Much is being made in the mainstream media right now about the threats being directed at journalists thanks to President Trump's incessant and reckless attacks on the media.
In the aftermath of the Annapolis shooting, Trump has doubled down on labeling the media as the "enemy of the people." When his mindless supporters begin to physically attack reporters — and they will — then Trump will have blood on his hands again.
Not to be left out, the Blade has come in for some, er, colorful attacks from the pro-Trump zombies. Below are some actual, unedited quotes that came to me after publishing last week's op-ed titled, "10 ways Trump is attacking LGBT rights."
"You sir are a socialist piece of shit that needs to go suck on Hillary Clinton's cock!"
"Why don't you let people think for them self's!"
"You are a maggot on society!"
"Thank you for your lies and bullshit propaganda that you pose on the American public!"
"Unfortunately for you not all Trump supporters are idiotic rednecks that have their hands full of meat! Whatever that might mean!"
"I don't understand why you waste your time with your lies and why you wouldn't want to try to manipulate people into voting for a murderous tyrant such as Hillary Clinton!"
"People like you I do nothing but spreading hatred And causing riots and disrupting Businesses!"
"You're probably scared of guns to just like most of you pansy liberals and you want to just arm American public so criminals can take over?"
"Do you want ever take away guns from American citizens and when you try to that's when you will have your Civil War against liberals."
"Are you trying to insinuate Some sort of American Civil War is a good idea? Because it seems to me that's exactly what you and your ill-informed friends and colleagues you're looking for!"
"It's pretty funny that you're calling Trump supporters such as myself simple minded idiots whatever terminology like to use at the same time knowing that if you we are trying to reach are the least informed so good luck with that!"
"I think you should take your socialist ideas and propaganda and move to a country that shares your socialistic ideas and see how good that works out for you! It sickens me that people like you exist on this planet let alone live in my country and badmouth our commander-in-chief!"
"I'm not really sure where you come up with this crap that you're trying to ensue on people but I applaud you for having the time to think up all of these lies that you were telling Young manipulable millennials."
"I also don't understand why you think spending taxpayers money on parties for gay people is justified. If they want to have parties and they should fundraiser."
"And your article you also wrote that we should all be upset the transgender people should all be allowed to have sex changes for free at the taxpayers expense!"
"The proof is in the numbers! And they are twice as high as your little lover boy Obama's!"

The biggest trucking organization in Mexico wants its government to pull out of the cross-border trucking pilot program with the United States.
Media reports have indicated that the Camera Nacional del Autotransporte de Carga – or Canacar as it is often called – fears American truckers will violate "cabotage" rules while in Mexico. Cabotage laws forbid hauling point-to-point within a country instead of just dropping off a load and picking up another one for the return trip.
The Associated Press reported Friday, Sept. 14, that Canacar President Tirso Martinez said the Mexican department of transportation does not have adequate personnel to enforce a provision "prohibiting U.S. truckers from carrying domestic Mexican cargo."
The group – which represents both carriers and drivers – also says the Mexican transportation department hasn't eliminated big traffic bottlenecks that prevent Mexican truckers from getting across the border quickly.
Meanwhile, the Arizona Republic newspaper reported that the first American truck to cross into Mexico under the program was expected to cross the border at Nogales Friday, Sept. 14, with a load of plastic resin bound for a plant in Sonora. Stagecoach Cartage and Distribution from El Paso, TX, was given approval to operate in Mexico last week.
Two Mexican trucks entered the U.S. last Friday, Sept. 7, after the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announced the opening of the cross-border trucking pilot program.

