One day in the fields of Cynnabar, the poor serf sly me looked up from feeding his mouflon to stare at the castle on the hill. The fair princess was guarded by a cruel family, but his passion ran deep. He thrust down his large shepherd's hook and ran through the kohlrabe to the castle. His heaving chest ripped his shirt asunder. He wrenched open the door. The electric fan blew back his blown dry hair. He caught a glimpse of himself in the full length mirror, wiped sweat from his furrowed brow, and then suddenly....

Which Family Tree Maker version to use?
I see that Family Tree Maker Version 2010 is now listed at the Ancestry.com Store:
We have seen the information at the store, but I might suggest that you click on this link, also found there for some screen shots.
See an overview of all the features in Family Tree Maker 2010You might want to take a look at these screen shots
Family Tree Maker Screenshots
For the People Work Space, Family View:
Family View
This isn't much different in this screen, BUT, the Navigation has been updated from here. However, I think there is a new feature that is not on that screen. It's an Enhanced nodes option. From my notes, the Enhance View will allow more information on the Family View screen. This screen shot just shows names, but with the Enhanced View, you will be able to have an Image of each person in the view AND birth and death dates.
Media View
Looks familiar, however, this is really where the use of Categories. In the image provided, you can see any Media, in your file, that are not linked to an individual or Source.
Places View
From my notes, in the Left Hand Panel, with the Place Name above and list of people who had an event there, is a field, not on the screen shot, for the GPS coordinates. As I remember, with the GPS information the Push Pin can be moved.
In the People, Person View, Timeline Tab, we have had the capability to view an Individuals Time Line. Currently, we can add Historical Events and Family Events. With 2009, we did not have the capability to Print the Time Line. From my notes again, we have the capability to Print the Publich, Person Report, Time Line.
Web Search
In the Demonstration that I saw, the capability to take information of another website, like a book, hi-light information AND pictures from that online book and merge it into the Family File. The details of this feature went by very quickly, but the information, picture include, that was online was brought into the file on the computer. Don't know about you, but I could have used that many times in the past, and look forward to exploring this feature in the future.

DWTS Season 4, Weeks 1 and 2 -The Cheesecake Awards (Retrospective??)
So, is it a retrospective when it's a re-airing years later ?? I'm going with yes 🙂 As I mentioned in an earlier post, we can't promise that we will do these every week, and we can't promise they will be as long as the regular Cheesecake Awards…but we can promise that we will try to be our obnoxious selves. 🙂 On with the show…
The Bad Acid Trip Award: The old "kaleidescope" opening credits
Courtney: Soooooo glad they got rid of that cheesy nightmare – damn near gave me a grand mal seizure.
Heidi: I think I may have actually had a seizure every time it was on because I'm lacking in recall.
The "Trying Too Hard" Award: Brian Fortuna
Courtney: Admittedly, I actually missed a good deal of this season when it was originally airing, since I was still in college, working, and too broke for TiVo 😛 But what really struck me is that Brian (who I had all but forgotten about until that opening pro number in week 1) was just…too much. The dude seemed like he was trying waaaayyyy too hard to make an impact and carve out a niche for himself on the show. The face pulling, the exaggerated dance moves, the overgelled hair, the jewelry – just…no, dude. He was like young Derek and Mark lite – but not as talented. And quite possibly the best part of watching these old episodes years later? You already know that he ain't going to be around for very long – kinda makes me wish I had a tin can phone system that could reach the past and tell him "Dude, you may as well dial it back about 5 notches…you're not gonna be around much longer, anyway. Don't strain yourself." 😛
Heidi: The thing that got me is what still gets me with Mark sometimes. The SMILE. Jesus dude. Almost constant, fake looking, very big smile. Mark has that same glazed look from time to time where he would habitually have a smile on his face but it doesn't seem to reach his eyes or he's not really feeling it. It's like perma-face or something. Hard to explain. Brian does kinda look like Derek's younger, squirrely, annoying brother. The less attractive brother. But everyone knows that to be a Hough you have to have blond hair and blue eyes. 🙂 Freakishly strong genes in that family.
Courtney: Brian could be the weird cousin of the Hough family. Kinda like cousin Oliver from The Brady Bunch…never did quite understand his purpose. Read more..

Welcome to the Real Salt Lake Youth Soccer Update. This regular release will include information on matches, tournaments, events and achievements involving RSL's youth initiatives.
RSL-AZ U-16's REMAIN UNBEATEN IN DEVELOPMENTAL ACADEMY SEASON
The Real Salt Lake-Arizona Academy U-16's kept its unbeaten record intact in its last time out, tying the L.A. Galaxy U-16's 2-2 at the Grande Sports Academy on Nov. 17 to move to 6-0-3 on the U.S. Soccer Developmental Academy season.
The U-16's got off to a hot start against the Galaxy, getting a pair of early goals to take a 2-0 lead into halftime. Unfortunately, the team couldn't hold onto its advantage, giving up a goal early in the second half before conceding a free kick equalizer in the closing minutes.
The RSL-AZ U-16's still lead the West Conference's Southwest Division, sitting four points ahead of second-place Chivas USA.
RSL-AZ U-18's LOSE FOR FIRST TIME IN DEVELOPMENTAL ACADEMY SEASON
The RSL-AZ U-18 squad lost its first match of the Developmental Academy season on Nov. 17, falling 3-2 to the Galaxy U-18's at Grande Sports World.
It was a back-and-forth match, with both teams scoring early in the second half before RSL-AZ was shown a controversial red card in the 65th minute. The Galaxy capitalized on its man advantage, taking the lead on 10-man RSL-AZ shortly after the sending off. The Claret-and-Cobalt battled back to nab an equalizer, but it was all for naught, as LA scored deep into second-half stoppage time to hand RSL-AZ its first loss of the season.
The Nov. 17 loss dropped the RSL-AZ U-18's to 6-1-2 on the season, putting the team in second-place in the West Conference's Southwest Division, two points behind the first-place Galaxy.
The Real Salt Lake-Arizona U-18's and U-16's will head to Lakewood Ranch, Fla. this weekend for the annual USSDA Winter Showcase. All 80 Developmental Academy clubs will play a total of 240 non-conference matches at the Winter Showcase, which begins on Nov. 30 and runs until Dec. 4.
The RSL-AZ U-18's and U-16's will both play three matches while in Florida. The U-18's will play Montreal Impact FC on Nov. 30, Crew Soccer Academy Wolves on Dec. 1 and Sporting Kansas City on Dec. 3. The U-16's will face off against the same squads, playing each corresponding match one day later than the U-18's.
In addition to the three non-conference games on the schedule, six RSL-AZ players – Benji Lopez, Jordan Allen and Tony Murillo from the U-18's and Sebastian Saucedo, Justen Glad and Brooks Lennon from the U-16's – will play in a Showcase Select match in Lakewood Ranch.
Lopez, Allen and Murillo will play in the '95 Select match while Saucedo, Glad and Lennon will play in the '97 Select match.
The Showcase Select matches put the top Developmental Academy players from each age group on the same field, at the same time. The matches will both be played on Dec. 1.
RSL-AZ U-18 players Benji Lopez, Jordan Allen and Tony Murillo all recently completed a U.S. U-18 National Team training camp from Nov. 17-24 at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.
The U.S. U-18's played two friendly matches against the Canada U-18's during the camp, winning the first match 3-1 on Nov. 21 and tying the second 2-2 on Nov. 23.
Allen and Lopez played in the first match, with Allen starting and playing 82 minutes and Lopez coming on as a sub in the 82nd. Lopez was the only RSL-AZ player to feature in the second match, coming on as a sub in the 70th minute and contributing on the U.S.'s late equalizer.
The U.S Soccer Development Academy is a nationwide youth development initiative, organized by the U.S. Soccer Federation, featuring 80 of the top youth teams in the country competing in a league system at both the U-18 and U-16 levels. The 80 youth programs are divided into 7 geographically based divisions, each of which will send a single qualifier to the national finals after the regular season concludes in late June.

