I'd say you hit it on the head with this one, Steve. Taking action, in the long run, is way better than not taking action. If you don't take action, nothing is going to change. And like you said, unless you are completely satisfied with your life, it is better to take action and take a few risks than to remain complacent in an unsatisfying life.

I take a lot of action. I take a lot of non-action. I consider both to be essential. Generally the non-action consists of getting ready for action. I sit and just be, collecting my mental reserves. Then when it comes time to take the action, it moves right along. My action also tends to contain elements of non-action as well. I'm watching, collecting data to crunch later in my non-active mode. But then, my aim is not success in the world. Success is more of a side project. |

people in their 20's being a definable category of people, it feels to me...very limiting and confining....... it influences my mind.....my brain is going... " here is a description of people in their 20's....." and it becomes an unconscious assciation that "people in their 20's are like this and do this"....... Identity defining, maybe....I think it's possibly Very destructive and limiting even though there's prob genuine good intentions, at least it feels so to me.... because I don't want pyschological limits placed on what I can do and who I can be I think a more free-ing way is, "Some people make the mistake of believing that they will achieve their big goal within a year..." or "A warning to people new to starting a business or if you're thinking of giving up" instead of "People in their 20's (Or whatever age number defined category) often make the mistake of..." etc it may be a real description of things and a factual and useful observation, but i think the non-categorizing of people way will expand the persons imagination of what they can do & be and therefore this will have a positive influence on what they do & what they become Last edited by roxyruby; 04-22-2011 at 01:38 PM. |

Good post. Definitely something I needed to hear right now. It seems the theme of my life right now is sticking with something (maintaining focus) until completion. If I had to target my number one weakness it would be this ADD-esque flitting from idea to idea without seeing any of them through to completion. I'm highly productive and efficient and action oriented. I can get **** done very quickly. I just need to develop an element of focus that keeps me on task longer. Any suggestions? |

Want to know the really scary part about the "people in their 20's" statement? Those people are going to become people in their 30's, 40's and onward. In other words, it's a generation thing. That does appear to be a general characteristic of people in my generation. I don't think that's going to change according to the number of years you've been alive. It's going to take actually doing something about it. Timely article for me as well. Thanks! |

I say: Have faith that you will get better with time, because you are a person committed to personal development You are right, some people won't change, and will still be as spoilt and have huge expectations of themselves in their 40s. But it's also a youth thing, and I think an important one, because it's where the young get their drive. The experience and wisdom comes later with time. | |

| Make a decision to focus on your top priorities every day, frequently. Make a decision to work on your goals every day. Decide that if it takes 10 years it takes 10 years, but this is your lifestyle now. Also eliminate or seriously reduce distractions. For me: videos and these forums. I have to journal every day and notice and appreciate any habit I kept or progress I made towards my goals. Otherwise I forget where I'm going. My attention gets swallowed up in the next shiny idea. I just started using 42goals.com and I think it's going to be invaluable for me. |

20-somethings today are exposed to more advertising than at any other time in history. A lot of those marketing messages create false expectations by promising fast and easy "instant" results if you buy something. There is an upside to this, however. 20-somethings also have more opportunities than ever. They actually can achieve success a lot faster than people in other generations by leveraging technology better, but it still takes time to develop this kind of skill. Even if you think you can move ahead rapidly, it helps to maintain a long time perspective. It's hard to make progress along certain lines if you switch directions every 6-12 months. Some things just take time to build. |

Interesting article Quote:
I know from experience these will often lead to inaction--perhaps too often--but how do you avoid wasting a bunch of time on something you figure out you don't want anyway? | |

Steve is right about the "20 somethings" quick and easy mentality, I have felt this in myself and I am consciously trying to shift to long term perspective. (Which feels more grounded, stable, and fun). The quick and easy almost feels anxious because of all the marketing hype you feel pressured to finish quick in a business sense. I still have it now - Reading this article amplified the truth of it in myself a bit more which is good. I know if I go deeper and review long term career goals that I could have a more grounded and stronger vision. Thanks |

Sheesh... after reading this article I managed to tumble down an "A.D.D. rabbit hole" FOR AT LEAST 4 HOURS! (A.D.D. rabbit hole: It's where you start with one tab open, then your browser somehow balloons out to 20+ tabs open (all MUST read), and then when you finally get back to that first initial tab you opened, you find that hours and hours have gone by and you can barely remember anything you just read!) Epic Fail... Anyways, this is all I have to show for it right now...

Just recently posted by Tim Ferriss: The Non-Overnight Success: How Twitter Became Twitter In the beginning I also thought I would succeed faster (I started being self-employed about 2.5 years ago) - now I'm actually overwhelmed by the pace!

Steve, I see a real maturity in this post. There is no talk of the subconscious, of controlling your thoughts, of vibration. I agree that action bias, and using the feedback loop is essential. And by the way, I think that controlling the subconscious, and controlling ones speech and thoughts is also very important. I'm in my 40's and it's only now that I've figured out business that takes me to another level. And that's from 6 years of running a software business, and struggling, and most importantly continuing to read and learn and apply new ideas. Believe it or not, it was reading a book "E-Myth" that took me to another level. I saw how to take a business and grow it by defining the roles, and hiring to the role, not to the person. And to stop being the business, but to work outside my business, and design my business as a repeatable system outside of me. Anyways, it's good to read common sense advice that is true. So many people want things, and want them fast, and want them by "magic" and "belief", and not by taking actions, noticing the feedback, and adjusting their actions. Another thing I see in a lot of people posting here, is they don't think big enough. They want to find "a dollar". They don't know that if they adjust their thinking to 1 Million dollars it's possible for everybody, you just have to take actions on a scale. |

