steps:
- Contact the financial institution that provides the card consumers used at Target during this time period to place a fraud alert on that account
- Obtain a free credit report from each of the three nationwide credit reporting agencies by visiting AnnualCreditReport.com or by calling (877) 322-8228. By law, consumers are entitled to receive one free credit report from each credit reporting agency every year
- Place a fraud alert on credit reports with each of the three nationwide credit reporting agencies by contacting Equifax at (800) 525-6285, Experian at (888) 397-3742, and TransUnion at (800) 680-7289

Dancing With The Stars Brooke Burke Promotes Skechers In Vegas And Writes On Her Secret Wedding
Yesterday, Brooke Burke helped to promote the Skechers shoe line at a booth at the MAGIC Fashion Trade Show in Las Vegas. You can see some more fun pictures of her like the one above at Vegas News.
Brooke has recently written all about her wedding and honeymoon in the French West Indies at her blog. I thought the title "My Secret Wedding – All The Details From My Heart" was a cool one and very fitting. More below in a take. You can read the rest of her story at the link as well as viewing more pictures and a drawing of her wedding dress.
From the moment that you step foot onto the island of St. Barts, every day is a celebration. But this vacation was the setting for an 18 year long dream to come true.
On the morning of August 8th, we left as a family to return to St. Barts (my favorite destination in the world). Only this time, we were on a secret mission, with beautiful intentions and long-awaited dreams.
My Mark Zunino wedding dress was carefully stuffed and wrapped in a large suitcase, diamond Jimmy Choos lay beside it in a felt bag. Our Peter Marco wedding bands were placed in my carry-on, and four white hydrangeas were discreetly accompanying us to the perfect secret rendezvous.
We told no one – no friends, not even our mothers. This is going to sound so Hollywood, but I did have to call in the industry troops – my stylist, jeweler & publicist to manage the news. Our wedding day was carefully thought-out, planned in spontaneous record time and…

The tell-tale sign that you've arrived in Taroom is the Steel Wings windmill at the northern entry to town. Manufactured around the turn of the 20th Century, the windmill is a rare commodity, being only one of two known windmills of its type still in working order.
The landmark says a lot about the town. Taroom is steeped in early European history and built on primary industries – first sheep, now cattle and grain.
The region opened up to settlers in the 1840s with the northern exploits of early explorer Ludwig Leichhardt. The good doctor took a liking to the place while camped by the Dawson River, carving his initials and year date – LL 1844 – into the bark of a coolabah tree. The initials long since gone – in somewhat controversial circumstances – the tree still stands pride of place in the main street, which is as it happens, the Leichhardt Highway.
A pleasant walk up the hill takes you to Gilbert's Lookout, named after Leichhardt's companion who met a violent end here.
Across town in Yaldwyn Street, Leichhardt Park is the site of Leichhardt's memorial. The park is dedicated to the region's native flora with weeping bottle brush, flaxleaf paperbark, lemon scented gum, swamp mahogany and bloodwood found throughout the grounds. The exception is a single Aleppo Pine, seeded from Lone Pine on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

With leftover vouchers that were expiring very soon, I decided to buy some chocolates from Teuscher in Palais Renaissance.
They sell by weight here. My eight bonbons cost me about $32+
Green and red for the festive theme
One got eaten while I was snapping a photo, whoops :X
Out of the three I tried, my favourite was the champagne truffle. A milk chocolate shell encasing soft melt-in-the-mouth bitter dark chocolate ganache and a soft gooey champagne infused centre.
Close to being my favourite ( but the champagne truffle was just a little bit more sophisticated) was the traditional bonbon with griottes. It's best to pop the whole thing in your mouth or you might just spill the liquer inside the thin chocolate case. The cherry itself is not pitted, so don't bite too hard!
Expensive little morsels but certainly an option you should consider when you decide to pamper yourself with some luxury chocolates.

