Update: now on the new domain!
Hi everybody! In light of opening the client code for contributors, we've decided to also set up a proper test environment. If you want to be the first to see new features and to help us make sure they actually work, welcome to https://atwar-game-test.com!
Test site uses a test service and test database, so everything is completely separated from the live site. You will have to create a new account, as your old account password wouldn't work (privacy concerns!). We'd also advice not to use the same password you're using on the live site.
There are currently two very small updates there, courtesy of Safari and Clovis:
- Saving your preferred color. When entering a game and selecting color, it should be automatically preset the next time you enter the game (if not already taken). The preset gets erased when you close your browser.
- Bug fixed: after merging air units with land units correct range should now be displayed.
We've tested these already and they seem to work, but feel free to give them a go.
These updates are baby steps for now, as we still don't have a resident programmer. Having a proper test enviroment will really help to get things going though, as it's always a very time consuming part of the development process.

How to enable DKIM for a cpanel account
- DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) defines a mechanism by which email messages can be cryptographically signed, permitting a signing domain to claim responsibility for the introduction of a message into the mail stream. Message recipients can verify the signature by querying the signer's domain directly to retrieve the appropriate public key, and thereby confirm that the message was attested to by a party in possession of the private key for the signing domain.
- To verify that everything is setup correctly you can send an email from an email account on that domain to [email protected] No need to have a subject or body. This service will then reply with a message stating the verification of DKIM, DomainKeys, SPF, SpamAssassin, and Sender-ID. Great tool to test all kinds of email verification systems.
To install on a cPanel server:
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/dkim_keys_install <username> or for i in `ls /var/cpanel/users`; do /usr/local/cpanel/bin/dkim_keys_install $i; done
- Add the Policy Record
_domainkey IN TXT "t=y; o=~; n=Interim Sending Domain Policy; [email protected]"
General webmail and email permission guidelines for cPanel servers
Below are some baseline permissions that should be used with Exim and Dovecot:
domain.com file should have: permissions: 750 ownership: username:mail
passwd permissions: 640 ownership: user:mail quota permissions: 640 ownership: user:mail shadow permissions: 640 ownership: user:user
700 user:user cur/ 751 user:user domain.com/ 700 user:user anything else
If email accounts are not showing up in cPanel for a specific cpanel user be sure to check /home/$user/etc to make sure the passwd file and shadow file have proper permissions also make sure they are located in
If all the permissions are correct and the directories are owned by the user, try restarting cpanel mail services to see if this helps resolve the issue.
If you run into a Roundcube error like "unable to connect to database", the best thing to do is to drop the database, then re-install roundcube, which automatically re-creates the db. Make sure you backup the database before you drop it, or else you risk lots of possible data loss
cd /home/temp mysqldump roundcube > roundcube.sql mysql -e "drop database roundcube;" /usr/local/cpanel/bin/update-roundcube --force
If you are running into spam issues you can run the command below to find top sending IPs in exim logs:
grep "SMTP connection from" /var/log/exim_mainlog |grep "connection count" |awk '{print $7}' |cut -d ":" -f 1 |cut -d "[" -f 2 |cut -d "]" -f 1 |sort -n |uniq -c | sort -n
Find authenticated users who may be spamming:
find /var/spool/exim/input/ -name '*-H' | xargs grep 'auth_id'
Spam comming from scripts:
grep cwd=\/home\/ /var/log/exim_mainlog| cut -d' ' -f4 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
Removing all queued messages at once in a safe way:
exim -bp | awk '/^ *[0-9]+[mhd]/{print "exim -Mrm " $3}' | sh
Or you can do the same from the mail queue manager in WHM.
APF SMTP tweak enables mail to be sent only from the mail or mailman GID, and blocks all outbound SMTP, except through the sendmail binary. Add this bold line of code to /etc/init.d/apf , right underneath the start) case:
/usr/local/sbin/apf --start >> /dev/null 2>&1 '''/scripts/smtpmailgidonly on''' echo_success
If you are having issues with Proftp connections or with authentication. Check the Proftp configuration file below and make sure that "AuthPAM" is actually on.
vim /etc/proftpd.conf AuthPAM on
If you want to make sure PureFTP is using FTPES, edit /etc/pure-ftpd.conf and uncomment (enable) the PassivePortRange line, like below.
# Port range for passive connections replies. - for firewalling. PassivePortRange 30000 50000
APF - /etc/apf/conf.apf
# Common ingress (inbound) TCP ports IG_TCP_CPORTS="20,21,22,25,53,80,110,143,443,465,993,995,2082,2083,2084,2086,2087,2095,2096,3306,6666,7786,30000_50000" # Common egress (outbound) TCP ports EG_TCP_CPORTS="21,25,80,443,43,30000_50000"
CSF - /etc/csf/csf.conf
# Allow incoming TCP ports TCP_IN = "20,21,22,25,53,80,110,143,443,465,953,993,995,2077,2078,2082,2083,2086,2087,2095,2096,30000:50000" # Allow outgoing TCP ports TCP_OUT = "20,21,22,25,37,43,53,80,110,113,443,587,873,953,2087,2089,2703,30000:50000"
If you are encountering vsftp timeout issues or strange dns like issues with vsftp check the vsftpd configuration file and make sure that reverse_lookup_enable is set to no
/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf: reverse_lookup_enable=NO
Common configuration settings
- The main configuration file to edit is /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, which by default also reaches out to include any additional configuration files in the conf.d directory and any virtual host files in the sites-enabled directory.
- http://www.howtoforge.com/configuring-your-lemp-system-linux-nginx-mysql-php-fpm-for-maximum-performance
- worker_processes in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf. This should be equal to the amount of CPU cores the server has.
worker_processes $CPUs;
- worker_connections defines how many connections each worker process is allowed to handle
- worker_processes x worker_connections tells the maximum amount of HTTP connections possible at any moment
File cache settings
http { [...] ## # File Cache Settings ## open_file_cache max=5000 inactive=20s; open_file_cache_valid 30s; open_file_cache_min_uses 2; open_file_cache_errors on;
Gzip This will compress content at the expense of a little extra CPU, but it will save a lot of bandwidth.
Conflicting Server Name Error
Check for duplicates/system users:
grep -i domain.com /var/cpanel/users/*
If there is a domain entry owned by "system" remove this file:
rm /var/cpanel/users/system
Then run:

