BUENOS AIRES—After Shen Yun Performing Arts International Company gave its second performance on Saturday night, it left audience members wanting more.
Maria Del Valle Guerra, a television reporter who saw the performance at the Teatro Ópera Citi, lauded Shen Yun's depiction of cultures throughout China.
"It has many scenes with folk dances from northern and southern China," she said. According to the company's website, there are some 55 officially recognized ethnic minorities in China—some of which are depicted during Shen Yun, including Tibetan and Mongolian dances.
The performance, which Ms. Guerra described as excellent and great, is able to cover "the whole country" in its depictions of China's various ethnicities, she said.
In order to include such dances, Shen Yun's performers have to train in classical Chinese dance, a complete style that has a history of thousands of years, according to its website. The dance is able to "bring out the inner meaning of intrinsic thoughts and feelings, reflecting the peculiarities of human nature, the standard for human conduct, moral concepts, mental state, [and] one's value system," it says.
And each dance goes in tandem with an innovative orchestra that joins together Western orchestra fundamentals and Chinese instrumentation.
While watching the performance—which mainly features stories and legends passed down from ancient China—Ms. Guerra said she felt "inner peace."
The performance "makes you reflect [on yourself] and lifts you up—all the time you are elevating," she said. "There are scenes where you really breathe … tranquility," she added.
Ms. Guerra also noted the degree of difficulty in performing classical Chinese dance, which according to Shen Yun's website, entails difficult jumping and tumbling moves.
"The dances reflect their [way] in life … transmitting peace and harmony," she said.
With reporting by Natalia Rodriguez and Jack Phillips.
New York-based Shen Yun has three companies that tour the world each year on a mission to revive 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture.

Kim and Fred Kagan have a typically trenchant op-ed in the Washington Post today on the minimal force requirements necessary for post-2014 Afghanistan. Bottom line up front: They argue a force of at least 30,000 personnel will be needed for a bare-bones counterterrorism and advisory mission.
They begin by assuming that the U.S. will need three major bases outside Kabul–in Jalalabad, Khost, and Kandahar. Each base will require a battalion of ground troops, primarily for protection, and a battalion of combat-aviation to enable drone strikes and operations by Special Mission Units. That adds up to two brigades, or 10,000 troops. Add in 5,000 or so logisticians to keep those bases supplied and you're up to 15,000. To prevent the areas around those bases from going to hell, it will also be necessary to send some advisors to the local Afghan army and police headquarters. That adds another 6,000 or so personnel. If you add in "the security forces for a base near Kabul, a theater headquarters, route-clearance packages, theater logisticians and other ancillary units," you are pushing "the requirement above 30,000."
That is not a grandiose objective; it is a bare minimum. As the Kagans write: "At that level U.S. forces in Afghanistan could do nothing beyond the minimum necessary to allow us to continue counterterrorism operations in South Asia: no nation-building, no effort to affect the Afghan political process or help the Afghans secure presidential elections in 2014, no development assistance; only defensive operations against the Taliban and other insurgent groups from three bases."
Their math adds up. It is indeed similar to my own calculation that 25,000 to 35,000 troops would be needed–a figure echoed by other serious security analysts. So it is with some alarm that I read reports that the administration may have settled on keeping only 10,000 troops. Such a force would have trouble doing much beyond keeping itself supplied and secure; it would be hard-put to have much of an impact against the major terrorist networks that call Afghanistan and Pakistan home. If such a decision has indeed been made, it is hard to see how it can be justified on the merits: the Kagans' calculations are hard to dispute. But sound as the Kagans' strategic thinking may be, it does not accord with what passes for political wisdom in the White House, where war-weary politicos are eager to draw as many troops out as quickly as possible, without fully thinking through the consequences of their actions.
One consequence they should consider is that, given how little a force of 10,000 could contribute to the long-term security of the government of Afghanistan, it is by no means a sure thing that Hamid Karzai will make the necessary concessions, in particular granting U.S. troops complete immunity from Afghan prosecution, that are necessary to conclude a Status of Forces Agreement. We could in fact be heading for an Iraq Redux disaster, wherein the Obama administration squanders the goodwill of our local ally by not making a real commitment to its future, thereby torpedoing diplomatic negotiations on a long-term U.S. presence. If that were to happen in Afghanistan, it would be an even bigger disaster than in Iraq because Afghanistan remains our best–indeed virtually our only base–to strike into the heart of terror in Pakistan, as SEAL Team Six did with its raid on Osama bin Laden.

It came after details emerged of occupancy rates in some centres of below 50% at a time when drug deaths are rising.
It has been reported that Beechwood House in Inverness has only 40% occupancy while Phoenix Futures in Glasgow is only half full. Drugs charity the Scottish Recovery Consortium wants a summit to try to find out why the rates are so low.
The head of Stirling University's Scottish Addiction Studies group Rowdy Yates told BBC TV's Sunday Politics that the residential sector was on the wane.
Dr Richard Watson, of the Royal College of General Practitioners, stated his opposition to residential rehabilitation and gave his backing to methadone treatment, despite its being linked to 47% of Scottish drug deaths in official statistics for 2011 published in August.
He said: "Methadone decreases the death rate in those who are prescribed it at least five or six fold, it decreases illegal drug use, it decreases crime."
The Scottish Government is reviewing its methadone scheme and MSPs will debate drugs strategy this week.

