Not my type of game to be honest. They did marry shooter in mmo pve enviroment similar to mmorpg games.
I am not saying this is bad thing, because it is not. I am sure there are people that will like it. I am just saying I personally am not attracted to something like that. So I did play few times for few hours and unintalled. Not for me.
Secrets of Dragon?s Spine Trailer.. !
Best MMOs ever played: Ultima, EvE, SW Galaxies, Age of Conan, The Secret World
It must be so quiet because everyone is playing it ?
I mean .. man, yesterday it was all full of Chosen arround Copa ..
Was pleasantly surprised by Firefall as well. The outrageous accents of the characters and over the top artstyle somehow fit the world perfectly. An open world which is pretty impressive as well for a F2P game and one that is filled with public event type things and fun story quests.
The PvP is also fun and fast paced and reminds me of a mix of global agenda / TF2 with older shooters like quake 3.
Firefall doesn't try to be the next ultra realistic shooter where you have to deal with recoil and reticle bloom etc, that's a great thing imo.
Like others in this thread, I do see the game getting old fast without some super challenging group PvE content or some persistent ongoing PvP.
Feel free to use my referral link for SW:TOR if you want to test out the game. You'll get some special unlocks!
I usually hate shooters, but I love Firefall.
What does that say?
Since when is Tuesday a direction?
I'm enjoying my time with the game as well. I was pleasantly suprised that I really liked the graphics and art style when I got in game. I usually hate cartoony graphics but these seem to fit the game well and it does seem like an exotic alien world that is quite immersive (especially at night). Nice to have the option of first person and a type of third person. I've not had a lot of time with the game so I haven't been able to experience most things. Just a positive first impression.
I do have a few concerns. I think this game needs a tutorial. The inventory and ui are odd along with the character "progression" system for an MMO. Talk of the world being really tiny has me worried though...tiny game worlds are rarely a good thing. Not sure why PvE seems to be taking a hit due to PvP reasons once again. Separate the mechanics already.
I couldn't care less about PvP so no open world PvP initially doesn't bother me. Although I would like to see them add some PvE group stuff (dungeon type areas).
Edit: The game also runs really smooth on my horrid graphics card.
Cool game!! )) I like it! Waiting for more updates ingame. Full freedom!
I just don't understand why i didn't seen this game before.
Only good emotions. Except only bugs, but this is only a matter of time.
Yeah! This is gret idea! When it starts to Thump it's like calling a Spice Harvesting in "Dune" ) Hopefully there is no giant WORMS ) right now...

I dunno, I found the game quite boring to be honest, it felt like tabula rasa minus all the parts that made tabula rasa decent. Its still in beta so it can only get better but the game is going to need some major changes if it plans to hold peoples interests for more than a short time.
I'm glad someone felt that way too. It definately has a Tabula Rasa vibe to it. I guess it is mostly how the mobs you fight are and the dynamic minievents. When you are fighting anything that has ranged attacks at some point they will shoot an unavoidable shot at you and you will take damage no matter how much you are trying to avoid it. And with the dynamic events or whatever they are calling them, they are fairly simple destractions that don't make for very interesting content yet. So far I've done thumpers, Chosen droppods, LCV wreckage, scanning for a mage boss dude, and the purple vortex mini events. Each one is somewhat fun but there's not enough to them.
I haven't even bothered to look at PvP because well... Planetside 2. Nuff said.
Overall it is OK. Not enough of my type of game to put money down on it. For those that really loved TR I suspect they will like this.
No matter how cynical you become, its never enough to keep up - Lily Tomlin
this will be a niche game. some will love it as a global agenda replacement, others won't.
granted this was just a beta weekend - however, after playing for many hours during the 48 hr invite, i decided this game was not my kind of game. there are a lot of shooters out there and I did not see this game offering much to differentiate itself from the competition.
want 7 free days of playing? Try this

Yes and no. The enemy NPCs (The Chosen) can take over a watchtower, which doesn't really take anything away from the players. But, retaking it will take a group effort and will reward you with resources. Also, if you are hunting/harvesting around, it is helpfull to have a friendly location to fall back to in case of emergency... or death.
So no, its not like Planetside where certain bases give certain benefits and you lose your advanced vehicles if you have no access to a tech base. But also isn't a complete ignore - you have this small carrot hanging in front of you for trying to recapture the base/watchtower.
I am the type of player where I like to do everything and anything from time to time.

At the moment in the beta there isnt much to the Chosen really, they kinda drop from the sky in drop pods randomly around the map, form groups and move across the map try to take over nearby bases/watchtowers, though this is purely so the devs can work on the AI and balance their difficulty and find any bugs in them.
The actual plan is for the Chosen to push through the Melding (the electrical storm surrounding the map) with force and try take over bases/towns and then gather resources themselves and try to grow their army, and then expand to try to claim more and eventually try to take over the map, kinda like a RTS meta game within the game between the players and the Chosen. Any resources or technology that we own in these areas we lose, and the Chosen will gain.
As it stands in the game the current map is small, but once the mechanics for pushing back the Melding come into the game, the idea will be that the players will push back the melding to expand the world and open up more zones/technology/towns/etc and also meaning player will have more to try hold onto, and if neglected could either fall to the Chosen or maybe be swallowed up by the melding again. Thus creating a live world that players will have to try to constantly defend, and at the same to to try to expand.
Anyhow, this is not in the beta as it stands and the Chosen War mechanics are the focus of their current Milestone they are just starting, so hopefully this will start to flesh out a lot more over the next few months.

