Email messages are captured by ZixDLP Insight based on out-of-the-box or custom policy configurations.

ORU's season ends in Fayetteville Regional
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. —
The Oral Roberts baseball team had 11th-ranked Arkansas on the ropes Sunday afternoon before the top seed rallied back for a 4-3 victory in an elimination game in the NCAA Fayetteville Regional at Baum Stadium.
The Golden Eagles put up a three-run bottom of the fourth as Noah Cummings and Brent Williams launched consecutive pitches for back-to-back home runs. Sam Grellner followed with a RBI single as the "home" team in the contest silenced the near-capacity crowd, but the Razorbacks responded by matching with three runs in the fifth. Arkansas' home run leader, Chad Spanberger, broke the 3-3 deadlock in the seventh hitting a solo shot into right.
ORU starter Justin McGregor was in command from the opening pitch, despite another significant rain delay before the game got underway, this time lasting nearly two hours. The junior retired the first eight Razorback hitters before running into trouble in the fifth. The Golden Eagles' bullpen threw the final 4.3 innings surrendering only three hits to stay within striking distance.

Whether it's playing the slot games, trying your luck on the roulette wheel or hoping the next card in Blackjack is going to be a lucky one, you will enjoy playing at the Unibet casino. It's the view of this Unibet review that there is an excellent range of top games on offer.
Slot fans have the chance to play games such as 'Starburst.' 'Rainbow Riches' and 'Cool Jewels' at the Unibet casino, With software provided by companies including Microgaming and NetEnt, you are guaranteed an exciting selection of games to play. There are also games exclusive to the Unibet site such as 'Leprechaun Goes to Hell' as well as Jackpot games such as 'Mega Moolah' where you could become a millionaire on one spin of the reels.
If it's table games you want to play then this Unibet review is of the opinion there is an impressive selection of Roulette, Baccarat, Poker, and Blackjack games to play. Not just the classic games but plenty that has a little bit of a variation on the games you know. For example, there's 'European Roulette,' 'Blackjack Perfect Pairs' and 'Oasis Poker.'
This Unibet review began with mentioning trips to the local casino. Well, the Unibet site has an entertaining Live Casino on offer. A bit like going down that local venue but without all the travel costs and taking ages to get home. It has your favourite casino games and some attractive dealers too. There is also a good selection of bingo games on the Unibet Casino site. Eyes down for a wide variety of bingo games and tournaments.
This Unibet review is pleased to see that there's information available about all the games and you can either play for fun or for real. Playing for fun gives you a good chance to learn how the games play (as many will be new to you) before risking your real cash.
Other promotions
The Unibet site always has other promotions for its customers though this Unibet review has to say I've seen others with more. When you sign up for the Unibet casino you receive ten free spins to play on selected games. This amount of free spins increases when you make your initial deposit. £10 can see you getting 40 free spins all the way up to 190 for a £100 deposit. Winnings from those free spins expire in 30 days and are subject to a 35x wagering requirement so it's probably back to playing slots and bingo to satisfy that wagering requirement.
Every Tuesday, Unibet gives away a share of £700 in cash drops. Players need to wager at least £10 on selected games (£5 on the mobile site) and that gets you entered into a prize draw. They vary from £3 to £14 per player.
There's a variety of tournaments on the site and also Sunday Funday. If you wager at least £10 on your mobile device every Sunday on selected games, you receive ten free spins to use on those games and winnings are subjected to a 25x wagering requirement.
Also on the Unibet Casino there is the VIP programme. You need to be invited to this and it is for loyal customers who use multiple Unibet products. Once you are a member you are allocated a special account manager and treats could include going to the Champions League Final or Monaco Grand Prix. Why not a usual VIP loyalty points scheme?
Software and usability
The Unibet Casino can be played online and on your mobile devices. This isn't a casino that has to be downloaded onto your PC. You require flash player and there is a Unibet Casino app. To get hold of that access a simple page which has all the necessary information and links.
Payment options
The deposit and withdrawal methods for the Unibet Casino are Bank Wire Transfer, Maestro, MasterCard, Neteller, Paysafe Card, Ukash, Visa Electron, Visa and Skrill. The only fees charged are 3% on a Paysafe Card. The minimum deposits are £5 for all except bank transfers where there is no minimum and the maximum withdrawal with a debit/credit card is £50,000 and again no limit with a bank transfer. There is a wide range of currencies that can be used on the Unibet site including Pound sterling, US Dollars, and Euros and this Unibet review is impressed by that..
Customer service
There is plenty of help available on the Unibet site. There is a dedicated help page packed with information. Also, there's the Unibet community page that has plenty of threads about queries made by customers.
The Unibet site also offers a Live Chat facility. This is available 24/7 so hopefully they will be able to deal with your bonus related queries. It is also possible to call their Freephone number 0800 329 393 or their international number 0207 257 8701 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. A quick look around the web shows that there is a great deal of satisfaction with the customer support available at Unibet.
Unibet casino review: overall rating
This Unibet review concludes that there is plenty to enjoy about the Unibet Casino. It has a good welcome offer and although it has a high wagering requirement it is able to satisfy it. The selection of games is impressive and there are some good promotions here but the Unibet casino could have a better loyalty program. Even so, this site is definitely recommended.