Top 5 with Lisa Foiles: Top 5 Robots
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 NEXT
where is robo-ky?
i am disappoint
I have that Emilio robot XD
"hugs lisa"
KOS-MOS? interesting name, considering it means "space" in Russian.
honorable mention for your list would have to include t260G from Saga Frontier :D . Though technically they're called Mecs in the game they're still robots. Also it's main quest features t260g's ability to change it's form into 6 other models other than it's own, and the final form which kicks all kinds of ass.
Great list as always.
HK-47 was the only logical choice, meatbag.
Seriously. That guy was fucking awesome. So many of the things he said had me in stitches :P
Observation: I have to note that this list, indeed, is ingenious. For a meatbag.
Actually, DE-TREE-TUS is not "gibberish", it is a name. While it derives from detritus, it is not pronounced the same way. As it is a name, it can be pronounced however the owner of the name wants to pronounce it. This is why you will hear a bunch of different pronunciations of the same surname. Detritus is pronounced in the game Scrapland as "DE-TREE-TUS". Please go buy and play the game before you start throwing accusations around, as you are simply throwing your ignorance around as it is.
Also, yes, his name is American. Yes, he was named American at birth, by his mother.
I agree with the blender!
Arrested Development, always a goode fallback for jokes :D
Love Blendy btw.
Yes i know it's not a game...
I have an Emiglio! I got it for free in some sort of contest and I had no idea what it was so I only played with it for a while. I still have it and I was planning on giving it away since it uses those old, clunky batteries. But I've hold on to it because of nostalgic reasons, I guess. :/
And for some reason, I hated Cl4p-tr4p. I just thought he was annoying as hell, trying to be all funny and appealing. I kept trying to shoot him down but he wouldn't die/shut up! Maybe there's something wrong with me and wanting to kill NPCs (I'm looking at you, every person in Half Life 2!)
PS: This episode has introduced me to the Top 5. And now...I've neglected my homework in order to watch all the episodes...so at least, now I'm up to speed. Not with homework. But whatever.
I like that blender, he has some good ideas.
I'm not the only one to remember Scrapland?
Wierd. Very good game. Still play it sometimes when I'm bored with Freelancer.
Wheres Dog From Halflife 2 :'(
Steve and Larson cared enough to keep a stinking android out of their top robots lists...
Also I think Lisa should just quit with the list nonsense (she isn't going to please everyone because everyone has their own lists) and do a sketch show, I'm guessing the only reason that its not happening is that she would then be competing against two other shows who do nerd sketches.
My god I had one of those robots from the start of the video. You know, the red, blue, and yellow one.
Seriously, where is the Megaman love? Also, I'm kinda thinking the Portal turrents would count as robots, wouldn't they? GLaDOS might count as a robot as well, or is she more of a computer?
I am sad about the lack of DOG :(
huh, what?
Lisa just said no new Top 5 today :(
but why?
whaaaaaaaaat ?
how come?
and where did you hear that ?
There goes my whole Tuesday.
On her Twitter account, @LisaFoiles, not sure why :(
Lol, i loved all the Claptraps, especially the claptrap from Dr.Ned's Zombie island.
But you forgot a few important robots like GLADOS (does she count as robot?)
From the looks of it KOS-MOS is not only not a robot, she is not even an android. Correct term for it would be gynoid. Judging by name it also most probably runs on Linux. Recursive abbreviations are kind of a tradition there.
Glad to see HK-47 was top, all throughout i was hoping he would be number one.
In the first 30 seconds... what the hell happened to the toaster?!?
R110... where was he? Timesplitters gets NO LOVE.
Love the HK-47 perfect #1, Also love the new hair always liked red heads :)
Ermmm, where the new Top 5? :S
Syzygy from UT04 is the greatest robot ever, don't be silly.

Relevant excerpt
Collegiality encompasses the basics of the professional ethics of the academic world: respect for persons, integrity of intellectual inquiry, and concern for the needs and rights of students. Above all, collegiality means the overriding concern to establish and maintain the ethical conditions and moral climate that promote faculty interdependence and interaction. Collegiality is essential to maintain or improve the academic quality of the university. For these reasons, collegiality is a basic expectation of a faculty member, whether specified (as in bylaws) or not, and separate and apart from academic credentials. Bylaws, standards, goals, and initiatives of the faculty are paralyzed without collegiality.

PS: Before I forget, congrats on the one Fav and the one RT on your tweet, Tommy. Winning!
The richies have polluted the waters. They say they create all the jobs, that we're worthless without them, that we need to be like them.But nothing is further from the truth.
The truth is everybody should be able to pay their bills, have a roof over their head and food on the table, hopefully via a well-paying job. But after we institute the floor, life is about choices. And those who tell you to sell out to the man have no backbone.Can you imagine a corporation tying up with John Lennon? Who incited controversy seemingly every time he opened his mouth? You wonder why we've got no more John Lennons? Because people are afraid to piss off the payers, the man.
"Go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something."
Oh Serafino...
As IKN explained, carefully and patiently, at the time of the last financials filing for GCM.to...