St. Francis RED 2006
Other Red Blends from Sonoma County, California
Winemaker's Notes
A succulent blend of 48% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah, 3% Zinfandel and 6% Mixed Blacks (Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Alicante, Malbec), RED is lush with succulent ripe red fruit flavors and spicy aromas. Full-bodied and versatile, RED pairs with a variety of foods for any occasion.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Refined and easy to drink, with red currant and toasty dill aromas and sleek cherry, bittersweet chocolate and spice flavors. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Zinfandel. Drink now through 2012. 60,000 cases made."
St. Francis Winery
For more than four decades, the wines of St. Francis Winery & Vineyards have reflected the finest mountain and valley vineyards in Sonoma County. Our founder, Joe Martin, fell in love with Sonoma Valley and established St. Francis Vineyard in 1971, planting 22 acres of Chardonnay and the first 60 acres of Merlot in Sonoma Valley. After achieving great success as a grower, Joe opened his own winery in 1979 with his business partner Lloyd Canton.
Today, a new generation of winemakers, Katie Madigan and Chris Louton, continues our long tradition of luscious, elegant, fruit-driven wines from Sonoma County grapes. We farm more than 400 acres of Certified Sustainable estate vineyards in Sonoma Valley and Russian River Valley, each with varying compositions of loam, clay and volcanic soils. We also nurture long-term relationships with top Sonoma County grape growers, giving the Winery access to some of the region's most coveted old vines Zinfandel and other varietals from acclaimed vineyards.

About Sonoma CountyView a map of Sonoma County wineriesRelated Links:
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the Joneses, or Napa-ites if you will. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable FactsThe largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Nice fulled bodied red ... I'd buy again.53/17/2011I figured for the price I couldn't go wrong and I loved the label - but I have to say this wine is really darn good - full of big, rich flavor!Charlene - Citrus Heights, CA512/17/2010awesome everyday drinking wine. Smooth and velvety. Was very surprised how good it was considering the price!Napa Native - Napa, CA510/28/2009I don't know about you but I am always looking for a nice full bodied red wine I can enjoy when I get home from work but I don't want break the bank. This is it folks, best value I have found in a long, long time and it is from Sonoma County, not some south american country. Something that is also fun about this wine, they have 12 different labels. The red splashes on the label are diffierent - 12 in all. I have been saving my bottles but have yet to get all 12 different ones. Going to keep buying/trying until I collect them all.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

That is my New Year's Resolution in a word: Simplify.
Why just one word? Because it's simple! ;) but truly it is because it is easy to focus on and apply to all situations. I struggle with trying to overdo things in my life. I do too much and give more than I can often. I love to give and want things to be perfect and special all the time. But, simplicity makes things special in a sweeter way. So, that's why I haven't been blogging lately. I'm simplifying.
I'm focusing on doing all that I can to get a sweet little smile from my baby girl and snuggle her when she needs me. I'm focusing on the joy and romance a date night can give my husband and I. I'm doing my best to be healthier, inside and out. I'm cleaning out the anger, annoyance and frustration, as often as I can. I'm trying to see the good and not the bad. Stress is the opposite of simplicity, this year.
I'm simplifying my job by focusing on people instead of tasks. People are my business and good relationships bring good business. I recently went to an intensive training class for work that changed my training and interactive outlook almost completely. I came back re-energized and put on a successful two day training of my own. I feel motivated and centered there, which is a contrast to recent months that were overwhelming, emotional and sometimes exhausting whirlwinds.
Someday I will update our blog and tell you about the wonderful holidays we had with family and friends, but not today. Tonight I'm going to squeeze my baby girl that just woke up from her nap and watch a movie with my man.
Happy New Year!

With Omar Gonzalez likely absent, Leonardo targeting return to action against New England Revolution
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy's 2014 regular season campaign is complete with several players who are enduring stop start seasons, and one of the names on that list is Brazilian center back Leonardo.
The 26-year-old Brazilian has been much maligned among Galaxy fans for his inconsistent play throughout the campaign, which has seen him make nine starts across 11 appearances. A start at the beginning of the year alongside Omar Gonzalez, Leonardo has not started since early June as Tommy Meyer has begun to cement his place along the back four.
However, Leonardo may be given a lifeline back into the starting XI on Wednesday with the Galaxy's match against the New England Revolution which will be the team's second match in a two week; five game swing.
"I think it'd be good for the group to rotate players. We want to have a full squad so that we can change if we need to. You don't want players who are not playing over a long period and you want them to fight for an opportunity," said Leonardo. "I feel good and Bruce [Arena] has told me that when I have an opportunity that I need to take it. I think that this will be my time to take the opportunity and show what I can do."
It's been a busy week for Omar Gonzalez.
Fresh off an impressive showing at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, the LA Galaxy and U.S. Men's National Team defender bared it all for ESPN the Magazine, killed it on Conan and is now playing the role of Cameron in Kick TV's Mike Magee's Day Off.
The short film, which stars a who's who of North American soccer, including a perfect cameo by Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena, spoofs the classic 80's film Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Former Galaxy forward Mike Magee stars in the Ferris Bueller role and a majority of the film was shot at StubHub Center.
Do you think Omar has a career in acting? Or should he stick to defending?
CARSON, Calif. -- In the latest edition of LAGalaxy.com's By the Numbers' we look at the LA Galaxy's match with the New England Revolution.
Check it out below.
The 2014 FIFA World Cup is over, but before we turn the page to the tournament in Russia in four years, take a gander at this stunning animation by Richard Swarbrick.
The short film by the British artist and filmmaker recaps the entire month-long tournament in less than two minutes and is a must see.