Since we've been learning about pets in our class, we decided to set up a pet shop in our dramatic play center and a veterinarian's office in our science center.
Some of us like to play pretend on a smaller scale.
We have also had a lot of fun with our movement activities, moving like various pets---we even played a partner game in which each partner set was an animal trainer and animal! Seeing these kids doing pet tricks was definitely one of the highlights of my week!
We love the Hap Palmer song, "Sammy", Greg and Steve's "Animal Action" and The Learning Station's "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window?"!
(Sorry, a link to The Leaning Station's "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window?" was not available on YouTube. I highly recommend checking it out--it includes a variety of pets!)
Thanks for visiting! Leave a little "comment love"~I'd love for you to share your thoughts!

Located in England's famously picturesque Lake District, Levens Hall boasts the world's oldest topiary garden still surviving in its original design. Dating back to 1694, the topiaries reflect the late-17th-century taste for clipping trees and shrubs into abstract masses or geometric forms. Huge yew and beech hedges create garden rooms (state rooms, really), and parterres are punctuated with towering top-hatted shapes seeming to totter on a single trunk. The garden also includes an orchard, a nuttery for growing beechnuts and walnuts, and a bowling green.
Drummond Castle and grounds were established in Perthshire, Scotland, in 1490. The tower house remains largely intact, but the gardens have been substantially changed over the centuries. Today there is some back-and-forth over the authenticity of the grounds (restored or re-created?), but most agree that they represent a grand 17th-century Scottish garden. The parterre, with its low clipped embroidery hedges, is in the shape of a large St. Andrew's cross—geometric topiary forms being all the rage in the latter part of the 1600s. The regimentation of the layout is leavened with the addition of leaning topiary trees that lend an impish, Harry Potter–ish charm. These tipsy towers accentuate the long views from the garden, across verdant fields to distant hillsides.
After you have eaten all the foie gras and truffles you can during your visit to the Périgord region of France, consider a postprandial visit to Marqueyssac. The original garden was created in the 19th century and enhanced when a new owner, Julien de Cerval, acquired the property and made it his life's work. In 1861, De Cerval began laying out a dreamy topiary garden on a hill high above the Dordogne River. He spent the next 30 years overseeing 150,000 boxwoods groomed to mimic the surrounding hills of the Dordogne Valley or, when viewed from above, the backs of grazing sheep. This might be the most relaxing garden in France. Even the garden's website evokes twilight thoughts of peaceful slumber: Gaze at the count-the-sheep topiaries, or just listen to crickets and snipping shears.
The house at Cliveden, originally built by the second duke of Buckingham in 1666 as a retreat for entertaining friends and his mistress, was rebuilt twice after fires in 1795 and 1849. Overlooking the Thames in Taplow, Buckinghamshire, the palatial house and its extensive gardens were reimagined again in 1893 as an Italianate masterpiece by William Waldorf Astor, the first Viscount Astor. An avid fan of the Renaissance, Viscount Astor purchased the grand balustrade from the Villa Borghese in Rome and moved it to Cliveden to enhance his garden viewing. He also added the Long Garden—planted with topiary corkscrews, pyramids, and peacocks, which were once again popular during that period in garden design. Stately parterres bedded with blocks of color also feature mature yew topiaries resembling Fisher-Price stackable toys. In 1942, Cliveden was given to the National Trust and substantially replanted and restored. The most recent update is a one-third-acre maze of 1,100 clipped yews. Don't worry about wandering endlessly inside the towering labyrinth: A Maze Keeper is on duty to make sure visitors eventually find their way out.
When you find yourself caught in the seemingly endless tedium of Interstate 95 around Baltimore, take an off-ramp to the wonderful topiary gardens created by Harvey S. Ladew. A bon vivant born during New York's Gilded Age and a famous cutup, Ladew (1887–1976) purchased a Maryland farm, later developed 22 acres of it for a garden, and then decided to do all the landscaping and garden planning himself. A sporting gent, Ladew often rode to the hounds during visits to England, which inspired his not-to-be-missed topiary hunting scenes complete with fox and hounds bounding across lawns and horses and riders clearing fences in pursuit. In another garden area, Ladew's huge oval swimming pool is surrounded by wavelike topiary hedges topped with green swimming swans. Ladew was able to infuse his rooted-to-the-earth sculptures with a sense of motion that is unique in this arena of garden design.
Located 30 miles from Philadelphia, Longwood Gardens was deemed by Geoffrey Jellicoe, founding president of the International Federation of Landscape Architects, to be "one of the truly outstanding American estates." Established and organized largely by Pierre du Pont in the early 20th century, the property originally belonged to founder of the Province of Pennsylvania William Penn. Penn sold it to a fellow Quaker named George Peirce who shared his curiosity and reverence for plants and the natural world. The Peirce family established an arboretum there and when the land came up for sale in 1906, Du Pont purchased it largely to save the trees. After traveling the world and visiting many famous gardens, Du Pont settled down at Longwood to begin building his own extensive gardens. Influenced by European topiary art, he established a garden of yews clipped into geometric forms and the shapes of animals and even a table and chair. Today the garden contains more than 50 topiary trees.
Green Animals is a garden that the children will especially love. Following the European Renaissance tradition of creating furry shapes in clipped trees and shrubs, Green Animals features a menagerie of adorable creatures. Located in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, on a hill overlooking Narragansett Bay, this topiary masterpiece features teddy bears, an elephant, an ostrich, a unicorn, and more than 75 additional forms of green fauna. The property was originally the summer home of Thomas Brayton, treasurer of the Union Cotton Manufacturing Company, and his family; it was the head gardener who began clipping and experimenting with topiary forms in the first decades of the 20th century. Brayton's daughter Alice eventually took over the property in 1940 and renamed it Green Animals. By 1947, the garden had achieved such renown that a young Jacqueline Bouvier had her debutante party there, and today it is owned by the Preservation Society of Newport County. If you are so inclined, your little ones can attend the annual Green Animals children's party—along with a thousand other people.
This eccentric garden was begun in 1941 in Santa Barbara, California, by Ganna Walska (1887–1984), a much-married Polish opera singer whose motto was: "I'm an enemy of the average." Some areas of the gardens have blue slag glass recycled from the Los Angeles–based Arrowhead Spring Water factory lining the pathways, but despite these flights of fancy, the plant collection at Lotusland—numbering more than 3,000 specimens—is quite serious. Walska began her topiary collection in 1958, but 40 years later it was in such decline that the remaining frames were removed. In 2001, the topiaries were replaced and today 26 new animals create a green topiary circus. This is a public garden in a private residential area and visits are arranged by appointment.
Pearl Fryar's garden in Bishopville, South Carolina, is an ongoing work of contemporary horticultural art. Fryar began creating his topiaries in the 1980s as he rescued trees and shrubs that local nurseries had thrown away. He planted these sickly orphans on his suburban property and, in the process of nursing them back to health, started shaping them into abstract forms. The plants prospered under his care and, unlike other topiary gardens with clipped forms appearing almost exclusively in yew, box, or privet, Fryar's topiaries are shaped from more than 50 different trees and shrubs. Today Fryar welcomes visitors to his whimsical garden, and he now lectures nationwide on topiary. His garden, containing more than 300 plants, has received international acclaim and preservation plans are in place with the Garden Conservancy and the Friends of Pearl Fryar Topiary Garden.