There is some now:
The process of thumping requires using a scanhammer to go out and find veins of ore to mine out - it's closest equivalent would be scanning in SWG.
You have to defend the thumpers while they extract - they tend to attrack local wildlife (mostly mutated bugs and lizards and such). The smallest takes about 3 minutes, the largest 5. To fully mine out a vein, it takes on the other of 10 of the largest thumpers, or about 50 of the smallest.
In the time it takes you to find a vein, and exploit it, chosen drop pods, meld tornadoes, wildlife, and other things will inevitably pop up and say hello.
Also, there are watchtowers around the area - these basically serve as respawn points for death, and for stations for changing equipment or battleframes. These can be taken over by us (Accord) or them (Chosen). Having a nearby watchtower can mean the difference in a 30 second run back to what you were doing, versus a 5+ minute run back.
If you are doing meld thumping (thumping right along the meld wall) - it attracts denziens from inside the meld - which are about twice as powerful, and twice as many - so it's four times as dangerous, making having a nearby tower very critical - both as a station to be able to fall back to and regroup, as well as having a base from which to quickly respawn from.
Chosen can even take over entire cities - I have seen them try to take Copa Cabana (the biggest city area) and Sunken Harbor, but not take them over. Every other area I have seen Chosen occupy at least once.
What is not in the game as of yet, but promises to be soon:
The meld wall - basically a giant blue curtain that hangs over about half the map. Going into the blue meld will kill you (it acts as a damage over time), so you can't go very far into it. There are ways to push it back right now, but only temporarily. Supposedly by holding key positions, in the future, we'll be able to keep it pushed back and expose new areas (with richer resources to exploit), and even new cities.

Five players will make their competitive debuts for London Wasps when they take on Quins in the London Double Header on Saturday.
Five players will make their starting debuts for London Wasps when they take on Harlequins at the London Double Header on Saturday.
Andy Goode, Matt Mullan, Jake Cooper-Woolley, Guy Thompson and Ed Jackson will all start for Dai Young's side, with Sam Jones captaining the team in the absence of Chris Bell, who hasn't quite recovered from a minor infection.
Andrea Masi fills the full-back shirt flanked by Christian Wade and Tom Varndell on the wings. Charlie Hayter and Ben Jacobs, in his second stint at the club, are the centre pairing, while Goode and Joe Simpson are the half-backs.
Mullan packs down with Tom Lindsay and youngster Cooper-Woolley, who has impressed in pre-season, with Joe Launchbury and Tom Palmer forming the second-row partnership.
Jones skippers the side on the blindside flank, alongside two newcomers, Jackson and Thompson who have both been hugely impressive since joining in the off-season.
"After what has been a long but hugely productive pre-season period, everyone at the club is excited to get the competitive matches underway this weekend," said Young.
"The intensity in training over the last couple of weeks has noticeably increased as we have neared the start of the new season and everyone in the squad has been keen to state their case for a starting shirt.
"This weekend we face a very accomplished side in the form of Harlequins who will test our systems extensively. We know that it will take the new players we have and the new systems we have introduced a while to bed in, but we showed last year the talent that we have at this club and we are looking forward to trying to build on that."
Meanwhile, Paul Sackey and Academy member George Merrick make their competitive debuts for Harlequins on the wing and in the second-row respectively on Saturday.
In the backs, Mike Brown starts at full-back with Ugo Monye on the wing. George Lowe, who signed a contract extension this week to keep him at the club until 2016, is named in the centres with Jordan Turner-Hall, while Danny Care and Nick Evans complete the backline.
Will Collier starts at tighthead prop with Joe Gray and Joe Marler forming the front-row.
George Robson partners Merrick in the second-row, while Luke Wallace, Nick Easter and captain, Chris Robshaw make up the back-row.
Among the replacements, new signing Paul Doran Jones is named while Charlie Walker, Ben Botica and Karl Dickson cover the backline.
Players unavailable for selection include Tom Williams and Sam Smith, who are out with short term injuries. Both are expected to be available for the A team game on Monday night against London Irish. The more long term injuries include Nick Kennedy who exacerbated a knee condition in pre-season which has required surgery.
Kennedy is expected to return alongside Charlie Matthews (shoulder) in November. Ollie Lindsay Hague (shoulder) and Ross Chisholm (knee) picked up injuries playing in the JP Morgan 7's and will be available for selection in December and May (2014) respectively.
Form: London Wasps have a won 4, drawn 1, lost 3 record in previous London Double Headers. Wasps only win at Twickenham in their last five visits was 20-15 in the 2011 London Double Header against Saracens. Wasps have lost their last eight matches in all competitions – their poorest run of the professional era. Harlequins have lost just one of their past six London Double Headers: 15-26 to London Wasps in 2009. Quins only defeat in their last seven visits to Twickenham was 11-19 on 27 December 2011. Wasps 17-16 victory at the Twickenham Stoop in Aviva Premiership Rugby last February ended a seven game winless run against Harlequins in all competitions, whilst their three previous encounters in the London Double Header have been evenly split with a win apiece plus a draw.
The teams:
London Wasps: 15 Andrea Masi, 14 Christian Wade, 13 Ben Jacobs, 12 Charlie Hayter, 11 Tom Varndell, 10 Andy Goode, 9 Joe Simpson, 8 Ed Jackson, 7 Guy Thompson, 6 Sam Jones (capt), 5 Tom Palmer, 4 Joe Launchbury, 3 Jake Cooper-Woolley, 2 Tom Lindsay, 1 Matt Mullan.
Replacements: 16 Neil Cochrane, 17 Simon McIntyre, 18 Will Taylor, 19 James Cannon, 20 Ashley Johnson, 21 Charlie Davies, 22 Joe Carlisle, 23 Tommy Bell.
Harlequins: 15 Mike Brown, 14 Paul Sackey, 13 George Lowe, 12 Jordan Turner-Hall, 11 Ugo Monye, 10 Nick Evans, 9 Danny Care, 8 Nick Easter, 7 Chris Robshaw (capt), 6 Luke Wallace, 5 George Robson, 4 George Merrick, 3 Will Collier, 2 Joe Gray, 1 Joe Marler.
Replacements: 16 Rob Buchanan, 17 Mark Lambert, 18 Paul Doran Jones, 19 Maurie Fa'asavalu, 20 Tom Guest, 21 Karl Dickson, 22 Ben Botica, 23 Charlie Walker.
Date: Saturday, September 7