Kernel Stuff
Tools and Utilities used to build a kernel
gcc --version
- Used to compile the kernel
ld -v
- Tools used to assist when compiling the kernel
make --version
- Used to determine which files are needed to compile the kernel
Tools and Utilities to use the kernel
fdformat --version
- Used to handle mounting of disks
depmod -V
- Used to load kernel modules and remove them
File System Tools
- Used to handle the file systems such as ext4
Command to see what modules are loaded:
See all modules, even if they are not loaded:
modprobe -l
Get detailed information on a module:
modinfo $module
Remove a module (assuming no other dependents are using it):
modprobe -r $module
See all kernel settings
sysctl -a
TCP_FIN_TIMEOUT This setting determines the time that must elapse before TCP/IP can release a closed connection and reuse its resources. During this TIME_WAIT state, reopening the connection to the client costs less than establishing a new connection. By reducing the value of this entry, TCP/IP can release closed connections faster, making more resources available for new connections. Addjust this in the presense of many connections sitting in the TIME_WAIT state:
# echo 30 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fin_timeout (default: 60 seconds, recommended 15-30 seconds)
Steps to compile and customize a kernel
The steps below will download the kernel source, decompress it, then will make the kernel with the default options.
mkdir $place to put the kernel cd $place to put the kernel wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.9.tar.xz xz -d linux-3.9.tar.xz tar -xvf linux-3.9.tar cd linux-3.9/ make defconfig
From here, we can customize the kernel further.
make menuconfig
Options when using menuconfig:
[*] = Selected, if no star then not selected <Y> = Select module to be built into the Kernel <M> = Select module to be built as a module to be loaded, but not built into the kernel

mailq | grep ^[A-Z\|0-9] | awk '{print $7}' | cut [email protected] -f2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -15
Once you figure out senders or whatever, you can do something like this to either delete the email or put it in the hold queue
Put in hold queue
mailq | grep $someshittydomain.com | awk '{print $1}' | postsuper -h -
Delete the emails
mailq | grep $someshittydomain.com | awk '{print $1}' | postsuper -d -
If these commands dont remove all the emails, you might need to use cut to get rid of the "!" or "*" which sometimes get placed at the end of the email id

Creating ZFS Pool
This will list available devices to use
ls -l /dev/disk/by-id
Once you determine what devices to use, this command will create the pool
zpool create -o ashift=12 $name $raidz_type /dev/disk/by-id/$$ /dev/disk/by-id/$$ /dev/disk/by-id/$$
- -o ashift=12 means "use 4K blocksizes instead of the default 512 byte blocksizes," which is appropriate on almost all modern drives.
ZFS Commands
This will display raw capacity status
zpool list
This will display usable status
zfs list
You can create "filesystems" which are much like pre-formated paritions or folders.
zfs create $zfs_vol/$folder_name
You can and should create multiple filesystems so that you can manage each partition individually. If you have groups of content that you seperate already, then it makes sense to create multiple filesystems, such as images, movies, txt files, etc. By doing this you can take advantage of ZFS's settings.
zfs set compression=on $zfs_vol/textfiles zfs set quota=200G $zfs_vol/jpegs
View CPU Temps in Cent 6.5
For most new CPUs and Mobos this should be pretty simple to do. For this example, I'm using a newer SuperMicro Motherboard.
## Install the package yum -y install lm_sensors ## Detect the sensors, should be fine to say YES to all the questions sensors-detect ## If everything installed correctly, you should see all the CPU core temps sensors
Example output, for this example I am using an Intel E5-1650v2
coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Physical id 0: +47.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +90.0°C) Core 0: +47.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +90.0°C) Core 1: +44.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +90.0°C) Core 2: +41.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +90.0°C) Core 3: +40.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +90.0°C) Core 4: +40.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +90.0°C) Core 5: +39.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +90.0°C)
Linux Memory Usage Overview
- http://virtualthreads.blogspot.com/2006/02/understanding-memory-usage-on-linux.html
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7880784/what-is-rss-and-vsz-in-linux-memory-management
There are two commonly displayed values for Linux RAM usage. When using a tool like ps, you often times see VSZ and RSS.
VSZ: "VSZ is the Virtual Memory Size. It includes all memory that the process can access, including memory that is swapped out and memory that is from shared libraries. "
RSS: "RSS is the Resident Set Size and is used to show how much memory is allocated to that process and is in RAM. It does not include memory that is swapped out. It does include memory from shared libraries as long as the pages from those libraries are actually in memory. It does include all stack and heap memory.
- RSS And VSZ do not accurately represent the real RAM usage for a process, they report the total RAM the process would use if it were the only process running, but many processes share memory if they use the same shared libraries.
- Shared libraries like libc are commonly used by many different applications, Linux is able to load the library once into RAM, and then multiple processes can re-use the same library at the same time without having to duplicate the library which would use more RAM. Linux is very efficient because of its ability to share libraries among many processes.
You can use pmap to get more specific memory usage information from a process.
pmap -d $PID
An example command is:
pmap -d 15441 Address Kbytes Mode Offset Device Mapping .... .... 00007f574e0a4000 8 rw--- 0000000000003000 0fc:00003 cStringIO.so 00007f574e0a6000 20 r-x-- 0000000000000000 0fc:00003 stropmodule.so 00007f574e0ab000 2044 ----- 0000000000005000 0fc:00003 stropmodule.so 00007f574e2aa000 8 rw--- 0000000000004000 0fc:00003 stropmodule.so 00007f574e2ac000 12 r-x-- 0000000000000000 0fc:00003 timemodule.so 00007f574e2af000 2048 ----- 0000000000003000 0fc:00003 timemodule.so 00007f574e4af000 8 rw--- 0000000000003000 0fc:00003 timemodule.so 00007f5754477000 540 rw--- 0000000000000000 000:00000 [ anon ] 00007f5754507000 12 rw--- 0000000000000000 000:00000 [ anon ] 00007fff09ca1000 112 rw--- 0000000000000000 000:00000 [ stack ] 00007fff09dff000 4 r-x-- 0000000000000000 000:00000 [ anon ] ffffffffff600000 4 r-x-- 0000000000000000 000:00000 [ anon ] mapped: 196340K writeable/private: 9372K shared: 0K
- The lines that have "r-x--" are considered the code segments.
- The lines that have "rw---" are considered the data segments.
- The important information here is the "writeable/private" value, which is the incremental cost of the process once you remove all the other shared libraries that were already loaded / can be used by other processes.
Using an Apache process for another example:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND nobody 22696 0.0 4.9 649624 49548 ? Sl 17:45 0:01 \_ /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -k start -DSSL
- VSZ reports 649624K, or about 634MB
- RSS reports 49548K, or about 48MB
Running pmap on that PID we see:
pmap -d 22696 .... .... mapped: 649624K writeable/private: 63292K shared: 184140K
- writeable/private: 63292K, or around 63MB, you can see that much of this process is using shared libraries.
Storm and LiquidWeb API
You can find API documentation at the link listed below.
If you have issues using the Liquid Web API the first step would be to run a simple curl command to make sure you can connect to the API and that are you using the correct user name and password. Please replace $API_USER and $API_PASS with your credentials. PLEASE be aware that this is not the most secure way to test this, you might want to throw this command into a file and run it that way, otherwise your credentials will be on the server's history, obviously this is not preferred.' You can create a temporary API user just to test, then remove the user or update the password.

