I once had a recurring nightmare which involved an allusive and sinister ye olde alchemist/serial killer who, using arcane methods, bottled his victims' insanity in a bottle and sold it to me. Upon opening the bottle, which was supposed to be a potion of flight, I was subjected to a world of utter madness comparable to being at a black metal disco with Tim Burton and Vincent Van Gough. The reason I have mentioned this rather bizarre insight into my psyche is because it turns out the alchemist actually exists, in the form of a band with a name lifted directly from an old ones' scrabble game. Stalaggh are a black metal/ industrial/ noise band known for their avant-garde techniques, albeit avant-garde in the same way that mass murder can technically be called therapy because it quells the dark voices.
The name is actually derived from the German term for P.O.W camps – Stalag or Mannschaftsstamm- und Straflager to put it in full for all you lovers of Mary Poppins type words. The suffix GH or Global Holocaust (just because referencing camps of organized death isn't provocative enough) is added to form their name, Stalaggh. Now according to their Myspace page (the source of all knowledge pertaining fecal stains on the underpants of human culture) Stalaggh represents the total annihilation of human life, which is exactly the sort of thing you would expect from 'musicians' who are supposedly 'extreme'. Oh you know the types, bands such as Bloodbath who write lyrics such as "I've had one desire since I was born. To see my body ripped and torn. To see my flesh devoured before my eyes" to try to illicit a response like an attention seeking teenager dressing as though her entire collection of clothing fell into a wood chipper. Stalaggh adopts the same tactics and takes it to the logical conclusion.
Stalaggh wanted to portray the hatred and pain of the holocaust in a realistic manner, and so like any right thinking people would do they hired mental patients to create the vocals on their albums. That may not seem so bad in itself, but the 'vocals' actually consist of horrific, eardrum perforating screams of mental anguish. Forget representing the total annihilation of human life – the only thing being annihilated is my ability to hear. From all accounts producing a Stalaggh album counts as much as a form of medieval as actually listening to one. When producing Projekt Nihil the 'musicians' and the mental patients were confined in a small studio basement with the whole thing being recorded; which sounds like the premise for post-modern horror movie, only with more carnage and slit wrists. Projekt Terror resulted in the same 300 levels of madness, except one of the 'musicians' was almost killed – presumably the very same reason why he chose this line of work. For Projekt Misanthropia the band visited an abandoned warehouse with the sole purpose of extirpating everything inside and recording the noise this created. Later they played it over the patients' wails, just in case there was anyone left who could still hear whisper quiet noises.
On its own the music is pretty much unlistenable, not due to being a disturbing subject matter but because it is the human noise equivalent of a rusty nail scrapping down a chalkboard. However if you watch the music video then it becomes particularly poignant, transforming into an endurance test for the soul. The video is archive footage comprising of various atrocities carried out in the name of fascism and misanthropy, the exploitation of which I would label as trying too hard under usual circumstances; but these aren't usual circumstances. Combining the anguished wails and disturbing footage makes for a deeply unpleasant experience as though you are a tenant in a property owned by Jeremy G. Smart. In that sense they are an extreme band but the fact of how hard they had to try is somewhat detrimental, like owning a World's greatest lover mug that you bought yourself.
After their Stalag based trilogy the band decided that creating offensive music based on that one chapter that is always missing from German history books just wasn't satisfying enough and thusly became rebranded as Gulaggh. For those idiotically unaware a Gulag (remember the extra gh stands for Global Holocaust!) was a state sponsored hard labor camp and essentially is what I plan to turn the Job Centers into once I take office. The new trilogy will be called 'Vorkuta', 'Norilsk' and 'Kolyma' which are all names of the most notorious of the camps north of the Artic Circle. Gulaggh have upped the ante this time however, the music is classical rather than in the style of an anarchic 90's shooter industrial nightmare; and also they used 30 children from a youth asylum to record the anguished vocals. Yes you read that correctly. The only conceivable way that this could be topped would be if the next trilogy were an all drunken hobo ensemble giving a rendition of the musical Cats.
Observant readers will have noticed that throughout this review that instead of simply referring to Stalaggh's members as musicians I have added the cynical quotations – an effective tool in a critic's arsenal of language. Now I didn't do this purely because I am sat in a Rupunzel-esque ivory tower looking down on Stalaggh's own brand of music with contempt simply because it doesn't feature Twelve-bar blues chord progression. No my irascible stance originates from the irrefutable fact – you would be hard pressed to refer to Stalaggh as musicians in any shape or form as their tracks essentially are what you would get if you tried to capture an EVP in Aokigahara forest with a few morose guitar riffs and presentiment drum beats sloppily layered over the top; like adding intravenous fluids to an already rancid Kladdkaka. It's somewhat telling when a supposedly music track features less notes than a SMS alert.
In conclusion Stalaggh are inarguably abysmal and do not work as artists, story tellers or even human beings. As I mentioned previously the audio-visual combination does succeed in creating an unpleasant atmosphere (or atmosfear for all the pun fanatics out there) with a feeling of overwhelming dread, but consequentially due to its unlistenable nature any tension created is immediately vitiated due to the fact you are now copiously bleeding from the ears. Obviously blinded by their cupidity to be as extreme as possible, when if logic had prevailed and they put an iota of brain power behind the concept whilst simultaneously making it somewhat listenable they could have succeeded in creating one of the most foreboding depressing bands to have ever exist; and probably be revered by a demographic other than nihilists whom dwell in the cesspits of the forum society. But instead they went all out and in turn became as 'extreme' as a Pepsi max advert featuring Tony Hawk and Bam Margera. Everything points to fact the people behind Stalaggh are either criminally insane or sadists; exploiting both mental illness and the horrors of the holocaust to create their own brand of music. The fact that they won't reveal their names or faces to the public shows that they acknowledge what they are doing isn't exactly moral, similar to when your puppy hides behind the sofa out of shame after voiding its bladder all over your new Mahal rug.

