Aboriginal Title and Indigenous Peoples: Canada, Australia, and New Zealand (Law and Society)By: Haijo Westra (editor), Louis A. Knafla (editor)Hardback
1 - 2 weeks availability
DescriptionDelgamuukw. Mabo. Ngati Apa. Recent cases have created a framework for litigating Aboriginal title in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The distinguished group of scholars whose work is showcased here, however, shows that our understanding of where the concept of Aboriginal title came from - and where it may be going - can also be enhanced by exploring legal developments in these former British colonies in a comparative, multidisciplinary framework. This path-breaking book offers a perspective on Aboriginal title that extends beyond national borders to consider similar developments in common law countries.

Patch v0.1
This may be a 10.8/clang only issue, but when I tried to build yesterday, I got an error when casting nil to NSOpenGLPixelFormatAttribute (aka unsigned int). That's being used to terminate the array of attributes.
According to the docs, -[NSOpenGLPixelFormat initWithAttributes] expects a 0 terminated array which we aren't explicitly doing in a couple cases - instead we're casting nil.
We do end up doing this correctly later in GLContextProviderCGL.mm

Skip to comments.New Doctor Who to be announced on BBC1 tomorrow night
Posted on 01/02/2009 10:29:16 AM PST by the scotsman
'The name of the actor who will replace David Tennant in Doctor Who will be announced on Saturday.
Tennant said in October that he would stand down from the show after filming four special episodes in 2009.
His replacement - the eleventh Doctor of the TV series - will be revealed in a Doctor Who Confidential programme on BBC One at 1735 on 3 January.
The casting was confirmed over Christmas and filming for the 2010 series begins in the summer.'
(Excerpt) Read more at news.bbc.co.uk ...
Danny DeVito. Danny DeVito.
Please let it be Danny DeVito!
W has a new gig?
As a sci fi fan, I have to say the Dr. Who, bites the big one.
It hasn't been the same since the Tom Baker years.
I really like the guy and last few seasons, it's going to stink without him. But I'll still watch, our entire family loves the shows, it's family night when Dr. Who's on. Great show.
As a non sci-fi fan, I LOVE the 'new' Dr Who of Eccleston and esp. Tennant.
Remember Dr Who is a family sci fi show, not an adult one.
I thought there were only supposed to be seven...this makes what...ten, eleven iterations of the Time Lord?
They wanted Robert Carlyle (Trainspotting, 28 Weeks Later) but he signed on for the new Stargate seres, to the dismay of the BBC.
Cant agree.
The post Baker years (81-89) WERE pretty crap, but the Tennant and Eccleston 'new' Dr Who years have been great imo.
Russell Brand?
I like Tennant as well. Hate to see him go.
If its that guy I'm done with the show permanently.
For all you Freepers living in your Mom's basement.
As an aside, had a friend that was so into Star Trek, even after he was married, that I always questioned whether he made his wife dress up like those green women.
Or whether he made his TV remote control look like a phaser.
Well, John Entwhistle is dead, otherwise I'd have posted his photo as a choice for the role.
After all, it is the Year of the Ox and he was in The Who.
I have the Star Trek Enterprise Telephone...................
= )
Yvonne Craig would tend to do that to a fella:
Oh please, please, please...
Well, if you're in an NHS hospital, everyone really cares about "Doctor, WHERE?"
She played the green gal? No wonder I liked her as Batgirl so much.
Yikes, where is that from? I guess it is true that it's cold in space.
Saving the Earth (if not the entire universe) is dangerous work. The Doctor lived out over eight hundred years on his home planet and used only one body (the first Doctor). Yet in less than fifty years on Earth, he has managed to use up ten of his twelve cat like lives - ouch!
I thought I'd find you here....