Here comes a necessary word or three about Bolivia. There's a bit of a pump starting on Bolivia and its mining potential for Vancouver-type junior explorecos, which seems to be based around the move made by the arch-scamster John Lee and his Prophecy (PCY) company, that's just bought ex-Orvana properties in Bolivia. Lee's being assisted in his pump by another scumbag, Thom Calandra. Alongside the direct promo on his company, Bolivia is now getting touted as a place that will welcome FDI for at least some of the same reasons Ecuador is being promo'd, with all that about the dump in hydrocarbon prices meaning these States are now newly desperate for foreign capitals and will welcome northern capital with newly open arms, do anything for us tall paleskinned people, etc etc. It's total bullshit and I can't stress that too highly. Bolivia will accept FDI on its terms, but as things stand and as things will stand while Evo Morales is in power (let's call that indefinite for our purposes today), those terms are nobody's idea of good. As things stand today Bolivia is in good shape, it's just posted 5.5% GDP growth in 2014 (8) (the best in all South America last year) and despite the drop in gas prices its Finance Minister expects 5.9% growth in 2015. Quite right too, because the North seems to forget that Bolivia sells its gas on long term contracts to Brazil and Argentina that are less affected by the moves in spot market prices; its revenues may change from year to year but it's not boom/bust, either. We should also note that Bolivia's international reserves are now at 50% of annual GDP, the highest percentage level in Latin America. Be clear; this country is not desperate for your dollars. In fact if things go unexpectedly badly for Bolivia's economy in 2015, or things don't pick up and 2016 or 2017 start looking soft, it's manifold times more likely that the country nationalizes its mining industry than opens it up to neoliberal type investment opportunities. Companies at the scam end of the junior mining world such as PCY will be able to spin out their hoodwinking games on properties there, but please don't take these people seriously.
Bolivia has been an impressive economic success story in the last ten years. But it's done that by ignoring the orthodox western model, by wholly rejecting it, by nationalizing and spending the cash in classic left-wing social program ways. Perhaps it's a special case, perhaps not, the debates on the philosophy behind its success and whether it's sustainable are for other places but if you think it's about to change the model you need to change the books you're reading. The country is and will remain Socialist with a capital S and not the place for the most cutting edge of capitalist money, that which funds junior mining exploration companies. End.

Now listen carefully…
Jeremy Pound on the increasingly difficult art of concert concentration
What sort of live music listener are you? By that, I mean are you easily distracted and need your fellow concert-goers to remain impeccably still and quiet if you are to concentrate on the music? Or are you the type who can take your seat and immediately 'zone in' on the performance on stage, remaining utterly oblivious to anything else that might be going on around the hall?
By and large, I've always thought I've fallen into the latter group. OK, so I strongly believe that anyone who fails to turn their mobile phone off during a performance (and, worse still, answers it) should be forced to stand with their head directly between the cymbals next time a Shostakovich symphony is in town, but otherwise I feel my tolerance levels are pretty high. If someone wants to clap after the first movement of a symphony, for instance, it's not going to ruin my enjoyment of the second.
But however tolerant one thinks one is, or at least tries to be, you can be bound that someone or something will come along to push that tolerance to the very limit. Take three experiences of my own that came within the space of just one month earlier this year.
Firstly, during an otherwise delightful recital for soprano and violin in Sofia, Bulgaria, did the parents who let their children run up and down, up and down, up and down the side of the auditorium throughout the concert really think we wouldn't notice? And then, what exactly was it that was so important to two 20-somethings in Lugano, Switzerland that they had to gabble it to each other during the first movement of Chopin's First Piano Concerto, played by Martha Argerich? Yes. Martha Argerich, no less – one of the greatest pianists of any era, but whose performances are as rare as hen's teeth.
But my worst bile, alas, is reserved for 'Mrs Jangle', who sat a couple of rows behind me at a piano trio recital at my local, the Cheltenham Festival. She looked fairly intelligent… so did she not think beforehand that, as someone who clearly has trouble sitting even relatively still, an array of large bangles on her right wrist might not be the best attire for a concert? And had she not twigged that, in the event of a runny nose, placing her packet of tissues below her very large bunch of very jangly keys in her handbag might be potentially problematic? Grrr.
As we have reported in the current issue of BBC Music Magazine, composer Jonathan Harvey recently made a well considered appeal for concert hall etiquette to loosen up, so that potential new listeners won't feel intimidated. In sentiment, I agree with him entirely. But, in practice, I fear that the more that one offers an inch, the more people will take a mile – and there's a limit to how far classical music in the concert hall can withstand that.
Jeremy Pound is deputy editor of BBC Music Magazine. He's not normally so grumpy.

The time has come for me to say Goodbye to LOTRO Weekly. I had a lot of fun and I hope I helped some people along the way. In the end, it's not you, it's me. No really. My main reasons for shutting down LOTRO Weekly are thus: not enough time in my life to devote to quality LOTRO blogging and feeling pressure from myself to be putting out content on a regular basis. These two things combined mean that I just don't have as much fun writing for LOTRO Weekly as I once did. Like I said, this is mostly because of internal pressures that I put on myself. At this point, I spend more time digging through the forums and doing LW stuff than actually playing LOTRO, which I feel is not how it should be.
I will leave LOTRO Weekly up in a slightly different format so that people can still access the information herein, I'm not a Scorched-Blog type person.
I will still be active in the Windfola community and will still post to the LOTRO forums when it strikes my fancy to write a guide or something. I will also keep The White Captain up, as that is strictly for my RP pursuits and outfits.
Again, I hope I have helped some people in the past year this site has been going and I hope it continues to help people.

