The next update to the Wasteland 2 beta will be another sizeable one. We are adding more content in the form of the missile silo map, an interesting location that is set to challenge your problem-solving skills. Here is a short description from Jeremy Kopman, the level designer on Silo. "Slashed across eastern Arizona is a deep, winding canyon that provides the only access to a vast, resource-rich valley. As if traversing the labyrinthine paths – full of vicious animals and sociopathic raiders – wasn't hard enough, the area is controlled by a fanatical branch of the Servants of the Mushroom Cloud. These monks worship Titan, bringer of death by the Great Glow… and a live ICBM with a nuclear warhead. Too bad braving this deathtrap is your only way to reach your next mission target: Damonta."
Along with the new area, we'll be releasing new AI types (big booms coming) and behaviors for more challenging combat, replacing the previous merchant screen with a brand-new one – designed in part based on community feedback – and add a new logbook interface. It will also include a reworking of the Leadership skill which will make its effects much more noticeable. And of course, the update will come with a large list of bug fixes and additional polish.
On a side note, we've received the first Mike Stackpole / Nathan Long novella and are in the process of reviewing it. Great news for those who have been patiently waiting for its release!
Chris Keenan,
Project Lead

Live performance from La Scala in 1969 of this Rossini rarity, with much the same cast as the studio recording now out of print and very rare!

Natural England recognises country parks as significant places that contribute to England's accessible natural greenspace.
Many are located near or within towns and cities and therefore close to where people live. All provide a wide range of opportunities for recreation, health and education and improve the quality of life for their local communities.
Country Parks were established as a result of the 1968 Countryside Act and there are currently more than 400 sites that call themselves Country Parks in England. They are visited by over 70 million visitors a year.
You can usually find details of your local sites from your local authorities or local tourist information centres.
Natural England's interest in country parks is underpinned by many years of research and achievement by its founding organisations.
Country Parks Accreditation - In 2009 Natural England established an Accreditation Scheme to identify and recognise sites that deliver the core facilities and services expected of a Country Park. Find out more and/or apply.
We support the Country Parks Network as a network for managers of country parks and related sites to develop and share good practice. Whether you're a site manager, worker or someone wishing to keep in touch with sector developments, we would recommend you join the Network. It's free!
Our current activities have been influenced by the review "Towards a Country Parks Renaissance".

Unbelievable Device
Vitamix does everything you can imagine, and does it very well. The presets of the 750 Pro make it very easy to create everything from soup to ice cream. Smoothies are so much fun, but when you get creative and the combo isn't so great you can't blame the machine...it will be smooth and beautiful.I recommend this product.
More than just a blender - IT'S A VITAMIX!
Can't ask for a better made product. Works extremely well. Has many uses.I recommend this product.
I've been using my Vitamix daily. It's made everything from smoothies, juices, to soups, peanut butter and hummus. The possibilities are endless. There are not enough good things that can be said about this blender. It is worth the investment.I recommend this product.

I had to bring this tumblr out of hibernation if only to include Mandy Patinkin. Why? Because LOOK AT THAT BEARD, that's why.
I had to bring this tumblr out of hibernation if only to include Mandy Patinkin. Why? Because LOOK AT THAT BEARD, that's why.
Like his Big Bang Theory co-star Johnny Galecki, Simon Helberg is clearly better with a beard. [Thanks, Thibault L.]
Bearded Ian McShane is looking pretty happy. You want to know why? Look at that beard, that's why.
Hugo Weaving's beard is serious business. [Thanks, Andrew S.]
That's pretty close to beard perfection, so I have to say that I'm baffled that David Duchovny is so infrequently bearded.
Sean Bean is currently rocking a pretty sweet beard on Game of Thrones. Sure, the man looks fine without a beard, but just because something is fine doesn't mean you shouldn't try to improve it.
Do I even need to say anything here? That beard speaks for itself.
Like his fellow Star Trek alumni Jonathan Frakes and Alexander Siddig, the improvement here is unmistakable. Definitely better with a beard.
While watching Animal Kingdom (which you probably haven't seen, and should) I was struck by the greatness of Joel Edgerton's beard. That is a hall of fame beard. A beard like that validates the continued existence of this blog.
That's a nice beard. This is definitely yet another case where the improvement is so obvious, you'd have to be blind not to see it.

