WASHINGTON — Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's recovery after five years in captivity has rekindled anger among some of his military peers over how he came to fall into enemy hands and the price the United States has paid to get him back.
Bergdahl, 28, is believed to have slipped away from his platoon's small outpost in Afghanistan's Paktika province on June 30, 2009, after growing disillusioned with the U.S. military's war effort. He was captured shortly afterward by enemy forces and held captive in Pakistan by insurgents affiliated with the Taliban. At the time, an entire U.S. military division and thousands of Afghan soldiers and police devoted weeks to searching for him, and some soldiers resented risking their lives for someone they considered a deserter.
Bergdahl was recovered Saturday by a U.S. Special Operations team in Afghanistan after weeks of intense negotiations in which U.S. officials, working through the government of Qatar, negotiated a prisoner swap with the Taliban.
Javier Ortiz, a former combat medic in the Army, said he is frustrated with Bergdahl's actions and thinks he should be tried for desertion, even after five years in captivity in Pakistan. Many U.S. troops had misgivings about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan while they were deployed but did not act on it as Bergdahl did, said Ortiz, of Lawton, Okla.
"I had a responsibility while I was there to the guys I was with, and that's why this hits the hardest," said Ortiz, who was in Iraq from March 2003 to March 2004 with the 101st Airborne Division. "Regardless of what you learned while being there, we still have a responsibility to the men to our left and right. It's terrible, what he did."
After he went missing, the military conducted an extensive search for Bergdahl. The plan was to create a blockade that would prevent his captors from taking him far from Paktika province, especially into Pakistan.
The bulk of other operations were halted to focus on finding Bergdahl.
"The unit completely changed its operational posture because of something that was selfish, not because a soldier was captured in combat," said one U.S. soldier formerly based in eastern Afghanistan who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the search.
The details of the search for Bergdahl were explored in a long online comment that was posted a year ago beneath a 2012 Rolling Stone magazine profile of the missing soldier by the late journalist Michael Hastings. The text of the comment was distributed widely on social media after news about Bergdahl's rescue broke. The comment attributed the deaths and woundings of several U.S. soldiers to the search for Bergdahl and asserted that the frequency of enemy ambushes and improvised explosive devices increased after he was gone.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, speaking to reporters Sunday in Bagram, Afghanistan, declined to talk about any possible action by the military against Bergdahl. A senior defense official indicated that punitive action was unlikely, no matter what the circumstances were. "Five years is enough," he said.
But a former service member questioned whether the United States should have released five members of the Taliban in exchange for Bergdahl. Former Sgt. Aaron King, who deployed to Iraq twice as part of the 101st Airborne Division, said that Washington needed to try to recover Bergdahl but that U.S. troops join the military knowing that they could be kidnapped. He also said that troops accept that they are not to be used in negotiations.
"We're giving up too much for this individual," said King. "Five guys are getting back out into the world to probably conduct terror operations and harm others."

- Sir Philip Sidney Pedigree Roll
- Francesco Cavalli's Erismena
- The 'particular-book' of James Nedeham
- The Sheldon Tapestry Map of Gloucestershire

Franz Kafka letters to his sister Ottla
The collection of over a hundred letters and postcards written by Franz Kafka to his favourite sister Ottla provide an important insight into the life of one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. The letters reveal the dynamics within the Kafka family, the author's not-so-guarded perception of the world, people he encountered, titles he read, his travels, diet, medical condition and sense of humour. It includes visually attractive postcards and Kafka's own drawings. These papers joined a set of other family correspondence, already partially owned by the Library. Together, they form an integral part of a literary archive that miraculously survived against the author's wishes and despite the historical disasters they were threatened by.
The Library purchased the letters in April 2011 jointly with the Deutsches Literaturarchiv in Marbarch. This historic collaboration will extend to a programme of exhibitions, conferences, exchanges of academics and other projects.
Pictured: One of the finest examples of Kafka's drawings, a postcard to Ottla 'Scenes from my life', 1918 (HS.2011.0037.00064 = MS Kafka 49, fol. 79r)
Autograph of Jane Austen's The Watsons
In 2011 the Bodleian Library acquired the only known fiction manuscript in Jane Austen's hand that was still in private ownership.
Probably drafted in 1804-05, The Watsons marked a decisive turning point in the kind of fiction Jane Austen was writing - towards a darker and more realistic style of social criticism. Though never completed for publication, material from it was redeployed, notably into Mansfield Park. In aesthetic terms, the manuscript is of immense value: sixty-eight pages of closely written text, filled with deletions and revisions, it represents Austen's first extant draft of a novel in process of development. Not only of interest for it's linguistic text, The Watsons also offers a unique opportunity to study Austen's method of making homemade booklets as her usual writing surface.

Sir Philip Sidney Pedigree Roll
A manuscript pedigree for the poet and courtier Sir Philip Sidney, compiled by Robert Cooke Esquire, Clarenceux King of Arms in about 1580.
The roll depicts the lineage of one of the most influential literary figures of the Elizabethan age. It was probably commissioned by Sir Henry Sidney, the poet's father, as part of his efforts to produce a family genealogy. The pedigree is on a long vellum roll of five joined sheets and displays 88 hand-coloured coats of arms joined by highly illuminated branch and foliage decoration. There is an additional large and finely executed coat of arms of Sir Philip Sidney on the final sheet (currently detached), with Cooke's signature.
The Bodleian Library has a particular strength in books and manuscripts by and relating to Sidney and this roll is an important addition to the collection.