While the rhinoceros's greatest enemy is the poacher hunting for horn, the beast faces subtler dangers in the shape of ecotourists. Two researchers from the University of California, Davis, have shown that tourists may be unwittingly breeding tameness into the animals, by scaring off the shyer ones from their foraging grounds.
Dale Lott and Michael McCoy studied the effect of tourism on the behaviour of Asian rhinos in Nepal's Chitwan National Park. Although these particular rhinos are seldom poached, the researchers wondered if the attentions of tourists caused them stress.
Tourists in Chitwan watch rhinos from the backs of elephants. The drivers often crowd their elephants around rhinos to give their charges a better look. 'You're left to wonder what in the world is going on with that rhino,' said Lott at a meeting of the International Society for Anthrozoology last week.
Lott and McCoy enlisted the help of volunteers. ...

Struggling to Sell Sponsorship? Stop Blaming the Economy!
I've just come off the back of a set of workshops where a number of sponsorship seekers were complaining about the lack of sponsorship available in the marketplace. Opinion seemed to be split between whether that was because sponsorship hasn't recovered since the Global Financial Crisis eight years ago, or whether it's because sponsors are only interested in "big sport". While I understand the desire to want to find a scapegoat, neither of these is in any way true. If you're struggling to sell sponsorship, you need to stop blaming the economy and stop blaming sponsors for your lack of success. Sponsors are investing a lot of money in sponsorship of all kinds, they're just […] Read More