What started as a vision by then City Mayor, Dan Tipton, and former City Manager Scott Miller, has turned into one of the West Coast of Florida's premiere motorcycle events. The Cotee River Bike Fest is held during the cooling month of October each year, a week before Biketoberfest in Daytona so that motorcyclists coming to Florida have the opportunity to enjoy the West Coast before attending that event.

- 2015 400 at the Brickyard Set For Sunday, July 26
August 26, 2014 | By IMS
2015 400 at the Brickyard Set For Sunday, July 26
The 2015 Crown Royal Presents the "Your Hero's Name Here" 400 at the Brickyard, the marquee event of the annual Kroger Super Weekend at the Brickyard, will take place on Sunday, July 26, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The Crown Royal Presents the "Your Hero's Name Here" 400 at the Brickyard is the 20th of 36 points races on the 2015 Sprint Cup Series schedule, released Tuesday by NASCAR.
Pittsboro, Indiana's Jeff Gordon made history in July by winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at IMS for the fifth time - more than any other driver. Gordon now stands with Michael Schumacher – a five-time winner of the Formula One United States Grand Prix - as the only drivers to win five major races at IMS.
Gordon will defend his title next July against competition expected to include four-time Brickyard 400 winner Jimmie Johnson and fan favorites Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Danica Patrick.
In addition to the 22nd annual NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, IMS will host the fourth annual Lilly Diabetes 250 NASCAR Nationwide Series race on Saturday, July 25.

Nintendo May Finally Go Mobile This Year — In The Lamest Way Possible
Serkan Toto relaying information from The Nikkei, claiming Nintendo is going to make the following announcements on Thursday:
But Nintendo will not simply put Mario, Pokemon or other games on smartphones. According to the report, Nintendo plans to use Android and/or iOS devices (not confirmed at this point) to market its console games.
To be more concrete, The Nikkei writes that Nintendo wants to use smartphones to expand its potential user base by spreading information about new game releases, i.e. by using video to introduce future titles. (This will probably happen through some kind of official Nintendo app.)
In addition, Nintendo is said to be planning to put so-called "mini games" on smartphones, playable demos of console games – content that can only be purchased in full on Nintendo hardware. The reasoning here is to give smartphone-only players a taste of the experience without making the actual game available on non-Nintendo devices and convert these users into Nintendo customers.
If this is accurate, it will go absolutely nowhere. And it's actually even more concerning that Nintendo would consider this a "solution". But it is in line with Nintendo President Satoru Iwata's previous comments.
I'm not saying Nintendo needs to port all the games to mobile immediately, but there are certainly better ideas out there. This sounds like a lame marketing ploy, nothing more.

Yes I am :)
hahah it's okay
265 my dear :)
Not exactly…
End of this month
Oh well, go tell him that
Ohhh Thought as much…. I don't even know exactly what happened, I mean we are still friends and all that, but we don't really talk as much as we did years back…. That doesn't mean I forgot about him, cause I did not.
Deji? Which one?
hahahha You know I love me some good sleep! I don't even know why I sleep so much, it feels good! I mean what else can I do? than get enough sleep. I sleep anytime I can, in the car,class,home, etc. Looool don't blame me, school is one of the reason why I sleep anytime I have the chance to :)
Well dear No, I did not
Oh yes I do! My favorite sport is soccer! (FOOTBALL) . Manchester United all day, yup !
Awww, that's good to know, even though I don't know you. Ummm I don't know, I mean, I'm not gonna tell you how to get me, if you really want me, then boy, you gotta make that moveeeee! :p ahaha. And hey! Just be yourself :)
Weird but…. hold up….actually not weird. But I have not like oh yeah "I'm in a relationship with this guy". In other words, I have not been in a 'supposedly' relationship, 'boyfriend,girlfriend' type shit. I bet you don't believe huh , oh well :)
Let's see…… oh yeah! Can't do that, sorry :)
I mean, I'm not a picky kind but I want someone that's at the same level as I am or above, education wise. Set that aside, I want a well grounded guy, mentally, physically, emotionally, and financially. A guy that's on the right path of life, that can benefit me. Looks wise, he don't have to be buffed up and all that, but having a nice body is not too hard to ask for, I mean if I got a nice looking body, you need to have one too…you know, balance the equation ;) Also a respectful guy with a sense a humor :)
2008 :)
No I do not. I am single <3
That's if I know who you are, then I will be more certain about my answer. As of now, NO :)