Upstairs at the Sheraton Washington Hotel, Gen. Glenn K. Otis, commander in chief of the US Army in Europe, is talking about ''airland battle,'' the new Army doctrine for defeating a Warsaw Pact attack. This is an important new departure in military planning, and whether or not it works could determine the survival of the Atlantic alliance. But two-thirds of the seats in the dimly lit convention hall are empty.
Ah, but downstairs, friends, the caissons are really rolling!
It's wall-to-wall uniforms and three-piece suits, handshakes and backslaps, all sparkle and flash in a din of happy commerce. There are money and careers to be made, yessir, in this burbling mix of Las Vegas, Marrakech, and the Pentagon, this energetic display of the military-industrial complex at its most obvious.
The Association of the United States Army, a private group of retired military personnel and defense contractors, held its annual meeting here a few days ago. And while the secretary of the Army, the Army chief of staff, and other senior officials appeared, the 200 exhibits set up by armsmakers and peddlers from around the world were where the action was.
There were tanks in the parking lot, helicopters on the roof, and a maze of booths hawking everything from the most advanced anti-tank missiles to your basic, garden-variety ''combined effects munitions'' (cluster bombs).
There were slot machines. There were raffles for a gold-plated golf putter and a fresh lobster. There were card tricks. ''Doesn't this make you think of Pratt & Whitney?'' one quick-shuffling dealer enthused.
There was Miss Maine, in tiara and white sash, helping publicize the guns built by a home-state company. ''They have a nice little pistol over there,'' she said. ''Just two pounds, loaded.''
There were attractive young women, some in white jump suits, others in olive drab short shorts or khaki miniskirts. ''You want your picture taken with the gals?'' the man from Rockwell International asked passers-by, offering instant snapshots with his company's light armored vehicle in the background.
A booster of the ''Hellfire'' missile explained that there were several targets for his promotional campaign here: other contractors, US Defense Department officials, and foreign representatives - not including the two gentleman from the Soviet embassy, carefully scrutinizing a Patriot anti-aircraft missile.
''And we talk to congressional types,'' he explained. ''As you know, budgets are a yearly thing.''
Military advancement - especially when there is no war to display one's ''right stuff'' - often must include success in developing, procuring, and deploying new weapons systems. This has never been more true for the Army - traditionally behind the Navy and Air Force in big weapons buys - which is now acquiring more new high-tech equipment than ever.
At this convention were battalions of mid-ranking officers perusing displays from around the world. A young lieutenant colonel exchanged cards with an armaments salesman from Spain. ''I'm definitely interested,'' he said, as he walked off with four bags full of brochures and trinkets. ''I will contact you.''
''I'm like a kid in a candy store,'' said a major as he looked over the Ultimax 100 5.56-mm light machine gun built by Chartered Industries of Singapore. Nearby, a young civilian executive concentrated fiercely on Atari's ''Battlezone'' video game set up by one arms merchant.
Somehow, as one surveyed this essence of national security at its most commercial, the words of Herman Melville came to mind: ''All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys.''
It wasn't just the G. I. Joe atmosphere here, the fact that the high-priced ''long-range fast-attack vehicle'' looked very much like a dune buggy with machine guns fore and aft. Or the antiseptic cast to highly lethal weapons of war, the videotaped bazooka demonstrator noting casually that ''survivors can be expected to retreat from such an attack.'' Little talk of killing here.
It was also the comments from young soldiers - some with recent combat experience - as they surveyed what a retired general described cynically as ''the greatest military show on earth . . . breathtaking displays often devoid of any enemy action.''
There was the young sergeant (too young to have been in Vietnam) listening to the machine-gun peddler's pitch.
''What happens if you fall in the mud?'' the practical ground-pounder asked. ''No problem!'' was the enthusiastic salesman's reply. The sergeant seemed dubious.
There were also the two young members of Britain's Royal Marines, 42nd Commandos - Sgt. Andrew Jones and Lance Corporal Bill Bone - who talked about their fierce night battle against Argentine machine-gun nests to take Mount Harriet in the Falklands. They credited their success to relatively simple shouldered-fired rockets that had been thrown on the beach and soaked in salt water - ''not treated with any finesse,'' as Sergeant Jones put it. Even here, however, the marines reported fewer direct hits than the rocketmaker was trumpeting based on his test firings.
At a briefing for reporters, the British marines were introduced by retired US Army Gen. Mike Lynch, who had received a battlefield commission as a combat squad leader in World War II. He took a dim view of much of the high-tech weaponry on display, and urged Army planners to listen to the ''doughfeet.''
''With increasing frequency I'm seeing combat needs adulterated with theoretical hogwash,'' he said.
''Remember that all these wonders are designed to help the lowly infantryman succeed in battle,'' said this veteran of three wars.
''He knows what he needs. It's when the colonels and generals try to decide what they need that it becomes complex and expensive. . . . Fabricating a mythical battlefield and then designing and building weapons based on your own creation is dangerous.''
Next door, meanwhile, the arms bazaar continued.
Did she know much about the machine gun she was helping to sell? Miss Maine was asked.
''I know enough to know that if I shoot it wrong, I can get hurt,'' she said.
Here, however, the smoke and din of battle was merely budgetary. And the only target was Uncle Sam's wallet.

The latest on ISIS, and their use of children
Haven't done a post lately on ISIS, which is pretty much on the run everywhere, but putting up a surprisingly decent defense in some smaller areas:
An Iraqi military spokesman says Islamic State militants are putting up tough resistance in a small area outside the newly liberate town of Tal Afar.
The spokesman for the Joint Military Command, Brig. Gen Yahya Rasool, says the military launched a series of heavy airstrikes and artillery since early morning Tuesday on the militants' positions in al-Ayadia district, about 10 kilometers (6 miles) northwest of Tal Afar.
In a separate statement, the military says the troops have entered the district, without giving details.
Last week, U.S.-backed Iraqi troops launched a multi-pronged operation to retake Tal Afar, a month after declaring Mosul, Iraq's second largest city, fully liberated. The militants still control the northern town of Hawija as well as Qaim, Rawa and Ana, in western Iraq near the Syrian border.
And, while as noted Tal Afar has been liberated, it's completely littered with bombs and IEDs in addition to the hidden soldiers.
Although Raqqa remains sort of the spiritual capitol of the ISIS "Caliphate", a new video from CNN shows that it's basically a complete ghost town….
One other disturbing trend is the way ISIS has used children for atrocities and as slave brides. Here are a few reports on that, the first of which, from CNN, dates back 2 years:
ISIS' recent video showing a child shooting a man whom the extremist group claimed was an Israeli spy is the latest example of how the militants exploit children in their propaganda.
As ISIS encourages foreign fighters to bring their families into the parts of Syria and Iraq where it imposes its brutal rule, the catalog of children taking part in shocking acts is grim and growing.
The deeply disturbing cases shine a light into the range of ways the militants are using children to further their aims.
A more recent CNN article talks about how CNN was recriting underage western girls to serve as child brides to the soldiers. In fact, a German 16 year old was recently rescued, although she's now facing charges, since she went willingly, albeit under coercion:
A 16-year-old German girl who ran away from home in 2016 and allegedly joined ISIS has been found alive in Iraq, the German government confirmed Monday.
Linda Wenzel, a schoolgirl from the town of Pulsnitz near Dresden, was one of at least five foreign women captured by Iraqi forces sweeping the old city of Mosul after the defeat of ISIS, according to sources within the counter-terror operation in Mosul.
The sources added that the women have now been moved to Baghdad and are under interrogation….
Wenzel had a gunshot wound on her leg but was able to talk and answer questions, Musawy told CNN. He witnessed her being offered medical treatment.
"It seemed to me as she didn't fully understand what happened to her or what she did," he said.
"I just want to leave," she said, according to the report published in the Suddeutsche Zeitung (SZ). "I want to get away from the war, away from the many weapons, the noise."
Lastly, a piece from the Daily Beast shows a young boy who purports to be the child of an American Soldier that ISIS is using in recruiting videos:
A new video from the Islamic State reportedly shows the young son of an American soldier denouncing "puppet of the Jews" President Donald Trump and threatening that the war with ISIS will not end in the Middle East but on American soil.
According to Memri, a video was released Wednesday featuring a 10-year-old boy named Yusuf explaining who he is and where he came from. Yusuf, clearly reading from a script, revealed his father was a U.S. soldier who "fought the mujahideen" during the war in Iraq.
Yusuf claimed he arrived to Raqqa, Syria, from "America, [the] land of kufr [unbelief]" with his mother two years ago.
The end of ISIS truly can't come soon enough. Evil incarnate.