Docker run command line examples
This command will run a container in interactive mode and will put you in the container as soon as it is started.
docker run -i -t -p $IP:$HostPort:$ContainerPort -v $HostDirectory:$ContainerDirectory $Image $Command
An Example Command would be if you wanted to run a container with Apache that listens on port 80 in the container, and port 9000 on the host. We will also have the container use a directory on the host so that data persists even if the container is stopped or killed
docker run -p 126.96.36.199:9000:80 -v /partition1:/parition1 doge/apache:latest /usr/sbin/apache2ctl -D FOREGROUND

Gianna Jessen, Jim Kelly, Sarah Smith, Sarah Brown, Ana Rosa Rodriguez, Baby Claire, Baby Grace, Baby Hope. These are not names well known in America. But they should be. They are the names of a few of the survivors of the longest, deadliest war in U.S. history: the 30-year Abortion War.
Wars are brutal, terrible things, inflicting death, destruction, and misery on whole populations. One of the most terrible and common features of war is its destructive impact on moral conscience and common decency. The "enemy" is frequently reduced through propaganda to subhuman status to justify the most atrocious behavior by "our" side. In the past three decades of the Abortion War, nearly 40 million children have been brutally murdered in the womb in the United States alone. This has been possible, largely, because of the effectiveness of an insidious propaganda campaign that has succeeded in convincing millions of Americans that the defenseless, unborn child is not a baby, a human, a tiny person, a gift from God, but merely a depersonalized blob of "tissue," to be disposed of if it interferes with one's life plans or career trajectory.
Sarah Smith, Ana Rosa Rodriguez, Gianna Jessen, and their fellow survivors are unanswerable, living refutations of this incredible lie. They are "blobs of tissue" who survived "botched" abortions. Against all odds, their lives were preserved to bear witness against the spirit of this age which counsels that convenience, self-indulgence, and self-worship are the highest good. The refusal of the pro-abortion Establishment media to report their stories is understandable; any coverage of these survivors devastatingly exposes the lie. Any photograph of these miraculous survivors instantly, visually establishes the fact of their humanness.
Defending Life
Gianna Jessen is a beautiful, bubbly, talented young lady whose singing and testimony have delighted, moved, and inspired audiences worldwide. Twenty-two years ago, Gianna was scheduled for an appointment with death. Because her mother was already in the 24th week of her pregnancy, the abortionist opted for the saline method. The doctor injected a saline (salt water) solution into the amniotic fluid surrounding baby Gianna. In this type of abortion, the caustic, toxic saline solution slowly poisons the baby while burning its tender skin. Gianna was supposed to be delivered dead the following day. But God, apparently, had other plans for this little one. Gianna was born alive, though small, premature, and badly burned and injured from the saline abortion. A nurse rushed her from the abortion clinic to a hospital, where she spent the first three months of her infancy. She was then placed with a foster family specializing in high-risk babies.
The doctors said Gianna would never be able to sit up by herself, let alone walk, run, jump, and play like "normal" children. The abortion procedure had deprived her brain of oxygen and had left her with severe cerebral palsy. But at the age of three she was defying the medical experts and walking with the aid of a walker. She has undergone a number of painful operations that have enhanced her muscular control and coordination. This writer first interviewed Gianna in 1991, when she was 14 years old ("The Lone Survivor," December 31, 1991). "I still limp," the effervescent teenager said, "but I can walk, run, dance, and jump. Maybe not as well as you or a lot of other people, but I do O.K. for me." In a recent telephone interview, Gianna told The New American that she has added rock climbing to her repertoire of athletic skills.
For the past decade, since the age of 12, when she discovered the truth about her birth, Gianna has been a highly effective champion for the pro-life cause. With an angelic singing voice, a winning personality, and a uniquely compelling and heroic survival story, she has dramatically impacted audiences worldwide. She has spoken at schools, churches, and pro-life conferences throughout the United States and in England, Ireland, Spain, India, Australia, and Mexico.
She also testified before the Constitution Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee on April 22, 1996. On that occasion she said: "I am happy to be alive. I almost died. Every day I thank God for life. I do not consider myself a by-product of conception, a clump of tissue, or any other of the titles given to a child in the womb. I do not consider any person conceived to be any of those things."
Gianna continued:
I have met other survivors of abortion. They are all thankful for life.... When I speak, I speak not only for myself, but for the other survivors … and also those who cannot yet speak....
Today, a baby is a baby when convenient. It is tissue or otherwise when the time is not right. A baby is a baby when miscarriage takes place at two, three, four months. A baby is called a tissue or clumps of cells when an abortion takes place at two, three, four months. Why is that? I see no difference.
"The best thing I can show you to defend life is my life," Gianna told the lawmakers. "It has been a great gift." Yet only two of the 13 congressmen on the subcommittee were on hand to hear Gianna's moving testimony. Abortion supporter Patricia Schroeder (D-Colo.), who boycotted the hearing, protested that it was intended to "undermine the public's consistent and overwhelming support for Roe v. Wade."
But other audiences have been more interested in, and more receptive to, Gianna's story. Teen audiences, especially, have responded enthusiastically to her Christian testimony and her courageous advocacy of teen chastity in an age of "safe sex" promiscuity. Although her amazing story has been largely censored by the pro-abort media, thanks to The Maury Povich Show, The 700 Club, and Focus on the Family, Gianna's story has reached national television and radio audiences. In 1995, Dr. James Dobson's Focus on the Family published a biography of Gianna, entitled Gianna: Aborted and Lived to Tell About It.
Gianna continues to polish her singing talents. She is currently working on an album with renowned guitarist Phil Keaggy, due out this year. It is exciting working with a musician, composer, and lyricist of Mr. Keaggy's stature, she told The New American, but becoming a recording "star" is not her ambition. "My real ambition is to become a fearless Christian," she said. Gianna was schooled at home by her adoptive mother, Diana DePaul, and is planning to begin taking correspondence classes from Moody Bible College.
And what does Gianna Jessen see herself doing ten years from now? "Being a good wife and mother," she says unhesitatingly. "Not that I'm in a rush to get married now, but a good husband and children — that's what I want."
A Representative of the Dead
All babies are miracles, of course, but Sarah Smith's birth, like that of Gianna Jessen, was doubly miraculous. Sarah's near-death experience preceded Gianna's by several years, in 1970, before Roe v. Wade. Sarah's mother, Betty, did not know she was carrying twins when she went to the abortionist in Los Angeles. The abortionist, apparently, did not realize it either; his search-and-destroy mission yielded only one tiny victim.
"Somehow, miraculously, I survived!" says Sarah. "My twin brother wasn't so lucky. Andrew was aborted and we lost him forever. Several weeks later, my mother was shocked to feel me kicking in her womb. She already had five children and she knew what it felt like when a baby kicked in the womb. She instantly knew that somehow she was still pregnant." Sarah's mother went back to the doctor and told him she was still pregnant, that she had made a big mistake and that she wanted to keep this baby.
"To this day, my mother deeply regrets that abortion," says Sarah. "I know the pain is unbearable for her at times when she looks at me and knows she aborted my twin brother. Mom says 'the protective hand of Almighty God saved my life,' that God's hand covered and hid me in her womb, and protected me from the scalpel of death."
Sarah survived the abortion, but was born with bilateral, congenital dislocated hips and many other physical handicaps. Nine days after her birth she was taken to an orthopedic surgeon who applied a cast to each of her tiny legs. "My mom would remove these casts with pliers every Monday morning and take me to the doctor to have new casts put on," she recounts. "At six weeks I was put into my first body cast. Many surgeries and body casts followed over the next few years."