I want to tell you why I have decided to endorse Sen. Bernie Sanders in his race for the White House.
First, it is not because I believe that Secretary Clinton would not stand for our values as president. Let's be direct. This next election is about the Supreme Court —a supreme court that has eroded our trust in our electoral system, the health of our environment and which would further undermined a woman's right to choose if a Republican becomes president.
I believe that our party has two candidates for president who will do the right thing when it comes to the Supreme Court. In that way, we are very fortunate. We should not allow small differences between our candidates to sour our unprecedented opportunity in the general election.
Further, despite the relentless media focus on the xenophobic, racist and myopic views of the leading GOP candidates, I do believe that the majority of Americans are compassionate, innovative and tolerant.
They are calling out to eradicate the virus of dark money, to fight global warming, to teach every one of our nation's children, to help the poor move up rather than further down and to rebuild our country's infrastructure with the ingenuity that I know we possess.
In Bernie Sanders I see a willingness to speak truth to power and to change those things which our current leaders tell us cannot be changed.
For our country to grown and evolve, we Democrats must shake off the rusted leg irons that we have worn for so long, which have restricted our ability to fight for what we believe. We must be able to explain to our fellow Americans that the solution to poorly-run government is not the chaos and insecurity of no government, rather it is through responsive and well-designed government.
We must not fear asking those who have found unimaginable levels of wealth through an economic system designed to make the rich only richer to look beyond their own self interest toward the enlightenment of a country that is educated, healthy and safe.
We must stand by our values of tolerance, community and family and be willing to explain our views to a public that is constantly bombarded with the language of intolerance, selfishness and division.
It seems that long ago, Americans forgot the true power of international diplomacy, backed by a strong defense. Instead, we have endured the deaths of our fellow Americans and the loss of our treasure, which has come from the opposite: the use of force followed by diplomacy only as an after-thought.
I hear you say, "But Sanders can't speak to middle America in order to beat the GOP candidates. And if he does, Congress will not budge to enact his vision."
The prospect of losing the election this year or the potential of impotence before the power of Congress next year has definitely crossed my mind. To be honest, it has been the one factor that kept me from endorsing Sen. Sanders until now.
But as the campaign has progressed, I've seen and heard of so many Americans who are crossing party lines for Sen. Sanders. They see that the march toward government, a la Ayn Rand has failed and we need to think again as a community.
Further, I am certain that a recalcitrant Congress in 2017 will resist a President Clinton no less than they would a President Sanders or that they have President Obama. The intolerance and misinformation of the extreme wing of the Republican party, while weakening every year, will resist anybody short of Ronald Reagan, reincarnate.
So, it comes down to belief. Which candidate do I believe most willing to shake off convention and establishment politics to seek the reforms we sorely need? When I saw Sen. Sanders' speech to Georgetown University late last year, I came to understand better the philosophical bases that drives him, but I also reflected on why I am a Democrat. That was the seed that grew in me the desire to see Sen. Sanders take on the fight for our cause.
After the primary election, I will happily fight for either candidate because I believe that they are both good people and I know what is at stake.
As such, I am happy to endorse Sen. Sanders and I look forward to a positive and respectful primary election, which will strengthen our party and our democracy.