After a delayed start, the Mavericks Invitational surfing contest began under sunny skies Sunday.
The first of four heats was set to begin at 8 a.m. Sunday, but was delayed a bit as officials waited on Mother Nature to bring in the waves.
Two dozen of the world's best surfers rode the monster waves of the infamous Mavericks surf spot near Pillar Point Harbor in Half Moon Bay.
By the end of the day veteran Santa Cruz surfer Peter Mei was declared the winner. Mei is a well-known Northern California surfer with two decade's experience surfing who helped launch the tow-in surfing movement locally, according to competition organizers. He also had a win in August in Pico Alto, Peru on the second stop of the annual Big Wave World Tour.
The top six winners are:
- 1st Peter Mel
- 2nd Zach Wormhoudt
- 3rd Greg Long
- 4th Alex Martins
- 5th Mark Healey
- 6th Shawn Dollar
The waves were described as powerful, but "lully" with lots of long breaks in between.
Three of the big wave surfers did not compete. Kelly Slater did not give a reason for withdrawing. Shane Dorian can't compete because of a shoulder injury. Carlos Burle also can't compete due to a shoulder injury. They were replaced by back ups.
Organizers downgraded the size of waves they were expecting in the hours leading up to the contest. They said they would be in the 15 foot range instead of the 30 foot range as predicted earlier in the week.
National Weather Service forecaster Bob Benjamin said that the waves were cresting between 7 and 10 feet at locations along the coast, with the highest waves at Mavericks reaching just over 15 feet.
Thousands of people turned out to watch the contest on big screens set up at a nearby festival. In 2010, some 40,000 people showed up. Organizers said this year's crowd was at about 30,000. The decrease in number was due in part to the 49ers NFC Championship game which aired nationally at noon.
"The festival filled up and the competition appears to be going well," Rebecca Rosenblatt said midday. "Everyone is being really cooperative and having a good time."
This year spectators were not be allowed on coastal bluffs or beaches overlooking the break. In the past rocks have fallen an injured people sitting on the cliff. Waves have also knocked spectators to the ground causing serious injury to those watching from on the shoreline.
The sheriff's office reported no arrests and said no one trespassed on the fragile bluffs above the break that were closed to the public this year for safety reasons.
The U.S. Coast Guard reported no incidents on the water associated with the contest.
While the professional surfers yearn for the huge waves, they are a danger to the rest of us.
The National Weather Service has issued high surf advisories for much of the coast through Monday night.
The Coast Guard and National Park Service are warning swimmers and boaters to be on the lookout for rip tides and sneaker waves that could reach heights of 20 feet.