Francesco Cavalli's Erismena
The manuscript score of Francesco Cavalli's Erismena is the earliest opera in the English language. The privately-owned score had been the object of a temporary export ban by the Culture Minister in view of its 'outstanding significance for the study of the history of music in the UK'.
Erismena was originally produced in Italy in 1655 by the leading Italian composer of the mid-17th century, Francesco Cavalli (1602-76). This manuscript, with a complete English singing translation, was written in about 1670, evidently for performance (though none has been traced) – thirty years earlier than any other import of Italian opera into England. Its prologue is unique to this manuscript, and may have been the work of an English composer. The manuscript makes its return to Oxford having been in the libraries of William and Philip Hayes, successive 18th-century professors of music in Oxford.

The 'particular-book' of James Nedeham, Surveyor of the King's Works, 1539-40
A manuscript 'particular-book' of James Nedeham, Surveyor of the King's Works in the reign of Henry VIII was originally part of the Foljambe Library removed from Osberton Hall, Nottinghamshire. Covering the years 1539-40, the volume fits perfectly into the sequence of eleven other such 'particular-books' in the Bodleian's Rawlinson collection.
These volumes record a variety of details relating to modifications and repairs to the structure and fittings of royal manors and palaces, and also the names of the labourers and craftsmen who carried out the work, with details of their pay each month.
Just as MS. Rawl. D. 775 records work carried out in May and June 1533 'ageynst the coronacion of the Quene' Anne Boleyn, the Foljambe volume includes payments for work done in preparation of the arrival of Anne of Cleves. The wedding of Henry VIII and Anne of Cleves took place in the newly appointed Queen's closet on 6 January 1540.

The Sheldon Tapestry Map of Gloucestershire
A substantial part of a map of Gloucestershire, depicting also parts of Wiltshire and Monmouthshire, woven in wools and silks, part of a series of four large tapestry maps commissioned by Ralph Sheldon (1537-1613) for the Sheldon family home in Weston, Warwickshire, probably in the 1590s.
Two of the four (Worcestershire and Oxfordshire) were already owned by the Bodleian, having been bequeathed by the antiquary Richard Gough in 1809, and a third (Warwickshire) is part of the Warwickshire Museum's collection.
The maps are of major significance for cartographic history, forming a unique representation of the landscape of the Midland Counties of England when modern cartography was still in its infancy. The maps are also significant as examples of decorative art. Technically, they are without parallel in the UK, with only two other continental equivalents, the so-called Armada tapestries woven for Lord Effingham in 1595, and a tapestry map of Leiden woven in Flanders around 1587.

The Tom Phillips Archive of Dante's Inferno
An archive of materials relating to the Talfourd Press edition of Dante's Inferno, translated, illustrated, designed and published by the artist Tom Phillips (b. 1937), one of the great 20th-century livres d'artiste.
This archive enriches the Bodleian Library's collection of materials associated with the arts of the book and is a major addition to the Library's holdings relating to Italian studies.

Manuscripts of Sir Robert Filmer
A group of manuscripts of Sir Robert Filmer, 1st Baronet (1588?-1653), political theorist, and of other Filmer family members, discovered among a collection in the Filmer home of East Sutton Park, Kent, in 1939, and later acquired by the scholar Peter Laslett, who identified Filmer as the embodiment of the intellectual ideas opposed by the philosopher John Locke later in the 17th-century.
The presence of the Filmer manuscripts alongside Paul Mellon's portion of the Locke library and manuscripts in the Bodleian Library will add to the importance of the Library as a centre for the study of the history of political thought during the 17th century.
Philip Larkin Letters
A collection of nearly 2,000 letters, cards, poems and photographs sent by Philip Larkin (1922-1985), one of the most significant poets writing in the English Language during the second half of the 20th-century, to Monica Jones, a lecturer at Leicester University who died in 2001, who enjoyed a sustained relationship with Larkin for over 40 years and who, following his wishes, burned his diaries at his death.
The collection is a largely unresearched source of information about Larkin's life, feelings and poetry, and contains unpublished poems and manuscript and typescript drafts of poems that were eventually published. It joins other significant groups of Larkin material already in the Bodleian.
The Abinger Shelley Papers
The Abinger Shelley papers, a major source for British literary and intellectual history during the Romantic period, comprise of the papers of:
- the philosopher William Godwin (1756-1836), author of the influential treatise An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice (1793) and of his wife, the pioneering feminist Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797), author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792);
- the incoming correspondence and other papers of their daughter Mary Shelley (1797-1851) and of her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822);
- and much further material of their family and circles.
Included are three key pieces: the surviving fragments of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein manuscripts; the joint journal of Percy and Mary Shelley, in five volumes; and the unpublished journal of William Godwin in 32 volumes, 1788-1836.
Pictured: Page from Mary Shelley's draft manuscript of Frankenstein, with Percy Bysshe Shelley's corrections (Abinger Shelley papers Dep.c.477/1, fol.21r, detail).
Mendelssohn's Hebrides or Fingal's Cave Overture
The final working autograph manuscript of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's Hebrides or Fingal's Cave overture. One of the composer's best known works, the overture was inspired by a visit to the Hebrides in 1829 and was to be three years in gestation.
This manuscript was written during the composer's next visit to England, and is dated at the end 'London 20 June 1832'. Its 34 pages are full of deletions and revisions in his characteristically fine calligraphic hand, reflecting his final main work on the composition.
The Bodleian's magnificent Mendelssohn collection already contained important source material relating to the work, and now offers unique opportunities for the study of the development of the work.
Pictured: Mendelssohn's Hebrides or Fingal's Cave Overture (MS. M. Deneke Mendelssohn d. 71, fol.8r).
The Book of Curiosities and Marvels for the Eyes
A newly discovered medieval Arabic manuscript of an anonymous treatise entitled Kitâb Gharââal-funûwa- mullah al 'unûn, or loosely translated, The Book of Curiosities and Marvels for the Eyes, probably originally composed in Egypt in AD 1020-1050, this apparently unique copy was probably made in about 1200.
The treatise is made up of two books, one dealing with the heavens (10 chapters), and the other with the earth (25 chapters). Both books include a remarkable series of early maps and astronomical diagrams, most of which are unparalleled in any other known extant Greek, Latin or Arabic manuscript.
This is an Islamic scientific manuscript of the first importance for scholarship and an important acquisition for the Bodleian, which has one of the few significant collections of medieval Islamic cartographic manuscripts in Europe.
Pictured: Rectangular world map from The Book of Curiosities and Marvels for the Eyes, c.1200 (MS. Arab. c.90, fols. 23v-24r).
A Manuscript Book of Hours
Made for use at St. George's, Oxford in the late 14th century. The Oxford origins of this fragmentary Book of Hours of the Use of Sarum are revealed in its calendar, where the entry for 2 April reads 'Dedicacio sancti georgii oxonie'.
St. George's, Oxford, was the church built in 1074 within Oxford Castle. The book is datable by its illumination.
The three surviving historiated initials are enough to reveal that the iconographic programme for the Hours of the Virgin consisted of a cycle of scenes of the Passion of Christ, common in English Books of Hours, but differing from the French pattern of scenes from the Life of the Virgin.
Pictured: One of three surviving historiated initials from the St. George's Hours, Oxford, late 14th century (MS. Don. d. 206, fol. 30v).
Sir Charles Mackerras: a bust by Antonia Young
Sir Charles received an honorary D. Mus. from Oxford in 1997 and is an honorary fellow of St. Peter's College.
The Dunard Fund has donated a substantial sum towards the creation of the new Music Reading Room in the proposed New Bodleian redevelopment, and wishes that room to be named the Charles Mackerras Music Reading Room. The bust will eventually occupy a place of honour in the new reading room.

