Good location beside the beach. Nice breakfast. Having to pay for gym and room safe
The staff were exceptional in all areas and recognising my wife's birthday and arranging a breakfast surprise just made it. The breakfast was excellent every day and made the overall value superb. We only ate in the Feng Shui Asian restaurant but it was by far the best value meal of our 5 night stay and of outstanding quality. Nothing about the hotel but watch for the prices outside! Cocktails were 6 euros in the hotel and 8 euros outside!
Location close to the beach, restaurants and shops. Room little bit old fashioned, long way from reception.
lovely room with jaccuzzi on the deck, close to the beach sterile anonumous athmosphere
Located as close as possible to the excellent beach. I am happy I took a room with a sea view. Free parking was also handy for me.
liked the location bedrooms need to be upgraded and suites are small
All the staff were so obliging and helpful - the facilities were excellent and the food was great. The bed was very hard and I found it difficult to sleep on it. By the time the week was over my neck and back were very sore.
Excellent service, quiet, comfortable and well located.The Feista held on Thursdays was entertaining. The public areas are overstyled!
everthing was perfect
As a solo traveler, the comfort, the location, the security and english channels on the tv were important. I enjoyed my stay and would go back. This hotel is part of The Nostrum Resort so Sir Anthony and Medditerian Palace are all in same complex. Glad i choose The Cleopatra, very nice hotel.
Nothing. The food was absolutly horribly bad.
The location was excellent and the food was even better. I thought the island in the middle of the pool reserved for privileged guests as offensive and very discriminative. If the H10 wants those type of people they should make it a 5 star and not a hotel for hard working less better off guests. Reminded me of a monkey island in a zoo.
location everything else- not friendly staff, not comfortable beds, noisy disco in hotels yard. No minibar or even refregirator, you have even pay for the safebox. For me the most terrible hotel in spain/
The staff were very friendly, the hotel was central to everywhere. The pools were nice and clean. We went half board and the food was lovely, plenty of choice of meals to suit everyone. I got fish one night and it was cooked fresh infront of me, really nice. The cleaners were very friendly and did a brilliant job. Only bad point, when checking in had to wait nearly an hour, staff on desk were very slow and I noticed same problem with others but after We got checked in had a pleasant stay, from bar staff to cleaners was made to feel very welcome. I would definately return to this hotel.
The location was great. The hotel was clean with good facilities. The food was average and the rooms are ready for decoration.
Very good
The Conquistador is an ideal situation and people return to this hotel year after year!
Hotel was convenient for all the shops and facilities of the resort. The staff were very helpful. Good entertainment at night. Very clean hotel and the rooms and public areas were kept immaculate. Food quantity and variety was very good, however, some of the quality was not up to standard. Also the food from the hot buffet was not as hot as we would have liked. Often by the time I got the food back to the table it was onlt luje warm. Meat tended to be tough, especially the steaks and the lamb chops. Mine was raw in the middle on occasion.
very nice pool good choice of food staff very helpful corridors need new carpets and some floor tile work in need of repair around pool
The hotel is at the center of the tourist area and at the same time by the beach front. The hotel is clean with good facilities. The swimming pool area is very well organised with four different sections of the swimming pools. The entertainment team is excellent and they always have something going especially for the kids. The food is excellent and of a very good quality. The staff is helpfull and friendly. Good value for money. Having to wake up early in the morning and place your towels in sunbeds around the pool area to reserve a place for the rest of the day.
Room smaller than expected
swim poll
i asked to join the expo club as this was our 4th trip to your hotel. can you please send me the necessary forms to join. i was happy enough except that we didnt get to the pool and chill out area on 6th floor.
Good location, very friendly staff, good cuisine, very clean and comfortable.
location food
Great location hotel, just a step away from the beach. Brilliant pool area, big and immaculately clean. Plenty of beds. Pool towels included, changed as often as you want. Freshwater pool not salt water! A tired hotel that needs a refurb, a good tidy up. Shower drenched the bathroom floor. Drinks and snacks are pricey. Would be good if there was a better poolside bar/shop. Supermarket near by offers a cheaper alternative. Decor looks grand probably was a 5 star back when it opened but not anymore.
location and views bathrooms very old fittings
I liked the admophair the staff the breakfeast and the other meals
best location in tenerife bathrooms need refurbishing
Relaxing and friendly No
We didn't like the room and we moved to the cleopatra hotel in the same resort wich was much cleaner and the view was awsome-to the ocean. The pool was cleaner. The furniture was old, the sheets were not as clean as for a five star hotel. The hotel was almost three stars.
the friendlieness of the cleaning staff and house keeping staff. also that it was comfortable for older people. The pool area was also very pleasant. We arrived and our hotel room at 5pm and it was not ready. I specified that I wanted a hotel room on the 3rd floor or upwards. They said at reception that this was not possible. So they put us in a room on the ground floor for 1 night. It was uncomfortable and loud. We did not get much sleep after our long journey from Germany. The next day they said they would change our room, but only to a room on the 1st floor which was not what we asked for, but it was better than the room on the ground floor. This room was also wrong. We booked a twin room and this room was a double room. So they had to put in an extra bed. This took about 3 hours to organise. We were in Tenerife 2 days, and were still not happy with our room. It was a nightmare to organise. The staff at reception were not very helpful and sometimes agressive and not very understanding. We had travelled so far, were so tired, and they did not make this any easier on us. We understood that the hotel was busy etc. but I booked the room in November and specified exactly what we needed, which was not alot. When we finally got the extra bed in our room, we then began to enjoy our stay. But this was after 2 days in the hotel.
the food was very nice with alot of selection and the rooms were nice it was all very good but we were among the very few young couples
Staff were friendly and tried to help.Public areas of the hotel were comfortable . The beds were uncomfortable , the room wasn't clean , there were no tea/coffee making facilities , no drinking water , and very poor sound insulation - we could hear clearly normal-volume conversations in neighbouring rooms .
Good food, locality and facilities. Yes. At the poolside young adults were allowed to play music without personal headsets therefore annoying guests.
Great central location. Decent selection of food. Nice pool and plenty of sunbeds. Very uncomfortable beds! Noise from surrounding bars at night
Excellent location, good value for money. Food was boring, service was a bit poor. Rooms needs renovation.
Location Unhelpful and unfriendly staff, the length of time at check-in, poor choice in the buffet, overcrowded restaurant, lack of pool side service,
excellent location and pool and breakfast choice The hotel reception was the worst I have experienced . 45 mins to check in. Clueless and could not care attitude. Needs major surgery
Excellent facilities and value for money.
the location was perfect for us the rooms both refurbished and not were small and nasty the catering was horrid and there were too many people for the facilities not enough sun chairs and we were asked to pay for pool facilities i,e, towel and cushion we were under the impression this was a luxury hotel it ruined our 30th wedding anniverary break
This is an excellent hotel in an outstanding location in Playa De Las Americas. Situated right on the beach, we used the small beach right outside the hotel a couple times, even though the shore was a bit rocky. A nicer, larger beach can be found on the other side of Puerto Colon, known as Torviscas Playa. The food was very good, and the selection was absolutely huge, although I have had better food at other resorts. There is certainly something here to be found for everyone. I had requested a room on a higher floor to avoid any noise that may occur at lower levels, and they accomodated my request with a nice 10th floor room with a beautiful view overlooking Puerto Colon, Torviscas, and the sea. All hotel staff was very accomodating! Hotel room was a bit small and out-dated, and in need of remodeling. Beds were very hard.
Breakfast, pool area, location. Rooms a bit outdated, elevators hard to catch.
The room was basic but the hotel was excellent, half board was a good deal and the food choice very good. The hotel was in an good position for the beach, bars etc. None
Location and hotel facilities. Room,lack of conveniently placed elect sockets. Bed on wheels not very stable.In all room not up to standard compared with other facilities in hotel.
The location near the beach was excellent. The food was varied and delicious (we had halfboard). We also liked the active animation-team and the entertainment (for both kids and adults). The much-needed airconditioning did it's job perfectly during the hot weather. The room was big enough and kept clean, it also had a nice seaview from the balcony. And last but not least - the staff was very helpful and friendly. There's nothing really negative to say about this hotel. Maybe the fact that the drinks are a bit expensive at dinner/in the bar.
We have stayed there often in the past and really like the warmth and professionalism of the staff Some facilities could benefit from a "face lift"
Nice location, beside the beach and promenade, friendly staff, nice breakfast and super view from our 8th floor room.
The choice of food at breakfast and dinner was excellent. Very attentive, hard working waiters. The hotel has bright and spacious puclic areas. There was good entertainment for families. There are not really enough lifts for the number of people staying in the hotel. Bedrooms could do with a refresh.
you could get easy from the airport to the hotel,it was very close to the beach, it had a very big restaurant with a good program, outside the hotel is the meeting poit for many trips like Jungle park, San Miguel Castel,etc, tv channels in 4languages english,german,italian,spanish the furniture and the painting in the hotel room are a little too old, and this was unpleasant(I speak on the behalf of my room)
The breakfast buffet was very large. The view from the room and location were ideal. The bed was a bit stiff.
Hotel very nice and in good location. Food really nice with plenty of choice. Two big swimmingpools and well equipted new gim. Very friendly animation team (international). Rooms furnitures quite old...and I would say the same about other hotel guests;) 70% of all guests were over 70 years old..mostly British..In the morning they booked best places near swimming pool (thou it is not allowed) and spent there no more then 30 minutes in the afternoon...Slow lifts especialy during meals..better take floors 1-3 and use stairs if possible.
Very relaxing Too far out, not much going on in the area
Although the hotel was only 35% full the sunbathing area on the lawned area as well as by the poolside was excellent and spacious. The breakfast was well provided for with free champagne if you wanted it. The prices charged for drinks and snacks were expensive, which we were warned about by the locals! I.E. 4.5 euros for half a litre of bottled water, which resulted in many people going to the local spa, across the road and stocking up with provisions, slightly embarassing when re- entering through the main entrance but unusally the staff did nit seem to mind this and on a good note we were actually provided with an empty 2nd fridge in our room, which we were told was for our own personal use
Excellent breakfast buffet, Great Spa with friendly professional therapists Staff/ service in Breakfast Room. Felt if you were not in a Club Room you were ignored
Big room, good bed View could have been better
The tranquil atmosphere, we went to relax and we did.
Staff were very friendly and the facilities were very good Restaurants were mixed. Food very good in Japanese, but service was appalling.
Location, comfort, peace and quiet in the rooms, beds, efficency of the staff and the hotel had a nice feel to it. Too many noisy children and having to struggle to secure a sun lounger from the Saturday onwards. Also, the restaurants and refreshments at the hotel were very expensive.
Nice, spacious room.Beautiful swimming pools, Very good breakfast buffet.Quiet.Beatiful location next to La Caleta with good walking possibilities along the seaside. Mediocre restaurants. Drinks and food expensive.Premium De Luxe Room with sea view: somewhat poor view of the sea and closed in balcony.Better towels.
Excellent hotel; perfect location; very good animation for kids
room was great, very clean and spacious. Nice walk to the beaches close to playa de las america.Staff is very formal
Very good breakfast and location
location, athmosphere
breakfast, cleaning, view, pool construction outside
We spent a fantastic time in this hotel. We"ll be back for sure. It was one of the best holidays we've had. The hotel has a very good location, nice pool, very nice staff and perfect service. Very tasty various meals. The hotel was not overcrowded, there were plenty of sunbeds. Good entertainment program during the day and in the evening. Tiny pillows. Useless ancient hair dryer. Poor noise insulation. The walls are so thin you can hear everything the people are saying or doing in the next room. The evening entertainment program started too late (22.45). Unfortunately, the beach doesn't belong to a hotel due to the Spanish legislation, that's why it's so dirty. The sand was full of cigarette butts and packs, tissues, beer caps and other litter.
this was the second time we stayed. The staff are very very helpfull. The food is excellent and the junior suites are lovely rooms. nothing negative
It was a friendly place busy but not loud.. driving it was hard to find no signs off the main road..
we liked the hotel very much because it is not to big. our favourite was the restaurant and the food in there. the food was excellent.
Towels changed everyday staff at reception very friendly and helpful close to everything but not in a noisy area had the best of both lives ie could have a mad night r could just relax and have peace and quiet I found Insects in my bathroom floor everyday we were on ground floor and they used to put on a water feature every morning early and woke us up each morning we were English speaking and the entertainment each night was in Spanish so very dissappointed
Breakfast was fabolous
Location,have stayed before. No