Comments about Behringer B412DSP 600W 12" Active Loudspeaker:
I blew this thing up with a normal mic lined straight into the pa. No board just the mic. I think a PA should be able to handle a mic plugged straight into it... Don't buy!
Comments about Behringer B412DSP 600W 12" Active Loudspeaker:
Thought I should review these because they are worth talking about. I purchased 2 of the B412's about two years ago for a five piece rock/metal band. I have been extremely happy with them. They sound fantastic and have plenty of volume for what I needed. I,ve beat the heck out of them four hours at a time, in numerous shows and they have really come through for me. At practice we use these as our main speakers by themselves and they do great. during shows I add 2 1000w subs to them and they rip apart the stage. Like any stage setup they need to be EQed, but Ive had no problems getting a decent sound out of them. People always compliment Our clarity and Sound. Most of the bands I hear locally have muddy bass and peircing highs and they use much more expensive equipment. If you learn how to set proper gain structure and EQ with compression You will be amazed at how great these speakers sound. They are not JBL's but if Your on a budget these are amazing. I have well over a 1000 hours of heavy use on them and they sound and perform like new. They are heavy though! The weight is my only complaint but for the value it was worth the trade off for me. Im sure I will eventually replace these with some JBL's but these will then become my stage monitors because they have excellent feedback rejection and I dont want to part with them.
Comments about Behringer B412DSP 600W 12" Active Loudspeaker:
We bought these for open-air preaching. They project music and voice very well. They are great quailty and have good features. The only problem is they are very heavy. It takes two people to get them on a stand and even with two it isn't easy.
Comments about Behringer B412DSP 600W 12" Active Loudspeaker:
I bought this to monitor my vocal and my acoustic sound built into my electric guitars (LR Baggs X-Bridge)for live performance with a loud rock band. I initially bought the TC Helicon Soloist XT. It didn't cut it at all. This monitor does. It sounds great. Has a nice noise gate and auto-shut off feature. The only tiny point is that you have to gain up the input volume almost to MAX to get enough gain for the mic input. I am using a Shure SM58 Beta. The input gain is set about 9 of 10, and is quite touchy at this level. This being said, it still sounds clean and plenty loud (even for a partially deaf guy like myself). It could use input clip LED's, but I recommend this monitor!
Comments about Behringer B412DSP 600W 12" Active Loudspeaker:
We use JBL and EAW speakers for our rental biz and recently tried one of the new Behringer B412. This is a hell of a speaker and these guys have figured out to make it sound great at any sound level. Guess the DSP does some magic here. Can only recommend to check it out.
Comments about Behringer B412DSP 600W 12" Active Loudspeaker:
I recently purchased the b412dsp. I was disappointed from the moment I open the box. First, the advertised 600watts were falsed. The speaker only handles 400watts continues. Secondly, the the speaker cannot handle even a small wedding party. The red clip lights were on during the entire night. If you plan to use this speakers for mains in a band or for dj,pplease don't buy this speakers.
Comments about Behringer B412DSP 600W 12" Active Loudspeaker:
I got a pair a week ago. Forget JBL, Mackie, Peavey etc. as these are amazing speakers regardless of price. The DSP section seem to align the frequency response so they sound great at any volume. Don't know how Beringer can make them at such a price.