Sarah's life has been painful in many ways, and her future holds more painful surgeries for her. Yet Sarah says she continually thanks God she survived the abortion. But the pain is not hers alone and not merely physical. The emotional pain continues, she says, for everyone in her family. "In memory of my brother Andrew, we bought a memorial gravestone and placed it in a cemetery in Southern California. It reads: Andrew James Smith, Twin Brother of Sarah — in our hearts you'll always be alive — November 1970."
On April 24, 1996, Sarah Smith delivered a powerful address at the international "Congress for Life" in Rome, organized by the Legionaries of Christ to celebrate the first anniversary of Pope John Paul II's encyclical letter Evangelium Vitae — The Gospel of Life. Sarah told the conference how she came to discover the dreadful secret that she had somehow intuitively felt:
I did not know of the abortion until I was 12 years old. I grew up feeling that I was the same as my friends, except for having numerous surgeries and physical complications. The only difference I felt was an incredible loneliness and a knowledge that something was missing. I never felt whole.
I battled with severe depression and found myself dying of anorexia nervosa at age 12, when my mother knew it was time to tell me the truth. She sat next to me and took my hand and looked me in the eyes and said, "Sarah, you are a twin. I aborted your twin brother and tried to abort you. Please know I did not know what I was doing and I pray someday you are able to forgive me. I love you and need you to know that you are a welcome part of our family."
At that moment I knew what I had been missing all my life and that I was called to something much greater than I had knowledge of. Immediately I felt the overwhelming pain of the knowledge that I should be dead.
"As I stand before you today," Sarah told her Rome audience, "I am painfully aware that this is only possible because my twin brother took a scalpel for me, and I stand in his place and memory, giving him honor and a face." Statistics are coldly impersonal and cannot convey the human tragedy of the abortion slaughter. "Thirty-two million babies [have been] killed in the United States alone," she noted. "Yet every one had a face, a life, a Creator who loved them and created them in His image. As you look at me today, you realize that I am no different than you, yet I stand before you today a representative of the dead — a representative of the innocent lives who today may lose their lives. Who will speak for them? The words of Christ are clear — 'What you have done to the least of these you have done unto me.' You and I are called and commissioned to care for these little ones just as we would care for Jesus Himself. To walk away and say this is not my problem is to walk away from Jesus Himself."
Sarah Smith challenged her listeners with these moving words:
Many people upon finding out about the abortion ask me how did I feel, or to what can I compare this to. The only thing I can compare my life to is that of an innocent Jew being made to walk down the streets of Germany naked in front of many people and into a room he knows he will never come out of. In my case, unfortunately, the people leading me into that room are my mother and father. Yet the people looking on at the sidelines are people like you. And I ask you today, will you speak up or will you silently look away as another person who needs your help is led to their death? I have forgiven my parents long ago as I remember the words Jesus spoke as he hung bleeding and bruised from the cross, "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do."
His words pertain to the sins of abortion. Most men and women who involve themselves with abortion don't know what they're doing, as [was the case with] my parents. Many women who demand the right to an abortion say, "It's my body, it's my choice." Let me make one thing very clear to you today — my mother's choice was my death sentence. It is not only a woman's body we are discussing in an abortion. It is the entire flesh and blood of someone just like me.
Like Gianna Jessen, Sarah Smith has traveled to many countries to speak out against abortion and the culture of death, and to call people to the Gospel of Life in Jesus Christ. This courageous warrior for Life is currently undergoing more painful surgery and requests the prayers of fellow believers.
The Oldest Survivor
Unlike Sarah Smith and Gianna Jessen, Jim Kelly is largely unknown, even to the pro-life community. Although he is the oldest abortion survivor we are aware of, he has told his story publicly only once, to a pro-life rally on the steps of the state capitol in Sacramento, California. Like Sarah Smith, Jim Kelly is a surviving twin. His twin sister, Katherine Marie Kelly, was killed by his mother in a self-inflicted abortion 50 years ago, in 1949.
Although he did not suffer his sister's cruel fate, Jim Kelly's life has not been an easy or cheerful one, by most standards. His mother was a troubled woman who had nine children (including the aborted Katherine Marie) by five different men, only one of whom she ever married. Jim Kelly never met his father. Although he was too young to remember, Mr. Kelly told The New American he was physically abused by one of the men his mother lived with (his ankle was broken and his hands burned). His mother placed him in foster care while he was still very young and he was raised in a series of foster homes and institutions, where he also suffered physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.
The greatest pain for him, however, was the lifelong feeling of rejection and the craving for his mother's affection and approval. Jim learned of his mother's abortion and the death of his twin sister when he was 27 years old. He had become a Christian several years earlier and had intellectually forgiven his mother for abandoning him and for her continued rejection of him, but he still struggled with feelings of anger, resentment, and loss. He worked untiringly to bring his dysfunctional family together and succeeded, in large measure, with his brother and half-brothers, but was unable to break through his mother's estrangement toward him. "I always tried to be the good son, and to help her and win her love," but she would not allow that, he says. "I think her cold, unloving attitude toward me was a projection of the guilt she felt over the abortion, and her expectation that I would feel negatively toward her because of it. But that was never the case; I just wanted to be loved and accepted by her."
Although he did not hold it against his brothers, it compounded his grief to see his mother extend affection to them while continuing to keep him at arm's length. In the final hours of her life, however, Jim Kelly says he thinks his mother "finally found resolution." She died in February of 1999 from cancer of the throat. "My brothers and I were there and I held her hand and she held mine," he recounted, his voice swelled with emotion. "She couldn't speak, but there was a difference in her eyes and the way she looked at me. I think that at the threshold of death she realized that I did love her, and she really did have some love for me."
Does Jim Kelly ever wish that he had been spared his tumultuous and painful life, that he had also been aborted with his sister? Although he did try to commit suicide once as a teenager, while in an institution, he says he is glad to be alive. And, he adds, "Thank God there were no Planned Parenthood abortion clinics at the time I was born or I wouldn't have survived; they would have finished the job."
According to Jim Kelly, his life is proof of the truism that God works in mysterious ways. "As negative as so many of my life experiences have been, I wouldn't trade any of them now," he says. Those experiences have given him compassion and psychological insights that are invaluable to his vocation as a social worker. "I can build bridges, I can reach people who can't be reached by your so-called 'professionals,' because I've been there, I know what they're going through. And they can see that I'm not just relating something I read in a psychology textbook."
Snow Baby & Vacuum Child
Twenty years ago Christelle Morrison was aborted and left to die naked and helpless in the snow. At 28 weeks of gestation, Baby Christelle was a mere two pounds, a difficult entry into life under the best of circumstances. But after surviving the abortion, she was abandoned on a bitter cold, 15-degree, Nevada winter night. She was blue and lifeless when found and rushed to a rural emergency clinic. Like Lazarus, however, she came back to life when the clinic physician placed her in a tub of warm water. She was rushed to the Medical Center in Reno, where registered nurse Susan Walker and other personnel gave her intensive, loving care. Three months after her traumatic "birth," the tiny, three-pound Christelle underwent and survived heart surgery.