May 13, 2011
Statement from Alex Counts, President and CEO of Grameen Foundation, on the resignation of microfinance pioneer Professor Muhammad Yunus, winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize and founder of Grameen Bank.
The resignation of Professor Muhammad Yunus yesterday marks an important transition in the work and mission of Grameen Bank. For 35 years, his deep commitment to the world's poorest people and unshakeable belief in their power to help themselves escape poverty have shaped the work of the Bank and its more than 26,000 employees in Bangladesh. His ideals, which have inspired countless others and helped to build a global movement to empower the poor through access to financial services, do not end with his term as Grameen Bank's managing director.
Throughout his career, Professor Yunus has never been afraid to speak his mind nor challenge the status quo, earning both praise and criticism in many quarters. He dispelled prevailing notions about the abilities of poor people by creating Grameen Bank, which today serves more than 8.3 million people across Bangladesh. His recognition of poverty's complexity also led to the creation of the Grameen family of companies, which focus on solving problems related to a range of issues, including hunger, educational disparities and access to affordable energy. (For more information about the Grameen family of companies, see M. Khalid Shams' paper, Accelerating Poverty Reduction in Bangladesh Through the Grameen Family of Companies: Building Social Enterprises as Business Ventures]. That voice of reason will continue to echo, as will his unrelenting quest to promote social businesses and other changes that benefit poor people.
His bold vision of a world free from poverty has unleashed a powerful force that will continue, both in Bangladesh and abroad. I'm proud to say that he planted the early seeds of Grameen Foundation. He also played a pivotal role in launching the Microcredit Summit Campaign in 1997, which achieved its nine-year goal of reaching more than 100 million poor families with microcredit – and has now launched a second goal of reaching 175 million by 2015. Equally important, he has inspired individuals in such diverse places as Haiti, India and Nigeria to launch organizations modeled after Grameen Bank to provide hope and opportunity to poor people in those countries.
We salute Professor Yunus for urging us all to do more and press further to make poverty a thing of the past, and will continue to work with him to reach this admirable goal. We also look forward to Grameen Bank and its 8.3 million borrower-owners continuing its long, proud tradition of being a beacon for the microfinance community, and call on the Bangladesh government to respect the independence of Grameen Bank during this new era. As Prof. Yunus said in his resignation statement, "I hope Grameen Bank will continue to operate, maintaining its independence and character under the Grameen Bank Ordinance and move toward even greater success."
Prof yuinus.
You know what you have done.People know's what you have done . there is enough time for rest of the world to fallow you.People who have struggel for food, water,cloths, and shelleter knows your commitment towards them. Thank you Dr yunus
Now Professor Yunus will at least have more time for speaking engagements and possibly some new creations. It could be a blessing in disguise.
Professor Yunus is a beacon to the world. Nothing can ever extinguish this light.....because it is the light of love, respect and compassion. It liberates people from slavery and restores dignity and humankindness. The power of this light has become exponential, it has spread far and wide and nothing can stop it.
i thank the prof so much for grameen's achievements in bagladesh and the world so far. prof please come to nigeria and other sub sahara africa countries and help us build our microfinance institutions. your mission will not be accomplished until mdg goal number one is achieved.