Ariel at Elliotte's party – Courtesy Marla Sokoloff
A warm welcome back to our celebrity blogger Marla Sokoloff!
Since audiences first got to know her at age 12 as Gia on Full House, Sokoloff has had many memorable TV roles — Jody on Party of Five, Lucy on The Practice, Claire on Desperate Housewives — as well as turns on the big screen in Whatever It Takes, Dude, Where's My Car? and Sugar & Spice.
Sokoloff, 33, currently plays Dani on ABC Family's The Fosters.
She wed her husband, music composer Alec Puro, in November 2009 and the couple — plus pup Coco Puro — make their home in Los Angeles.
You can find Sokoloff, now mom to 2-year-old daughter Elliotte Anne, on Twitter and Instagram.
Hello everyone,
Sorry for being M.I.A. but life has been a wee bit busy over here!
Miss Elliotte turned two last month (OMG!) and I have been working on ABC Family's The Fosters. I'm still searching for the perfect balance of being a kick-butt mom mixed with a busy-ish working mom. Like I said in my last entry, I'm still searching. One always seems to feel compromised.
The good news is, both are so incredibly fulfilling that I'm just doing my best to go with the flow. Some days I find myself wondering how anything got done!
For Elliotte's second birthday, she told me she wanted a princess party with Ariel, Elsa, Anna and her best friends. Not sure where this princess obsession came from, but let me tell you, it's serious.
Elsa and Anna were super busy — obviously — but Ariel stopped by to say hello to the birthday girl and Elliotte even had the nerve to ask her to change her diaper. (I could tell by the look on young Ariel's face that she didn't have kids, so I spared her the requested torture.)
Now that my little girl is 2, I find myself chuckling a lot. Mainly I'm laughing because my daughter is one funny little lady, but the thing that makes me laugh the most is the laughing I do at myself on a daily basis.
These laughs aren't belly laughs or ones that put me in complete hysterics … they are the kind of laughs that only I can hear. It's that silly little voice that says, "I told you so."
With my mom and grandma – Heather Bear Photography
Who is that voice? Is it my mother? Friends who became moms before me? Or is it just the voice of a mom who has lightened up her act a bit? I think it's safe to say that I'm a little less stressed in the hysterical mom department.
(Author's note: if you ask my mother to confirm or deny the above statement, she will most likely say that nothing has changed and I'm still a crazy neurotic mommy. Love you, Mom!)
I'm the first to admit, I was off the rails when Elliotte was born. Before stepping foot in my house, I would give you a nice bath in hand sanitizer. If the fruit you were serving wasn't organic, you would definitely be hearing about it. If you even thought about coming near my kid with a stuffy nose, you were dead to me. (Because we all know you don't really have "allergies.")
Here we are two years later and all of those things still irk me a bit, but I'm about 80 percent (okay … 72 percent) better. Time was the rehab I needed to see that at the end of the day, she's going to be okay.
We all made it out of infancy and toddlerhood just fine drinking from our BPA-laden cups. (Although it's very nice to know that we now have other options!)
Due to the heath problems Ellie had when she was born, I think it made me (and my equally neurotic but unbelievably sweet husband) hypersensitive on every level about every single thing. Now I just think — if we made it through that, we can get through anything.
New Year's Eve – Courtesy Marla Sokoloff
To all of the soon-to-be parents out there or ones that are in the throes of insanity — I decided to write myself a letter that I wish I would have read as I wiped down every high chair in the greater Los Angeles area. Or as I judged every parent's child-raising choices and swore I would never be like them.
Clearly my judgments and hopes for my family were the expectations of an inexperienced parent who didn't know … well … anything.
Dear My Childless Judgmental Self,
I know you are rolling your eyes right now. Especially if you are at a restaurant and there are children screaming or throwing food in your direction.
I know that you are frustrated and annoyed that you are sitting next to a fussy baby on an airplane or at your wits' end over the child who is kicking the back of your seat. It seems like their parents aren't doing "enough" to control them, and that is terribly confusing to you.
One day you will understand early morning frustrations and temper tantrum marathons that occur with most children, so you will know the feeling of not being able to "control your child." You will know it well and some days it will leave you in tears.
I wish you knew the helplessness that every mother feels as her child is doing anything and everything to attract unwanted attention. She doesn't like it and believe me, she also wishes her kid would stop screaming.
She has tried every trick in the book (including the shunned upon bribe — gasp!) to get her little one to calm down. She has failed miserably and doesn't need your stink eye on top of that headache. This is not the first temper tantrum she has dealt with today. She's tired and broken down, so cut her some slack.
I know you think the kids menu is filled with junk and that your healthy kid will be eating quinoa and veggies exclusively. But guess what? Your healthy kid wants grilled cheese for every meal — and quinoa equals starvation — so the kids menu will be your saving grace for meals out.
You say that sugar-filled fruit juice will never enter your child's bloodstream or that cupcakes that aren't gluten/sugar/flavor-free are out of the question … but just you wait until you enter the birthday party circuit.
You can try to pry that juice box out of your screaming child's sticky little hands, but you will never win. Ever. Seriously.
The devil wears frosting – Courtesy Marla Sokoloff
Juice – never say never! – Heather Bear Photography
It's super cute that you don't think you will let your kids watch television or use an iPad. Seriously, it's adorable. Cut to you having the flu and no one is available to watch your daughter besides Dora the Explorer.
You know that 2-year-old running through the park without their shoes on? Before you mumble to yourself in judgment, "Why doesn't that mother put some shoes on that kid?!" just know that's YOUR kid.
While we're on the subject of shoes, don't waste your money buying those cute outfits either.
I'm writing you from the future to let you know that your little princess has worn her Ariel pajamas everywhere for the past week. Complete with bright blue Nikes. Some battles are just not worth the fight.
Beloved Ariel PJs – Courtesy Marla Sokoloff
Anna PJs and the Nikes – Courtesy Marla Sokoloff
I've saved my very favorite thing for last. You ready for this one young lady? All of those annoying phrases and threats your mother used to say that you promised and swore you would never EVER say? You say ALL of them. Every single one.
You count to three. You give time outs. You looks could kill. In a few more years you will most likely say, "I don't care if all the other kids are doing it …" Get ready. You even wipe your daughter's snot with your shirt.
It's a dirty job, but it's the most rewarding, incredible job you've ever had and it only gets better as the days pass by.
As you've been told a million times before, they pass by very quickly so even on the days that you aren't exactly enjoying it and are counting down the seconds until bedtime, try your very hardest to not get frustrated.
You will leave a million restaurants, regret every plane ride, and count to 10 on a regular basis — but this is all part of the wild ride and it's the most amazing journey.
So PEOPLE.com, what are some things you do with your kids that you SWORE you would never do? iPad? TV? Junk food? Co-sleeping? No judgments here! Would love to hear and honestly, feel better about my own parenting skills.
— Marla Less Judgmental, Way More Understanding Sokoloff
P.S. Don't forget to send me Tweets @marlasok or leave a comment below — love hearing from you!