If everyone uses the water sparingly it will last for the most of September. Use the water on the same days you currently are using, except choose only either morning or evening. You have been given a window of five (5) hours three days a week to water. There is no need to water five (5) hours each day. ABSOLUTELY NO WATERING OF LAWNS WILL BE ALLOWED. PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR AUTOMATIC SPRINKLERS. Sprinklers for garden use is not allowed. Water plants in garden individually and sparingly, just enough to keep plants alive. Gardens do not require as much water at this stage of the growing season. Plants will soon complete their growing cycle, so use water sparingly. If anyone waters lawns either with culinary or secondary, the secondary valve will be turned off at the first offence-No notice will be given, and will remain off until secondary water is available again in the future. No water will be available for agriculture users. We are in a drought and water is at a premium. We trust the citizens of Orangeville will cooperate in our efforts to conserve the water we have. Orangeville's total usage of secondary water is down and the cooperation of the residents is greatly appreciated. Remember to continue to conserve water.

As I continue discovering the Southwest I spent a weekend recently in New Mexico. I had the wonderful opportunity to attend an art show in Santa Fe and several galleries and open houses in Taos. That area is also famous for its Pueblo ruins and villages. I walked through villages that are over 1,000 years old and visited with the natives who still live without electricity and water. I also spent one day visiting a Catholic monastery high into the mountains of northern New Mexico. While at the sacred property I realized the diversity of the monks. They were from all over the world, including India, Mexico, Philippines, Vietnam, Korea and Africa.
Unlike Utah where the majority our population is caucasian, New Mexico is made up of over 45 percent hispanic (either Spanish or Mexican) and about 11 percent native Americans. The diversity of the state, along with the monastery reminded me of a sermon recently at our church in Price. The visiting pastor providing us a thumb nail sketch of the earth, should it's population be shrunk into a village of just 100 people with all the human nations existing in the world still remaining, what would this tiny, diverse village look like?
The facts were provided by Philip M. Harter, a medical doctor at the Stanford University of Medicine and here is what he found: 57 people in the village would be Asian; 21 would be European; 14 would be from the Western hemisphere; eight would be African; 52 would be female; 48 would be male; 70 would be non-while; 30 would be white; 89 would be heterosexual; 11 would be homosexual; six people would possess 59 percent of the entire world's wealth and all six would be from the United States; 80 would live in substandard housing; 70 would be unable to read; 50 would suffer from malnutrition; one would be near death; one would be pregnant; one would have a college education; and one would own a computer.
The pastor who used these facts also tied in a message of thanksgiving and challenged the parishioners that if you live in a good home, have plenty to eat and can read, you are a member of a very select group. If you have a good house, food, can read, and have a computer, you are among the very elite. If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more fortunate than the million who will not survive this week. If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 500 million people in the world. If you attend a religious meeting or church service without fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are fortunate because more than three billion people in the world cannot.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75 percent of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you are among the top eight percent of the world's wealthy. If your parents are still alive and still married, you are very rare, even in America.
So as we prepare for the upcoming week, I hope these few sobering facts will bring us back to the reality in the world today of what life is like for other people in the world.

Who Was Jesus? DVD
Throughout the Who Was Jesus Series DVD, experts come together to examine massive evidence of Jesus' life and death. Learn about his childhood, his friendships, and the state of the world during Jesus' life. In the religion DVD Who Was Jesus, archaeologists continue to dig deep below the Old Temple to uncover even more information and evidence.
The Who Was Jesus Series DVD is exclusive to the Discovery Channel Store.
"This is the story of what it was like to be Jesus, to be born into tyranny, to be executed for preaching harmony and forgiveness to oneââ¬â¢s own warring people, and what it was like for his disciples to risk death by carrying the message of salvation. Throughout the religion DVD Who Was Jesus, historians, archaeologists and theologians examine all kinds of evidence, and dig deeper into Jesus' life and the times he lived in than ever before.
Episodes Include:
Childhood: 'The greatest story ever told...' is not the whole story. The Gospels record the teachings of Jesus and the marvels of his ministry. The Jesus DVD states that they leave out what has been taken for granted for two thousand years: the dramatic reality of the Age of Jesus! On an extraordinary journey of discovery through the Holy Land with three expert guides, this film investigates the latest archaeological and historical evidence to piece together a portrait of Jesus. Here, we understand his early years: from birth to a young man - analyzing the forces that shaped the life and work of a man who would change history forever.
The Mission: Jesus was a young man with a determination to change the world of starvation and oppression he grew up in. In AD 30, Galilee was a land under occupation by the Roman Empire. Many charismatic Jewish leaders preached rebellion and resistance. Jesus preached a message of peace - but he was not unique. Now was he the only miracle maker in his time. Three bible experts walk in his footsteps to discover the real world of Jesus - from his life-changing meeting with John the Baptist, through his ministry on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, to his fateful entry into Jerusalem.
The Last Days: The Passion is well known. But much of its details were recorded hundreds of years after Jesus' death. Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey, but this familiar Easter image was not just a celebration, but a powerful political challenge. It started a chain of defiant events that would see Jesus crucified. But where and how? Three bible experts examine new archaeological digs deep under the city and the ruins of the Old Temple. Many of the famous sites of Jesus' suffering, death and resurrection now have to be re-sited! And many of the reputations of the key characters - Judas, Pontius Pilate - will have to be redrawn! This final part of ""Who Was Jesus?"" examines the historical reality of the greatest story ever told."

