Nettuno, Italy
The World War II Sicily-Rome American Cemetery and Memorial is situated at the north edge of the town of Nettuno, Italy. It is just east of Anzio and thirty miles south of Rome. The cemetery can be reached by automobile from Rome along Via Cristoforo Colombo which runs into Via Pontina (Highway 148). Drive south approximately thirty-seven miles and exit at Campoverde/Nettuno. Turn right to Nettuno and go five and a half miles to the cemetery There is hourly train service from Rome to Nettuno where taxicabs can be hired. There are numerous hotels in Anzio and Nettuno.
The cemetery site covers seventy-seven acres, rising in a gentle slope from a large pool with an island and cenotaph flanked by groups of cypress trees. Beyond the pool is an immense field of headstones of 7,862 American military Dead arranged in gentle arcs which sweep across the broad green lawns beneath rows of Roman pines. Many of the Dead interred or commemorated here lost their lives in the liberation of Sicily ( July 10 to August 17, 1943); in the landings at Sabeno Area (September 9, 1943) and in the heavy fighting northward; in the landings at Anzio Beach and expansion of the beachhead (January 22, 1944 to May 1944: and in air and naval support in the regions.
At the head of the wide central mall stands the memorial, a building rich in works of art and architecture, expressing America's remembrance of its Dead. It consists of a chapel to the south, a peristyle and a museum to the north. On the white marble walls of the chapel are engraved the names of 3,095 American Missing who gave their lives in the service of their country and whose remains were never recovered or identified. The museum room contains a bronze relief map and four fresco maps depicting the military operations in Sicily and Italy. At the north end of the memorial is an ornamental garden.

Surry Hills-Darlinghurst
Darlie Laundromatic
304 Palmer St, Darlinghurst
The dark and slightly steep section of upper Palmer Street is not a place you'd expect to find a small bar. The first clue is the soft red and blue sign glowing, quietly beckoning you. Is there really a bar tucked in this non-descript row of shop fronts and behind these security grilles? And so, you have now stumbled upon Darlie Laundromatic. Keeping a number of the original elements of the pre-existing Laundromat while adding a few new ones (such as a row of tea towels hanging out to dry), this 2012 addition to Surry Hills is both quaint and engaging. Stepping inside just somehow makes you want to smile.
It seems most small bars have quite large prices, but the drinks at Darlie Laundromatic are quite reasonable: starting at $5 for a beer. Likewise, the wine list is both moderate in range and price. The bar itself is compact to say the least, and the open kitchen gives this place a great homely feel. The décor, like the food is a mix between the old and the new, while always managing to be engaging. Don't be surprised to see mini hot-dogs and warm chorizo and white bean salad sitting side-by-side on the menu. Then there is modern communal table down the centre of the bar surrounding by old vinyl records and knick knacks. Come here for something fun and different.
In brief: Darlie Laundromatic
Best things:
Impressive food, good prices
Don't miss:
Décor, flipping through the vinyl collection.
Ideal for:
Small groups, drinks with a difference, catch-ups with friends
Date tip:
Grab the small couches closest to the street
Plastic bar stools and chairs could be a bit more sturdy.

She heard yelling, a sudden loud sound, and her body bounced off of another's like a rag doll. Wait. She was out side of her cage, in the display room. She lifted her heavy head and blinked the blurriness from her eyes. She missed the part where she was dragged from her cell to the suspension cage.
She was spinning around until forced to a stop and a familiar face was yelling something at her. Oh yeah, she had to perk up. Look good for the customers. She remember the punishment for weary slaves. She took a deep breath and felt for the floor with her feet. Now she stood straight, up on her toes with her arms above her head. Her outfit was a two piece black bathing suit.
Her body showed old scars from when she was being broken by the guards. Her black-brown hair had been washed a few days before as to get the stink of the musty cells down stairs out. Her eyes, a dark chocolate, contrasted against an unbelievably pale skin tone. Medium breasts and a small back side didn't make for good selling, but they would rather get rid of her then spill her blood and have to clean that up later.
Slaves were popular nowadays. They were used for what ever their owners demanded. Who wouldn't want to come home after a bad day at work and do to their slave what they wanted to do to anyone that pissed them off? If the slave had the skills, a traveler had a companion and a protector. And pleasure? Well, that was obvious.
But what good was Chloe for? She had a thin frame and no sex appeal. Fighting was as foreign to her as air was to a fish. She was immune to almost any pain someone could inflict on her. She could cook and clean, since she was forced to do that anyways. But what use could this lanky young girl be to anyone?
So she watched as more eye catching women were taken away. They played their parts well, whistling, calling out, and doing everything in their power to attract a wealthy man to free them from their shackles. Chloe had only one thing that they didn't.
She remembered dignity, pride, independence. Through the years she knew how to disguise them, knew when it was safe to show what part of her she had left. She had been bought for her traits, but when the new owner tried to break them of her she would lock them away again, and leave only disappointment in her wake. She wasn't going to die in the shackles that bound her. A few men took interest in her petite figure, asking the same questions that had been asked before.
Guards encouraged her sale, but Chloe seemed to ooze distaste by the end of it. Dirty looks and stinging insults was all they would receive from this skinny little girl. Sometimes a face full of saliva if they were close enough. Chloe was waiting for a challenge. Some one was sure to come along that was different. Would the stranger see the fire burning inside? Through the matting hair and scars, would they see the girl struggling to stay alive?
"Her name is Chloe Clements. Nineteen years old, five foot exactly, she's got spunk and a vipers mouth. Good if you like rebellious girls." Chloe had glanced up when she heard her name. There was a man there, different from the customs the week before. He was tall, broad shoulders, dark hair, light skin. A traveler by the looks of it. Around this area there weren't many, but he wasn't foreign to her. She glared defensively as he approached her and did her best to turn her body away from him.

Vehicle1998 Subaru Legacy Brighton 4dr Wagon AWD
ReviewThis is a great car. I have 190,000 miles on it. It has fewer rattles than a 2004 Toyota Sienna LXE I bought new that I traded for another new car. I tow a utility trailer and small craft trailer with it. Breaks, tires and belts and a tune up at 100,000 miles, second timing belt at 175,000. Very few problems ever - dash lights burnt out had them replaced. Some engine noise before warm up. Unbeatable in snow and ice. We get a lot of both here in northwestern Connecticut. You sit a little low but that's acceptable. Perhaps next year I will get another. Hope to keep this past 200,000 for winter driving and towing. My daily driver is now a 2006 Honda Accord - sill like the Subaru better I think!
Best FeaturesGood visibility. Unbeatable on icy roads. Very durable. Can tow 2,000 lbs or less. Has character. Fun on dirt roads. Great road hugging on wet and dry roads too. Super practical.
Worst FeaturesSlightly higher front seats and a little more padding. All in all pretty darn good as is thank you!

Ok, thanks for answer. As a suggestion: Anchor without snapshot attribute must save the full datamodel. Next situation can be possible. User want to rollback full datamodel with the exception of one <data> item in which history of attempts is saved. In this situation he has to enumerate all data items. But datamodel can be very large and he can forget something. It will be nice to have opportunity to define a snapshot by way of exclusion. "All data except <data list>" Regards, Serge. --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell? Check outnew cars at Yahoo!

[Note: This is a work-in-progress since Garmin Pilot was just released on 3/27. Check this post for regular updates as we review some of the features of Garmin Pilot and develop our brief tutorial!]
As background, I've been an avid user of ForeFlight for awhile now, so my natural tendency is to compare how Garmin Pilot stacks up to ForeFlight. There is a high degree of feature commonality between the two, yet each is still markedly different from the other in actual design. Both deserve a thorough evaluation before committing to either one for your cockpit. So let's checkout Garmin Pilot.
Creating a Flight Plan
Pressing the Home button will bring up the main Menu:
Notice it displays the last flight plan I used. Choose the Active FPL to go to the Active Flight Plan Page:
By default your last flight plan will appear. There are three ways to add way a waypoint. One, you can type it in the box below:
Press on the X to the right of route input area to clear the existing routing, then start typing your waypoint identifiers separated by spaces. Second, you can press on the green-plus "Add Waypoint" bar:From the pop-up menu enter the waypoint desired and select it.
Third, on the map you can press and hold until a menu appears with all neighboring identifiers from which you can pick. If you press and hold you will see:
While holding the pressure you can move the orange circle around to the area of the waypoint you wish to include, then hold it there until you see this menu appear:
From this pop-up you can select the waypoint desired. Continue this process until you have all the waypoints you need.
Once all points are in you can save this flight plan to your Bookmarks file. Touch the Bookmarks icon (open book), then touch the green plus to bookmark your flight plan. Later you can quickly retrieve a previously saved flight by selecting it from the bookmarks.
Stay tuned for a look at more Garmin Pilot features soon!