Brooke Gann might as well have two left feet.
A natural southpaw, the Trevecca Nazarene sophomore leans on her right foot too — making her a valuable weapon on the soccer field.
The ambidextrous forward has shot her way into the record books with a single-season school-record 12 goals as the Trojans (15-3-3) head into their first National Christian College Athletic Association Division I Soccer Championship on Wednesday in Kissimmee, Fla.
"She is relentless up top. She can run and run and run and then finishes with both feet," coach Brett Armstrong said. "She is dangerous. I think she scares everybody a little bit."
At 5-foot-3, she doesn't look intimidating but her teammates caution otherwise.
Behind her speed and endurance, Gann has piled up 20 goals in two years and ranks third all-time at Trevecca, which this season outscored its three regional opponents 11-0. On Monday, she was named the Mid-East Region Player of the Year.
"We always hate going against her in practice as defenders," sophomore Jordan Ponto said. "She works really hard every day and is able to capitalize when she has the opportunities and score the goals we need."
Offensively, Gann has provided much of the production — especially in clutch moments.
The Chattanooga native has scored six game-winning goals this year, providing much of the offense for a team heavy on defense.
"She's getting big goals in big spots for us," said Armstrong, who was named the Mid-East Coach of the Year. "At this level most of the girls can play with both feet but to have somebody, especially up top, who is confident enough to shoot. Usually we have a favorite side that we like to go toward and that makes us a little more predictable. But Brooke really doesn't care if she is on her right foot or left foot, she'll let it fly. I think that makes her tougher to handle up top."
Gann said she has always had the ability to shoot with both feet.
Most soccer players are taught to dribble with both. When it comes to shooting, some rely on one foot too much and lean toward attacking to one side of the goal. This makes them more vulnerable from a defensive standpoint.
"I guess I am blessed enough to use them both — pretty much since I was little," she said. "You want to use your left foot more by forcing yourself to use them both and just practicing from being little to all the way up to now. It is important to use them both."
The Trojans hope to ride the feet of Gann and Co. a little longer.
With a school-record 15 wins, Trevecca was ranked 14th in the latest NCCAA poll but is the eighth and final seed in the tournament. The Trojans open against top-seed Judson (Ill.) University.
A preseason goal to reach this stage, Trevecca has exceeded expectations as it continues to transition to NCAA Division II. Midway through the season, the Trojans went 11 matches without a loss. During that stretch they won all three of their Great Midwest Athletic Conference games. It served as a prelude as they won the inaugural G-MAC tournament at Trevecca in November.
Trevecca takes a program-best seven-game winning streak into the national tournament, where the Trojans want to get off on the right — or left — foot and stick around for a few days.
"We really believe we can go down there and win. It is not enough just to win one game for us," Gann said. "People don't expect us to go out there and win against bigger and stronger teams. But we just have a lot of heart and we play together. We may not be the best team all the time but we stick together and pull through."