Velvia - 2 stop Singh-Ray soft edge ND Grad to balance sky with water.
Piper Lehman April 25, 2002Absolutely gorgeous, Mark. Not only a terrific sky, but a dynamic silhoette and reflections to boot! Nice, nice, nice! #5086
Adam Bolt April 25, 2002Agreed, this is a cut above your average Sunset/Sunrise. Awesome work Mark.
Mark English April 25, 2002Adam,
Thanks for your kind words, also thanks to Piper #7292
Debbie Groff May 10, 2002I dream of taking a picture as beautiful as this someday. I mean I wake up thinking about and go to sleep thinking about it. So beautiful. That moon really makes the serene mood come to life! #7813
Mark English May 10, 2002Paul & Debbie:
Carlos E. Rentas May 13, 2002Mark,
First...Congratulations! Definitely a step way above your normal sunrise/sunset pictures.
Second...in your description you mention '2 stop Singh-Ray soft edge ND Grad to balance sky with water'...what does it all translate to? What's ND Grad? Stopped up or down?
Thanks, Carlos
Piper Lehman May 13, 2002Carlos, I think Mark was saying that he used a 2-stop ND (neutral density) grad (graduated) filter for this. (Singh-Ray is just the brand name, by the way.) A two stop graduated ND will bring the two exposure extremes of your scene to a closer medium, hence a correct exposure all around. Had he not used the filter, he would have to choose between a great sky and a silhouetted lake or a beautiful body of water with a burnt-out sky. You notice the mountains are silhouetted. These were just too dark for even the 2-stop medium. He was also using Velvia (a slide film with an ISO of 25 or some such number), which has a narrower exposure lattitude than print film anyway. Short story is that if you have two exposure extremes in your scene, your camera cannot reach that far both ways, so the ND grad helps the camera see the two extremes as merely two exposures within its reach. Hope this helps.
P.S. Sorry to answer your question to Mark, but the link popped up in my e-mail, and I thought I'd give it a whirl. #7958
Mark English May 13, 2002Carlos,
Piper Lehman May 13, 2002Well, I guess you can tell I don't use Velvia very often...
Why do you think Fuji hasn't just changed the ISO of Velvia to 40 since so many photogs set it at 40, Mark? I notice this coming up a lot. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone who uses it at ISO 50.
I'm a print film user at the moment. Can't quite convince myself to make the switch to slide film, though I know the change is inevitable if I ever want to sell my work. How do you get over that shock of having to either project your work or view it with a loupe and a light table? I guess I like the convenience of thumbing through 3x5 prints before scanning. Something about being able to hold your work in your hands and seeing it without the aid of magnification.
I would appreciate any nudging you can give me, plus any pros you can think of for using slides. #7966
Mark English May 14, 2002>>Why do you think Fuji hasn't just changed the ISO of Velvia to 40 since so many photogs set it at 40, Mark? I notice this coming up a lot. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone who uses it at ISO 50<<
Can't say for sure... but film ISO ratings are based on carefully designed and executed laboratory tests based on standards set out by the ANSI/ISO. Trouble is we don't take pictures under laboratory conditions. We take pictures under real world conditions and of real world subjects. Back in Kodachrome's heyday, most if not all shot K64 at EI80... because the 'chromes looked better that way.
The label is never gospel, only a guideline.
If you're serious about your photography, and I know you are... then you really owe it to yourself to switch to slide film. It has less to do with selling your work than learning to deal with exposure and colour temperature issues. Print film will mask some pretty serious errors in both these areas. Photography is atleast equal parts Art and Craft. Both of these are essential to becoming the best you can be. Art with out the discipline of craft is just so many fuzzy ideas poorly presented.
Using slide film provides far more
immediate feedback to help you master this aspect of your craft.
As to "holding your work in your hands"... how ablut holding the actual piece of film you exposed, in your hands?;-) #7969
Cheryl Meisel May 16, 2002Very pretty Congrats! Cheryl #8029
Damian P. Gadal July 30, 2002Very nice, the sliver of moon really makes this shot! #10355
Carolyn J. Connolly October 01, 2004Very pretty shot, Mark - just wonderful colours! :~) #815818
C A July 31, 2007Congratulations on your second place. I just found your photo. Like the colours. Velvia likes colours :-) But I would have preffered a little bit more water at the bottom. The filter did a good job, so did you. Best wishes from holland, Corné #4583097
Mark English July 31, 2007Corne,
That's all the water taht was there... it was taken from a river bank, and to include mmore foreground woud have meant including river bank. Getting lower and closer would have changes th perspective, ie. the relation ship between foreground and background elements. As Susan Sontag wrote, "The painter constructs, the photographer discloses". In other words we can only work with what's in front of us.
Thanks. #4583456

The GT-A1 is a vehicle in Grand Theft Auto 2 that can't be found at any of the districts of Anywhere City in a non-multiplayer game. It can be seen, since the Wang Cars are GT-A1s with numbers on the top, but can't be driven (entering in one of them teleports you to the Wang Cars site).
It is possible to drive the GT-A1 with the debug keys cheat. To do this, find a GT-A1 and press 0 on the number pad repeatedly a moment before you enter the vehicle. If done correctly, you exit the vehicle after you enter it. Then you can reenter the vehicle and drive it. It can be crushed when driven, giving you a Machine Gun.
- The name, GT-A1, is a play on words, meaning GTA 1.
- The marked paintjobs show a Moving Shadow logo.

Workshop Proceeding
An All-of-Government Approach to Increase Resilience for International Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) Events (2014)Disasters Roundtable
Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and high-yield Explosive (CBRNE) events have the potential to destabilize governments and create conditions that exacerbate violence or promote terrorism. Their occurrence and effects can trigger global repercussions, and they can quickly overwhelm the infrastructure and capability of the responders, especially in countries that do not have specialized resources for response. Effective response to CBRNE events is a U.S. national security priority as outlined in the National Security Strategy (White House, 2010) and National Strategy for Counterterrorism (White House, 2011). When a CBRNE incident occurs in a partner nation or other foreign country, the U.S. often is asked or offers to provide assistance. More effective CBRNE response could help save lives and alleviate suffering, and in terms of national security, better response and greater resilience to CBRNE events could also reduce the incentive for those who would perpetrate them.
At the request of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Research Council organized a workshop to discuss ways to strengthen the U.S. ability to prepare for and respond to CBRNE events that occur in U.S. partner nations. The workshop brought together diverse experts and stakeholders to identify capabilities that are necessary for response to an international CBRNE event; discuss best practices and resources needed for improved interoperability of the U.S. and partner nations during response to a CBRNE event; and identify key questions that would help to improve U.S. CBRNE response in partner nations.