I don't even...This is so brilliant Steve. I really really appreciate you writing this. I've been so inactive just sliding by, something happened & it kicked me off my track but I won't let it. I'm gonna get back on. Even little things I won't act on, but I need to act on them because then it prepares me for the bigger things. At the moment I'd say my long term commitment is university. Next year I start my double major which takes 4 years to complete (doing first year at the moment). Also saving up for my exchange to Germany in 2013. Also my fan blog. Ahh wow I'm so nervous, like I'm on the edge of something. This is weird. Thank you so much. |

| WARNING: Reading Steve's post may disrupt your day: Here's my experience with that: I went to the gym as I usually do and I generally stick to my routine at the gym. Except now, aside from just noticing all the hot girls -- I noticed myself actively talking myself out of asking one out: "You don't want to be a creeper at the gym." "She's probably weird, despite being cute." Etc. It was a seriously frustrating experience. I had a lot of inner turmoil, because I didn't really think I wanted to ask anyone out, but I kept obsessing about doing it because of "action bias." Well, long story short, I resolved to ask this one girl I saw out with a Grateful Dead shirt who was doing ab exercises in front of me for a while. I do my last rep and ... low and behold..she's gone! I don't have to do this, phew! Okay, I get out of the gym..and ****, she's walking down. I pretty much go on auto pilot at this point and walk near her and say "Excuse me" (she's wearing headphones). "Yes?" Now that she has said yes, I proceed to have sex with her. (Okay, that was my attempt at a joke -- here's how it actually went). My dialogue went something like this: "I'm only doing this because you're cute and I will regret it if I don't ask..I don't really care, anyway -- you want to come see this concert with me this Tuesday?" "Tuesday? I have a final!" "Oh, well how about some coffee sometime then?" "Sure." "Okay, want to take my number down? I don't have my phone on me." *she takes my number down* "What's your name?" *we exchange names and shake hands* *she asks me "Are you local?" "Yes." "Oh cool, me too." "Okay cool, well text me if you want to get together after finals." "Okay! Bye!" So she hasn't texted me.. it's been about an hour. I doubt she will. BUT, I am glad I did this. Next time I think I can be more confident and it was a real big rush to do this.. It did make my work out a little tenser then usual! So read Steve's post at your own risk. It may mess with your head!! |

DIY Halloween: Easy and Affordable Viking Costume Under $25
A simple costume design, perfect for a little boy, combines store-bought accessories with items found around the house.
E-mail This Page to Your Friends
A link to %this page% was e-mailed
Materials Needed:
- 2 brown toilet seat covers
- Long-sleeve white T-shirt
- 2 yards leather string in brown or black (cut into 5 pieces)
- brown sweatpants
- boots (snow boots or rain boots)
- viking helmet and hammer
Trim Elastic off Seat Covers
Start by cutting the elastic inner ring off the seat covers. The little strings and pieces of fluff from the covers can be messy, so give yourself a few minutes to clean up.
Cut to Fit
Next, make a straight cut toward the center of the cover. Then, cut a small circle in the center that is just big enough to fit comfortably around the wearer's neck. Finally, cut a jagged line around the outside border of the cover.
Accessorize a T-Shirt
Use sharp scissors or a craft knife to make two small cuts on each side of the circle and thread a piece of leather string, tying the "vest" together.
Any white T-shirt with long sleeves will work to complete the costume. Simply wrap a length of black or brown leather string around the wrists and tie. Pair the vest and white shirt with brown sweatpants and a thick brown belt.

On Twitter, the words celebrity and credibility often blur. Nowhere is this more obvious than with the dozens of dead celebrity accounts where strangers take on the identity of deceased stars, often to disturbing yet surprisingly successful results. Unlike Facebook, Twitter doesn't give a rat's ass who are you (unless you claim a verified account) — its namespace is a free for all where squatters, hucksters and freaks thrive with relatively no impunity. Below are 10 dead Twitterers I've selected because they're either really successful (huge following), humorous or so weird that they're notable, sometimes for the wrong reasons.
Sammy Davis Jr
(203 followers, 163 tweets)
Not only is the Candyman a pretty decent Twitterer (163 tweets so far), he's updated his hipster lingo as evidenced in this tweet: "Snuck into Brooklyn to see @questlove last night. All that & the company of @faraichidea. As the kids say, "full of win!"
William S Burroughs
(485 followers, 14 tweets)
For a great author, William S Burroughs surprisingly isn't the most productive dead twitterer but among his 14 tweets are a couple of gems worthy enough to attract 462 weirdos followers. My favorite is this one: "When you cut into the present, the future leaks out."
Jimi Hendrix
(2,907 followers, 149 tweets)
Sure he's been dead for almost 40 years but that hasn't stopped Jimi Hendrix from amassing nearly 3,000 followers with tweets like "my fingers are hurting, time to take a break from playing and light myself up a joint."
GG Allin
(95 followers, 51 tweets)
The scatological punker only has 95 followers and hasn't tweeted since Nov last year because "I got piss in my PC and for some reason it stopped working" but late punker GG Allin is alive and well on the social platform. With tweets like "Ate some chilli with my hands then fingerbanged myself. Felt GOOD too, real hot and spicy up my hole," Allin takes NSFW to new levels.
Joan Crawford
(11 followers, 11 tweets)
Admittedly Joan Crawford is not the most prolific dead twitterer with only 11 tweets posted in over a year but her inaugural tweet ensured this faux diva a place on this list with the dismissive observation: "Busy with housework!" (followed by a series of drunken accounts involving vodka befitting the Hollywood star).
Sylvia Plath
(340 followers, 15 tweets)
The Bell Jar author took her own life in 1963 by sticking her head in an oven. Decades later on Twitter, Plath is still haunting her 340 followers with chilling entries like "Cleaning the oven."
Michael Jackson
(26,075 followers, 0 tweets)
Although he hasn't posted a single tweet and another MJ account has been verified, TheRealMichaelJackson gets props for gaining over 26,000 followers without lifting a single sequined finger.
Frank Zappa
(1,533 followers, 30 tweets)
Music virtuso Frank Zappa not only tweets, he knows who "A list blogger" Robert Scoble is and accurately notes, "Scobleizer twitters more often than I release live albums…."
Corey Haim
(0 followers, 0 tweets)
Okay this one is clearly too soon — the heartless freak who runs the DeadCoreyHaim Twitter account hasn't even posted a single character but the compelling content here isn't his tweets; it's the solitary person Haim is following. Classic conspiracy fodder.
Abe Vigoda
(2.328 followers, 8127 tweets)
Okay the dude's not dead and every single of his 8,000+ tweets reminds you of that. Apparently over 2,000 followers need to be reminded regularly.
Dishonorable Mention
John Wayne Gacy. Not sure who is more disturbing, this serial killer imposter or his followers.
Jay Leno. Yeah he's not dead but his career should be, judging by his non-stop shilling tweets. I'm with Coco.
Adolf Hitler. 1,800+ people follow a doofus who tweets things like "Attention Twitter. Jew's have furry nipples. That is all." Real funny.
J Edgar Hoover. No followers, no tweets, not following anyone. Just a big zero like the guy was in real life.

