Colin McRae Rally
I remember watching rolling footage of this game at the local department store, desperately wanting it. There have been several rally games I've loved since, like WRC: Rally Evolved, Richard Burns Rally, and V-Rally 2 (seriously, that course editor) but the original Colin McRae Rally was my gateway to PlayStation. It looks every bit 16 years old now, but at the time the fully-modelled interiors and weather effects were mind-blowing.
Portal 2
PlayStation 3
It took me a while to actually play the original Portal. I felt like an idiot afterwards for not making it a priority, because it's excellent. There's a big group of people that still prefer it to the sequel, which they're entirely within their rights to do. But I don't agree. I would concede that the puzzles in Portal 2 feel a little easier to figure out but, in my opinion, Portal 2 is wittier and ultimately more fascinating, and the co-op mode is absolutely inspired. I respect Half-Life 2 but stuff like Portal, and the excellent and experimental The Stanley Parable (also powered by the Source engine), is just way more interesting to me.
Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped
Pure 3D platforming never really got better than this, for me anyhow. I loved the Jak & Daxter series on PS2, but the simple yet zany nature of Crash 3 resonates with me to this day. I'm aware that I'm in a minority, placing the likes of Crash 3 on a pedestal instead of something like the acclaimed (and deservedly so) Super Mario 64 but in my family home during the late '90s, Crash was king. I guess now is as good a time as any to confirm that yes, I also prefer Crash Team Racing over Mario Kart. Fake Crash FTW.
Mass Effect
Xbox 360
I played Mass Effect because everybody else was playing Mass Effect. I generally don't enjoy RPGs but there was something about the way people were speaking about it that made me want to give it a chance. I'm very glad I did. As much as I enjoyed the second and third ones it's the first one that set the tone for me. The idea that decisions that I made in Mass Effect would have effects that would reverberate through the rest of the series seemed remarkable to me. The sci-fi backdrop BioWare created was rich, credible and overflowing with detail. Scarlett Shepard, my Scarlett Shepard, is one of my favourite game characters ever. Mass Effect is the game that defined her.
Skate 2
Xbox 360
I'll always have a soft spot for the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series. At least the first three, at any rate. But while I liked those games a lot, I loved Skate. Specifically Skate 2. I'm not a skateboarder, but the feel of the Skate series utterly won me over instantly. The more grounded trick system felt so much more credible, the low slung player camera put the focus on pure skating over silliness, and the design of the city encouraged you to explore and discover natural lines to skate. The ability to get off your board and set positional markers meant you could reach tricky locations and reattempt tricks at a spot of your choosing at will.
Dropping off the dam in Skate 2 never, ever gets old.
Hidden & Dangerous
When I make mental lists of the games I'd love to see remade, Hidden & Dangerous is usually in the number one spot. Hard as a coffin nail, Hidden & Dangerous gave players control of a WWII SAS squad charged with executing a variety of dangerous missions behind enemy lines. You'd select your soldiers, kit them out, and tackle the missions based on the intel you were given. Lose a soldier and he was gone for good. There was just so much depth. Disguises could be discovered. Enemy and civilian vehicles could be driven. The original Rainbow Six (which I also dug the hell out of) was released the previous year, but Hidden & Dangerous doesn't really get enough credit for being one of the true pioneers of tactical shooters.
Metal Gear Solid
More than anything else, Metal Gear Solid was unlike anything I'd ever played. The in-engine cutscenes made for an experience more seamless than anything prior. The patient, stealth-based gameplay was more rewarding than I ever could have expected. The atmosphere was incredible. Hell, Psycho Mantis moved my controller.
Metal Gear Solid is a masterpiece.
Rock Band 2
PlayStation 3
Before Rock Band, the most fun I'd ever had with four people using the same TV at once was multiplayer in the original Halo. Rock Band changed that. At the risk of plagiarising myself, Rock Band was a quantum collision of same-screen multiplayer gaming, listening to music, and playing music. It was a triforce of some of my favourite pastimes distilled into a single experience. I really enjoyed Guitar Hero, so Rock Band was the next logical step, but it wasn't especially easy being a Rock Band fan in Australia. I had to lug the original bundle back from the US from an overseas trip because I gave up waiting for it to come out, and Rock Band 2 was never actually released down under at all. It's a shame because, if I had to choose one, I'd say it was my favourite.
Syphon Filter
Some folk, even media-types who ought to know better, regard Syphon Filter as little more than an unashamed Metal Gear Solid rip-off. The comparisons, I feel, are largely unfair. Syphon Filter was released less than five months after Metal Gear Solid; the former would have already been coming together well before the latter was released. More importantly, however, Syphon Filter wasn't really a stealth game at heart; it was a fast-paced, action-packed, third-person shooter. MGS may have excelled in sneaking about in boxes, but Syphon Filter had you combat-rolling through intense, running gun battles and launching M-79 grenades at terrorists. Syphon Filter's globetrotting story kept the missions varied too; one moment you'd be fighting in the streets of Washington, D.C. and the next you'd be infiltrating a New York City museum, or an old Soviet-era missile silo in Kazakhstan.
Also, the taser. I set so many people on fire. So many. All the time.
Chuck Yeager's Air Combat
If I was to sit down and play a flight sim today, it would not be Chuck Yeager's Air Combat. It'd be Birds of Steel, which I adore wholeheartedly, or perhaps Battlestations: Pacific. Have you played that one? It's got ships too. Man. So good. Yeah. I'm great at parties.
But if I was to tell you what flight sim has meant more to me than any other, it would be Chuck Yeager's Air Combat. I can still hum the theme music to this game. The whole thing. Seriously, I'm great at parties.
CYAC, as I never called it, looked pretty terrible. The 2D cockpits were rad for the time, but the hills were pyramids and the pilots looked like origami whenever they bailed out. But I didn't care. Nobody did. It was the early '90s. You filled in the gaps with your imagination.
It featured combat missions from WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, but I mostly filled the time creating custom missions. One of my favourites was pitting an F-4 Phantom up against a squadron of twin-engine German fighter-bombers and just tearing them to pieces.
Did I mention that I'm great at parties?