Joshua 24:1-3a, 14-25 / Matthew 25:1-13
The Rev. Leonard B. Oakes
November 9, 2014
In everything that we do in life, we make choices. Whether we prioritize to go to church or just stay in bed because there is a game or party we are preparing to attend on a Sunday. Whether we dress good for Church or only when we go for a wedding or a banquet. We make choices whether we sit with someone we haven't sat for a long time and share story, or just stay with the group whom we are comfortable sitting with. Whether we give and pledge for the programs of the Church or spend it somewhere else in the blink of an eye. It's all about choices. We need to set priorities
It was by choice that I chose to follow the voice of God when he called me to enter seminary in 1990, until I was ordained to the Diaconate in 1994 and eventually to the Priesthood in August of 1997. It was by choice that I left my full time Nursing career to serve full time with Holy Child and St. Martin 6 years ago in november of 2008. It was your choice to keep me in this Church that I made it thus far. But when we look from a wider and broader perspective view, God chooses us all to grow and flourish in this Church and this community. It will then be our choice if we let it die or we value the gift God has given us and endeavor to take care of it as good stewards of God and begin to enter into a new haven where God commanded life, even life forevermore.
Three years from now, we are being challenged to make choice whether we continue to be a comfortable Mission station or grow and explore possibilities of becoming a self supporting, self reliant, self governing and self sustaining parish. If I am to choose where HCSM should endeavor to travel, I would choose to explore new roads where no one or few have travelled, and start anew with fresh vision and mission.
In the Old Testament reading this morning, Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and summoned the elders, the heads, the judges, and the officers of Israel; and they presented themselves before God. Joshua said to the children of Israel, "Choose this day whom you will serve." The children of Israel were about to enter the Promised Land. This was a drastic change in their lives. They had spent 40 years wandering in the wilderness. They had lived in tents and were about to begin living in houses. Their entire way of life was about to undergo a drastic change.
That is so with us. When our lives change, choices have to be made. You know people are more likely to get involved meaningfully in a church when they have recently moved. Joshua knew this. Many of their ancestors had worshiped the gods in Egypt. They had worshipped the one true God in the wilderness. But the people of the land they were entering worshipped a whole different set of gods.
What would they worship: the gods from Egypt, the gods of the Canaanites, or the one true God? They needed to make an intentional decision. They would end up worshipping something. They needed to set their standards and priorities before circumstances pushed them into choices they would regret.
At the end of the reading we learn that they made the right choice. They said, "We will serve the Lord for he brought us out of slavery and cared for us in the wilderness." But this was a big choice. Did they really mean it? Were they taking this decision seriously or would they forget it when they settled down in a house and their neighbors were worshipping the gods of the land?
So Joshua forced the issue. He said "No, you can't be serious. God will take you seriously and there will be consequences if you go back on your word."
It is very important to understand that the decision to serve God is a serious one. If you decide to serve the Lord it will affect your whole life. It is not just a commitment to show up to church once in a while if it is convenient. It means that every day every action every moment is to be lived for the Lord. Sometimes that commitment can be inconvenient or even painful to live out. It means that you no longer belong to yourself, you belong to God!
Despite Joshua's protests the people insisted, "We will serve God." Joshua said "Mark your own words, and remember this choice." So Joshua made a covenant with the people to serve God and God alone. There on the verge of entering the Promised Land the people made a promise to themselves and God. They made the choice to serve God.
That is so with us. Choose this day whom you will serve. Will you serve the gods of this world: the gods of materialism and hatred? Or will you serve the one true God of the Universe who gave the only begotten Son for your liberation. You have to make a choice. Not choosing is itself a choice that will lead to some other god.
We are then challenged with the question, whom will you serve? This is a serious choice. It is not to be taken lightly. To follow Christ is not always a glorious experience, it may also shake the very foundation of your faith. But if you will only persevere, it will change your life. Everything you do, everything you say, will be for God.
Choose this day whom you will serve, as for me and my house we will serve the Lord!
Let me leave you thoughts to ponder as we begin to embrace change in the way we approach service and commitment:
First, I ask you to see things in the eyes of God. Let us see things at Holy Child and St. Martin where everything is possible with God. Trust in God who called us to be in this community for a reason. Be part of the volunteers in our Community Health Clinic. There is so much that we can do in this program such as marketing and letting the community know that we are here for them for free health services such as health education, Blood pressure and other vital sign monitoring, as well as referral program.
Be part of our Bread for the World and feeding the hungry ministries. We do this every monday from 7:30 am to 9 AM, then we continue with dance exercises until 10 am. This ministry is being led by Romy Mijares, Lois Downs and Sobrena Somebang who consistently come early to open the door or pick up the bread every Sunday Night. We have now extended our partnership with Panera bread of Millbrae to service Guadalupe Elementary School in the Excelsior district from the bread Kevin Haas pick up on Tuesday night. I got a report from Teacher Marcia Bowdish that 200 hundred families lined up at the first wednesday bread distribution in that school. Both Monday and Wednesday pick up at Panera Bread are done weekly.
Our youth are preparing to plunge themselves with preparing food and feeding Inn Vision Shelter residents in SSF in December. We will also be in partnership with Daly City Mental Health Clinic in their feeding program supported by the Rev. Dr. Lynn Bowdish.
Be part of ministries God blessed in this Church. The Altar guild led by Lydia Sawachi, Lois Downs and Eloise Milanes are gaining in membership, yet there's more to do other than setting the flowers, the altar, the pews, the oil and even ironing the linens and vestments. It will be easier if we all put our sleeves together. Our Building and grounds are visited by people everyday by just sitting at the benches or smiling at the beautiful lawn and flowers around. Our Junior Warden Bernard Dayrit is a man of few words but his actions speak a lot when much of our unforeseen building maintenance are taken cared by him unnoticed. Our men's group led by Fr. Jurek are gaining popularity as they take care of those stuff men of muscles can do such us cleaning up the storage room and preparing them for disaster or emergency purposes. Our seniors led by Maja Milanes, Marietta Flores and Rev. Dr. Lynn Bowdish continue with their bus excursions and arthritis exercises on Monday morning. Ruth Hoppin and Deacon Tricia Rosso are having a powerful educational Bible Study on Saturdays. Deacon Rebecca and our Sunday School Teachers Haidee Oakes and Mirella Pumacayo are having wonderful interactive Sunday School class. Today, we will be recognizing our acolytes and altar servers for their faithfulness in serving at the altar.
Our music ministry need more choir members. We are thankful to be able to incorporate all songs from cultural musics and generational music. However, we need to learn more new songs. With your commitment, we will be able to help our music director. I have asked the Rev. Dr. Lynn Bowdish and Sheri Rubi to chair the stewardship and fundraising committee to study and help boost our budget campaign for the ensuing year. There are many more ministries that you can possibly be part of, if you only see things in the eyes of God.
Lastly, in everything that we do, pray and be thankful. Whether our petitions are answered or being delayed, or not the way we wanted it, pray and be thankful. A lot of times we neglect to pray and be thankful. We are like that student who upon receiving his monthly allowance, he forgets everything and spend it lavishly. When it's gone, he asks for more without even thanking. In everything, give thanks.
It gives us honor to see some of our veterans in our midst today. Thank you for your service to our country and the world. Thank you for setting us an example worthy to emulate for the cause of freedom and democracy. We remember those who have gone before us, who fought for our freedom. We salute all the men and women in uniform. May God bless you and may God bless this country and all the country we represent.

CHICAGO — July 28, 2015 — From being dubbed the most self-absorbed generation ever and rejecting "traditional" life paths to being tethered to their mobile devices, there have been endless generalizations made about millennials. The latest research released by IRI™ examines the myths versus realities of millennials and finds not only that there are misconceptions, but also that millennials are in fact much more unique than first meets the eye. To truly grasp this diverse generation, IRI is categorizing millennials into six distinct segments summarized in the infographic "Rise of the Millennials." Marketers must thoroughly understand these characteristics to capture a piece of the nearly $290 billion millennials will spend on CPG products by 2020.
"At 79 million strong, the millennial generation has a tremendous amount of spending power that is growing rapidly," says Robert I. Tomei, president, Consumer & Shopper Marketing, IRI. "This is the largest generation of young people since the baby boomers, and IRI has studied millennials extensively to provide a comprehensive look at their personalities, values, basic beliefs and actual purchase behavior. Our segmentation allows marketers to better understand millennials, assess their current position and develop strategies and programs to more effectively target them. Marketers have a tremendous opportunity to capture growth by directly connecting with this increasingly important segment of the population. For instance, marketers can leverage a full understanding about millennials' needs to drive their product innovation strategy, improve the allocation of their media spend and enhance the alignment of their marketing and sales programs."
Myth Busters
To thoroughly understand millennials, one needs to first recognize that millennials are much more than the sum of their stereotypes. To have a better perspective on their attitudes, IRI uncovered the real truth behind the following top five myths:
The Six Unique Faces of Millennials
IRI research uncovered that millennials do not fall neatly into one bucket. Instead, the following six distinct segments were revealed:
"Millennials are the most racially diverse, highly educated generation in history," adds Tomei. "Their path to purchase isn't a straight line, so marketers need to keep this in mind and get creative. This means paying attention to their specific needs, ensuring they have the right product mix and customizing their media and messages to be relevant to those needs."