Many consider Halloween to be one of the most fun holidays of the year. Halloween means dress-up and parties and all those sweet treats. Mother's Day can be another enjoyable holiday, one where families get together and celebrate dear ol' Mom. Fun times, right?
Well, not always. CANDY, created by Jesse Kozel, directed by Sage Hall and written by Jenny Beres, is a short film that takes place on Halloween. However, in this household, it may as well be Mother's Day every day, since Mother gets what she wants. The story goes like this: It's Halloween, and Marcus (Kozel) and his mom Candy (Hall) make their traditional pastry delights. They do this together seemingly all the time, just the two of them. This dysfunctional closeness between mother and son makes Candy very happy. However, this year, Marcus decides to break the rules. He invites a date (Beres) over to their home. Having a young lady come by seems like an OK thing to do—unless your mother is there, and she's wickedly possessive on the inside despite being sugary sweet on the outside.
"Sage and I discussed this," Kozel says, "and we agreed that having a mother and son be so close was odd, and why would she keep her son around for such a long time? Not that I'm saying there is any 'relationship' between them—but maybe in her mind, there is."
Now that Jenny has arrived, the stage is set for a vicious triangle, with interesting twists and turns that go beyond Candy's mere fighting for Marcus' attention and affection. While the film plays out as a comedy with tremendous style (Candy is dressed as a sexy vixen pinup girl), there is a definite creepiness to this eight-minute short. At its heart, CANDY is about a dysfunctional family, and this is where the horror comes in. Jenny is Marcus' first date thanks to his relationship with his mother; he has obviously grown up with the understanding that such a family arrangement is normal. Of course, Candy's dysfunction is a result of her co-dependence on her son, and she literally uses "candy" as the substance to keep him bound to her.
"I believe Candy has pushed Marcus his whole life to love what she loves, and he may even be good at baking," Kozel notes. "I do feel that he knows what makes her happy, and there is no reason to piss her off. He lives to please his mother."
Throughout the piece, the bonds between the characters go through their own dysfunctions and an aspect of the rule of three applies—meaning someone is always left out. It's a fun story despite the darkness beneath, and Kozel's choice to shoot in black and white gives the film a retro feeling that works. The script is clever—especially the final line, which, without giving anything away, sums up the aforementioned dysfunction. CANDY can be seen here.

The first thing I did was to read over the comments from my critique group - they are so wise! Then I looked over my story with fresh eyes. Very fresh. My last manuscript update was dated 2007.
It took me a while but I was able to immerse myself again and do some heavy revisions. There is still room for a little more but being primarily an illustrator I was anxious to get on with pacing the story. I made a grid for the page spreads on a large sheet of graph paper then I wrote each character's dialog on color coded sticky notes so I could move them around to establish the page breaks and turns.
Once I was fairly happy with where the stickies were I moved them to a mock up (8 legal size sheets of paper folded in half). I moved the stickies to the mock up and then with real page turns, I shifted things around until I was satisfied.
The next thing I did was to sketch out my characters without looking at the previous versions. I didn't want to just copy my old approach. I've sketched out one scene so far to see if it is going to work:
For comparison here is the original version: (so glad I got rid of the hat in the revise)

You said yourself he can't have sex like a normal person because he has a bat cave, and a utility belt, and all kinds of knick knacks and paddiwacks that prohibit him from even removing his gloves, let alone having normal sex.
One thing that bothered me about that scene was, with all his paranoia about leaving fingerprints and DNA around, does he have a bat-condom?
Or is holding it in a part of the bat-skillset?
From my brain to your lips.
You should spend more time chasing girls and less time debating them Ogul.
What's this, one poster making an insulting personal comment about another poster and then a moderator apparently endorsing it?
What's happened to Millarworld?
why don't you try having sex with a woman whilst wearing gloves? i'm sure it would go down well. one might argue that wearing gloves while having sex implies that the person you're having sex with is dirty, or somehow unworthy of the intimacy that literal physical touch brings. wearing socks simply suggests laziness or perhaps it's a practicality.
Ah... yeah, I actually know people who have sex wearing full rubber body suits. You shouldn't really judge people on their sexual preferences, it's considered bad form.
Who do you think is the kinkiest superhero when it comes to sex? It's probably Batman right?

Saturday Afternoon: Libel, Slander, Defamation on the Internet
Sept. 1, 2012
Bill Finck of Christogenea.org is Carolyn's guest in the first hour to discuss the ADL-directed campaign to bully and bribe Internet Service Providers (ISP's) to deny service to White Nationalist, Holocaust Revisionist and Christian web sites that expose the truth about the Jews. Bill recently had to move all of his sites to new servers with another company. Because this is an ongoing campaign by the Anti-Defamation League, the discussion was about how to combat it. Finck suggests creating a vehicle representing our "shared core principles" – a defamation league of our own – with a common face fighting on a common front, no matter which of the three above named groups we most identify with.
In the second hour, Carolyn Yeager presents her side of the story in the midst of the accusations and finger-pointing following the apparent demise of Voice of Reason Network. She describes her long slide toward complete disenchantment with VOR, her leave-taking, and her subsequent non-personal criticism concerning the loss of White values at the network (as she perceives it).
Apologies for the wierd ending; the outro music was not audible to Carolyn. Definitions:
Libel: A published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation; a written defamation.
Slander: The action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation.
Defamatory: calumniatory: (used of statements) harmful and often untrue; tending to discredit or malign.