The pop culture murderers at Full Spread Entertainment have added The Simpsons: A XXX Porn Parody to the neverending list of needless adult films that are being made from our favorite TV shows and movies. Starring *slams head against desk* Evan Stone, James Deen and… I don't really care. Those two are enough to already make me ill. Why? Why did this have to be made? Probably so we can once again say, "The Simpsons did it."
According to the trailer's YouTube page:
In this live-action sex satire, Homer borrows Flanders video camera and tries to convince Marge to let him glaze her tight pink donut. Mmmmmmm…pink donut.
But instead, everybody else in Springfield seems to be getting their shorts eaten, until Marge finally decides to let her blue hair down, and show you and Homer how wet and wild it can get underneath that green dress.
Witness sexed-up spoofs of your favorite Springfield characters; Marge, Homer, Cookie Kwan, Moe, McBain, Barney, Flanders, and more!
I'll admit, the Cookie Kwan and Flanders impersonations are good, but still… No. Just no. Besides, how can you have a Simpsons porn parody when the main character of the show is a child? Unless you're Gary Glitter, that's not going to work. And at the very least, Stone could have played Frank Grimes. In real life preferably. Also, Bree Olson and Lisa Ann as Itchy and Scratchy. It just seems right.

Australian authorities say over $900 million worth of liquid methylamphetamine was found inside silicon push up bra inserts which were being imported from Hong Kong. The discovery, which lead to the arrest of four Hong Kong passport holders, is the largest meth bust (get it) in Australian history.
"This largest seizure of liquid methylamphetamine to date is the result of organized criminals targeting the lucrative Australian ice market from offshore," Justice Minister Michael Keenan said.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Australia's drug slag, "ice" is a commonly used term for meth. Just ask this confused Australian grandmother…
Police, who also found the liquid drug hidden in a batch of art supplies, recovered an additional 4.4 pounds of crystallized meth. If convicted, the four men who were arrested could end up with life in prison.

OP-ED COLUMNIST; The Good News About Mel Gibson
By FRANK RICH
Published: July 18, 2010
FOR Fourth of July weekend fireworks, even Macy's couldn't top the spittle-spangled eruptions of Mel Gibson. The clandestine recordings of his serial audio assaults on his gal pal were instant Web and cable-TV sensations -- at once a worthy rival to Hollywood's official holiday releases and a compelling sequel to his fabled anti- Semitic rant of 2006. A true showman, Gibson offered vitriol for nearly all tastes, aiming his profane fusillade at women, blacks and Latinos alike. The invective was tied together by a domestic violence subplot worthy of ''Lethal Weapon.'' There was even a surprise comic coda, courtesy of Whoopi Goldberg, who, alone among Gibson's showbiz peers, used her television platform on ''The View'' to defend her buddy's good character.
The Gibson tapes -- in plain English and not requiring the subtitles of some of the star's recent spectacles -- are a particularly American form of schadenfreude. There's little we enjoy more than watching a pampered zillionaire icon (Gibson's production company is actually named Icon) brought low. The story would end there -- just another tidy morality tale in the profuse annals of Hollywood self-destruction from Fatty Arbuckle to Lindsay Lohan -- were it not for Gibson's unique back story.
Six years ago he was not merely an A-list movie star with a penchant for drinking and boorish behavior but also a powerful and canonized figure in the political and cultural pantheon of American conservatism. That he has reached rock bottom tells us nothing new about Gibson. He was the same talented, nasty, bigoted blowhard then that he is today. But his fall says a lot about the changes in our country over the past six years. We shouldn't take those changes for granted. We should take stock -- and celebrate. They are good news.
Does anyone remember 2004? It seems a civilization ago. That less-than-vintage year was in retrospect the nadir of the American war over ''values.'' The kickoff fracas was Janet Jackson's breast-baring ''wardrobe malfunction'' at the Super Bowl, which prompted a new crackdown against televised ''indecency'' by the Federal Communications Commission. By December Fox News and its allies were fomenting hysteria about a supposed war on Christmas, with Newt Gingrich warning of a nefarious secular plot ''to abolish the word Christmas'' altogether and Jerry Falwell attacking Mayor Michael Bloomberg for using the euphemism ''holiday tree'' at the annual tree-lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center. In between these discrete culture wars came a presidential election in which the Bush-Rove machine tried to whip up evangelical turnout by sowing panic over gay marriage.
It was into that tinderbox of America 2004 that Gibson tossed his self-financed and self-directed movie about the crucifixion, ''The Passion of the Christ.'' The epic was timed to detonate in the nation's multiplexes on Ash Wednesday, after one of the longest and most divisive promotional campaigns in Hollywood history.
Gibson is in such disgrace today that it's hard to fathom all the fuss he and his biblical epic engendered back then. The commotion began with the revelation that his father, Hutton, was a prominent and vociferous Holocaust denier and that both father and son were proselytizers for a splinter sect of Roman Catholicism that rejected the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, including the lifting of the ''Christ-killers'' libel from the Jews. Jewish leaders and writers understandably worried that ''The Passion'' might be as anti-Semitic as the Passion plays of old. Gibson's response was to hold publicity screenings for the right-wing media and political establishment, including a select Washington soiree attended by notables like Peggy Noonan, Kate O'Beirne and Linda Chavez. (The only nominal Jew admitted was Matt Drudge.) The attendees then used their various pulpits to assure the world that the movie was divine -- and certainly nothing that should trouble Jews. ''I can report it is free of anti-Semitism,'' vouchsafed Robert Novak after his ''private viewing.''
Uninvited Jewish writers (like me) who kept raising questions about the unreleased film and its exclusionary rollout were vilified for crucifying poor Mel. Bill O'Reilly of Fox News asked a reporter from Variety ''respectfully'' if Gibson was being victimized because ''the major media in Hollywood and a lot of the secular press is controlled by Jewish people.'' Such was the ugly atmosphere of the time that these attempts at intimidation were remarkably successful. Many mainstream media organizations did puff pieces on the star or his film, lest they be labeled ''anti-Christian'' when an ascendant religious right was increasingly flexing its muscles in the corridors of power in Washington.
Both George and Laura Bush expressed eagerness to see ''The Passion.'' There were reports (spread by the film's producer and never confirmed) that the very frail Pope John Paul II had given a thumbs-up after his own screening at the Vatican. The Wall Street Journal editorial page, which would publish several encomiums to ''The Passion,'' ran a sneak preview likening the film to ''a documentary by Caravaggio.'' Even The New Yorker ran a deferential profile of Gibson -- in which the star said he wanted to kill me and my dog (though, alas, I had no dog) and have my ''intestines on a stick.'' Far more troubling was the article's whitewashing of Gibson's father's record as a Holocaust denier. In the America of 2004, Mel Gibson, box office king and conservative culture hero, was invincible.