Susan Walker and her husband adopted this throw-away miracle baby, who is now a young lady. According to Mrs. Walker, Christelle is "bright, beautiful, strong and healthy, and probably the most loving person you could ever meet! She is a living testimony of God's tremendous power and love and of the value of each and every unborn child."
In 1978, Tina Huffman was a pregnant, unwed 17-year-old from a broken, dysfunctional home. Her mom and dad, as well as her boyfriend's parents, adamantly insisted she had only one option: abortion. Tina yielded to their demands and had a suction abortion. But the abortionist "missed" Baby Heidi, even though he took most of the placenta and amniotic fluid. Heidi was delivered by C-section several months later. From her earliest years, Heidi attended pro-life rallies, programs and conferences with her mom, and then graduated to picketing and sidewalk counseling at abortion clinics. She is now 21 years old.
Tiny Witnesses
Lauren Pulliam was never supposed to leave the Planned Parenthood abortion mill alive. She was supposed to leave as lifeless "tissue" in the trash. However, as in the case of Heidi Huffman, the would-be assassin in the medical frock "goofed." When Lauren's mom, an unmarried teenager, returned to the abortuary for a checkup, she learned she was still pregnant; Lauren was still there. The Planned Parenthood vultures tried to reschedule her for another session to kill the baby, but she fled their deadly clutches. The troubled teen went to a "respected" obstetrician who, after conducting an ultra-sound, informed her that the baby had "abnormalities" and suggested she should consider re-aborting. But Lauren's mother refused and carried her almost to full term. Lauren was born one month early. Lauren's grandparents, who had tried to stop their daughter from having an abortion in the first place and had earnestly prayed for the baby's life, had their prayers answered. "Our daughter was in labor only twenty minutes," says Lauren's grandmother, Pat Pulliam. "The baby was six pounds and absolutely perfect in every way.... Our daughter has been chosen to know the fullness of Christ's love, care and forgiveness. Our lives will never be the same."
Nine-year-old Ana Rosa Rodriguez was a 32-week-old "fetus" when her mother, Rosa, went to the New York City abortion chamber of "Doctor" Abu Hayat, the notorious "Butcher of Avenue A." Even though abortions after the 24th week of pregnancy are illegal under New York law, this was going to be just another of the thousands of routine, late-term abortions performed annually in the state. According to Rosa, who was then 20 years old, she told Hayat that she had changed her mind and didn't want to go through with the abortion. "He said that it was impossible to stop, that I had to continue," she told New York Newsday. According to Rosa, Hayat's assistants held her down while he sedated her. When she awoke, she was told that the abortion was incomplete and that she should come back the following day. That evening, however, she experienced increasing pain and bleeding. Her mother took her to Jamaica Hospital by taxi, where, five hours later, Baby Ana Rosa was born. But Hayat had left his mark upon her; Ana Rosa's tiny right arm had been torn off in the brutal abortion attempt. Ana Rosa has disappeared from public view, but when last reported, in 1996, she was a perfectly healthy, beautiful, little girl, aside from the abortionist's stigmata, which she will always bear.
Little Baby Claire is also missing her right arm. Like Ana Rosa, it was wrenched from her helpless body in the sanctuary of her mother's womb. Her Korean mother was unmarried and considered abortion to be the only "solution" to her problem. Claire, considered undesirable and "unplaceable" in Korea, was adopted and brought to the United States by an American couple whose warm and loving family already included their own four biological children — triplet boys Joshua, Jonathan, and Jeremy, and their sister Caitlin — and a severely disabled, adopted daughter from Taiwan named Carissa.
Claire was one year old when she came to America. A year later she "celebrated" her second birthday by having hip surgery. For six weeks the energetic two-year-old was immobilized in a body cast. As her adopted grandmother, Jean Garton, says, it could have been a 42-day-long "Maalox moment" for the whole family. But that's when sister Carissa came to the rescue. Carissa was born with severe head deformities: She has a severe cleft palate, and no lower jaw, making speech difficult, and difficult to understand. But there's nothing wrong with her loving heart. With infinite patience, she took care of her little cast-bound sister. "What could have brought chaos to the family turned into something wonderful," Mrs. Garton relates. "Carissa became Claire's missing hand and Claire became Carissa's voice." When others in the family can't understand what Carissa is saying, Claire pipes up with the translation.
On August 4, 1999, "Baby Grace" was born at Good Samaritan Hospital in Dayton, Ohio. She was a victim of an abortion clinic run by Martin Haskell, who helped "pioneer" the partial-birth abortion procedure. She was born when her mother went into labor prematurely, during the early phase of that barbaric procedure, which, according to Dr. Haskell, happens in one out of one hundred cases. Baby Grace was born during her mother's 26th week of pregnancy. She survived and is now in foster care.
In addition to these still-living survivors, there are also other little victims who struggled valiantly for hours, weeks, or years, before called from their mortal coils. Four months before Baby Grace's miraculous arrival, "Baby Hope," a 25-week-old little girl, was born at Bethesda North Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio on April 7, 1999. Like Baby Grace, she was a victim of Martin Haskell's abortuary. The hospital doctors on duty claim they were unable to do anything for her. Emergency room technician Shelly Lowe held the baby until she died three hours and eight minutes after her birth. Lowe said that her whole view of abortion has changed since that experience. "I was always pro-choice, and I've changed to pro-life," she said. "This is a baby that could be alive right now."
The same could be said for Sarah Brown. Sarah Brown's mother had carried her to full term, 36 weeks, when she decided to abort her baby. That was on July 13, 1993. The abortionist stabbed Sarah in the brain three times with a needle filled with poison. But something went "wrong"; two days later she was born live in a Wichita, Kansas, hospital. Bill and Marykay Brown obtained temporary custody of the baby within 24 hours of her birth and adopted her 30 days later. "For the first few months she seemed to be progressing normally, although she was blind," said Marykay Brown in a 1998 interview with National Right to Life News. "She had acute hearing, and was beginning to try to speak." But at about six months Sarah suffered a stroke and never fully recovered. Mrs. Brown says Sarah never spoke or walked, but "she recognized us and learned to smile."
Sarah was a constant joy to the Browns' seven other children, ranging in age from 18 to 12. "I can't remember a time when someone wasn't holding her, talking to her, playing with her," Marykay Brown told NRL News. Sarah died at home on September 28, 1998, surrounded by her loving family. While still alive, little Sarah Brown helped save other babies whose mothers decided not to abort after seeing her and hearing of her story. She continues to help save lives through Sarah Ministries, which the Brown family started to help pregnant women in need.
There are, undoubtedly, many other infant survivors like Baby Hope and Baby Grace whom we will never hear about. Most of these "mistakes" that are born alive are callously allowed to die from exposure and neglect in a sink or a trash can in the abortuary. Or, sometimes, the abortionist "assists" nature by strangling or drowning those babies who cling too tenaciously to life. Then, too, there surely are others who, like Jim Kelly, have reached adulthood and still do not know the truth surrounding their birth, or having learned of it have elected to keep this personal matter private.
But we are not really in need of more survivor examples to "prove" what should be blindingly obvious even to the most stone-hearted and obstinate. Sarah and Andrew Smith, Gianna Jessen, Sarah Brown, Ana Rosa Rodriguez, Jim and Kathryn Marie Kelly, Claire, Baby Hope, Baby Grace — these witnesses provide more than sufficient proof of the truth of the bumper-sticker slogan that "An abortion stops a beating heart," that abortion kills defenseless human beings, that abortion is an unmitigated evil and an inhuman, ghastly crime that cries out for justice. And woe unto us if we fail to listen to those cries and allow this dreadful slaughter of the innocents to continue.