National Historic Trails - Santa Fe National Historic Trail
Jurisdiction: National Park Service
Established: 1987
Route: 1,203 miles (1,937 km)
After Mexican independence in 1821, U.S. and Mexican traders developed the Santa Fe Trail, using American Indian travel and trade routes. It quickly became a commercial and cultural link between the two countries. It also became a road of conquest during the Mexican and Civil wars. With the building of the railroad to Santa Fe in 1880, the trail was largely abandoned. Of the 1,203 miles of trail route between Old Franklin, Missouri, and Santa Fe, New Mexico, more than 200 miles of ruts and trace remain visible; some 30 miles of these are protected on federal lands.
Commerce on the Move
Take a moment to listen, with your imagination, as freight wagons rumble by-bullwhackers shout and snap their whips-oxen bellow-buffalo thunder by-bugles blare. Listen to the quiet conversations in Spanish and English around the campfire-the music and laughter of a fandango.
The mention of the Santa Fe Trail stirs people's imaginations as few other historic trails can. During its colorful history, this legendary route provided a two-way avenue for commerce--played a crucial role in the westward expansion of the United States--brought cultural exchange but also conflict to the varied peoples who used the Trail-and served as a stage for countless human dramas.
Often following game trails, Indians pioneered routes to hunt and trade with other tribes. Indians led Spanish explorers along these traditional routes. Other explorers and Hispanic settlers who traded with the Indians followed. In the 1700s, French traders tried to establish trade with Santa Fe--the provincial capital of Spanish New Mexico-but, like the Americans who tried in the early 1 800s, they frequently were thrown in jail and their trade goods were confiscated. By the early 1 800s, Spanish settlements like Santa Fe (already 200 years old) were well established, the westward expansion of American culture had reached Missouri, trappers and explorers were pushing farther into Indian territories, and Indian peoples struggled to continue their traditional lifestyles. Three major cultures were about to converge along the trail route that all had a role in preparing.
Under Spanish rule, trade with the United States was forbidden, and commerce could only be conducted by secrecy and smuggling. In 1821, Mexico achieved independence from Spain, and dropped trade barriers. Shortly thereafter, a party of five men led by William Becknell, who had left Franklin, Missouri, to trade "to the westward," encountered a group of Mexican soldiers who guided them to Santa Fe, where they sold their goods. Thus encouraged by Mexican officials, the now-legal commerce turned into a burgeoning trade, providing an economic boon for the economies of Mexico's northern provinces and the State of Missouri. Across 900 miles of what are now the States of Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, and New Mexico, merchants pushed enormous caravans of freight wagons westward, loaded with goods for customers in New Mexico that they traded for silver coin, mules, and wool. The Trail took on a distinctly international character as Mexican and American merchants, sometimes in partnerships, developed this commerce across the plains. By the early 1840s, Mexicans may have dominated this international trade, with banking and business ties extending to St. Louis, New York, and even London and Paris. But events were soon to change the nature of trade and the Trail.
Tension and suspicion between the United States and Mexico increased in the 1830s, spurred by Texas independence in 1836. Intensifying the situation were armed raids into New Mexico from Texas in the early 1840s, the annexation of Texas by the United States in 1845, and increased sentiment favoring American territorial expansion. War soon followed. In 1846, the first year of the Mexican War, Colonel Stephen W. Kearny led U.S. troops down the Santa Fe Trail to New Mexico, and marched without armed opposition into Santa Fe. Subsequently, there were revolts against the U.S. occupation, such as the 1847 uprisings at Taos, Mora, and other communities. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the war in 1848, added New Mexico to the United States. The volume of business along the Santa Fe Trail-much of it supplies destined for U.S. Army posts in the new territory--dwarfed pre-war trade, but the Trail's international character faded as a new era began on the road between Santa Fe and Missouri.
As human traffic increased, the Plains Indian tribes saw their homelands, subsistence, and lifeways in jeopardy. More and more confrontations occurred between Indians and travelers. To protect trade caravans, the U.S. Army established military posts like Fort Union (1851) and Fort Larned (1860). Ultimately, Indian resistance could not match the well-equipped incursion into their lands.
The Civil War came to New Mexico in 1861. In early 1862, a Confederate force marched up the Rio Grande, intent upon capturing Fort Union-and, ultimately, the Colorado gold mines. Soon after Albuquerque and Santa Fe fell, volunteer and regular Federal troops defeated the Confederates at Glorieta Pass-the most decisive west-em battle of the Civil War-thereby ending the Confederate threat.
Trail traffic was primarily freighting. Santa Fe area Mexican families sometimes sent their children east along the Trail to be educated in the United States. Stagecoach and mail traffic began in the 1850s. Much of the limited emigration from the east consisted of families of traders and military personnel. The journals and remembrances of women like Marian Sloan Russell and Susan Shelby Magoffin have provided most of our knowledge of life on the Trail beyond the traders' world.
Over time, the Santa Fe Trail developed many routes, braids, and shortcuts that responded to varying landscapes and local conditions, and criss-crossed with other trails and roads. In the 1840s, the longer, safer, and better-watered Mountain Route was opened across Colorado and through the difficult terrain of Raton Pass into New Mexico, providing an alternative to the main trail (Cimarron Route) along the usually dry Cimarron River, where travelers found water only in a few widely scattered springs. By the Civil War, Indian resistance had forced most of the expanding Trail traffic to use the Mountain Route.
The close of the Civil War released the Nation's great industrial energies. The railroad moved westward, providing cheaper and faster transportation. Trail trade continued in large volume as the wagons of large commercial freighting companies carried freight from the railhead, but as the rail lines got longer the Trail became shorter. Trails of mud and dust simply could not compete with trails of steel. In February 1880, as the first steam locomotive arrived at the New Mexican capital, the Santa Fe Trail's era of commerce and conquest passed silently into memory.
"Men show their inside character out here where there are none of the restraints of civilization." (David Kellogg, 1858)