Meet Chief False: Interpreter of Ancient Pictures and LanguagesPosted on October 25th, 2009 No comments
Oliver Chowder, additional counselor in the First Presidency, announced recently the appointment of Chief False: Interpreter of Ancient Pictures and Languages. "This is an exciting time for us," explained Chowder. "When Joseph Smith screwed up the original restoration, he also incorrectly translated everything he touched. Many of his incorrect translations are out-dated. With the appointment of Chief False, we can now have our own much more modern incorrect translations."
Chief False has extensive experience with the Latter Day Saint movement, having been excluded from the COJCOLDS temple weddings of his siblings, nephews and nieces. "The Mormons have excluded me from everything for years," said False, "but that's ok because it has given me lots of time and learn to interpret ancient pictures and languages just like Joseph Smith. Like Brother Joseph, I have a VERY creative imagination."
Chief False's position is a staff position, not an ecclesiastical one, and as Department Head of the Mis-Interpretation Department, he will supervise up to one person. He will report to Head Lackey and All-around Doofus, Cliff the Wino. False's interpretations will not be considered scripture, unless and until ratified as such by the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. False will have full telephathic access to the Plastic Cassette Audiotapes. False will also be responsible for maintaining the incontinence protection supplies (adult diapers) used by the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. In a previous incarnation, Chief False was sometimes known as javageek22.
Partial Transcript ReleasedPosted on April 11th, 2009 No comments
The General Authorities and staff members of the Moron Church of Latter-day Saints have been busy listening to many of the Plastic Cassette Audio Tapes (see story here) that have been recently delivered to Church Headquarters, that production of actual transcripts of the tapes has been rather slow going. Here is a partial transcript of a tape. It provides insights (but no definitive proof or answers) as to how the Prophet Joseph screwed up the restoration so badly. Please note: although all tapes are labeled and appear to be dated, the labels and dates do not correspond to any known numbering or calendaring system, those numbers and dates are provided here to verify their authenticity.
Tape Number: Tickle Me, Emma, Tickle Me Right There
Date of Recording: Blood, Sausage, Virgins and Liquor
MORON: It is time. We must plan the restoration.
JOSEPH: Oh, hi, Angel Dude. My seer stone told me you were coming.
MORON: It talks now?
JOSEPH: Sometimes. Sure, talks, lights up, plays music, I can even send messages on it to others who have seer stones.
MORON: I'm sure that will come in handy, now, the Big Guy Upstairs sent me to talk about planning the restoration.
JOSEPH: I'm ready, what's first?
MORON: Maybe you should get a pen and paper, you know, take some notes. It's kinda complicated.
JOSEPH: Not to worry, I have a photographic memory.
MORON: I am worried, photography hasn't been invented yet. Get a pencil.
JOSEPH: Look, Angel, how could I possibly screw this up with both you and the Big Guy Upstairs directing me.
MORON: You'll find a way.
JOSEPH: I don't need to take notes.
MORON: Fine, how's the translation coming?
JOSEPH: Translation?
MORON: Yeah, how far have you progressed?
JOSEPH: Remind me again about this translation.
MORON: The gold plates. I gave you gold plates to translate, remember.
JOSEPH: Vaguely.
MORON: It's only been two weeks. How could you have forgotten?
JOSEPH: No, no, I haven't forgotten, they're around here somewhere.
MORON: Well, let's take a look at them, we can work on the translation together.
JOSEPH: I'm not sure where they are right at the moment.
MORON: Well you better find them.
[background noises, people moving around, moving furniture, etc.]
JOSEPH: Here they are. Is this them?
MORON: That's the Bible. It's already been translated.
JOSEPH: Oh, I meant this.
MORON: That's "View of the Hebrews" by Ethan Smith.
JOSEPH: Oh, yeah, well, those plates are around here somewhere, don't you worry.
MORON: We're supposed to be planning the restoration of the Gospel. Those plates are a big part of that.
JOSEPH: Yeah, I know that. I've got them, they're here somewhere.
EMMA: Joseph, time for dinner.
JOSEPH: Hey, look, Angel, can you come back in a few days or something, I've got to go to dinner.
MORON: [Expletive redacted]
EMMA: Joseph, NOW!
JOSEPH: Really, I gotta go, but I'll get right on that translation thing, first chance I get.
Corrections Received for "The Spirit of God"Posted on April 11th, 2009 No comments
The Plastic Cassette Audiotapes are continuing to produce fascinating new information about the continuing restoration of the restoration originally screwed up by Joseph Smith. Recently information about the classic hymn "The Spirit of God" written by early Latter Day Saint, W.W. Phelps was gleaned by listening to a meeting of Joseph Smith, W.W. Phelps, and the Angel Moron One.
The first stanza as usually sung (below) contains a few errors.
The Spirit of God like a fire is burning;
The latter day glory begins to come forth;
The visions and blessings of old are returning;
The angels are coming to visit the earth.
The first line should make reference not to God's spirit burning, but to his "shirt" being on fire. Apparently God was smoking in bed and caught his shirt on fire.
The second line attempted to explain that Smith organized the church on the wrong day, instead of April 6th, he should have formed it on the fourth as explained in the following correct transcription of the second line:
The latter day glory begins on April fourth.
The corrected third and fourth lines of the first stanza give some indication as to why the errors occurred in the first place.
The old blurry vision is returning
The beer and ale is making us burp.
Here is the chorus as usually sung:
We'll sing and we'll shout with the armies of heaven:
Hosanna, hosanna to God and the Lamb!
Let glory to them in the highest be given,
Henceforth and forever: amen and amen!
but here is the corrected version.
We'll drink some stout with the armies, by heaven!
Oh shit, oh shit, the bartender wants to be paid.
Get Gloria to give him her [censored]
Third, fourth and forever, Oh man! Oh man!
The rest of the verses are equally appalling, and the song will be removed from the hymnal at the next printing. Patrons may wish remove this hymn from existing hymnals.
116 Missing Tapes!Posted on April 10th, 2009 No comments
Shocking Development – History Repeats Itself!
The Plastic Cassette Audiotapes have been revealing and restoring incredible amounts of information in the short time since they were delivered to Church Headquarters by the angel Moron I. Stunning news was discovered just recently that 116 of the Large Tapes of Moron I have been lost.
"When listening to some of the Small Tapes of Moron I we were very surprised to learn that the first 116 recordings made of the Large Tapes of Moron I have been lost," said a stunned President Dieter F. Achtung of the First Presidency at a hastily called news conference. "As soon as we discovered this, President Monsoon immediately began a series of magic incantations including hopping on one foot to summon the angel Moron I back to explain how this could have happened," continued Achtung. "Unfortunately that didn't work, but Henry [Eyeball, First Counselor in the First Presidency] had Moron I's cell phone number and called him up and left a voice mail message. We are waiting for him to call back."
Achtung explained that the First Presidency takes it as a sign from the Big Guy Upstairs that the number of tapes missing (116) is the same number as the number of pages that went missing when Joseph initially screwed up the original restoration.
UPDATE: Moron I has called President Eyeball back, but Eyeball was talking to certain female cyclops known to be considering joining the church, so Eyeball let the angel's call go to voice mail. The voice mail message seems to say that nothing of any significance was lost in the original 116 tapes, but the message is difficult to understand because Moron I seemed to be riding a motorcycle while eating tortilla chips and talking all at the same time.
SECOND UPDATE: Moron I left another voice mail message for Eyeball about the missing 116 tapes, this time he was difficult to understand because he may have been drunk, but it sounded like he said a curelom ate the missing tapes.
More information will be provided when available.
New Priesthood ForthcomingPosted on April 10th, 2009 No comments
Blessings from the Recently Received Plastic Cassette Audiotapes
"Faith-affirming!" "Testimony building." "A true blessing from heaven." These are just a few comments from Moron Church of Latter-day Saints General Authorities, church employees and a few people we don't know, who have been eagerly listening to tapes delivered recently by the Angel Moron I containing interviews and conversations from the 19th Century. (See details here.) So far, many of the Moronic teachings of the Latter Day Saint movement have been confirmed, but new teachings previously unknown in Moronic or Latter Day Saint circles have been uncovered as well.
"Apparently Joseph Smith had a number of conversations about how to proceed with the restoration late at night with the angel Moron I while Joe was stinking drunk," said Oliver Chowder of the First Presidency. "And after he had slept it off, he couldn't remember clearly what they had talked about the night before."
The first major teaching that will be restored as a result of the Plastic Cassette Audiotape recordings will be an entire additional priesthood will be announced at the next General Conference. "We'll be very excited to announce the Salad Priesthood," said Elder James E. Talcum of the Twelve. "So far we don't know too much about it, other than it is what is known as a 'complementary priesthood' that can be served with either the Aaronic or Melchizedek Priesthoods. We do know that is related to the Word of Wisdom, and that the three offices within the Salad Priesthood are "Crisp Lettuce," "Chilled Snow Pea," and "Sliced Tomato." Talcum went on to explain that we aren't sure which heavenly messengers appeared to Joseph Smith to restore the Salad Priesthood, "but from the accents we're guessing that one of them was a talking cucumber."