Note that you cannot use lx branded zones on a Trusted Solaris system where labels are enabled. The zoneadm command will not verify the configuration.
You must be the global administrator in the global zone to perform this procedure.
Become superuser, or assume the Primary Administrator role.
To create the role and assign the role to a user, see Using the Solaris Management Tools With RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.
Set up a zone configuration with the zone name you have chosen.
The name lx-zone is used in this example procedure.
global# zonecfg -z lx-zone
If this is the first time you have configured this zone, you will see the following system message:
lx-zone: No such zone configured Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.
Create the new lx zone configuration by using the SUNWlx template.
zonecfg:lx-zone> create -t SUNWlx
Alternatively, you can create a blank zone and explicitly set the brand:
zonecfg:lx-zone> create -b zonecfg:lx-zone> set brand=lx
Set the zone path, /export/home/lx-zone in this procedure.
zonecfg:lx-zone> set zonepath=/export/home/lx-zone
Set the autoboot value.
If set to true, the zone is automatically booted when the global zone is booted. Note that for the zones to autoboot, the zones service svc:/system/zones:default must also be enabled. The default value is false.
zonecfg:lx-zone> set autoboot=true
Set persistent boot arguments for a zone.
zonecfg:lx-zone> set bootargs="-i=altinit"
If resource pools are enabled on your system, associate a pool with the zone.
This example uses the default pool, named pool_default.
zonecfg:lx-zone> set pool=pool_default
Because a resource pool can have an optional scheduling class assignment, you can use the pools facility to set a default scheduler other than the system default for a non-global zone. For instructions, see How to Associate a Pool With a Scheduling Class and Creating the Configuration.
Revise the default set of privileges.
zonecfg:lx-zone> set limitpriv="default,proc_priocntl"
The proc_priocntl privilege is used to run processes in the real-time class.
Set five CPU shares.
zonecfg:lx-zone> set cpu-shares=5
Add a memory cap.
zonecfg:lx-zone> add capped-memory
Add a file system.
zonecfg:lx-zone> add fs
Set the mount point for the file system, /export/linux/local in this procedure.
zonecfg:lx-zone:fs> set dir=/export/linux/local
Specify that /opt/local in the global zone is to be mounted as /export/linux/local in the zone being configured.
zonecfg:lx-zone:fs> set special=/opt/local
In the non-global zone, the /export/linux/local file system will be readable and writable.
Specify the file system type, lofs in this procedure.
zonecfg:lx-zone:fs> set type=lofs
The type indicates how the kernel interacts with the file system.
End the file system specification.
zonecfg:lx-zone:fs> end
This step can be performed more than once to add more than one file system.
Add a network virtual interface.
zonecfg:lx-zone> add net
Set the IP address in the form ip address of zone/netmask. In this procedure, 10.6.10.233/24 is used.
zonecfg:lx-zone:net> set address=10.6.10.233/24
Set the physical device type for the network interface, the bge device in this procedure.
zonecfg:lx-zone:net> set physical=bge0
End the specification.
zonecfg:lx-zone:net> end
This step can be performed more than once to add more than one network interface.
Enable an audio device present in the global zone in this zone by using the attr resource type.
zonecfg:lx-zone> add attr
Verify the zone configuration for the zone.
zonecfg:lx-zone> verify
Commit the zone configuration for the zone.
zonecfg:lx-zone> commit
Exit the zonecfg command.
zonecfg:lx-zone> exit
Note that even if you did not explicitly type commit at the prompt, a commit is automatically attempted when you type exit or an EOF occurs.
The zonecfg command also supports multiple subcommands, quoted and separated by semicolons, from the same shell invocation.
global# zonecfg -z lx-zone "create -t SUNWlx; set zonepath=/export/home/lx-zone"

