Little India: Little India
If you are sick to the back teeth of eating fuul, and have a rather full pocket, you might like to splash out on a curry at Sudan's one and only Indian restaurant. The staff are actually Indian, so the food is authentic (well, as authentic as Indian restaurants are) and excellent.
Favorite Dish: All the typical curries and tandooris are available, ut my favourite is a chicken one with cashews...can't rememer which one. The lime juice should be tasted, as there is nothing as bitter as this in Sudan!!
Universal Coffee: True Italian
This unassuming building from the outside, is something else when you actually taste the food. Apart from a modest sign beside the gate, you'd probably mistake this for a private house. Inside the courtyard are tables with bright yellow parasols.
We had a table for 8 and ordered a mixture of pizzas and meat dishes, fruit juices and then ice cream. The bill came to 342 SP.
The service was quite good, and the food was first class, even my husband's cappuccino, which he rarely enjoys outside Italy.
Meat dishes are around 32 SP; Pizzas about 25 SP, ice cream 10 SP and fruit drinks 9 SP.
Opening hours:
Lunch 12 - 15.30
Dinner 18.30 -23.00
Note: during lunch and dinner 4.5 SP cover per person per table and 10% service tax and 15% VAT are added to the bill
Inside is a display of paintings for sale, and hand-made jewellery which looked very nice ranging from 35-100Sp.
Favorite Dish: The margherita I had had a crisp thin crust and was absolutely delicious. My son and a daughter had lemon escalope which was tender and out of this world, with sauted potatoes with rosemary,
The oven cooked lamb was also tender and tasty. And the pizza napolitano was devoured.

Solitaire Riyadh: cafe and restaurant
The restaurant is fairly new and very popular as when we went most tables were occupied. The decor was not overpowering- wood, sandy coloured wallpaper, brick doorways and wooden [even if plastic!] dados.
The service was quite good, but little touches were missing- the condiment set had splashes of sauce on the body of the bottles. The waitress managed to spill a bottle of Coke and glass of ice when she came to serve us.
The dishes were tastefully arranged with an oriental touch.
The menu gave plenty of choice and had Italian, Mexican, Chinese, and American dishes.
There was little choice of desserts , so we passed.
Favorite Dish: I ordered Chicken rolls "Solitaire style', which were like a Chicken Kiev with herbs in the filling and mozarella cheese- stringy and soft. The dish came with roasted vegetables and french fries, and a bowl of mayonnaise. I couldn't finish my portion, as I'd already tasted my daughter's Veal Emance zurichoise- a sort of beef stroganoff with mashed potatoes. The potatoes were not as dry and fluffy as I would make, but my daughter said they were less soggy than usual.
All in all the meal was enjoyable.

Delicious Restaurant & Ice Cream Parlor: Nice restaurant & good pizzas
This restaurant and ice cream parlor is situated on the corner of Street 1, opposite the All Saints Cathedral. Locals know this places as Laziz Restaurant. Serves great meals and takeaway foods such as shawourmahs, beefburgers etc. at very reasonable prices. Open Saturday thru Thursday from 09:30 a.m. till late in the evenings. On Fridays open in the evening only from 6:30 p.m. till late. Delicous also has an Ice Cream Parlor in Riyadh near the McNimer pharmacy.
Favorite Dish: My favourite food here is the Laziz Pizza and sweet mango juice

Universal Cafe: Italian food in Khartoum
This is a quaint outdoor cafe popular with foreigners, expatriates and the rich locals. Located in Amarat, this establishment serves a selection of Italian favorites e.g prosciutto, Bruschetta, pasta and pizzas. There is also a choice of coffee, juices and non-alcoholic beer (I know, where's the fun in that??) available. Part of the cafe has a gallery and gift shop.
Prices are expected, more higher than average because of the assumption that foreigners can afford it. Being an outdoor cafe, the environment is quite pleasant, you can sit in the garden under the trees, talk and eat.