Activated Omar Infante (2B) from Detroit's 15-day disabled list
Optioned Hernan Perez (IF) to Toledo
After being sidelined for more than a month, stemming from the hard and questionable slide in Toronto, Infante returns to the lineup to help fill a void that was quickly becoming apparent since Jhonny Peralta hit the disabled list.
Perez remains a talented youngster with a bright future, however, he was hitting just .214 in Detroit with little patience and just one extra base hit in 56 at-bats. The cameo also provided some information to the Tigers on his current readiness, and potential to be ready for a full-time job next spring, with Infante's pending free agency.
For now however, the Tigers get a hard hitting member of the lineup back, as Infante was hitting over .300 with 26 extra base hits prior to hurting his ankle.

Placed Alex Avila (C ) on 7-day disabled list with concussion-like symptoms, retroactive to 8/10
Recalled Bryan Holaday (C ) from Toledo
Avila was checked out after a foul ball to the facemask in Cleveland sidelined him for a couple days, but he was cleared to play on Saturday and did. After the game however, he felt dizzy and nauseous, and while it's likely just lingering side effects, the Tigers don't want to take any risks with his health, and the alternate catching options on the roster (Victor Martinez and Don Kelly) are really just emergency options at this point in time.
Brayan Pena becomes the most days catcher for the next week or so, with Holaday filling in for possibly a game or two.
Avila has been struggling this season, but has still been reliable behind the plate. In addition, his offense had perked up over the last month, hitting .273 with an .831 OPS since the All-Star break.

Acquired Jose Iglesias (SS) from Boston Red Sox in exchange for Avisail Garcia (OF) and Brayan Villarreal (RHP)
As can often be the case with general manager Dave Dombrowski, on the same day he stated they were comfortable with their middle infield situation, they swung a big trade, landing the Cuban shortstop in Iglesias, who has been shining for the Red Sox thus far this season.
Plenty of players frequently have the term "Gold Glove-caliber" thrown around about them - but Iglesias is the real deal. While his bat is still a work in progress (despite what his .330 average would lead you to believe), his defense isn't just big league ready, but arguably dramatically shifts the landscape of the Tigers infield, assuming he slides in at shortstop. Longer term, he has the potential to hit for a solid average with some gap power.
This deal is obviously cover for the expected suspension of Jhonny Peralta, who has long been rumored to be linked to the Biogenesis scandal. Further, Peralta is a free agent at the end of the season, while Iglesias is just 23 and three years away from free agency.
While many assumed that Garcia would be off-limits, the opportunity to flip him for a player of similar potential and skill, at a position of need, clearly trumped the desire to hang onto Avisail. Villarreal is likely a throw-in piece as someone the Red Sox hope is a couple of tweaks away from regaining his effectiveness.
Never a dull moment for Dombrowski, who if there was any uncertainty, left no doubt remaining at this point that the Tigers are ready to win now, and not leaving any potentail suspensions up to chance.

Acquired Jose Veras (RHP) from Houston Astros in exchange for Danry Vasquez (OF) and a player to be named later, by 9/15
The Tigers pulled the trigger on the reliever everyone knew they needed on Monday morning, acquiring Veras in exchange for Vasquez and a PTBNL. Veras is an ideal fit for the Tigers short-term needs; an affordable contract for a pitcher who has been very effective closing this season in Houston, and has been a very good setup man in the past. Veras this season has an ERA under three, an FIP and xFIP in the mid-3's, and a K:BB ratio over three. Said Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski, in a release announcing the deal: "We are pleased to add an experienced arm to our bullpen," Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski said in a release. "Jose can pitch in a variety of roles, provides depth in the bullpen and complements the roles of Joaquin Benoit and Drew Smyly."
The Tigers definitely paid a high price though, giving up Vasquez, plus another player that will be named by mid-September. Vasquez was signed out of Venezuela in 2010 with a $1.2 million signing bonus, and has consistently been among the top five prospects in the organization since being signed. He checked in at #5 on the TigsTown 2013 Midseason Top Ten. At age 19, he's hitting .281 in West Michigan with a .723 OPS, and has plus potential at the plate. He's likely at least two, and probably three, years away from being ready for a major league assignment.
Given his youth and the organizational strength at the position with players like Nick Castellanos, Avisail Garcia, Steven Moya, Daniel Fields and Tyler Collins, it's a position of wealth, arguably the only one right now, and a player far enough away from contributing that he was ultimately expendable.
There's no word yet on the accompanying PTBNL, potentially indicating that the Astros have a list of players to choose from who they'll be scouting in coming weeks to identify the right fit.

Placed Jess Todd (RHP) on Toledo's 7-day disabled list
Transferred Ramon Garcia (LHP) to Erie from Toledo
Transferred Patrick Cooper (RHP) to Lakeland from Erie
Signed Jair Jurrjens (RHP) to minor league contract, assigned to Toledo
Placed Jose Valverde (RHP) on Toledo's temporary inactive list
Assigned Austin Kubitza (RHP) to Lakeland from GCL Tigers
Transferred Dean Green (1B/DH) to West Michigan from Lakeland
Placed Kyle Ryan (LHP) on Lakeland's 7-day disabled list with a blister on his throwing hand
Activated Kevin Eichhorn (RHP) from Lakeland's 7-day disabled list
Transferred Tim Remes (C ) to GCL Tigers from Lakeland
Transferred Zach Kirksey (OF) to GCL Tigers from West Michigan
Activated Austin Green (C ) from Connecticut's 7-day disabled list
Jair Jurrjens officially returns to the organization and joins the Mud Hens, where the Tigers will look for him to provide starting pitching depth at the upper levels of the organization, and see if he can regain the form that made him a Rookie of the Year candidate and All-Star.
Elsewhere, some fans had a bit of a scare of when lefty prospect Kyle Ryan hit the disabled list, just the latest in a long run of Lakeland pitchers to head to the disabled list this season. However, the injury is just a blister on one of his fingers on his throwing hand, and shouldn't sideline him for an extended period of time.