Tuesday's Disunion in the New York Times contains a useful contribution by Elizabeth R. Varon entitled "Women at War." In the piece, Varon essentially makes the argument, accepted by most academic historians, that women and gender are important topics in understanding the Civil War. That the author is making this important point and that the Times is giving her a platform to do so is quite commendable.
A central figure in Varon's column is Elizabeth Van Lew. Van Lew was a Unionist who lived in wartime Richmond, Virginia, where she aided Union prisoners held at the city's infamous Libby Prison. She also ran a spy ring inside the heart of the Confederate capital.
Elizabeth Van Lew's most important operative, unmentioned by Varon, was Mary Elizabeth Bowser. Bowser had been born a slave of the Van Lew family. Elizabeth and her mother freed their slaves after the death of her father. Bowser continued to work for the Van Lews after being freed as a paid servant and they eventually sent her north to Philadelphia before the war to be educated.
(One point to be drawn here was that for a lucky few in the antebellum South freedom could come through acts of manumission and in some cases slaves managing to buy their freedom.)
Mary Elizabeth Bowser (her surname coming from her prewar marriage) eventually returned to Richmond and after the outbreak of the Civil War with Elizabeth Van Lews' help managed to get hired in the Confederate White House working as a servant for the family of Jefferson Davis. As a servant, Bowser was hard-working and competent, effecting a simpleton personality and feigning illiteracy. This allowed her to gather intelligence from conversations overheard and from reading government papers left out in the open. Bowser was never caught and continued passing information to Elizabeth Van Lew throughout the war. The value of the intelligence she provided is unknown, but at the very least she gave Union leaders a sense of the activities, visitors, gossip, and mood in the household of the highest Confederate leader, useful information in wartime.
I'm not faulting Elizabeth R. Varon for not mentioning Bowser. Major newspapers are necessarily stingy with space even on the internet and the focus of Varon's column is gender not race (and she gives Harriet Tubman a nod), but in featuring Elizabeth Van Lew so prominently someone really ought to mention Mary Elizabeth Bowser–so I am.

On Oct. 15, Scott Smith, then 39, father of three and owner of SKB Insurance, did not know his name or the name of the stranger in the hospital room who seemed important. That stranger was his wife, Kim, of 13 years.
On Oct. 15, Scott Smith, then 39, father of three and owner of SKB Insurance, did not know his name or the name of the stranger in the hospital room who seemed important. That stranger was his wife, Kim, of 13 years.
Three days earlier, the two were conversing as they prepared for dinner when he collapsed and suffered a seizure-like attack. When he began to regain consciousness two hospitals later, his mind was like a computer hard drive that had been wiped clean. He could speak English, but he had no memories and little knowledge. When a nurse asked if he recognized Kim, he said nothing.
"One of the hard things was 'I love you,'" he said Monday as they sat together at their living room table just outside of Bryant. "I had no idea what love was. They sent me home with a stranger from the hospital. And I told the doctor, I was like, 'Well, at least she's good-looking.'"
What's it like when your husband doesn't recognize you? Kim didn't really realize the depth of the memory loss until they left the hospital and he didn't recognize any landmarks on the way home, nor his house, nor his children. At first, he just wanted to go back to the hospital — the only place in the world that was familiar.
"I had to explain to him that the nurses, they're not your family," she said. "They're not even your friends. They're there doing a service. That was their job. … This is where you're loved and where you belong."
For six weeks, Scott barely left the bedroom as he tried to put the pieces of the puzzle back together. Basic knowledge, facts, understanding the way the world works — all of that returned pretty quickly. Staring intently at a World Series baseball game, he soon understood what was happening, for example.
But personal memories were slower. For weeks, Kim and the children were living with a stranger, and they were strangers to him. Looking at photos didn't help, and still doesn't.
Then one day a flood of memories returned. When Kim found him cleaning one of the children's rooms upstairs, he asked her, "Did you feel underdressed when you wore jeans and a blouse and I wore khakis and a shirt during our first date?'"
Doctors said it would all come back, but it hasn't yet. Childhood memories are vivid, but much of the past 10-12 years is fuzzy. He remembers his wedding day and the pink Razorbacks outfit worn by middle child Brenna at the hospital, but he doesn't remember the birth of his youngest daughter, Bradie.
Doctors don't know what happened, which means they can't promise that it won't happen again. He does not have epilepsy or a tumor, and no brain cells have died. The physical problems – a loss of peripheral vision and some hearing loss – have been on the left side, so maybe he had some kind of stroke.
They're not quite to this story's happily-ever-after phase. He now has occasional migraines. He tried to hit the restart button on his insurance agency in January and worked too hard too soon, and now there are a few short-term memory issues. He can't work yet.
Something else happened to Scott: He gained a new perspective. His personality hasn't undergone a wholesale change, but he's less tightly wound. Before the episode, he was negative sometimes, and he was pushing himself unhealthily. He'd sold a business, had a bad experience working for a big company, and started his insurance agency in July, so he had been working like crazy for a long time. He'd run for office unsuccessfully twice. Maybe his body or his brain rebelled.
Now he doesn't let things bother him anymore. In fact, he's the one who often reassures Kim, always the more laid-back of the two, about their priorities and about what really doesn't matter. Maybe he had to be taught a lesson.
"I couldn't get a cold," he joked. "I have to get something just full-blown."
He does mourn the memories that haven't returned, but as a friend reminded him, he can't be sure he had them all in the first place. Life gets so busy, and it's easy to get distracted and miss the small stuff. So now he makes sure, when the opportunity arises, to concentrate on the details to make sure a memory lasts. He knows, better than anyone, that sometimes it doesn't.
"You appreciate the day more," he said. "You appreciate the moment more; you appreciate the memory that you just made; you appreciate the memory that you had last week … and you just cherish those because life wasn't taken away from us, but a portion of life was."