Russell Brand calls George Bush a 'retard' at MTV awards
The Kenny Everett Video Show and The Kenny Everett Video Cassette
In 1978, London's Thames Television offered him a new venture, which became the very successful and ground-breaking Kenny Everett Video Show. This was a vehicle for Everett's characters and sketches (his fellow writers were Ray Cameron, Barry Cryer and Dick Vosburgh), interspersed with the latest pop hits, either performed by the artists themselves, or as backing tracks to dance routines by Arlene Phillips' contemporaneously risque dance troupe Hot Gossip (which featured Sarah Brightman).
It was so successful that pop and TV stars queued up to make cameo appearances, including Rod Stewart, Billy Connolly, Kate Bush, Cliff Richard, Freddie Mercury, Terry Wogan and Suzi Quatro (see also "Friends" section below) and classical musicians such as Julian Lloyd Webber(clip).
These shows were also unusual in that there was no studio audience or laughter track. The only reaction sounds were those of the writers, staff and crew (given this small audience the shows were recorded at Thames Television House in small studios normally used for current affairs programmes, rather than at Thames's main site at Teddington, Middlesex.
Everett would often ad lib and deviate from the script; his bloopers were sometimes left in the final cut and on several occasions he pulled the camera around the studio revealing the crew not quite sure what was going to happen next. Quite often the crew were victims of his humour - on one occasion Everett encouraged the crew to sing "Happy Birthday" to a cameraman, presenting to him a cake which he duly pushed in the cameraman's face.
There were also the stories of Captain Kremmen, a science fiction hero voiced by Everett and originally developed for his Capital Radio shows, who travelled the galaxy battling fictional alien menaces, along with his assistant Dr Gitfinger and his voluptuous sidekick Carla. In the first three series these segments were animations created by the Cosgrove-Hall partnership (responsible for the successful children's cartoon series Dangermouse, among many others). In the fourth series (Video Cassette) Kremmen was featured as live action, with Anna Dawson playing Carla; the segments were comedy shorts, rather than the erstwhile stories.
Of course not.
This from someone who refers to Frederick's of Hollywood as a Home Entertainment Center.
Only if she can appropriately fill the costume.
Yvonne Craig was spectacular. Do a search for her pictures and don't forget a bib!
'Matt Smith has been named as the actor who will take over from David Tennant in Doctor Who - making him the youngest actor to take on the role.
At 26, Smith is three years younger than Peter Davison when he signed up to play the fifth Doctor in 1981.
Smith will first appear on TV screens as the 11th Doctor in 2010.
He was cast over Christmas and will begin filming for the fifth series of Doctor Who in the summer. Tennant is filming four specials in 2009.
Smith was named as Tennant's replacement in Saturday's edition of Doctor Who Confidential on BBC One.'