Two departments from Merton Council are in the running to receive prestigious national awards.
The Children Services team and the Sustainable Communities team have both been shortlisted for the Local Government Chronicle Awards 2018.
Just two month ago, Merton Council received an overall rating of "good" from government watchdog Ofsted for its Children's Services Department, putting the local authority among the top performers in the country.
Councillor Katy Neep, who is responsible for children's services, said: "Congratulations to the Children's Services department on being shortlisted for this prestigious local government award. It is a fantastic achievement."
Councillor Martin Whelton, who is responsible for regeneration, environment and housing congratulated the Sustainable Communities team.
He said: "We work hard to make Merton a great place to do business. Our small businesses are the backbone of our local economy and it's always fantastic to see them thrive.

By STEPHEN WHYNOAP Hockey Writer
A person familiar with the decision says Tony Granato will coach the U.S. men's hockey team at the 2018 Olympics, the first Winter Games without NHL players since 1994. Chris Chelios and Scott Young will be among his assistants.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the coaching staff has not been announced. USA Hockey is to announce its coaches and general manager at a news conference Friday in Plymouth, Michigan.
Granato coaches the University of Wisconsin and was an assistant under Dan Bylsma at the 2014 Olympics. The former NHL forward coached the Colorado Avalanche for parts of three seasons and has been an assistant with Colorado, Pittsburgh and Detroit.
ESPN and TSN first reported that Granato will be the U.S. coach.

iOS vs. Android: When it comes to brand loyalty, Android wins
While Apple may have a rep as the brand users would walk across broken glass for, Android users actually have a higher rate of loyalty, according to a new report.
The study from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) shows that 91% of Android owners remain loyal to that mobile OS, compared with 86% of iOS users.
The data was collected as part of quarterly surveys of 500 users that have been performed by CIRP from March 2013 through December 2017. For its latest results, CIRP measured the percentage of customers who remained with each operating system when activating a new phone over twelve months ending December 2017.

How RBS Can Pursue ABN
Scottish Bank Could Bid Against BofA for LaSalle, Link That to a Larger Deal
ABN Amro boss Rijkman Groenink has infuriated his investors by agreeing to sell its U.S. bank, LaSalle Bank in Chicago, without shareholder consent. The LaSalle deal has certainly made it harder for Royal Bank of Scotland and its allies to challenge Barclays's offer for ABN. But it's not impossible.
The best way for Royal Bank to buy all of ABN is to mount a rival bid for LaSalle. Bank of America has already offered $21 billion. This looks pretty daunting. If Royal Bank tries, BofA can still win if it simply matches the Scots'...