Replica Report : The Map is Hidden on His Tongue
March 6th, 2013 by Ismael Cavazos
There is a inflammatory condition of the tongue that leaves it Resembling a map. It is known as Geographic tongue and this is no treasure map. Affecting approximately 2% of the population as of 2003, and 3% of as 2012, it is characterized by discolored regions of taste buds or sometimes even cracks in the surface of the tongue. The condition is usually chronic, and frequently manifests after eating any of a range of exacerbating foods, or during times of stress, illness, or hormonal surges (particularly in women just before menstruating).
It is also known as benign migratory glossitis, oral erythema migrans, glossitis areata exfoliativa, glossitis areata migrans, lingua geographica, stomatitis areata migrans, and transitory benign plaques of the tongue.
The top side of the tongue is covered in small protrusions called papillae. In a tongue affected by geographic tongue, red patches on the surface of the tongue are bordered by grayish white. The papillae are missing from the reddish areas and overcrowded in the grayish white borders. Whitish/yellow discoloration of the tongue is frequently due to a yeast infection. The small patches may disappear and reappear in a short period of time (hours or days), and change in shape or size . While it is not common for the condition to cause pain, it may cause a burning or stinging sensation, especially after contact with certain foods.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Outfielder Luke Scott and the Baltimore Orioles have avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a $6.4 million, one-year contract.
The deal Thursday was above the midpoint between the $6.85 million Scott had asked for when proposed arbitration figures were exchanged last month and the $5.7 million the Orioles had offered.
Scott hit .284 with 27 homers and 72 RBIs last year, when he made $4.05 million.
Right-hander Jeremy Guthrie is the last Baltimore player remaining in arbitration.

Place 4 forks on a chopping board. Skewer a slice of prosciutto lengthways onto each fork. Gently place a piece of gorgonzola on top, then add a slice of pear and some grated walnut.
Drizzle vincotto or balsamic on a serving plate, then arrange prosciutto forks on the plate. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and serve.
Cook's tip
This is a simple, no-fuss canapé option. The prosciutto could be substituted with bresaola or mortadella.

Zhang, H., Brown, L., Blunt, Liam and Barrans, Simon (2007) Generation of fretting wear debris at the stem-cement interface in total hip replacement. In: Proceedings of Computing and Engineering Annual Researchers' Conference 2007: CEARC'07. University of Huddersfield, Huddersfield, pp. 1-4.

Fretting wear debris generated at the stem–cement interface has nowadays been considered to play an important role in the overall failure of cemented total hip replacement (THR). Those wear debris within a certain size range would transport along bone cement deficiencies to bone tissue, resulting in a significant bone resorption and subsequent aseptic loosening of the femoral component, which is regarded as the primary reason for revision of cemented THR. In order to study the influence of the time period of in vivo service of the prosthesis on generation of fretting wear debris, we performed two in vitro wear simulations using identical femoral stem and bone cement, but applying different loading cycles. By conducting a detailed investigation of the bone cement surface with the use of optical microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM) associated with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, we came to a conclusion that for the specific bone cement studied, sufficient loading cycles were required to dislodge the metallic debris from the femoral stem surface, which indicated that generation of fretting wear debris was indeed influenced by the time period of in vivo service of the prosthesis.