LIVE OAK — A new, family-owned Japanese-style restaurant is serving up traditional dishes on a hibachi grill along with a variety of sushi rolls.
Kobe Teppan & Sushi opened at 7824 Pat Booker Road in late April. The first location is in San Marcos.
The eatery features a hibachi, or a hot steel plate. Diners can choose from a selection of meats, seafood and sides such as fried rice. The meal is a culinary show prepared on the grill in front of hungry guests.
"It doesn't really get any fresher than that," said manager Andrew Chen.
To delight diners, chefs throw shrimp tails and catch them in their hats, as well as make onion "volcanoes" with steam.
Separate from the hibachi grill, the eatery also has a regular dining area serving an assortment of Asian dishes and sushi.
The Hurricane roll is one of the most popular items, according to Chen. It's a tempura-style roll filled with cream cheese, spicy tuna and avocado, topped with kani crab, drizzled with spicy mayo and eel sauce, and sprinkled with diced jalapeños.
"Even if people aren't … big sushi (eaters), we have a lot of rolls that are easy for people to begin with," Chen said.
A unique Kobe sushi roll is the Double J, a tempura-style offering with crab, cream cheese and avocado. A chef at the San Marcos eatery created it.
Kobe offers "endless sushi" similar to a buffet, but each roll is made-to-order. Customers can also indulge in appetizers, salads and other fare at a flat rate.
Hours are 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

What kind of progress in multiple sclerosis (MS) research can be expected in the next 10 years?
That's a question often on the minds of people with MS, researchers and donors to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.
"If the past decade is any measure, I think we can look forward to significant progress in understanding this complex disease and to better treatments for people who have MS," said Dr. William J. McIlroy, MS Society national medical advisor.
It was just seven years ago when the first treatment that actually had an effect on the course of MS came on the Canadian market. Now there are a total of four treatment choices – three beta interferon products (Avonex, Betaseron and Rebif) and a synthetic compound of amino acids (glatiramer acetate/ Copaxone). They all reduce the frequency and severity of MS attacks and may delay progression of disability over time.
In addition, a growing number of physicians are utilizing a chemotherapy drug called mitoxantrone (Novantrone) to slow down particularly aggressive MS.
"However, the search is still on for even better therapies. That's why the real hope is in laboratories in Canada and around the world, and why the MS Society directs a significant portion of donors' dollars to MS research," Dr. McIlroy said.
MS Society supported research involves four basic strategies.
The first approach is to find the cause of the disease using major developments in immunology, pathology, infectious disease and genetics.
"MS is a disease of the immune system. For reasons not yet understood, immune system cells start attacking myelin, the protective covering that surrounds nerve fibres, and damages nerve fibres as well," Dr. McIlroy explained.
About one-third of MS Society funded research projects are related to immune system research. One approach is that of Dr. Katerina Dorovini-Zis at the University of British Columbia who has developed an artificial model of the cellular barrier (blood-brain barrier) that normally keeps immune system cells out of the central nervous system.
She is focussing on the possibility that some cells in this important barrier actually activate T cells and stimulate them to enter the central nervous system and start attacking myelin.
Genetics is another key component in the search for the MS cause.
The MS Scientific Research Foundation, which is closely related to the MS Society, is funding a major examination of all facets of MS genetics. The study began in 1993 and now involves 18 MS clinics across Canada and 19,000 people with MS and their families.
"The project, led by Dr. Dessa Sadovnick at the University of British Columbia and Dr. George Ebers at the University of Oxford and the University of Western Ontario, has demonstrated that the cause of MS is complex and is influenced by a number of genes," said Dr. McIlroy.
The study has also uncovered 45 families in Canada, which have four or more MS affected individuals. In these families, a single gene seems to play a big role.
But genetics is not the entire answer. Environmental factors are also important and act at a population level to influence whether someone who is genetically susceptible will develop MS.
The second approach is to monitor disease development in MS by brain imaging. In this area Canadians are recognized leaders.
Dr. Don Paty at the University of British Columbia was one of the first MS investigators to realize in the 1980s that MRI, then a brand new diagnostic tool, probably had even greater potential to provide a window into the brain to see how MS develops.
"MS is not a static disease. Contrary to the belief just 25 years ago, there can be spontaneous myelin repair. MRI coupled with pathological techniques allowing researchers to better understand this process, to monitor the effects of therapy and to grasp the fundamentals of MS," Dr. McIlroy said.
The quest to find better therapies is ever present in all MS research. About half of all MS Society supported research projects are directed at trying to protect myelin or to stimulate its regrowth and repair.
Three researchers at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto are approaching this problem in separate ways.
Dr. Joan Boggs is examining how major myelin proteins and a group of lipids (fats) work together to carry signals that keep myelin healthy. She has created model membranes that should help her determine which proteins and lipids interact and how they transmit the needed signals for myelination.
Drs. Mario Moscarello and Fabrizio Mastronardi are testing in animal models whether Vitamin B12 can boost myelin repair, especially in combination with other therapies.
Myelin repair using adult stem cells is the focus of a large collaborative study involvig researchers at the University of Toronto McGill University, the University of Rochester, University of Calgary and the Mayo Clinic. Now at the animal model stage, the investigators hope to find ways to turn the body's own stem cells into a cellular repair team that could lead to extensive re-myelination.
The fourth approach is to take advantage of clinical trial advances. "Canada is well placed to provide leadership in this area. There are more than 20 MS clinics across the country providing specialized MS care and contributing to research. All the recent major MS therapeutic studies had significant input from Canadian clinics," said Dr. McIlroy.
"Here in Toronto, the MS population is well served by MS Clinics at St. Michael's Hospital, Sunnybrook Hospital and the world's first pediatric MS Clinic at the Hospital for Sick Children.
"My view for the future of MS research is optimistic. While no one can predict when scientific advances will occur, I am confident that MS research will lead to more effective treatments, ways to prevent MS and ultimately, a cure," Dr. McIlroy concluded.

Center for the Theater of the Oppressed (CTO) began in 1986 as a center for research and dissemination, developing a specific methodology of Theater of the Oppressed (TO) in workshops and seminars of a permanent nature for review, testing, analysis and systematization of exercises, games and theatrical techniques. From the workshops and seminars emerge projects of a socio-cultural, theatrical and artistic nature, taking the aesthetics of the oppressed as the basis.
The philosophy and actions of this institution are dedicated to the democratization of the means of cultural production, facilitating the intellectual expansion of its participants, as well as spreading TO as a means of enabling and strengthening democratic citizenship. CTO implements projects that stimulate the active participation of oppressed strata of society, and aim to transform reality through dialog and by means of the aesthetic.
In this way the center of Theater of the Oppressed develops projects in the area of education, mental health, prison system, culture, social movements, communities, among others. On account of its nature humanities and the potential of Theater of the Oppressed, is active in the whole of Brazil and in countries such as Mozambique, Guinea Bissau, Angola and Senegal.
Organizational Profile
Mission: To promote the strengthening of citizenship and social justice through the Theater of the Oppressed, as a means of democracy in transforming society.
Vision: We seek to ensure that the oppressed classes and those marginalized from society become the producers of their own art and protagonists of their lives.
We are lovers of life. This love impels us to develop our work in struggling for respect of diversity. We value life in all of its forms, seeking the balance of human action with nature.
We believe that no quest is fair or honest if performed without ethics. It is here that we base our way of working.
We have a commitment and ethical obligation to the oppressed. Solidarity is the strength of the method. When we partner with a cause, we are supporting and co-responsible for it.
The human capacity to invent, imagine and transform through art is infinite, which helps us rediscover and recover the strength to fight.
We believe in dialogue as a means in the pursuit of peace. We want a peaceful world, but never a passive world.