Problems Remain with Health-Care Reform Bills
Pro-Life Supporters Ready Stand on Health-Care Overhaul
By Rich Daly
Register Correspondent
WASHINGTON — A unified health-care reform bill has not yet been offered by House Democratic leaders, but it is already drawing fire from pro-life and traditional-marriage supporters.
Legislation is expected soon that combines aspects of the health-care overhaul bills approved by three separate House committees in July. Those bills were generally similar, but included some differences, drawing sharp criticism from pro-life advocates.
An ominous sign took place Sept. 30, when the Senate Finance Committee rejected an amendment by Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, that would have explicitly prohibited federal funding and coverage of abortions and prevented discrimination against any individual or entity who refused to provide, pay for, provide coverage of or refer for abortions.
"We are expecting that the House bill made up from the three committees' [bills] will be bad on abortion," said Tom McClusky, vice president of Family Research Action, the political arm of the Family Research Council.
Pro-life advocates and members of Congress have been concerned that the House bills will offer federal funding for abortions through both the so-called public insurance option and through tax-payer subsidized premiums of private insurance plans offered in a new health insurance marketplace.
The Senate Finance Committee rejected two amendments Sept. 29 that would have added features of a public option — similar to Medicare — to the most moderate version of health-care reform. The government insurance component is included in all other major reform bills under consideration in Congress.
The impending House legislation led pro-life members of Congress to call for Democratic leaders to allow the entire chamber to vote on an amendment to bar all federal funding for abortion under the reform.
Separate letters from 31 House Democrats and more than 150 House Republicans to Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sept. 28 asked her to allow the full chamber to vote on amendments defunding abortion. One such amendment by Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., was defeated by one vote in committee in July.
"These provisions in these bills would represent a break from long-standing federal policy regarding federal funding for abortion," said Doug Johnson, legislative director of the National Right to Life Committee, about provisions of the House bills that would circumvent a 33-year-old ban on the use of federal taxpayer money to pay for elective abortions.
The federal funding ban extends to federal employee insurance policies, none of which can cover elective abortions.
Abortion supporters countered that they have sought compromise on the issue and highlighted adoption of an amendment by Rep. Lois Capps, D-Calif., that would allow the nearly 50% of women with private insurance that covers abortion to maintain coverage if they switch to the public option or a plan in the new insurance marketplace. The amendment specified that insurers pay for abortions solely through the beneficiaries' premiums, while taxpayers would only fund their other coverage.
"The only funds that may be used to pay for other abortion services are from private funds generated by the policyholders' premiums, whether the policyholder is covered by a private plan or the public option," Capps wrote in a September description of her amendment.
But pro-life advocates dismiss the distinction as an accounting trick to mask the highly unpopular reality of taxpayer-funded elective abortions.
'Conscience' Protections Needed
The Capps amendment also sought to address concerns that health-care workers could face pressures to participate in medical procedures that they view as immoral. Democratic leaders said the amendment would apply existing federal "conscience" protections to the new health-care programs.
But such statements have done little to reassure some Catholic medical professionals.
John Brehany, executive director of the Catholic Medical Association, said current federal conscience protections are an uncoordinated patchwork and narrowly focused.
"Given the increasing power and control that these bills would give to the federal government, [the conscience protections] well could prove completely inadequate," Brehany said.
End-of-Life Progress
One area where pro-life advocates hope to see progress is on provisions that had raised concerns about a government role in discouraging expensive late-life care. Some pro-life advocates expect the House leadership to drop provisions that would have required end-of-life counseling after critics roused concerns among seniors by labeling these and other provisions as "death panels." Pro-life advocates fear such counseling could easily go awry to encourage seriously ill seniors to give up expensive treatments that might save or prolong their lives.
"When the inevitable price pressures come, then it will be the government in charge and having the primary responsibility of cutting cost. That's wrong and a recipe for disaster," Brehany said.
At least some of the opposition to the end-of-life counseling stemmed from its origination from Compassion & Choices, a euthanasia-advocacy organization formerly known as the Hemlock Society USA.
Marriage Protection
Another area of concern for Christian groups is a provision expected in the unified House bill that would extend certain federal tax benefits of private insurance for heterosexual married couples to same-sex domestic partners. Based on language in the Tax Equity for Health Plan Beneficiaries Act of 2009, sponsored by Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., the provision would give a homosexual partner the same tax protection that the law now limits to spouses and dependents.
"There are reasons that the federal government recognizes marriage between one man and one woman and rewards it; that's the benefits that it has brought to society," McClusky said. "When you minimize those rewards, you are minimizing marriage and ultimately minimizing the positive effects that marriage could have on society."