Three and a half weeks ago I started using two new firming body products by Le Petit Marseillais that would help me get a toned cellulite-free killer body. I have been using both products daily and today it's time for a review. I bet you're dying to find out if the Huile Anti-Cellulite Tonifiante and the Lait Fermeté Hydratant lived up to the expectations, huh? :-) Well, I got to experience it first-hand, so let's get started with the review!
Le Petit Marseillais Huile Anti-Cellulite Tonifiante
The results
Before I talk to you about the smell, the packaging and whatnot, I want to answer the question that I am sure is on everyone's lips: does the Huile Anti-Cellulite Tonifiante really diminish cellulite? Because let's be honest, that's what it's really about here. The answer is yes. But wait, because there are a few conditions. First of all you really need to use the product daily. Le Petit Marseillais says that you get the best results if you apply the product twice a day, but finding the time to use it in the morning was virtually impossible for me. My morning routine is already long enough as it is, so I used the oil once a day in the evening. Every day. Consistently. And that's not all, because it's also important how you use the oil. Just slapping it on won't be enough. You need to really massage it into your skin. My boyfriend says I look like I am kneading dough when I'm massaging in the oil, and while he's a total meanie for laughing at me, it's actually good that he said that because that's how you should look when applying the oil: it's not just the product itself that works against cellulite, but it's the combination of the oil and a deep tissue massage. By massaging the skin you remove the underlying fat deposits (because that is what cellulite is) and you make the skin smooth and supple again. So, again, does the Huile Anti-Cellulite Tonifiante diminish cellulite? Yes, but you do have to use the product daily and really massage it in. And eating a healthy diet and exercising a bit probably won't hurt either. So throw away that chocolate bar and bust out that sports bra! ;-)
Score: 4/5
The smell
Le Petit Marseillais' Huile Anti-Cellulite Tonifiante contains lemon oil and star anise, but I don't really recognize either of these when I smell the product. Not that that's a problem, because the smell isn't unpleasant. So whatever it is that I am smelling, it smells okay. It's a bit of a Mediterranean smell, actually, so that goes perfectly with Le Petit Marseillais' Mediterranean image.
Score: 2.5/5
The texture
As you can tell from the name of the product, the Huile Anti-Cellulite Tonifiante is an oil. This makes the product really pleasant to use. It really glides over your skin and makes massaging the product into the skin a piece of cake. The oil makes your skin feel amazingly soft and smooth, and it doesn't feel sticky. I really like it!
Score: 5/5
Packaging and usage
I'm usually not a big fan of body oils because they often get messy (as in: oil stains on the floor and the carpet that you can't get rid of without soap). But Le Petit Marseillais did a great job solving that problem, because the oil comes in a spray bottle. This makes it really easy to apply the product without drops of oil spilling on the floor or dripping from the bottle. All it takes are a few spritzes and the oil gets nicely distributed on your skin. And then all there's left to do is massage it in. Very smart of Le Petit Marseillais, I wish all body oils were like this!
Score 5/5
The end core: 16,5/20
Easy to use, pleasant texture, and most importantly: smoother and firmer skin with less cellulite! Le Petit Marseillais definitely deserves a 16.5 out of 20 for its Huile Anti-Cellulite Tonifiante. I don't look like a Victoria's Secret model (yet! :-P) but I definitely recommend this product.
Le Petit Marseillais Lait Fermeté Hydratant
The results
Le Petit Marseillais' Lait Fermeté Hydratant promised to not only nourish my skin but to also make it firmer. The nourishing effect is easy to judge: this body milk definitely hydrates my skin. The rich formula hydrates my skin very well and the effect is long-lasting. I find it a lot harder to judge the firming effect of this body milk, though. Why, you ask? Well, I used the Lait Fermeté Hydratant together with the Huile Anti-Cellulite Hydratant and so I don't really know if it's the oil or a combination of the oil and the body milk that makes my skin so smooth and firm. Either way, the Lait Fermeté Hydratant does noticeably soften my skin and makes it nice and supple, and who knows, it might even make it firmer as well. All in all this product does everything a good body milk should do, and maybe even more. It's a keeper!
Score: 4/5
The Lait Fermeté Hydratant contains star anise, green tea and sesame oil, but just like with the Huile Anti-Cellulite Tonifiante I don't recognize either of these scents when I smell the product. The scent is also very subtle. I can smell it when I hold the product to my nose, but otherwise it's barely noticeable. It doesn't smell bad at all, but (warning: naughty beauty pun) products that give me a good smellgasm and spontaneously make me go hmmmm always get extra points from me. So I am giving the Lait Fermeté Hydratant an average 2.5 out of 5 for smell.
Score: 2.5/5
The Lait Fermeté Hydratant is a body milk and with that you know what the texture is like. Of course it's not literally like milk, but it's nice and creamy and noticeably runnier than for example a body cream or body butter. The milk applies easily and smoothly and gets absorbed almost instantly. It doesn't leave my skin feeling all sticky, and I can easily glide into my skinny jeans without getting stuck half-way and having to bounce bag race-wise around the living room. What do you mean, ''that never happens to me''…?
Score: 5/5
Packaging and usage
The Lait Fermeté Hydratant comes in a bottle with a pump. I personally find this a lot easier and cleaner than a regular bottle. The pump makes it really easy to get the right amount of product out and it helps to keep the bottle nice and clean. Perfect!
Score: 5/5
Total score: 16.5/20
I swear it's a coincidence, but Le Petit Marseillais' Lait Fermeté Hydratant gets a well-deserved 16.5 out of 20, just like the Huile Anti-Cellulite Tonifiant. I am not sure if this body milk really makes my skin firmer, but it definitely keeps it well hydrated and makes it really soft. It's also very easy to use. Plus, it doesn't get feel sticky like many of my other body lotions, and I like that a lot.
In Switzerland both the oil and milk are available at Coop and cost respectively 9.95 and 6.69 CHF.
Do you use anti-cellulite products or firming body products?