An angle grinder is a hand held power-tool originally intended to grind metal. The most common use is to grind welds and smooth cut metal surfaces.
Fitted with a variety of implements, the angle grinder can be used to cut tile, pavers and can remove paint and rust.
Angle grinders have an electric motor that powers a rotating spindle. A wheel is attached to the spindle and secured in place with a spindle nut.
Wheel Sizes
The most popular wheel sizes are 4 inch as well as 4 1/2 inch. Other wheel (disc) sizes can range up to 12 inches.
Angle grinders can be fitted with grinding stones, wire brushes, sanding disc and polishing pads, depending on the task it is to perform.
Angle grinders can be dangerous if not used properly. Proper personal protective equipment should be used at all times, including gloves and eye protection.

Well, I should have insisted a little more urgently that we find a different way to get down the slope. He told me to get on the back of the sled. "Okay, but how am I supposed to stay on the back of the sled," I questioned. His reply was something like, "Just hold on to Vance." Right. It was a fun trip for about five seconds, and then, we came to a place where we could either go down the gently inclined path to the right or veer off on the death slide to the left. The ice directed us to the left. Tevye started shouting in a panicky tone, "Don't let us go to the left! Don't let us go to the left!"
I bet you can guess which way we ended up going. When I saw the path ahead, I realized that I could not control any part of this journey and just hoped that we would land with minimal damage. I was bounced off after the first of three mini ski-jump-like bumps. I sounded like Homer Simpson falling into a canyon, "Doh! Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark!" Vance fell off at the second bump and bruised his cheek, and Tevye and Caden made it to the bottom. Needless to say, as the crowd around us stood staring, I felt like a terrible mother. They were probably thinking, "Those idiot parents! How could they put their kids in such a dangerous situation!"
I am very grateful to Heavenly Father for keeping us safe. We had prayed that morning that we would have a fun time and get home safely, and thankfully, that is exactly what happened.
In the car on the way home, Tevye said that he was going to throw himself off the sled in order to push us down the safe path, but then we wouldn't have had anyone to stop the sled. He then looked at me and said jokingly (I think), "You should have sacrificed yourself, Babe."

Meadow and prairie voles are two very similar rodent species that have a key difference in their social structure. Prairie voles are socially monogamous and live in small groups all year long. Meadow voles are socially promiscuous, have multiple mates and only live in groups during the winter months. In tests of preference for familiar and unfamiliar conspecifics, both prairie voles and meadow voles will huddle with a partner over a stranger. Do these voles simply gravitate toward the familiar and away from a potentially threatening stranger, or is there an underlying reward to spending time with their partner? Two studies were developed to answer this question from different angles. In the first study, female peers were conditioned to prefer a location based on an association with their peer. Paired t-tests were used within groups to determine if subjects were conditioned to the testing paradigm and between groups to compare meadow vole affiliation to prairie vole affiliation. Meadow voles significantly preferred the nonsocial bedding in the post-test and prairie voles did not condition for peers. The second study used operant conditioning in order to assess whether voles were motivated to access peers or mates. Operant conditioning assigns a numeric value to reward making it possible to quantify. Subjects were taught to lever press in order to gain access to a mate or peer and the number of times they pressed the lever signified their level of motivation. Preliminary analysis demonstrates trends, however greater numbers of subjects will be needed for statistical validity. Overall trends suggest that pressing for a mate may be more rewarding than pressing for a peer.

text: Nice to see that all of New York's newspapers have finally joined the crusade to save New York's venerable Central Park carriage horses. Though some only started paying attention once public opinion swung against newish Mayor Bill DeBlasio, one, the New York Post, has been on the side of the horses and those who love them all along. As Linda Stasi noted in yesterday's Daily News, I started beating the pro-carriage horse drum here back in 2009, with my post, "It's Parkingtown, Jake," which revealed that a founder of the group agitating against the horses had broadly hinted that its real agenda was real estate, a special interest of this blog–original reporting that has been repeated frequently (and frequently without credit). I followed up with a column in a weekly publication that drew a howl of protest from one of prime movers behind the ludicrous suggestion that the horses be replaced with Disney-like faux antique cars. Suffice to say, the more (pro-horse protests) the merrier. Let's put stables back in Central Park, keep the horse carriages there as well, and put an end to demagoguery that makes New York look like Orlando. UPDATE: The Daily News reveals that the FBI is investigating threats made against former Mayoral candidate Christine Quinn by the anti-horse carriage group, and asks its readers to sign a petition to save the carriages.

Make Sonic R what it Should Have Been.
This petition had 637 supporters
Hello everyone, and thank you for reading this petition.
My Name Is Clifford, and i am a profound fan of SEGA and The many games and consoles they have made over the last few years, Including classics like Sonic The Hedgehog. The 'Blue Blur' Has made a great name for himself over the years, being the star in many games, a few t.v. shows, and multiple comic series. Sonic has been a Legend in the eyes of many people for years, including people who don't like the SEGA brand. due to his success, Sonic has become a Great Staple in the History of Gaming, Rivaling the Likes of Mario, Who had been Uncontested for the decades Prior. That aside, Sonic has has many games, some gems, some not-so-shiny Rocks, and Many good games between, and There is one that particularly stood out to me- Sonic R. Sonic R was not praised by most as a Great Game, or at least it wasn't until more recently, but it was a great step for sonic into the 3D Era, and all together, it was a great game. The steering was harsh, sure and the game was hard, but the game was still fun for most, and the concept of Sonic, the Fastest thing alive in a racing game fits wonderfully. The music was good too, though some of it did not fit the 'Sonic' Vibe that gamer's for the most part expected. Anyways, besides this critique, the game was great, but still the game could have been better, and expanded upon in a sequel or remake in the future. Unfortunately, instead came Sonic Racing Transformed, which, Yes i know, many people like, but personally, i, and i'm sure others, felt like this game derived from the influential thing about sonic- He Is the fastest thing alive, willing to do anything to stop egg-man and save his friends, and most importantly HE WOULD NOT RIDE IN A CAR. Sorry, but that just irks me, that SONIC would be put in a car, when he most likely could run faster anyway. It Kills me, and i am sure i'm not the only one.
Well, Here's what i present: an idea, that if you accept(SEGA), will prove to be a great game, and a True Sonic Racing game. I suggest a remake of Sonic R, in which the Characters all Actually run in open world stages, like in the Original Sonic R, But with improved controls, and even a main plot added to give the game depth. The game doesn't have to copy Mario-cart and change a few things to be successful. If you do this SEGA, You Will have not only made a Great Sonic game, AND a Great Racing game, But you would have made one like none-else - An open-world racing game involving sonic, with a plot, Which is Uncommon for Games that are Not Primarily Racing to start with- It would be the one of the first steps, with your current efforts, toward making sonic amazing again, and Bring a Great idea the Game it utterly Deserves.
And after all of this, thank you all for listening.
And thank you SEGA, For your hard work.