Tennis-Berdych, Nishikori withdrawals shake up Miami Masters
* Djokovic, Nadal gain walkovers
* Both advance to final on free passes
* Djokovic will play for fourth Miami title (Changes slug, adds Berdych withdrawal)
By Steve Keating
MIAMI, March 28 (Reuters) - World number one Rafa Nadal and number two Novak Djokovic advanced to the final of the Sony Open in shocking fashion, receiving walkovers after their opponents pulled out of the tournament within hours of each other on Friday.
Djokovic was first gifted a spot in Sunday's final when Japan's Kei Nishikori withdrew with a groin injury.
A few hours later the tournament was rocked again when seventh seeded Czech Tomas Berdych announced he was withdrawing due to gastroenteritis, handing Nadal a free pass.
Thousands of tennis fans had arrived at the Crandon Park complex expecting a day of pulsating action but instead were left with a two doubles matches.
"Sorry for Kei. Sorry for Thomas. Sorry for the tournament. Especially sorry for the fans," Nadal said on his Twitter account after the double walkover.
Nadal advanced to the final for a fourth time where he will try for his first title on the Miami hardcourts against three-time champion Djokovic.
Nishikori had reached the last four after registering a pair of three-set upsets, defeating Spanish fourth seed David Ferrer in fourth round followed by a quarter-final win over Swiss 17-times grand slam winner Roger Federer.
The ATP Tour announcement Nishikori and pulled out just before the 20th seed was about to take the court.
"It's really sad, of course, semi-final in a big tournament," Nishikori told reporters. "Was really playing well and beating (Grigor) Dimitrov, David (Ferrer) and Roger (Federer). I was really excited to play here the semis.
"But unfortunately I couldn't move side-to-side. Just tried to warm up today, but I couldn't move."
Nishikori said that the groin had been bothering him for sometime but flared up during his match against Federer that ran late into an unusually cool evening in South Florida.
The Japanese number one also retired during the Delray Beach tournament in February for similar reasons.
"I really felt the last match against Roger, the quarterfinal," said Nishikori. "I had it before Indian Wells, and I hurt it in Delray. It wasn't 100 percent yet."
Nishikori will return to Japan where he will see doctors to determine the extent of the injury that could keep him out of Japan's Davis Cup tie next month against the Czech Republic.
"I don't know if I can play or not but I will try," said Nishikori. "It's not going to be like surgery bad, but it's still...I'm feeling it, so I have got to see a doctor right now."
Berdych said the sickness had affected him for most of the day.
"I just woke up with a pain in my stomach, just went for toilet, and got really strong diarrhea," he said. "Since then, it starts to go on and on. More time, diarrhea and then also throwing up and stuff like that.
"I lost so much of the liquid and all the possible energy I could have," he added.
"Came here. Tried to do as much as I could, see the doctors, receiving the IV, and basically not with good results."
The walkover was the second of the tournament for Djokovic, the Serb also receiving a free pass in the third round when Florian Mayer pulled out, also with a groin injury.
Djokovic should be well-rested for Sunday's final, not having played in four days and contested just three matches the entire tournament.
Friday's walkover was the second of the tournament for the Serb, who also received a free pass in the third round when Florian Mayer pulled out, also with a groin injury.
"It's not the first time it happens to me (a walkover), maybe it is the first time twice in the same tournament but it is the way it is and you kind of have to deal with that mentally," said Djokovic. "I practiced today, 30-40 minutes on centre court, got good rhythm and trying to keep up with what I have been doing.
"I won in Indian Wells, gave me a lot of confidence, played a lot of matches so hopefully it will pay off." (Reporting by Steve Keating in Miami. Editing by Pritha Sarkar and Gene Cherry)

Paolo Bacigalupi's Ship Breaker is a science fiction story written for a young adult audience. Ship Breaker follows the story of Nailer, an impoverished child laborer who lives in a world where oil has all but run out. The icecaps have melted and the coastal cities of the twentieth century are lost beneath the water. Nailer's life changes when he rescues Nita, the daughter of a rich, powerful family. Bacigalupi explores poverty, class differences, and the conflict between loyalty and survival.
Nailer was born into poverty on America's southern coast. Nailer is scrawny, which is an asset because it makes him ideal for "light crew" ship breaking, which means that he crawls through the dark interior of wrecked oil tankers to scavenge supplies for his employer. As he begins to grow, Nailer hopes to become large enough to work "heavy crew," which involves tearing the ship apart. Although life as a scavenger is difficult, it is even harder for people without a crew at Bright Sands Beach. People who cannot find work ship breaking often resort to selling body parts; as Nailer's crewmen point out, there are only so many parts to sell.
As he crawls through the ducts and forgotten tunnels of shipwrecks, Nailer wears LED paint to provide him with light, though it itches. There are petroleum fumes in the bowels of the ship so Nailer wears an old, outdated filter to offer his lungs a measure of protection. Although the fumes are harmful, light crew members who find oil may be able to find a way out of hard labor. Nailer and his friends call this a "Lucky Strike," a phrase that draws its name from a man who smuggled oil out of a ship for weeks before selling it independently and buying his way out of hard labor.
Every day, Nailer and his crew desperately work to make quota. Although every member of the crew has sworn a blood oath of loyalty to the others, they know they are expendable because there are so many people on Bright Sands Beach hoping to gain work, however difficult. Unfortunately, a hurricane is about to strike the Gulf Coast. Because Nailer's crew is about to lose its claim on the ship, Nailer and his companions are sent back into the shipwreck even after making quota to draw out as much scavenge as possible. Frustrated, Nailer forgets to apply more LED paint and ends up in a dark pipe. As he turns around to leave, the duct breaks and he falls into a reservoir of petroleum. This would be a Lucky Strike if Nailer were not drowning in oil without a way to escape. Nailer manages to reach the wall of the basin and calls for help.
Nailer's crewmate, Sloth, finds him. After considering Nailer's problem, Sloth decides to break her blood oath and abandons Nailer to die in the oil. Once he dies, the petroleum will become her Lucky Strike. Abandoned and betrayed, Nailer reasons that there may be a door out of the basin. He finds one and escapes, only to fall out of the side of the ship and into the high tide. Although he is impaled on a scrap of iron, he is alive. Things do not go as well for Sloth. For breaking her oaths, Sloth's tattoos are removed so that everyone will know that she cannot be trusted. It is likely that she will be forced to sell body parts to live.
After a night of celebrating his good luck with his crew, Nailer returns home to his father's shack. Nailer's father, Richard Lopez, is a widower and a drug user. He is also exceptionally dangerous. Fast and skilled with a knife, Richard Lopez has thirteen scars on his chest that represent the number of men he has killed in knife fights. Richard Lopez often beats his son, though Nailer has gotten...

OSAGE COUNTY - Osage County Road 604 will remain closed at Route 50 near Linn until the afternoon of Saturday, March 22, as work continues on the Route 50 four-lane project. Workers will be relocating excess rock created during the excavation portion of the project.
The contractor is using the excess material to raise the new highway and the connection to County Road 604. Raising the highway will increase sight distances and will provide a safer connection to Route 50. Disposing of the rock this way is also more cost-effective than hauling the excess material.
The work is part of the project to expand Route 50 to four lanes in Osage County from the Route 50/63 junction to County Road 604 west of Linn.
MoDOT appreciates the patience of motorists during the closure.
More information about the project can be found at www.modot.org/central or by calling 1-888-ASK-MoDOT (275-6636).

The book on Rayvonte Rice
What to expect from Rayvonte Rice at Illinois?
Who better to ask than coaches that compiled scouting reports on him?
Three coaches that game-planned against Drake last season offered similar opinions of the 6-4 guard that is transferring to Illinois.
Two positive constants stood out in their scouting reports: Rice's powerful body (the former Centennial football standout is around 235 pounds) creates mismatches and his scoring ability (he led the Bulldogs in scoring in both seasons at Drake).
"I'd say 85 percent of his scoring came from 5 feet outside the right block. That's what we tried to take away," said one coach from the Missouri Valley Conference. "He still scores. He just overpowered our guys. And we've got some guys that can guard. "It doesn't matter what level he's playing at. For his position, the guys that are guarding him, he's stronger than them. We put our strongest guy on him. He still got his."
The 2010 News-Gazette State Player of the Year, Rice will sit out next season before becoming eligible for the 2013-14 season. He averaged 16.8 points and 5.8 rebounds as a sophomore at Drake.
The question – as it always is with transfers from outside the power conferences – is how Rice's game will translate to the Big Ten. All three of the coaches surveyed said his scoring ability should translate well – mainly because of his size as a perimeter player.
"I think it's a great pickup as far as a transfer. He'll get his feet wet in that first year and then move into the lineup after that," one opposing coach said. "Purdue was looking at him. That tells you something. At our level he physically imposed himself on people and made himself a scorer because of his size. I don't think that changes (in the Big Ten).
"He's hard to guard. He's what, 220-plus? It's basically got a small-forward's body. There aren't many 190-pound guards that can deal with him, whatever league he's in. You'll have to put a bigger guy on him."
Another coach said, "He's going to score (at Illinois). He's not going to score 16 a game like (he did) in the Valley – that won't happen – but he'll score. He's not a great shooter. He'll have to get better there. But he'll find a way to score points."
Coaches cited two weaknesses: inconsistencies on his jumpshot (he made 27 percent of his three-point attempts at Drake) and effort on defense.
"He can probably defend better. He gets a lot of steals but I wouldn't say he's been a great defender," one coach said. "He needs to shoot it better. We didn't guard his (outside) shot as much. But he likes to drive it. He's a drive-first kind of guy. I don't think he'll be an All-League guy (at Illinois), but he'll be productive."