Blizzard Entertainment and Legendary Pictures have announced that the World of Warcraft film may finally be making its first steps to reality with the hiring of Duncan Jones to direct the project. Jones is best known for his work on "Source Code".
Legendary is keeping its script, written by Charles Leavitt, under wraps. The Warner Bros.-based production and finance outfit is eyeing a fall 2013 start and a 2015 release.
Jones' producing partner, Stuart Fenegan, will executive produce while Chris Metzen will co-produce for Blizzard.
Warcraft is a big jump up in terms of scope and scale for Jones, the filmmaker son of David Bowie known for his thoughtful sci-fi work.
Read more at Hollywood Reporter.
Must say I liked both Moon and The Source Code. Just not seeing why Duncan Jones but perhaps together with other other two producer it might become something. I do find that he has a keen eye for detail when it comes to telling a story by film.
The budget for the film seems close to the making of the Lord of the Rings movie 1, so expectations are pretty high though the budget for the LotrO movies was several years ago, while tech has improved allot it's also more expansive then say some years ago.
Even though I feel a CGI like trailers full movie would do very well, if they are atleast of the same qualtiy some of them are. Yet I understand to draw in more then perhaps the gaming community they choose for a real life action movie.

Excellent director to choose, he also directed an amazing film called Moon, but what more would you expect for David Bowie's son!
Yeah, Moon is a great little movie. Good screenwriter on this as well (Blood Diamond)
We shall see.