Commencement Address 2007
Paul J. Zingg, President
Trustees Melinda Guzman, Craig Smith, and Bob Linscheid
Fellow members of the platform party
Faculty and staff,
Parents, children, relatives, and friends of the graduates,
And, the reason we're here, graduates of the California State University, Chico, Class of 2007.
I am very honored to join the others who are sharing remarks with you at this year's Commencement address. And I want you to know that I know a few things about such remarks.
First, I know that the ice is melting, so I need to keep this short.
Second, I know that your future is awaiting, so I need to keep this relevant.
Third, I know that you'll hardly remember anything that I say. Ok, maybe you'll remember that line.
But, I hope that you will remember, fondly and appreciatively, the time that you have spent here in our and each other's company. And I hope that you'll remember that it was here that you acquired a deeper sense of serious daring in your lives and that you found joy in that discovery.
That it was here that you came to realize that the essence of education is self-discovery, that education's critical role is the nurturing of human freedom in the service of human community, and that neither discovery nor service occur without intention and resolve.
People do not just find themselves. Rather, they create themselves through their actions and through accepting the consequences of them.
Women and men achieve personal identities only by making decisions that require forethought, intention, and, at times, courage. You must look beyond what is known and tried to what is, as yet, unknown and untried. You must search out alternatives, consider their consequences, and then confront these choices. In a practical and provocative sense, half the jobs for the mid-21st century haven't even been invented yet. Can you anticipate them? Can you define them? Will you fill them?
To arrive at these choices, I urge you always to seek the truth. Think. Study. Weigh and measure. To do otherwise may mean that you will become enslaved to falsehoods. And those who know the least are the most willing to obey shallow signs and dangerous deceptions.
I urge you to continue to seek meaning in your own life. This may require an act of faith when faced with the chaos and complexity, and even the insane brutality, that exists in parts of our world today and which sadly and tragically even visits our campuses. As part of an American community of higher education, we are united in the pursuit of learning and also in grief whether the cause be a hurricane in New Orleans or a madman in Blacksburg. Whether far from here or in our own community, we mourn the goodness, creativity, joy, intelligence, and potential lost when lives with so much promise are cut short by accident, alienation, or despair. But stay close to your family and friends, find solace in nature, be kind to one another, and recognize that your spirit, no less than your body, requires nourishment.
Mohandas Gandhi, whose social and political activism was grounded in hope and service, defined several spiritually perilous conditions, when he warned of:
- Wealth without work
- Pleasure without conscience
- Science without humanity
- Knowledge without character
- Politics without principle
- Commerce without morality
- Worship without sacrifice
I urge you to build a life of virtue, which rejecting these deadly sins will enable, and, particularly, to make sure that justice informs all of your actions. Practice charity and forbearance in your daily life. Embrace the example of the many among you who helped with the Hurricane Katrina recovery, who raised funds and hopes for the children victims of cancer, who devoted countless hours of service to the Chico Boys & Girls Club, Habitat for Humanity, a cleaner environment and a sustainable future, who tutored the less fortunate, provided company to the lonely, and fed the hungry. Examples like these not only reflect a generous community, but also reveal that you and I, and all peoples, even the weakest and least advantaged among us, share a common humanity and potential for goodness.
In these matters, I urge you to understand the dignity of human aspirations. The ability to hope, to dream of a brighter future, underscores what it means to be human. We cherish this quality in ourselves. You must see to it, then, you who know better, that the dreams of others are not destroyed by prejudice and discrimination, by poverty and ignorance.
And, finally, I urge you to think kindly of this place – this community of noble purpose, this community of extraordinary people – which has equipped you and encouraged you for the daring journeys ahead – whether they be brief forays or deep commitments, whether they test boundaries or cross borders, whether they are intellectual or attitudinal, spatial or spiritual.
We hope you leave us more autonomous, more tolerant, more curious, more imbued with habits of the heart, than when you first joined us. And we hope these qualities will always characterize you and define us.
We are better because you have been with us. We will become even better as you stay in touch with us as an active member of a growing and enthusiastic Chico State Alumni Association and that you will share with us your journeys and decisions always, we hope, on the side of the true, the beautiful, and the virtuous.
Congratulations and best wishes.

Most daughters grew up playing with the iconic Barbie girl plastic dolls. While these statuesque, blonde and blue-eyed dolls are pretty, they only represent one type of female body. Graphic designer Nickolay Lamm came up with the creative idea to reveal how Barbie would look if she were realistically proportioned.
Nickolay Lamm replicated the average body size, shape and measurements of a 19-year-old American girl using a 3D-modelling system. After a white, miniature toy version was created, painted and clothed, Nickolay Lamm placed the new realistic Barbie doll version and side by side with the original Barbie. The contrast is simply startling as the properly proportioned Barbie girl is shorter, wider, curvier, bustier than the original doll.

Thursday night, IU narrowly beat Eastern Kentucky by 6 points amid a crowd exceeding 36,000. The IU faithful knew Memorial Stadium's atmosphere was going to be altered. But as soon as they stepped inside, they were truly blown away.
IU fan John Ashman traveled from Munie to see the stadium in person. "You see the front and you're excited before you ever get to the stadium. Before, you come up there – it was just an open end. It really wasn't very pretty."
Last season, the South end zone was the band's seating area. Now, it's Knot Hole Park.
"I like it a lot," said IU fans Ann and Rachel Skirvin. "And I like the new section where the little kids can play the little football."
While the alumni and little ones filled the stands, IU women's basketball coach Felisha Legette-Jack believes the student body can ultimately put IU football back on the map.
"I just love the fact that college kids are here. My entire team is here at a game. They couldn't afford to come before and now they can afford to come. This is what it's all about. It's about the kids, and the kids are here. That's what's making all the difference."
It was a night, Hoosier fans of all ages hope to relive for the 5 remaining home games this season.