Not many people trust investment bankers – least of all investment bankers themselves. But at the Wall Street bank JPMorgan, there is now little doubt which type they trust the least.
Tucked away in this week's autopsy report on the London Whale saga was an illuminating story about the psychology of the trading floors.
At the heart of the scandal was that the London Whale Bruno Iksil's division, formally known as the Chief Investment Office, had taken catastrophically vast, and stupid, gambles on derivatives that turned out to be worth way less than its traders had thought.
Derivatives are valued on banks' books at the price they would change hands in the market were they to be sold – the transactional value. As the Whale's disaster unfolded, his traders became increasingly paranoid that rivals were deliberately misreporting the transactional value of their derivatives to make Mr Iksil's losses even worse. The beasts!
But which villainous Wall Street outfit could they suspect of such Dr Evil moves? The Vampire Squid Goldman Sachs? The short-selling titan John Paulson? The pokerfaced David Einhorn?
Nope. Their main suspect of deliberately "framing" prices against them were those nasty individuals working at the Investment Bank division of . . . JPMorgan.
Guess it takes one to know one.
Kerimov caught offside in Kremlin power play
Suleiman Kerimov, the oligarch who loved Brazilian star Roberto Carlos so much he signed him to play for his far-flung club, built a billionaire's fortune thanks reputedly to loans from Russian state-owned banks.
They largely funded his determined drive to corner a large part of the global fertilisers market through the potash company Uralkali.
Now it looks as if he is about to sell his stake under pressure from the same Kremlin that reportedly helped him buy it. But serious questions remain about how much of the proceeds will flow back to the Russian people in tax receipts.
Mr Kerimov built his position in the potash world thanks to reputed loans of $6bn (£4bn) from Russian state banks. Strong connections in the Kremlin reportedly did not hurt his rise. However, he overplayed his hand with the powers in Moscow by destroying a lucrative joint venture (for which read "cartel") with Russia's neighbour, Belarus.
Outside the Through the Looking Glass world of Russian business, this would have been contained as a corporate spat. But it quickly erupted into a geopolitical row when Belarus's eccentric dictator, Alexander Lukashenko, issued an arrest warrant for Mr Kerimov and jailed his chief executive.
Minsk's anger seems to have worried Vladimir Putin, who values a relatively stable relationship with Belarus as he attempts to persuade his other satellites to look east, not west. Mr Kerimov, Kremlin watchers say, miscalculated.
Whichever Kremlin ally buys Mr Kerimov's shares, the tax he pays back to Russia is a matter of some intrigue. Like many oligarchs, Mr Kerimov holds political office, being a senator representing the unruly republic of Dagestan. New anti-corruption rules announced this year insisted Russian state employees be barred from holding assets outside Russia. Oligarchs had three choices: take the Roman Abramovich route and quit their political positions back in the motherland; sell or bring back to Russia their foreign assets; or exploit a get-out clause allowing them to keep their foreign wealth abroad in blind trusts.
Mr Kerimov plumped for the latter, transferring his offshore assets into his Switzerland-based Suleiman Kerimov Foundation. His 22 per cent stake in Uralkali was held in Cyprus and, according to Interfax, has been apparently been transferred to the foundation – seemingly far from the grasp of the Russian taxman. If so, that can only mean bad luck for the Lucerne-based tycoon's constituents back in impoverished Dagestan.
UK funds' blood money from US gun holdings
If only it didn't come around so often. I've made it a habit that, every time a gun nut goes on the rampage in the US, I pen here the latest on the financial partying at the makers of the guns used to do the massacring.
The manufacturers are often partly owned by British pension and investment funds, so it seems only fair to keep their investors up to speed on how their savings are keeping morticians in business.
So, to Washington DC, where 12 people – mothers and fathers in their 40s and 50s mostly – were murdered this week as they went about their work in the Naval yards there.
It first looked as if the psycho killer's usual weapon of choice, the assault rifle, was the guilty party. Having survived the latest White House attempts to ban such military-style monsters unscathed, gunsmiths Sturm, Ruger & Co and Smith & Wesson must have been terrified: could this finally mean a ban on the hallowed AR-15?
Then it emerged that Aaron Alexis went about his work with a shotgun. Phew. No senators or congressmen in their right minds are going to call for a ban on those toys. But if Sturm and Smith & Wesson were relieved, Cerberus Capital Management's suits must have been firing their Bushmasters in the air with joy.
I'll explain: Cerberus hit a wall of negative PR last Christmas when 20 children were gunned down at Sandy Hook primary school. The weapon was a Bushmaster assault rifle made at Cerberus's Freedom gun factory.
Not enjoying the recoil, so to speak, of angry Californian teachers whose pension fund was a major investor, Cerberus promised to sell Freedom post-haste, cleansing itself of that unseemly cordite-and-death odour, so bad for the brand.
Although the firm says a sale process is ongoing with many keen bidders, there is still no deal. And given that after the Washington massacre there won't be a public uproar about assault rifles, the pressure is off.
All the while, Cerberus has been enjoying the fruits of Freedom's continued success. Second-quarter sales were up 51 per cent on a year ago. The dollars keep rolling in.
Now for that update on UK investors: Schroders seems delighted with the 170,000 shares in Sturm it bought in the aftermath of Sandy Hook. It holds nearly 200,000 now, worth $12m. Shell's pension fund stuck with its $2.8m stake while Barclays topped up a touch to $1.9m. But at Smith & Wesson, maker of the AR-15 used in the Aurora cinema killings, Barclays and Schroders sold big chunks, according to June filings on Bloomberg. But don't worry Schroder investors, your fund still holds 200,000or so, pipping Man Investments to the top spot for UK gun lovers.
Hopefully, it will be a while until the next update …Reuse content