If it can't be seen, it won't be used.
This is true for all apps that should be quick to use. ie, a search page should not encourage lots of clicks to reveal lots of options and therefore loads more clicks. My professional experience comes directly from implementing facetted search systems. Search facets tend to take up a lot of space and can be overwhelming for a user if not well designed. For this reason most businesses make the mistake of collapsing the facet and letting the user reveal the facet options on demand. This of course means that the user doesn't know what options they have until they expand the facet. This results in the average user ignoring it completely. Apps that require more time on a page or careful configuration like an advanced options list or settings page can get away with hiding/minimising some things….
A good example for resolving the above problem is by leading the user. The google search page displays (currently) 6 additional search categories on the left side bar and then a 'More' button. Most users will ignore this area and never click the More button but the more adventurous users will read the first 6 options and be keen to see what other search refinements they could make. They have learnt what value that area brings without much effort and are keen to see what might be hidden.
Visual Clutter
This one's rather obvious but I thought I'd mention it anyway. Don't give the user too many options at one time. Limit the actions to 3 at once. A user could decide between clicking 3 different things. In terms of the google search image above, choosing a search category or refinement is 1 action. Choosing to refine the text query is another. I don't even see the advanced search options link anymore. In a standard single page view, I have 2 actions I can take/see to modify my google search.
Setting good defaults.
Perhaps the most important lesson I've learnt which is based on the premise that users are lazy and dumb. Your default settings need to be the most visually engaging and functional. For example, I worked on a timeline tool that had 3 view modes. These were called 'zoom 1', 'zoom 2', and the cleverly named 'zoom 3'. The concept was that the view or zoom mode corresponded to the amount of time data (results) that could be viewed on the timeline canvas. Starting at zoom 1 seemed to make a lot of sense to us at the time because that's the best overview mode that would show the longest time frame and therefore the most engaging data set. This however proved to be a disaster as no user could understand the zoom function and found it time consuming to interact and view results in zoom 1. We eventually set the default to zoom 2 that provided more of a text based summary overview of the results which lead to instant engagement and understanding. It was the most flexible view mode that worked for the largest user group. Advanced users would be able to find and play with the zoom mode as desired but the average user could still use the basics of the tool without feeling like the tool was too complicated.
If you take the approach that the user won't change any settings, click any boxes or use any search filters then you have your average user and therefore your starting point for deciding on the best defaults.
Left: a snapshot of the 1000+ permission combinations for Drupal and each user role. Having the wrong defaults in this case would not only be a massive security risk but also a 5 hour headache in resolving them. Defaults related to the user interface are just as important.
For further reading I found a nice discussion on displaying system settings and the complications involved when breaking up basic and advanced settings. The end conclusion, set good defaults!
Advanced options are bad, intelligent code is good.
I've come to the sad but happy realisation that users have high expectations. I don't blame google for their clever web apps or search systems. I think this problem has always been around since someone said "Technology will solve everything". I have built many different web apps and made many customisations to complicated search/filter systems and the one thing I've learnt is that it's not always worth the money. A good example of not having advanced options but rather intelligent code is the google search and map systems. They have exactly 1 search input to handle any search. Google maps could quite easily have 3 text inputs: query, location and category. Instead they intelligently understand from a single input what might be a location, query or category and even the semantic relationship between all 3. This is what users expect these days. The computer should know what I'm thinking. Why do I have to tick boxes and fill in lots of form data? The computer should understand my habits and make useful recommendations or make suggestions to improve my experience.
Get feedback from real people!
Obtaining useful feedback early on and throughout a project is by far the most overlooked and undervalued process in the web/software world. By real people I mean NOT your programmers, not your business directors and not anyone that is not the average user or has conflicting interests. Any usability expert will tell you that you need to segment your user base and understand their needs properly. One doesn't have to go down the path of 'scientific usability testing' but the simple method of asking friends and family (the real users) can bring a lot to the table. 90% of critical design changes have actually come from my (now) fiancee. She's not afraid to say "it's crap" or "I don't get it". As I'm usually too close (and speaking as a developer) I often retaliate on these remarks and try and prove the past decisions to be good ones. After crossing the "oops, she's right" threshold, it's easy to see the flaws. It's amazing how many poorly constructed interfaces are out there that constantly annoy the user. A lack of respect for your user and their honest feedback means poorly designed interfaces (and functional systems) and therefore frustrated, angry users.
If "peace on earth" was my next project I'd start with getting feedback from those that actually have a vested interest in the planet and it's future. Politicians, business men and banks are all in un-biassed positions to provide useful feedback.

The wealth management division of one of America's leading financial services firm is taking aim at modest Tri-City investors who need help managing their portfolios.
Wells Fargo Advisors, one of more than 80 business lines of San Francisco-based Wells Fargo and Company, opened its first Tri-City office last week in Kennewick. The office is the first new branch for Wells Fargo Advisors in five years, said John Gonnason, managing director for Wells Fargo's Inland Northwest Complex.
The Spokane-based office serves clients in Eastern Washington, Idaho and Montana. It manages more than $2 billion in client assets, including retirement savings, stocks, bonds and other assets. It also helps clients secure loans and financing. Nationally, Wells Fargo Advisors manages $1.4 trillion in client assets.
Wells Fargo Advisors is a separate division from the well-known bank, which has a branch on North Kellogg Street in Kennewick.
Wells Fargo Advisors is at 8203 W. Quinault Ave. It opened with three financial advisers, Erik Hebdon, James Utz and Jeremy Hunsaker. It expects to grow to about 15 advisers.
Wells Fargo Advisors has no upper or lower asset limits. Its "sweet spot" is households with about $250,000 in net assets, including home equity, Gonnason said.
"We're the homespun local people who want to help people with lower net worth grow," he said.
Gonnason said new office answers pent up demand for wealth management in a community that recently posted its 36th consecutive month of job growth.
Wendy Culverwell: 509-582-1514, @WendyCulverwell
Wells Fargo Advisors opened April 21 at 8203 W. Quinault Ave. in Kennewick. It serves mid-level investors and considers assets of about $250,000 its sweet spot.