Temple Ordinances To Be RestoredPosted on April 10th, 2009 2 comments
Continued Restorations Resulting from the Plastic Cassette Audiotapes
Exciting restorations continue to be found in the Plastic Cassette Audiotapes (see story here) recently delivered to the Church HQ. Two temple ordinances that should have been restored to the earth during the time of Joseph Smith will be added during the next major revision of temple services scheduled for later this year. "The ordinances of the 'back rub' and the 'foot massage' were never properly restored," said Henry Eyeball of the First Presidency. "When the angel Moron I was giving instructions to Joseph Smith about these ordinances, the Prophet can be heard snoring, so he apparently just missed these two ordinances."
"Both the back rub and the foot massage will be performed in conjunction with temple wedding and sealing ceremonies," said Eyeball. "In each case it is the husband who gives the back rub or foot massage to the wife while reciting a specific prayer." Eyeball said that due to the sacred nature of the prayer, the words are not being made public at this time, but he did indicate that couples would be permitted to perform these ordinances in the privacy of their own homes at their own discretion.
Eyeball offered a few more tidbits about the new ordinances, "While the back rub ordinance is only for the living, the foot massage ordinance can be performed vicariously for the dead. This is because there is a lot of walking in the Celestial Kingdom," he said. "God hasn't put in public transit yet, so people get a lot of sore feet in heaven."

Audio Recordings DeliveredPosted on April 10th, 2009 1 comment
Restoration of Restoration Continues Through Audio Recordings
Because the Moron Church of Latter-day Saints is a restoration of the restoration screwed up by Joseph Smith (founder of the Latter Day Saint movement widely known for telling lies), the Angel Moron I has recently delivered to Moron Church Headquarters several crates of Plastic Cassette Audiotapes of conversations and interviews involving various leaders in the Latter Day Saint movement. "I haven't counted the tapes, but a good many of them involve Joseph Smith," said the angel. When asked why the tapes were being delivered now, Moron explained further, "Well, Joe screwed up so many things, and Brigham, well, just don't get me started on that fool. Anyhow, since the time for the restoration of the restoration has come, the Big Guy Upstairs thought it would be useful for the Moron Church of Latter-day Saints, the One True Church, to use the information on the tapes to restore the restoration."
The angel also explained that after church employees had made verbatim transcripts of the Plastic Cassette Audiotapes (without making audio copies of them) they were to be returned to him so they could be placed with the Golden Plates in the Hill Cummorah. "I didn't really have a good reason for putting the Golden Plates back in the side of the hill, but I want to be consistent about these things, so I'm taking these back also," said Moron I.
When questioned about how audiotape recordings could have been made in the 19th century, Moron I explained, "This Latter Day Saint movement is all about anachronisms. Anachronisms don't bother us because we know the kind of power the Big Guy Upstairs has. If it's His will, it will be done." The angel then went on to say that because there may be some few doubters that the tapes are legitimate, he has provided the photographic evidence above, as well as the "Testimony of the Three Witnesses" below. (He's hoping to round up eight more equally reliable witnesses to produce a second witness statement in the near future.)
Testimony of the Three Witnesses
Be it known unto all folks everywhere: That we, with special permission from an angel we have seen the Plastic Cassette Audiotapes which contain interviews, conversations and other neat stuff involving Joseph Smith, Emma Smith, Brigham Young, the Angel Moron I, and others. And we also know that they have been recorded by the gift and power of the Big Guy Upstairs, for his voice hath declared it unto us; wherefore we know of a surety that the work is true. And we also testify that we have heard a portion of the recordings with our spiritual ears by the power of the Big Guy Upstairs, and not of man. And we declare with words of soberness (despite the fact that we've all been drinking heavily this evening), that an angel came down from heaven, and he brought and laid before our eyes, that we beheld and saw the Plastic Cassette Audiotapes; and we know that it is by the grace of the Big Guy Upstairs through the mediation of an angel that we beheld and bear record that these things are true. And it is marvelous in our eyes. Nevertheless, the voice of the Joseph Smith himself commanded us that we should bear record of it; wherefore, to be obedient unto the commandments, we bear testimony of these things. And we know that if we are faithful in doing this thing, we shall get more liquor from the angel, and be found drunk in an alley in the morning. And the honor be to Joseph Smith, and to the Angel, and to Adam from the Garden of Eden, which is one God. Amen.