Signed Jeremy Bonderman (RHP) to minor league contract, assigned to Toledo
Activated Kenny Faulk (LHP) from Toledo's 7-day disabled list
Placed Brayan Villarreal (RHP) on Toledo's 7-day disabled list with sprained right thumb
Placed Pat Misch (LHP) on Toledo's 7-day disabled list
Placed Derek Hankins (RHP) on Toledo's temporary inactive list
Transferred Jon Link (RHP) to Toledo from Erie
Zach Maggard (C ) retired from Erie
Activated Warwick Saupold (RHP) from Erie's 7-day disabled list
Placed Joe Rogers (LHP) on Lakeland's 7-day disabled list
Assigned Tim Remes (C ) to Lakeland from GCL Tigers
Placed Austin Green (C ) on Connecticut's 7-day disabled list
Placed Franklin Navarro (C ) on GCL Tigers' 7-day disabled list
Placed David Paulino (RHP) on GCL Tigers' 60-day disabled list with a right elbow injury
The evolution of the Mud Hens' bullpen continues, as former Tigers' starting pitcher Jeremy Bonderman joins the group, with the organization continuing to search for usable bullpen arms. Kenny Faulk also returns from the disabled list as Brayan Villarreal heads to it - both at this point are outside possibilities to help the Tigers this year. Bonderman did toss a scoreless inning of relief in his first appearance on Friday, striking out one.
Most concerning beyond Toledo is the news out of the GCL, with two prominent names hitting the disabled list; Paulino had impressed so far this summer, but an elbow injury looks like it will sideline him until 2014. Navarro's injury isn't thought to be as serious, but nonetheless another prominent name getting caught by the injury bug.

What rate are you getting per hive per week?
You should probably be able to tell just by looking at it Oz. If it looks like a giant queen excluder or coarser, then the bees can get through, if it is finer than that, approaching a shadecloth type of mesh then it will keep them out. I use a shadecloth surround around some of my hive to force the girls up into the air so they don't bother the kids in the backyard.I understand your feeling about some of the girls not getting home but I think your losses will be higher if you keep changing over the hives.
Does it definitely let bees through it malachii? I'll have the specs of this actual cloth tomorrow to know for sure
Ozzie,I don't see how less than an acre could be enough to support one or more hives considering bees normally forage several kilometers. You said the supplies are good. It will be interesting to know if supplies decrease after having them in the orchard or if the hive/s maintain their strength. Have caution with pollen supplement if you use it as I've read it can attract shb. Thanks for the photos. Let us know the progress.Lone

I've fired a Derringer in 32 before, that is all. Sorry...
I dont know if this is the right place to post this but here it goes! Has anyone ever had one in .22mag? Or head of them? I really want one and it is only $100
I've fired a Derringer in 32 before, that is all. Sorry...
JUst fired? Ever owned? Do you remember who made it?Originally Posted by Shipwreck
It belonged to my ex-wife's family - I was married for years before. So, I "owned" it for a while. Can't remember who it was made by.
IMHO, a derringer is a waste of money. It is only accurate a very short distance. But a Keltec or something if U want a tiny gun.
I would have to agree with Shipwreck. Save the $100 bucks and put it towards something else. Shot a friends once, but it didn't peak my interest very much.
I dont really want it for a good defense gun. That is what .45 is for :-D I want it mainly for light plinking and as a bbq gun.
But, more than a few feet away, and U won't even hit the paper on the target. It is not a plinker - not by a long shot.
My opinion: If you want one just to say you have one, then by all means get it. Other than that they are just a waste of money.
I think an expensive target 22 would be more fun if you want to plink with.
Davis Industries in Chino, PRK make these guns. They have them in .22Mag. Google them...!!
Yeah I know who makes them. There is not to much on google. I have been going around forums asking to get first hand opinions. ThanksOriginally Posted by 1911driver
I think U'd be better off spending that $100 towards a laser, tac light, more mags, new holster or a 22, as said above...

The Atlanta Thrashers earned a 3-2 home-ice win with shootout goals by Marian Hossa and Vyacheslav Kozlov while both Saku Koivu and Sergei Kostitsyn of the Canadiens couldn't beat goalie Kari Lehtonen at the other end of the ice.
Hossa was successful on his shootout effort, drilling one past Canadiens goalie Cristobal Huet, while Kozlov followed with a pretty deke to score.
Koivu was pokechecked by Lehtonen, and Kostitsyn's attempt to deke and go high was blocked by the Atlanta goalie's pad.
The Canadiens handily outshot their hosts 36-25 through three periods – they were 3-3 in overtime – but came up short nevertheless, earning a single point for their work.
Huet was totally fooled by Kozlov's game-opening goal at 4:31 of the first period, fanning on a 40-foot snap shot from along the boards near the faceoff circle to his right.
It took a few minutes for the Canadiens to rediscover the skating legs they showed early, but industrious work by Koivu finally set up linemate Sergei Kostitsyn for the Russian rookie's second career goal in as many games, this one coming on a rebound off Koivu's close-in shot past Lehtonen at 12:16.
For the first time in the longest time, the Canadiens dominated the first period, outshooting their hosts 11-5.
The second period was largely a circus of missed chances, the Canadiens outshooting Atlanta 14-12. They seemed headed to their dressing rooms tied at one until Atlanta's Éric Perrin put the Thrashers in front with 1:07 to go on the power play, converting a short cross-crease pass from Hossa over a prone Huet.
Alex Kovalev's 15th of the season put the Canadiens back on even footing, blasting a 43-foot slap shot from the faceoff circle that found its way beneath Lehtonen's trapper at 8:20. Though not a power-play goal, it might as well have been – Atlanta's Ilya Kovalchuk was out of the box just one second when Kovalev tied the score.
The Habs didn't make things easy for themselves in the final two minutes of regulation time. Defenceman Roman Hamrlik took a minor penalty for holding the stick with 1:45 left to play, but the Canadiens resisted good Thrashers pressure, including a blocked shot by Francis Bouillon with seconds left, to force overtime.
The Canadiens left immediately after the game for Dallas, where they play sniper Mike Ribeiro and his Stars tonight.

The wait is almost over -- who's ready to play?
This Sunday, April 6th, Game of Thrones' fourth season is set to get real. Really real. Real to death. And when HBO plays the Game of Thrones everyone wins, except maybe the cast. NO SPOILERS or anything but -- in the spirit of keeping it real -- everyone knows by now that no one in this high fantasy saga is "safe" by any meaning of the word. In a recent interview Scottish actor Rory McCann, who portrays Sandor "The Hound" Clegane in the series, claims to cautiously read through the ninth episode script for each season while quaffing a glass of whisky, prepped for death and distress not unlike that major drama bomb that dropped back in S1E9. Of course it doesn't help that the show's writers sometimes insert fake death scenes into scripts just to freak out their already nervous troupe, prompting stars to worry in advance about life and work after landing a hit series. British actor Kit Harington, John Snow on the show, explains, "We all flip through the scripts when we get them to see if we live or die, but the writers are very cruel; they sometimes write fake scenes to kill someone off and then that actor will be kind of out of a job and scared." Even hunky Hawaiian actor Jason Momoa, undeterred by the premature demise of his beloved character, Khal Drogo, in season one, has attempted to write his own way back on to the show, saying, "It's a fantasy world, sweetheart. You never know!" Yeah, no.
To give non-readers an idea of just how much death the series deals in, on the left is an image of the five (of the planned seven) published books, collectively known as A Song of Ice and Fire, with each death marked by a brightly colored post-it, like a bizarre murder rainbow. It's difficult to assess who is more relentless, author George R.R. Martin or whoever went through the trouble of tallying every death in the books. At the moment, the HBO series is only halfway through that green book in the middle, A Storm of Swords, which means that the seasonal thinning of the cast will be no less brutal than anything we have previously seen. On a more positive note, the scope of the show stands to expand further this season, revealing new faces and places on the map we've only ever heard mentioned before while also returning to some of the previously established family seats n' things that have been out of play for a while.