An Invitation from our Music Director
August 2006
Dear Friends,
It seems that years have passed since I wrote my first welcome letter as Music Director of the Cantata Singers of Ottawa. But my tenure with this fine group started a mere eleven months ago. The past season was exciting for me; the choir and I developed close ties both in rehearsal and in concert.
I am very much looking forward to starting my second year, the choir's 43rd season, with exciting repertoire and the dedicated members of the Cantata Singers of Ottawa.
Our first concert, Feliz Navidad, features our much-appreciated musicians from Latin America and the Ottawa Regional Youth Choir, under its Director Barbara Clark. I am sure you remember the Latin American musicians' fantastic performances in our 2005 concert, Nova Iberia. Join us for a celebration of Christmas rhythms from the Americas.
For our concert in February, Meditation and Praise, I chose choral music that gives you the opportunity to relate the music and the underlying text to existential questions of life. Works by Johann Sebastian Bach (the motet Jesu, meine Freude), the Estonian Arvo Pärt, Kurt Sander from the United States, and Peteris Plakidis of Latvia provide the material for one hour of thoughtful listening.
With An Alpine Soundscape, I am proud to present to you musicians and music from my home country of Switzerland. The second edition in our multi-year Soundscapes series also features choral music from other Alpine regions—Germany, Austria, and Italy. Our guests will be the Ottawa Valley Swiss choir, the Montagna Singers, and musicians on traditional instruments. Of course, no Alpine Soundscape would be complete without an alphorn and some yodelling!
You can also hear the Cantata Singers of Ottawa with the National Arts Centre Orchestra, under the batons of Maestro Franz-Paul Decker, Maestro Pinchas Zukerman and Maestro David Lockington. Please see our season program below for more details.
I look forward to welcoming you in the audience, and I appreciate your ongoing support for choral music and especially for the Cantata Singers of Ottawa. Our season subscriptions are available; we hope you will take advantage of the offer. I personally would be very grateful to welcome a more numerous audience appreciating the singers' efforts. Please help us by spreading our performance information and your personal experiences at our concerts.
Thank you and with my best wishes
Michael Zaugg, Music Director

BENEFITING: The V Foundation
Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to run in the NYC Marathon. I have my Uncle Joe to thank as it was he who I followed on my bicycle during one of his "Long Runs" while training for his marathon in the early 80s....
That was a long time ago and it took me a while to get to this point, but I'm finally ready for the challenge.
However, my challenge is nothing compared to those who fight Cancer every day (you know who you are) or those who have succumbed to Cancer (my beloved Aunt Angela). Too many family members and friends have been challenged with Cancer and I have personally witnessed their strength and courage. It is this strength and courage that I will draw from to get me through the last 6 miles.
So in addition to running the marathon, I've decided to raise money for Cancer Research. The Cancer Charity that I have chosen is the "Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research". You might have heard his famous speach during the 1993 ESPY awards as he battled Cancer. If you have not, the link is below. Watch the link and you will be inspired.
If you are able to donate any amount, it would be greatly appreciated. My goal is to raise $2,000 but I believe we could do a lot more.
Thank you!!!

Time to breathe
It's a series of transitions that is a lot to handle, and it can take a toll.
Yesterday I needed some perspective. I needed to shift the scene, alter the pace, find a comfortable space, familiar, yet fresh and different.
My Vespa remains equal parts transport for the body, and transport for the soul.
I'm now refreshed, ready for another challenge today, that, hopefully, will cast the next year or so into a favorable environment for some of these large shifts and changes.