About Håkan Hellström
Seemingly out of nowhere, Håkan Hellström arrived with his smash hit debut single "Känn Ingen Sorg För Mig Göteborg" in the spring of 2000. Although this was his debut as a solo artist, Hellström had been a musician for years. As a member of indie pop/rock cult heroes Broder Daniel and Honey Is Cool -- featuring the Knife's Karin Dreijer -- he had already recorded several albums as a bass player and drummer.
In 1999, Hellström asked some of his musician friends to be the backing band on a demo tape he was going to record. Though he hadn't written songs for his previous bands, Hellström had written quite a few in Swedish on the side. After completing the demo, he sent it to various record companies. He was besieged with offers of a record deal, and finally decided to sign with Virgin, his sole demand being that the album was recorded straightaway. On the album, and in concerts that followed, he was backed by a seven-piece band containing members of Soundtrack of Our Lives, Weeping Willows, and the Broder Daniel founding member, bass player Daniel Gilbert -- all acquaintances from the music scene in Göteborg, Sweden.
His sophomore record, Det är Så Jag Säger Det, was released in 2002, this time drawing influences from Brazilian samba well as Swedish folk singers Evert Taube and Cornelis Vreeswijk. Ett Kolikbarns Bekännelser followed in 2005 before he released Nåt Gammalt, Nåt Nytt, Nåt Lånat, Nåt Blått, an album made up of tracks that didn't make it onto his previous records. Hellström took a step back from the music industry following the birth of his son in 2006, though he did manage to perform the occasional concert, as well as release albums För Sent För Edelweiss (2008), 2 Steg Från Paradise (2010), and Det Kommer Aldrig Va över för Mig (2013). Although all three hit number one, the latter was by far the most successful, going triple-platinum in Sweden.
On June 7, 2014, in his home town of Göteborg, he played for a record-breaking 70,000 people at the Ullevi Stadium. He was joined on-stage by friends including jazz saxophonist Nils Berg, musical stalwart Mattias Hellberg, and Lars-Erik "Labbe" Grimelund. The recordings of this concert were made available at the end of 2014 for streaming. His next album, Du Gamla du Fria, spent three weeks at number one in Sweden, and also charted highly in Norway. ~ Anders Kaasen & James Pearce, Rovi