Wouldn't Buy AgainI found this shampoo and conditioner, Fekkai Salon Technician Color Care, rather than deliver any moisture to my hair, was actually quite drying and my hair felt like straw while still wet. I've seen other reviews on other brands of "color care" shampoos that say the same thing. Rather than feeling moisturized and silky, these shampoos tend to dry your hair almost beyond repair. Even the condition of this Fekkai Color care made absolutely no difference in the feel of my hair. If it doesn't feel silky in the shower (without silicone residue however, can't stand that feeling that won't rinse out), then it won't feel soft and silky when dry.
Color Care actually made my hair much drier than it's ever been.
The Fekkai shampoo I like, and the hair mask of the same line is Fekkai Protein Rx Reparative Shampoo (and hair mask in the jar). Works very well, does actually restore brittle straw feeling hair. Silky and healthy is the result. I use the hair mask as a conditioner every time I shampoo.May 25, 2012SandraHAIR TYPEAuburn / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

With a resounding 51-13 victory over the Carbon Dinos last Friday night in Castle Dale, the Emery High Spartan football team concluded their regular season and the team is now preparing for the 3-A Utah State playoffs and their game against Manti this Friday night at 6 p.m. Manti, the regular season winner of the 3-A South region will host Emery in a quarterfinal game in Manti. Manti finished the season with an 8-2 record while the Spartans finished the season with a 4-6 record. Looking at a pair of late season games and comparing the scores says that this game could and should be competitive.
Manti defeated Canyon View last week 34-20 whereas Emery defeated the same team 36-26 the week before. Both teams lost to Judge Memorial in the past several weeks by similar scores. Emery lost 37-12 while Manti lost 49-20.
Against Carbon, Emery's ground game was working to perfection as the Spartans gained 525 yards on 48 carries in the game. Senior running back Marco Mota led the effort with 285 yards on 16 carries and Mota scored two touchdowns.
Senior Brayden Burke, running from the right side of the offense, gained 171 yards on 14 carries and scored a touchdown.
The Spartans only attempted two passes in the game with quarterback Tai Justice completing one of those for a 42-yard touchdown to receiver Gavin McDermott in the third quarter.
After the two teams battled throughout the first half of play, Emery led at the half 16-7, the Spartans took control early in the third quarter to put the game away. Emery received the second half kickoff and had a first down at their 30-yard line. Burke capped off the drive with a 13-yard run to score. Mota had the long run on the drive at 18 yards. Mota added the 2-point conversion.
On the ensuing Spartan kickoff, the intended squib kick by Emery kicker Thomie Lucas bounced off the back of a Dino return person and Emery's Tyler Olsen recovered at the Carbon 42-yard line. Justice and McDermott connected on the first play and Emery quickly scored again.
After Carbon returned the next kickoff to their 31-yard line, the Dinos threw an interception on their third play to Spartan safety Austin Allred and Emery had the ball back. Allred had a good game at safety as another interception was nullified by a penalty and he knocked down several other passes throughout the game.
After the interception Emery quickly added another score as Mota scored on a 36-yard run. McDermott caught a Justice pass for the two-point conversion. The score had gone from 16-7 to 38-7 within a few minutes.
The Spartans also scored on their final two drives of the game as fullback Korwin McPherren scored on a 1-yard run and Allred capped off the game by scoring on a 7-yard run.
After suffering many injuries throughout this season, the Spartans had a little good news as lineman Duncan Thomas returned to action following a foot injury suffered early in the season. Thomas saw limited action in this game but should see more this coming week as this will help alleviate a depth problem the Spartans have suffered from throughout the season.
In the other quarterfinal contests, Grantsville will travel to Juab, Richfield will travel to Morgan and North Sanpete will travel to Judge Memorial. While the Salt Lake newspapers have the home teams favored in each contest, the Progress would not be surprised to have all of the 3-A North teams win this Friday.

JACKSON — One of Mississippi's U.S. senators and all four of its U.S. House members were sworn in Thursday to begin their new terms in Washington.
All five were elected in November.
Republican Roger Wicker of Tupelo will serve a six-year term in the Senate.
The House members serve two-year terms. They are Democrat Bennie Thompson of Bolton in the Delta's 2nd District and Republicans Alan Nunnelee of Tupelo in the northern 1st District, Gregg Harper of Pearl in the central 3rd District and Steven Palazzo of Biloxi in the southern 4th District.
The state's senior senator, Republican Thad Cochran of Oxford, is beginning the fifth year of his current six-year term. Cochran was first elected to the Senate in 1978 and hasn't said whether he'll seek re-election in 2014.
Cochran was chosen Thursday to be the top Republican on the Senate Agriculture Committee. He has served on the committee since joining the Senate, and he was the committee chairman from 2003 through 2005, when Republicans held the Senate majority.
"I will use the experiences I've gained in serving on the committee since 1979 to help quickly advance a new Farm Bill that will meet the needs of our country's farmers, small businesses and those who rely on the nutrition programs under the Committee's jurisdiction," Cochran said in a news release Thursday.
For the past six years, Cochran has been the ranking Republican on the Senate Appropriations Committee, which he previously chaired. He gives up the leadership role on Appropriations, but remains a member of the powerful committee that decides how federal dollars are spent. Cochran also remains a member of the Senate Rules Committee.
Wicker on Thursday was named deputy whip for the Republicans in the Senate. In that post, he'll help count votes and build support within the Senate for the party's agenda. He said in a news release that he wants to help reduce federal regulation and promote U.S. energy production to help spur economic growth.
"We face a number of challenges that require leadership and cooperation to solve," Wicker said. "Congress and the President must reduce the federal deficit and begin to address the debt. At $16.4 trillion, the debt is unsustainable, and the problem gets worse each day. All sides need to have an honest discussion about what we can afford and what we can do without."