Oh well, if its about World of warcraft then my hopes to see the whole Arthas story made film goes to the toilet, well still i hope the movie have something to offer to me.
I would like to understand why you're even saying that when WoW is based on that entire story, lol..
The Only way this would work, is if they make a trilogy. You can't view everything in one film.
Hope they do it right. The story has great potential.
well thank god it's not michael bay
should be good. i mean it's david bowie's kid how bad could it be

While I'm not really fond of "Source Code" and unsure how Duncan Jones will fare with a mega-budget fantasy movie, it's honestly a much better pick than I would guess. (Hey, at least it's Abrams-free! :P)
I don't think you can pack ALL of WoW into a 2 hr Movie. This Movie will need at least 8 hrs of content to tell the story.
I love Movie Marathons. :-D

Confusing... do you only follow/ watch one film a year?
2015 is shaping up to be a busy year for sure, but there is room for a big budget IP with WoW's penetration.

I won't watch it at the cinema, it will be a bad movie. Games make bad movies. Movies usually make bad games (with odd exception like goldeneye)
Will also destroy the career of a promising director. Thus guy doesn't know what he's letting himself in for, if internet nerds / troll for comic book movies it likes of lotr are bad, wow / blizzard fans take it too a whole new level. The film is destined to fail.
Might watch it on tv years later to laugh at all the actors who whored themselves out to it though.
Last I checked no one was putting a gun to Jones' head. He thinks he can work with the script or he wouldn't take it. The last couple million WoW nerds in the US aren't going to decide the fate of this movie.

Also, Blade Runner - one of the best adventure games ever, in my opinion. But yeah, I can't remember a good game-to-movie adaptation.
On the other hand... Hey, there's a first for everything! After all, statistics are just results, not causes.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
The concept has promise. I will reserve my judgement for when a trailer is released or the basis of the story is revealed. Pretending like I know anything about it would only make me look like a moron...but the rest of you carry on!
If they where to make a trilogy...I would use the original orc invasion of azeroth as a jumping off point..that will explain the conflice of horde vs alliance...then perhaps bring burning legion into the mix for movie 2 and lich king and friends for movie 3...I would also accept a film adaptation of dragon soul or well of eternity..sadly doubt it will be this interesting...we will see though!

The seal of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is a symbolic statement of the church's heritage, identity, and mission in contemporary form. Its power depends on both its simplicity and complexity, as well as its traditional and enduring qualities.
The basic symbols in the seal are the cross, Scripture, the dove, and flames. The dominant structural and theological element in the design is the cross — the universal and most ecumenical symbol of the Christian church. The cross represents the incarnate love of God in Jesus Christ and his passion and resurrection.

I am a newbie to OOP, and I learn best by example.
You could say this question is similar to Which Scala open source projects should I study to learn best coding practices - but in PHP.
I have heard-tell that Symfony has the best 'architecture' (I will not pretend I know what that exactly means), as well as Doctrine ORM. Is it worth it to spend many months reading the source code of these projects, trying to deduce the patterns used and learning new tricks?
I have seen equal number of web pages dissing and liking Zend's codebase (will provide links if deemed necessary).
Do you know of any other project that would make any veteran OOP developer shed tears of joy?
Please let me add that practicality and scope of use is not a concern at all here - I just want to do:
- Pick a project that has a codebase deemed awesome by devs way better and greater than me.
- Write code that achieves what the project does.
- Compare results and try to learn what I don't know.
Basically, an academic interest codebase. Any recommendations please?

The problems are:
Placing a horizontal ruler.
Having the title at the same line as "CHAPTER {number}."
Thanks in advance