The Bondage of Sin
Sin is not fully understood by most, even those who profess Christ do not thoroughly understand this deadly poison. It is the bondage to sin that keeps sinners from being able to simply choose to believe in and follow Jesus Christ.
The Apostle Peter exposed Simon the sorcerer for what he really was, even though he claimed to believe and was baptized {Acts 8:13}. How many today profess, as Simon did, to believe and undergo baptism and yet are in the gall of bitterness and the bondage of iniquity? Countless sinners are on the broad road and yet insist they are saved simply because they repeat prayers or follow the 'Roman road', or countless other methods of salvation. They continue on day in and day out sinning against God and never come under conviction to the point of repentance. A broken and contrite heart is a heart that sees its own vileness, this is the one who has been set free from the power of sin. Those who continue in willful rebellion against God will face His wrath. I am not speaking of sinless perfection, no one will attain sinless perfection this side of heaven. We are commanded to strive for holiness and to kill sin, those who have been born again will do just that.
Peter knew Simon was still in bondage to sin because he'd tried to buy the authority to lay hands on people. Simon wanted this supernatural power and he was willing to pay for it. He was not born again, for if he had been, he would have known his money was useless and he would not have desired wrongly for such power. Simon desired to rob God of glory by attempting to purchase a supernatural power only God possesses. Perhaps he wanted such power to further enhance his sorceries, this is merely speculation on my part.
Peter points to Simon's ignorance in Acts 8:20, 'But Peter said to him, "May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!' Salvation is not attainable by any human effort, you cannot buy it, earn it, or obtain it by any work; it is a gift given by God to those He chooses.
Peter exclaims 'you are in the gall of bitterness', meaning what? John Gill explains in his commentary, "Alluding to Deu_29:18 with which compare Heb_12:15 and signifying, that he was in a state of nature and unregeneracy; under the power and dominion of covetousness, ambition, and hypocrisy; and in a way pernicious to himself, infectious to others, and ungrateful to God, and to good men; and that instead of the root of the matter, the truth of grace being in him, there was nothing in him but the bitter root of sin; which bore gall and wormwood, and everything that was nauseous and disagreeable."
Gall is likened to poison, it is defined as 'bile, wormwood - which means bitterness and is associated with curses and poison. To put it simply, it is deadly. What kind of deadly poison filled Simon? A bitterness, an extreme wickedness; this is how sin is defined by God. Bitterness is from the Greek word πικρία and is translated pikria, meaning 'acridity' {sharp, bitter to the taste or smell}. Pikria comes from the root word pikros meaning 'piercing, sharp, pungent, bitter'. Sin pierces, it is bitter, foul, drank down by all like water without understanding the horrible 'aftertaste', the results it brings: it poisons from the inside out.
Matthew Henry rightly says this concerning the 'gall of bitterness', "Now the character here given of Simon is really the character of all wicked people. First, They are in the gall of bitterness—odious to God, as that which is bitter as gall is to us. Sin is an abominable thing, which the Lord hates, and sinners are by it made abominable to him; they are vicious in their own nature. Indwelling sin is a root of bitterness, that bears gall and wormwood, Deu. 29:18. The faculties are corrupted, and the mind embittered against all good, Heb. 12:15. It intimates likewise the pernicious consequences of sin; the end is bitter as wormwood."
Peter goes on to say 'in the bondage of sin'. He knew from Simon's foolish actions that he was still unregenerate, now he points to Simon's bondage, which is why he attempted to buy the Holy Spirit.
Bondage is from the Greek word σύνδεσμος and is translated sundesmos. This word is defined as a union, a bond, that which binds together. Sundesmos is made up from two words, sun - denoting union with or together- and desmon desmos - shackled, chain, prisoner. This describes sin's grip of death and its hold on every sinner ever born. We are shackled to sin, chained to it with no humanly possible way of breaking free. The evidence of this is seen in our thoughts, actions, words, motives, feelings, and understanding. There is not a part of us that is not tainted by sin and imprisoned to it. To understand this is to cherish what the Lord Jesus Christ has done for those who believe on the cross.
For more on the bondage of sin, we turn once again to John Gill's excellent commentary, " referring to Pro_5:22 and suggesting, that he was held fast bound in the bonds of sin, and with the cords of iniquity, or was entirely under the government of his lusts: the preposition εις, which we render "in", may retain here, as is by some observed, its proper sense of "for", or "into"; and have the same signification it has in Heb_1:5 "I will be to him for a father", or "a father", and "he shall be to me for a son", or "a son": and then the sense of Peter is, I plainly perceive and clearly see by thy words and actions, that thou art nothing else but a lump of bitter gall, and a bundle of sin and wickedness."
Sinners will never see the beauty of the cross if they are not told of their own vileness and their inability to free themselves from sin. They need to be told of their status before a holy God; we are all wicked and unclean, despised, repulsive, utterly disgusting and profane before a God who is holy, pure, undefiled, set apart. The Lord Jesus Christ took the wrath of God upon Himself when He bore the sins of His people in His own flesh, when He gave Himself, even unto death, so that God the Father would be appeased. He was sinless, holy, the perfect sacrifice for sin; we could never appease God's hatred of our filth. The fact that God slaughtered His own Son should terrify those who continue on in sin, for if God did so to His own Son, what will He do to rebellious sinners who hear this news of Christ's sacrifice and their hopeless condition and yet continue on in sin? May sinners cry out for mercy, may the bondage to sin be broken through the Lord Jesus Christ...may God be gracious to rebellious, wicked sinners who love sin, who cling to sin, and have no power over it. Sin controls all and takes many an unsuspecting soul to Hades each day; sin will definitely take you farther than you want to go and in the end, you will be destroyed by it and because of it. God desires mercy, it pleases Him to save those who cry out to Him for mercy.