Regarding whether to choose the SAT or ACT, there is no penalty for guessing wrong answers on the ACT, but on the SAT, incorrect guessing is penalized. Some SAT questions can be trickier while some ACT questions may be longer. The ACT has more questions geared to higher levels of mathematics, suggesting that students who do well in math may perform better, but that the SAT may be a better choice for students with a strong vocabulary.
Most colleges accept either the SAT or ACT, and have formulas for converting test scores into admissions criteria. One benefit of the ACT test is that it allows you to select specific colleges to which to send scores. Students should practice taking the test under simulated testing conditions, and wear a large watch with a sweeping second hand. On average, over half of those retaking the SAT or ACT tests saw improvements in their scores. Beyond degree requirements such as Polk Community College SAT Test, you may consider University of Texas Tyler practice test for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

April 2017 - Norwegian Jade to Caribbean - Western
The Jade is a beautiful ship that you can tell has been recently refurbished. We experienced nothing that was out of order during the cruise. Overall the food, entertainment and crew were good with very little to complain about. Believe it or not the star of our trip was our cabin steward Denish. He was funny and friendly and did an outstanding job of taking care of the cabin. However, the Cruise Director and his staff were a little under whelming. They were adequate but nobody stands out to me which is not good. Cozumel and Honduras were fabulous. Costa Maya was fine. Harvest Caye was a huge disappointment (see below). Tampa is a great port to sail from.

July 14 verdict fulfilled September 14
Sep 14, 2012
Today is September 14. Because the old revelation says, "July is like September," today is like July 14. That was the day we delivered the verdict to the four elements of the Babylonian system in the four locations in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Yesterday, when Fed chief Ben Bernanke announced "QE3 to infinity" (as Jim Sinclair put it), it looked to me as if this was the September counterpart to our verdict back in July. However, it was a day early, so I waited until the end of today (September 14) to see if something further would emerge. What I found was that Bernanke's QE3 buying spree was to begin today!
Today the Federal Reserve announced that QE3 will begin on Friday, but it is going to be much different from QE1 and QE2. Both of those rounds of quantitative easing were of limited duration. This time, the quantitative easing is going to be open-ended
Furthermore, the Fed's money creation is not limited to just $40 billion per month. Bernanke said,
To support a stronger economic recovery and to help ensure that inflation, over time, is at the rate most consistent with its dual mandate, the Committee agreed today to increase policy accommodation by purchasing ADDITIONAL agency mortgage-backed securities at a pace of $40 billion per month.
He went on to explain that from now until the first of the year, this would mean a total spending spree of $85 billion per month!
These actions, which together will increase the Committee's holdings of longer-term securities by about $85 billion each month through the end of the year, should put downward pressure on longer-term interest rates, support mortgage markets, and help to make broader financial conditions more accommodative.
Bernanke is admitting that QE2 never ended, even though most investors talked as if it had. In fact, it has continued to the tune of $45 billion per month, and now--at least for the next few months--it will be increased to $85 billion per month.
QE1 was the first huge bailout shortly after President took office. It had some effect on the economy and brought the unemployment rate down to just over 8% (according to the GMF, "government manipulated figures"). QE2 had hardly any effect at all, as the unemployment rate remained the same in spite of the $45 billion stimulus per month.
So now Bernanke is increasing this by another $40 billion. This is really QE2 on steroids, but it is being called QE3. I doubt that QE2 will actually end on January 1st, but Bernanke said nothing about it beyond the first of the year. In my view, QE2 and QE3 will both continue until the Babylonian system simply collapses and is replaced by a new monetary system.
"QE3 to infinity" is not true, only because Babylon will not last into infinity. It will simply continue until it collapses.
The verdict was rendered on July 14. We are now seeing it manifest in the world on September 14 as expected. Bernanke's announcement was an admission that the system is beyond repair, and the dollar is collapsing, so he and his committee have decided to print huge quantities of money until the collapse happens.
The above article continues:
Perhaps the biggest danger from QE3 is that it could greatly hasten the day when the U.S. dollar ceases to be the reserve currency of the world.
The rest of the world is not stupid. They see that the Federal Reserve is now firing up the printing presses whenever they feel like it. They can see the games that we are playing with our currency.
Why should the rest of the world continue to use the U.S. dollar to trade with one another when the United States is constantly debasing it and playing games with its value?
As I wrote about the other day, China and Russia have been calling for a new reserve currency for the world for several years. They have been leading the charge to conduct international trade in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and I have documented many of the major international agreements to move away from the U.S. dollar that have been made in the last couple of years.
The status of the U.S. dollar in the world has already been steadily slipping, and now Helicopter Ben Bernanke pulls this kind of nonsense.
We are handing the rest of the world an excuse to abandon the U.S. dollar on a silver platter.
History is being made. Let us understand what we are seeing. This is not just another recession, nor even a depression. This is the end of the world as we know it. Not the end of the earth, but the end of the world SYSTEM, described by the prophets as a series of "beasts" that were to run their course (Daniel 7). Scripture is clear that when these beast systems have finished their rampage over the people of the earth, God will cut a "stone" out of the mountain that will fall on the feet of this system, grind it to powder, and then grow to fill the whole earth.
This is the Kingdom of God. It does not matter what the Illuminati plan for us after this collapse. Their plans will fail, due to unintended consequences and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Many organizations and religions believe that they will come out on top, but everyone needs to stand aside while God implements His plan for the earth. He will make known who the anointed ones are, those called to "reign on the earth" (Revelation 5:10).
So do not be angry or discouraged over Bernanke's QE3 policies. It appears that God has called him to destroy his own system so that no one else has to get his hands dirty. In the end, Babylon's tombstone will read, "Death by Suicide."