PORTLAND, Ore. (PRWEB) January 22, 2013
Bogs Footwear (http://www.bogsfootwear.com) will debut its Fall 2013 collection at Outdoor Retailer in Salt Lake City, Utah January 23 – 26. The brand, known for its signature handled, insulated neoprene footwear, will showcase its continued expansion into the men's, women's and children's casual, hunting and industrial markets. The new styles also feature two advancements in Bogs technology: EverDry, which helps better manage moisture around the foot, and the new all-natural DuraFresh biotechnology to ensure an odor-free footwear experience.
"Everyone at Bogs is committed to our mission to make better shoes every day," says Bill Combs, founder and president of Bogs Footwear. "For Fall 2013, that means staying ahead of the pack with the most efficient insulation and moisture-wicking technology on the market, continuing to perfect the unsurpassed durability of natural rubber, and making 100% waterproof footwear that is as warm as a pac boot yet as comfortable as your favorite pair of sneakers."
Whether you're a kid playing in the snow for countless hours, a commuter facing the elements, or a mom looking for the perfect waterproof style – there is a Bogs style for the whole family this fall and winter seasons.
Meet the newest additions to the Bogs family:
Some of the most exciting new Bogs for Fall 2013 include the women's Summit collection. These 100% waterproof cozy weekend boots (MSRP $100) are crafted from super-soft fabric and plush lining for extra warmth. The machine-washable Neo-Bogs feature 2mm of Neo-Tech insulation, a dual-density, contoured EVA insole with DuraFresh anti-odor protection, molded rubber outsole and are comfort-rated from temperate to 14 ̊F for chilly fall and winter wear.

Featuring 2mm of Neo-Tech plus 2mm of EverDry with Bogs Max-Wick to keep feet comfortable, the Local is durable enough to withstand the elements on your extreme commute but still looks as casual (and feels as comfortable) as your go-to kicks.
This fall, Bogs brings something to delight every tiny adventurer and brighten up those chilly autumn and winter days so kids can spend more time where it counts – outside.