Draper • Bible school.
Those two words conjure up images of scripture-toting students confined to their desks, dissecting Deuteronomy, probing Proverbs and ripping into Romans.
But plop "vacation" in front of the phrase and you get grade-schoolers dancing to the lyrics "we're going to ride with Jesus yeehaw," instructors reading from the Good Book with a cowboy drawl and posters with the warning "Wanted by God Reward Awaits You in Heaven."
At least that's how it was at this summer's Vacation Bible School for Draper's St. John the Baptist Catholic Church.
The northeast corner of Juan Diego Catholic High School was transformed into the wild, wild West for the five-day SonWest Roundup as 120 grade-schoolers gathered to sing songs about God's love, pray before snacks and play games to build teamwork.
Fun, food and faith all with an Old West flavor.
"The faith is part of their moral development," said Monsignor Terence Moore, pastor at St. John the Baptist. "It's important that they know the love of the Lord in their lives."
Vacation Bible Schools (VBS, for short) began in New York in 1898, when Virginia Sinclair Hawes, a Southern Baptist, launched Everyday Bible School, a nondenominational summer program to keep children off the streets. Such schools then spread into the Midwest and moved south before crossing the Mississippi. Now, churches in Utah and across the country hold Vacation Bible Schools to entertain youngsters and enhance their faith.
"I love that my kids are getting a fun way of learning our faith," said Christa Aquilla, whose children attended SonWest. "VBS gets them a firm foundation in the faith we believe in."
At SonWest, the days began at 8:30 a.m. with VBS director Karin Hurley calling out, "Howdy, pardner," to get the kids' attention. After a morning prayer and a skit acting out a Bible story with a Western theme, the children moved through five activity stations with their cowboy-hat-clad group leaders. At the music station, the kids learned songs and dances to perform for their families on the last day of camp. At the snack station, campers built their own Western-themed treats out of cookies, candies and icing. Outside, at the games station, they learned teamwork by pretending to be horses and riders while trying to get water-soaked balls into tubs of water. Back inside, volunteer Judy Robins read Bible stories in a Western accent.
"We encourage all the volunteers to interact with the kids with unbridled enthusiasm," Hurley said. "Our motto is the cornier the better."
With almost 65 volunteers, enthusiasm ran wild. Adult and teen volunteers wore cowboy boots and bandannas. Some even dressed in full costume. Cowboy slang became part of the language.
"I'm having fun and I like it," said a kindergarten camper as he decorated a tote bag to look like a sheriff's vest at the craft station.
The idea for a Vacation Bible School came to St. John the Baptist Catholic Church when some parishioners came to Utah from the Midwest and the South.
"I moved from Kentucky where my kids had a VBS," said Kristen Mullen, director of religious education at St. John. "We wanted one here, but I needed someone to take it on."
Shelly Berget was that someone. Berget moved west from a parish in Illinois, where her children participated in a VBS she directed. When the family moved, her kids asked if there would be a VBS in Utah. Berget couldn't find one near Draper.
"My kids were sad to find out there wasn't any around," Berget said.
After her family members settled into their new home, Berget approached Mullen about starting a VBS at St. John and learned other parents wanted one as well. A few planning meetings later and St. John had its first VBS staged in 2009.
"It was very successful," Berget said. "We had 80 kids and 30 teen volunteers."
St. John's school was such a hit, in fact, that other parishes wanted in. So St. John opened up the event and had 120 campers in the second year.
After five years, it's still a rip-roarin' good time. Campers return year after year, and parents eagerly volunteer. Even teens give up a week of their summers to help.
"My kids have told me they want to come every year as a camper," Robins said. "They want to be junior helpers [when they get] in middle school, too."
For parishioners of all ages, St. John's Vacation Bible School is loads of fun, and the gospel theme keeps Jesus the life of the party.

Congressional testimony postponed
Congressional testimony postponed
NEW YORK -- Though the reaction to the release of George Mitchell's Report from Capitol Hill was immediate, a Tuesday hearing featuring the former Democratic Senator from Maine has been postponed until Jan. 15, a spokesman for the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said late Friday. Mitchell, Commissioner Bud Selig and Don Fehr, the executive director of the Players Association, all are invited and have agreed to appear before the committee next month. "We look forward to their testimony on whether the Mitchell report's recommendations will be adopted and whether additional measures are needed," the Committee chairman Henry Waxman and ranking minority member Tom Davis said in a joint statement. "We want to commend Commissioner Selig for authorizing this investigation and thank Senator Mitchell for his dedication to this effort."
Mitchell's report offers 19 recommendations to beef up the current drug policy in three areas: investigation, education and improved drug testing. Only six of them -- all in the area of drug testing -- must be collectively bargained with the union. Selig said on Thursday that he "embraced" those recommendations and intends to implement as many of them as he can immediately. A spokesman for the committee said Mitchell had accepted the Tuesday invitation and that Fehr had said he would cooperate if there was a hearing. But according to Major League Baseball, Selig had a conflict in his schedule, having already agreed to accept an award in Cleveland on Tuesday. Davis and Waxman oversee the committee that hosted the now infamous St. Patrick's Day hearing in 2005, in which players Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmiero, Curt Schilling, Jose Canseco and Frank Thomas were subpoenaed to appear, along with a number of MLB executives, including Selig.
The day-long hearing led to MLB and the union re-opening the sport's drug policy for the second time, primarily to stiffen the penalties for players using performance enhancing drugs.Congressional pressure was one of the primary motivations for Selig to commission Mitchell and his committee, charging them with investigating baseball's steroid era, the result of which was his 311-page report.

Nevermind , the total size of the game is 33.4 gb
Well if anything we should post each other's IGN when the game goes live. That way we can party or whatever. I would use archeage source but...Idk maybe I'm being judgmental but that forum is really....European. I get that feeling that I don't belong there...you know kind of like those moments when you walk into the wrong bar(white supremacist bar) or the wrong neighborhood? I just don't feel welcomed there.
Last edited by Grable; 02-20-2014 at 08:05 AM.
don't worry , maybe someone will release it free somewhere :P
Hmpf.. I was really looking forward to playing Archeage.. 2 years ago.
I hate, that we always get kind of already outdated games (looking at you BnS - if you'll ever reach us..)
I'll give it a go anyway (will post IGN when I'm ingame).
An english patch would be awefully nice, but 20€ is obnoxious.
About Seyas sig: Nice pics, but I can't believe, that this is allowed.
Anyway.. get Adblock Plus, right click the images and "block" --> done.

Pretty low of them to charge for a translation service. I've done plenty of translations for numerous games and not once have I asked for a fee.
Current Games:
No Man's Sky (PC)
Waiting for:
Chronicles of Elyria (PC)
There is a guy working on (google) translating the game here:
Why do you guys get so worked up over a translation that could even be a scam . Even if its not you have better chances to find free ones like the link above xD .
I just read on forums that early access on feb 16 was a little fail. One post with 1600+ pages of complaints. People had to wait in 3k-5k queues to get in. So you paid money for early access and you had to wait 1-2 hours to get in. If you get dc or game crashes you had to wait 1-2h again lol. All servers were overcrowded. Looks like this game is extremely popular in Russia. Let's just hope they add some extra servers for tomorrows obt launch.
I'm gonna loose myself in the character creator ... so many options .
No , I saw a video of the character creation .
Game is patched and ready xD
Is there any guide to character creation? How are we supposed to know which class we are picking
There are a lot of videos about character creation on youtube:
well somethings wrong with the launcher
Войти в игру не удалось

My first post here. Firstly, let me say thankyou, all of you, for the valuable information shared on this forum. Many of my questions have been answered without me having to post a thing.
I wonder if those in the know could help me with this, though:
Most contracts of employment in Asia seem to be a year's length minimum. Are there many job opportunities out there (in Asia) with a commitment of less than a year? And, if there are, are the seekers of those shorter contract jobs likely to face fiercer competition because of the contract's brevity?
Thankyou in advance for your help.