HARRISBURG—Primary election day is tomorrow and voters will be heading out to the polls to determine several county commissioner and district justice races. But the way people vote in Pennsylvania could be changing in the near future.
As it stands right now, when voters head to the polls in PA, they only have to show identification the first time they vote in their precinct. For each visit after, a person only has to sign the ledger. But some proposed legislation would change that, requiring voters to show ID each time they vote.
The broadest proposal won approval in the House State Government Committee last week. The law would require voters to show a proof of identification each time they head to the polls. Proponents hope requiring ID would cut down on voter fraud.
Representative Daryl Metcalfe, (R) Butler County, is proposing one of the voter ID pieces of legislation. He also wants to see the forms of eligible identification be limited to driver's license, passports, or state ID cards. He says the legislation just makes sense.
"All of the bills are good government type of bills creating more accountability, something that is sorely missed and needed here in Harrisburg. We are very hopeful this year that we can push it through the Senate and have Governor Corbett sign these good government measures," Metcalfe said during an interview in March.
Opponents of the bill say that this measure could disenfranchise voters who don't have ID, many who are elderly, African American or the working poor. They also say there is little evidence of voter fraud in Pennsylvania so the bill is wasteful.
At this point, there is no timetable for a full vote in the House.
As for tomorrow's primary, PA is a closed primary state. That means a voter has to be a registered Republican or Democrat to vote in tomorrow's races.

Armstrong Terminates Desso Sale
June 13, 2001
Germany -- Armstrong DLW AG has terminated discussions with CVC Capital Partners B.V. concerning the possible sale of the textile and sports flooring businesses in its Desso commercial carpet operations. On February 19, 2001, Armstrong DLW AG issued an announcement that discussions had begun with CVC with a view towards a sale of Desso.
According to President and CEO, Gerard L. Glenn, discussions ended after the parties were unable to come to agreement on all the issues.
Desso, with approximately 1,300 employees worldwide, manufactures textile and sports flooring in The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. Based in Oss, The Netherlands, Desso had annual sales of approximately 300 million Euros in 2000. Armstrong Holdings, Inc. is the parent company of Desso.

De Lisio, Corrado and Solimeno, Salvatore (2006) Transmittivity measurements by means of squeezed vacuum light. [Rivista]Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: stacks.iop.org/JPhysB/39/1187
A method for measuring the transmittivity of optical samples by using squeezed vacuum radiation is illustrated. A squeezed vacuum field generated by a below threshold optical parametric oscillator is propagated through a non-dispersive medium and detected by a homodyne apparatus. The variance of the detected quadrature is used for measuring the transmittivity. With this method the number of photons passing through the sample during the measurement interval is drastically reduced. The results of some tests are reported.