ROME (AP) - Back pain forced Andy Murray to retire midway through his second-round match at the Italian Open on Wednesday. He may have to sit out the French Open, too.
Rafael Nadal began his bid for a seventh Rome title by cruising past local hope Fognini of Italy 6-1, 6-3 in just 61 minutes, and two-time defending champion Maria Sharapova eased past Spanish qualifier Garbine Muguruza 6-2, 6-2.
Meanwhile, rising Polish player Jerzy Janowicz upset eighth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-4, 7-6 (5) then celebrated by ripping his shirt apart, showing off his muscular physique.
Murray, who was celebrating his 26th birthday, walked off the court after winning the second set against Spanish opponent Marcel Granollers.
'I have an issue with my lower back,' Murray said. 'It's been an issue for a while.'
Murray took a long injury break early in the second set, getting his left thigh and lower back massaged.
Granollers won the first set 6-3 and Murray won the second 7-6 (5).
This tournament is a key clay-court warm-up for Roland Garros, the year's second Grand Slam, which starts on May 26.
'I would be very surprised if I was playing in Paris,' Murray said. 'I need to make a plan as to what I do. I'll chat with the guys tonight and make a plan for the next few days then make a decision on Paris after the next five days.
Murray called for the trainer while trailing 2-1 in the second set. He then lost the next two games to trail 4-1 before battling back to force a tiebreaker.
'I want to make sure it goes away,' Murray added. 'It's been a problem since the end of 2011 but it got bad during last year's clay season.'
Nadal will next face Latvian qualifier Ernests Gulbis, who reached the semifinals in 2010.
Gulbis routed Viktor Troicki of Serbia 6-1, 6-1. Early in the second set during an argument over a line call with the chair umpire, Troicki dragged a cameraman out onto the court to shoot the ball mark.
Sharapova now meets 16th-seeded Sloane Stephens of the United States, who rallied past Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands 4-6, 6-3, 6-2.
Stephens reached the Australian Open semifinals in January with a win over Serena Williams.
'She's been climbing up against the rankings,' Sharapova said. 'I haven't played against her in a while. I'm excited about that matchup.'
Earlier, the 24th-ranked Janowicz improved his record against top-10 opponents to 3-5, having closed last year by reaching the Paris Masters final as a qualifier, beating Murray and Janko Tipsarevic along the way. The 22-year-old Janowicz is one of only five players under the age of 24 in the top 40.
After beating Tsonga with a forehand passing shot up the line on match point, Janowicz tore his shirt into pieces and tossed it to the crowd.
'I was really happy, especially because I didn't get off to a good start to the season and I was sick,' said Janowicz, who has been bothered by ear, nose and throat infections. 'Now I'm healthy.'
Last week's Madrid Open runner-up Stanislas Wawrinka withdrew before his match against Alexander Dolgopolov with a right leg injury. Dolgopolov will next face top-ranked Novak Djokovic.
In a rough day for seeded players, Jeremy Chardy of France upset No. 16 Kei Nishikori of Japan 6-4, 6-1.
In the women's tournament, last year's runner-up Li Na beat fellow Chinese player Zheng Jie 6-3, 6-1; seventh-seeded Sara Errani battled past Christina McHale of the United States 7-5, 5-7, 6-2; and 12th-seeded Maria Kirilenko eliminated Varvara Lepchenko of the United States 6-3, 6-1.
Also, 13th-seeded Roberta Vinci beat wild card and fellow Italian Nastassja Burnett 6-1, 6-4; 14th-seeded Dominika Cibulkova rallied past Melanie Oudin of the United States 5-7, 6-1, 6-3; and two-time champion Jelena Jankovic routed fellow Serb Bojana Jovanovski 6-2, 6-0.

The idea is a national clandestine psyop, using my first novel as a vehicle. On next Thursday, March 1, Enemies Foreign And Domestic will be put into Amazon Kindle's free library, for a period of up to five days.
Where EFAD's free download promotion will be different from those of the thousands of fantasy/romance/vampire novels currently offered on Kindle, is that I'm simultaneously coordinating a mass plan to ensure that Operation EFAD goes hyper-viral on all constitutionally-oriented, freedom-loving, and Second Amendment websites and blogs at the same time.
Or on at least on as many as I can reach, and that is where you come in. There are literally hundreds of patriotic websites and blogs, and I can only reach a few. You can reach them all, every last one. And then some. More about this in the next communiqué on D Minus Six.
Despite its many limitations, Twitter will be useful for rapid tactical coordination. Operation Enemies Foreign And Domestic will be code-named #EFAD, in order to use Twitter as an always-open back channel for project updates and participant feedback. By typing #EFAD into the Twitter search field, you will find every new message related to the operation. I am @MattBracken48 on Twitter, I am Matt Bracken on Facebook, and I can be reached by email at steelcutter48 at gmail.com.
My goal is to make the spike in the number of free Kindle downloads for Enemies Foreign And Domestic so dramatic, that the national media will notice the passionate interest in this "dangerous and seditious" novel among the bitter clingers. But this is just the first step of a jiu-jitsu move. The light thrown on EFAD's sudden nationwide surge in popularity will then be mirrored back onto the federal government's most egregious usurpations and abuses, and on the mainstream media itself.
The idea is to force open a long overdue national conversation that the elite MSM very much wants to ignore. In large strokes, it is about our federal government morphing into a socialist tyranny before our eyes, a tyranny that is no longer soft, but getting harder with every passing month. Which is it to be: freedom, or tyranny?
The first step in forcing open this dialogue will be to explore the mainstream media's active collusion in the cover-up of a scandal that is demonstrably orders of magnitude worse than the worst previous scandals, such as Watergate, which was "a third-rate burglary" where nobody was killed. To date, the DOJ's Operation Fast And Furious has resulted in hundreds of murdered Mexicans and at least two dead U.S. federal agents. But instead of providing real news coverage, the MSM feeds America the pabulum of celebrity worship and an artificially-contrived debate about artificial birth control.
Imagine for a moment if President Nixon's men, when called before the congressional committees invistigating the Watergate scandal, had provided nothing but thousands of pages of fully blacked-out paper. In effect, a giant, bored, "F—k you, what are you going to do about it?" to congress. Then imagine if the Washington Post, the New York Times and the television networks never mentioned Watergate or the hearings, except rarely, and then only to call the congressional investigators partisan hacks who were bent on destroying our beloved President Nixon.
Reverse the party polarity, jump forward through the time warp, and you have the current reality, where gangsters rule the federal government from the White House, the Fast And Furious congressional investigators are impotent buffoons, and the MSM is fully in on the cover-up. Nobody died at the Watergate, but recall what the hysterical 24-7 news coverage of the Watergate scandal and hearings accomplished: the end of a presidency, pronto. And an Attorney General in prison.
In the modern case of Operation Fast And Furious, hundreds of Mexicans were murdered as the result of a diabolically evil plot laid with the sole purpose of discrediting the Second Amendment, by deliberately funneling semi-automatic rifles to known drug cartel killers and assassins. Their goal was to bury our Right to Keep and Bear Arms beneath a mountain of Mexican corpses.
Folks, it doesn't get much more evil than that.
And we know why these socialist dictators-in-waiting want us disarmed.
In 2012, the fictional premise of Enemies Foreign And Domestic, that a small clique of senior BATFE officials might conspire to arrange a mass shooting into a packed football stadium (also with the intention of discrediting our Right to Keep and Bear Arms), suddenly seems much less far-fetched.
So here's the plan: on Thursday, March 1, we will engineer a stratospheric spike in the number of free Kindle downloads of Enemies Foreign And Domestic, and continue this operation for up to five days, the max allowable under the terms of the free download program. We will watch the MSM explore this sudden and frightening phenomenon erupting among the unwashed gun nuts and wild-eyed Constitution fanatics. When they predictably condemn EFAD for its fictional assassinations of government officials, and the rest of the story that they will pretend to find so abhorrent, we will shine their own spotlight right back on them, and yell Fast And Furious in their faces!
"Really? Enemies Foreign And Domestic is a terrorist manual? Well, I'll see your fictional stadium massacre, and raise you a real-world conspiracy to murder hundreds of Mexicans. If you would ever cover the story, instead of covering it up!"
And this can all happen by getting a million or so gun owners and other freedom lovers to download EFAD, totally for free, beginning on March 1st. This will be a coordinated "time-on-target" fire mission. Further communiqués will be forthcoming from EFAD HQ. Search keyword #EFAD on Twitter for other operational updates, including links.
If you email me (steelcutter48 at gmail.com), please include #EFAD somewhere in the subject line, so that I will know that you have been briefed to this point and are up to speed. And keep in mind that while you are all my patriotic friends and loyal readers, at various time I may know you by a screen name, a real name, a website name, or an email address name. It gets mighty confusing, so forgive me if I can't keep all of your various handles straight.
Matt Bracken—Out.
Thanks CA!