I did a very casual and unscientific review of gun sales in my local area. Gun-store operators told me that about 30 to 40% of the guns they sell for personal defense are revolvers, and the vast majority of these are small-frame pocket-type guns. If you carry a revolver for personal defense, you need to know some of the lessons we have learned in law enforcement over the years.
Law enforcement officers learned a lot about carrying revolvers before we switched en masse to semi-automatics in the 1980s. One of the first "secrets" we learned was that revolvers didn't carry much ammunition. You may have noticed that yourself. I remember hearing officers say things like, "If you need more than six rounds, you are in big trouble." That seemed fairly obvious, but I still wanted more ammunition.
Extra Ammunition Carry Methods
We had five basic ways to carry reloads or additional ammunition:
1. Loose cartridges in a pocket.
2. Cartridges in a dump pouch.
3. Speed strips that hold the ammunition in a straight line.
4. Speed loaders.
5. Moon clips.
These are still the primary ways to carry extra ammunition for a revolver. Most wheelgun shooters prefer speed loaders, and for good reason. Speed strips are also a good viable option for personal defense.
Having loose cartridges in a pocket is better than having no extra ammunition at all. The problem is that, when you pull out the cartridges, anything else in your pocket will be pulled out and mixed in with them. You will have to pick out and position the cartridges for reloading. This may be acceptable at the range, but is time consuming in a gunfight.
The dump pouch is a step up. It fits on a belt and holds the cartridges in a small pouch. It is easier to get to than rounds in your pocket, but the reloading process is still time-consuming. Think of it as a magazine pouch that you carry on your belt.
Speed strips hold the cartridges in a line together. The rounds are all oriented in the same direction. You shove two rounds off the strip into the cylinder at the same time. You repeat this until the gun is loaded. The speed strips also lie flat so they are easy to carry and conceal in a pocket, shirt, vest or box.
Speed loaders seemed like a technical revolution when they were first released. They are designed to fit specific revolvers. They hold the cartridges in the correct position to line up with the cylinder. Once the cartridges are started in the cylinder, the rounds are released through several different methods into the cylinder.
Moon clips are an example of the old becoming new again. Moon clips were originally used for .45-caliber military revolvers in the early 20th century. The thin metal clips are shaped like a half or full moon and hold cartridges in place to be dropped into the cylinder. The difference between a moon clip and a speed loader is that the moon clip is designed to be dropped into the cylinder and hold the cartridges in place while the gun is being fired.
Moon clips are an exceptionally fast method to reload. They also make unloading easier because all the cartridges are kicked out at once together. This eliminates the common problem of an empty case or two being difficult to remove while unloading.
Moon clips have one potentially fatal flaw. Being made of thin metal, they can bend easily. And once bent, they can make the revolver difficult or impossible to close up. Revolvers must also be designed specifically to use moon clips, and the majority of revolvers on the market are not.
Right about now, some of you may be asking, "Why do I need reloads? Statistics prove most gunfights involve less than six rounds."
The classic book Street Survival: Tactics for Armed Encounters answers this question very well. It was originally written for law enforcement officers but applies to legally armed citizens as well.
"Based on statistics, it would seem that reloading is not an important part of gunfights. The average confrontation is over before either side fires even as many as three rounds, and only about four per cent of officers in shoot outs ever find it necessary to reload under fire; the closer the encounter, the less the chance that reloading will become a factor. For gamblers, these odds might be reassuring. But part of conditioning yourself for survival is learning to cope with the exceptional as well as the commonplace.".
Reloading Techniques
Let's start with loading an empty revolver. Always visually and physically check the gun to ensure it is empty. Always keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire. Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
Right-Handed Reload
Step: 1 Grip the gun with your right hand in a two-handed grip.
Step: 2 Activate the cylinder release with your right thumb and keep it activated. The method will differ depending on the manufacturer.
Step: 3 Slide your left hand under the gun and away from the barrel. Use the ring and middle fingers of your left hand to push the cylinder open.
Step: 4 Continue to push your middle and ring fingers through the open gap under the top strap toward the cylinder. The gun should settle in the palm of your left hand. Position your left index finger over the barrel. Place your pinkie over the hammer or at the rear of a hammerless gun. Put your left thumb on top of the ejector rod.
Step: 5 Tilt the revolver down so that gravity holds the cartridges toward the cylinder. Get in the habit of keeping the gun up in your vision toward any potential targets. Line up the cartridges in the speed loader with the holes where the cartridges are seated. Insert and activate the speed loader. Different manufacturers have different release mechanisms. Practice using dummy ammunition or snap caps with the type that you carry.
Step: 6 Transfer the revolver to your right-hand grip. Remove your middle and ring fingers and close the cylinder with your left thumb.
Step: 7 Use your left-hand index finger and thumb to slightly rotate the cylinder and ensure the cylinder is locked in place.
Unloading the Revolver
The first four steps of unloading a revolver are the same used in loading the revolver.
Step: 1 Grip the gun with your right hand in a two-handed grip.
Step: 2 Activate the cylinder release with your right thumb and keep it activated. The method will differ depending on the manufacturer.
Step: 3 Slide your left hand under the gun and away from the barrel. Use the ring and middle fingers of your left hand to push the cylinder open.
Step: 4 Continue to push your middle and ring fingers through the open gap under the top strap toward the cylinder. The gun should settle in the palm of your left hand. Position your left index finger over the barrel. Place your pinkie over the hammer or at the rear of a hammerless gun. Put your left thumb on top of the ejector rod.
Step: 5 Tilt the revolver with the barrel pointed up. Use the palm of your right hand and push the ejector rod down rapidly. At the same time, use a slight downward motion to assist gravity in removing the fired cartridges. Visually confirm that all cases have been removed. Repeat this step if any cases are still in the cylinder. Occasionally a case will become form-fired to the cylinder and difficult to remove. If that happens, use your right hand to pick out the case.
Keep the gun high in your field of vision so that you can keep an eye on any potential targets while you are reloading. Reload the revolver using the steps listed above.
Types of Reloading Situations
An emergency reload is loading the gun when all ammunition has been expended and you are still in a dynamic critical situation.
A tactical reload is used at a time of your choosing during a dynamic critical situation. This occurs if there is a lull in the action or a tactical "pause." It may also occur when things seem to be winding down but you want to have a full ammunition load in case the situation fires up again. Ideally you reload when you want to reload, not when you need to reload. You want to use cover and concealment to your benefit in any tactical situation, so use them when reloading as well.
Techniques are available for left-handed reloading, reloading while wounded in the dominant arm, and keeping the gun in your strong hand while reloading. Space limitations prevent a full discussion of them. What I have presented is the best and most proven method for reloading a revolver. It is a good way, but not the only way. Choose what works safely and best for you and your abilities.
Safely practice these techniques with dummy ammunition. Find out what works for you and the equipment you carry. Be prepared for the exceptional as well as the commonplace.

I just joined PDN and this type of article is exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks, I feel I will learn a lot and really improve my home defense skills from visiting this site. Thanks PDN.
Very well explained and easy to understand .
thank you for a lodgical step by step opperation of reloading.
Most all good comments and observations about how to use the round gun. My only concern is switching hands for reloading. I don't know why, but I've always kept it in my shooting (right) hand, and released the latch with right thumb. Then draw speedloader with left hand, tip arm up, push extractor rod with left hand, and tip arm down and reload with loader with left hand.
Don't know if I'm wrong on this, but it seems that maintaining one's grip on the weapon is preferable to the method pictured?
I carried a S&W model 19 when I first got in law enforcement and sometimes carry my 3″ S&W 686…I still love a wheel gun!!
We recently had to qualify with our duty guns and anything else we are going to carry on or off duty. I whipped out the wheel gun as one of my off duty carry guns.
I can still shoot the revolver better than my semi-auto and reload faster than the guns on the range using a magazine.
Speed loaders are the way to go for carrying extra ammo for sure, but if speed loaders are not in your arsenal here are a few ways to carry some extra revolver ammo.
1. Watch pocket: if you are wearing jeans most jeans still have watch pockets. I can put 6 extra rounds in the watch pocket. For right hand shooters it is in the right spot.
2. Speed strips: A totally enclosed cell phone case is a good choice for a couple speed strips.
3. Pocket: I have been know to carry a few loose rounds in my back pocket vs. my front pocket. For me my right back pocket is the best. We typically don't carry anything in our back pockets and the billfold can go on the opposite side.