Emery High is filled with generous students with big ambitions and big dreams. You've heard of build a bear? so why not build a school? A school is a big undertaking, but not too big for students Spencer Fauver and Cassidy Labrum. They are raising funds to help build a school in the small town of Corozal, Belize. They will travel there this June to assist in building the school and are raising funds for building supplies.
So far, they have had two fundraisers. Emery High School for the past five weeks has been having a "School Helping A School" quarter drive and raised $954.74. The second fundraiser was selling Valentine cupcakes and singing telegrams to Emery and Carbon counties. They sold approximately 150 cupcakes and 30 singing telegrams from Ferron to Price and raised $1,275. This makes the total donations equal $2,229.74.
At one of the basketball games Jared Shakespaere dressed up like Cupid and danced while the fans threw money on a blanket. They collected $100 from this activity.
Labrum and Fauver said, "We are thrilled with the generosity of everyone. Our goal is to raise $4600 by mid-April, so as you can see, we are lacking $2370. Anyone who didn't get the opportunity to participate in either of these fundraisers who wish to learn more about the project and contribute to it may visit HEFY.org (under Donate) and put Spencer Fauver and/or Cassidy Labrum in the "Fundraiser line." If you choose to put both names on the donation, the credit will be divided evenly between us. These donations are tax deductible. If you would rather, you may also contact us directly to donate.
"Thank you to all those who helped in any way with these projects. We especially want to thank Lorie Huntington, Emery High School students, Principal Larry Davis, Bobbie Hymas, Paula Gordon, Amanda Lake, Shelley Jones, Jessica Labrum and Doll's costumes in Cleveland. This community has such a big heart. We have been truly overwhelmed with the generosity of everyone," said Labrum and Fauver.
Belize is a country located on the northeastern coast of Central America. It is the only country in the area where English is the official language, although Kriol and Spanish are more commonly spoken. Belize is bordered to the north by Mexico, to the south and west by Guatemala and to the east by the Caribbean Sea.

Doctors Consider a Last Best Hope for Obese Teenagers: Surgery
February 24, 2017
Sensitivity analysis determines the effectiveness of antibiotics against microorganisms (germs) such as bacteria that have been isolated from cultures.
Sensitivity analysis may be done along with:
Antibiotic sensitivity testing; Antimicrobial susceptibility testing
After the culture (sample) is collected from a person, it is sent to a lab. There, the samples are put in special containers to grow the microorganisms (germs) from the collected samples. Colonies of microorganisms are combined with different antibiotics to see how well each antibiotic stops each colony from growing. The test determines how effective each antibiotic is against a given organism.
Follow your health care provider's instructions on how to prepare for the method used to obtain the culture.
The way the test feels depends on the method used to obtain the culture.
The test shows which antibiotic drugs should be used to treat an infection.
Many organisms are resistant to certain antibiotics. So, sensitivity tests are important in helping find the right antibiotic for you. Your health care provider may start you on one antibiotic, but later change you to another because of the results of sensitivity analysis.
If the organism shows resistance to the antibiotics used in the test, those antibiotics will not be effective treatment.
The risks depend upon the method used for obtaining the specific culture.

Despite a managerial opening with his hometown team, Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson appears to be staying put.
On the day Jim Leyland announced his retirement as manager of the Detroit Tigers, Diamondbacks CEO Derrick Hall said Gibson doesn't want to leave Arizona – and that the club doesn't want him to go, either.
TIGERS: Leyland stepping down as manager
"I had a conversation with him first thing this morning," Hall said. "My first inclination was to say I would not grant permission (for the Tigers to interview Gibson) because we want him to stay here. But I asked him, 'If that's what you desire, to go interview, that's different.' But he said he wants to stay here. That's all we needed to hear. He's not going anywhere."
And that's despite Gibson being signed only through next season. The club held options for the 2015 and 2016 seasons but did not exercise them, Hall said.
"He's committed; he's a loyal guy," Hall said. "He's under contract. He likes it here. Of course, I think he would have liked his options exercised, but he also knows he could be here the next 20 years. That doesn't mean that he's not going to be here after next year because we didn't exercise those next two years. He has enough confidence in himself to know that he could still get extended or still get renewed."
BAKER: 'I'd be flattered' to manage Tigers
The Diamondbacks recently granted hitting coach Don Baylor permission to interview with the Los Angeles Angels for a lateral position he wound up accepting.
"But he's not our manager," Hall said of Baylor. "I think when it comes to manager, general manager, bench coach, those are key positions you want to retain. If someone has a chance to move up, I wouldn't get in the way. But if it's the manager, that's different."
Gibson grew up in Michigan and played on the last Tigers team to win the World Series. He also served as a broadcaster and bench coach for the club. According to CBS Sports, Gibson is on the Tigers' list of possible candidates for their opening.
Gibson has been with the Diamondbacks since 2007, serving as manager since midway through the 2010 season.