Unlike many celebrity sex tape rumors, the one about "The Girls Next Door" star Kendra Wilkinson is absolutely true. Filmed by Kendra's former boyfriend Justin Frye, the video was made when Kendra was 18 years old. Kendra and Frye dated for almost five years, a relationship which began in high school and eventually they lived together. Their relationship ended after Hugh Hefner invited Kendra to move to the Playboy mansion to be one of his three live-in girlfriends. Their lives were documented in the E! reality television series "The Girls Next Door." Meanwhile, Frye waited until the opportune time to sell the sex tape…like after Kendra became famous as a Playmate and reality show star.
Hefner and his "girls next door."
Kendra with a new chest courtesy of Playboy:
Frye sold the video to celebrity sex tape specialists Vivid Entertainment for $100,000 and it debut in May 2010 as "Kendra Exposed." Kendra first publicly protested the release saying, "It broke my heart...it is just the hardest thing to deal with right now" and threatened to sue. Her attorney stated the tape was made for personal use and not for public entertainment purposes. However, Kendra backed off when RadarOnline.com reported that in 2008, Kendra had attempted to sell personal sex tapes to the highest bidder through her company Home Run Productions but negotiations fell apart.
After Vivid released the sex video, it was revealed that Kendra secretly agreed to the video release and had struck a financial deal with Vivid where she was paid $680,000 in addition to half the profits from the sales. In addition to the initial $100,000, Fyre also got a percentage of the sales but less than Kendra's deal.
Clips from "Kendra Exposed."
The video reveals a young Kendra who is clearly comfortable with her body and sexuality and knows how to showcase both. The tape shows a pre-breast implants Kendra and Frye graphically having sex in various positions with many scenes where you get to see Kendra up close and personal. The tape reveals the only thing 18 year-old Kendra doesn't know how to do is to assert herself when Frye does things she asks him not to do…like film her while they're having sex. But perhaps Kendra has forgiven Fyre since she's now received a big payout.
As demonstrated by this video, Kendra is very comfortable in front of the camera:
It certainly didn't hurt Kendra's bank account as Vivid reported "Kendra Exposed" is one of its best-selling celebrity tapes. And since Kendra found fame at the Playboy mansion where sex is served on a silver platter, the only thing that the sex tape could hurt is her marriage to NFL football player Hank Baskett whom she married in June 2009. When the tape was released in May 2010, conflicting sources reported Baskett was upset and threatened to leave her while other media said Baskett completely understood that the tape was a part of Kendra's past. The couple have discussed the ups and downs of their marriage on Kendra's former E! reality show and on her current Wetv show, "Kendra on Top". Currently, the Basketts are still married and have one son with another child on the way.
Kendra and Hank Baskett on their wedding day
When Frye and Kendra lived together, he filmed Kendra for many sex videos including one in which she had sex with a woman, Taryn Ryan. In 2010, RadarOnline.com reported that Taryn's ex-boyfriend Kavi Cermak told them that Taryn co-starred with Kendra in a sex video. Other reports detailed that the girls were hanging out with their boyfriends and encouraged by the guys, started to fool around with each other and eventually had sex. The tape is supposedly about 45 minutes and also shot by Justin Frye. RadarOnline.com reported that Frye sold as many as 20 home sex videos featuring Kendra with multiple partners to Vivid Entertainment and Vivid plans to release a series of sequels to "Kendra Exposed." So far none of the sequels have yet surfaced although RadarOnline.com has pictures of Kendra having fun with a couple of girls in bed.

Anyone know the news on the 25th anniversary items, like how do we get them and stuff?
Any idea where I can find how the melee weapons work and how the fuck you roll their damage or something for Rogue Trader?
I have a game tomorrow and Iv'e been too busy to create the mission and art, haven't had time to look up the rules
It's right there in the book.
Anyways, for melee weapons, you take the damage they do and add the strenght bonus of the wielder, then subtract from it the armour and toughness bonus of the target. NPC profiles list melee damage with the strenght bonus accounted for already.
So forgeworld just released some experimental rules for a different way to play 40k, along with expensive as hell pieces to complement them.
Also, a video:
So what happens when a space marine's nose itches? It's not like he can just scratch it.
looks like space hulk without terminators and genestealers
I'd like a gaming board but I have absolutely no where to put it.
Also, sneaky sneaky, they're using multiple sets of it to make it seem bigger and more modular (6 of the tiles as opposed to the 4 you get from the set)
Not quite as modular as I expected however.
I don't know how you people can find those videos funny in the least.
Wrote this list for the 25th Anniversary event tommorow. Why do Ork HQ choices have to be so goddamn hard to pick?
I read through the rules and they seem more balanced than the usual FW affair. I would love to try them out if I can convince someone from my gaming club to participate.
Fippe is a true boss.
Gentlemen, Warhammer turns 25 years old today.
This one is my favorite.
Hopefully another strong 25 years to come, I'm sure it will if I keep giving them the crazy amounts of money I do.
Sigh, got to Kyras as IG tonight.
A minute after I engage him, the game crashes.
He wins for the time being. But we'll be back!
In other news, Green stuff(!) and conversions with shitty phone camera;
Went to the nearest games workshop, Ate cake and bought a chaos attack squad.
That glue man, That glue is amazing.
Problem is, the mission is kinda timed. The timer is my computer's video card, which may or may not explode.
Oh yeah, I was helping someone glue his orks together as he got that black reach pack.
Fuck, His units were so simple to put together compared to mine.
Metallic paints (like Chainmail) cannot (or should not) be thinned, correct?
Forget the Craft world, Ranger all the way
skyrim is now warhammer

In case you missed it, here's a story from Bob Gardinier on the theft of iPods, cell phones and cash from Watervliet's locker room on Saturday.
BRUNSWICK — The visiting Watervliet Cannoneers football team lost a close game to Tamarac's Bengals on Saturday and then lost again when they returned to their locker room.
Police and school officials are investigating the thefts of personal items from the Watervliet team's lockers at Tamarac on Saturday while everyone watched a thrilling 13-12 game out on the field.
State Police were called to the campus at Clums Corners to investigate after the thefts were discovered.
Trooper Maureen Tuffey said iPods, cellular phones, wallets and cash were taken from the visitors lockers. She said she did not know how many lockers were broken into.
Tamarac Secondary School Principal Rich Pogue issued a statement regarding the matter.
"The Brunswick Central School District is currently working with the New York State Police in their investigation of the theft of a number of items from the visiting Watervliet High School team's locker room during Saturday afternoon's game," he said.
"Because this is an ongoing police investigation, we are unable to comment about the specifics of the alleged theft. We would like to express our deep regrets to the athletes of Watervliet High School. We will do everything we can to assist State Police in their investigation to hopefully bring resolution to this unfortunate incident," Pogue added.
Jill Aurora, a spokeswoman for Watervliet schools, confirmed the two district were working together and with State Police to catch the culprits. No arrests had been reported as of late Monday, State Police said. Anyone with information can call State Police in Brunswick at 279-4426.