Kofi Annan's arrogance
By Henry Lamb
On television screens around the world, Kofi Annan said: "The members of the Security Council now face a great choice. If they fail to agree on a common position, and action is taken without the authority of the Security Council, the legitimacy and support of any such action will be seriously impaired."
Mr. Annan, you're dead wrong.
Military action by the United States is legitimized by the U.S. Congress, not by the U.N. Security Council. On October 16, 2002, Congressional Resolution 114 became Public Law 107-243, which authorized the President of the United States to:
Not another word is needed.
It is the U.N.'s 12-year failure to enforce 17 of its own resolutions that has allowed Iraq to become a serious threat to the United States. Now that Iraq is a threat which the U.S. must remove, Kofi Annan has the audacity to condemn the actions as "illegitimate." This pronouncement by Kofi Annan will make any action taken by the U.S., subject to the war crimes provisions of the International Criminal Court, in the eyes of the United Nations.
Had the U.N. pushers had their way in recent years, the U.S. would be powerless against the U.N.'s so-called global governance. In 1961, State Department Publication 7277 promoted the U.N.'s proposal to disarm all national militaries and create instead, a global standing army under the U.N.'s command.
In 1995, the Commission on Global Governance renewed this proposal, saying "What is needed is demilitarization of international society," and "A United Nations Volunteer Force should be formed and be available for rapid deployment under the authority of the Security Council."
U.N. pushers have long craved a global tax, to provide independent funding for its operations, to be free from the shackles of member's contributions. The Tobin Tax was actually introduced in the U.S. Congress, and is supported by many main-stream organizations. If the U.N. had this taxing authority, it could afford the standing army it desires.
Had the United States ratified the Kyoto Protocol when it was first proposed in 1997, the bureaucracy would be just about strong enough by now, to have a measure of control over the fossil fuel that could be imported by the U.S.
Had the United States ratified the International Criminal Court, military action outside the U.N. would, in fact, subject the U.S. to "war crimes" as defined by the same countries that condemn as illegitimate our right to self defense.
Fortunately, our leaders have rejected the urging of the U.N. pushers, and the United States is still a sovereign nation. It is now extremely clear that the U.N.'s goal is to amass power superior to the sovereignty of all nations. Kofi Annan's remarks indicate that he believes the U.N. has that power, if not in fact, by virtue of public support.
Once again, Congressman Ron Paul has introduced HR1146, the American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003. This bill will withdraw the United States from the United Nations.
In view of the fiasco at the U.N. in recent weeks, every American should realize that further participation in the United Nations is not just a waste of time and money, it is a threat to the sovereignty of our nation. Congress should take a long, hard look at what we get for our U.N. investment, and find better ways to spend hard-earned tax dollars.
Kofi Annan is dead wrong in his condemnation of U.S. action against Iraq. France, Russia, China, and many other countries, would like nothing better than to contain and control the United States. They have no hope of doing it alone, and see the U.N. as their best hope of putting a halter on this nation.
Should they succeed in forcing the United States to submit to the authority of the U.N., the beacon of freedom in the world would be extinguished in a spiral of increasing oppression, from which it may take centuries to escape.
Now is the time to say goodbye to the U.N. - and good riddance.
Henry Lamb is the executive vice president of the Environmental
Conservation Organization, and chairman of Sovereignty

The Heart's Key to Health, Happiness and Success
- Product
- August 6, 2014
In holistic healing, many people talk about the mind-body connection. Emotions, which arise from the world of our heart, are usually dismissed as a by-product of our thinking or as having physical causes. This book addresses the missing link in most holistic healing work, which is learning to work directly with emotions.