I believe…I believe….what exactly do I believe? Honestly, submitting this essay was not my idea. A professor of mine introduced most of my government class to this segment on NPR, and challenged each of us to submit an essay. As I sat here at my computer trying to decide what I truly believe, I realized a few things about myself. For some reason I was having a tendency to concentrate on the problems that surround me. I was letting the pressures that I was feeling get the better of me. Then after some soul searching I decided to just let go. Things started to come into focus and I had finally discovered what I would like to share with you.
I believe that sometimes the only way that you can get ahead in your own life is to take a leap of faith and follow your dreams. While the stress and pressures of everyday life had clouded my mind, I realized that I had lost sight of the very life changing gift that I have given my self.
Sometimes our lives uncontrollably change and we just have to find a way to stay afloat and ride the waves until we can find a calmer sea. On these turbulent waters is where I have spent most of my adulthood. Within the last ten years a series of uncontrollable events have changed my life. The most unforeseen was the sudden death of my husband. It is amazing how quickly a person's life can go from secure and predictable to scary and paralyzing. I was a woman in my mid-twenties with two young children and not a clue what I was going to do. I had not furthered my education and had never established any kind of work experience outside of raising my children.
Fortunately, I was lucky enough to find a job in a very small school district as a teacher's assistant for the elementary school's pre-k program. I fell in love with the kids and teaching. I had finally found out what I wanted to do with my life.
I continued working with pre-k children for the next 4 ½ years, until one day I over heard a conversation that changed my life. A veteran teacher was reminding an equally experienced aide that she had suggested years ago to go back to school and get a degree to become a teacher. Then she said a sentence that I will never forget, "Those four years would have passed whether you were here or in school." I knew exactly what I need to do.
When contracts were due, I met with the principal to inform him that I would not be back the following year. As I sat in his office the words barely came out of my mouth and even then, I couldn't believe what I was saying. I went straight to a friend's classroom and cried with excitement and fear. I had just taken a tremendous leap of faith. I took control of my life and followed a dream.
I believe that I did the right thing taking this leap of faith and as a result I gave myself a truly life changing gift.

A dromedary driving a van at high speed to escape from a crazy gardener armed with a chain-saw is everyday stuff in Clint City. Jean just shouldn't have gone trampling on gardener Hilly Billy's roses if he'd wanted to avoid unleashing the fury of the Berzerk clan! And if Harvey hadn't been so quick to stop the car-chase, it would have caused so much damage that even Daussone would have found it hard getting Clint City back on its feet again…

Dr.Ido, you are saying that we only need to get the 4 characters to unlock all 5 missions right? And we don't need (for example in Jean mission) to start playing with the card and start the mission? In another words, can we leave the mission like 0/200 rounds win with Jean? Don't we need to leave it like 1/200 at least?
Another question: so imagine that I buy the 4 characters within the 2 weeks after their release and 2 minutes after I sell all the 4. Will the 5 missions keep unlocked forever even if I have kept the 4 characters for only 2 minutes?
I would apreciate your answers Dr.Ido!

@ Coincide : It's his missions that make him so pricy. He has two pieces of the newest mission type ... with all the hype, what would you expect ? And on top of that, he's rare.
Earlier i bought all four of the new cards (for 57049 clintz) and all five mission unlocked. I then made a point of making progress in all 5 missions (it didn't take more than a half an hour). To regain my clintz I put them back up for sale (for 55580 after Kate's tax). In short i cost me 1470 Clintz to unlock the mission forever as i understand it. More than worth it when you consider the 10 credits i would get from the 5th mission alone. Stop complaining people.
@ Hunterrrrrrr
Where are you going on vacation that you can't stop at the library or in the lobby of the hotel you are staying in long enough to buy and sell the four new cards? This should take all of five minutes. If you feel the need to make progress on all the missions it may take a half an hour. If you have to pay for your internet access i can see where this may get costly, but surely you have the money if you are taking a 2+ week vacation.

You had 57,000 clintz to spare. What about people who can't afford to do that?
TheDoomBug Colossus Limit Break Wednesday 01/08/2012, 03:10
I'm not whining about it. I was able to do that. I'm just pointing out that SOME players can't do that.
I am glad the market seems to sorting it out, though. Last I checked, Jean dropped to 15K. This will make it easier for people to... rent the cards, but someone is going to get screwed by this. Oh well, that's capitalism. :shrug:
I just hope the next batch doesn't have "win 200 rounds with a 2*" as its big finish.

ALBANY, N.Y. — New York's top court has upheld random drug testing of New York City police officers through hair samples, a method considered more effective than analysis of urine. The police union argued that expanded use of the hair testing wasn't negotiated in their contracts.
The Court of Appeals ruled unanimously that the police commissioner's disciplinary authority gives him discretion to choose the scientific method and the circumstances that prompt testing.
The ruling Thursday reverses a midlevel court. A lawyer representing the unions declined to immediately comment.

I think about food more than anything else in life, and I'm always curious to know how others incorporate it in their daily lives. In my free time, I write, blog, take food photos and eat as many new things as I can. Currently, I am venturing into food e-commerce and discovering how online food purchases will reshape the way America eats and shares that most central experience.