Wow! Lots for changes in your world as well as mine!ReplyDelete
May we come out the other end happier and settled by autumn!
What kind of motorcycle are you gettng?Replies
Deb, from your lips to God's ears! I heartily join you in that simple wish.Delete
As for the motorcycle, it's a 2003 Honda Shadow VT750 ACE. There are a couple of posts on the bike, and a bunch more to come as I chronicle the farkles that are in the process of being added.
The bike is co-owned by Sonja and I. There will be a lot of coverage to come on our blogs.
Stay tuned :)
Holy, that's a lot of stuff happening. All good, change is good. Happy to hear about the wedding, and glad that you put in your notice. I always think of retirement as the ultimate freedom (and I hope it will be for you, too).ReplyDelete
Toronto, while not equipped with the flair of Montreal is a place of food and culture, too. Good luck with all these new endeavours. You know what to do, when a break from all these tasks is needed.Replies
That's great advice Sonja.Delete
It's feeling pretty awesome already.
Lots of activity, lots of changes. Congrats on your upcoming retirement. I was asked today if I have any regrets and, so far, not the slightest. What prompted the move?ReplyDeleteReplies
Richard it was a kind of sudden cluster of events that caused me to bring things to a head resulting in a severance deal. Kind of like the theory of tearing a bandaid off in one quick rip.Delete
Transportation for body AND soul. Boy, ain't that the truth.ReplyDelete
Do you know if Toronto has all sorts of culinary adventures in store for a foodie like you?
Wow, that is a lot going on at once. I hope you will enjoy Toronto as much as you have Montreal. While I've been to Montreal, I've never been to Toronto. Think of all the coffee shops you can scooter to.ReplyDelete
Geez David, going for so many changes at once....? Recommend more breather breaks....ReplyDelete
David, that is a lot of stuff to handle at once. I am in a similar boat, with our house finally looking like it is going to sell, with closing in a month. We are looking at apartments now for a year's worth of living until we determine what we want to do. There are other life pieces that are changing as well, so I feel your pain. But you have the same freshener that I do, a scooter to take you away for a few moments and make everything manageable again.ReplyDelete
Great. So if we make to Quebec Ville this summer, as I hope, on the way back we have no one to take us to a shady cafe in Montreal and discuss the delights of bi-lingualism. It's all about you isn't it?ReplyDelete
Good luck on managing the chaos. I don't envy you!

I will admit, I never thought that meeting someone online, falling in love, getting married, having kids, and almost getting a divorce was ever in my thoughts. But that's how the last 15 years of my life have been. It doesn't seem like that long ago I announced I was in the process of getting separated and possibly divorced. Believe me when I say that the last 8 months have been the longest 8 months of my life and the most stressful.
However, I have very, VERY, happy to announce that my husband and I have possibly worked everything out and we are starting fresh. We are no longer separating and we are working to make our marriage work!
15 years ago, right around this time, we were planning our wedding. It was going to be a very small wedding and pretty much no one in my family knew about it. That story is for another time. This Thanksgiving Day will be our 15th wedding anniversary. It is amazing that it actually falls on Thanksgiving, however, it was bound to happen one year. Just didn't know it would be on our 15th year.
How to make it work
How do you make a marriage work that was just about to end?
- You need time and patience.
- You need time away from each other.
- You need friends to participate in your life.
- You need date nights.

There are many types of ponds you'll be able to build in your backyard. Nonetheless, our pond is among my most favorite things within this yard. A well planted pond, with only a few fish, will develop into a balanced system by itself, and water quality is only going to be an issue in the event the fish are overfed.
If you're considering installing a pond, the ideal way to see whether it is going to fit would be to speak to a landscaper who has worked with ponds previously. Basically, ponds are a remedy to so a number of our needs. Since there's no pond it's an ideal water feature for families with small children.
A pond also acts as an organic focus in the landscape in addition to a sound filter. It appears that whenever you own a pond, the following thing you desire is a waterfall into it. You don't have to have a pond in your lawn already to reach a frog fantasy.