Table of Contents:
Our ancestors praised a boar when it was stale: not because they had no noses; but with this view, I suppose, that a visitor coming later than ordinary [might partake of it], though a little musty, rather than the voracious master should devour it all himself while sweet. I wish that the primitive earth had produced me among such heroes as these. Have you any regard for reputation, which affects the human ear more agreeably than music? Great turbots and dishes bring great disgrace along with them, together with expense. Add to this, that your relations and neighbors will be exasperated at you, while you will be at enmity with yourself and desirous of death in vain, since you will not in your poverty have three farthings left to purchase a rope withal. Trausius, you say, may with justice be called to account in such language as this; but I possess an ample revenue, and wealth sufficient for three potentates. Why then have you no better method of expending your superfluities? Why is any man, undeserving [of distressed circumstances], in want, while you abound? How comes it to pass, that the ancient temples of the gods are falling to ruin? Why do not you, wretch that you are, bestow something on your dear country, out of so vast a hoard? What, will matters always go well with you alone? 0 thou, that hereafter shalt be the great derision of thine enemies! which of the two shall depend upon himself in exigences with most certainty? He who has used his mind and high-swollen body to redundancies; or he who, contented with a little and provident for the future, like a wise man in time of peace, shall make the necessary preparations for war? That you may the more readily give credit to these things: I myself, when a little boy, took notice that this Ofellus did not use his unencumbered estate more profusely, than he does now it is reduced. You may see the sturdy husbandman laboring for hire in the land [once his own, but now] assigned [to others],1 with his cattle and children, talking to this effect; I never ventured to eat any thing on a work-day except pot-herbs, with a hock of smoke-dried bacon. And when a friend came to visit me after a long absence, or a neighbor, an acceptable guest to me resting from work on account of the rain, we lived well; not on fishes fetched from the city, but on a pullet and a kid: then a dried grape, and a nut, with a large fig,2 set off our second course. After this, it was our diversion to have no other regulation in our cups, save that against drinking to excess:3 then Ceres worshiped [with a libation], that the corn might arise in lofty stems, smoothed with wine the melancholy of the contracted brow. Let fortune rage, and stir up new tumults: what can she do more to impair my estate? How much more savingly have either I lived, or how much less neatly have you gone, my children, since this new possessor came? For nature has appointed to be lord of this earthly property, neither him, nor me, nor any one. He drove us out: either iniquity or ignorance in the quirks of the law shall [do the same by] him: certainly in the end his long-lived heir shall expel him. Now this field under the denomination of Umbrenus', lately it was Ofellus', the perpetual property of no man; for it turns to my use one while, and by and by to that of another. Wherefore, live undaunted; and oppose gallant breasts against the strokes of adversity.
1 "Metato in agello." Ofellus was involved in the same disgrace and ruin as Virgil, Tibullus, and Propertius. Their estates were given by Octavius to the veterans who had served against Brutus and Cassius in the battle of Philippi. That of Ofellus was given to Umbrenus, who hired its former master to till the ground for him, "mercede colonum". As each soldier had a certain number of acres, the land was measured, "metato agello", before it was divided.
2 "Duplice" , a kind of large fig, called Marisca; or bifida; or figs were split into two parts, and when dried, served up mensis secundis. The last is proved to be the correct interpretation from Pallad. R. R. iv. 10, 36: "Subinde ficus, sicut est divisa, vertatur, ut ficorum coria siccentur et pulpae tunc duplicate in cistellis serventur aut loculis."
3 It was customary with the Romans to appoint some person magister bibendi, who directed the number of cups to be taken, and the toasts, etc. Ofella says there was no such person appointed, but that the only president that they had at their table was culpa, i. e. "excess." Each person took as much as he pleased, restricted only by the feeling that excess was culpable. The ancients had a ludus, which was intended to prevent the intoxication that might arise from being obliged to obey the magister bibendi in taking the number of cups which he directed. The person who (aliqua in re peccarat) violated any of the convivial laws or customs, was punished by being obliged to drink a cupful, poculo multabatur, so that as no one drank but those who committed some breach of the laws, bibere poenae et dedecoris esset, non invitationis aut magisterii. Thus culpa was magistra bibendi.

2012 was a fantastic year! There were ups and downs, as always in this life, but it has been a joyful year for me. I'm looking forward to 2013, and I have plans and hopes ... but I've really learned that there is no way to predict how it may turn out. There is such a fine balance between planning/preparation and waiting on the Lord to see how things will unfold.
I was very optimistic about the start of 2012, I feel a bit more uncertain and hesitant about 2013 - I can't explain why, just my gut feeling. But I'm not worried or anxious. God has been so good to me.
I hope your year and your perspective are hopeful and open to possibility. I'll be ringing in the year with games and chili - what about you?

Keystone Exams take away local control of education
By ACL
Letter to the Editor:
This September will mark the first year the Keystone Exams will be used as the deciding factor for whether or not students will graduate from Pennsylvania's public high schools.
September will also mark the five-year anniversary of House Resolution 456, the bi-partisan legislation that urged Gov. Ed Rendell to cease all funding and implementation of high school graduation requirements. I was a co-sponsor of this legislation, along with 80 percent of my colleagues in the House of Representatives.
Pennsylvania is home to 500 school districts and approximately 1.8 million students. Each child that is enrolled in one of these school districts is different than the next child. They learn differently, they face different challenges, they excel in different areas, and they test differently. They are the 1.8 million reasons as to why the one-size-fits-all approach to education is wrong.
I believe we should have standards for our schools and all stakeholders should be held accountable to these standards. However, I believe the best judges of a student's progress should be those who know the student best; parents, teachers, school administrators and school boards. No Child Left Behind was wrong because it took the focus off the individual student and placed it on testing. The Keystone Exams takes this one step further. Rather than targeting the school for low test scores, it targets and penalizes the child.
The Keystone Exams were first introduced as the Graduation Competency Assessments (GCA) on Jan. 2, 2008. The Senate and House delivered an overwhelming, bi-partisan response of opposition by placing a moratorium on the Rendell Administration with the passage of Act 61 of July 9, 2008, Section 117, which specifically prohibited the promulgation, approval, or proposal of "a regulation to change or establish high school graduation requirements." However, the Department of Education ignored this moratorium and issued a solicitation request to begin the development of GCAs.
Republican leadership in the House and Senate continued to urge the governor to cease implementation, but it fell on deaf ears as the GCA morphed into the Keystone Exams and a contract for more than $200 million was signed with Data Recognition Corp.
On Sept. 30, 2009, the State Board of Education took a vote to approve high school graduation requirements. The majority and minority chairmen of the House and Senate Education Committees sit on the State Board of Education. Rep. Paul Clymer, Republican Chairman for the House Education Committee, was the only legislator to vote no.
As federal and state government assume more control of education, local control diminishes. The personal face behind these tests fades away as these children become numbers. We are presented with data to debate over why some districts are reporting more progress than others. We do not know the personal story of each child behind the data. This is the exact reason we have school boards. Out of Pennsylvania's 500 school boards, fewer than 20 expressed support for the Keystone Exams.
Five years ago, the General Assembly was denied the opportunity to vote on the Keystone Exams and now we are at a critical turning point for education in Pennsylvania. This September our children will be equipped with a No. 2 pencil and a bubble sheet as their future weighs in the balance instead of with the local school district, where it belongs.
State Representative Stephen E. Barrar