With the Thanksgiving holiday looming like a 10-story mutant turkey, the GameSpot offices have been busy with activity. Even though Black Friday isn't until next week, holiday shoppers got a head start with our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. The previews team shed some light on Rockstar's dark thriller L.A. Noire, while the reviews squad tackled Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and NBA Jam.
On the news side, the NPD numbers hit, Call of Duty: Black Ops shattered more records, the Kinect sold 1 million, and Portal 2 was delayed. Last but not least, GameSpot Live cranked out a bunch of video reviews, including one for the highly anticipated Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.

With the holidays soon upon us, now is a good time to start filling out that video game shopping list. Our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide makes it simple to not only check out some of the best games of 2010 so far, but it also lets you add games to a wish list for easy reference. Also, in case you didn't hear, a little game called Call of Duty: Black Ops came out recently, so be sure to check out our full game guide, as well as a comparison feature that shows how the series' visuals have changed over the years. We also have all the latest details on the OnLive MicroConsole that lets you play OnLive content on your TV. And finally, GameSpot AU's Laura Parker chats with independent games luminaries to find out how the indie development scene can influence the rest of the video game industry.

The GameSpot news desk hummed with headlines this week, starting off with the NPD numbers for October, which saw overall US game sales decline 4 percent for the month. Software was up 6 percent, thanks to brisk sales of NBA 2K11 and Fallout: New Vegas. Hardware, however, fell 26 percent year-over-year, with the Xbox 360 taking the top slot once again, followed by the PlayStation 3 and the Wii.
In other news, Call of Duty: Black Ops boasted the biggest five-day entertainment gross ever with $650 million in sales and Microsoft announced its Kinect motion-sensing system has already sold 1 million units. Blizzard posted an ad for a Diablo III console lead designer, and BioWare teased a game that may--or may not--be a multiplayer spin-off of the Mass Effect series. Finally, Iowan studio Budcat closed its doors, and Activision said it was looking to sell off its once high-powered racing shop Bizarre Creations.

The highlight of previews this week was GameSpot's first look at Rockstar's upcoming detective thriller L.A. Noire. The big draw with this game is its highly nuanced facial animation, captured by advanced technology that surrounds the actor's face with dozens of cameras and turns that right into a 3D character model. And it's a good thing, too, because L.A. Noire is a game that requires you to read and interpret people's facial expressions as the primary way of solving crimes in 1940's Los Angeles. Beyond that, the team also had a look at Dirt 3, Marvel Pinball, and Fight Night Champion--so be sure to have a look at all of them.

The Tome of Horrors? But that's been done already; why do it again? Well, actually it's been done three times, but never like this. With the advent of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game as the newest torchbearer for the world's most popular role-playing game, we need monsters—lots of monsters. That's where The Tome of Horrors Complete delivers in spades. Starting from the original Tome written with the 3rd Edition rules along with the later releases of Tomes 2 and 3 for version 3.5, Necromancer Games was in the unique position to bring you updates of the classic monsters not formally released by the OGL, as well as, loads of new ones never sprung upon unsuspecting players before. So well received have these monsters been by the gaming community, that this open content has appeared again and again in game publications by other companies including updates to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game system and even appearances in its own Bestiaries.
Why stop there? Never before have all three volumes been updated to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game in their entirety and released as a single, hardbound tome. Monsters from the aberrant to the yellow musk zombie appear in this book, and everything in between—that's over 700 monsters. But that's not all; the appendices bring just as much to the table from templates to hazards to a treatise on poison variations in nearly 50 types of venomous snakes. There are also new feats, planes of existence, strange beings beyond mortal ken, and plenty of charts dividing the compiled monsters by CR, type, and terrain.
But it's more than just that, because the entire compilation has also been updated to the Swords & Wizardry rules for release as another version of the volume. And in this version, the space freed up by the smaller stat blocks is filled by sample monster lairs and encounters with the hundreds of different monster types featured in the tome. Never before has this massive selection of monsters been updated and brought with these resources all together in one place for use in your own game. And before any Pathfinder players cry foul over the monster lair additions in the Swords & Wizardry version of The Tome of Horrors Complete, this lair information is included as a part of the PDF download.
So you've got the monsters—both from the original edition of the game and new—the templates, the multiple appendices on rules, planes, and the n'gathau, and a truckload of sample encounters and lairs to throw at your players, all together in one easy-to-use book. That's why we call it The Tome of Horrors Complete!