Full House, Pete Bajo and Fence
Full House, Pete Bajo and Fence – Evolving projects
SMD portaled into Carlin East in September 1993. This was our first contract with Newmont Mining and formed the basis of a relationship that has lasted through the years. Newmont crews finished mining in Carlin East in 2007. However, through further exploration and engineering, additional ore was found. This new area is known as Full House.
SMD drove an exploration drift in 2008 above the mineralization. After a successful drilling campaign, we developed and mined the Full House deposit. Full House lies about midway between the Leeville shaft and the Carlin East portal – it is about 10 – 12,000 feet to either one of them. With the end of Full House in site SMD crews advanced a connection drift between Full House and Pete Bajo. This drift replaced the Carlin East portal and access.
Newmont's Pete open pit finished in late 2010. The pit could not extract all the mineralization economically creating an underground opportunity. In addition, more mineralization was located distally to the pit that could become potential underground reserves as well. SMD mobilized in the fourth quarter of 2010 to start this project. We completed two portals in miserable winter conditions and constructed a shop and wash pad / fuel / lube facility as well.
Development consists of 16' x 16' headings and the ore is primarily being mined with drift and fill, benching and open stoping techniques. Cemented rock fill is being utilized heavily at the Pete Bajo mine.
Currently, these two projects are transitioning to a new project known as Fence.

LONDON (UPI) — Two men accused of hacking British soldier Lee Rigby to death had their trial date set for Nov. 18 at a London court hearing Friday, officials said.
Michael Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22, both charged with murder, appeared at the hearing via video link from separate prison cells and spoke only to confirm their names, ITV News reported.
Members of Rigby's family were at the hearing, the BBC reported.
The suspects are accused of killing Rigby with weapons that included a machete outside his Woolwich barracks in May.
Witnesses at the scene said Adebolajo told them he killed Rigby in retaliation for the killing of Muslims by British soldiers in the Middle East and Asia.