Little India: Sudan's only Indian
An 'authentic' Indian menu at one of the few proper restaurants in the city, located in the posh area of Khartoum 2. Even so, it's still a case of sitting in what pretty much resembles a shed and wooden stools! Not fantastic but adequate quality, and it makes a nice change.
Langkawi Restaurant: Malaysian restaurant in Khartoum
When I feel like having a meal from home, I'd go to the Langkawi Restaurant in Manshia area. Not only do they serve Malaysian food, they also have some Thai, Sudanese and Western food on the menu. The prices are what you expect from a "foreigners" restaurant but going there once a while is OK. The good thing about them is that the food tastes pretty authentic even though the ingredients for food from that region is hard to get hold of.
Favorite Dish: There are many items that I enjoy from Langkawi, here are some :
- Beef or chicken satay
- Seafood Tom Yam soup
- Fried rice, many types : Chinese, Malay, Pattaya, Seafood
- Fried noodles, Mamak style or chinese style
- Roti canai with chicken curry
- Pulled tea
**UPDATE : This restaurant has closed down**

Mogran coffee Shop, Khartoum Hilton: one cappucini, please
The coffee shop is a nice place to relax and have a coffee. You feel as if you have left the heat and chaos of khartoum behind.
The cappuccino is good but as there is a minimum charge, it is perhaps pricey for a single person

Papa Costa: International Restaurant with live music
A nice restaurant in Central Khartoum. Originally a Greek Restaurant, it has become a restaurant with an international choice of dishes. The Greek owner has retired and it is now managed by the new Sudanese owner. Good food and service, spotlessly clean; but no effort at maintenance is done. I hope, they will keep up the good level of this restaurant.
It has a very nice garden and high ceilinged inner rooms. The bovine paintings it was renowned for have been removed by the former owner. But some of them subsist on the outer facade amd in the garden.
Large choice of dishes, from traditional European, to Italian and Mexican (main courses between SDG 20 and 30). Large choice of pizzas (SDG 18 to 22), the large one is really large. The food is good and nicely presented. The large choice of fresh fruit juices is tempting, but beware of the tap water and ice they add.
In the afternoons it is quiet, you mainly find discreet sudaneese couples enjoying the privacy and the free wireless internet.
On Thursday evenings there is live music (soft jazz and hits from the 60ies and 70ies, when we were there) and the place is busy: mainly upper class Sudanese and some Europeans.
They have a minimum charge of SDG 20 per person on music nights.
Ethiopian Restaurant/Regency Cafe: Rooftop Ethiopian Cafe
About half an hour by bus south of Khartoum, there is a very posh place to eat called the Regency Cafe. Prices are a bit higher than other restaurants, although it is still affordable, especially if you only have drinks. The ground floor has an American diner atmosphere, and serves all the standard kebabs and shawarmas, as well as ice cream and real milkshakes. But the treat lies upstairs, on the rooftop terrace, where you'll find traditional Ethiopian tables and chairs, and a menu written in Amharic. You can come up to the roof just for coffee if you want (500 for a cup, or 2500 for a pot), and listen to Ethiopian pop music (surprisingly good....or maybe I've just spent too long in Sudan!) .
Favorite Dish: Your plate will be a huge round spongy piece of bread, called injera...it is cold and slightly sour tasting, and forms your plate and your cutlery. Whatever you order will be brought to you in a little bowl, then tipped on top of the bread. You eat it by tearing the bread and scooping it up. Doro Wat is the most expensive dish, at 7000 pounds ($3), and is chicken in a fiery stew with a hard boiled egg. All the other dishes are made with lamb (or at least we think it was lamb). Tibs is minced lamb warmed in a pan and spiced....it is slightly raw, so not to everyone's tastes, but it was delicious. Vegetarians have one option...I've forgotten the name, but it was a spicy sauce with chickpeas and tomatos. Finish the meal with a jebbana (pot) of Ethiopian coffee.
As-saha: Lebanon in Sudan
This fairly new restaurant is something special. It was built in typical Lebanese style using traditional Sudanese materials and decorations.
The service is good. The dining rooms are spacious.The food is excellent, and the puffed up traditional bread is replenished when it gets cold. Valet car parking is available.
Favorite Dish: We had the mixed grilled meat which was excellent :consisting of grilled chicken, beef, lamb kufta, chicken wings and chicken kebab. This was served on flat bread with vegetables.
We had a plate of fish which was also excellent, and accompanied by french fries and mayonnaise salad.

Little Asia: More Asian food
Little Asia serves a variety of food from where else but Asia. From the menu, you can choose from Indian, Thai and some Chinese food, depending on your taste. You have a choice to dine outdoors in a quaint little garden or indoors (in case of sandstorm or rain)
Be aware that the prices are pretty high.
Favorite Dish: Grilled lambchops with spices
Laban (yoghurt) drinks
Indian bread (Cheese Naan & Garlic Naan)
Cheese & Spinach (Palak Paneer)
Chicken Tandoori