Top Banana
By Lord Raa
Disclaim-me-do: Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside.
Part Two...
Kaolla knocked on the door to Motoko's room.
"Hi Motoko, I need your help."
"Hi Su-chan, what can I do for you?" the kendoist asked looking up from her notebook.
The blonde closed the door behind her, uncharacteristically displaying a need for privacy. "I want your help to keep Keitaro safe."
"Keep Urashima safe? Why? Is he in danger?" Motoko asked, having now closed her notebook. "I thought that he could withstand almost any amount of punishment."
"Well, I'm worried that everyone will still want to play with him," the mechanical genius answered.
"I see. And just how will people 'playing' with Urashima endanger him?"
"I heard Naru saying something about making Keitaro bark like the dog he is. Keitaro's not a dog, he's a Keitaro - he should be free to roam about the house!" Kaolla declared with a fire of righteous justice burning in her eyes.
'No! Keitaro-sempai can't like that sort of thing ... If he did, that means he can't be the sort of man to take charge and...' Motoko mused with a blush upon her flawless cheeks. "Are you sure about this, Su?"
"Very sure, I recorded it a couple of nights ago," the blonde insisted. "Here," she said as she pulled out a small electronic device with an LCD screen
The kendoist was treated to a visual recording of the inside of Naru's room. In it Naru as pacing in her room, cursing the landlord of the inn and declaring him to be the most perverted man alive.
"¬One of these days I'll make him pay! I'll make him bark like the dog that he is and beg for mercy!¬"
Motoko blinked and winced as her friend went on to describe her planned punishment to Kitsune.
"¬Calm down, Naru, it's not like Keitaro meant to walk in when Shinobu was washing your special panties,¬" the busty girl rolled her eyes.
"¬Pfft, if you say so, Kitsune. You never know with someone like him,¬" Naru muttered angrily.
"I see," the raven haired girl mused. "Urashima does have some awful luck, but I don't think that he deserves that kind of abuse. I'll keep an eye out for him, Su-chan, but I won't let him get away with displaying any of his perversions."
"Ok, Motoko," Kaolla nodded happily.
"And I'm only doing this to keep a certain fact a secret," Motoko added.
"Of course!" Su smiled as she stretched and suddenly acquired a new set of batteries. "Time to start work on Mecha Tama version 6.7! This one'll have TOW missiles!"
And with that, the blonde bounced out of the room to work on a weapon of mass destruction.
On the island paradise of Molmol, Amalla Su sat in the hospital with a concerned look on her face. She noticed that her father was speaking to the doctor.
"I'm afraid it's not looking good, Amalla," the grey haired man said with an apologetic look on his face. "The doctors are telling me that there's an infection in the leg wounds that mean they may have to amputate them."
"... but why would Shiro bite him like that?" the tanned woman asked in a soft voice. "I asked the guards about what happened, but they said something about him 'fooling around with a man'... why would he want a man when he was going to be married to me?"
"I don't know, Amalla," King Mamba Su said as he gave his eldest daughter a comforting embrace. "I have some news from Kaolla."
"You do? What's she up to now? Is she still blowing that 'Keitaro' of hers up?" Amalla asked with a smile.
"Well, apparently, she's asked him to marry her," the monarch explained.
"I know, I know," heavy-set man chuckled. "But she thinks that marrying him is the best option as he isn't going to make a play for power."
"That's a surprisingly mature attitude from Kaolla," Amalla mused. "But if he makes her happy, then I don't see why they can't get engaged, at least for a little while."
"Me neither. We'll take it as it comes. If this Keitaro's not suitable, then we'll arrange for a new fiancé," Mamba decided. "Now the only question is: what does a Prince Consort do? Other than sleep with the Queen, that is."
"KEITARO~~~!" Kaolla happily called out for her fiancé. "Where are you?"
"I'm cleaning the baths out, Su," the landlord replied as he looked up from his task. "Is there anything you need from me?"
"Are you free this weekend? I wanted to take you home to meet my parents," the blonde answered.
"But that's a long flight, isn't it?"
"It's about nine and a half hours, if we get a good tailwind," Su smiled.
"I'd love to, Su, but I can't afford the plane ticket," Keitaro apologised. "I just don't have that kind of money to spare, sorry."
"I'll take care of it," the princess insisted. "I do have a stipend to take care of all my bills, plus there's the emergency 'let's get Kaolla on the first flight home' fund."
"If you insist, but isn't this a bit extravagant for a weekend trip?"
"No, extravagant would be calling daddy for the jet," Kaolla smiled teasingly. "So then, I'll book the flights and we'll leave together!"
"Urashima!" Motoko bellowed as she approached her landlord. "What are you planning to do with Su-chan on your depraved little outing far away from here?"
"I wasn't planning to do anything to Su! She invited me to Molmol!" Keitaro insisted.
"That's a long time to be alone with Su-chan," the kendoist mused. "Perhaps it would be better if I was accompanying you. It would put everyone's minds at rest."
"That's not a bad idea," Kitsune spoke up from the doorway to the bathing area. "But all of us going would be a better one."
"Yes, but you can only come if you're buying your own tickets," Kaolla smiled.
"But you're paying for Keitaro's, aren't you?" the vixen asked, slightly hurt at being left out.
"Well, he's my concubine," the tanned girl explained.
"Concubine?" the voluptuous woman repeated.
"She meant fiancé," Motoko insisted with a blush. "Didn't you, Su?"
"Concubine, fiancé, what's the difference?" the princess asked, her head tilted to her right as she scratched the inside of her ear. "All I remember Lolla saying was that it's all about the nookie."
"Who's Lolla, Su-chan?" Kitsune asked.
"She's my step-mum, she's married to my dad with my mum," Kaolla explained. "When you're the King of Molmol, you can marry as many women as you want."
"Oh, I see..." the residents of the Inn nodded in unison.
"But I don't know what we'll be doing in the case of Keitaro, seeing as he won't be king," the tanned girl shrugged. "But I do know that as queen, I don't want lots of husbands. That would just be weird."
Keitaro wore a look of relief when he heard that. He didn't like the idea of sharing Su with other, more suitable and no doubt more desirable men. 'Gah, I can't believe that I even thought about Su in that way... damn, I am a pervert.'
"Keitaro, is something wrong?" Kaolla asked. She peered into to her fiancé's eyes. "Are you feeling alright?"
"Y-yeah, I'm just still a bit bewildered why you would want to be married to me," the ronin answered. "Why did you pick me again? I mean I'm not nobility, I'm clumsy, I'm not doing so well with my studies..."
"You're also a decent guy at heart," the princess interrupted, placing a finger on his lips. "That and I saw your man-banana the other day."
"Man-banana?" Kitsune asked with a smirk. "So, is Keitaro generously equipped?"
"Kitsune!" Motoko protested. "Don't say things like that, you'll put ideas in his head!"
"Urashima," Naru growled as she edged towards her landlord, her hand clenched into a fist. "You had better not have exposed yourself to Su-chan..."
"I didn't!" Keitaro insisted.
"Aauuu, I wish Sempai would expose himself to me..." Shinobu mumbled with a blush.
A deafening silence descended on the bathing area.
"I-I-I just said that out loud, didn't I?" the chef asked rhetorically as she willed the earth to open up and swallow her whole there and then.
The assembled residents nodded slowly.
Kaolla displayed her true strength and hoisted the bewildered man onto her shoulder in a fireman's carry and ran off to her room. "No, Keitaro is my toy! I get to play with him first!"
"Hey, don't I get any say in this?" Keitaro protested as he watched his friends slowly shrink into the distance.
"Hey, come back with my brother!" a new voice called out, causing the princess to skid to a halt.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Kanako," the girl introduced. "Are you that Su girl that's planning on taking my brother away?"
"Kanako-chan, what are you doing here?" Keitaro asked after he managed to climb off the slender girl who was carrying him so effortlessly.
"Well, Onii-chan," Kanako said with her arms folded across her chest, "I'm here to find out what's going on with you and your sudden engagement."
"Onii-chan? What's an 'Onii-chan'? Are they good to eat?" Kaolla asked innocently.
"'Onii-chan' means 'big brother', Su," Haruka explained walking up to the scene. "I'd rather you didn't run off like that, Kanako-chan, you never know how people are going to react to girls chasing after Keitaro without explanations."
"Sorry, Haruka-san, but you know what a baka Onii-chan is," the gothic girl replied. "So then, this is the girl that's trying to seduce and corrupt my brother, eh? Well, I'm going to need some convincing about this."
The tanned girl walked up to Kanako and examined her closely. "Why don't you want me to marry Keitaro? Did you want to put him to the test first?"
"W-w-w-what?" Kanako spluttered.
"I think you like Keitaro," Kaolla smiled teasingly. "Why should I let you play with Keitaro? He's going to be my husband."
"B-b-but you're just a kid, why do you get to marry Keitaro?" the raven haired Keitaro lover countered.
"Because I asked him first!" the princess beamed happily. "I might share later, but that's only if you're good."
Before anyone could say anything more, the landlord was dragged off to the tanned girl's room.
"Su, what's going on? You've never acted like this before."
"Well the thing is, Keitaro, that I have been starting to think about certain things more and more often," Kaolla explained as she took a seat at her computer.
"What sort of things?" the ronin asked with concern on his face. "Is there anything wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong," the princess replied. She reached over to her small fridge and pulled out a canned drink with her ubiquitous three eyed symbol. "Do you want some energy drink?"
"Err... are you sure you should be drinking energy drinks, Su? I mean you are energetic enough, aren't you?" Keitaro asked hesitantly. 'If Su drinks that stuff who knows what shape I'm going to leave here in...'