GIANT Photo Gallery: Stevenson stops Cloud
By Dave Spencer at ringside
Photos: Herby Whyne
WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis "Superman" Stevenson (22-1, 9 KOs) scored a one-sided seventh round TKO over former IBF titlist Tavoris Cloud (24-2, 19 KOs) on Saturday night at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Stevenson was in control from the beginning, outboxing and breaking down Cloud. The fight was stopped by Cloud's trainer Al Bonanni between rounds seven and eight due to cuts over both Cloud's eyes. It was the first time Cloud has been stopped.
"In four months I have beaten two great champions at this weight," said Stevenson, who previously campaigned at super middleweight. Next up for "Superman" will be a defense against mandatory challenger Tony Bellew, possibly as soon as November 30 in Quebec City.
In a walkout bout, middleweight KO artist David Lemieux moved to 30-2, 28 KOs after an eight round unanimous decision over 6'4 Marcus Upshaw (15-11-2, 7 KOs). Lemieux dropped Upshaw in round three bou had to settle for just the second decision victory in his career. Scores were 80-71 on all cards.
Former world light-heavyweight Jean Pascal returned to the ring after a 9 month absence and sharpened up versus George Blades (23-5-2) scoring 3 knockdowns and gaining a TKO victory at 2:54 of the 5th round. Pascal who faces fellow Montrealer Lucian Bute in January looked over anxious to start things out and seemed to be pressing with power and looking for a spectacular knockout. A big left hand hurt Blades in the second and Pascal who was a class above finally scored the decisive blow in the 5th with a debilitating right uppercut in the 5th. It was quick work from there for Pascal with two more knockdowns.
Undefeated light-heavyweight Elieder Alvarez (13-0 8KO) scored a 99-90, 97-92 and inexplicable 95-94 decision over fellow Colombian and former world title challenger Edison Miranda. Alcarez scored with a huge right to start the 8th that sent Miranda down in the corner, but the veteran fighter was able to survive the round despite eating a steady diet of leather for the 3 minute duration. Alvarez was control for much of the 10 round contest, effectively using his jab and being the quicker of the two fighters. Miranda had an effective 7th, landing with some nice lead left hooks, but the hometown squashed any hopes of a comeback with the dominating 8th.
Light heavyweight Eleider Alvarez (13-0, 8 KOs) scores a ten round unanimous decision over Edison Miranda (35-9, 30 KOs). Scores were 97-92, 99-90 and 95-94. Edison was on the deck in round eight.
Undefeated welterweight Kevin Bizier (21-0 14KO) scored a unanimous 60-53 (X3) decision over Giuseppe Lauri in a less than scintillating 6 rounder. The Italian Lauri who has lost 4 one-sided decisions in Montreal in 2013 and was penalized a point for holding in the final frame which pretty well summarized the action for the night. Lauri now has lost 6 in a row and 9 of his last ten and falls to 53-15 (31KO).
A habitually slow starter, welterweight Antonin Deccarie was forced into a gutsy 59-55, 58-56, 58-56 decision over a game and competitive Salim Labri (17-4-2 5KO) of France. Decarie was fighting his first six-rounder since 2007 following up his defeat earlier this year in Argentina versus Luis Abregu for WBC Silver belt. Things were made that much more difficult for the Montreal fighter as a badly cut left eye from a Labri right hand limited his vision over the course of the final two rounds. But Decarie was able to come over the top with some solid right hands over the the second half of the fight cementing the victory and moving him back into the win column and pushing his record to 28-2 (8KO).
While the City of Montreal has produced notable names in the light-heavyweight division such as Stevenson, Pascal, Bute and Alvarez, another new name is quickly emerging from the seemingly endless pipeline competing at 175 pounds. In just his second professional fight, two-time Olympian and former amateur champion Artur Beterbiev made short of Rayco Saunders (23-21-2 10KO) with a third round TKO victory. Saunders who has only ever been stopped once, in 2003, was down 3 times and could not continue due to a leg injury that eventually had the 39 year-old leaving the ring on a stretcher. Predictably, this one was all Beterbiev as the hammer fisted Russian looked to make a statement. Saunders was down in the second on what could arguably be called a slip, but the Russian tank kept rolling forward and scored with a crisp left in the third. A right hand had Saunders down and on shaky legs and seemingly saved by the bell to end the third, but Saunders was grasping at his right leg and didn't come close to making it back to his corner, giving Beterbiev (2-0 2KO) the stoppage win.

New Mexico State-UTEP Rivalry
The Aggie football team renews the program's second longest rivalry with the Miners of Texas-El Paso, Sept. 14, at Aggie Memorial Stadium. The game will mark the 91st meeting between the Miners and Aggies with UTEP leading the series, 53-35-2. This will be just the 11th meeting between the two rivals in the last 12 years after the two schools played every year from 1935 to 2000. The series took a break in 2001 and 2003.
Doug Martin and Sean Kuglar will square off for the first time as head coaches. Last season the Aggies fell to UTEP, 16-10 in Las Cruces.