Will you betray the Son of man with a kiss?
"Betrayest thou the Son of Man with a kiss?"—Luke 22:48.
HE kisses of an enemy are deceitful." Let me be on my guard when the world puts on a loving face, for it will, if possible, betray me as it did my Master, with a kiss. Whenever a man is about to stab religion, he usually professes very great reverence for it. Let me beware of the sleek-faced hypocrisy which is armour-bearer to heresy and infidelity. Knowing the deceivableness of unrighteousness, let me be wise as a serpent to detect and avoid the designs of the enemy. The young man, void of understanding, was led astray by the kiss of the strange woman: may my soul be so graciously instructed all this day, that "the much fair speech" of the world may have no effect upon me. Holy Spirit, let me not, a poor frail son of man, be betrayed with a kiss!
But what if I should be guilty of the same accursed sin as Judas, that son of perdition? I have been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus; I am a member of His visible Church; I sit at the communion table: all these are so many kisses of my lips. Am I sincere in them? If not, I am a base traitor. Do I live in the world as carelessly as others do, and yet make a profession of being a follower of Jesus? Then I must expose religion to ridicule, and lead men to speak evil of the holy name by which I am called. Surely if I act thus inconsistently I am a Judas, and it were better for me that I had never been born. Dare I hope that I am clear in this matter? Then, O Lord, keep me so. O Lord, make me sincere and true. Preserve me from every false way. Never let me betray my Saviour. I do love Thee, Jesus, and though I often grieve Thee, yet I would desire to abide faithful even unto death. O God, forbid that I should be a high-soaring professor, and then fall at last into the lake of fire, because I betrayed my Master with a kiss.

Does God desire all men to be saved?
'who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.' - 1 Timothy 2:4
You have to break down the verse to get the actual meaning of the text, so we will. 'Who desires', defined by Thayer as 'to will, to purpose'. Strong's defines 'desires' as 'to determine', Mounce's Complete Expository Dictionary defines it as 'to will'. Was there ever a time in the Bible when God willed something and it did not come to pass? Why is it if God wills all men to be saved they aren't? Has God failed, is He not sovereign, is His power not enough to save all of men? God is sovereign, His power is beyond human comprehension; God could save everyone who ever lived if that were His will, but we know that's not the case.
Next it says 'all men'; Thayer's defines 'all' as 'some of all types', Strong's definition states 'as many as' and Mounce's Dictionary states this about 'pas' {the Greek word for all} 'pas generally means 'each, every' in the singular, 'all' in the plural. For example, in 1 Cor. 15:22 Paul writes, for as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive'. His emphasis here is on two 'all' groups, the all group that dies because of Adam's sin {i.e., every single human being} and the all group that lives in Christ {i.e., those who believe in Him}.'- Mounce's Dictionary pg. 13
The definition found in Thayer's most accurately describes the content of this verse, which we will see more clearly when we get to commentary from John Gill.
The word 'all' does not mean everyone every time we see it in Scripture, as was pointed out in Mounce's dictionary. Another example is found in Matthew 28:19, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit". Did the Lord mean that every person from every nation should be discipled and baptized? Of course not, the Bible teaches that the broad way is wide and many are on it, which proves that all does not mean every person who ever lived.
This is commentary from John Gill concerning 'all men'-
" hence by all men, whom God would have saved, cannot be meant every individual of mankind, since it is not his will that all men, in this large sense, should be saved, unless there are two contrary wills in God; for there are some who were before ordained by him unto condemnation, and are vessels of wrath fitted for destruction; and it is his will concerning some, that they should believe a lie, that they all might be damned; nor is it fact that all are saved, as they would be, if it was his will they should; for who hath resisted his will? but there is a world of ungodly men that will be condemned, and who will go into everlasting punishment: rather therefore all sorts of men, agreeably to the use of the phrase in 1Ti_2:1 are here intended, kings and peasants, rich and poor, bond and free, male and female, young and old, greater and lesser sinners; and therefore all are to be prayed for, even all sorts of men, because God will have all men, or all sorts of men, saved".
God wills that sinners from all walks of life and every part of the globe be saved {not every person whose ever lived} - this is the 'all men' Paul was referring to in the text.
I need to add what I discovered when reading Revelation 5:9, 'And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.' The word 'every' in this verse is the same Greek word found in 1 Timothy 2:4 - 'pas'. This describes who God saves - men from all/every tribe {race, clan, kindred}, tongue {the language or dialect used by a particular people distinct from that of other nations}, people and nation {a multitude of individuals of the same nature or genus}. This shows us more clearly who God saves; sinners from all parts of the globe and all walks of life, which is what the Apostle Paul states in 1 Timothy 2:4 when he used the same Greek verb, 'pas', saying God saves 'some of all types'.
A right understanding of man's total depravity opens up a right understanding of the doctrines of grace, which includes the doctrine of election.

The Praying Calvinist
and faith is a gift from on high
I'll boast in my Savior, all merit decline,
and glorify God 'til I die"
{pg. 179 'the doctrines of grace'}
*One way true Calvinists demonstrate the complete dependence of a submissive will is by making a commitment to the life of prayer. Prayer is not a way of getting God to do what we want him to do, rather, it is a way of submitting to God's will in all things. True prayer is prostration before the sovereignty of God, and Calvinism simply maintains this posture all through life. From B.B. Warfield, "The Calvinist is the man who is determined to preserve the attitude he takes in prayer in all his thinking, in all his feeling, in all his doing...other men are Calvinists on their knees; the Calvinist is the man who is determined that his intellect and heart and will shall remain on their knees continually, and only from this attitude think and feel and act".
*pg. 190-191 of Dr. Boice's book 'The Doctrines of Grace'

If Sinners could, they would hurl God from His throne
(Henry Law, "Forgiveness of Sins" 1875)
"The carnal mind is enmity against God!"
Romans 8:7
If the sinner's power were equal to his will--
he would invade the heaven of heavens, and
hurl God from His throne! Man's secret
chambers of imagination swarm with
thoughts tainted with dislike of . . .
His name,
His nature,
His perfections,
His cause,
His people,
His Word,
His scepter,
His kingdom,
His Christ.
Sin has strong inclinations, and they all
are arrayed against God's righteous ways.
Sin has an ungodly bias towards the
abominable things which God hates!
"The carnal mind is enmity against God!"