As-Sultan Ash-Shami: Kebabs
Just off from Souq Arabi in the heart of Khartoum is a great place for kebabs, shawarmas and juices. It is run by Palestinians, and is one of the few places in central Khartoum where you can actually sit down and eat in relative peace. It is called As-Sultan Ash-Shami (the Syrian Sultan), and is fairly well known. To find it, head to the LG Building (Burj Baraka), and it is on the ground floor.
Favorite Dish: Shish kebab....a skewer of lamb pieces in a bread roll with salad for only $0.50.
Mimi Ice: Hibiscus juice
This is a semi-Western fast-food place in the large central LG building. I have never eaten here, as I never feel like eating in this heat, but I do go there quite regularly for drinks....the best being kerkedeh, a juice made from hibiscus, served ice-cold for just 500 Sudanese pounds. They also have an ice-cold fan which is great to stand in front of!!!
Favorite Dish: Kerkedeh....well, I think this will be difficult to describe. When I ask for translations, I'm told it is hibiscus juice, but how can you get a juice from a flower? Basically, they use the flowers to make a tea, which is dark purple in colour...you can drink it hot like tea, which is nice, but I prefer the ice cold version.
Grand Cafe: kabab, kofta?
This large restaurant and takeaway is Egyptian owned. The decor is simple but pleasant, painted in terracotta and a bisque shade. There is a clearly labelled WC.The restaurant apparently has a busy lunchtime clientele during the working week but on the Fridays we went only 5 tables were occupied. The service was fine and the menu was varied and about average. A salad bar is in the centre of the restaurant, self-service, at £5 Sudanese per head. Fine chapatti -like bread was provided which was very good.
Outside there is some parking, but beware of the begging children. One approaches your car. Give him a coin, and immediately others appear from nowhere.
Favorite Dish: I had meat kofta with vegetables and rice the first time we went.. The vegetables could have been cooked a few minutes longer, but otherwise the food was mediocre. My daughter and grand-daughter had mushroom picata which they ate with relish. Next time we went I had breaded escalope which was excellent, and was given two huge pieces which I couldn't finish.
A doggy bag is available to take home what you can't eat.