I have been a fan of FASA's ShadowRun since I first purchased the second edition in 1992. For about a year though it sort of laid around. Finally, for my gaming group I actually learned the rules and decided that with some modifications I actually liked the rules. Dice Pools, rules of one, et all. Now, a lot of people I know don't care for SR2's Dice Pools. I've played 3rd Edition (that's as far as I went) and it caters to the player that doesn't care for Dice Pools. Can't say I cared for that. In any case, we had some House Rules and by the time I really got in to the game I felt I had a handle on it and was starting to introduce things (weapons, equipment, etc) that weren't actually in the rules.
Now, I did have some issues with SR2, but they mainly involved what I saw as plot limitations. I can't see magic coming back in to the world without someone somwhere (espcially Elves and Dwarves) trying to enchant a blade, be it sword or battle axe, or what have you. But no where in the First Edition Grimoire is there any magical weaponry. Which brings up another point. The 2nd Edition Grimoire (which I have) totally destroyed, I think, one of the key factors of the magic system. In the standard SR2 system you can adjust damage up and down based on a damage level threshold, the amount of "successes" you have in the attack, and the reduction of those successes by the amount of defense in your target's appropriate dice pool. In the First Edition Grimoire it listed this the same as with weapons in the normal SR2 books. But by the 2nd Edition Grimoire they had eliminated the amount of successes you needed to increase or decrease a wound level. Your spell (or device) incurred a set damage level and that was it.
To me that's completely unrealistic. Sure, you can expect the same kind of damage each time from a spell given factors being equal. But I believe the randomness of the dice rolls add some aspect of realism. Well, they did away with that in the Second Edition Grimoire.
Some of the other issues I had with SR2 was it's cleanliness. The books talked a lot about the "mean streets," corporate espionage, blah, blah, blah. But when it came to down to actual game balance it was very DIFFICULT to actually KILL someone. I also did not get the feeling like I was in either a William Gibson novel or something akin to Blade Runner. Your character's (sorry, archetype) profession was something he did on the side from his real job. He went out like Batman at night and was back by morning. Compound this by the fact that if you have hard to kill PCs with big guns controlled by hack/slash minded players in a system oriented much more towards shooting versus roleplaying then you develop situations where the PCs have zero respect for any authority and have not a care in the world for the damage they do. Our gaming sessions quickly disentegrated in to strong arm robbery that left whole city blocks decimated. Oh, but it was at night so it's a real cyberpunk kind of thing. /sarcasm
And yeah, I had to deal with the whole situation of PCs sitting around while the Decker screwed around in cyberspace by him/her self. I had actually come up with a 'solution' for that by the time our group broke up.
So there were those limitations. Shortly after this time I got in to Rolemaster so my whole gaming focus changed at this point. But, ever since I heard about Cyberspace (ICE's ShadowRun equivalent) I wanted to try it because of the regard I had for RM.
I was finally able to get the book and I am liking it. It's a simplified version of RM I think, but I have a plan. I'm taking the scenario of ShadowRun with my modifications and that will be my gaming world. Centered in Seattle, WA with all of the 2nd Edition ShadowRun events. So, we have the metahumans return and so on as well as the various things laid out in the SR books. But I am going to use Cyberspace's game mechanics in this scenario. Furthermore, since I am using SRs return of magic to the world, the magic system will be covered by Spell Law (and the RM Companions as they relate to spells). RM weapons will probably come across as well, but I need Cyberspace's rules coverage on modern weapons. I don't have SpaceMaster yet, but I want to get it. I plan to use it's system to cover more advanced technology and weaponry and fill in any gaps where Cyberspace may fall down. Cyberspace will cover the cyber rules for me, which until now I had no way (short of making rules myself) to regulate.
This I believe will satisfy my vision of what ShadowRun should have been. Magic and mysticism meeting modern weapons and technology. I think it will give aspects to each character profession that will make them both attractive and deadly in their own ways. Versus, SRs system where some archetypes were just pointless. The combination of the rules from the different ICE systems will also allow for realism (within this genre of course) and make players think twice about committing actions. You can very easily get killed.
I'm looking at all of this at the moment. Hopefully I can swing a copy of SM soon and then see what I can add with that. In the meantime, any thoughts on this out there?
EDIT 11.6.2011: Just got SM last week! I was fortunate enough to score a 1st Edition box set with the maps (no counters though). So, that included TechLaw and FutureLaw. A friend has promised me his copy of SM Companion II.
I have some additional plans for all of this, but basically I have the third piece now for what I want to do here.
Look for the new SM forum later where I will detail some of the other things I want to do with SpaceMaster.

4BETTER OR WORSE- The week in review
Most outraged: Dr. Barbara Haskins joins the City Council race as an independent, citing her outrage at councilors' willingness to shell out $1 million to buy and staff ambulances rather than work with Charlottesville Albemarle Rescue Squad, according to a Bob Gibson story in the Daily Progress. Haskins, 55, is a psychiatrist who teaches at UVA and is employed at Western State Hospital.
Least competent: Shooting suspect Indio Martinez, 17, is found incompetent– again– to stand trial June 6 and will be transferred to a treatment facility, Liesel Nowak reports in the Progress. Martinez is charged in the March 2 shooting of a teen on Prospect Avenue. Last year, he was found unrestorably incompetent in the beating of two teens who refused to join the Bloods, a gang of which police say Martinez is a member, and released. He was also deemed incompetent on B&E charges in 2005– and released.
Greatest escape: Handcuff-clad Salvadore Sanchez flees the back of a State Police cruiser June 5 near Afton Mountain and remains at large at press time. Sanchez was pulled for allegedly driving 91 mph on I-64 without a license.
Worst security breach: Hackers gain access to the names and Social Security numbers of more than 5,700 past and present UVA faculty. The university discovered the breach May 29, and is working with the FBI. UVA is offering a year of free credit monitoring to the identity theft victims.
Worst fire: A trailer is destroyed June 11, and fire officials believe an electric water heater sparked the blaze on Slate Mill Branch Road that leaves a family of four homeless.
Worst luck: A tractor trailer hauling a load of mirrors flipped over on eastbound I-64 at the U.S. 29 interchange June 11 and tied up traffic for seven years. Okay, for most of the day.
Worst Chick-Fil-A fracas: Tennessean Eric Kebble is arrested June 7 and charged with malicious wounding at the fried-fowl restaurant after a male with multiple serious injuries is taken to the emergency room at UVA Medical Center.
Easternmost tour: Locally based country rock band Sons of Bill has been selected by Armed Forces Entertainment to travel to Guam, Korea, Japan and Okinowas and entertain the troops from July 1 - 31.
Latest School Board candidates: Lynette Meynig becomes the fifth candidate vying for one of four open seats on the Charlottesville School Board, a race in which it once looked like no one would run. And in the county, Patrick Wood challenges Brian Wheeler for the at-large seat on the Albemarle School Board.
Closest call: UVA hangs on to and extends the contract of baseball coach Brian O'Connor, who was being wooed by Florida.
Longest commute: Marc Turner's two-hour-and-42-minute drive from his paralegal job at Tysons Corner to his home in Charlottesville for the sake of better pay and cheaper housing is detailed in the June 3 Washington Post Magazine story, "Driven to Extremes."
Biggest oops: Fourth graders in Bedford glimpse a few seconds of hardcore porn following the credits at the end of an instructional video, the News-Advance reports. School officials blame the video reproduction company, and say the elementary school has had the tape for about four years, but no one had ever run it past the credits.
Best making lemonade out of lemons: TerraCycle donates five cents for every 20 ounce plastic bottle collected and uses the otherwise costly-to-recycle bottles to package liquefied worm poop as plant food. Henley Middle Schooler Will Gibson recycled 280 bottles since May and earned a $14 donation to the Nature Conservancy.