text: Zuma: We have created more jobs SHARE THIS 2014-03-13 08:19 Jacob Zuma Johannesburg - A lot of work has been done to fight poverty, unemployment and inequality since 2009, President Jacob Zuma said on Wednesday."We have created more jobs than before. Employment is now higher than it has ever been, at 15 million people," Zuma said in a statement.He was speaking during the launch of the election edition of the Progressive Leader magazine produced by the ANC Progressive Business Forum."More of our people have been lifted out of extreme poverty. Our social grants, received by over 16 million people, are one of the critical instruments in poverty alleviation," he said.ElectioneeringHe told guests of the work the ANC had been able to accomplish since coming into government.Zuma said more than R1 trillion had been invested in infrastructure projects, compared with R451bn in the previous five years."Nearly 500 informal settlements have been replaced with quality housing and basic services, thus providing our people with dignified housing," said Zuma.More was to be done in the area of sanitation and water provision in the next term, he added.On business, Zuma said government had done a lot to create a conducive climate for business to thrive. He said the initiatives taken by government would translate into stronger domestic growth and more jobs.Among the initiatives was the call to buy locally produced goods. He said the party wanted the state to buy at least 75% of its goods and services from South African producers and support small enterprises.Increasing investment"We have also done well in promoting and protecting the country's automotive sector, which is a valuable source of foreign direct investment."We are pleased with the progress in the growth of this sector and welcome all the major investments that have been made," said Zuma.He called on the private sector to respond appropriately, by increasing investment, production, exports and employment.Zuma said private sector investment accounted for 63% of total investment. In addition, the private sector employed 77% of all working South Africans, he added."We therefore need active private sector participation in boosting inclusive growth to eradicate poverty and unemployment," the president said. - SAPA SHARE THIS Read more on: jacob zuma | elections 2014 | politics | labour

Throughout history, the Leafs hadn't exactly been known as a goalie factory. Deviations and examples contrary to that rule existed (Felix Potvin) but for the most part every goaltender that the Leafs Nation lauded and admired came with an already built NHL credibility.
Goalies such as Curtis Joseph, Ed Belfour even Johnny Bower weren't new to the league when they first put on the Maple Leaf colors. While all know that James Reimer had a great season, here's where it statistically ranks amongst all recent Maple Leaf rookie goaltenders.
The criterion I used for defining what constitutes as a rookie season is the currently valid Hockey Operations Guideline. Based on those guidelines, I identified the rookie seasons of all the goalies that had their first NHL experience in a Leafs uniform during a 20 year period.
Rookie Qualifications
To be considered a rookie, a player must not have played in more than 25 NHL games in any preceding seasons, nor in six or more NHL games in each of any two preceding seasons. Any player at least 26 years of age (by September 15th of that season) is not considered a rookie.
So, here we go, to start things off we have the Monster's somewhat solid rookie season:
Jonas Gustavsson in 09-10, .902 SP, 2.87 GAA, 1146 shots faced, 42 games played in, 16-15-9 record, 1 shutout
Mikael Tellqvist in 03-04, .895 SP 2.87 GAA, 293 shots faced, 11 games played in, 5-3-2 record, 0 shutouts
Marcel Cousineau in 96-97, .902 SP, 3.29 GAA, 317 shots faced, 13 games played in, 3-5-1 record, 1 shutout
Damian Rhodes in 93-94, .902 SP, 2.62 GAA, 541 shots faced, 22 games played in, 9-7-3 record, 0 shutouts
Felix Potvin in 92-93, .910 SP, 2.50 GAA, 1286 shots faced, 48 games played in, 25-15-7 record, 2 shutouts
Peter Ing in 90-91, .883 SP, 3.84 GAA, 1716 shots faced, 56 games played in, 16-29-8 record, 1 shutout
James Reimer 10-11, .921 SP, 2.60 GAA, 1134 shots faced, 37 games played in, 20-10-5 record, 3 shutouts
To find a similarly stellar Leafs goalie rookie season, one would have to wind the clock back to 76-77 and Mike Palmateer when he played 50 games with a 23-18-8 record, a 3.21 GAA.
Names like Jeff Reese during the 88-89 season or Allan Bester in 83-84 don't come even close. Ken Wregget's and Vincent Tremblay's rookie seasons only merit a mention because they in fact had their rookie years in a Leaf uniform. Statistically speaking, what this basically tells us is that James Reimer had the best rookie goalie season in a Leafs uniform during a 35 year period. Actually, I would argue that outside of Felix Potvin's miraculous rookie year, no goalie in that period had a rookie season that resembled anything to what Reimer did when called up. And that fact, more than any other, puts things into perspective.