US Transportation Secretary, Ray LaHood, announced (28-Apr-2010) the implementation of a new rule on 29-Apr-2010, meaning "air travellers must no longer be subjected to lengthy tarmac delays on domestic flights and will enjoy additional consumer protections". Details include:
- Details of new rule - domestic services: US airlines operating domestic flights may not permit an aircraft to remain on the tarmac at large and medium-hub airports for more than three hours without deplaning passengers, with exceptions allowed only for safety or security reasons or if air traffic control advises the pilot in command that returning to the terminal would disrupt airport operations;
- Details of new rule - international services: US carriers operating international flights departing from or arriving in the US must specify, in advance, their own time limits for deplaning passengers, with the same exceptions applicable. Carriers are required to provide adequate food and potable drinking water for passengers within two hours of the aircraft being delayed on the tarmac and to maintain operable lavatories and, if necessary, provide medical attention;
- Effect on cancellations: Secretary LaHood stated the new rule should not lead to large increases in the number of cancelled flights, commenting, "everyone knows the rules going in – the passengers and the airlines. We expect carriers to take steps to avoid tarmac delays and cancellations by adjusting their schedules and providing timely information to passengers";
- Reason behind the ruling: The rule limiting tarmac delays was adopted in response to a series of incidents in which passengers were stranded on the ground aboard aircraft for lengthy periods;
- Other aspects of the new ruling: The rule also:
- Prohibits the larger US airlines from scheduling chronically delayed flights, subjecting those that do to DoT action for unfair and deceptive practices;
- Requires US airlines to designate an airline employee to monitor the effects of flight delays and cancellations, respond in a timely and substantive fashion to consumer complaints and provide information to consumers on where to file complaints;
- Requires US airlines to adopt customer service plans and audit their own compliance with their plans;
- Prohibits US airlines from retroactively applying material changes to their contracts of carriage that could have a negative impact on consumers who already have purchased tickets;
- Beginning in late Jul-2010, airlines will be required to display on their website, flight delay information for each domestic flight they operate.
- Other consumer protection areas: The Department plans to issue a notice of proposed rule-making within the next several months to further strengthen protections for air travellers. Among the areas under consideration are further requirements pertaining to tarmac delays and requirements relating to disclosure of baggage and other fees, and full-fare advertising. [more]
Allegheny County Airport Authority Executive Director, Brad Penrod, stated new regulations on tarmac delays may cause further flight delays at Pittsburgh International Airport, due to an anticipated increase in flight diversions to Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh Tribune Review, 28-Apr-2010). The airport handled 200 diverted flights in 2009 to an authority gate, while the number of diversions to a gate leased by one of the airport's 13 airlines were not tracked. The number of diversions from East Coast airports that frequently suffer weather-related delays is expected to increase with the new ruling, pushing back Pittsburgh airport's scheduled services.
Palm Beach International Airport Director, Bruce Pelly, stated it may be difficult to comply with the new tarmac delay legislation as the airport, along with Fort Lauderdale Airport, frequently receives aircraft diverted from Miami, often international services (South Florida Sun-Sentinel, 28-Apr-2010). This may cause further delays as in-bound international passengers must be cleared by US Customs and Board Control.
US Senator, Amy Klobuchar, welcomed the new tarmac delay legislation, stating it is a "victory" for airline passengers, who can "no longer be held captive for hours on end" (Associated Press, 28-Apr-2010).
US Department of Transportation (DoT) denied requests for exemption from the new tarmac delay regulation at New York JFK Airport, susceptible to delay by the construction of a new runway (Ainonline, 28-Apr-2010).

Top 5 toy commercials of the 90s
Christmas TV is fabulous. Even commercials up their game in a bid to create something that really stands out and will be talked about. When I think back to Christmas as a kid, I can remember sitting in front of the TV and getting extremely excited over the copious amounts of adverts for toys that filled the cartoon breaks. And as a kid in the 90s, there were some pretty cool ads out there. I've thoroughly enjoyed re-living my youth through a series of 30 second toy commercials, and here are my top 5:
Stretch Armstrong 1993
When I was a kid, I constantly flipped between having fun playing with my toys, and having fun trying to ruin them. All of my Barbies ended up with a short, spikey hairdo. I think that's why I loved playing with Stretch Armstrong so much, as the toy's USP was that you could try your best to pull him apart but he would never break!
This advert begins looking like a scene out of a children's TV programme, which starts to tell the story behind this unknown superhero. Suddenly the hero appears in your house to continue the action. It flicks back to the TV programme (which is actually quite funny), providing kids with just enough to spark their imagination.
Talkboy Tape Recorder 1996
This toy advert comes off the back of one of the most popular Christmas films ever: Home Alone! My Christmas wish for years was to wake up on Christmas morning with an empty house just waiting for me to set up traps for potential intruders.
Anyway, this advert is for a toy that Kevin used in the film. In the advert there's a blonde little boy, we'll call him Kelvin, using his Talkboy Tape Recorder to play pranks on his big sister. After watching, you can't help but start thinking about all the funny things you could do, if only you had a secret recording device…
Gak 1992
I don't recall Gak, so had no sentimental attachment to this advert. It's made my top five purely because it made me smile. As well as the usual watching-kids-play-with-the-toy-scenes, we get to see an adult's reaction to the toy. Said adult is the textbook snooty teacher type, and it's the expressions she pulls and her disgraced retorts that are what make this ad worth watching.
Pretty Pretty Princess 1992
I only appreciate how funny this advert is all these years on. Wendy's monologue about how she became a princess is cute. But it's the disclaimers that appear on screen while she's talking that make the advert funny. At four years old, you don't understand their comedic value while you're imagining yourself as a Pretty Pretty Princess just like Wendy. So it's nice to be able to look back on an advert with new-found appreciation.
Transformers Beast Wars 1996
Growing up with two brothers and a dad who acts like a big kid meant that I was a bit of a tomboy. So this Beast Wars advert was right up my street. The advert is like a depiction of what's likely to be going on in children's minds while they're playing with the toys – including an internal narrative. By getting inside the heads of the children they're targeting, they've created an advert that not only captures children's imagination but showcases it too.