"Far away from my wife and child, and sixhundred miles of constant danger in an uninhabited region was not a pleasant prospect for contemplation. But I laughed with the rest, joked about roasting our bacon with buffalo chips, and the enjoyment we would derive from the company of skeletons that would strew our pathway." (Hezekiah Brake, 1858)
The Trail Today
The freight wagons no longer roll across the prairies, but evidence of the great days of the Trail still exists in the form of buildings and other historic sites; landmarks thatguided the Trail travelers; and, what is most alluring tomany, the remains of the original ruts of the wagonwheels worn into the earth. For many Americans, theTrail story did not end with the last wagon train. A varietyof local, state, and even national efforts have been under-taken to preserve and interpret Trail resources. The establishment of the National Trails System Act, and agrowing awareness of the rich multicultural history of theTrail, have brought about renewed interest in national recognition of this important chapter in our Country's past.
In 1987, Congress acknowledged the significance of the Trail by establishing the Santa Fe National Historic Trail. The Department of the Interior's National Park Service administers the Trail in cooperation with federal, state, andlocal agencies; interested groups; and private landowners.
The National Park Service coordinates efforts, andprovides technical and limited financial assistance toguide the preservation, development, and enjoyment ofthe Trail. Management of Trail resources remains withindividual landowners, nonprofit groups, and federal,state, and local agencies. Planned activities include the marking of an auto tour route; historical research;resource protection; the development of Trail brochures,a guidebook, and other publications; and production ofexhibits and a major interpretive film.
"The whole distance from the settlements on the Missouri to the Mountains in the neighborhood of Santa Fe, is a prairie country, with no obstructions in the route, except the rivers and creeks, and those are generally fordable, with firm sloping banks. No bridges are deemed necessary. A good wagon road can, therefore, be traced out, upon which a sufficient supply of fuel and water can be procured, at all seasons, except in winter." (Alphonso Wetmore, 1824)
Help Perserve the Trail
The Santa Fe National Historic Trail can only be successful with the hard work and dedication of public officials, citizen volunteers, and private landowners of the Trail community who want to preserve the historic resources of the Trail and make its story known to the public. The Trail can be an aid to community efforts for historic preservation and interpretation, greenways, and other public recreation planning.
Many organizations are helping with the planning and development of the National Historic Trail. The Santa Fe Trail Association, a nonprofit organization formed in 1986 to promote public awareness and appreciation of the Santa Fe Trail, is working closely with the National Park Service. Its address is:
Santa Fe Trail Association
Santa Fe Trail Center, RR3
Larned, Kansas 67550
You can help with the development of the Santa Fe National Historic Trail by joining or supporting the work of The Santa Fe Trail Association, state and local historical societies, and other groups that promote or assist with the Santa Fe National Historic Trail. Landowners and site managers can pursue certification of their sites or Trail segments to further public use and protection of Trail resources. Permanent protection of these resources can be achieved by donation of lands or easements to land trusts or other appropriate groups. Financial contributions can support Trail programs. Donations of money, land, or easements may qualify as tax-deductible gifts. For more information contact the National Park Service at the address below.
"But the rejoicing at home... the feasts and the bailes (dances)-not to mention the wine made in their absence and saved for the occasion-was a rich compensation in itself for the hardships that were now in the dead past." (Jose' Librado Gurule's Recollections, 1867)

Pregnant women, mothers with their babies and their families live in the hospital courtyard for lack of space ©Rodrigo Alfaro
Eighteen hundred newborns die each year from unsafe deliveries in Paraguay, and at least 1,500 children lose their mother from preventable causes related to childbirth. This is just the beginning: the country is at the top of adolescent pregnancy in Latin America (along with countries such as Haiti), making this a critical stage in which 25% of deaths in children under 19 years are due to clandestine abortions . In addition, short-term consequences of deficiencies in the health system are fatal, and that more than 3,000 children under five die every year due to the lack of post-partum care, lack of vaccination and being part of the 80% that not receive breastfeeding.
In the first week of February in the District Hospital of Boqueron, even if there was a pediatrician, they wouldn't have work to do. had a pediatrician would have had no work. All children were stillborn or died from lack of medicines and medical equipment to keep them alive. The dead children are abandoned by their families and buried in boxes of bullets, funerals are sad procedures for the hospital director, who is in charge of the ceremony and then return to work where their ambulances have no fuel, kits remedies are empty and there is insufficient equipment to perform basic studies to the 70 000 district citizens.
That is the situation in the Paraguayan Chaco, where doctors say that less than 40% of these deaths are counted for official statistics, that differs from the inhabitants reality -mostly indigenous – in which they are isolated from the hospital by difficult paths to navigate for them and unknown to the regional director's off-road trucks.
Rosalino Gonzalez words, leader of an indigenous community in Laguna Negra, describe a situation of abandonment repeated throughout the continent, only not so dramatic: "In my community we can only reach the hospital using tractors or my bike, making it slowly or dangerous to go with someone pregnant or injured, and from the hospital no one ever comes … except in elections, that's when they arrive with promises …". And those words that seem to other words, said in many places, speak of a unique situation: the Republic of Paraguay is one of the poorest countries in Latin America, and Latin America is the region where there is more inequality in the world, and this reflects in all aspects of life there, from the moment of birth until death. These are the precise, seemingly distant facts that the political and social situation of this country unfortunately forced them to come together and be all in the same place, day after day, causing death where there should be life, boxes instead of cribs: deaths from births.
This is how getting to the DHB, on foot or transported by tractors, some patients get adrift, waiting for hours or days for treatment or return to their homes; they prefer to spend the night outdoors at 50°C and not in their warmer rooms lacking of adequate medical care.
In Asuncion, the situation is different, though no less regrettable; in our first visit to the Hospital from Barrio Obrero, Dr. Fernandez, without the attending doctor specialized in surgery or split the work with her, takes 24 hours shifts followed by more than ten Caesarean deliveries, two vaginal and four interventions in a critical state women due to abortions performed by unqualified people, and the structural impossibility of making necessary studies for mothers, or lack of medical records of them, note that " the most important thing here is to have instinct, and that it does not fail you".
While the doctor is operating on a mother, a girl of 16 years with a bleeding caused by an abortion walks into the bathroom leaving a huge trail of blood, when she came back she said that something came out of her, returned to her bed and stared at another girl bleeding on a stretcher.
Three other teenagers lying on mattresses await their turn for surgery, the youngest, aged 15, tells us that her 42 years old partner got her pregnant and lives with him, despite not liking it, because her mother could not bear her and other eight siblings. A few meters away some doctors lament the death of a woman who, due to the lack of an anesthetist, was administered too much anesthesia during childbirth the day before.
Pregnant girls are weak and in poor health, they scream and feel great pain, try to console each other, crying, and their weeping blends with the back sector, where there are 25 babies born with complications, a figure constantly renewing almost daily because of deaths, transfers and few discharges. The doctor comes out of surgery, and a mother must be admitted in intensive care, but all the hospital beds are designed for patients with injuries, so that mother and all of the country must be very lucky and hope that one of the few available ambulances take her to the National Hospital to save her life.
The crisis in the Paraguayan health system, for more than half a century, is one of the main concerns of the sectors that seek social justice, and after the country suffered a historical lack of commitment to the public health system from of their rulers, when the current government took the decision to free the health service on last December, sabotage and lack of commitment by the executors of this measure made it obsolete: many doctors continue to charge, now illegally, for their services; the structural arrangement of the hospital continues to point to services that represent higher incomes to the institutions, turning their backs to the most critical situations. The hospital directors could not organize their hospitals in a way that meets the needs of patients, even if they wanted to.
Some hospitals lack staff, others space, in all of them the consumables are of poor quality, and that's where it is essential the fi gure of the doctor who gives more than anybody would be asked for, and attempts to curb health catastrophe in which the region is living. They are the first to highlight the need to constantly be prevented, be educated in schools and hospitals on sexual and reproductive health.
The fact in terms of health policy concerns, is that Senator Carlos Filizzola has submitted a bill which seeks to end the lack of legal basis for the care and treatment of mothers and children in Paraguay, but that project wasn't accepted and no other was written in it's place by those who were opposed, due to a counter-information campaign of the corrupt Paraguayan media, who handled the political situation and the mass ideas by diverting the issue of maternal and child health and alleging that the law was to legalize abortion and other issues related to gay rights, issues which themselves are treated but not to promote, to be respected, as well as promoting sexual and reproductive education and mobilize the health system, making available, to mothers and children, more and better services for labor and birth, which is urgent and imperative to make maternity wards cease looking very much like a butchery.
As in the rest of the hospitals, the Paraguayan Red Cross lacks social workers, so doctors and nurses often take over the emotional state of the girls, and although they often do not have the necessary resources to handle extreme situations, they give the best of themselves to support their patients.
A girl cries begging because she doesn't want her child to born, she asked me to take her out of there, "let's go" she insisted, "get me out of here, come on…". It is one of over 10 teenagers to give birth every day in the PRC. These girls face an undesirable situation; many are victims of sexual abuse and others of the lack of sex education and reproductive health. They moan and cry out the anguish held for nine months, they were excluded from society, whatever their life was until then, it dies there, although they are not buried.