Spain overpower Italy to win UEFA EURO 2012
Sunday 1 July 2012
Article summary
Spain 4-0 Italy
Vicente del Bosque's side saved their best until last at UEFA EURO 2012 as they overwhelmed an Italy outfit that ran out of steam.
Article top media content
Article body
Spain saved their best until last at UEFA EURO 2012, a final-record 4-0 victory in Kyiv completing an unprecedented hat-trick of major tournament wins.
Against a flagging Italy side whose thrilling knockout campaign looked to have caught up with them, Spain were in control from the moment David Silva broke the deadlock with a rare header on 14 minutes. A barnstorming second with half-time approaching from the indefatigable Jordi Alba, his first international goal, left the Azzurri with a mountain to climb. The sight of Thiago Motta, their third substitute, being carried off on a stretcher ended all hope, causing Italy to play out the last 28 minutes with ten men – and Spain replacements Fernando Torres and Juan Mata fully capitalised.
This was billed as a meeting of great creative minds, of conductors in their prime, of Xavi Hernández against Andrea Pirlo; but for much of the opening phase it was a one-man show. Spain's No8 picked up the baton from the off, in harmony with Andrés Iniesta, dictating La Roja's now familiar staccato movement as Italy were forced deeper and deeper. The olés had already begun among the sizeable Spanish contingent in the 63,170 crowd when, just before the quarter-hour, the pair combined to devastating effect.
Xavi, who had fired narrowly over moments earlier, fed Iniesta and his finely weighted pass allowed Cesc Fàbregas to easily outstrip Giorgio Chiellini on the inside-right channel. There was still plenty to do but how simple Spain made it look as Fàbregas pulled a sharp ball back for Silva, all 170cm of him, to glance his header in. It proved a disappointed Chiellini's last real action as he soon succumbed to the thigh problem that has hampered him throughout his time in Poland and Ukraine.
A heavy-legged Italy could ill afford the double blow, but impressively they fought their way back into the contest. Pirlo, inevitably, was their driving force, the beating drum that pulled the strings at the back and sounded the horn to attack. Not that there was much of that. In fact, Pirlo's most telling contribution of the first half was a superb last-ditch block on Iniesta. Yet try as he might – and he did try – the 33-year-old could not be everywhere.
Spain's second was a little too easy, though. Standing on the touchline near halfway, Fàbregas nodded Iker Casillas's clearance to Alba who turned the ball into Xavi before haring forward. The Azzurri back line did not seem to notice but the erudite Xavi did, advancing forward before slotting his new FC Barcelona club-mate in. The composed left-footed finish that followed would have pleased even the injured David Villa, watching in the stands with Carles Puyol.
If it appeared that nothing could now deny Spain a first competitive victory against the Azzurri in 92 years – at least over 90 minutes – but Italy were not done yet. Antonio Di Natale, scorer in the 1-1 group stage draw between these sides three weeks ago, came on for Antonio Cassano and within six minutes he might have scored twice. His first chance, a header, was far from straightforward, but the striker could have done better when Riccardo Montolivo's pass found him in space. He snatched at the opportunity and the advancing Casillas blocked.
Yet Italy's slender hopes of mounting a comeback disappeared when Motta departed forlornly down the tunnel. It was left to Xavi to resume his conducting, slowing things down until, with six minutes remaining, he upped the tempo for a rousing crescendo. First he robbed Pirlo in midfield and set up Torres for a goal to add to his strike in the UEFA EURO 2008 final – a 'double' no one had managed before – then he combined with Torres to release Mata, just on, to seal an emphatic win. It has been an emphatic four years.