Ah.. boy, this'll be one hell of an Arc. He's really revealing everything he's left behind for the fans to think about ( In the past 6-7 years ) I sure do hope they show how Zabuza or however you spell his name, got one of the Seven Swords. That's probably the only thing that I'm interested at at the moment, atleast.
I wonder how long it'll take for Hinata to die and be revived again in this war. :9

Yea like we thought they were going to anyway lol a Sr. from Bama playing in the SHIP game. Yea ok lol
I like how they clearly called it an 'ABOVE the shoulder, Helmet to Helmet Hit'...........but 'we'll handle it internally' LOL!
I'm shocked - SHOCKED, I tell you - that suddenly the fiscal cliff and school shooting have reduced this matter to irrelevance.
I'm further shocked that, instead of just saying that the person in charge saw it differently than you after 10 days of frame-by-frame review, folks would choose to fall back on the old "the SEC protects Alabama" argument. Where was this protection when Bama was sucking hind teat, as Dustin recently pointed out?
The best of the best is yet to come!
Does it get nay better than this? ;-)
I'm not sure what this is, but The Music City Bowl isn't football.
That was pathetic USC. Simply, pathetic.

Morris LOUIS
Morris Louis Bernstein was born on 28 November 1912 in Baltimore, Maryland, of Russian parents. He attended the Maryland Institute of Fine and Applied Arts, Baltimore, between 1927 and 1932. In 1934 he was employed by the Public Works of Art Project[1] to assist in the painting of a mural in the library of Hampstead Hill School. He moved to New York in 1936, where he attended the workshop of the Mexican artist David Siqueiros and experimented with a variety of techniques and materials. He contributed to an exhibition at the American Contemporary Art Gallery, New York, in 1937, using the name 'Morris Louis'. Between 1939 and 1940 Louis was employed on the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), and in 1939 exhibited work with the WPA painters at the World's Fair, New York. He returned to Baltimore for a few years in the mid 1940s before moving to Silver Spring, Maryland, a suburb of Washington DC. Louis supported himself by teaching part-time at the Washington Workshop Center of the Arts and by giving private classes.
In 1953 Louis and Kenneth Noland visited New York, where the critic Clement Greenberg took them to the studio of Helen Frankenthaler. Louis' first solo exhibition took place immediately afterwards, at the Washington Center Art Gallery, although he was already working in a new way inspired by his New York visit. These paintings were shown at the exhibition Emerging talent, held at the Kootz Gallery, New York. Louis continued to exhibit regularly, but in 1957 a reassessment led him to destroy most of the paintings he had made between 1955 and 1957. He began working on his series of Veils at this time. The first Veil was exhibited at The international art of a new era: USA, Japan, Europe, in Osaka and then Philadelphia. More works from the series were shown in his 1959 solo exhibition at French and Company, New York, which was organised by Greenberg. Louis rapidly moved to other series: the Florals, the Unfurleds and the Stripes. In 1960 he held solo exhibitions in New York, London, Milan and Rome. In 1961 he was included in the exhibition American Abstract Expressionists and imagists at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, and later in Greenberg's exhibition of Post-Painterly Abstraction at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1964. Louis died in Washington DC on 7 September 1962. A retrospective of his work was held at the Musée de Grenoble in 1996.
[1] During the Great Depression, the Federal Art Projects of the Works Progress Administration saw artists employed to create murals and other public works, as well as art instruction and art research.

>General Running>Amsterdam midnight run
52° 21' North, 4° 52' East
Needs more cowbell!
• Keep doing stuff.
I just returned from a midnight run along the banks of the Amstel.
Now that was a bath...
My dogs are fast, not me
Now I'm off for the weekend to a cottage without internet acces, in an area without visible prostitution, but with beer and beautiful running courses.
I was amazed by the superior quality of the prostitutes
Speaking of beer, I wanna have a few with you. You've got some good stories. And a seriously wicked mind. Keep up the good work, while I go look for some ice ...
Midnight run in Amsterdam sounds enchanting. It is such a wonderful city. You are quite lucky to live there.
Kooky, thanks for unveiling aspects of New Zealand not covered in National Geographic. When I think New Zealand I think kiwis,flip-flopped seasons,Lord of the Rings, & Maoris. Now I can add lady-boys, to each their own.
I agree But the scenery in your picture doesn't look bad either!