Miscellaneous NM State versus UTEP Notes
· Historically speaking, the Aggies are better off playing in tight games against their I-10 Miner rivals. In the 90 previous meetings between NM State and UTEP, there have been two ties, 37 games decided by seven points or less and 51 games decided by more than eight points. In games decided by seven points or less, New Mexico State owns a 21-16 record against UTEP. In the 51 games decided by more than seven points, the Aggies are just 14-37. Here is a breakdown of the scoring margin in series history:
· NM State's record against UTEP in games decided by:
o Three points or less: 11-8
o From 1972-85, nine games between the Aggies and the Miners were decided by three points or less, including five straight from 1976-80. In that span between 1972 and 1985, New Mexico State won six of those nine games. The last game in the series that was decided by three points or less was in 2008, a 34-33 New Mexico State victory in El Paso, Texas.
o Four to seven points: 10-9
o Eight to 14 points: 5-10
o 15+ points: 9-27
o Saturday's game against UTEP will be New Mexico State's third game in the series played on Sept. 14. UTEP won both games, one in Las Cruces and one in El Paso.
NM State vs. UTEP Traveling Trophies
Over the course of the 90-year football rivalry between neighboring New Mexico State and the UTEP, two traveling trophies have been created to honor the series victor:
The Silver Spade
Since 1955, the winner of the New Mexico State vs. UTEP football game has taken home the Silver Spade, a replica prospector's shovel. The origin of the Silver Spade dates back to 1947, when an old prospector's shovel was unearthed in an abandoned mine in the Organ Mountains near Las Cruces. The whereabouts of the original spade is a mystery, but the current spade (on which are engraved the score of each year's Aggie-Miner game) has been traded between the two schools since 1955. The relevance of the spade may be due to the fact that at the time of its discovery, the tool was related to the major field of study at both universities—agriculture at New Mexico A&M, and mining and metallurgy at the College of Mines.
The Brass Spittoon
The newer of the two traveling trophies in the New Mexico State - UTEP series is the 17-year-old Brass Spittoon, formally titled the Mayor's Cup. The Brass Spittoon came into existence in 1982, when former Las Cruces Mayor David Steinborn and former El Paso Mayor Jonathan Rogers agreed to present an additional trophy to the winner of the storied Aggie-Miner football rivalry.
Last Season against UTEP
The New Mexico State football team lost the 90th meeting with its I-10 rival UTEP Miners, 41-28, at the Sun Bowl in El Paso.
The Aggies found themselves down early, played well during the middle portion of the game, but could never quite catch up to the Miners. NM State fell to 1-2 on the season while the Miners also sat at 1-2.
Aggie sophomore quarterback Andrew Manley finished the game 20-of-47 with 290 passing yards, three touchdowns and one interception. NM State had a couple of 100-yard receivers in the game, senior wide receiver Kemonte' Bateman finished with seven catches for a season-high 115 yards receiving and one touchdown while sophomore wide receiver Austin Franklin also finished with seven catches for 107 yards and two touchdowns. On the ground, NM State was led by junior running back Germi Morrison who ran the ball 12 times for 76 yards. Junior running back Tiger Powell had the only touchdown on the ground for the Aggies and finished with 49 yards on 12 carries.
Defensively, senior cornerback Jeremy Harris and junior strong safety George Callender each had nine tackles to lead the Aggies.
After receiving the opening kickoff, Manley threw an interception on his second throw of the game. UTEP senior strong safety Richard Spencer picked off Manley at the Aggie 47-yard line. The Aggies would not score their first points until their final possession of the half.
The Miners scored a touchdown on their first four possessions. UTEP had two rushing touchdowns from sophomore running back Josh Bell and two throwing touchdowns from senior quarterback Nick Lamaison. With 10 minutes left in the first half, the Miners had a 27-0 lead.
One of the bright spots for NM State in the half was a blocked extra-point attempt by Aggie senior Desmond Anaya.
NM State finally got on the board with 3:05 left in the half when Manley hit Franklin who was running a deep cross route. The 37-yard touchdown pass cut the Miner lead to 27-7.
UTEP proceeded to drive down the field, but botched a 25-yard field goal with 15 seconds left in the half.
Manley finished the half 8-of-17 with one interception, one touchdown and 116 yards passing. Franklin had four catches in the half for 71 yards and a touchdown. Powell led the Aggies on the ground in the first half with 11 total rushing yards.
NM State cut the Miner lead to 13 on its second possession of the second half. After a UTEP late hit penalty, Manley hit Bateman on a 47-yard pass play down the right side that put the ball on the Miner 1-yard line. Powell punched it in a couple of plays later to make the score 27-14 with 6:03 left in the third quarter. It was Powell's fourth rushing touchdown of the year. He has scored at least one touchdown in each of the Aggies' first three games.
It took the Miners only three plays, however, to answer the Aggie touchdown. The 58-second drive was punctuated with a 17-yard touchdown pass from Lamaison to junior tight end Craig Wenrick. The third quarter ended with the Miners on top 34-14.
NM State drove into Miner territory during its next two drives but could not convert on fourth down on both drives, once at the Miner 21-yard line and again at the Miner 39-yard line.
UTEP took advantage of the second missed conversion by the Aggies and capped off a 6-play, 61-yard drive with a 36 yard touchdown pass from Lamaison to senior wide receiver Michael Edwards which gave the Miners a 41-14 lead with under 10 minutes left in the game.
Aided by a 25-yard pass play from Manley to junior tight end Perris Scoggins, NM State once again drove deep into Miner territory and for the third straight series found itself with a fourth down conversion opportunity. This time, however, Manley hit Bateman in the right corner of the end zone for a 25-yard touchdown pass.
The Aggies added a late 11-yard touchdown pass from Manley to Franklin to make the final score 41-28.
Morrison Scores Twice
Running back Germi Morrison recorded his first career multi touchdown game against Minnesota with both runs measuring 1-yard a piece. In the game, Morrison rushed for 32 yards on 19 carries, while grabbing three passes for 21 yards.
On the season, Morrison has 57 yards on the ground and two scores. For his career, Morrison has rushed for 824 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 58.9 yards per game. He is just 176 yards away from becoming a member of the 1,000 yard rushing club.
King gets a Shot
Freshman quarterback King Davis III has saw limited action in the Aggies' first two games but at the end of the Minnesota game, he led the Aggies in a last minute scoring drive.
Davis III was 7-of-9 on the drive for 67 yards, including four rushing attempts for 29 yards.
He also saw action against then No. 15 Texas in the second half.
Bergstrom Grabs Career-High
Wide receiver Jordan Bergstrom was all over the field against Minnesota, recording a career-high in both receptions with eight and receiving yards with 60, including a long of 18. Against No. 15 Texas, Bergstrom grabbed three passes for 14 yards.
On the season, Bergstrom has 11 catches for 74 yards. He has also rushed the ball once in each game for nine yards.
Bowen Consistent after Two
Wide receiver Joshua Bowen has started off the season on a hot streak. Against No. 15 Texas, Bowen caught his first touchdown of his career, pulling in eight total passes for 83 yards. He followed that performance with six catches for 38 yards.
On the season, Bowen has 14 catches for 121 yards and the Aggies only receiving touchdown of the season.
Coming into the season, Bowen has played in just two games with no receptions. This year, he is averaging seven catches a game and 8.6 yards per catch.
Nixon Solid Day at the Office
Linebacker Trashaun Nixon came out on fire against Minnesota in the season home opener. He recorded a season-high 11 tackles, a tackle-for-a-loss and a forced fumble. This was the third time in his Aggie career he recorded double-digit tackles.
Nixon started all 12 games at linebacker for the Aggies for the 2012 season and was selected to the All-WAC second team for his efforts. He recorded 96 tackles, 9.5 tackles for a loss, three sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, one interception and four pass break-ups on the season. He recorded eight tackles per game, which ranked sixth in the WAC. Nixon also ranked fifth with 9.5 tackles for a loss on the season. Nixon set a career high in tackles with 15 in the first game of the season against Sacramento State (Aug. 30).
For his career, Nixon has 112 tackles, 11.5 tackles-for-a-loss and 2.5 sacks.
Cazares is back in Double-Digits
Safety Davis Cazares recorded 11 tackles against Minnesota this past weekend, marking the seventh time in his career that he has tallied double-digit tackles. Cazares has the most double-digit tackle games than any other player on the team.
In 2012, Cazares started 10 games for the Aggies at free safety and played in all 12 games. He led the WAC with 9.7 tackles per game and was ranked 27th nationally. For his efforts on the season, Cazares was selected to the All-WAC second team. He recorded 116 total tackles, three tackles for a loss, one forced fumble, one pass break-up and one blocked kick on the season.