I got seomozpro so I could see a full list of backlinks for various websites. Not the top 25 most important etc, as I have different ideas on which are the most important.
Is this possible?
It all depends on what do you mean for "most important".
What I suggest you is to not limit the examination of the backlinks into OSE (I imagine you are using it for competitive analysis), but to export the raw datas in .csv format and then start using some Excel magic, in order to analyse the backlinks the way you consider the most suitable to your needs.

I absolutely love it when it rains. Not the type of rain where it's just a bit drizzly and you don't even need an umbrella, but the type of rain that's just pourin' from the heavens, y' know what I mean?
I find that type of weather romantic instead of dreary. Ü

Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
I went right home and I went to bed
I stuck that lovin' 44 beneath my head
Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun
Took a shot of cocaine and away I run
Made a good run but I run too slow
They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico
Late in the hot joints takin' the pill
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said, "Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown
You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down"
Said, "Yes, oh yes, my name is Willy Lee
If you've got a warrant just read it to me
Shot her down because she made me slow
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more"
In about five minutes in walked a man
Holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read in the first degree
I hollered, "Lordy, Lordy have mercy on me"
The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen
99 years in the Folsom pen
99 years underneath that ground
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down
Come on you gotta' listen to unto me
Lay off that whiskey, let that cocaine be

Service - Learning
What is service-learning?
Service-learning is a teaching and learning strategy, or pedagogy, that integrates meaningful community service into an academic course with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, instill a sense of civic responsibility, and strengthen communities.
How is service-learning different from volunteerism?
The primary goal of a service-learning project is for the student to gain skills relevant to his or her chosen field of study while illustrating the role those skills can play in strengthening their communities. Service-learning does this by actively engaging a student at all stages of the service-learning project. Students are often responsible for selecting their own projects and community organizations, and are continuously reflecting on the experience through online discussions, journals, class presentations and papers about their projects. Service-learning is a reciprocal process that benefits a community agency and benefits the learning of the student.
Volunteers give their time and talents to help community agencies, schools, and other entities fulfill their mission in the community. Volunteers are extremely valuable. Often, though, their service is addressing symptoms of a root problem (ex. graffiti wipeout) and they might have little or no knowledge of the mission of the institutions they serve. Volunteers generally are not engaged in reflection or academic learning.
Why should UTSA faculty incorporate service-learning into their curriculum?
- Students gain first-hand experience with economic, social, cultural, and political contexts and factors that give light to concepts addressed in course work.
- Service-learning provides greater depth of understanding by connecting course work to the issues and concerns in the community.
- Students have opportunities to learn from community leaders and practitioners.
- Students can contribute to the mission and/or purpose of an organization through service.
- Students are exposed to how the non-profit, government or educational sector functions.
Why should students participate in service-learning courses?
Students in service learning classes report higher gains in academic skills, life skills, and civic development than students who do not participate in service-learning. Additionally, students report that service learning helps to clarify career goals, contributes to stronger relationships with peers and faculty, and results in a more satisfying learning experience.

In 1973, Barbra Streisand went into the studio to make one of the first – and still considered one of the best – classical crossover recordings, CLASSICAL BARBRA. This unique collection of art songs and arias was originally released in February 1976, with its striking cover portrait by Francesco Scavullo, and has never gone out of print. The German composer and arranger Claus Ogerman conducts the Columbia Symphony Orchestra and accompanies Streisand at the piano in music of Canteloube, Fauré, Handel, Orff, Schumann and Wolf.
Thirteen-time Grammy –winning producer Steven Epstein has remastered the original recording for this reissue, the first since its original CD release in 1987. Most importantly, it contains the first ever release of two additional tracks recorded during the original sessions but never available until now – two of Franz Schubert's best-known songs, "An Sylvia" and "Auf dem Wasser zu singen." Click HERE to pre-order.
"Beau Soir" - Debussy
"Brezairola" (Berceuse) from Chants d'Auvergne (Part III) - Canteloube
"Verschwiegene Liebe" (No.3) from Eichendorff Lieder - Wolf
Pavane in F Sharp Minor, Op. 50 (Vocalise) – Faure
"Aprés un rêve" from Trois melodies, Op. 7, No. 1 – Fauré
"In trutina" from Carmina Burana – Orff
"Lascia ch'io pianga" from Rinaldo – Handel
"Mondnact" from Liederkreis, Op. 39, No. 5 – Schumann
"Dank sei Dir, Herr" – Ochs

Be forewarned that there is actually another hotel in Turkey called Argos, but it's on the Mediterranean side. I really enjoyed our stay there, and I would definitely go back just to experience it in much warmer weather. Like many of the hotels in the Cappadoccia region, Argos is built into rock and incorporates stone into the architecture of the room.