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Rep. Jason Chaffetz visited Emery County for a town hall meeting in Castle Dale on Aug. 20. During the day 11 members of his staff visited sites on the San Rafael Swell and were entertained by Sheriff Greg Funk at the gun range. They visited the Wedge Overlook, sites in Buckhorn Draw including two rock art sites, the MK Tunnel, Swinging Bridge and nearby campground.
Rep. Chaffetz said he was glad to be in Emery County again and has visited three times in three weeks. He said the commissioners have been very helpful to him in learning about and tackling the issues of Emery County. He is looking forward to working as a team with the county. Each year he visits a city in the state and takes his staff out for a town meeting. This year he chose Emery County to get the thoughts and perspective from residents. He said he is on the Homeland Security committee and the oversight committee. He said government needs fiscal discipline and accountability.
One issue he has been working with is the investigation into the attack in Benghazi that killed the American ambassador. Prior to his death there were terrorist attacks on the embassy and nothing was done to beef up security or find the terrorists involved. One incident was a bomb tossed over the fence, another blew a hole in the fence. A Utah National Guard member who was there for security purposes requested fortifications and was denied. Then Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton actually reduced personnel at the embassy. Then on Sept. 11, 2012 another attack occurred killing four people and it was not until the next night that the wounded were taken out by helicopter. The current ambassador to Libya is a BYU graduate. "It's imperative we get this right. Utah sends people overseas in foreign service, ambassadors, LDS missionaries, it's an important thing for Utah and the nation. Why was a death trap created, (in Libya) and why did our government lie to us. Government shouldn't lie to the people it represents. This administration has repeatedly lied to this nation. No one has been arrested, (in Libya) and we've not been told the truth."
Rep. Chaffetz said that fits into accountability and the government needs to admit its mistakes. The different branches of government must be held accountable. Clinton appointed a five person board to do a 60 day review and at the end this board found 29 systemic flaws/problems with how things were being handled in Libya. "How is it that five people in 60 days could find the problems, and Hillary couldn't find the problems in four years."
Rep. Chaffetz said the nation is in financial peril. When Pres. Obama took office the national debt was approaching $9 trillion.
The Utah State budget is $13 billion for a year. The feds spend $10 billion a day. They pay $600 million a day in interest. Democrats think we are just one tax increase away from prosperity. The deficit is the annual difference between revenues and debt. The President's budget he's presented four years in a row has never been balanced. The government continues to spend more than it collects. Pres. Obama has added 100,000 more workers, since becoming president. These workers are for oversight, more regulators and regulations.
People worry about jobs and the economy. They need to create an atmosphere where people will thrive. They don't know what the new tax code is? They don't know what Obamacare will bring. There's uncertainty. One of the biggest threats is the government can change the rules overnight and the people have no recourse. The national debt will be $17 trillion by the end of the year. We can't keep doing this. Interest rates will rise. The cost of feed is up, the cost of beef is up.
The mandatory programs like social security and hundreds of other programs are on auto pilot, 70 percent of expenditures fall into this category. Thirty percent falls into discretionary spending. Congress trimmed $100 billion out of discretionary spending. Rep. Chaffetz said he hopes the implementation of Obamacare can be delayed. The employer mandate has been delayed but the individual has not.
One audience member asked about the scandals this administration has been involved with including Fast and Furious, Dream Act, Cap and Trade, EPA and others. "What can be done to hold Washington accountable. This President has wiped his nose on the constitution."
Rep. Chaffetz said that's a hard question. It's hard to fix anything erroneous in the executive branch unless you go through the courts. With Fast and Furious the government gave the drug cartels guns. We can purchase guns for our personal use, but we can't purchase guns for others. People went in and were buying hundreds of guns and one of those guns was used to kill border patrol agent Bryan Terry. Subpoenas were ordered that the Department of Justice ignored. I'm proud to say we held the Attorney General in Contempt of Congress.
Next it went to a federal judge where we said please enforce these subpoenas and the judge said no. Next we will file suit.
Rep. Chaffetz said we need to pay attention to what's going on in our country or it will fall apart. "The voting rate is Utah is one of the worst in the nation. It's embarrassing. Some people think it's because of a dominant party."
A question was asked about immigration. Rep. Chaffetz said legal immigration must be fixed and the laws the country already has on the books should be enforced. "We need to encourage people to come in the front door. There are no consequences for being here illegally. Most of the people who are here illegally came here legally and then stayed. They liked it here."
Millions are allowed to enter the country on a day pass. But, there are no exit passes and no guarantees that those entering for a day will exit.
Rep. Chaffetz said he visited the border in April and while there a call came in that there were nine people coming across. He wanted to go and see them coming in. There is no fence. They were near Yuma. The people were Romanians. He was told they want to get caught. There's 2,000 miles of border and only 200 miles of it is patrolled. There's only 6 percent operational control of the border.
The people from Romania were listed as OTMs. This meant other than Mexicans. If Mexicans are caught they are fingerprinted, photographed and then taken back. One guy has had this done 44 times. The Romanians were taken to a detention center. People from 60 different countries have been through the detention centers. The people claim they want asylum in the United States. There are three judges in Phoenix who hear these cases and the next court dates these people can get are in 2020. So they stay in our country until their court date.
"There are people coming in by the millions. This is an abused system," said Rep. Chaffetz.
Rep. Chaffetz said he has supported five agricultural bills that deal with immigrant labor. "The President needs a plan to secure the border," said Rep. Chaffetz.
Rep. Chaffetz said there are 30 million more people on food stamps than 10 years ago. There are too many people milking the system. There are people who have legitimate needs and "poor souls who can't take care of themselves." Those are the people we need to help.
More part-time jobs have been created to avoid paying full benefits. It's happening all over.
"Thanks for allowing me to serve," said Rep. Chaffetz.
Earlier in the day Rep. Chaffetz met with the Deer Creek miners concerning their contract negotiations. He said they have some grievances with the company. He's not sure what he can do to help them, but he will check into it. Coal mining is an important employer in this area.
"The President has a war on coal. I believe in all types of energy. Coal is a part of that mix. It's not as dirty as the president portrays," said Rep. Chaffetz.

Today was really fun. The girls in my cabin are funny and nice but sometimes annoying. I was in the cabin with Tara, Sabrina, and Beth. Our counselors are Duchess and Wendy. When we went to swim for the swim test there were three places to swim. Me and Sabrina got a yellow cap. That means we get to swim the middle section. Beans, the life guard said I was a really good swimmer and asked if I wanted to be in the yellow section. Once we finished swimming we went straight to dinner. We had pizza and salad. My job was sweeper. When I got done I found the other girls and we went to get our medicine. Then we went to the opening camp fire.
After the campfire we had cake and ice cream. Sabrina and I got showers last. It was fun because she controlled my shower and I controlled hers. For a while the girls in our cabin were so loud that I couldn't get to sleep. Finally I did and then "Crash!". One of the girls lights fell and the top flew off of it. My boot fell on top of it. It shattered into a million pieces. We finally found all the pieces. Now I am trying to get to sleep again because we have to get up at 7:00 in the morning.