David Cameron, riots and the ghost of Tony Blair
It's no secret that David Cameron and a lot of his friends have a great deal of admiration for Tony Blair. The former PM's memoirs have the status of holy text among some, while the Cameroon cognoscenti will tell you the works of Jonathan Powell, Mr Blair's chief of staff, are even more important.
At the same time, Mr Cameron has tried to shed the "heir to Blair" tag, and insisted that he is at least as interested in avoiding repeating Mr Blair's mistakes as in building on his successes. Watching Mr Cameron these last few days, it's hard not to think back to Mr Blair and his Respect agenda.
Even stage-management of Mr Cameron's actions on rioting has felt very Blair-esque: flying back from holiday to "take personal charge" of the situation and following up with a shirt-sleeved big-picture speech promising to transform Britain.
The growing Cameron frustration with the police also feels familiar. For Mr Blair, a lawyer married to a lawyer, it was lawyers and their insistence on due process that were the target of his ire. But in both cases, a prime minister confronts a pillar of the establishment, increasingly angry that they will not accept his reforms, reforms he insists are necessary to align the criminal justice system with contemporary public opinion.
In both dramas, there's also a walk-on part for a controversial adviser. For Mr Blair, it was his "Respect tsar" Louise Casey; for Mr Cameron, it's Bill Bratton. Likewise Mr Cameron's focus today on "problem families". I've written a quick history of this issue here, and in so doing, I came across a fascinating document. In April 2007, his premiership nearing its end, Mr Blair assessed his own work on anti-social behaviour, and found himself wanting.
His conclusions were printed in the Daily Telegraph, and you can read them here.
His key point is that anti-social behaviour is not about society as a whole.
Obviously it impacts on society as a whole. But it is not part of a general breakdown in society, a tearing of our social fabric or a descent into a "decivilised" culture. Instead, it is about a minority.
The reality is that we are dealing with a very small number of highly dysfunctional families and children whose defining characteristic is that they do not represent society as a whole. They are the exception, not the rule. They do not respond to more investment. They do not conform to social norms.
His prescription? A strong and interventionist state:
Naturally, people will complain about the "nanny state", but, for some of these families and their children, a nanny state is what they need – for their sake as much as for ours.
And this is where it gets interesting for Mr Cameron. All his thinking (and talking) about the Big Society and the Broken Society has suggested that he sees the State as the problem and believes it cannot be the answer.
But consider this passage in Mr Cameron's Whitney speech today:
Government cannot legislate to change behaviour, but it is wrong to think the State is a bystander. Because people's behaviour does not happen in a vacuum: it is affected by the rules government sets and how they are enforced….by the services government provides and how they are delivered… and perhaps above all by the signals government sends about the kinds of behaviour that are encouraged and rewarded.
Intervention in problem families. A more active police force. A central role for the ultimate expression of State power over the individual, the denial of liberty. Have last week's riots given Mr Cameron a newfound belief in the role of the State? That really would be a remarkable victory for Mr Blair.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Searches for Noah's Ark, sometimes mockingly referred to as arkeology[1][2][3] have been made from at least the time of Eusebius (c.275–339 AD) to the present day. Despite many expeditions, no scientific evidence of the ark has been found.[4][5] The practice is widely regarded as pseudoscience, more specifically pseudoarchaeology,[6][7][8] though some scientists have searched for the Ark without expecting success, using scientific methods.[citation needed]
According to Genesis 8:4, the Ark came to rest "on the mountains of Ararat." Early commentators such as Josephus,[citation needed] and authorities quoted by him, Berossus,[citation needed] Hieronymus the Egyptian,[citation needed] Mnaseas, and Nicolaus of Damascus,[citation needed] record the tradition that these "mountains of Ararat" are to be found in the region then known as Armenia, roughly corresponding to Eastern Anatolia.
Syrian tradition of the early centuries AD had a tradition of the ark landing at Mount Judi, where according to Josephus the remains of the ark were still shown in the 1st century AD. The location of the "Place of Descent" (αποβατηριον, i.e., Nakhchivan) described by Josephus was some 100 km to the southeast of the peak now known as Mount Ararat, in what is today Northern Iraq.
According to Jewish Rabbinic tradition, the Ark was looted in antiquity, the remains being used for idol worship, as related in the Talmud Tractate Sanhedrin by Sennacherib circa 705 – 681 BC,[9] and as related in the Midrash anthology Yalkut Shimoni by Haman circa 486–465 BC.[10]
Marco Polo (1254–1324) wrote in his book, The Travels of Marco Polo:
In the heart of the Armenian mountain range, the mountain's peak is shaped like a cube (or cup), on which Noah's ark is said to have rested, whence it is called the Mountain of Noah's Ark. It [the mountain] is so broad and long that it takes more than two days to go around it. On the summit the snow lies so deep all the year round that no one can ever climb it; this snow never entirely melts, but new snow is for ever falling on the old, so that the level rises.
Sir Walter Raleigh, writing c. 1616, made a laborious argument taking up several whole chapters of his History of the World, that the term "Mountains of Ararat" originally encompassed all the adjoining and taller ranges of Asia, and that Noah's Ark could only have landed in the Orient – especially since Armenia is not technically east of the plain of Shinar (or Mesopotamia), but more northwest.
Searches since the mid-20th century have been largely supported by evangelical, millenarian churches along with local farmers and sustained by ongoing popular interest, faith-based magazines and lecture tours, videos, occasional television specials and more recently the Internet which have all been stated by historians and archaeologist to be red herrings.

Blonde Mommy Still At The Prime Of SuckingMay 2nd, 2009
Goodness gracious! Check out how a very mature woman does wonderful cock-sucking that might be even better than how teen chicks do it! Meet Carly, a 49-year-old blonde blowjob champion in her own right. She has already spent years mastering the necessary skills of sucking cocks. This blonde blowjob MILF is still one of the crowd's favorites whenever blowjob comes into focus. And yes, those big plump tits love to bounce whenever her head bobs with cock-sucking. Any given thick cock is sure to spill the thick cream forcefully because Carly is such an amazing cock-sucking vixen. She can just use her lips and tongue to give any stiff cock its needed cleaning.