I am a big fan of Scientific Romance, Steampunk, and Victoriana style gaming overall. I have played many games in the past (Victoriana, Age of Empire, Castle Falkenstien, etc.) and while I liked most of them I always found the systems a bit too much in one direction.
I love the fact that this game has put down some groundwork for doing this sort of gaming with the Savage Worlds system.
Gaslight gives me a great foundation to port in all my fave genre tropes and use it with SW. Years ago i wrote a LoEG scenario for SW and recently tweaked it using some of the rules from this book.
If I were to give feedback, I would ask that they focus less on races and more on meaty bits. Everyone and their grandmother's Victorian game has elves, and other mythic creatures. If anything I would have went for a more Bros. Grimm approach to creating the setting.
I hope to see more development on this game in the next year.
Well first off this isn't a bad system, i rather like the set up. Especially the Attributes and Derived Attributes, this alone gets a thumbs up because i am so tired of the usual d20 OGL rip off. And this introduces a albeitly simular scores, the ability range can vary from 1-6 for a more mundane game, to 1-10 in a more extraordinary game. But there is no limit to the actual score itself. Perhaps the biggest bog down was when you had to develope your skills, i tried using the detailed skill system and found myself going way over in points. Im sure this system works alot better if you use the broad grouped skills variation of the system. Now i love playing Super Heroes, and i always try to test the system when it comes to this. And this is where i was let down. It looks like they borrowed the power/trait system from the Tri-Stat system. And the values of some of the powers and traits were simply borrowd over without taking them into account with the points the game gives you. I tried using a Very High Level game setting, to recreate an important character from my own super hero setting. And found myself 99 points over before i even got to determining drawbacks.
I give this game 3 stars over all, it has a great retake on the attribute system and skill levels. But i found the powers section, less than desirable and perhaps not thought well enough through when pricing them.
Well done setting. The new rules are good, and follow the spirit of the story they are helping to tell. Gazetter is helpful, and gives background for adventures. And of course, there is Rogues Gallery. Not your classic bestiary - it is a gallery of all VIPs from Robin Hood legend. I especially like that authors described different visions of the Legend, and that authors included a few different ways to play them - according to those visions.There is one thing I didn`t like in there, to be honest - there is no Robin, the Hooded Man vision - but it can be easily played with Sherwood, so I can live without it.
Good job, guys!
I didn´t hesitate to make this purchase. I like the classic tales and legends and tell them to my son at bedtime. As a Savage Worlds gamer, I was excited to see the book as well.
After a nice poem, the introduction is about heroes (archtypes) and sets the mood of the setting from a players point of view. After that it comes to character generation, with a few new edges, arcane backgrounds and trappings. Those elements are nicely done, although I would have liked to see more edges and maybe a hindrance or two.
Next is a chapter on swashbuckling adventures and this is really the best part of the book, especially about the acrobatic maneuvers and alternatives for the agility trait test. They really add spice to the setting and I plan to adopt many of them in my non-sherwood homegame. The rules about the archery contest are well done and gives you an idea on how to run similar events in other settings.
The chapter about gear is nothing special and does hardly add any new stuff, if you already own a few savage (medieval/fantasy) products.
The Gazetteer about 13th century England is well written and gives a good overview of the time period. Nothing in-depth, but enough inspiration for a GM to get the game going right away.
The next chapter gives some adventure seeds, that remind me of the SW on sheet adventures. Im not a big fan of them, but OK.
The following Rogues Gallery is great. Friar Tuck, Will Scarlet and everyone else we remember from the stories are well done, in description as well as the stats. I enjoyed this section very much.
The last chapters about mythic sherwood and beast are OK. These parts are problably expected by gamers, but I could have lived without them. They add a new Arcane Background and a few spells. The beast are from a rules point of view well done, as all SW elements in this book.
The downside of this release, is its layout. A boring cover, badly done table formatting and artwork that I have seen other places. The images are OK, but are placed unproffesionally on the pages.
Still content is king, but this book would easily have earned 5 stars with a better layout and artwork. The character sheet at the end is actually the best layoutet item in the book.
I purchased it for 9.95 and it definatly worth it. The normal 19.95 seems a little too much in my opinion.
Summary: A well done setting for SW, well written and with alot of inspiration and good SW rules. Unfortunaly the layout cannot make me go 5 stars. I hope Battlefiled Press will consider this in a new edition and earn the 5.
The game has pro's and cons:
You get two role playing systems to chose from to meet your gaming style
The background history is interesting but way to short and needs to be expanded and fleshed out. The character profiles provided are very well done
The game only provides stats for 17 aircraft and with the exception of the B-35 Flying Wing all were in the air before the war ended in 1945. A technical manual with addition planes was planned but never released
Expected more
I felt that this was an easy and painless prosses that I would repeat anytime I wish to purchase books.
I purchased this product because it has conversion notes to Fudge (product uses the Action System).
Overall I liked it, and I've found one adventure on the internet for the game.
I would have liked to see more setting material.
Not what it could be, more specifically, not much about the Luftwaffe, or the Comic book world Luftwaffe 1946.

LIKED: Great dogfight rules. Also includes two RPG systems allows me to pick and choose my own system from the formalised Core and freestyle Fudge rules systems

DISLIKED: Great Wildwest rules and two RPG systems means it covers the same subjects twice.