Sermons about Waiting
Order By:
Recent | Downloads | Amens
Resolve to Wait
No body likes waiting. Lines. Doctor's offices. Traffic. Waiting just seems to be against our nature. Yet, the promise of Jesus' second coming requires waiting. Jesus taught us that we would have to wait for his coming Kingdom. Listen as pastor Brian Curtis explains to us the parable of the ten virgins and challenges us to be busy waiting for Christ to come again.
While I'm Waiting
One does not have to be told that we live in a fast-paced world that does not like to wait. Some might view the parable from Jesus telling us that we should wait and be patient as a bad thing, however we're told to be patient as God is patient with us.
What Are You Waiting For? Christ's Return
The future of Christians is certain and sealed. We who are made alive through Jesus will overcome pain, suffering and death. We will see today that Jesus will return for His people someday.
Losing Jesus
Nearly all of us have lost – or will lose – Jesus at least once on our Christian journey. Suddenly there is a moment when we realize that we've lost sight of him – he was there just a minute ago – but we got busy going off on our own way, not looking up often enough to keep him in sight, and the next thing we know, we aren't walking with him anymore. We lose fellowship with him because he's somewhere else, doing something else – his "Father's business" – and there we are, doing our own thing, on our own, in our own energy.
What Are You Waiting For? God's Anointed One
Today's lesson will reveal that God waited until the "fullness of time had come" (c.f. Galatians 4:4) to send the second person of the Trinity who became Jesus to redeem man of wickedness and sin. Jesus was God "incarnate."
Lessons on Waiting and Resting
Isaac learned from his father, Abraham, that it was necessary and good to wait upon the Lord and rest in him. Isaac was able and obligated to do this because God provides for his children all they need for life and godliness. Such waiting and resting was and still is energized by knowing particular truths connected to such waiting and resting. While God's covenant blessing is a sure and certain reality for God's people, there are particular blessings joined to it that can disappear only to reappear. Still, in the midst of the changing presence of some blessings, God's presence through his word endures with his redeemed covenant people, and with God is the power to live obediently to him. Such power for obedience is what enables God's redeemed children to deal with God's enemies that are not only outside God's covenant community, but also inside it. In learning these lessons we are enabled to wait upon the Lord and rest in him.
What Are You Waiting For? A King
Today's lesson will show how God's people wanted a king. After the time of the kings, Israel was always looking for someone who would be anointed by God to be an even greater king than King David. We know this idea as the awaited "Messiah."
The Announcement of Jesus' Arrival
Today's message will focus on how we ought to process the message of Jesus' birth. We will consider how Mary responded to the message of Jesus' arrival, and draw out how we should properly respond to this incredible news as well.
What are you waiting for?
Maybe it was our 15th year, or our 47th year, or your 93rd year; when FDR or Eisenhower or Reagan or Clinton was president; when Brown or Brown or Brown again was governor, but some of us remember when the Word of God came into our wilderness. Some of us are still there waiting.

Meal Makeover: Skinny Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Happy Monday! I have something that will brighten up your Monday morning.
Oh hey there sexy little whole wheat cinnamon roll. How you doin?
These bad boys staring before you are not your average Cinnabon. No, no. These deliciously soft, ooey, gooey masterpieces are ones that you can enjoy WITHOUT guilt. Or a 15 mile treadmill session. Or having to unbutton your pants in public. No, no friends. This cinnamon roll is one you can ENJOY without ANY regret!
I was saying that last paragraph in my "TV infomercial voice" in case you were curious. I was startled awake at 4am in the worst circumstances…a sick dog. Ew. So, I apologize if I'm more wacky than usual. At least I made you these, that makes up for something, right?
I took every ounce of restraint not to eat these, one after another, despite an uncomfortably full stomach. They are incredible. Plus, with less than 270 calories a pop (which is close to 350 less than a standard roll), you aren't completely derailing your diet. [After a weekend soaked in margaritas, this is nice]. They are made with whole wheat flour, a bit of butter and skim milk!
I know, I can hardly contain the excitement either. These were my first attempt at cinnamon rolls and I'm SO happy with how they turned out. So take that, Cinnabon! I'll be running you outta business in no time! [I say as I twist a pretend villain mustache, cackling at the sky].
Recipe adapted from My Recipes.
Skinny Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls
Yields about 14 rolls
Prep time: 1 hour
Cook time: 22 minutes
Total time: 3 1/2 hours
- 1 cup fat free milk, warmed (100 – 110 degrees F)
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup white sugar + 1 tablespoon
- 1 package active dry, quick rising yeast
- 2 3/4 – 3 cups whole wheat flour
- Dash of salt
- 1 organic egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice (can use regular cinnamon if you want)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
- 2 tablespoons light cream
- About 1 cup powdered sugar
Directions :
- Mix milk, yeast, butter (2 tablespoons) and 1 tablespoon sugar in a large mixing bowl and let sit about 5 minutes, or until mixture is frothy. Stir in egg, remaining sugar and 1 cup flour and mix. Let sit another 10 minutes.
- Add in flour, 1/2 cup at a time and salt until mixture resembles a sticky dough (you may not use all the flour). Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 4 – 6 minutes, or until dough is elastic. If still sticky, knead in remaining flour. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray and cover it. Let rise in a warm place (at least 85 degrees F) until doubled in size, may take up to 1 hour.
- Once dough has risen, punch it down, re-cover and let rise an additional 35 – 45 minutes, or until doubled in size again. Punch down again and let rest 5 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 9 x 18 rectangle. Gently brush remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter all over the dough. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Sprinkle the melted butter with brown sugar/pumpkin pie spice mixture. Then carefully roll up one end to the other, pressing the sides down with your fingers.
- Using a sharp, un-serrated knife, cut the dough vertically into 14 pieces. Place pieces cut side down in 2 greased baking dishes (I used a 9 x 18 and an 8 x 8 circle), cover and let rise another 35 – 40 minutes, or until doubled in size. (I let rise about an hour).
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake rolls for 18 – 22 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from pans and let chill on a wire cooling rack.
- While rolls cool, prepare frosting by whisking butter and cream together. Add in vanilla. Then gradually add powdered sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, until mixture is a little thick but still runny. Drizzle roll with frosting (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each) while still warm and serve.
Y'all, these are UNGODLY good. I just ate one and I'm still licking my fingers.