"Yeah! I drink this stuff all the time!" Kaolla beamed before she drained the can. She burped softly. "You sure you don't want one? I've got orange, strawberry & banana and mango and melon."
"... I'll try a mango and melon," said the landlord, hoping to get the hyperactive girl to tell him why she had suddenly changed in her attitude towards him. "So then, what sort of things have you been thinking about to change how you look at me?"
"I saw something in the Molmol Guide to Snuu-Snuu," the blonde answered as she pulled out a large leather-bound tome and flicked through the pages. "Here."
Keitaro looked over the indicated paragraph. "Su? Are you sure this isn't a big joke? I mean 'remember, in Molmol, Lolitas molest you' doesn't sound like conventional wisdom."
"WHAT?" a shrill feminine voice demanded 1.1 seconds before the door burst open to reveal two women wearing looks that promised that much violence towards the hapless ronin.
"URASHIMA!" Motoko growled loudly as she stalked towards her target. "What's this I hear about you molesting Lolitas from Molmol?"
The bespectacled youth backed away from the kendoist. "I haven't done anything to Su!"
"Yet," the raven haired girl added with a dangerous glint in her eye. "I will skin you alive if you harm one hair in Su's head."
"Perhaps we should make sure that he doesn't get that chance," Naru added, having gleaned some information about the relationship Kanako was hoping for with Keitaro.
Kaolla frowned as more of the Hinata Sou's residents arrived at her door. Looking over those assembled, she decided to play dirty to maintain her monopoly on Keitaro. "Hey, find your own toy! I'm sure that Kitsune will let you borrow one of hers. She's got a few that are shaped like man-bananas. Though they don't look as tasty as Keitaro's, being made of rubber and plastic..."
The residents of the dorm blinked in unison and slowly turned to look at the tanned girl who was standing next to Kitsune.
"..." The ash blonde girl tried to word something in her defence, but her vocal cords didn't want to work properly and she ended up doing a credible impersonation of a koi.
"Don't be so stingy, Kitsune!" the hyperactive blonde said "innocently" as she elbowed her more voluptuous friend. "If you won't share your toys, why should I share my new favourite?"
"T-those aren't the kind of toys you just share, Su-chan," Kitsune finally managed to stammer out.
"Really? Well in that case, I can't share Keitaro's man-banana with just anyone," the princess said with mock petulance. She cast glance at Motoko and Shinobu as walked over and grabbed her fiancé's arm. "Come on, Keitaro, we're leaving for Molmol. I want you to meet my parents."
"But..." the ronin stammered as he felt his tenants' glares burn holes into him.
"It's not right for you to go off on your own like that," Haruka added, hoping to defuse the situation. She paused in thought for a moment. "Though I suppose that if you had a chaperone, then it wouldn't be so bad... Though who would be best suited?"
"I'll go," Motoko offered. "That way we can be sure that Su will be safe from Keitaro."
"And I'll go to make sure that Onii-chan is safe from Motoko and Su," Kanako chimed in. "You know how he's always being played for a sap and taken advantage of, Haruka-san."
"Hey! We don't always play Keitaro for a sap," Kitsune protested.
"But you do admit that you do play him for a sap and take advantage of him, don't you?" the smoker asked with a grin.
"Urk!" the ash blonde froze when the newly arrived girl shot a look at her that promised much pain and suffering.
"See, that's why I have to protect Onii-chan. He's not going anywhere without me."
Keitaro turned to Su. "Well?"
"Yeah, she can come, she looks like she might be fun to play with. Motoko can come too!" tanned bundle of energy smiled. "Grab your stuff and we can head off to Haneda Airport!"
The Japanese participants of Su's visit home were impressed by the casual display of wealth that was the Molmolian Royal Family's jet. It was a new looking four-engined plane that bore a blue, yellow and silver livery.
"Come on everybody, we need you to get on board so we don't delay the other planes," Kaolla instructed as her fiancé and friends approached the aeroplane.
Keitaro was somewhat dazed but still managed to do as he was told. "Such a shiny plane. Are you sure this is ok, Su? I thought we were going to fly on a commercial airline, rather than the Royal Family's private jet."
"Yeah, turns out that daddy's really anxious to see you and sent the jet. Come over here, I want you to sit next to me."
"I have already warned you about harming Su," Motoko growled. "I would hate to have to shed your blood on foreign soil."
"You harm Onii-chan and I'll make your life a misery," Kanako cautioned from behind the kendoist.
"Calm down, Keitaro's got enough man-banana to go around!" Kaolla chirped happily.
That little statement caused a ripple of comment throughout the cabin crew.
"The Princess has already chosen her mate?"
"This must be a special run to bring them over for the engagement party."
"It's a relief after what happened to Princess Amalla's fiancé."
The captain smiled. "Oh well, they'll be plenty of time to discuss this later. It's time for us to take off."
As the travellers sat down, Kanako was not happy about the way the blonde was draping herself over her brother. 'I wanted to join the Mile High Club with Onii-chan...'
Motoko disliked the way that Su had taken a shine to Keitaro. 'I don't know what it is she sees in Urashima. I know he's kind, patient, forgiving, generous to a fault...'
The kendoist paused as it hit her. 'I'm falling for that, that ronin! Curses!'
"Is something wrong, Motoko-chan?" Keitaro asked.
"Everything is fine," the Shinmeiryu practitioner lied through her gritted teeth.
"How about you, Kanako-chan?"
"I'm fine, Onii-chan, but why didn't you tell me that you had fiancée?" the angry girl asked with a glare that was directed at the princess.
"I didn't know that was happening," the ronin insisted.
"Mmm, a Keitaro makes a good pillow," Kaolla mumbled as she moved herself into a more comfortable position and rested her head on Keitaro's lap. "Mmm, man-banana for breakfast..."
The native Japanese in the cabin blinked and turned to the now snoring girl.
"'Man-bananas for breakfast'? And you say there was nothing going on between the two of you?" Kanako accused angrily.
"I swear it, Kanako-chan!"
"You know, you seem awfully close for siblings," Motoko mused.
"She's adopted," the ronin answered. "Her parents were friends of mine and we adopted her after they passed away. I'm sorry about springing this on you, Kanako-chan."
"... I suppose I could forgive you eventually. At least you haven't picked a violent maniac for a fiancée."
"Mmm, Keitaro-baby, I'll protect you with the latest Mecha Tama!" Kaolla mumbled in her sleep. As she stirred slightly, she brought her hand up near her face and rubbed gently against Keitaro's thigh.
"That's interesting, Urashima," the kendoist said dryly. "So, do you intend to have Su protect you often?"
Keitaro stammered a protest until his fiancée stirred in her sleep again.
"Motoko, I need you to protect Keitaro with me... there are these assassins that try to sneak into the bedroom... need you in bed with me and my Keitaro... "
It was Motoko's turn to blush furiously.
"I'll help protect you, Onii-chan," Kanako enthused. "You know I'll always look out for you, Onii-chan."
"I don't think that would be appropriate, Kanako," the kendoist replied. "You are his sister after all."
"But I'm not related by blood," Keitaro's sister grinned. "And since you obviously don't care about him, I'll take that role."
"I do care about Keitaro!" Motoko insisted. "It's just that he has a tendency to grab and grope women. It's most distressing!"
Out of sight of the passengers, two female members of the cabin crew turned to each other and smiled.
"Ah, this Prince Consort likes women."
"It makes an improvement on the last one, though they do look similar..."
"I think he's kind of cute, in a hopeless way."
"Well, the Princess did say that he had a big enough man-banana to go around, perhaps you could get yourself in with the Royal Harem?"
The rest of the flight passed uneventfully. Well, aside from when Keitaro left to use the toilet and accidentally walked in on Kanako.
"'You wanted to join the Mile High Club with me, Onii-chan?'" the ronin remembered with a shudder.
It wasn't that his adopted sister was unattractive, but he really wasn't comfortable with seeing her in mid urination, especially when Motoko approached him with murderous intent in her eyes.
It was only Kaolla's comment of "Did you want to tell Keitaro about last night, Motoko?" that prevented bloodshed.
Luckily for the kendoist, Keitaro had been too preoccupied with not soiling himself in front of everybody that he didn't think to ask any details about the previous night.
Motoko sat away from her landlord, but kept a watchful eye on him. She had to make sure that he didn't molest Su or take advantage of that girl that claimed to be his sister.
The Royal Molmol jet approached the last thousand kilometres of its homeward-bound journey.
The pilots were chatting away, discussing the merits of the latest stunt on Top Gear - seeing what weapon worked best for shooting down flying caravans - when a light on the controls started flashing alerting them to an engine problem.
"Crap, engine two is overheating, I'm going to have to throttle down. Call Molmol and let them know what's happening," the pilot ordered.
"Roger that," the co-pilot nodded. "TIX, this is MOL03 inbound from Tokyo Haneda, we are having some engine problems, we're going to have to reduce speed because engine two is running hot."
"¬MOL03, this is TIX Control, we read you loud and clear. We've got your current speed at 960 km/h and ETA for landing 15.37.¬"
"Roger that, reducing airspeed to 875 km/h, new ETA will be 15.47."
A new alarm sounded, and this one was much louder and urgent sounding.
"TIX, we're losing hydraulic pressure and the engine throttle seems stuck. This is going to be a challenge to bring this down in one piece," the pilot grimaced.
"¬We copy that, MOL03. Do you think you can bring this in?¬"
"Negative TIX, according to my altimeter, I just lost 500 metres on level flight. Either my artificial horizon or my altimeter are screwed up. I can see a small island it looks like it's 300km on a bearing of 118 degrees, I'm going to have to bring this one down for an emergency landing."
"¬MOL03, this is TIX, we copy that and are alerting the navy for search and rescue.¬"