Mixed up Mosh Monday
It was really fun today. For breakfast we had biscuits and sausage. I mostly had sausage. After breakfast we went to archery. We had to shoot a takedown bow. It was much heavier than the bow I shoot at home. I thought I was going to miss but I didn't.
Then we went to ride the horses. I rode a horse named Chase. They said that he was stubborn and likes to roll in the sand. Chase is white and he sweats a lot. I like him though.
We also have a mouse who lives in our cabin. We named it Cheddar Cheese. It has a home over Tara's bed. We found it tonight and decided it would be our camp pet. We didn't touch it though.
Tuesday, June 16
For breakfast today we had grits and eggs. Then we went to ride the horses. First we got to muck out the stables. It was very fun and not too disgusting. After that we had to clean the pasture. I really missed the air conditioning then. Then I got to ride Chase. He was sleepy.
We went to the spillway for lunch and to play. After turtle time we went canoeing. Yeah!!! It was so much fun. They let us canoe barefooted. Then we went swimming. We were late getting there so we only got to swim for ten minutes. After that we had a camp swim.
The whole day was twin Tuesday but I was a triplet with Tara and Sabrina. Finally we had a shampoo party. The best part of that was when the counselors got hoses and used them to wash us off.
Wednesday, June 17
For breakfast we had bacon and french toast. Our group got to sing the blessing. I made one up. Then we went to ride the horses. We got to ride first today. Each day we got the same horse so I was on Chase. Today they let us make the horses trot. It was bumpy.
After that we went to the craft hut and made wind chimes. Then we went to the trading post. When we got there we could not get in to get ice cream so I bought a white horse and named him Chase. Then we went to lunch. At lunch we got to set the table and sing the Super Man blessing. The best news is that this whole time I have not seen one snake and I get to see Pony Girl everyday too.
We swam for what seemed like hours. I played with Mary Lee alot. Then we went back to camp to switch into real clothes.
We made supper in camp. I got to make the center piece. We tried to make a horse but it didn't turn out to well. We could have had either chicken and rice or lasagna. I had chicken and rice. Then we had cupcakes. We had tryouts to decide what we were going to sing at the campfire and we decided to sing Magdelina Hagdelena. I got teach it because only me and Sabrina knew it. Numa and Red Bud thought it was hysterical. Then we had s'mores and showers and went to bed.
Thursday, June 18
Today for breakfast we had grits and eggs again. Before we went to breakfast we had to feed the horses. While they were eating I got to help Sabrina groom Dusty. Chase isn't good at getting in the stall so I didn't get to groom him. It was still too early to ride them so we went to breakfast. After that we went to archery. we got to shoot at balloons. I think I would have hit mine if it weren't for that heavy take down bow.
Next we went to the craft hut. We were supposed to make baskets but we didn't have enough time so we made Father's Day cards instead.
Then we went for ice cream. After turtle time we got everyone to sign our shirts. Then we went to ride horses. Today we went on a trail ride. Chase kept on stopping to eat grass. On the trail we got to trot some too. It was really fun. After that we went to swimming. It seemed shorter than we thought it should. The lake wasn't really all that gross it was just sandy. Then we had supper and went to the closing camp fire. Our group sang Magdelina Hagdelina and did the Pebbles skit. The we did wish boats and the circle.
Friday, June 19
This morning I was up early. For breakfast we had pancakes and sausage. Then we went to the rec hall. We went to play games. One game we played was called I Love All My Girl Scout Buddies. Then we played a game where you have to go through a hula hoop while holding hands and try to get it back where it started. Next we went for a canoe race. The girls on my canoe were all on one side so that when we ran into other canoes ours almost tipped over. One canoe got disqualified because some girl stood up in it.
After that we went for a swim race on the kick boards. Sabrina got first place and I got fifth. Next we had a group swim. Finally, we had turtle time and it was time to pack up to go home. It really wasn't as hard to get all my stuff in my bag as my mom said it would be.

One of the Star Trek franchise's most enduring legacies in science fiction is the fictional "warp drive" technology that enables faster-than-light travel. It's not the kind of thing that can be achieved with conventional rockets, but that doesn't mean it's entirely outside the realm of scientific plausibility. In fact, there's a long tradition of physicists writing speculative technical papers suggesting ways in which a warp drive or hyperdrive might come about.
The problem is that Einstein's theory of relativity says that no object with mass can match or exceed the speed of light, since its mass will increase along with its acceleration. Even in giant particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland, tiny subatomic particles can reach 99.9% of the speed of light without ever matching or surpassing it. So physicists decided that the trick is moving spacetime itself. The latest proposal, just this past June, involved creating a bubble of spacetime using dark energy or some other form of unspecified "exotic matter."
"The idea is that you take a chunk of spacetime and move it," says Marc Millis, who used to head up NASA's Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Project. "The vehicle inside that bubble thinks that it's not moving at all. It's the spacetime that's moving." You can hear more about this from Millis himself in this video at Space.com (embedding disabled), complete with selected clips from the many science fiction films over the years that have depicted faster-than-light travel through space. It's truly a case of Hollywood inspiring science through fiction, and science inspiring Hollywood in turn with a new host of ideas for space travel in the future.