Meet Our Newest Developer Brooker
September 22, 2016
We recently welcomed RIT graduate Nate "Brooker" Perry to our development team. Brooker's already proving to be a valuable addition supporting the rest of the team on custom web development projects for companies like Pro-Cut, Vipeline, EyeSave, and MWI.
Since you'll be working with Brooker and hearing from him on the blog, we thought we'd take some time to introduce you so you can get to know him too!
When you graduated, you had several offers, why did you choose GeekHive?
The atmosphere and attitude. It's fun here, not super corporate and I really like my co-workers. It's nice to be able to hunker down and focus but also laugh and enjoy your time at work. I also like that I'm not stuck in a cube, it's open floor plan, and you don't get lost or feel like just another number here.
Why did you choose to pursue web development for your profession?
My dad got me interested in programming in general, he's a graphics programmer for Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs. Growing up, I was big into video games and thought I might want to be a game developer, but after trying it out I realized I didn't really like it.
In high school, I took 2 programming classes that taught me c and c++ but lacked real world application. In college, I gained real world experience through my software engineering classes and internships.
During my internship with Carrier I learned a lot of internal tools through doing web based implementations. My mentor taught me basics for web development standards used for automated processes and I kept going from there.
Tip for Aspiring Developers: I choose Software Engineering instead of Computer Science as a major because of the focus on real-world application of the principles learned.
What did you do before this?
I helped design Carrier's sales software in an internationally collaborative joint effort with someone from Ireland and someone from India. I was helping with the design stages (planning) when I left.
Advice to other people who want to get involved in the technology industry:
Find something that interests you outside of development and build off of that. You want to pick something you can relate to so you learn real world application, not just the technical side of things. If you pick something that interests you, it's an extra motivator.
For example, when I was in video game club we needed a website or web app that would allow people coming to the events to see a schedule, sign up for events, and facilitate giveaways to attendees. We ended up starting to develop an app that is still in the works. I was one of the first to start the process, outside the realm of my academics.
What is your "sweet spot" at work?
Web app development, C#, and Java Script. I like working with front-end frameworks like angularJS and developing web APIs to work with these front-end frameworks.
3 Fun facts about Brooker:
- As head of the video game club in college, I was in charge of running 36 hour LAN parties.
- I like to play soccer.
- I founded a rocket club in high school (no we didn't start any fires!).
What makes you a geek?
I've run 36 hour LAN parties and program and play video games for fun in my downtime. I like working on side projects and experimenting with new programming methods that set me ahead of the curve to apply them during the working hours.
Favorite video game:
The Witcher 3
Describe your style:
Hoodies for days.
Best advice you've ever been given:
Dress for the job you want, not the one you have. (Oh the irony is not lost on us.)
What challenges have you faced since starting to work at GeekHive?
Learning Jira and time tracking and working with agencies instead of direct to client.
What advice do you have for others who may be interested in working at GeekHive?
Find something that you like, and make something out of it. Demonstrate what you did in your interview to show that you have the experience, drive, personality, and skills to work here. For many of the people at GeekHive, this isn't just a job, so having something you find pride in to show your passion goes a long way.
Thanks Brooker! Interested in meeting the rest of our team? Check out our people page.
Stay up to date with our email updates!

when Subtlety meets Simplicity
"Is it too early?
No by all means , please come in. "
I always had gay friends , even in my Uni years, some Arts students used to come and have turkish coffee with me and my flat mates in our 4′th floor rented apartment in this harbour-city called Constanta by the Black Sea. They used to ask me to pose for their sketches saying that i have peaceful shapes (whatever that means in artistic terms )and if they were women they would have loved to look like me . That made me burst into loud laughter almost every time and made a shy, distrustful of compliments girl such as myself shade away for the rest of the day..
A short while ago, i walked into a small perfume shop on a small street in Bugis area Singapore. I had been there once previously to show it to a friend and help him choose a perfume for his sister. The place looked so chic and it was so lovely decorated that i had to go back. Not to mention the prices were some 20% less than duty free to some products. So there i was, 10 am and this nicely pinned up guy was casually passing a broom over the " welcome door mat".
"Is it too early?
No, by all means , please come in. " He lets me in and his partner takes over.
"Good morning , please take a look at the newcomers."
"Thank you, but i believe i already know what i want…"
"Hmm.. let me see : the Prada was it?"
"Yes.. but how did you remember? I came here some 3 months ago.."
"Not a lot of people like this one. Prada issued the ones in this collection one after the other 2009-2011 and only a special kind o people like this one in particular…I myself.. consider it one of the best among the fragrances for women"
"I remember. You told me that the first time, but i thought you were just joking or trying to sell it to me.. i said smiling shrewdly.."
The guy answered with a shy smile instead.He said:
" No, you're already sold to this perfume. I remember last time you bought the white rose Chloe..because you wanted a cheaper day time perfume for this type of hot- humid weather we have here and that would still suit you personality.You do not like sweet berry or vanilla notes.."
"Wow! you remember all that?? i said, stupidly forgetting my mouth open…
"Yes, i remember. We have a lot of girl friends coming here to buy or try what's new, but it's not every day we have a lady entering our little shop."
At that point i finally closed my mouth and lowered my eyes. i believe i smiled a bit too..is it that i still do not know how to take a compliment ??
Luckily the guy continues and in the same perfectly courteous tone of voice he tells me that he invited me to check out the newcomers first, because he had just received the entire aqua di Parma collection and the Colonia perfume has the same subtle notes as Infusion d'iris." You like this subtle tones, he added .
Not everyone perceives them and therefore not so many buy it because they like it. Most buy it because they follow the reviews the Master Perfumers give in magazines. Which is also good- for the business i mean, but you are one of those rare customers who simply like them because they suite you. So is life, the good ones come together effortlessly. Just try these and tell me honestly what you think. And also the Lanvin over there. I only have one powdery perfume today, might be too sweet because of the peonies and the Cuir de Russie by Chanel could be nice. Let me know if these pretty much cover what you like."
…Did you ever have those moments in life when as a woman you felt that you're not enough in touch with your feminine side…? this was one of them for me. Plus, that day,i was carrying in my handbag a pocket size Lanvin perfume -almost empty. And at home i had a newly purchased Chanel…could he possibly have such a good nose and smell those perfumes on me?? Freaky and nice…i thought..I took my time and tested the perfumes he indicated not saying one word. just smiling.loved every fragrance… In the end i picked up the perfume bottle i went in for . " Thank you, this was a lovely experience. I learned a lot today, not only about perfume."
He smiled: " You are a very special person , i can see that . I do not know what makes you so fascinating …and your mysterious smile.. I have found my better half years ago he continued extending his hand to his partner so please do not feel shy or anything. we just love beauty.
"One more compliment and i would have dismissed him, maybe too rudely for the beautiful compliments. Thank you, i am too flattered; i said as i reached for the wallet. He calmly wrapped the perfume bottle and added a few samples . 3 or 4.
"Do come back when you have the time, we can all have coffee next door. It's good and i know the owner. She's an Australian friend of mine and she's also very artistic.
Again i shook my head to wake up. Why would he speak like he knows me ? What made him believe i was artistic? -was it my attire? i was wearing a simple white top and a long skirt and cheap shoes…and what if i was a tea person, not a coffee junkie…??!
i laughed and felt like giving him a hug. I did not. I extended my hand instead thanking him.
He kept my hand in his both hands saying goodbye and his partner waved graciously.
Is it just me, or was this a bit too much flattering? I did tell them i was buying anyway..Naaah, there are nice people in the world..trust that…trust that…trust. I was satisfied with my purchase and i only saw the small gift bag when at home: it spelled Simplicity on the side ,white on black as the name of the shop. On the other side instead, he crossed out with a silver marker the word
Simplicity and in a beautiful handwriting he wrote: Subtlety…