Been a few days since my last post, but here I am! The box below is the box that goes to the cards in the previous 2 posts. It is a very simple box to make and as you can see, there is a window in it to show off the cards inside.
The boxes above are ones that I made for my mother and mother-in-law for Mother's Day. This was also our stamp club project for May. This is also a super simple template to make and you can change it up to any occasion. The template came from my uplines, Kim and Bev. The butterflies were made using the "Beautiful Butterflies" Die for the Big Shot. We also made a set of matching cards to go inside of it. I will share those in the next post. These boxes are awesome projects and I will be posting some more samples using our Textured DSP.

A fearsome fish has started killing people after feeding on human corpses, scientists fear.
They reckon that a huge type of catfish, called a goonch, may have developed a taste for flesh in an Indian river where bodies are dumped after funerals.
The extraordinary creature has been investigated by biologist Jeremy Wade for a TV documentary to be shown in Britain.
He caught one which tipped the scales at 161 lbs and was nearly 6 feet long — a world record weight and far bigger than any landed before.
"If that got hold of you, there'd be no getting away," he said.

Consider starting graduate school during your senior year with the Accelerated MBA Program at Dominican University's Brennan School of Business!
Qualified students may be able to complete the bachelor's degree and the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree in a total of five calendar years.
How does it work?
During your senior year, you can complete two courses that will count toward both your bachelor's degree and master's degree. This can save you both the time and tuition of two courses in graduate school.
When do I apply?
We encourage you to apply for the Accelerated MBA Program before the end of your junior year. Students must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0. Your file will be reviewed after you have completed 90 credit hours and have achieved senior status. If accepted, a representative from the Brennan School of Business will contact you to discuss your courses for the upcoming semester. Accelerated MBA students are not eligible to register for online MBA courses.
What about the GMAT?
A satisfactory GMAT score is required for full acceptance to the MBA program. You may be accepted provisionally into the Accelerated MBA program without a GMAT score as long as you provide an acceptable score before the first semester you are registered as a graduate student.
Do I have to start my MBA program right after I complete my bachelor's degree?
No. You can begin your MBA program within a reasonable time after you complete your bachelor's degree. You will be subject to the MBA curriculum in place at the time you begin as a graduate student.
How many courses are required to complete an MBA?
The maximum number of courses is 20 (or 46 credit hours). If you complete two graduate courses during your senior year, you will have only 18 courses (or 40 credit hours) remaining.
In addition, six of the total 18 courses are considered foundation courses, each of which can be waived if you earn a B or better in an equivalent course or courses at the undergraduate level.
For the student who is waived from all 6 courses and who completes two additional courses in the Accelerated MBA Program, only 12 courses (or 34 credit hours) remain for the completion of the degree. This creates a significant savings of time and money!
During the undergraduate program, the equivalent of the six MBA foundation courses may be taken. Students are encouraged to apply to the BA/MBA or BS/MBA before the end of their junior year. Accepted students may enroll in two MBA courses during their senior year, one course each semester, and credit will be given toward the undergraduate degree. The remaining twelve graduate business courses may be taken upon completion of their undergraduate degree.
Undergraduate Course Equivalents

Whenever anybody talks about a new gallery district in Chicago, they tend to forget one that is already in operation and surviving.
True, it`s not large or splashy in the style of River North. Nor is it quite as bare-boned as West Town, the area pioneered by some of Chicago`s better-known cooperatives.

In September 1832, during the first year of its mission, the Beagle anchored near Bahía Blanca, a settlement at the head of a bay about 400 miles southwest of Buenos Aires. A certain General Rosas was waging a genocidal war against the Indians, and Bahía Blanca stood as a fortified outpost, occupied mostly by soldiers. For more than a month the Beagle remained in that area, some of its crew occupied with surveying, others assigned to shore duties—digging a well, gathering firewood, hunting for meat. The landscape round about was classic Argentine Pampas, fertile grassland, giving way to grass-anchored sand dunes along the coast. The hunters brought back deer, agoutis, and other game, including several armadillos and a large flightless bird Darwin loosely called an "ostrich." Of course it wasn't an ostrich (which is native to Africa, and formerly the Middle East); it was a rhea, specifically Rhea americana, ostrichlike in appearance but endemic to South America and the heaviest bird on the continent.
"What we had for dinner to day would sound very odd in England," Darwin wrote in his diary on September 18, reveling in the exoticism of his new regimen: "Ostrich dumpling & Armadilloes." He was out for a romping adventure, not just a natural history field trip, and his shipboard diary (later transformed into a travel book that came to be known as The Voyage of the Beagle) reflects his attention to cultures, peoples, politics, as well as to science. The red meat of the big bird resembled beef, he recorded. The armadillos, peeled out of their shells, tasted and looked like ducks. His culinary experiences here on the Pampas, and later in Patagonia, besides being part of his voracious tour of discovery, would eventually play a role in his evolutionary thinking.
A few days afterward, on September 22, 1832, Darwin and Fitzroy took a small boat to visit a site called Punta Alta, ten miles from their anchorage, where they found some rocky outcrops overlooking the water. "These are the first I have seen," Darwin wrote, "& are very interesting from containing numerous shells & the bones of large animals."
Despite the name, Punta Alta ("high point") was not very high, its reddish mudstone cliff rising only about 20 feet. But if the headland wasn't dramatic, the exposed fossils were: big shapes, unusual shapes, and abundant. Darwin and a helper went to work on the soft rock with pickaxes. Between that session and later efforts, he harvested from Punta Alta the remains of nine great mammals, all unknown or barely known to science. They were extinct Pleistocene giants, unique to the Americas in an age sometime before 12,000 years ago.