The application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/406,568, filed Aug. 27, 2002.
This invention relates generally to a weatherproofing boot for mounting onto the lower end of a vertically elongated astragal which is installed onto the free side edge of a semi-active door of a double door or panel entry set or the like. The astragal boot provides an effective barrier at the lower end of the astragal for substantially preventing ingress of wind and water when the doors are closed.
A typical double door entry set for a building includes a pair of hinged doors mounted within a stationary door frame for individual swinging movement between open and closed positions. In a typical residential installation, one of the doors comprises a primary or active door intended for routine opening and closing in the course of normal ingress and egress, whereas the other door comprises a secondary or so-called semi-active door which is normally retained in a closed and locked condition. The primary door is equipped with door hardware components including door handles or other suitable actuators for operating retractable door latch and deadbolt devices which commonly engage appropriate keepers mounted on or otherwise formed within a false jamb defined by a vertically elongated astragal mounted on the adjacent free side edge or stile of the semi-active door. In turn, the semi-active door is normally equipped with locking hardware mounted at or near the free side edge thereof, generally proximate the upper and lower ends of the free side edge, such as retractable slide bolts for engaging appropriate keepers mounted respectively on the door header and threshold. These slide bolts are normally advanced to a locked position engaging their respective keepers to retain the semi-active door normally in the closed and locked condition. However, when and if desired, these slide bolts can be retracted for disengagement from their respective keepers to unlock the semi-active door and permit opening thereof. In a common design, actuators for these slide bolts are accessibly exposed at the free side edge of the semi-active door only when the primary door is open. One preferred slide bolt configuration is shown and described in copending U.S. Ser. No. 09/668,530, filed Sep. 21, 2000, which is incorporated by reference herein.
The double door set commonly includes weatherstripping to minimize entry of wind-blown dirt and water past the peripheral edges of the closed doors into the building interior. In a typical configuration, an elongated strip of flexible or compliant weatherproofing material is fastened onto the stationary vertical side jambs and the horizontal header of the door frame for contact by the hinged side and the top edges of the two doors in the closed position. An additional strip of similar weatherproofing material is often fastened onto the astragal for contact by the free side edge of the active door in the closed position. Further strips of flexible or compliant weatherproofing material are normally attached to the bottom edge of each door for engaging the underlying threshold when the doors are closed. These weatherproofing strips are designed to fill any gaps between the peripheral edges of the two doors when closed and the adjoining door frame and threshold, to resist wind and water penetration into the building. However, the weatherproofing strips at the door bottom edges are interrupted or spaced apart by the astragal, when both doors are in the closed position, resulting in an unfilled and open gap at the astragal lower end through which dirt and water can pass into the building. To date, an effective weatherproofing system or weatherstrip mounting arrangement at the astragal lower end has not been provided.
There exists, therefore, a need for further improvements in and to double door or double panel sets of the type having an astragal mounted at the free side edge of a semi-active door or panel, wherein the lower end of the astragal is effectively weatherproofed to close any gap at that location through which wind-blown dirt and water could otherwise enter the building. The present invention fulfills these needs and provides further related advantages.
In accordance with the invention, an astragal boot is provided for quick and easy mounting onto the lower end of an astragal installed onto the free side edge or stile of a semi-active door in a double door entry set or double panel set or the like, to provide a substantially weatherproof seal at the astragal lower end preventing ingress of wind and water when the doors are closed. The astragal boot includes at least one and preferably multiple flexible or compliant fins for engaging an underlying threshold of the surrounding door frame, to provide an effective barrier against wind and water penetration.
In the preferred form, the astragal boot is constructed from a molded plastic material or the like, having a boot body with size and shape for substantially mated-fit mounting onto the astragal lower end as by means of one or more screws or the like. The plastic boot body may be structurally reinforced by a metal plate attached thereto or co-molded therewith. The astragal boot body further includes at least one bolt port for slide-through passage of a retractable lock bolt engageable with a threshold-mounted keeper for releasibly locking the semi-active door in the closed position. The at least one and preferably multiple fins depend from the boot body with distal end tips having sufficiently flexibility or compliance for smooth and effective sealing engagement with the underlying threshold when the semi-active door is in the closed position. In a preferred geometry, multiple fins are provided and arranged for supporting and retaining adjacent ends of weatherstripping mounted on the bottom edge of the semi-active door. An additional upstanding support pin may also be provided for supporting and retaining the adjacent lower end of vertically extending weatherstripping mounted onto the astragal.
The astragal boot may be provided in a non-handed configuration for reversible mounting on a left-hand or right-hand installed semi-active door. In such non-handed configuration, a pair of bolt ports are formed in the astragal body for sliding passage of the retractable threshold lock bolt through one of said lock ports in accordance with the left- or right-hand mounting orientation. In addition, a pair of upstanding support pins may be provided on the boot body, with one of said support pins supporting and retaining the adjacent lower end of vertically extending weatherstripping mounted onto the astragal in accordance with the left- or right-hand mounting orientation. The second or unused support pin is adapted for cut-off or break-off removal from the astragal boot.
Other features and advantages of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention. In such drawings:
As shown in the exemplary drawings, an astragal boot referred to generally by the reference numeral 10 in
As shown in
The illustrative double door entry set 16 incorporates conventional weatherstripping for minimizing or eliminating penetration of wind-blown dirt and water from the exterior side past the closed doors 22 and 14 into the interior of the building. In this regard, although not shown in the accompanying drawings, an elongated weatherproofing strip formed from a suitable resilient or compliant material is commonly attached to the upstanding stationary door jambs 26, 28 and to the horizontally extending header 30, generally in an inverted U-shaped configuration, for compression engagement by the hinged side edges and the top edges of the two doors 22, 14 in the closed position. In addition, a strip 44 (
The astragal boot 10 of the present invention is specifically designed for mounting onto the lower end of the astragal 12, for the purpose of closing any residual gap between the astragal lower end and the threshold 30 when the semi-active door 14 is closed. In this regard, in the past, the bottom edge weatherstripping 46 on the two doors 22, 14 has not effectively closed this gap at the lower end of the astragal 12, but instead has left a residual gap at the astragal lower end.
As shown best in
At least one and preferably a plurality of compliant fins project downwardly from the astragal boot 10, for sealing engaging the underlying threshold 32 when the semi-active door 14 is closed.
In accordance with one feature of the invention, the forward spaced-apart pair of the fins 60, 62 are configured to define a laterally open recess 66 therebetween for receiving and retaining the adjacent end of one of the weatherstrips 46 mounted on the bottom edge 48 of the semi-active door (as viewed best in
A support pin 70 may also be provided to upstand from boot body 50 to support and retain a lower end of the vertically extending weatherstrip 44 mounted on the astragal stop or jamb 40.
The narrower trailing end portion 58 of the boot body 50 further includes a bolt port 74 for slide-through reception of the retractable lock bolt 36 used for normally retaining the semi-active door 14 in the closed and locked position.
In use, the astragal boot 10 of the present invention is quickly and easily installed onto the lower end of the astragal 12, preferably in meshed or interlocking assembly with the weatherstrip 44 on the astragal and one of the weatherstrips 46 on the door bottom edge 48. When the two doors 22, 14 are in the closed position, the resilient fins 60, 62 and 64 on the underside of the boot 10 engage and substantially seal with the underlying threshold 32. Importantly, these fins effectively span the gap or space between the weatherstrips 46 on the bottom edges of the two doors. The bolt port 74 in the boot 10 accommodates appropriate sliding displacement of the lock bolt 36 for locking and unlocking the semi-active door 14 in a normal manner.
On installation, the modified astragal boot 10′ is fastened onto the lower end of a left- or right-hand mounted astragal 12 at the free side edge of a left- or right-hand mounted semi-active door 14. Prior to such installation of the astragal boot 10′, the support pin 70 at the side facing the free side edge 18 of the door 14 is removed by cutting or breaking away. In addition, the breakaway wall segment 68 at the same side of the boot body 50′ may be severed and removed, if desired for improved reception of the adjacent end of the bottom weatherstrip 46. Importantly, the modified boot body 50′ includes a pair of spaced-apart bolt ports 74 for sliding passage of the lock bolt 36 through one of the ports 74, according to the left- or right-hand directional mounting.
A variety of further modifications and improvements in and to the astragal boot 10 of the present invention will be apparent to those persons skilled in the art. For example, while the invention is shown and described for specific use with a double door set, it will be recognized and appreciated that the astragal boot can be used with any double panel set to closed and seal the lower end of an astragal-type structure at the juncture between the two hinged panels. In addition, it will be understood that the astragal boot 10 may be integrated with the lower slide bolt unit 34 wherein these combined elements may be adapted for concurrent mounting as a single assembly onto the lower free side edge of the semi-active door 14. Accordingly, no limitation on the invention is intended by way of the foregoing description and accompanying drawings, except as set forth in the appended claims.