QUALITY: Acceptable

VALUE: Disappointed

It's not often that one sees a setting written for Anime d20, especially given the discussions cropping up regarding Guardians of Order's status as a company as of the writing of this review. So, it was a pleasant surprise to see Arakos: the Eighth Age made available, even more so considering that it comes from the author and artist duo who brought us Livin' on a Dream for Heartquest. So how does Arakos stack up?
Overall, it's not bad. The writing's good, and so is the layout for the most part (though the font used for titles and headers could've been a little better). The character artwork's good as well, fitting the anime fantasy style well, even if it is dominated by female characters. Editing is also good for the most part, though a few errors have slipped through (?King NAME?, anyone?).
Mechanics-wise, we're given eight races, along with five classes (though one of them is Anime d20's Adventurer class, reprinted to keep it handy). The races include a few tribes of humans, along with a race descended from alien refugees long ago, another offshoot of that race, the almost-requisite cat-people race, and a race descended from giants. Aside from the Adventurer class, the other classes presented are variations of standard fantasy classes.
It also provides some guidelines as to which attributes, defects, skills, and feats to use and not to use in an Arakos campaign, along with providing new ones associated with the setting. Perhaps the most interesting of the new attributes would be the Ki Guardian, which not only provides a protector for the character who has it, but also gives a background hook for that character in that it requires that someone in that character's life engage in ritual self-sacrifice in order to become one.
There's also a comprehensive section of magic specific to Arakos, divided into four schools of magic for Spirited Sorceresses (one of the classes in the book), along with both light and dark divine spells for the Pure Priestesses (one of the other classes). With all the spell lists, this section easily takes up nearly a third of the book.
The last portion of the book is for the setting itself, and this is where it disappoints. Simply put, the information given on Arakos itself as a world is a bit bare-bones and could've used some fleshing out. Information is given only for a few important locations and only one important NPC (Naomi the Pure, and no stats are given on her, just her backstory). Furthermore, with all the player races available, it's surprising that there aren't any creatures unique to Arakos listed, just some templates to use to convert creatures over to the dark side. It also gives some information on a few artifacts, but no game stats, either.
All in all, this is a book that had a lot of potential, and is still good for what it gives the reader. However, it could've used some beefing-up in terms of the setting. This is even more disappointing given the work that the author has done with just one city in his previous work, Livin' on a Dream. Still, it's not a bad buy, and if you're willing to do some extra work to create more NPCs as well as various creatures for the setting, it's worth a look.

LIKED: Nice artwork, some new races, classes, and various attributes, feats, and skills for the setting.

DISLIKED: The world could've used more development, as well as more NPCs (along with stats on them) and more info on artifacts.

QUALITY: Acceptable

VALUE: Satisfied

LUFTWAFFE: 1946 Role Playing Game
Jonathan M. Thompson and Michael Scott
Battlefield Press, Inc., April 2004 (First Printing)
Downloaded from DRIVETHRURPG.com January 2006
Luftwaffe: 1946 is a role-playing game based on the Antarctic Press comic book series of the same name. I had a slight familiarity with the comic book series so when I say this game I purchased the e-book version. I wish I hadn't.
Luftwaffe: 1946 RPG uses Gold Rush Games ACTION! SYSTEM as its core mechanic. This is both the advantage and disadvantage of this game. It appears that the authors wrapped the ACTION! SYSTEM with the Luftwaffe: 1946 background material. Unfortunately, it appears they didn't translate enough. For instance, combat uses 5ft, 50ft, and 250ft scales. However, the distances in the Combat Modifiers Table (pg 66) are all in meters. Other times it is an inconsistency with naming conventions. For instance, in Chapter 7: Vehicles under Vehicle Speed, paragraph Initiative, the rule states: " An alternative is to roll initiative for each vehicle, using the vehicles initiative modifier." Yet in the Table: Sample Vehicles (pg 88) as well as A List of Typical Luftwaffe 1946 Aircraft (pg 90) there is no "Initiative Modifier†listed, just a Maneuverability Bonus (MB). Is this the same, or not? It is issues like this that render the system near unusable.