Laudermill Right Place-Right Time
Defensive lineman Kevin Laudermill recorded his first career interception against Minnesota. It was the third interception for the Aggies this season. Laudermill returned the ball one-yard, while recording two tackles in the game.
The Aggies had just four interceptions in 12 games in 2012.
Last season, Laudermill played in 11 games for the Aggies on the defensive line for the 2012 season and started all 11. He recorded 35 tackles, two tackles for a loss, one sack and one pass break-up. He set a career high in tackles with six against Ohio.
Left-Footed Kickers
New Mexico State is just one of two schools in the country that have a left-footed kicker at both its starting punter (Cayle Chapman-Brown) and starting field goal kicker (Maxwell Johnson). Tennessee is the only other school to have this combination however Michael Palardy handled both positions for the Vols.
Wallace and the Streak
Offensive left tackle Davonte Wallace returns for his senior season, anchoring the Aggies' offensive line. He has started in 38 straight games for the Aggies on the offensive line. Against No. 15 Texas Wallace recorded four knockdowns.
In 2012, Wallace earned second team All-WAC honors for the second straight season. He became the first offensive lineman since the 2003 and 2004 season to earn back-to-back all-conference awards. He was a vital part of the Aggies pass protection that allowed wide receiver Austin Franklin to earn All-America honors.
Wallace also helped quarterback Andrew Manley throw for 2,764 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2012, as he ranked 47th in the nation in passing. The 2,764 passing yards by Manley is sixth all-time in a single season, while the 18 touchdown passes rank tied for seventh in a single season.
NM State Football Fans Encourage to join the 'Aggie Walk'
This season the New Mexico State football team, along with the Pride Marching Band, NM State Cheerleaders and Sundancers will begin a new tradition called the 'Aggie Walk'. This tradition will be in similar fashion to a short parade.
Before every home football game, the football team will walk starting at the Saratoga room (across the street from the Pan American Center) at 3:10 p.m. after finishing their pregame meal. They will be escorted across University Avenue to the North Pan American Center parking lot. From there, the team will meet the Pride Band, Sundancers and NM State Cheerleaders.
This group led by the Pride Band will start marching in the two south bound lanes of Arrowhead Street towards Aggie Memorial Stadium at 3:15 PM. At the intersection of Stewart and Arrowhead the group will turn right on to Stewart Street and head towards the football field house. The 'Aggie Walk' will end at approximately 3:30 PM outside the football field house. These times are set to coordinate with a 6:00 p.m. kickoff.
Aggie fans are encouraged to line the streets on Arrowhead and Stewart to show support for the team before the game.
Local New Mexicans Heavily Represented on 2013 Roster
The 2013 New Mexico State football team is well represented with players from the Land of Enchantment. The roster features 20 players in all from New Mexico, including six from Las Cruces and 10 from the surrounding Albuquerque area.
Local players expected to contribute to the squad this season include wide receivers Joshua Bowen and Adam Shapiro, running backs Brandon Betancourt and Xavier Hall, kicker Brock Baca, offensive lineman Abram Holland and defensive lineman Matt Ramondo.
NM State joins Sun Belt in Football Only Starting 2014
New Mexico State University and its athletics department announced in the spring of 2013 that an invitation has been extended and accepted to join the Sun Belt Conference as a football-only member. This move is pending NM State Board of Regents approval. NM State will begin competition in the Sun Belt in the fall of 2014.
There is no question that the Sun Belt Conference is a league on the rise in football. The conference finished with its most non-conference wins in league history in 2012 and also sent a record four teams to bowl games. The conference also finished the 2012 season with its best ever average computer ranking – finishing ahead of Conference USA and the Mountain West. The league also had two wins over top-25 ranked opponents and Louisiana-Lafayette and Arkansas State won their respective bowl games.
Having reached the 12-team mark, the Sun Belt Conference can now play a football championship game should it choose to do so. Both New Mexico State and Idaho will be immediately eligible to compete for the Sun Belt football championship and also for a spot in postseason bowl games.
NM State, which was most recently a member of the Sun Belt Conference from 2001-2005, will also renew several historic rivalries with former conference foes Arkansas State, Louisiana, and Louisiana-Monroe.
The Aggies began conference affiliation in athletics in 1932 when they joined the Border Conference. The Aggies left that league at the end of the 1961-62 academic year and became independent for the next nine years. NM State rejoined conference play in 1971 when the school joined the Missouri Valley Conference. The Aggies left the MVC at the end of the 1982-83 academic year and joined the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference, which became the Big West Conference in 1989.
The Aggies left the Big West at the end of the 1999-2000 academic year and joined the Sun Belt, where they were members from 2000 until the summer of 2005. Most recently, NM State was a member of the Western Athletic Conference starting in the 2005-06 academic year and will remain as members in all sports, except for football. The Aggies' women's athletic teams were also members of the Intermountain Conference of the AIAW from 1973 through 1982 and the High Country Athletic Conference from 1982 through 1990.
Best Home Schedule in School History
The NM State Football team will play an Independent football schedule in 2013, perhaps the greatest home schedule in school history. NM State will face four teams from BCS conferences in 2013, including two of them at home. The Aggies will be one of six schools in 2013 to play an Independent football schedule.
The home schedule includes several high points:
Seven homes game, tied for the most to ever be held in Aggie Memorial Stadium
NM State will host two schools from a BCS conference, the first time in program history
For the first time, a Big 10 opponent will play in Aggie Memorial Stadium (Minnesota)
For the first time, an ACC team will play in Aggie Memorial Stadium (Boston College)
Two Conference USA teams in rival UTEP and Houston-based Rice

Ume-Ezeoke played in all 12 games for the Aggies in 2012, starting at the center position. He recorded 44 knockdowns and allowed no sacks during the season. He was a vital part of the Aggies pass protection that allowed wide receiver Austin Franklin to earn All-America honors. Ume-Ezeoke also helped quarterback Andrew Manley throw for 2,764 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2012, as he ranked 47th in the nation in passing.

Ume-Ezeoke was named an Academic All-WAC selection and a 2012 Capital One Academic All-District VII first team member for his work in the classroom.
The Lineman Chart
The offensive line is a position in the game of football that has no stats or glory but could possibly be one of the most important positions on the field. Let's take a look at the grade sheet for the NM State offensive line in week two of the season:
Guard Andy Cunningham led the Aggies with nine knockdowns against Texas. The O-Line did not allow a sack against Minnesota.
House, Green, Rogers, Bateman and Harris Playing in the NFL
The Aggies currently have five players in the NFL. Defensive back Davon House who was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round of the 2011 NFL Draft, becoming the first Aggies to be drafted since 2003. In 2012, defensive back Jonte Green was selected in the sixth round by the Detroit Lions, while wide receiver/kick returner Taveon Rogers was signed as a free agent by the Cincinnati Bengals. Rogers has since moved to defensive back. In 2013, Jeremy Harris was selected in the seventh round of the draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars, while wide receiver Kemonte Bateman signed a free agent contract with the Denver Broncos.

After several months of silence, former Defense Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld once again offered advice on how to win the war in Iraq. He argued the United States is "sitting on the sidelines" in the global war of ideas. "We're barely competing," and that's why we are losing. Rumsfeld argued America needs a "21st century agency for global communication"to spread our message about the importance of democracy and freedom. Rumsfeld believes the decision to fold into the State Department the United States Information Administration was a mistake and took away an agency that could present the American viewpoint in a positive manner. He called for creation of an Internet Information aency which could employ modern technology in the fight to expand its message.
Perhaps, the new information agencies desired by Donald Rumsfeld can finally tell the world the real story about Saddam Hussein's Weapons of Mass Destruction and, in the process, help resurrect the reputation of the only man who stood up against the forces of truth without flinching. I see no reason why anyone today would fail to take advice from a man who was never right.