The scene Tuesday at a Congressional Black Caucus tour stop in Detroit mirrored a large-scale argument more than a political town hall meeting. And things got testy when Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters expressed disappointment with the president and challenged the crowd regarding its "love" for Obama.
"We don't put pressure on the president," said Waters to cheers and jeers as people interrupted at will and yelled at her. "Let me tell you why. We don't put pressure on the president because ya'll love the president. You love the president. You're very proud…to have a black man [in the White House] …First time in the history of the United States of America. If we go after the president too hard, you're going after us."
She then told the fired-up crowd that voters must "unleash" the Democrats on Obama (some obliged) before criticizing him for not visiting any "black community" during his bus tour:
"When you tell us it's alright and you unleash us and you tell us you're ready for us to have this conversation, we're ready to have the conversation. The Congressional Black Caucus loves the president too. We're supportive of the president but we're getting tired ya'll…we're getting tired. And so, what we want to do is…we want to give the president every opportunity to show what he can do and what he's prepared to lead on. We want to give him every opportunity…but our people are hurting. The unemployment is unconscionable. We don't know what the strategy is. We don't know why on this trip that he's in the United States now, he's not in any black community…we don't know that."
You can watch the heated exchange below:
There is a lot to digest in that video. For starters, how come a sitting congresswoman can get away with referencing "our people" and not face any backlash?
Second, the comments point to a division within the black community — and even among liberals — that has been brewing over the last few years. While many were excited for the historic election of a black president, an increasing number of them are upset the president hasn't done enough for them.
Could it be, though, that the people of Detroit have too high of expectations? Remember this clip about "free Obama money" from 2009?
Third, it may be disconcerting to some to hear a Rep. admit that there are those in Congress who — despite disagreeing with the president — are keeping quiet for fear of retribution. What happened to courage?
Rush Limbaugh pointed that out (via Daily Rushbo) on radio Wednesday, finding it comical that Waters had to ask the black community "permission" to go after the president:
And that brings us to our final point: what better timing for an event calling for people to stand with courage?
Editor's note: read Meredith's thoughts on this over at the blog.

hi everybody,
its nice to me to participate on this forum. frankly Im on the first steps of studying java language and i enjoy with it.
I want from you some help and I wish to see the helping from java-forum members.
my question is how to write a program for this matter....?
The main idea is using Caesar cipher.
"The transformation can be represented by aligning two alphabets; the cipher alphabet is the plain alphabet rotated left or right by some number of positions. For instance, here is a Caesar cipher using a left rotation of three places (the shift parameter, here 3, is used as the key):
Plain: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Cipher: DEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABC"
An example for that:
Plaintext: the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
Ciphertext: WKH TXLFN EURZQ IRA MXPSV RYHU WKH ODCB GRJ
Cipher Key is:
Encryption = Plaintext + 3
Decryption = Ciphertext 3
Im waiting 4 ur replays
Best Regards, :)

You raise very valid and thoughtful points. The finger-pointing is discouraging.

I wish, also, that we had long-term solutions to poverty and crime.

Socially, it's the right thing to do and economically the long-term costs of crime and punishment are much higher than education and training programs.

Thanks for writing. Thanks for mentioning that piece in hybrid nation. I plan to check it out.

Take care!

2000 Ford Expedition; 142,500, 5.4 engine! I had question on air shocks in the back, the compressor kicks on and truck lifts but later on the shocks I guess leak air, and drops, so the compressor kicks on about every few minutes, but sometimes the truck stays lifted, Do you think the problem has to do with a bad sensor or if the shocks have a leak can that be fixed or has to be replaced completely?
have the same problem?

If you're a sports fan who visits a dozen websites everyday looking for fresh sports news, here's a time saving solution. RECAPP is the sports news app that organizes high quality news by your favorite teams and sports. For fans, both casual and hardcore, this app offers an easy way to stay up to date on their favorite teams.
Users can select their favorite teams across different leagues and funnel the latest updates into one feed. Follow categories as broad as soccer, leagues such as the NFL or NCAA basketball, or your favorite teams like the Washington Redskins.
The internet can tend to get really noisy during real-time sports updates. Much of the news comes from amateur pieces, not quality publishers. While there will always be the worldwide leaders like ESPN and Twitter, RECAPP distinguishes itself by providing a top-level look at the team using local news and experts.
Launched in April 2012, the app has gained good traction and feedback. "Organically, app downloads have increased mostly by word of mouth, but sports is a tough nut to crack," shares founder David Chen. "When you look at the landscape of sports apps, there's a lot of room for improvement." In the next several months, the team plans to release an Android app and develop a more social platform for fans to engage and connect with each other.
Whether it's promoting at startup conferences or local sports bars, people who love technology and sports love RECAPP. Chen explains that the best thing about this startup is "being able to create something you're passionate about that people also find value in — there's nothing like that."
For more information, visit RECAPP at their website, or follow them on Twitter @RECAPP for the latest updates.

Quick Pix Multiplication
Quantity in Basket:None
crustacean, etc.)
Ages: 7 and up
No. of Players: 2-6
Kids love to play games that are fast-paced, quick-to-grasp, lively, and yes, competitive. We've captured all those traits, wrapped them into a simple concept and snuck in a healthy dose of learning. The result is Quick Pix - now in five versions!
We originally produced Quick Pix as a fun way to incorporate adding and subtracting facts. Like many parents and teachers, we found the traditional flash cards to be tedious. The Quick Pix game concept proved so popular that we quickly came up with more versions. They're all a blast to play over and over again and are much better alternative to flash cards.
Each game features a set of problem and answer cards. Players need to be the first to match the correct answer card to the problem card that is turned over. To win, you must think quickly, match faster and capture as many card pairs as possible.
Available in the following games:
Quick Pix Animals -- Which group an animal belongs to (reptile, bird, crustacean, etc.)
Quick Pix Geography -- in what region of the world (Western Europe, South America, etc.) countries are located
Quick Pix Math -- Commonly used addition and subtraction facts
Quick Pix Multiplication -- Commonly used multiplication facts
Quick Pix Money -- Recognizing and adding different coin values
Quick Pix is the #1 Kids' Pick!