Debt Deficit Budget Debt History
|Follow @chrischantrill
In peace time, the US government used to spend very little on defense, about one percent of GDP. But that changed after World War II when the United States found itself in a global contest against Communism. Ever since, defense spending has never been less than 3.6 percent of GDP. In wartime, of course, the United States spends as much as it can command. In World War II defense spending exceeded 41 percent of GDP in 1945.
Defense spending declined in the 1990s after the end of the Cold War and increased in the 2000s during the War on Terror.
Chart 2.32: Recent Defense Spending
Defense spending stood at 6.8 percent of GDP at the height of the Reagan defense buildup. But, beginning even before the breakup of the Soviet Union it began a decline, reaching below 6 percent in 1990, below 4 percent in 1996 and bottoming out at 3.5 percent of GDP in 2001, about half the level of 1985.
But 9/11, the terrorist attack on iconic US buildings in 2001, changed that, and defense spending began a substantial increase in two stages. First, it increased to 4.6 percent by 2005 for the invasion of Iraq, and then to 5.0 percent in 2008 for the the surge in Iraq.
Spending increased further to 5.7 percent in 2011 with the stepped up effort in Afghanistan. Defense spending is expected to decline to 4.5 percent of GDP in 2015 and 3.8 percent GDP by 2020.

Prevent loss of tone from having your signal routed through effect pedals with no or weak bypass and add flexibility using this Programmable 4-Loop Pedal Switcher from Monoprice!
This pedal switcher features a true bypass, so that the signal never even touches pedals in loops that are left unselected. It features four loops, each of which can contain any number of pedals in series. It has eight effect banks, each of which has two effect groups. Each effect group can have any number of effect loops included.
The switcher has built-in memory, so you don't have to program it for each show or practice session. It is built of heavy duty steel, so you can stomp on it without fear of breaking it and ruining a show.
It is powered using a standard 9V Power Supply for Guitar Pedals (PID 611690) with the tip/center negative on the DC connector. It draws only 100mA, so it can share a single power supply with your pedals by using a Multi-Plug Daisy Chain Cable (PID 611698).
- 16 effect groups in 8 banks (2 per bank)
- 4 effect loops
- True bypass
- Built-in memory for programmed settings
- Heavy-duty steel casing for extreme durability
- Bright LEDs are easy to see even in bright daylight
- Uses the same power source as your pedals

Filters at the speed of your faucet
Double filter technology allows you to filter your water as you fill and again as you pour