Near obsolete: A tailor sews the current national flag at his Baghdad workshop.
BAGHDAD: Iraq is seeking to replace its national anthem and flag in a move aimed at providing unifying national symbols and putting decades of conflict and hardship in the country behind it. "We are determined to finish the new flag and anthem this year, in this legislative session," said MP Ali Shlah, the chairman of parliament's culture and media commission.
Shlah said a new anthem and flag "will be a unifying factor" for Iraqis, who have suffered decades of violence, privation and division.
Now-executed dictator Saddam Hussein started a war with Iran in 1980 that lasted for eight years, and then launched a disastrous invasion of Kuwait in 1990 only to be forced out in the 1991 Gulf War and hit by a harsh regime of international sanctions.
The country has also lived under an ever-present threat of bombings, assassinations, gunbattles and death squad killings since a U.S.-led coalition toppled Saddam in 2003, in which tens of thousands of people have died.
Iraq's current national anthem, "Mawtini" ("My Homeland"), was adopted in 2004 on the order of Coalition Provisional Authority chief Paul Bremer, who admired the song when he heard it at a concert.
The 2004 change was the fifth time that a new Iraqi national anthem had been adopted.
More than 400 texts by Iraqi poets were submitted as potential national anthems between 2008 and 2009, Shlah said, but the search for an anthem is ongoing. Earlier this year, the culture and media committee tasked six Iraqi writers with evaluating potential national anthems.
They have narrowed it down to three candidates – "Salam ala Hadhabat al-Iraq" ("Peace on the Hills of Iraq"); "Ghareeb ala al-Khaleej" ("A Stranger on the Gulf"); and "Watani al-Haq Yuaiduhu" ("My Country is Supported by Right").
In discussions on the poems, Iraqi Kurds, Turkmen and Assyrians called for verses in their languages to be added, but a compromise was reached whereby the words "Long live Iraq" would be said at the end in various languages.
Shlah said parliament is preparing a second reading of a law on the anthem, after a first reading two months ago, adding that "Peace on the Hills of Iraq" is the current leading candidate.
Agreeing on a new flag and anthem carries a good deal of symbolism, both in moving on from the past and requiring Iraqi politicians to reach a consensus – something that has proved elusive on a wide variety of issues.
The selection of a new anthem appears to be on track, but choosing a new flag is more problematic, although a previous committee narrowed dozens of designs down to six.
There was another proposal for a flag dating from the rule of Abdul Karim Qassem, who overthrew Iraq's monarchy in a bloody coup in 1958, to be adopted, but "this choice faced objections about the person of Abdul Karim Qassem, who symbolizes a certain era," Shlah said.
And he said that some people want to keep the current flag, as modifications to it mean that "it is no longer Saddam's flag."
Today's flag will be submitted along with six other designs from artists to a committee for review, he said.
The flag, a design that was adopted in 2008, consists of three horizontal bars – red, white and black. The middle bar bears the words "Allahu Akbar" ("God is Greatest"), written in green in the Kufi style of Arabic script.
Iraq's flag has been changed a number of times over the years – the 2008 design dropped three stars in the middle bar, while in 2004, the script used for the text was changed from one said to be based on Saddam's handwriting.
Iraq's first flag was adopted under the monarchy in 1925.
According to parliament's website, the new Iraqi flag should express "the unity of Iraq's land and people."

La Porte crowd cheers return of Marine hero
By Tabatha Bognar | June 30, 2012
Photo By Melissa PhillipMarine Cpl. Christopher Farias, who earned the Navy Cross and Purple Heart, was given a hero's welcome Saturday in La Porte. He was cited for "fearless actions and leadership" during combat in Afghanistan.
A Houston-area Marine was given a hero's welcome Saturday by dozens of supporters in La Porte.
A crowd filled the parking lot outside La Porte High School stadium, cheering and waving flags for Cpl. Christopher Farias, 26, who returned home with a Purple Heart and Navy Cross for "fearless actions and leadership" during a 2010 attack on his patrol base in Afghanistan.
"I had no idea what was going on today," said Farias, who sustained serious injuries as he helped fellow Marines during a Taliban attack. "It hit home to have so many people come to pay their respects, and I thank them for their support."
La Porte Mayor Louis Rigby proclaimed June 30 "Christopher Farias Day" in La Porte, as did the Baytown City Council. "As a veteran myself, it is always good to welcome a fellow Marine. We are really happy to have Chris home," said Rigby.
'On cloud nine'
The celebration continued at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 912 in Baytown, where Farias was honored as a lifetime member.
Paul Bentley, Farias' cousin-in-law who helped plan the event, was overjoyed to see him.
"I'm on cloud nine right now and I hope he's even higher," said Bentley. "He is a role model for many Americans and children.
"He is the definition of what a Marine is."
The Farias family said its members have nearly 183 years of military service combined.
"It makes me feel very proud of my family to know they have all fought and served.
"I hope my family continues to join in serving," said Farias, who threw out the ceremonial first pitch to his dad on Father's Day at Dodgers Stadium.
It was the first Father's Day that Farias had seen his dad in his eight years of military service, which included four tours overseas.

What kind of girls do guys like?
What kind of girls do boys mostly like? All of my ex's left me because of another girl.
Most Helpful Opinion
Depends on the guy. There has to be some sort of good looking in the girl though. I'm not dating a whale or an ugly girl. YOU have to LOOK GOOD no matter what they say. Looking good doesn't mean looking like Jessica Simpson by any means but you have to have some good features. If you have jumbo boobs, good curves, a nice tight ass, nice face or nice eyes your pretty much set. You just need one of those. A kid in my school who is considered a hot guy (I'm not gay so I wouldn't know) is dating a really ugly girl but she has like the biggest boobs I have ever seen and I think that's the reason. So you have to have something going for you.
He might get a lot of thumbs down for this one, but it's all real talk. guys like pretty girls =/
I think guy should like girls other than what they look like... girl like guys for more than looks so guys should be the same
What Guys Said 3
First of all a Guy has to find the girl attractive, at some level. But it's more than that a guy can fall in love with any girl, depending on her personality! In my opinion the most attractive personalties
are the outgoing going type, who can joke, make jokes, are very confident, and not clingy, there is nothing worse than a stage five clinger!
And shy girls are cute but not sexy. But mostly confidence is a major thing. And the harder to get the more you want her! There was a certain girl I didn't even want. But, I couldn't help trying just cause she wasn't interested in me.