Institutionalization of Usability: A Step-by-Step Guide (Paperback)Eric Schaffer (author)
- Not available
"Some argue the big advances in our impact on design and usability will come from better methods. Some argue they will come from earlier involvement in the development process. The biggest impact, however, will come as more and more companies realize the benefits of user-centered design and embrace it. Eric offers a practical road map to get there."-Arnie Lund, Director of Design and Usability, Microsoft Corporation
"This book is a great how-to manual for people who want to bring the benefits of improved usability to their companies. It's thorough yet still accessible for the smart businessperson. I've been working with user-centered design for almost 20 years and I found myself circling tips and tricks."-Harley Manning, Research Director, Forrester Research
"This book should be required reading for all executive champions of change. It does an excellent job in laying the foundation for incorporating usability engineering concepts and best practices into corporations. Business success in the new economy will greatly depend on instituting the changes in design methods and thinking that are so clearly and simply put forth in this very practical and useful book."-Ed Israelski, Program Manager-Human Factors, Abbott Laboratories
"For those of us who have evangelized usability for so many years, we finally have a book that offers meaningful insights that can only come from years of practical experience in the real world. Here is a wonderful guide for all who wish to make usability a 'way of life' for their companies."-Felica Selenko, Principal Technical Staff Member, AT&T
"Dr. Schaffer's mantra is that the main differentiator for companies of the future will be the ability to build practical, useful, usable, and satisfying applications and sites. This is a book that provides the road map necessary to allow your organization to achieve these goals." -Colin Hynes, Director of Site Usability, Staples, Inc.
"Eric's methodology helped RBC Royal Bank's online banking complete a new user interface, and provided a blueprint for making usable designs a routine part of our development process. The site became successful in making money, saving money, and increasing customer satisfaction-evidencing the effectiveness of his approach."-Carolyn Burke, Senior Manager, e-Commerce and Payments Strategy, RBC Royal Bank of Canada
"If you're tasked with bringing usability to a large organization, this book is for you (and your boss). Informed by years of case studies and consulting experience, Eric provides the long view, clearly describing what to expect, what to avoid, and how to succeed in establishing user-centered principles at your company."-Pat Malecek, User Experience Manager, AVP, CUA, A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc.
"Usability issues are a key challenge for user-interface development of increasingly complex products and services. This book provides much-needed insights to help managers achieve their key objectives and to develop more successful solutions."-Aaron Marcus, President, Aaron Marcus and Associates
At one time, computer hardware was the key differentiator in information technology-what gave an organization its competitive edge. Then, as hardware prices fell, software took center stage. Today, software has become a broadly shared commodity, and a new differentiator has emerged-usability. Applications, including Web sites, are usable if they are practical, useful, easy to work with, and satisfying. Usability is now the factor likeliest to give an organization a distinct advantage.
Institutionalization of Usability shows how to make user-centered design and development a routine practice within an enterprise. Other excellent books explain precisely how to make software usable; this book builds on that foundation, and focuses instead on how to get usability recognized and incorporated into an organization's values and culture. Based on author Eric Schaffer's extensive experience, the book provides a solid methodology for institutionalizing usability, guiding readers step by step with practical advice on topics like organizational change, milestones, toolsets, infrastructure, and staffing requirements needed to achieve fully mature usability engineering.
Learn how to:Educate your organization about the importance of usability Hire and coordinate usability staff and consultants Plan the standards, design, and implementation phases Retrofit a method that has added user-centered activities Recruit participants for usability interviews and testing Select the right staff and project to showcase-by timeline, user impact, and visibility Evangelize, train and mentor staff, and support the community
Whether you are an executive leading the institutionalization process, a manager supporting the transition, or an engineer working on usability issues, Institutionalization of Usability will help you to build usability into your software practices.

hebrew national hot dogs gluten free – Becoming Hebrew:
As Saposnik shows, these activists did not attempt to rewrite Jewish culture simply by uprooting and transplanting themselves, but sought to affect a dramatic revolution in all aspects of Jewish life. They endeavored not only to revise Judaism, but to revise the very definition of culture, and the expanse with which they viewed the word was, in part, what made this group so revolutionary. The new "Hebrew" culture they sought to create encompassed everything from the way in which Yishuv Zionists dressed to the art they created and the literature they read, to the holidays they celebrated, to the language they spoke and the accent with which they spoke it. Politics, economics, and even medicine were mobilized to become dynamic parts of a new Jewish identity.
Saposnik attempts to recapture their comprehensive view of culture and to show how these activists translated images and ideas into concrete cultural institutions, new art, rituals, and language. But, he also argues that this new culture, while expansive, was highly precarious and intensely contested. The Zionists struggled to maintain a complex relationship with traditional Jewish discourses, practices, and liturgy and to forge a delicate balance between the traditional and the novel, "occident" and "orient," and shifting national centers and peripheries. Through his examination of the Zionist cultural project, Saposnik sheds new light on the origins of Israel and Israeli culture, and on the fundamental building blocks from which modern nations and nationalisms are erected.

With every year, peace in Israel seems to recede further into the distance, while Israeli arts and businesses advance. This contradiction cannot endure much longer. But in cutting through the inflammatory arguments of partisans on all sides, Avishai offers something even more enticing than pragmatic solutions—he offers hope.

I hate this sooo much. It's horrid at low levels now and almost as bad at max. I have a hunter myself, so I understand if you're out questing and such... But yeah UGH.
I cringe any time I see a hunter in my groups now. No offense to the good hunters but that is the truth.
Stampede should only pull aggro if the hunter hasn't turned off growl on every single pet in their active pet bar thing.
My policy is that I don't fight with pets. I'll ask nicely a couple times and even tell them how to turn it off if they say they don't know. After that, I assume the pet is going to tank what it pulls, so I wait till it dies and then pick up the mobs. Trash will wear it down slowly but bosses will kill it.
If the hunter still refuses [and often I get fussed at for letting their pet die] I'll look to initiate a vote kick or let someone else.
Pet tanking when you have an actual tank makes the instance go a lot slower.
I find it strangely comforting that I'm not the only one who cringes when they see a hunter in a group. And I like your policy for dealing with these hunters. Thanks for sharing.Delete
How interesting! I hate Stampede because it wallops me in PvP. I have only tanked a few dungeons and the hunters there have been really good and even trapping stuff. I think I was just lucky though! I do often see people with growl on their pets (demons too) and I think ok well you tank it then. Then the pet dies... aww too bad so sad :PReplyDelete
Yeah, I've actually had really good luck with hunters but just that one day I couldn't seem to find a half-way decent one.Delete

Foreign exchange student Lejing Xu has received a wealth of honors from her host school over the course of the past year, and has most recently walked away with a few accolades that have the teachers and families of Grandville, MI beaming over her accomplishments.
Over the course of the last ten months, Lejing has reinvented the standard for academic excellence at host high school, scoring not only a perfect 1600 hundred on her SAT, but becoming the first female student in the history of Grandville High to score a perfect 100% in her AP Calculus class and come in first out of 453 students with a stunning 4.6 GPA. A well disciplined and extremely outgoing student, teachers at Grandville have been quoted saying that Lejing is not only one of the most advanced students in the school, but has also come to be known and loved for her kindness, friendliness, and outgoing personality.
When asked about her experience as a host mother, Sheryl Blair was happy to say that it was one of the best experiences her family has ever had, and that the time they spent with Lejing is something that her family will treasure for many years. "Having Lejing was just phenomenal," said Blair. "Everyone loves her. She has impacted our lives greatly. She has taught our grandkids to speak Chinese and even to use chopsticks. I know they will never forget her."
Sheryl said that they were inspired to become host parents when they met Dawn Martinson, the Regional Manager for ISE's Central Mid West region, at an expo where Dawn had set up her annual booth for promoting the program. "We love working with kids," said Blair, "so we had tried several times to become a foster family, but for one reason or another it never worked out. Then when we saw Dawn's info, we thought we would give it a chance. It was a great decision, and the program has been positive beyond our wildest expectations."
Lejing is described as a very studious and regimented student. In her home country, she attends a boarding school and only comes home for visits on the weekends. She is also a diligent piano player, and often gives recitals at her school. In Michigan, Lejing has played at several benefits where she was able to raise over one thousand dollars and sell over fifty copies of her CD. "She is a tremendous musician. Her playing is more advanced than I have seen for a student her age," said a local music teacher at Grandville.
The Blair family and Lejing are trying to prepare for her departure, which will take place within the next three weeks. "We are hoping that she will come back and see us again," said Blair. "She was the best there ever could be."
Congratulations to Lejing for her accomplishments We at ISE would like to wish the Blairs a happy and safe holiday weekend, and Lejing a safe trip home.