Instant Fresh Water!
By Mommy2LGG
from CT
Comments about CamelBak Relay™ Replacement Fresh Filter 3pk:
I love the CamelBak Relay! Now on my second filter, I am tracking how many times I refill the dispenser to see how long it takes me to get to the recommended 128 refills instead of automatically changing the filter after 4 months. I wish there was some sort of color indicator to tell me when the filter is no longer working optimally. I find that I drink more water during the day because the chlorine is filtered out and not being ingested. I wish the Relay could filter out other things, too, but according to our city water department, chlorine is the biggest offender. The filters are very easy to prepare, running each end under the faucet and just setting in place..everything fits well! I bought the 3-pack so I'll always have a filter ready for use. Great product!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

DarthMod: Shogun II v4.4+++ Released!2 years ago DarthMod: Shogun II 4 comments
v4,4 Enforced Edition got its last hotfix +++ to celebrate New Year's Eve!
In the darkest age of Japan, endless war leaves a country divided. It is the middle of the 16th Century in Feudal Japan. The country, once ruled by a unified government, is now split into many warring clans. Ten legendary warlords strive for supremacy as conspiracies and conflicts wither the empire. Only one will rise above all to win the heart of a nation as the new shogun...
Darth Vader of TWCenter.Net
As mentioned before Shogun 2 & Fall of the Samurai Retexture & Performance Project by Superghostboy is no longer available as an option because it was not possible to prevent potential problems to users. However it is a highly recommended mod which you should try by manually installing.
It was not possible to add more due to upload limitations of Steam Workshop version.
Read The Full Changelog.
A must have mod for every player of Total War: Shogun 2. After the thorough research of Demokritos, the author, all units of Sengoku period have realistic uniform and banners colors.
Just pay attention to these images. Do you see the difference? Soldiers have much more variety in appearance thanks to the magnificent touch of =Vastator=. All Sengoku period of every DLC have this careful design.

With the included "Daimyos & Generals MOD" you can see famous Sengoku period Generals with realistic appearances, like Takeda Shingen and Date Masamune above.
And also BullGod offers us an awesome unit variety for the Portuguese Tercos.
Indeed they look like real now.

you need to uninstall and reinstall, sorry. and when you boot up you always click dx9 and never 11
wow...it's a good thing microsoft is being an *** and not letting me get service pack for vista, directx 11 isn't compatible and can only reach directx 10
is dx11 not work very well? because my game runs, just not very well and on the lowest setiings for everything
i want an offline avatar mode.
Don't we all.
the only thing i hate about the choskabe is the miyoshi clan ( green guys) they just stack up units in there castle
They never did that for me, when I raided their castle they had (literally) 4 units in there, equalling to around 500 men. I had almost 1300 men :3
Date is epic. Start at the top of the island and takeout everyone til you hit the bottom. Also very good swords men 2 of mine can take out a 4 to 5 squads of pikes.
2 groups of swordsmen can do that anyways idiot. Because all sword infantry are superior to spear infantry
Ah, but now you get better big 2 handed swords and a rather awsome colour scheme and symbol as well as one of the strongest starting points.
Lowest Rated (2 agree) 3/10
Game is not that great, I prefer Medieval II over this. With all the charging for the DLC contents, might as well just download mods for this game off of moddb. "Charging For DLC" = Epic Fail.
Also, I feel as if Shogun II developers are trying to torture me with the game's start-up logo wait time. I'm losing patience with this game, why does it take Medieval II seconds to load and an eternity for Shogun II.

Frontier Cable Internet provides online enthusiasts with some amazing possibilities. Sure you have other choices when it comes to Internet service in Churchton. Though it's accurate to call options like satellite and DSL broadband high-speed Internet, they lack the firepower that defines Frontier Internet service in Churchton. To an extent, DSL does offer some of the same high-performance options as cable speed Internet. DSL providers fail to mention that DSL is a distance-sensitive technology. This means you need to live within 2-3 miles of the provider hub to pick up signal at full-strength, a flaw making DSL service prone to spotty performance. Satellite Internet service offers a high speed Internet connection wherever you live. Drawbacks include the need to purchase or lease expensive equipment. Satellite Internet service often comes with a maximum bandwidth allowance per day. With Frontier Internet at the helm of your Churchton home, you'll enjoy a reliable, lighting quick connection that comes without limits.