At the start of the year I took some days off for crafting. This time I choose making paperbeads. I have a box full of inspirational papers that came it very handy, and I'm sure these will be helpful for reference images for painting sometime.
Some resources I used: IFX wall calendar; gift wrapping paper; flyers from a butterfly park, and a horror themepark; advertisements for travel agencies; an artists' newspaper; coloured carton; envelopes; coin rolling paper; greeting cards; test prints.
I haven't counted, but they are many.

Summer Field
During summer when I wanted to get to grips with actually making proper finished artworks on real paper after years of digital work, I created this three-part series of barley, cornflower, and poppy with pencils, ink pens, and acrylics. I had tried making WIP shots, but they turned out to be terrible. The originals are for sale.

Deus Ex was a franchise that started out on the PS2 years ago that never really intrigued me in the day. It took forever for a release of the series to hit the current generation, and when it hit, it clearly went to the top of the list for current games on the market, especially multiplats.
i actually think deus ex is awesome and its on my top 10 list of great games. i love the story the gameplay only downer is the bosses
rofl dumbass didn't even finish the game, you know the last levels are zombie levels? Oh wait of course not. Also most games have stolen from the original deus ex, not the other way around. At least you gave it an appropriate score.
I'll pick it up when it becomes cheaper as I'll probably only play it once/twice through like I did with MGS4.

Lord God, thank You for creating safe boundaries for us to dwell in. We are sorry for our adulterous and wicked ways, for coming out from under the safe covering You created for us, chasing things or people we have lusted after. With our wills, we surrender our fleshly desires and come running back to our Savior, the Most High, who is our safe refuge and dwelling place. We want to be with You, Lord. We choose You first. Thank You for the opportunity and privilege of coming back to You, for taking us up with Your loving kindnesses and tender mercies. Thank You that Your mercies are new every morning. We desperately need them. May Your heart be blessed as we reunite with our Loving Heavenly Father. In Jesus' precious Name. Amen.

Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;

In less than two pages of prose, Woolf explores, summons, and subverts the conventions of the ghost story, offering a modernist take on the genre.

This place was recommended to me and it did not disappoint. The food was fantastic but pricey. It wasn't until after our first visit did we find out that it is actually 3 restaurants, all with the same owner and name. There is the high end, elegant dining, a sandwich shop, and a diner that is very casual. All have heavenly food, but at different price points. It is not a place to miss if you are going to Galveston!

For Immediate Release: April 7, 2017
Contact: Nora Hurley,
The Center for Inquiry today expressed its concern regarding the vote to appoint Judge Gorsuch of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit to the Supreme Court. The Senate voted 54 – 45 on an largely party line vote to confirm Judge Gorsuch to the seat left vacant when Justice Antonin Scalia died, and which was left unfilled when the Republican-controlled Senate refused to hold hearings to determine the qualifications of former President Obama's nominee, Judge Merrick Garland.
"Even ignoring the partisan games played by Senate Republicans regarding the appointment of a new Supreme Court Justice, Judge Gorsuch is a bad pick for the highest court in the land," said Nicholas J. Little, CFI's Vice President and General Counsel. "Judge Gorsuch's history on the federal bench is replete with hostility towards the rights of Americans without religious faith. In his rulings, he has repeatedly ruled in favor of special privileges for religious, in particular Christian groups, as well as expressing a clear preference for religious dogma over evidence-based scientific reasoning in matters such as abortion rights and end of life issues."
It was Judge Gorsuch who wrote a concurrence in the Tenth Circuit decision in Hobby Lobby v. Sibelius, stressing the idea, later followed by Justice Alito in his Supreme Court decision, that the plaintiffs were the sole arbiters of whether an action required by a general law violated their faith, thereby dramatically extending the coverage of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), and expanding the opportunities for religious individuals to demand exemptions from such laws. Under the line of argument advanced by Gorsuch and Alito, there is next to no limitations on the demands religious groups may make to be exempted from obeying the laws that the rest of the country must obey. As a Justice, Gorsuch appears set to dramatically increase the level of religious privilege granted to Christianity in public life, rolling back the protections against establishment that have underpinned the rights of the non-religious and those of minority faiths for decades in the United States. For example, in Summum v. Pleasant Grove City, he dissented from the court's decision and argued instead that the government should be permitted to place a donated Ten Commandments monument in a public park without any requirement that other donated monuments be permitted alongside it.
Gorsuch's hostility to reproductive rights and personal bodily integrity is clear from his writings and decisions. He has dissented from a decision by the Tenth Circuit to not rehear a case which required Utah to fund Planned Parenthood, and has written repeatedly against both abortion and death with dignity rights. He has noted, for example, his belief that Roe v. Wade, the decision underpinning abortion rights in the United States, could not have been decided as it was had the Court defined a fetus as a person, as "no constitutional basis exists for preferring the mother's liberty interests over the child's life."
"Neil Gorsuch has shown a repeated willingness to prioritize his personal faith, and the rights of those who share it, over the rights of other Americans, including the non-religious, women, and those of minority faiths," observed Robyn Blumner, President and CEO of CFI. "As America moves toward greater and greater pluralism of beliefs, it is backward looking to place someone on the Supreme Court with such a clear history of privileging religion. The Supreme Court will face many critical questions during Gorsuch's tenure, and he has given the non-religious no confidence that he will grant us a fair and impartial hearing or defend our constitutional rights."