One would imagine that in the world of Luftwaffe: 1946 that aerial combat would be key. Air combat rules are here but they are very simplified. If you are looking for an air combat game to add to your role-playing this is NOT the system. You are probably better off finding a simple set of miniatures rules and figuring out how to fit them in yourself. The game includes stats for only 17 aircraft (none with pictures). The least the authors could of done was gone to the Luft '46 website (http://www.luft46.com/) or even used the Antarctic Press Luftwaffe: 1946 Technical Manuals for more illustrations. Furthermore, to an old grognard like me, the only real difference between aircraft is the Maneuverability Bonus. They range from +5 for an A6M5 "Zero†to a –3 for large bombers like the B-35A Flying Wing. This extreme simplification is too much for me. I imagined a robust air combat system in a game where air combat is so important to the storyline and plot. It's not here.
Finally, there is a touchy political issue here that offended me. In the introduction, Ted Nomura (author of the Luftwaffe: 1946 comic book series) gets his say. He discusses the early influences on his art and his quest for accuracy and details in models and eventually drawing. Near the end of his introduction though, he makes some statements that I have trouble just letting go. From page 7:
"Being educated in America and thus thinking that we're a free-press society, I found the obvious censorship of history highly insulting to my intelligence. Thus, beginning in the early 1970s, I made a careful study of Nazi Germany and found out that their atrocities were not much worse than what other major countries had done to their people and their neighbors throughout the centuries of warfare. Focusing on a selected few seemed not only unfair but inaccurate. Telling only half-truths was just as bad as telling half-lies.â€
If you can put the politics aside, then this game may be for you. If you are focused on the RPG aspect and very familiar with the ACTION! SYSTEM them you may be able to use these rules. If you are looking for an air combat game to use in your RPG world, STAY AWAY.
A final note: Apparently there is a newer version of this game out there that has 160 pages versus the 109 in my version. Not having seen this later version I cannot comment further on it.
I hate to write a review about a product that I got for free during a period that it was offered here, but I feel compeled. First off, I would have been HIGHLY dissappointed in this product if I had paid for it. Out of 209 pages, I would estimate that 75-80% of this is rules oriented. Rules, which if I remember right, can be downloaded for free to begin with. I could be wrong about that. I was lead to belive that this product was as much a resource as a RPG. That is NOT the case. The forward claims that this is a game that would be light on combat, but heavy on roleplay. I dont see that from the content. VERY little as far as setting. There are some short write-ups on history, but I would find it more useful if there were more details about the "here & now" of Grantville. As it is, you would be better served to glean info from the books & the 1632 weebsites, then adapt it to whatever game system you feel comfortable with, because this product will not fulfill any of those needs. The introductory adventure in the back is, I hate to use the term, ludicris. It is a town & a premise. It is NOT an adventure. It has potential, but is LACKING in execution. Too bad, as a huge fan of the 1632 books, I had such high hopes for this product. To tell the truth, I was going to convert it to d20 Moder, or d20, anyway.
A very nice looking RPG set in an alternate universe. I never heard of the product before but found the description of the game intruiging and thought I'd give it a try. Very reasonably priced and had no trouble getting it downloaded from site.