Two, it works without relying on your phone line which allows you to make calls while you peruse Websites. Frontier high speed Internet recognizes there are a variety of online users. That's why there's a variety of cable broadband plans available from Frontier high speed Internet. If you plan to download a lot of large files, play online games and view streaming video content, Frontier Internet in 20733 has you covered. Maybe your Web needs run simple. Reliable web surfing and quick e-mail access will do the job for you. No one does that better than Frontier Internet in 20733. If your tastes lie somewhere in between, no problem. Frontier high speed Internet covers all the bases.
Frontier high speed Internet delivers some tantalizing possibilities to residents living in 20733. Other choices definitely exist when it comes to broadband fast connections. They lack the potency that defines Frontier cable Internet in 20733. To a certain degree, DSL service bears some similarities to Frontier high speed Internet. DSL service providers neglect to tell you their brand of technology relies on proximity. This is a real drawback as DSL subscribers must live within 2-3 miles of the signal source to pick it up at maximum strength. Beyond that, a DSL connection tends to function poorly. You'll hear a lot of talk about how satellite Internet service is available everywhere. This is indeed true. However, the equipment required to run it is costly, so is the service. Furthermore, providers often impose daily bandwidth limitations. You won't see anything like this with Frontier cable Internet in 20733. You can count on Frontier cable Internet to deliver reliable, high-bandwidth service at an affordable rate to your home in 20733. It's fast cable Internet without limits.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Exotic Feline Breeding Compound, Inc., Rosamond, CA, USA
I have been volunteering at the EFBC for a year and still can't wait to get there every weekend. It's a safe, meaningful, and fulfilling experience. Volunteers are depended on to take care of the felines, provide a quality of life factor, and spend time with them. They hold many events over the year that also add fun and excitement. We are held accountable for safety of fellow volunteers as well as learning about the cats. It is not a free for all, they make sure you are ready before they allow you direct contact. Their purpose and goals are incredible and successful. I have a part in feline conservation, education to the public on endangered species, and preventing cats in the wild from being put in zoos. It has been a wonderful experience and I am sure it will continue to be for as long as they will have me!

Many APTA business members have no idea of the unusual significance of Michael Melaniphy being selected to be the president of the association. Why is it so gratifying to business members? One need only know the history of the many years business members struggled just to be allowed to be members of the public transit association.
In the early years, before the merger of the American Transit Association (ATA) and the Institute for Rapid Transit (IRT), which formed APTA in 1975, businesses were banned from being members. Manufacturers, consulting organizations and transit suppliers had to request permission to have a hospitality suite in the same location where the transit convention was being held and were even barred from participating or attending sessions.
The two associations were sensitive as to how their organizations appeared to the Urban Mass Transportation Administration providing federal funding support. The restriction was the associations' way of maintaining purity as a public organization. They feared business-for-profit organizations within its membership would taint their standing as representing public agencies seeking funding from the federal government.
The ban on accepting business organizations and suppliers as members continued until after 1975. A short time later, businesses were accepted as dues- paying members with very limited participation and no role in the governing structure of the transit association.
During the time businesses were banned, members of various large supplier organizations formed a committee that met once a year for the purpose of donating and providing the association's annual meeting banquets with popular top names in entertainment and live dance bands. Representatives from companies such as General Motors, Westinghouse, Motorola and American Seating, to name a few, would hold their ad hoc meeting in the winter months of the year.
Still, businesses were not permitted as dues-paying members to participate in APTA leadership or committees. The number of suppliers in the association began to grow and the committee on entertainment tried its best to enlarge the ad hoc committee in order to increase the level of donations for the entertainment activity of the association. Much time was spent by committee members to convince supplier companies to join APTA. It was more difficult to plead with new business members to join and support the entertainment committee.
In 1979, a business member by the name of Bob Graham, an owner of a transit supplier business, became chairman of the committee of business members. He convinced the committee to become formally established as an active and vital working group within APTA, with officers and bylaws as an official organization. Furthermore, the new organization sought recognition and acceptance within APTA as a full participating business member organization. Ideas were floated and attempts were made at that time to form a transit supplier association outside of APTA.
Going it alone was debated heatedly for several years. The board realized they were not an industry unto themselves but that public transportation was the industry they served and there was more to gain for business members to support APTA in their effort with congressional funding needs. Graham's plan suggested a unified public and private approach to federal public transportation legislation would be of greater benefit to both groups. It was criticized as being wishful thinking on the part of suppliers to think APTA would consider allowing business members to share in its governance.
When Jack Gillstrap became president of APTA, the writer of this post and a representative of a Long Island aircraft manufacturer asked for a meeting with Gillstrap to broach the desire of the AMBG to come full participants in APTA's governing structure. The plan called for representation on the APTA's governing body, the Executive Committee and other committees. Gillstrap opened the door to opportunities for AMBG to be represented on the Executive Committee with two members. At the continual urging of business members for the next 20 years, more progress was made by expanding more opportunities for business members to engage in the governance of APTA with more representation.
Meanwhile, what was known as the AMBG adopted a new identity as the Business Members Board of Governors (BMBG). When Bill Millar became president of APTA, the BMBG became increasingly more recognized as a vital role in the governance of the association. Representation on the Executive Committee was increased to three, a vice president position was opened to a business member, but business members were limited to sharing equally with the public sector in allotted positions, but not the chairmanship of APTA.
When Bill Millar announced his retirement, little did anyone think that a new president would be drawn from within APTA and certainly, in no way a member of the BMBG. After all the years of resisting business members from sharing in the governing structure of APTA, they made a giant leap and drew from the ranks of the BMBG business members by selecting Michael Melaniphy for the top position of APTA.
A remarkable achievement has been made by business members, but APTA is still the major public transportation association representing all public transportation agencies throughout the United States. Transit manufacturers, suppliers, consultants, and public transportation supporters are for good reason openly welcomed to APTA and encouraged to become fully involved. The position of president of APTA is a bonus that was never dreamed of.
Typically, when riding the rails in the Philadelphia region, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority customers can purchase daily, weekly or monthly passes — even onboard tickets — for their journeys. But the weekend of Sept. 26 to 27 will be far from a typical weekend in Philadelphia — Pope Francis will be in town, along with an estimated 1.5 to two million people attending public events along the city's Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
Transit authority operators nationwide have been victims of sometimes brutally violent acts, but in Philadelphia, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority has had a decrease in bus operator assaults by almost 60% since 2011. How did they do that?
The cost of copper was around $2.50 a pound in mid-June. While that might not sound like a lot of money, when you have hundreds of feet of copper wire, you're talking about thousands of dollars or more. Transit systems, which utilize copper in wiring, are the latest target for thieves looking to make some easy cash.
While PTC may have just recently entered the consciousness of the public at-large, it has been an issue for freight and commuter rail systems since Congress passed the Rail Safety Improvement Act (RSIA) (P.L. 110-432) in 2008 following the collision between a Metrolink commuter train and a Union Pacific freight train in Los Angeles. Since that time, rail organizations have been working toward meeting the federally-mandated PTC implementation deadline of December 31, 2015. With less than six months to go, several commuter rail systems have said that, not only will they not meet the deadline, they will need several more years before having full PTC implementation on their trains.
Disruptive technologies and the new era of information sharing are helping to evolve and advance public transportation in our nation's greatest cities. Nearly 300 mayors and government officials convened in San Francisco June 19-22 for the U.S. Conference of Mayors' 83rd Annual Meeting, featuring remarks from President Obama and former U.S. Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. I was invited to speak in front of these influential government leaders to discuss "Technology and the Transformation of Urban Transportation."