Ruth Foster's sad Holocaust™ fable - Jews snuck into mortuary to bite flesh from dead jews' buttocks & cut out livers
In the Stuffhof camp Ruth "witnessed" jews sneaking into the mortuary and bite flesh from dead jews' buttocks. Others would have knives to cut out the livers.

This page tells you how I can help you arrange a personal budget to take control of your support.
Social services usually arranges support for people who need it. But you can get the money to arrange support yourself. This is called a Direct Payment. At first, you could only spend your Direct Payment on certain things. It was hard to be creative.
Then individual budgets and personal budgets came along and now you should be able to spend the money in a way that suits you.
I can help you to:
- figure out what's important to you
- make a support plan that shows how you will spend the money
- think about who will support you – it doesn't just have to be paid people.
Contact me to talk about how I can help.

My journey to the Royal Society of Chemistry has taken me through medical, educational and professional publishing and I'm delighted that my first steps into scientific publishing were taken with Chemistry World.
I don't share the scientific background (or PhDs) of the rest of the team – my under- and postgraduate education was overwhelmingly in arts and humanities (literature and the modernist movement to be precise). Nevertheless, from my first contact with Chemistry World I felt included - I could understand most of the science, the stories were compelling, and the people involved were authentic and enthusiastic. It's a great magazine with a committed and expert team behind it, serving a vibrant, international readership.

From Ginny Sherlock, renowned local attorney, civic activist, and former Associated Press editor: Administrative Law Judge Suzanne Van Wyck has issued a Recommended Order finding the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the sewer element of the Martin County Comp Plan "in compliance" with state law. The ALJ rejected the challenge filed by Martin Land Co. (originally joined by ag interests and other western landowners) and recommended that the Department of Economic Opportunity approve the amendment because:
1. Martin Land Co. failed to prove beyond fair debate that elimination of the Expressway Oriented Transient Commercial Service Center overlay was not supported by adequate data and analysis;
2. Martin Land Co. failed to prove beyond fair debate that returning to the 2,000-gallon-per-day maximum septic flow limit (rather than the 10,000-gallon-a-day limit authorized by the state) will not achieve the County's goal of protecting ground and surface waters from nitrogen loading; and
3. Martin Land Co. failed to prove beyond fair debate that the Amendment violates state law requiring a balance of uses to foster vibrant, viable communities and economic development opportunities or that the Amendment creates internal inconsistencies within the Plan.
Martin Land Co. can file "exceptions" (objections) to the ALJ's Recommended Order, after which the Department of Economic Opportunity will issue a Final Order, which should occur within 30-45 days, and the Amendment will become effective at that time (assuming the Final Order adopts the Recommended Order).
Thanks to Maggy Hurchalla for leading the charge in support of this amendment, which, as Maggy says, "gets rid of the albatross of Expressway Commercial which otherwise would continue to attact variations on Extreme Water Sports" and which "puts the septic tank rules back in the Comp Plan."