Tristana Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Chapter 1
Hi guys, this is my first build and it's of one of an old but probably under-rated champion. Tristana takes a while to get the hang of and rarely one of those champions you will do well the first time on. The guide is probably a bit over the place, so forgive me (: Trist essentially a glass cannon and people will target you. The items are just a GUIDE, you cannot use these items every game. Sometimes you will need to sacrifice one or two of them for a banshee's or another survivability item. I'll only take Berserker's Greaves if there isn't a whole lot of AP casters or crowd control on the other team. If something is threatening with a stun or slow, I will always get Mercury Treads. Other damage items worth mentioning are Madred's (which is nice for a bit of armour), Frozen Mallet (nice for HP as well as slow - not normally necesaary since you should be able to secure lizard buff) and Yomuu's
Tristana heavily relies on items as well, she is relatively weak early game, so having the 25 armor penetration and 21 points in offensive should help with that. In saying that, she is one of the only champions I ever complete or come close to finishing her build. You will need to farm well on Tristana, so taking the mid or top solo is definitely going to help. The seals give her enough mana regen to keep harassing and not run out of mana. You will notice not having those seals, though with some experience you can probably get by without them. The glyphs can be exchanged for CDR, but 7% isn't really a lot and the extra MR makes a big difference.
Start by grabbing a single health potion and a doran's blade. Don't fret if you have to lane with someone, Tristana can still excel as a laning partner and with enough experience you'll have no problems getting last hits. Don't forget to share a little with that melee champ in your lane though; they stand no chance last hitting against you!
Always make sure you check what your partner and your enemies' summoner spells are. It can save and WILL save you. Use your W and E to do a little harassing, but mostly just rely on your auto attack if someone steps into your range. Be mindful of how many minions are around. If the enemy has lots, refrain from damaging them but if you have lots, pretend to be carelessly close to them. You can use your W to escape if needbe.
Stay in lane till you have about 1200 gold, then you can call back and grab another two dorans blades, and some boots and another health potion or two if you need it. Don't forget to think about wards as well! Teleport is a terrific summoner spell on Trist, because it allows her to get the farming she desperately needs, as well as saving towers. Flash is just a favourite of mine, you may prefer Ghost more or Exhaust is good too, allowing you to solo someone easier.
The longer you can stay in lane, the better. Trist is extremely good at taking down turrets but that is sometimes detrimental when you've destroyed the turret in 10-15 minutes because it hinders the farming a little. If you are still in lane, don't go back till you have a lot of gold, but if not, upgrade your boots and then grab a BF sword next. Trist isn't a very good jungle, but by about level 10 she can kill the wraiths easy enough (use W to jump on them from across the walls) and by about level 12 you can comfortably kill lizard, which you should always make sure you have.
After your BF sword, get The Bloodthirster. You should be able to keep yourself alive to maintain the additional 40 damage and 10% lifesteal on it. Will full stats on it, you have about 200 damage so now it's time to get some attack speed. You will be able to get by until you have 2250g for your two attack speed items. Zeal also brings Trist's movement speed up to a normal champions as well. The attack speed boost should see you go from 1 attack per second to about 1.5, or 1.8 with your Q. Wit's End should be next, stealing mana and dealing an additional 40 damage, plus some MR will help out.
Never stand at the front of a team fight, and don't jump in or initiate with your W. Whilst it deals good damage, you will die instantly. Trist will usually be doing about 200-250 damage with her auto attack mid-game. Late game, with your IE, you can be hitting between 500-700. Suffice to say, you need to keep yourself alive as long as possible. If you're doing well, or even average, you will most definitely be the target of fights. Playing with someone like Xin, Veigar or any other high damager helps you because they will get targetted too! Don't be afraid to run back a little if someone runs straight for you. You WILL die and most assassins have the ability to take you out extremely quickly and then your team will lose the fight.
Trist's ult can be hard to handle. You never want to push someone away and remember there is a slight delay in casting in. I probably only use it offensively a couple of times per game. More often than not I use it to escape. You can and should use your ult to disable someone channeling, or to just push the tank away. Unless it's executed well, it'll actually hinder your team.
Now for some tricks of the trade:
* Your ult deals damage to one target, but can push many. This is why it should be used carefully.
* Always lead with your W. When I say that, I mean position it further in front of the champion rather than on them. It takes roughly a second to execute.
* The combo of W and R work well together to push a target towards your turret. Use with caution. You'll see what I mean when you start using it, it's quite difficult to hit them where you want to.
* ANY other movement/disable effect will ruin your W. That is to say if Singed is running after you you CANNOT use your W escape. When you use it, Trist stops moving, then launches, by which time Singed will have caught you and used Fling. This will result in you being thrown behind him anyway. Other's to watch for are Xin's Three-Talon Strike.
* You should be able to max your E skill in lane, and at that point it does 200 damage over 8 seconds. Most people don't realize this and it will help you get kills.
Well, that's all I can think to mention. Even if you don't like the item build, hopefully you took something away from this guide.

William Edwards, Senior Network Analyst at a large international bank, was kind enough to take the time to answer questions about how his company is using AppNeta's Path View Cloud service. I appreciate him taking the time to fill us in on why the company selected AppNeta and the benefit it is receiving through the use of its cloud service.
Please introduce yourself and your company
My name is William Edwards, and I'm a Senior Network Analyst at large international bank.
What were you doing that needed this type of technology?
When I first started using Path View Cloud (PVC), I was beginning our proof of concept for a 6 Class of Service model. I was in need of technologies that could validate its function by flooding the lower classes with traffic while preserving the higher classes, customization of types of traffic sent (UDP, TCP, RTP), and have it report on the results. I found that all with this product. I was able to adjust PVC for various test cases and clearly explain the results. Also, in our branch campuses, I am now able to view LAN based activities, including VoIP and have them report back centrally.
What products did you consider before making a selection?
We use many other great products to fulfill our Global Network Management Framework. But when looking for a product to aid us in monitoring Path Metrics I think we made the right choice. I would say AppNeta has been able to establish a niche for monitoring these KPI's and were able to show us statistics we could not see before. I find them very useful to help me do my job more efficiently. On top of that they were able to do this at a competitive price.
Why did you select this product?
To state it simply; WAN path metrics from end-to-end. PVC comes with many other cool features, but this is the reason it was selected. This was the KPI we were missing in our Network Monitoring Framework, and we now have a complete well rounded model to cover all of the metrics that we want to see.
What tangible benefits has your company gotten through the use of this product?
Ease-of-use, well rounded features, and the specific in-depth views into data and real-time path metrics make it an all in one package for us. Monitoring, alerting, data captures and reports are some of the main features that we are taking advantage of and have been able to save costs by resolving problems faster. My favorite feature (besides data captures, just because it's cool to do them remotely) is that we're able to have a LAN view at our sites. In the past, we've traveled the country to troubleshoot potential LAN problems at our many different locations, and we've spent a lot of time and money to do so. Now, we're able to troubleshoot these problems remotely by using a PVC microAppliance. All in all, we've made troubleshooting quicker, which is exactly why this industry needs these types of advancements in technology.
What advice would you offer others?
If you're in need of a product to cover WAN path metrics and remote LAN based traffic. PVC will fill that gap. Don't forget the remote LAN functionality to do remote captures so you can see what types of traffic users are over-using on your network.