Community news and activity roundupFebruary 6th, 2012 - No Comments
It has been a really busy few months in "MQTT land" and there have been a lot of changes and updates – if you haven't been following us on Twitter, Google+ or the mailing list, it might be worth recapping some of the news here.
The mqtt.org wiki has had a thorough facelift – upgraded, new capabilities added, a mobile web UI, and a lot more information added. Over time, the static Documentation and FAQ pages will probably migrate there as well. We now have a section dedicated to the protocol itself including some of the clarifications and questions around the spec that have come up via the mailing list; a much more extensive page listing example uses; some ideas for people wanting to develop new "things"; and the coding examples section is being worked on (did you know there's an iPhone example now?). Wikis work best with lots of contributors, so please help to build it up into a better resource – even if only to add some headings for new sections that you'd like to see created!
New implementations
The Software page continues to grow. That's very awesome, as it means that more people get to try out MQTT in their languages of choice. There are device implementations for the Netduino and Nanode now, the node.js implementation has been significantly improved, there are some more Java implementations, and there's also now a "plugins" section that lists extensions which add MQTT support to other runtimes.
Excitingly, there are also a couple of new broker implementations due soon – ELWIX (an embedded UNIX variant) is due to support MQTT in the next release, and Nirvana have announced early access to MQTT support in v7 of their messaging product.
A couple of podcasts featuring MQTT content came out during January:
- episode 9 of the IBM Connectivity and Integration podcast series features Andy Piper talking to Angel Diaz of IBM, and Arlen Nipper of Eurotech (Arlen was co-inventor of MQTT)
- there is an episode of the Technometria podcast dedicated to MQTT, with Andy Piper answering some deeper technical questions about the protocol.
Events (and Awards)
A quick round-up of recent and forthcoming events:
- IBM announced a (funded) residency to write a Redbook on MQTT during March.
- The first face-to-face meeting of the Eclipse M2M Industry Working Group took place in Hursley, UK, on January 31 2012. The Eclipse Paho roadmap was discussed (more on this to come).
- EclipseCon takes place in Reston, Virginia, March 26-29 and will feature M2M/IoT content and birds-of-a-feather sessions.
- MQTT on an Amazon Kindle (!) won the Innovation Award at the London Green Hackathon, January 28-29 – check it out!
If you've ever wanted a cool MQTT Inside sticker for your project, Ben Hardill has come up with a neat tool that uses the MOO API to enable you to self-serve purchase stickerbooks filled with them. That's over on the new Goodies page, and the plan is to add more handy promotional schwag over there in time. What kinds of things should we make available? Let us know!

Folks, I have a "little sewing project" offer here
A Peter Lynn waterfoil 5.7m kite, an old model of Peter Lynn fixed bridle closed cell foils was sitting in my closet. I noticed one 7" long single thread went bad, began to inspect others and ended up opening seams on 5 cells so stitching back is required. If you got a sewing machine and know how to use it, or have a dear one who can run some threads through ripstop you'll get yourself a little spring project.
Being closed cell it would not sink when landed on water, having brake lines it would reverse relaunch and will pull like a truck when in the air. Black/Yellow "Bee" color scheme.
I know that most of folks here are into revs but I also know that many are good with a sewing machine or know someone who is.
I'd take offers for this big fat foil or would prefer trade.
Peter Lynn 5.7m waterfoil - for a sewing project.
All about dual and quad line power kiting.

Two weeks ago, when I wrote about Hurricane Sandy in this blog for the first time, the storm had just passed and residents of the storm-ravaged East Coast were just beginning to assess the damage.
Now recovery and rebuilding are underway, with utilities working hard to restore power and water services to their customers. In the meantime, aid and supplies came into the region from across the country. Many in the water treatment industry stepped up in a big way to ensure that residents whose water services were disrupted had safe water to drink.
From bottled water companies to dealerships, many businesses trucked bottled water to the East Coast. Other industries got in the mix as well: Anheuser-Busch, for example, halted canning beer so it could instead can drinking water to send to New Jersey storm victims.
Do you know of any other efforts to help Hurricane Sandy victims access clean water? Tell us about them [email protected].

At first glance, the third-person Warrior seems rather appealing in its simplicity. Enemies appear in great numbers, waiting to be cut down. Chewing a path through them with sword, shield, and bow-and-arrow proves to be great fun, and there's a definite sense of urgency imparted to all the fights. Battles are tense affairs, they're highlighted by huge explosions, crumbling towers, flying bodies, and lots of blood. The game has the good sense to keep the pressure on at all times; enemies will seek to enlist reinforcements by ringing alarms, are proficient at blocking, and will maneuver around the Spartan and his allies so as to hit from the side or rear.
Individual missions are varied enough so as to provide challenge and stave off boredom. Aside from simply slaughtering Romans, the game tasks its hero with defending gates, protecting heroes, escorting allies to safety, assaulting huge bosses, and destroying the enemy's ability to wage war by poisoning his water supply and wrecking his siege weaponry. One of the most interesting of Warrior's challenges has the protagonist on top of a city wall repelling an enemy invasion while simultaneously attempting to destroy a rampaging golem. Here, he must drop burning oil on Roman siege engineers attempting to open the city gates while battling soldiers coming over the top, and when prompted, rush to activate three ballistas to destroy the approaching behemoth.
It would have been easy for the developers to simply let this game mire itself in an endless series of battles until its completion. That they stabbed at and largely succeeded in creating a beat-'em-up that's varied in its mission structure is an accomplishment of some note. Yet the game does not follow through. It slips up in handling some of game making's most crucial aspects -- almost as if Game Making 101, pardon the pun, was all Greek to developer The Creative Assembly.
Missions are strung together in chunks. One series of missions involves the Spartan and an ally infiltrating the Romans' camp. Initially, enemy archers must be dispatched, fire arrows retrieved, and then put to use on explosive barrels conveniently placed near a gate. After the gate is blown, the two proceed into the camp and battle more foes before exploding another gate. When the player enters the next area, the game considers this a checkpoint and saves all progress. But it also saves the hero's health as is, and if the hero's health is depleted, the player is, to put it mildly, out of luck. Because the game is, again, pardon the pun, spartan in its use of health stations, death becomes plentiful, and the experience frustrating.