Tali betrayed me, BioWare betrayed me!
Yes, this IS a rant… (not about the ending though, this is about LOVE and CHOICE).
I've just gotten around to playing Mass Effect 3 single player campaign (the life of a games is busy these days and I still have some catch-up to do) and after 20+ hours I found Tali, my love, cheating on me with Garrus!
Why Tali, why?
Now I admit Garrus is quite a good-looking fellow and I also know she is innocent.
She's totally oblivious of our previous relationship.
"How did that happen?", you're wondering…
Well, I played ME1 on the PC, as I didn't have an Xbox at the time and personally loved the interface and feel, so much that I bought ME2 for the PC as well, even though I did have an Xbox at the time (ME2 had been seriously optimized for console/pad though, compared to the first chapter).
I'm not sure how people usually manage their PCs but personally I do upgrade every few years, get new and faster Hard drives when there's a chance and rarely keep the same Windows install for more than 1 year.
So by the time I played ME2 I didn't have anything to import.
No worries though, the introductory comic did take care of the choices I made in the previous chapter.
Mass Effect becoming available on the PS3 was a huge boon for me, as it is my primary gaming console, so I obviously jumped at ME3 for PS3 (even because of the multiplayer).
So, I didn't have any previous import this time as well, but no introductory comic either… I just got to choose I saved Alenko and that was about it.
I didn't realize, at the time, that I was NOT going to play the final chapter of MY saga, but rather I would be playing BioWare's choices.
Honestly I'm really puzzled… why wouldn't they offer a summary of previous choices?
Why didn't they offer to choose who had previously been your romance? Who you had saved rather than abandoned?
I SAVED Wrex in ME1 and met with him as head of Clan Urdnot in ME2 and now he is dead…
I had SAVED the Rachni queen, fascinated by the song she shared with her whole race and now I had killed her.
And I had had a romance with Tali and now she's flirting with Garrus.
Was this a wise decision by BioWare? Not to offer a choice from the storyline told in the previous chapters to new players?
Or rather, to players that did NOT have a save to import.
I didn't care for the experience or boosts, but I DID care for my choices. They're what made the saga MY saga.
Sure, I'm part of a minority but honestly, in the timespan of some years, is not so unlikely to have HD failures, console failures, to decide to switch gaming platform and so on.
I think that out there, there's players like me that played the whole saga, that wrote their own story but that (for any reason) didn't have a file to import.
And we lost our choices, we lost our story and saga.
Why would BioWare offer a choices-comic-recap for ME2 but not for the final chapter?
Does it make any sense?
Why would they ignore us?
It's a rant.
I don't care I could have checked on the internet, I don't spoil myself about games I love.
I don't care I should have played ME2 again on PS3, didn't make any sense (if I knew how things would go, I probably would have done it, too late now though).
And I'm really pissed off right now: because Wrex had died and I could not save Eve (probably the only krogan I ever cared for) and I have to deal with this hideous Wreav guy that I can't stand.
Because there's this aura of machismo in the air that's for developing teenagers ("Hell yeah!" WTF).
Because instead of romancing Tali I can romance this useless journalist chick (the did outsource her model to a low cost Chinese company, didn't they? Her stance is awful) by asking her to jump in bed (machismo again).
Apart from a virtual broken heart, the point here is: there are choice that are made during the development of a game that can really change the experience for users.
With Mass Effect, BioWare wanted to create a grandiose sci-fi saga, which they did, and then fall short so miserably by forgetting to give every player the chance to feel like the major player/writer of this saga.
Lack of time? Maybe, since many of the releases of this last part of the current generation feel rushed in a way or another.
Certainly anyway, lack of vision, cutting "unnecessary options", giving a little less than a little more. That was really a pity.
And so… the final chapter of the saga for me ends with a "meh".
I still love the Mass Effect universe though, that's for granted… just not BioWare :P!
I'm not sure if this is how Bioware did it or not, but this is how I would have done it if I was them. Figure out what happened most often and make that the default. Did more gamers save Wrex or kill him, and did more gamers romance Ashley or Laura? Get a record of these, and bioware could have do it(the just released an infographic on the choices from Me3), and make it the default choice for people who don't import.
Correct me if I am wrong as it's been awhile since I finished this series but dosen't EVE's survival depend on wether you keep or destroy Maelon's data in Mass Effect 2 and then you have to get her extracted during that Cerberus onslaught? And are you sure there wasn't an option to save or destroy Maelon's data if you don't have a save from ME2? I imported my save from ME2(PS3) with the Platinum so everything worked out perfect for me as far as choices in who lived, died and romanced(miranda), so I can't say I have any regret in the series other than the underwhelming ending. Maybe you should pick up the trilogy and have another go to get the bad taste out of your mouth.
I totally agree with you (theChickGamer). Bioware didn't pay too much attention to those details and now you (and people like you) just cannot have the "right ride" over 3 chapters and 5 years of gaming, just because something goes wrong.
I have a similar experience, but I was lucky to found the time to play again and again the game :
ME1 - first on X360 then PC
ME2 - first on PC then PS3 (thanks to the comics)
ME3 - PS3 and I play the story exactly as I "planned"
I already checked all those place and forum ... there is no way for Ps3 user.
Btw, I play a lot around the save editor ... on pc.

"It's a lot of work," said Tatiana Lambert.
But 17-year-old Tatiana Lambert is enjoying growing and eating healthy foods.
"I wasn't really good at eating before. Like I would like not really like homemade meals. I didn't like cooking much and so I ate a lot of fast food, Chinese things like that," Lambert said.
"Besides growing vegetables here we're trying to grow teenagers and we want to give them lots of opportunities to develop social skills, job skills that will help them out in school," said David Sapphire, from the Learn it, Grow it, Eat it program.
And they're getting paid, ten dollars an hour, 24 hours a week. Once a week they cook what they've grown.
"We cook healthy things. We grow and we cook it. I've been eating it, it's good. We do everything in our garden. We learn too much," said 18-year old, Al Hassan Yaya.
And today, the cooking is being done for them, but by chefs from the famed Gotham Bar and Grill. The restaurant values local produce and this gardening program. The restaurant donates to it as well. This meal is just a nice treat.
"We thought it would be fun to kinda say okay, you guys worked all summer, let us cook you a little lunch with what you've grown and do maybe what a chef would do with the food," said Bret Csencsitz, General Manager of Gotham Bar and Grill.
A gourmet lunch, much of it grown here, cooked here and now eaten here as well.
"At least what we're doing is actually helping somebody. Its helping us, a lot," Lambert said.

The Juneau Assembly on Monday voted to purchase land in the Mendenhall Valley for a new library or other public purpose, although the issue could come back for reconsideration.
By a 6-3 vote, the Assembly voted to purchase 2.3 acres of property near the intersection of Egan Drive and Riverside Drive from Faith Lutheran Church and a nearby, .36-acre parcel owned by Don and Robert Peterson for a total cost of $430,000. The money would come from the city's land fund.
Assembly members John MacKinnon, Dale Anderson and Don Etheridge voted against the purchase.
MacKinnon gave notice of reconsideration at the end of the meeting, so the issue could come back at the Assembly's next regular meeting. A motion to reconsider the vote immediately failed.
Depending on the results of today's election, MacKinnon said the vote could go his way in two weeks. He did not run for re-election this fall because of term limits.
"I just think it's a poor decision to buy a piece of land speculatively," he said. "Since 1990, the city has purchased over $11 million worth of property and only sold $6 million worth of property. It gets a little frustrating."
A new valley library was included in plans for the Dimond Park complex on Riverside Drive, but was taken out in 1999 because of site constraints, according to library supporters. Friends of the Library President Bridget Smith said the group was delighted the Assembly approved the land purchase.
"We need a new library and this is a wonderful site. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us," she said.
The city leases 7,160 square feet in the Mendenhall Center, previously called the Mendenhall Mall, for the valley library at $13,229 a month. Funding is not available to construct a new building, according to Library Director Carol McCabe, and a decision to build would be made by voters in a future election. The city will discuss space options with the mall's owners Wednesday, she said.
"We've been there for 18 years and we'll be there for many more," she said.
McCabe said the library is looking for a better space for children, more room for books, increased visibility, improved ventilation and more seating.
Valley resident Chuck Seslar asked the Assembly to look at all of the costs that will go into the land purchase.
"The problem I have is do we really need additional space? If we do, I know it is available. Look at the Mendenhall Mall," he said.
The Faith Lutheran Church congregation has approved the sale. Karl Mielke, president of the congregation, said the church borrowed money for a school expansion and its current revenues are inadequate to cover mortgage payments. Selling the land would help the church repay the loan and make other repairs, he said.
Architect Paul Voelkers said the site will allow for an extension of Riverside Drive and traffic improvements. The city will need to spend an estimated $420,000 for site preparation, a figure that doesn't include utility improvements, he said.