BLINK is a series of micro-posts that will focus on individual artists. Honing in on select work or works, each post will be a fleeting snapshot of art activity from around the world, one that hopefully inspires and prompts deeper investigations.
Dora Budor, New Lavoro (2013), Courtesy of Dora Budor
Born in communist Yugoslavia, then moving to the independent state of Croatia, Dora Budor is now residing in the United States. The different political situations that she experienced throughout her life have had a strong influence on her work. After initiating Architectural Studies at the University of Zagreb she continued a Masters degree of Arts in Design influencing her later artistic production. Before taking a turn towards the art scene she worked as a designer. Here she became familiar with and developed her skills in branding and advertisement.
After meeting Maja Cule in design school they both took the decision to move to New York where they worked on different design projects. Together they grew an interest towards fine art, developing into several collaborations. Dora and Maja's shared views resulted in art works that juxtaposed images of parallel realities, creating a sense of discomfort in the viewer. They were not interested in the materiality of the object; instead they recorded the process of construction to later destroy the art piece.
New Lavoro – What Everybody Says Must Be True / Episode 1 from Dora Budor on Vimeo.
This year, after the duo decided to follow their own solo careers, Dora Budor presented her latest work at the 55th Venice Biennale. There she created New Lavoro, parodying the concept of T.V. reality shows. The participants, all artists, are asked to present their creative skills throughout seven different contests. Four episodes of the show were on view at the biennale in Palazzo Peckham. Apart from the screenings she also invited a series of artists to represent some of their work within the installation of the New Lavoro cafe.

About Me
About me… Hmmmm. Where to begin. I'm random. Spontaneous. Slightly out of control at times. But above all, passionate. When I find something I truly love, there's no stopping my pursuit, and I am passionate about photography.
Born and raised in Murray, Utah, to a family of 3 kids. I am the baby, unless you count my two gorgeous nieces and stud of a nephew as additions to the family. I am a graduate of Murray High school, and have a Bachelors of Science in Finance from the University of Utah.
In addition to photography, I am also very passionate about music, and enjoy plucking around on my acoustic guitar. I enjoy playing with my nieces, adventuring outdoors with my friends, going to art galleries and the symphony, or just staying at home, cooking a nice dinner, and watching a good movie. Long, loud, belly-deep laughs tickle my fancy.
My Style – The Difference
I haven't been shooting weddings for the longest nor have I shot the largest quantity of them, but my personal experience makes the difference between myself and others.
Having spent time in photojournalism with a couple of newspapers, I see things differently than the majority of photographers in the wedding and portrait market. Progressive in approach, and traditional in feel, my style connects my clients to their photographs deeper than any fad or trend of the day can. Timeless, not trendy. That is not only my basic approach, but a core belief. My clients love their photographs today, but equally important they will also in 30 years, and won't have those reminiscent *head scratching* "What were we thinking?!" moments. The events are special and meaningful, and should be captured and displayed in the realest and truest sense possible. Without lying, without enhancing, without detracting. Real. And raw.
Life, love, and the pursuit.