Monday, May 7th, 2012 Waaaaa??? 265 calories? That's amazing, I think Cinnabon is around 1200.
And is it just me, or does that first picture look a little like Flea from The Chili Peppers? -
Monday, May 7th, 2012 another amazing looking recipe - will have to try making this with gluten free flour. Sounds like the perfect Sunday morning yummy :)
Monday, May 7th, 2012 The look totally great, definitely going to try them!
Monday, May 7th, 2012 can you use lactose milk or soy milk for this recipe
Monday, May 7th, 2012 Hey Brenda,
I'm not 100% sure because soy milk cooks very differently than regular milk. I'd definitely look it up to make sure they work! -
Monday, May 7th, 2012 I made these today with almond milk (I'm allergic to cow's milk), and margarine, and they turned out great! I can't speak to the icing, because I just made the rolls and topped with pre-made icing, but the roll part definitely worked with those substitutions.
Tuesday, May 8th, 2012 That's awesome Elizabeth!! I'm so happy to hear that!!
Monday, May 7th, 2012 Ok, I am drooling like crazy. I will be over tomorrow morning, please have 2 with extra icing ready for me :)
Monday, May 7th, 2012 Sexy cinnamon roll indeed! This is fantastic!
Monday, May 7th, 2012 These look so amazing. I have been drooling ever since seeing these come together on Instagram. I want!!!
Monday, May 7th, 2012 WOW! My mouth is watering. These buns look amazing :-)
Monday, May 7th, 2012 Guiltless cinnamon rolls? You are a genius!
Tuesday, May 8th, 2012 these sound great + i love that they have some whole wheat in there to healthify 'em. yum!
Tuesday, May 8th, 2012 Oh my word!!! Claire, I NEED THESE NOW! Do you deliver?? ;-) I'm definitely making these asap!
Tuesday, May 8th, 2012 yum, this look delicious!! I just bought a whole bunch of whole wheat flour, and I don't think that there is a better way to utilize it, I am drooling right now.
Tuesday, May 8th, 2012 I love you for making these! I love cinnamon rolls, but never make them because they are so fattening. I love this lightened up recipe!
Tuesday, May 8th, 2012 I am definitely down for a guilt-free cinnamon roll. These look fantastic!
Wednesday, May 9th, 2012 These are my kind of cinnamon rolls!!! Beautifully done, Claire!!!
Sunday, May 20th, 2012 I still think there´s a lot of sugar in it. 1 3/4 cup for 2 2/4 - 3 cups flour????? Must be terribly sweet anyway.
Tuesday, July 24th, 2012 Use a sugar substitute if that's a problem or sub in a little honey.
Thursday, July 19th, 2012 Do you think these could possibly be frozen? These would be perfect for an occasional quick and lazy day breakfast!
Tuesday, July 24th, 2012 I'm not sure if they could be frozen! I'd have to try!
Friday, July 20th, 2012 Cook time is NOT 15 minutes. It's more like an hour when you factor in having to let the dough rise. It would have been awesome to know this before I started.
Friday, July 20th, 2012 And by cook time, I mean prep time!
Tuesday, July 24th, 2012 Hi, These look amazing , going to make these today. was wondering if I couuld substitute the sugar for honey. thanks
Tuesday, July 24th, 2012 I wouldn't substitute all of the sugar for honey, but maybe some of it? I worry the consistency and texture could get weird with that much liquid.

Anti-American protests don't slow business
Thomas Russell -- Furniture Today, October 1, 2012
SURABAYA, Indonesia - Recent anti-American protests by Muslim groups here and in other areas on the island of Java haven't alarmed U.S. furniture importers or their manufacturing partners on the island.
The protests, like others in Muslim countries around the globe, are in response to an anti-Muslim movie produced in the U.S. Indonesia is believed to have the world's largest Muslim population.
Protests at the embassy in Jakarta turned violent the week of Sept. 17, with people reportedly throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails, injuring police officers.
In response, the U.S. temporarily closed its embassy in Jakarta and consulate offices in Surabaya, Medan and Bali.
For the most part, however, observers say the protests have been much more peaceful than demonstrations in places like Pakistan, where 17 deaths were reported.
Susilo Alexander Hadinoto, a director at Jakarta area-based case goods producer Ligna Furniture, said the demonstrations he has seen on TV appear smaller than others around the world.
"There are a couple of demonstrations against the U.S around the country, but I think it is still in a smaller scale compared with the Middle East," he said. "We have some Muslim radicals here, but those people are not the ones demonstrating on the street. In general, I must say it is still very safe here on the ground like any other day."
Gene Clark, president of Ligna's U.S. marketing arm Ligna USA, said that while he doesn't plan to return to Indonesia until later this year, he trusts his highly educated plant management to alert him of safety issues. He said he has heard no concerns from them.
"It is always that one or two percent that get attention and I think the same applies in Indonesia," said Clark. "Most Muslims over there are not radical Muslims, but in any group, you can incite a few of them to riot. That is the issue we have to deal with now."
Kent Grotkjaer, operations manager of Furniture Brands Internationals' plant in Semarang, said there was a small demonstration in the middle of town after a recent Friday prayer. However, he said there was no cause for alarm.
"I happened to drive just past it, all was peaceful and there was a lot of police around to make sure nothing would get out of hand," he said. "So altogether I do not feel we have any safety issues here in the area."
Executives at Hooker Furniture also said they have not heard of any issues that would prevent them from having employees on the ground. "We have not changed our normal procedures," said Paul Toms, chairman and CEO of Hooker, which sources further east in Surabaya.

By Matthew Bennett, Associate Editor
Posted on September 30, 2011 AT 06:33am
Posted on September 30, 2011 AT 06:33am
THE BUZZ: From Software has revealed a few details regarding the upcoming version 1.03 patch for the Japanese version of Dark Souls.
The patch will fix two major bugs that occurred after the 1.02 update, the first was that NPCs were disappearing and the second was the game hanging when trying to look at trophies. Patch 1.03 will be out at some point today in Japan.
EGM's TAKE: From Software is working hard to stamp out the games few bugs as quickly as possible. We're thankful for that, since Dark Souls is hard enough as it is.
Will you be purchasing Dark Souls?