This U.S. holiday can actually trace its origin back to a palace in France. On June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles, World War I was at its end with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. According to the United States Veteran Affairs, fighting ceased seven months earlier, on Nov. 11, 1918. It was the year 1919 when President Woodrow Wilson declared November, 11 Armistice Day.
Congress named November, 11 a legal holiday in 1938. While the holiday was meant to commemorate World War I veterans, its meaning was broadened following World War II. The 83rd Congress changed Armistice Day to Veterans Day because of this its broadning. On Nov. 11, 1954, the United States celebrated the first Veterans Day, designed to honor all veterans who serve in a war.

A Guide to Resetting BIOS Passwords
Following generated password/s may help:
* on certain models of Dell, press Ctrl + Enter, not Enter, after entering the BIOS password
One of the most common problems faced by users is changing or resetting BIOS passwords. Understand the ways to reset BIOS passwords and gain better control of your system.
If you want to use your computer more effectively, knowing how to reset BIOS passwords will be important. This is especially true if yours is the type that requires you to enter that information prior to launching the system. Other setups will also demand it if you try to reconfigure something.
There are several methods available but they are generally divided into three categories. The first is by using software, the other by hardware and the backdoor.
The Backdoor Method
This is probably the easiest way although not all manufacturers avail of it. Basically the idea is to have a password that will work at all times. In other words, if the user forgets what the phrase he or she entered is, the technician will enter this code and get into the system. This makes it easy to reset BIOS passwords. Again not all companies use this option. You can ask their technical support staff if they utilize it.
The Software Method
When you start your computer, the password is embedded in the memory. This is not your ordinary RAM, but CMOS. The information is kept in one of the memory blocks there. There are some applications that can detect the data. Some of the more popular ones are !BIOS and CmosPwd. Keep in mind that due to the different setups, they can recover only those on certain computers.
The Hardware Method
The final way to get the information is by tinkering with the hardware. Bear in mind though, that this is the most difficult way to reset BIOS passwords. If you have no experience, you might damage a peripheral. Hence you need to be careful.
What you need to do is remove the CMOS battery. That is where the information is kept. By taking out the battery the data there will be lost, allowing you to reconfigure everything.
The CMOS is usually set somewhere on the motherboard. In some cases you can just unscrew it. If it is fused, look for the jumper. Get your motherboard user guide. There is information identifying the jumper for the CMOS. When you see it, pull it, and all data will be erased. This allows you to reset BIOS passwords again.
If you do not have the user guide, go over the labels. Some boards mark their jumpers to indicate functions. Usually it is the one nearest to the CMOS battery itself.
If you don't want to change the CMOS, you can disable the Real Time Clock. Most of these use a battery. By taking them out, all information at the lower levels are lost, making it easier to reconfigure the system. If you have the manual for the Real Time Clock, you can also obtain information about recovering lost information and data.
Needless to say the computer must be turned off before attempting any of these procedures. Most computer users will probably want to leave this matter to technicians and experts.
That may be the wise thing to do but knowing how to reset BIOS passwords can be handy. After all you will never know when you will be faced with such a situation.

Q: I am 41 years old and I have slightly dry to combination skin with no lines or wrinkles. However, I have recently changed my moisturiser from Elemis (Pro Collagen Marine Cream) to L'Occitane Divine Cream and have broken out in spots; the spots are so severe that I have had to stop using the cream. Which cream would you suggest that i use to help reduce the appearance of the very noticeable spots and scaring that now exist?
Q: I've just started using the Australian bodycare facewash and I seem to be breaking out a lot more. Is this normal at first?
Alison: No, this isn't normal at first. With its antiseptic properties, the ABC Skinwash must be followed by a moisturiser, in order to balance it out.
If you aren't keen on cream moisturisers, you could try a gel version, such as SBC Aloe Vera Gel. Or if you'd prefer a lightweight cream option, then try Philosophy Hope in a Jar.
You should then start to see the benefits of the tea tree oil on your spots, as well as the hydration of a moisturiser.

Obama promises justice for slain U.S. ambassador
Investigation under way into possibility that mob attack cloaked terror hit
Published 11:15 pm, Wednesday, September 12, 2012
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration, roiled by the first killing of a U.S. ambassador in more than 30 years, is investigating whether the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Libya was a planned terrorist strike to mark the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and not a spontaneous mob enraged over an anti-Islam YouTube video.
President Barack Obama declared in a White House appearance that the U.S. would "work with the Libyan government to bring to justice" those who killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. The attack on the Benghazi consulate was "a planned, coordinated, well-executed military style event," House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers said.
In a show of force, the Pentagon moved two warships to the Libyan coast. Officials said one destroyer, the USS Laboon, moved to a position off the coast Wednesday, and the destroyer USS McFaul was en route and should be stationed off the coast within days, increasing the number of Navy destroyers in the Mediterranean from four to five.
Officials said the ships, which carry Tomahawk cruise missiles, do not have a specific mission. But they give commanders flexibility to respond to any mission ordered by the president.
Pentagon spokesman George Little said, "Without commenting on specific ship movements, the United States military regularly takes precautionary steps when potential contingencies might arise in a given situation. That's not only logical in certain circumstances, it's the prudent thing to do."
At the same time, some 50 U.S. Marines headed to Libya to reinforce security at U.S. diplomatic facilities, initially at the American embassy in Tripoli, not Benghazi.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss troop movements.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said it was too early to judge whether the Benghazi attack was planned.
"I know that this is being investigated, and we're working with the Libyan government to investigate the incident. I would not want to speculate on that at this time," he said. Several Libyan security guards also were killed.
Rogers, R-Mich., said U.S. intelligence had not yet determined who was responsible, but added, "Our list is narrowing."
"When you see (such an attack), it wasn't some folks who had some guns in their garage and said let's shoot up the consulate," Rogers said in an interview Wednesday.
The FBI was sending evidence teams to Libya, said a law enforcement official.
Analysts are working on several different scenarios based on intelligence that could lead to a motive for the attack. Some concern the possibility of targeting high-ranking officials, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation. But none of the intelligence has suggested terrorists would specifically target Stevens, said the official who also spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation.
The attack in Libya, which came hours after a mob stormed the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and tore down the U.S. flag, was presumed to have been triggered by a movie, whose trailer has gone viral on YouTube, depicting the Islamic prophet Muhammad in disrespectful ways. In an extraordinary move, Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called anti-Islamic preacher Terry Jones and asked him to stop promoting the film. A spokeswoman said the church would not show the film Wednesday evening.
"Make no mistake. Justice will be done," a somber Obama pledged at the White House, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at his side.
He ordered increased security at U.S. diplomatic missions overseas, particularly in Libya, and said he condemned "in the strongest possible terms the outrageous and shocking" attack. Clinton said she was particularly appalled that the attack took place in Benghazi, which the U.S. had helped liberate from dictator Moammar Gadhafi during the Arab Spring revolution.

Paulo, We are presently evaluating one of a new series of pumps from Edwards which they believe will be more resistant to corrosion. They are the RV series and we are trying an RV5 for drying down sequencing gels, ie lots of Acetic Acid. We are NOT using a cold trap and the pump has an Outlet mist filter to trap oil droplets in the exhaust. We have found that the exhaust does need to be vented to the outside or a fume cupboard but after some months of running the pump still pulls an extremely good vacuum. A representative from our local supplier and one from Edwards are overseeing the test and will soon take the pump away to dismantle it and inspect for corrosion. These pumps have simple controls for high vacuum or high throughput applications. The representatives are currently suggesting 3 monthly oil changes. When the pump has been dismantled and examined we are considering putting together a publication of some sort in the laboratory equipment press to report our findings but watch this newsgroup for further developments.

UPDATE as of 4:11 p.m. Evidence of the marijuana grow was seized from the house and a report will be sent to Pierce County prosecutors, Puyallup police spokesman Scott Engle said.
INITIAL POST: A marijuana grow was uncovered inside a Puyallup home this morning after the house caught fire.
Someone renting the home called 911 about 8:25 a.m. to report seeing smoke coming from the roof in the 800 block of 5th Street Southeast. Fire crews were able to quickly knock down the blaze.
No one was injured. Investigators haven't figured out what started the fire but it is believed to be accidental, Central Pierce Fire & Rescue Assistant Chief Randy Stephens said.
Puyallup police are handling the marijuana investigation.
Capt. Scott Engle said it's unknown at this point how many pot plants were being grown in one of the bedrooms.
"We're trying to determine if it's a legal marijuana grow or not," he said.