Sooners defensive struggles cause for concern
NORMAN (AP) For a while, it seemed that Oklahoma had cured its defensive ills and defensive coordinator Mike Stoops was off the hot seat.
The Sooners blew through the non-conference schedule, highlighted by a 31-16 win at No. 2 Ohio State. Oklahoma ranked among the national leaders in scoring and total defense heading into the Big 12 slate.
Two games into the conference schedule, all the old questions are back. The Sooners escaped struggling Baylor with a 49-41 win, then fell apart in the second half of a 38-31 loss to Iowa State on Saturday. The 12th-ranked Sooners hope to get back on track Saturday against Texas in Dallas.
"Defensively, I thought we had some of these things corrected, and it's not the way it is right now," Stoops said after the Iowa State game. "You've got to find ways to cover people and make plays or it's just going to keep snowballing."
At least Stoops doesn't have to worry about his job security. Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley said making a change is not an option.
"No, that's not on the table," Riley said. "We have a really good defensive staff, and that's who we're going to have."
Oklahoma gave up 631 yards to Baylor, then 449 against Iowa State, with much of the damage coming in a 25-point second half for the Cyclones.

Willoh and Wo
Willoh and Wo
A romance in a future not so very far away
The owner of the salon, Rozilin, wore a pink dress with a nurses jacket and curled her own hair in a dark flip based on pictures she had seen in old magazines. The salon walls were painted pink inside, too, even while outside everything was brown, big brown downtown, with buildings, streets, even the air, the color of rusty ends of things. But Rozilins shop was a rare happy place with three other stylists, and besides the salon, in one corner were some booths for men to have coffee while waiting. The trouble was women rarely came to have their hair done. Only single men, in their long raincoats, stopped by and hunched their shoulders over the mugs of steaming liquid the stylists served them.
Early one morning, Rozilin huddled with her three employees, Zif, Tigi, and Unicorn near the stairs, waiting for the stranger to come down from the little room above the salon. This young woman had wandered in the day before, and Rozilin had lent her the room for the night. The newcomer was a runaway, so she had said herself. I cant remember what Im leaving behind, she told the ladies. In fact, the girl was hallucinating. The pink of the room had swirled in ripples before her eyes as she entered the building, and the four other women that had gathered around her grew large and small, their heads like balloons, as each spoke to her. What was her name?
Willoh, she finally remembered, distinctly pronouncing it, Will - oh.
That was yesterday. Today, as another morning of spring gloom began, the salon ladies watched the young stranger come down the staircase. She wore a black sweater and black high wader jeans with ankle boots; her hair was long and loose, dishwater brown. She was neither very pretty nor plain, but an attractive surge of energy caused her to skip a little when she reached the salon floor, as if beneath the lost present she kept a pleasant past. Once I am sure of where I am again, she was able to think, then I will go on.
Family? asked Unicorn with the bleached buzz cut.
My mother, Willoh answered tentatively, trying out her voice.
Your mother will be worried, Rozilin said.
Call her, Zif put in. Zif was tall and had a wild style of two upright round ponies above her head. She, too, had seen this do in the brittle pages of the magazines found in the salons top room.
The phones arent working, Tigi reminded them. Tigi wore owl glasses and a turquoise wig.
All of the women gathered close to Willoh. Over at the window sat a couple of men, each in a different booth alone, drinking coffee. Each man looked up to glance at the new girl, and then down again went their heads, half hidden by the upturned collars of their coats.
I cant remember the number, anyway, Willoh said finally, after more swirling had stopped. Numbers 775 2345, 0987 and 4739 marched across her mind. I remember my car! she cried out. Ive got to go find my car. She imagined she saw the car parked at the curb just across the street from the shop, but when she dashed to the glass door and looked through the swirls of her mind, it wasnt there.
Im going to find my car now, she announced to the room. Good-bye and thanks.
All the faces loomed in front of her, even the two mens, as they looked up again. What else to say? Willoh wondered. She shrugged her shoulders and went to the door, while those inside turned their faces to each other.
I wish you would stay, Willoh, Rozilin called out, while a youth in the ubiquitous raincoat of men bumped shoulders with Willoh at the door. While the young man paused and watched, Willoh walked on, striding along the sidewalk with the brown steel skyscrapers crowding above her in the low cloud of smoggy air that rarely cleared to blue sky. The streets were wet, as usual, with water running a few inches deep, while at the intersections flowing neatly together like a plaid, the reflecting wavelets making the only bright sparkle of the scene. Willohs stride was long and thin, like an elegant model in some old movie like Funny Face, and the youth, still at the salon door, decided to follow her. Willoh noticed. She kept an eye on him, too, tossing her head back once in awhile to see where he was.
Then, as she passed an apartment building, she saw a tiny black kitten on the stoop. Mew, the little thing said, looking up at her. Bright eyes in a rectangular face gazed meaningfully, she thought, into her own eyes, and seemed to ask her to stop awhile. She sat down and petted the little creature, while it circled and popped up and down under her hand in the irresistible way of kittens, making Willoh, for the first time, feel sharpened and real. She took another quick glance to see where the young man was - he loitered at the near corner.
But from the other direction there came trotting a snuffling dog with a huge head and strong jaws on a short sturdy quartet of legs. Oh, the dog may kill the kitten! Willoh thought. Shed seen such a horror before in her childhood, a dog shaking a tiny kitten by the neck, and she would not let such a thing happen again. Oh, no! She shoved the kitten behind a fern and then said hello to the dog, hoping it was friendly. A small boy ran right up after it; he grabbed the loose leash with a breathless shout.
The dogs mouth opened into a huge smile like a clowns. and Willoh was relieved. She turned to the kitten again, but it had slipped into the building by way of a cat flap hidden behind the potted fern.
No, Goree! the boy shouted, as if he were in charge of a monster.
Willoh meanwhile wobbled the dogs big head in her hands and laughed. Behind the boy, the man who had followed her suddenly appeared and knelt to greet the dog. He looked over at Willoh, and she saw an enigmatic wink of interest play across his face. Willoh stood up, feeling shy, and then the little boy with his Goree dog pulled his pet into the doorway with the cat flap, and that was that.
The dog and the kitten live together, Willoh realized, and she smiled privately; of course they are friends, she thought, while I feared the dog would kill the kitten.
I liked how gentle you were with the kitty, the young man spoke.
Whats your name? she asked.
Wo, he told her.
Yes, Wo answered, another W name.
Willoh didnt care for his presumption of her name, though she realized he had heard it said back at the salon. She stood and walked to the corner of the block; there she considered crossing the street.
The water on the streets wasnt deep, only a few inches ran smoothly along between the curbs, and then at the intersections a ruffle of white water pleated gently and then ran smooth again after. Willoh stepped off the curb and jogged across with Wo very close behind her. At the far curb, Wo leaped ahead onto the sidewalk and held out his hand to Willoh. She accepted his chivalry. Hands still clasped they walked on, and it seemed settled between them that they would be a pair.