Acoma's cure
Very soon the spiritual process continues with the trial of fires and then the burnt offerings to the gods.....all the best on your journey.... it will soon be good eatings....sooner than you think!
FB is surely the cure for the common oven,
thanks James too.
Re: Acoma's cure
Yes Xabia, Tuesday AM........I will be very busy tomorrow planning things:)
Re: Acoma's cure
It's Tuesday! How much earlier than normal did you wake up Robert?
Enjoy the next few days, you earned them.
Re: Acoma's cure
Well, you can call me Richard (Robert). I didn't wake up early because I could not sleep. I exhausted myself last night. My camera's batteries went dead and I want a photo opp before the first cure. My wife is taking the oldest girl to school, then picking up batteries. Once the photo is done, the fire begins:)
Re: Acoma's cure
Oops...easy edit!
Re: Acoma's cure
Waiting for pictures!
Re: Acoma's cure
Ohh yaaa!!!!!!! Photos will come but the draw up the flue is excellante! I noticed that at 100 degrees the smoke would come out the arch and flue. As the temp climbed in the low 200's the smoke that does exixt goes up the flue about 90%. I am keeping the oven between 200-285. I figure that if I want to hit 300, it will jump to 325+ quickly. My goal is to maintain that medium throughout the day.
My cord of Almond came this morning and it is sweet! Heavy too! The guys from the yard loved the oven, very impressed, and reiterated to me that any time I want scraps (nice ones too), that I can come by any time. What happiness to that? Almond, walnut, Oak, any of the scraps. I could load up my SUV easy several times over.
I was going to continue with all details about the oven on my oven thread, but thanks to Xabia, it makes sense to document my curing on a curing thread. Thank you Xabia:) I will post the oven without curing on my other thread. My curing photos will go here.
No cracks, no cracks, no cracks, that is what I repeat througout.
Re: Acoma's cure
Hang in there Richard! ;) Don't forget to tap the heels of your ruby slippers three times as you say that!
Re: Acoma's cure
I'm happy for you.
sorry... i got robert somewhere too! :rolleyes:
Take your time Richard.
You will be cooking in NO time!
Re: Acoma's cure
Very exciting indeed! Still looking for the photos....cool deal on the wood- glad that worked out for you.
BTW...Where did the "Richard" thing come from? I missed that.

I'm curious as to how broadcast stations create their huge amounts of power. A local FM station, for example, mentions they broadcast with 100K watts. Do they use tubes? Many many tubes? Huge transistors?
I'm also curious as to what kind of antennas they use? An omni-directional vertical?
Anyone know?

Dodoma — THE government has allayed fears over the country's ability to settle a national debt currently amounting to Sh21 trillioncom, insisting that concrete financial management plans were underway to contain the situation.
The Minister for Finance and Economic Affairs, Dr William Mgimwa, informed the National Assembly that under the National Debt Strategy, which focuses on ways to control growth of the national debt, the government borrows from international financial institutions with fairly minimal interest rates.
"Sources willing to lend Tanzania include the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Africa Development Bank, OPEC and other donor countries.
He was responding to a basic question from Amina Mohamed Mwidu (Special Seats- CUF) who asked the government to explain the strategies in place to address challenges related to the national debt.
"Before borrowing, the government takes precaution that includes assessment of the debt stock position, reasons for the borrowing whether for the purpose to stimulating the economy," Dr Mgimwa explained. He said negotiations are underway between the government and Non Paris Club Creditors, looking into the possibility to offset some of the debts whose interest rates have matured.
Earlier, the Deputy Minister for Finance and Economic Affairs, Ms Saada Mkuya Salum, informed the House that effective financial year 2012/13, the State suspended government bonds to public institutions and organizations. However, government securities were provided to projects serving as economic catalysts, also supporting joint ventures between public and private sectors.
The foreign debt amounts to 15trln/- and domestic debt is 6trln/-. In her supplementary question, Amina Mohammed Mwidau, (MP - Special Seat - CUF) and Richard Ndassa, (MP - Sumve - CCM) expressed doubt on the strategies adopted to service the national debt.