Serena Williams wanted to resist but could not quite help herself. After requiring only 47 sun-dappled minutes to see off Anna Chakvetadze 6-0, 6-1, on Court Two, the reigning women's champion was asked her feelings on having been dispatched to one of the outer courts.
She said: "I have mixed feelings about that. You know, I don't think I should be out there. But in a way I feel like, you know, with my popularity, it's cool to see – when I was leaving, I stayed for a whileand I signed tons of autographs. A lot of these people can't get into the Centre Court and stuff. Other than that, that definitely made up for it, to see fans I wouldn't."
Nudged a little further on whether,as the champion, she really should have been on Centre Court or Court One she said: "Yeah, anything like that. I don't want to get too much into that. The only way to console me was, OK, I just saw so many kids, these little girls, these little boys.
"I gave some things away. It was fun. I didn't really think about it 'cause it was really late when the schedule came out. I mean, naturally I thought: 'Well, why wasn't I on Centre or at least No1?' I guess they wanted to put Roger [Federer] and everyone else there." Then the shutters were pulled down. "I'm over talking about it, so."
What the 28-year-old was at ease discussing was her earlier meeting with the Queen, during the monarch's first visit to Wimbledon since 1977. And with humour, too. Regarding her genuflection she said: "My bow didn't go the way I wanted. I didn't get my wrist action that I thought I would have, and then I got nervous. So my knee kind of got tight, and I felt a lot of pain in my left knee, so I couldn't get as low as I wanted to. I'm going to blame my injury.
"It was amazing to meet the Queen. I mean, it's just like history. Also to meet her at Wimbledon and then to have her come when she never comes out. It was a very, very – it was really an unbelievable moment."
Reminded that her sister, Venus, had said Serena would beat her in a curtsy-off Williams gushed: "Yeah, it was definitely too much hype. I feel like I had the number one curtsy and then I just got nervous. Next time I'll have to take more Advil. [a pain reliever] I definitely handle pressure way better on the court than off. No comparison."
Her opponent can back up that assessment. Chakvetadze, a Russian ranked 118th in the world, had little answer to Williams and was lucky to avoid the dreaded double-bagel. The American, though, still believes her game can improve. She added: "I just feel like I don't feel like I'm connecting with some shots. I'm framing some shots in practice. Obviously I feel like I played well today but mentally I just haven't felt it yet."

For a team that has had trouble scoring a lot of goals, 10 in the last two games is a beautiful thing.
The Canadiens, like they did on Tuesday in St. Louis, win another 5-2 game, and their two-game road trip comes to a successful close with the gang playing solid if not spectacular hockey. For example, their power play continues to fire blanks and….well….continues to suck.
Now it's a rumble with the Leafs on Saturday at the Bell to close out February. The March schedule is a bit of a bitch but that's for another time.
P.K. Subban opened the scoring just 1:49 into the game with a big blast after Manny Malhotra won the faceoff cleanly and got it back to our man. One slightly disturbing thing to note – Manny doesn't seem to be winning just about every faceoff like he did up until recently. If he's not doing that, should he be in the lineup?
And without mentioning Columbus goals because it's not important, the scoring continued with a Markov shot from the top of the circle, Max would notch his 30th, and in the third frame, Jacob De La Rose bagged his first NHL goal and then added another with the net empty.
P.K. would collect a couple of assists to go with his goal, and his 47 points is good for second best behind Max's 53. Max needs 10 more goals in 21 games to hit 40. Can he do it?
Devante Smith-Pelly had a couple of decent shots on goal, and although he didn't overwhelm, he's probably still in a bit of a stunned mode considering he was an Anaheim Duck just a few days ago and has had just one practice with his new team. I was hoping we'd see more physical play from him, but I'm a patient man.
Smith-Pelly worked the right side, usually with De La Rose and Brandon Prust, but at times things were juggled around because he has a coach named Michel Therrien, and he also saw a small amount of time on the power play.
The new guy wore number 21, and I don't know if you'll find this interesting or not, but Toe Blake, in his first season with the Canadiens in 1935-36 after coming over from the Maroons, wore number 21. But from 1937 until the end of his career in 1948, number 6 was Toe's.
One question lingered as I watched the game unfold. How did that whole row of fans wearing Habs jerseys get tickets right behind the Canadiens bench?
Random Notes:
Shots on goal were 27 apiece.
The photo at the top is one of my vintage popcorn boxes. Here's some more. Very proud of my mint boxes, which date back to the early and mid-20th century.
Just what you wanted to see on a hockey blog, right?

HOPES of reopening Leith Waterworld have been dealt a blow after city council officials recommended rejecting the community bid to take over the pool – saying it should be put back on the market instead.
Campaign group Splashback is "concerned" with the view – which has been branded narrow in its focus – especially given the fact roughly 16,000 children cannot swim by the time they leave Edinburgh's primary schools.
The group wants to make waves by turning the pool into a community hub, remodelling the entrance and creating a new three-tier soft play area, a party room for hire and a cafe. It said longer opening hours and the new facilities would help reduce the subsidy needed to run the venue from the previous £340,000 a year to just under £20,000 a year after three years.
A report by officials, due to be considered by councillors next week, said the Splashback proposal was not commercially viable and did not offer best value. It claimed the proposals would "place a significant financial burden and risk on the council".
But the Labour-SNP administration – which has declared its ambition of creating a "co-operative council", involving local people in the running of services – will be under pressure to take a more favourable view.
Splashback's Johnny Gailey said: "We are concerned officials have misunderstood some of the costs, despite working with us for four months.
"We consider our proposal is the only realistic solution."
The report said plans for volunteers to help supervise the pool carried "a significant risk" but Splashback insisted they would be in addition to a full staff.
Leith Green councillor Chas Booth said: "This narrowly-focused report does not do justice to the huge community, health and social benefits which a revitalised Leith Waterworld will bring."
The administration did not indicate how it planned to react to the report.
Making waves
LEITH Waterworld opened in May 1992 on the site of the former Leith Central Station.
The decision to close and sell the pool was taken in 2005. Splashback campaigned vigorously to keep the pool open, but it shut in January 2012.
The following month the council put off the sale deadline so a community bid could be put together.
Splashback's initial bid was rejected in September 2012, but the council agreed to help them submit a new bid by January 2013.
The full council will decide on Thursday whether or not to accept the proposals.