I an
impressed Ms. Debbie. Your use if imagery and action seasoned with dialog is masterful. It feels like a running metaphor. Magic until all the snowflakes settle to the bottom of the globe. Beware of letting the third person control the pacing too much though. The story could become a bit plodding if you don't vary it. Also the third person is tough with romance because it hard to get behind the character's actions into their feelings. Still and all, it's a great start.

Hi, and thank you for your replies, makes me feel "dope." I forgot to include a short explanation of the writing, mainly that it is the first part of a short story. I've written the second part, too, but not proofread it yet. I have all the parts ready in my brain, just feel a little block about it. Now I am encouraged some more, so thanks again!
I like the comment about third person. I will try to include more thoughts and feelings going on. That is a good idea.

Pittsfield man avoids jail in wife death case
PITTSFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A Pittsfield man whose wife died after getting out of their moving car during an argument has pleaded guilty to driving drunk.
James Benlien received a two-year suspended jail sentence and two years of probation Wednesday.
The 46-year-old Benlien had faced a charge of leaving the scene of a fatal accident in connection with the November 2011 death of his wife, Christine. But a grand jury declined to indict him on that charge.
Prosecutors say the couple was arguing in the early morning hours as they drove home from a bar with their adult daughter. Christine Benlien stepped out of the vehicle, fell and hit her head. Her husband drove on. She was pronounced dead at a hospital.
James Benlien's lawyer says his client didn't know his wife was hurt.

Not an American user?
DescriptionDekoboko Densetsu is a humorous game that combines elements of arcade action and racing. Up to five players can compete in the races. All the stages are vertically-scrolling (top-down), with the cars represented as small sprites of different colors. The player's goal is not only to beat the other cars, but also reach the finish line safely: each car has limited hit points, and continuously receives damage during the race.
Damage can be sustained by driving over environmental hazards (pits, traps, bombs, etc.), failing to move the car forward in time (if the screen scrolls while the player-controlled car is at the bottom, it takes damage), being hit by the many enemies encountered in the game (which include a wide variety of wild animals, humans, fantasy creatures, monsters, etc.), or being hit by a competing car. Cars have the ability to jump over obstacles or enemy fire, avoiding damage.
Over the course of the races, cars accumulate points depending on their results. These points can be invested in purchasing a limited amount of destructive weaponry (missiles, bombs, "boxing glove" that hits enemies from the side, oil to drop behind the car, etc.) or protective measures.

Hi Hater: Donald Trump Calls President Obama's Re-Election A "Total Sham And Travesty" And Says "Revolution" Is Necessary
Donald Trump Unhappy About Obama Win
Donald Trump is not happy with President Barack Obama's successful campaign for a second term.
Via HuffingtonPost:
The real estate mogul and reality show host took to Twitter to express his displeasure, launching into a screed against the Electoral College and broader Democratic process.
Popular vote totals at the time of his tweet showed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney with a narrow lead over Obama, with votes still left to count.
In a later tweet, Trump called the Electoral College, which allowed observers to call the election for Obama at around 11:12 p.m. on Tuesday night, a "disaster for a democracy." Twelve years ago, many Democrats would have likely agreed, as a hotly contested race in Florida gave the 2000 presidential election to Republican George W. Bush, who lost the popular vote.
It remains to be seen whether Trump has had an honest revelation in favor of electoral reform or is simply upset that Obama's victory deprived him of an opportunity to tweet "You're Fired!" on Tuesday night.
We shall overcomb.

Packers and movers Chennai is very nice place to have a visit and if you are going to relocate there then you will get and experience new things there at Chennai. It is really full of imagination and if you are moving from small town then everything will look like a dream to you. So you must be very much excited for you move and will be wondering that what will happen next and just be waiting for the shifting time to come near you. Yes I know it becomes much difficult for us to leave our home town and to leave all of our friends and relatives there but it must be some helplessness that you are shifting to some another place. And you cannot do anything about it, because there must be some compulsion behind it. And shifting with the children is much stressful as you will have to convince them also.
You should have some convincing power to convince your child because it would be very much difficult for your child to manage to the new place. Yes definitely your child will be going to miss the old place, the streets, the friends and the school. But you should fill up the new excitement in your child so that he/she must not be depressed and should experience and enjoy the change. Moving to an unknown place is quiet difficult because you have no knowledge about the place, and for each and everything you need to ask from someone. If you just need to buy some product then also you need the help of others to advice you the correct place. You totally become much helpless at the new place.
And when you are shifting to the unknown place then you do not have anyone to support you, so in this condition you need to hire a company for your shifting. So that they may guide you properly about the place and can explain you everything. All the tension is on your mind and by having this tension you cannot shift on your own at some or the other step you will need help from the Packers and Movers Company. So make your planning from starting to convince your child and to hire the company that easily fits your budget so that you do not need to struggle much for the last time and you can have your work done easily by the help of the company. Plan for the new school and get the transfer or the migrating certificate from the old school so that you can show these documents at the new school, and make changes in your address so that none of your important letters and documents should reach at the old place.

The newly-renovated Jimmy Carter Library and Museum opened Thursday, on the former U.S. president's 85th birthday.
Former President Carter and his wife Rosalynn attended the ceremony for the museum in Atlanta, in the southern state of Georgia.
The renovations took about five months to complete and cost about $10 million.
New museum features include an interactive exhibit to give visitors a behind-the-scenes look at a day in the life of a president.
The exhibits also focus on Mr. Carter's work after he lost his bid for re-election in 1980. Since leaving office, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate has worked to mediate conflicts, monitor elections around the world, and eradicate poverty and diseases such as Guinea worm disease and river blindness.
The museum still has some of its original displays, including a full-scale replica of the White House Oval Office.
Some information for this report was provided by AP.