Healthy Elderly Scheme promotes exercise for the aged
The Healthy Elderly Scheme launched by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) aims to encourage senior citizens to develop a healthy lifestyle by participating in sports and exercise.
"The health of senior citizens has always been a primary concern for the Government," the Director of Leisure and Cultural Services, Ms Anissa Wong Sean-yee, said at the launching ceremony of the scheme, held at the Island East Sports Centre today (September 23).
"Improving quality of life for the elderly is also one of the Government's policy objectives," Ms Wong said.
Also officiating at the ceremony was the Chairman of the Eastern District Council, Ms Ting Yuk-chu.
Ms Wong said that under the Healthy Elderly Scheme, LCSD actively consults with voluntary associations in different districts and provides free sports facilities where they may organise activities for the elderly.
"What's more, 'elderly ambassadors' are being invited to act as coaches who can teach the participants to get the most enjoyment out of sport," she added.
Under the Healthy Elderly Scheme, senior citizens aged 60 or above can participate, at no charge, in recreational and sports activities during non-peak hours at LCSD sports centres in 18 districts.
Through March next year, the scheme will offer 381 free programmes for as many as 45,000 participants. Some programmes have been running since May this year.
The free programmes include table tennis, badminton, gateball, indoor lawn bowls, American pool, indoor golf, tai chi, baduanjin, elderly fitness, social dance, Chinese dance, chess, and arts and crafts.
Some 550 senior citizens from 13 voluntary agencies participated in today's opening ceremony. Besides various performances staged by the elderly, the day's activities included dancing, tai chi, fitness exercise, lawn bowls, table tennis and health seminars.
In 2001 and 2002, LCSD organised over 5,700 sports and recreational programmes that attracted over 500,000 elderly participants.
Other popular activities among the elderly include swimming, picnicking and fun days.
Senior citizens who wish to join the Healthy Elderly Scheme should approach their District Leisure Services Offices or call the department hotline, 2414 5555, for details.

Teen Mom
How Did Ryan Edwards and Dalis Connell Meet?
Teen Mom's hottest baby daddy and professional stud, Ryan Edwards, has been head-over-heels in love with his girlfriend, Dalis Connell, for over a year now, and they are shaping up to be the cutest couple since Britney and K-Fed!
But how did these two peas in a pod meet and fall in love?
Ryan and Dalis met at a concert in June 2011, and have been joined at the hips (ooh la la!) ever since. Though they don't live together (Ryan still lives with his parents, as far as we know), they're in an extremely committed relationship.
Dalis in particular has always been vocal about her love for Ryan, in good times and bad! Anyone who follows her on Twitter has seen her very public displays of affection.
Ryan and Dalis treated their fans to a YouTube interview a few months ago (which has since been removed), and Ryan said that he wants to put a ring on Dalis's finger and have two more kiddos with her!
Reports surfaced in October 2011 that they were already engaged, but considering that Dalis is still in college, we doubt the rumors are true!
If you're in the mood to swoon, follow Dalis @dalispaige and Ryan @ryancedwards. Their sweet and savory tweets are out of this world romantic!

La Revolucion
Posted on March 9, 2011 by TOFoodReviews Staff in The Junction
2 stars
- La Revolucion is amazing! Well no, it isn't, but that's exactly how I wanted to start this off. Man, I really wanted to love this place. La Revolucion just looks so dam cool that I figured the whole experience was going to be amazing. When I was first drawn by the interesting front stained-glass window and poked my head inside to look around, I figured that in no-time-at-all, there'd be a lineup to get in. Sadly, I don't think that's going to be the case anytime soon.
La Revolucion is a Mexican restaurant, but at first glance, it certainly doesn't scream Mexican; after eating there, I'm not even sure if that's what they're going for. It's a sparsely decorated joint that for some reason—at least while I was there—feels the need to distance themselves even more from their Mexican roots by blasting annoyingly loud rave music. I mean, their food is the typical, standard Mexican fare you'd expect, like enchiladas and tacos and burritos, but other than that and the few Mexican-esque decorations, there wasn't much Mexican about it at all.
They're heavily pushing the banditos aspect of Mexican culture, which is actually a pretty cool gimic in my eyes. While I get the whole concept of banditos and revolution, it seemed as though La Revolucion fell a little short of their delivery of the theme. While what little decor they have there is mostly bandito-related, the rest of the theme is left to interpretation. La Revolucion does feel as though they're finding their identity, but they have a lot of difficulty conveying what that identity is exactly to their guests. Sitting there, it doesn't feel as though you were part of the revolution, it feels as though you're interrupting them while they plan it, and they can't wait for you to leave so they can get back down to business.
Presentation isn't their strong point either. They haphazardly slap the food down on the plate, without much concern for appearances. My enchiladas were slightly warm and covered in tasteless green salsa; my burrito was humungous, but it was bland and not nearly warm enough. When I asked for hot sauce, because it was nowhere to be found, I got a small ramekin with some sort of sauce, but it's details remained a mystery that was left for me to find out with no explanation from the server, and while you're waiting for that stuff to all arrive, there's no offer of chips and salsa or even water for that matter, which would have definitely improved the experience.
Interestingly enough, before this place was a Mexican place it was, well, a Mexican place. Whoever it is that owns it probably just decided it was time to rebrand, and while that may have been a great idea on their part, the execution of their new brand and concept needs some polishing because it's hard to tell exactly what the concept is. La Revolucion may be a restaurant, but a revolution it is not.

Wow, I totally disagree! I love this place. It's not pretentious or expensive and the comfort food I have had there has always been fantastic. I've gone a bunch of times since it opened. Also, talk to the owner/staff and you'll get a much better sense of the joint's "Mexican-ness" (oh, but maybe not the Scottish waiter). It's a great addition to the neighbourhood. I can't wait for the back room to open, too.
I'd love to give it another shot Krystyn. Like I said, I really did want to love this place! I think it's a great addition to the Junction too, and it pretty much fits the neighbourhood's style perfectly. It really is too bad that when I went the food was the way it was…
If I do go back, any recommendations on what to order?
And yeah, I thought the back room looked pretty cool too.