This Atari game is emulated by JavaScript only. If you prefere to use Java applet emulator, please follow this link.
Unfortunately, this game is currently available only in this version. Be patient :-)
File size:
Game size:
Stampede is a video game cartridge which was released in 1981 for the Atari 2600 video game console, and the Intellivision video game console in 1982. The game is a left-to-right side-scroller with an overhead, third-person view. It was published by Activision.
An Activision catalog from 1982 advertised Stampede in the following way:
'Ready for a little round up? With Stampede by Activision, you'll have to ride fast and rope even faster. Those little dogies seem to be everywhere, and they're all worth points. But, be careful! Your ol' horse can get a little edgy, especially when you take your eyes off the trail. So, head out West for hours of fun with Stampede!'
The objective of Stampede is to round up all of the cattle you encounter. To do so, the player must lasso each one in order to capture it. The player is initially only allowed to let two cattle pass; if a third one slips by, the game is over.
An important caveat to this is that the player gets one extra free pass for every 1,000 points scored. So, if a player were at 2,000 points and had not yet let any cattle pass, then he or she would be allowed to let four cattle pass before the fifth one ended the game (assuming he or she did not reach 3,000).
This makes it possible for an expert player to repeatedly beat the game—as after about 5,000 points or so the game essentially 'resets,' and the same pattern is repeated. According to David Yancey, there is a bug which makes it so that the game will typically only allow you to play in a loop for 8 play throughs; apparently, however, there is a version of the game with a different binary which allows one to continue to accrue points until the score 99,999 is reached.
More details about this game can be found on
The newest version of this game can be purchased on
You can control this game easily by using the keyboard of your PC (see the table next to the game). However, for maximum gaming enjoyment, we strongly recommend using a USB joystick that you simply plug into the USB port of your computer. If you do not have a joystick, buy a suitable USB controller in Amazon or in some of your favorite online stores.
3 different online emulators are available for Stampede. These emulators differ not only in the technology they use to emulate old games, but also in support of various game controllers, multiplayer mode, mobile phone touchscreen, emulation speed, absence or presence of embedded ads and in many other parameters. For
maximum gaming enjoyment, it's important to choose the right emulator, because on each PC and in different Internet browsers, the individual emulators behave differently. The basic
features of each emulator available for this game Stampede are summarized in the following table:

BERLIN (Reuters) - Following is a list of European fighter jet competitions and which companies are bidding for the work or have won contracts in recent weeks:
Belgium has chosen Lockheed Martin's (LMT.N) F-35 stealth jets over the Eurofighter Typhoon to replace its aging F-16s, the government said on Thursday, in a move that cements the U.S.-made war plane's position in Europe.
The Belgian contract for 34 new F-35 fighter jets, with first deliveries in 2023, is worth just under 3 billion euros ($3.42 billion).
The Eurofighter Typhoon is a joint project between Britain's BAE Systems (BAES.L), Airbus (AIR.PA) and Italy's Leonardo (LDOF.MI).
Bulgaria wants to buy 8 new or used fighter jets to replace its aging Soviet-designed MiG-29s in a tender valued at 1.8 billion levs ($1.06 billion) to help the country meet its obligations as a member of NATO, which it joined in 2004.
The United States, Sweden and Italy have submitted bids, with the United States offering two options: either new Lockheed F-16V jets or new Boeing (BA.N) F/A-18E/F Super Hornets. Sweden offered new Saab (SAABb.ST) Gripen jets, while Italy proposed supplying second-hand Eurofighters.
Finland is seeking bids to replace its aging fleet of 62 F/A-18 Hornet jets, which are due to be phased out from 2025, in a deal expected to cost up to 10 billion euros ($11.47 billion).
Possible candidates include Saab's Gripen, the Rafale built by France's Dassault Aviation (AVMD.PA), Boeing's Super Hornet, Lockheed Martin's F-35 and the Eurofighter.
Bids are due by early 2019, and Finland plans to make a final decision in 2021.
Germany wants to buy up to 90 new multi-role fighter jets to replace its aging fleet of 85 operational Tornado fighters.
Possible candidates include the Lockheed F-35, the Boeing F/A-18E/F and Boeing's F-15E fighter, as well as the Eurofighter, with deliveries to start in 2025 or sooner.
Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen has said she favors the Eurofighter, but Lockheed and Boeing still hope for a chance to bid for the work.
Germany is studying a number of options, including buying one type of jet to replace the Tornado jets, a split buy of two aircraft types, or a service life extension of the Tornado jets, according to sources familiar with the process.
Poland has a fleet of 48 Lockheed F-16 fighter jets but is expected to move toward replacing its 30 Soviet-era MiG 29s in coming years. No details have been released.
Slovakia said in July it had agreed to spend $1.9 billion to buy 14 Lockheed F-16 fighter jets to replace its aging Russian-made MiG-29s, opting for the U.S. warplanes instead of Swedish Gripen jets produced by Saab.
Switzerland has chosen a novel approach to replace its aging fleet of F-5 fighter jets and older model F/A-18 fighters, and buy new ground-based air defenses in a combined competition worth up to 8 billion Swiss francs. The country invited five European and U.S. weapons makers to submit bids for 30 to 40 planes by January.
($1 = 1.7045 leva)
($1 = 0.8761 euros)