Topical - The Life of the Church Preserved through Proper Doctrine(2)
The Life of the Church Preserved through Proper Doctrine
June 2, 2002 Topical – Pastoral Epistles
2. References to Doctrinal Tradition:
Doctrinal Tradition ---
How important is tradition to you?
If your family is like ours, there are some ready traditions we can point to, especially around the holidays – like Christmas cookies, the decorations on the tree, and the mistletoe, or perhaps caroling. We elevate the Thanksgiving turkey to a tradition too. And more in tune with the current season we have traditions like fireworks on the 4th of July and placing flowers on the graves on Memorial Day along with revering the flag.
These traditions are established so that we might remember and not forget.
Some things are worth remembering because honor is due and our present heritage owes much.
If we were to forget we might have to pay the price all over again.
Even more so in the Christian tradition we stake our lives on established truth – like the Apostle's Creed we just read.
We owe our eternal salvation to Jesus but it is secure only as long as we believe the truth about it. It is our faith that saves us (Eph. 2:8-9) and that faith must be rightly established to be effective.
I often get tears in my eyes when I read doctrinal truth because it is so firm, sure and solid in a world of lies, trickery, and deceit. In short, I can know I am saved because of what I believe.
So we are talking about doctrinal tradition – truth you can hang your hat on, stake your life on, live forever on.
The early church quickly developed a body of doctrinal tradition because the assault on truth began immediately. We know this from the many references to those who opposed the truth and tried to bring heresy into the early church.
In our present day this assault on truth is forever increasing and not decreasing. The liberal church presently debates whether Jesus is the Son of God, or born of a virgin, or actually died, or whether faith in him is absolutely necessary for salvation. And they call themselves Christians. Men substitute their own philosophy for God's absolute truth. They become blinded by Satan and his work in the culture. They have forgotten those that have gone before them to the martyr's stake. They have forgotten those like themselves that have gone ahead into Hell. Woe to those who fail to remember!
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
Illus.: "The Layman," April, 2002, about confessing church movement action voted illegal. Also letter to the editor questioning missions purpose without belief in something like the confessing church statement.
There was a time in my own life when I leaned toward the liberal agenda only because it was what I was taught. The seeds were planted in the Presbyterian Church some time ago and are now bearing their rotten fruit in the present debate within the Presbyterian Church. When I started to ask my own questions instead of ignorantly accepting what was handed to me, I had to agree that truth was absolute. Truth by definition cannot be just what anyone wants it to be.
There is a place for tradition founded upon truth that must not be compromised in order that we might remember that truth and not stray from it.
We establish and maintain our own church traditions like special services on Thanksgiving, Easter, Christmas, New Year's for remembering the source, need, and application of Christian truth.
This morning we will remember a tradition that Jesus laid down for us when we take communion. The wine and the bread stand for some things we must never forget lest we be not saved at all. His body was killed and his blood was spilt as a holy sacrifice for our sin that we might have life in his Name.
Are there some traditions that are wrong? Absolutely. Jesus spoke of them too in Mk. 7:1-23. Jesus came to change tradition that was wrongly based.
Paul admitted his tradition needed to change when he met Jesus (Gal. 1:14-16).
The difference is whether our tradition is from human or divine origin (Col. 2:8).
So we must not stray from what began with Christ. And there is a line back to the apostles which we must follow (1Joh. 1:1-3). Human tradition believes it has discovered something new and better. But demons just recycle the same lies to deceive them.
This human tradition crept into the church in earliest times. We see its progression in the Catholic Church stated in the Creed of the Council of Trent of 1564 that elevated human tradition to the status of the Word of God. The problem comes when we allow men in the church to have the same divine authority as the apostles whom they followed. Their interpretations then are said to carry the same weight as Scripture. But they themselves failed to hold to the traditions they were given. They have added and subtracted and come under the condemnation of Rev. 22:18-19.
Later on in the Vatican II Council of 1965 they sought to further justify the supposed link between tradition and Scripture. They condemn themselves. They believe their tradition was handed down to them but they fail to see they made it up as they went along. And this happened because they gave Christ's authority to fallible men.
Illus.: Karin Malmin's experience at her brother's funeral. The pastor seemed to imply his own power to forgive sins (Ev. Luth. Ch.)
So we come again to the necessary subject of doctrine in the Pastoral Epistles in light of the times.
We have talked about the importance of proper doctrine in the last message about the life of the church: that it exalts the gospel, exposes lies, remains diligent and watchful, that it is accountable in community, that it must effect our behavior, expose falsehood, that it applies truth in context, and that proper doctrine must anticipate rejection.
But now we can take it even deeper with the 5 references to a phrase (pisto" o logo" – faithful the saying) that is used in the New Testament only in the Pastoral Epistles.
This phrase seems to refer to a doctrinal tradition that Paul puts forward as being worthy of "full acceptance" (kai pash" apodoch" axio" – and full acceptance worthy). This latter part of the phrase is attached to two of the five occurrences.
Doctrinal tradition is important for the life of the church as something assuredly unchanging and trustworthy to hold on to in changing and perilous times.
a. Doctrinal Tradition Acknowledges Sin –
1Tim. 1:15
The human sin condition is the reason and necessity for ministry. It is the reason Christ came into the world to minister to us and it is the reason we minister to others in his Name. But it is imperative that the preacher of righteousness do so with a proper acknowledgment of his own dire need for transforming truth before he preaches to others.
Illus.: "Sunday's Comin'" by M. Craig Barnes in Leadership, Spr. 02, p. 67.
b. Doctrinal Tradition Establishes Leadership –
1Tim. 3:1
This saying establishes the necessity of godly leadership – it is a noble task. "Therefore, suffice it to say that the saying exalts the office of ruler and emphasizes its value. --- The fact that in the early church there has developed a saying about the episkoph (office of elder or overseer or place of service) indicates how very basic and important this office was considered to be for the life and well-being of the church." (Dr. George W. Knight III, The Faithful Sayings in the Pastoral Letters, p. 61) This saying sets apart the office of elder as a high calling – a work not to be undertaken lightly, to which Paul subsequently outlines requirements.
c. Doctrinal Tradition Exalts Hope –
1Tim. 4:9-10
In the context of false teaching inspired by demonic opposition (4:1) Paul gives another faithful saying to give hope in the midst of spiritual battle. It is that our hope is in the living God who is active in our behalf, and that there is hope even for those deceived by demonic influence since Christ is potentially the Savior of all men, but affirmed beyond any doubt as the Savior of those who actually believe. It is the assurance of salvation by the preacher of truth that enables him to continue in faith for himself and others.
d. Doctrinal Tradition Promotes Faithful Perseverance – 2Tim. 2:11-13
Timothy is to persevere in ministry, keeping his eye on the objective and the reward. This saying is to be an exhortation to himself, to those he enlists to help him, and to the elect in general (2:14). We are reminded of the claim of the gospel upon our lives and the glory to follow, and we are warned to continue in faith, which we are enabled to do since God remains faithful to us. Whenever and wherever we might lack faith, God is an infinite supply.
e. Doctrinal Tradition Reiterates the Gospel –
Titus 3:4-8
After an extended explanation of proper behavior demanded by sound doctrine (2:1), Paul reiterates the gospel as the distillation of it all in this longer faithful saying. It is the antidote for all human wickedness. It begins with the love of God toward man in the coming of Christ. It is founded upon his mercy and not on our merit. It is through the agency of the Holy Spirit that has come through Christ so that we are made right with God and might become heirs of God having the hope of eternal life. Through this grace we are enabled to do right.
These things point out the importance of doctrinal tradition in the life of the church. The importance of such doctrinal tradition has been maintained by the faithful even to the present day and will be until the rule of Jesus Christ is firmly established upon the earth for all to see firsthand.
Illus.: Eighteen Affirmations from The Gospel of Jesus Christ: An Evangelical Celebration from the document An Urgent Appeal (for National Revival) from the National Prayer Committee, May 2, 2002, p. 45.

Evolution Bug
Evolution Bug
Nothing is simple in biology. Monica Young and Paul Hebert of the Biodiversity Institute of Ontario, Canada, have found within the amino acid sequences of eight legged critters, known as arachnids, an evolution bug.
In one of the largest invertebrate amino acid sequences studies to date, Young and Hebert, found highly variable patterns of amino acid sequences in the hemeprotein known as cytochrome C between species. None of Charles Darwin's continuous "successive, slight" evolutionary changes in more than 4,000 species of arachnids studied were found. The paper, published in the highly respected journal PLoS ONE, August, 2015, demonstrates the persistent bug in the theory of evolution – no common ancestor. Continue Reading

Travel back to the time of Henry Hudson's voyage into New York Harbor and follow the story of the city as it grew into the nation's economic and cultural capital on the shores of the Western Hemisphere's busiest harbor. Learn about more than 200 key objects and images from this period, including a ceremonial club from the Native people of the area; a slice of a wooden pipe that formed the original water system of the city; and William M. "Boss" Tweed's gold tiger-headed cane. Alongside these striking, one-of-a-kind artifacts, experience innovative interactive installations where you'll "meet" New Yorkers of the past – from Henry Hudson and Alexander Hamilton to Chinatown pioneer Wong Chin Foo and anarchist Emma Goldman.