If you squint just right, a keyboard forms the perfect chisel. Sort of. It's certainly versatile enough for chipping tiny cube-sized holes upon a gargantuan cube edifice, and as Diablo taught us, rapid clicking only strengthens our flexor digitorum. Yes, we just looked that up. Still, Peter Molyneux's multiplayer snick-sim won't appear on the PC anytime soon. Speaking to Rock, Paper, Shotgun, the
You're unlikely to find out what life-changing secret is supposedly buried in Peter Molyneux's giant box of dreams, or get the chance to buy that $50,000 pickaxe you've been saving up for. You could however get the chance to take a look at whether there's more to Curiosity than its basic chip-chip description makes it seem. The beta runs every day this week from 16:00 - 17:00 GMT.
In a world where questions have no question marks, there exists a trailer. It is a trailer about the future. In the future there is box. Nobody knows what is inside the box. Perhaps that it is full of lost question marks, or maybe owls, or maybe a giant spinning picture of Peter Molyneux's laughing face. All we know is that 22 Can's first experimental project has been pushed back until September.
Peter Molyneux's new studio, 22 Cans are creating a massively multiplayer game that includes £50,000 DLC. Curiosity will be the first in 22 experiments designed to explore our interactions with social media. And our bank accounts, by the sounds of it.

Conservatives Without Conscience : How and why has the conservative leadership in this country become so cruel and amoral? To answer this question John Dean, author of the best-selling Worse Than Watergate, takes a critical look at the conservative movement's inner circle of leaders in the Republican Party. Dean finds their polices and mind-set to be fundamentally authoritarian and, as such, a danger to democracy. By examining the legacies of old-line conservatives including J. Edgar Hoover, Spiro Agnew, and Phyllis Schlafly and of current figures such as Dick Cheney, Newt Gingrich, and leaders of the Religious Right, Dean presents an alarming record of abuses of power. His trenchant analysis of how conservatism has lost its bearings serves as a chilling warning and a stirring inspiration to safeguard constitutional principles.