There are 581 residents in the 2372 postcode with lost superannuation funds totalling $1,777,075. Given the high proportion there's a good chance you're among them.
Deputy Prime Minister and Member for New England Barnaby Joyce is encouraging residents to check if they have lost or unclaimed superannuation, with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) announcing its latest figures.
As at 30 June this year, there were more than 6.3 million lost and ATO-held super accounts worth almost $18 billion. Mr Joyce's New England electorate accounts for more than 12,000 unclaimed and lost accounts worth $49 million.
"It can be easy for people to lose contact with their superannuation," Mr Joyce said.
"They might start a new job and take on a new super account or move addresses and not update their details. But this superannuation is important to help people secure their long-term financial futures.
"I encourage everyone to log onto the ATO website to check if they have any unclaimed super."
The shoutout comes on the back of a package of superannuation reforms introduced by Revenue and Financial Services minister Kelly O'Dwyer, promising to deliver a strong, modern superannuation system. This includes legislation to extend choice of fund to workers under enterprise bargaining agreements or workplace determinations.
"Our changes will ensure more than one million workers have the right to choose their own superannuation fund if they are currently prevented from doing so because of enterprise bargaining agreements or workplace determinations," Ms O'Dwyer said.
"This will help to reduce the number of multiple accounts which inevitably lead to unclaimed and lost superannuation."
These days the process to find lost super starts by setting up an online myGov account and linking to the ATO, where all super accounts attached to you will be listed. From there, lost super can be rolled over into a super account of your choice.
Go to www.ato.gov.au/checkyoursuper for more information.

Highly unprofessional doctor and staff
A patient who verified they visited Dr. Catalina F Dinu - Posted on February 19th, 2017
Staff is extremely rude and incompetent. Dr was extremely rude as well and defensive. Complained to NJ Medical Board and insurance about her unprofessionalism and poor conduct. She seems to lack basic ethics and values when it comes to the medical field. She didn't seem too knowledgeable about the questions I asked her. She wasn't polite and seemed like she just wanted to rush through the appointment. Go to another doctor who knows what he/she is doing! Save yourself the hassle.

Good Doctor, but AVOID the Office!
A review by a patient that verified they have visited Dr. Catalina F Dinu - Posted on August 22nd, 2016
Doctor is nice enough but her staff is terrible. If you call in, expect a 20+ minute wait for a simple question. Also, expect that your bills will all be submitted to your insurance incorrectly and they will show that you owe money for things that either didn't happen or should have been covered. The woman who does billing is extremely rude and will refuse to work with you, and the receptionists are next to useless.
Never again!! Horrible experience !
A review by a patient that verified they have visited Dr. Catalina F Dinu - Posted on April 25th, 2016
Horrible! They only accept cash and they gave me such a hard time. I waited over an hour, the staff didn't seem to know what they were doing. They gave me a hard time about my insurance , they ended up being wrong. They finally called my daughter in to see her , which was her first time seeing a gynecologist. My daughter was very upset after the appointment. She was have a few complications and was very nervous because it was her first time. She said the doctor spent 4 minutes with her and didn't even explain what they were doing to her. She felt very violated and not well taken care of. I will not be returning with my daughter to this doctor . So upset about my visit. Never again.
Doctor doesn't respect her patients
A review by a patient that verified they have visited Dr. Catalina F Dinu - Posted on November 7th, 2015
Some of the secretaries have attitudes. I was kept waiting for more than 40 minutes inside the doctors office with no information about where the doctor is so I went out to ask the secretary how long it would be and that I had another appointment I had to be at, she said give the doctor a minute. 20 minutes later still no sign when there was absolutely no one in the waiting room to be seen either. So I went out and asked again how long it would be and the secretary literally gave me a death stare at which time the doctor showed up. I guess the secretary complained to her because the doctor herself gave me an attitude. She informed me that I could leave if I wanted, I told her after waiting around an hour for her and her finally getting there, I would like to get her consultation. She said if waiting would be a problem for me she could give me numbers to other doctors. I said no thank you I already have numbers for other doctors and that it would be courteous to at least INFORM the patient how long it would take and that the doctor would be with you in a minute. No apologies, no nothing. She talked over me, saw me quickly and then let me out. this is not the first time she has done this either. First time I had an appointment with her, I was her first appointment. She was late. I was kept waiting in the room with a gown on for 40 minutes. Again, no apology from her. I guess this doctor needs to learn to respect her patients. I will be informing other friends who go to her about my experience. I feel that, being a patient, I deserve respect which is far out of Catalina's range. Also, when I went to the pharmacy, to which she had supposedly called my Rx's into, she had missed one completely. I had 2 prescriptions. I had to call her secretary and inform her to please make the call again for the prescription and she said she would call me back. It's been 3 hours, and no call back. I will be posting this review elsewhere too to keep patients informed about what kind of a doctor they are going to.

A review by a patient that verified they have visited Dr. Catalina F Dinu - Posted on May 28th, 2015
She chose to do labs that she never told me about and I got a $300 bill for "exploratory" services. Office never followed up on results of the labs despite numerous phone calls. Very unprofessional and seems money hungry.

One Star
A review by a patient that verified they have visited Dr. Catalina F Dinu - Posted on October 9th, 2010
Dr. Dinu is the worst, most unprofessional doctor I have ever had to deal with. She diagnosed me with cervical cancer last year. I wont bother going into a long rant about her horrible bedside manner or lies she told me about my diagnosis, I'll stick to the worst bits. After doing a cone biopsy I was in a lot of pain. I asked for an earlier appointment, which was unavailable. When I went in for my check up they wanted to do a vaginal ultrasound, and when I said that didn't sound right they checked and saw that I was put in for the wrong appointment. Dr. Dinu could not be bothered to see me and had them reschedule me for the next available appointment... 2 weeks later. I was in a lot of pain and fed up with her crappy attitude so I made an appointment with another DR. Thank goodness because I had a massive infection. 6 months later at my next follow up I am told that Dr. Dinu did not remove all the cancer. For 6 months the cancer sat there and grew. Not so much as a phone call to let me know I wasn't cancer free. I'm scheduled for a hysterectomy later this month, I'm just glad it's not worse. I could be dead.