LIKED: It sounds like a fun RPG with some elements that aren't too common, like having a fleshed out character flying a 1940's era combat aircraft

QUALITY: Very Good

VALUE: Very Satisfied

Open Core takes all the best and juciest bits of OGC and brings them together, actually successfully melds them seamlessly, and writes an entirely new rules mechanic around them that makes the whole thing work extremely well. It isn't D20. It is, in fact, the newest Linux system upgrade for D20 - all the best things of what's come out so far wrapped into one package that looks somewhat different from the original but is far superior and retains all the best aspects.
Before I go into all the things I liked about it, I will mention all the things I didn't like about it. First of all, I have sundry personal style issues with the game (for instance, I would work the Ability of Special Attacks differently). Most of the issues I have of personal style I will omit, save to say that I am less "rules light" than most people.
There are also numerous sometimes-confusing editing mistakes (such as the CP to Skill points conversion: first of all, it's 1:5, not 5:1, and secondly is it 1:5 or 1:10? ...I'm pretty sure it's 1:5). This also includes a number of copy/paste errors (references to Saves, or to traits that are not part of the main Open Core system).
Now, on to the likeable parts, which is most of it. The system is modular; adding and taking away parts are easy. There are even descriptions of ways to add new traits, a genericized Skill list, and descirptions of how "everyman skills" should work (my term, not theirs). Feats and Special Attacks/Qualities are all brought together into one heading, Abilities (pulled from BESM D20 Attributes). There is also a long list of optional elements that can be added, just to show a few examples.
If you're particularly prolific in purchasing OGC material, you will recognize half of what you see. While sometimes a bit startling, I do not find this to be a fault. This system is not designed to be innovative - it's designed to be the best of what has worked in the past. In this, it is a good purchase, well worth the money, and better than many other "alternate D20" or "alternative to D20" games on the market now.
Having purchased on other product from Battlefield Press (Luftwaffe 1946) which was less than impressive, I must say that it was with some trepidation that I purchased this ... and only really did so because I really really really like Larry Flint's books.
First the good things. BP have taken comments about L46 to heart, and there is considerably more original material in this product (since the ACTION! System is, essentially, free, any pages devoted to it are, essentially, wasted from the "value for money" point of view).
Even so, only 78 pages are new material ... the remaining 131 include the cover, the ACTION! System rules and graphics that are not game specific and which, indeed, seem to be mostly clip art used randomly for no better reason than to fill up space.
The sections on the 1632 background and on the world of the 30 years war are reasonably well done, but, considering that less than half of the book is actually new material, it would have been nicer if the authors had provided much more information on these areas.
The character sketches for the main characters for the book, in A!S terms are also well done.
Now for the bad news. The layout is terrible. As much as I was scathing about the lack of original material in L46, that product was much more professionally done.
This isn't going to make the product unusable ... so if poor layout doesn't worry you, read no further.
The layout is full of widows and orphans, needlessly so ... why? For the simple reason that the illustrations used to randomly pepper the pages (and it seems, for the most part, random) are so poorly placed and sized as to make this inevitable. Tables are similarly poorly placed and sized.
There is no rhyme or reason to picture size ... some are a column width, some less than a column width, some a column and a fraction. All could have been standard sized. Tables are also randomly sized, even when single column or double column sizing would have been easier (and more sightly!) to use.
Several text/other boxes are skewed, set at a slight but noticeable angle off 90 degrees, which is probably meant to look cool. However, for example, on page #23 this actually causes a worse orphan than the poorly considered layout already does! And the few other examples, more often than not, simply look ugly.
The art. That?s a subject all by itself. There are some good, obviously purpose drawn for the book pieces ... many of which are used again ... and again ... and again ... and again ... four or five times in some cases. Says a lot about why the layout sucks, doesn't it?
A lot of the rest is clip-art, or seems to be, and it is used badly. A lot of it seems to be used for no better reason than to fill up space and boost the page count. Which, of course, would be another reason why the purpose drawn for the book pieces are used multiple times.
And even there, there?s the map of Grantville and the circle of territory around it. Instead of a single page or, indeed, a double page, layout for it ... or even a single large sheet insert ... it?s split into quarters over four pages. In the middle of the book. And no, not in colour, and with nothing much in the way of detail that would justify the use of four pages. Or even two, for that matter.
Can anyone say ?padding??
None of this makes the product unplayable ... simply poorly laid out.

LIKED: The ACTION! System is a pretty good set of OGL rules, and 1632 uses them. The background chapters for the 30 years war period are fairly good, as is the information specific to the 1632 books. Would be nice if there was more of it, though, considering more than half of the book consists of information that is OGL and, therefore, free.

DISLIKED: Lack of additional material.
Multiple use of the same illustration(s).
Lack of original material not available elsewhere for free.

QUALITY: Disappointing

VALUE: Disappointed

Open Core contains a variety of interesting concepts, but it falls short in execution. There are inconstancies in the rules and the grammar gets in the way of clarity in some places. Although these issues can be resolved (probably) through some careful application of thought, they impose an unnecessary burden on the reader and provide fertile ground for rules lawyers. There are two copies of the Campaign Power Level chart which are in disagreement. The example of character creation uses a ?campaign level? that is not in either of the charts. Some charts are poorly labeled (the skill purchase chart in the character creation example isn?t labeled at all). Numbers in examples do not always add up the way the rules would imply, though there is at least one case where the example is correct (what the designer apparently intended) and the rules themselves were misprinted. Many parts of the rules appear to have been written by somebody that has been deeply immersed in the system and is presuming the reader to be just as intimately familiar with the system. This set of rules is an excellent ?work in progress? that shows great promise and inventive thinking; however, it is in need of stern editorship and proofreading. I really want to like this product and sincerely hope that a revised edition is in the works.

LIKED: The general concept is excellent. It could make a wonderful generic platform.

DISLIKED: Poor editing and proofreading.

QUALITY: Disappointing

VALUE: Disappointed

White House spokesman Josh Earnest spun Fidel Castro's lengthy critique of President Obama Monday as proof his Cuba visit had its "intended effect."
Obama became the first sitting president in nearly 90 years to visit Cuba last week, where he attended a baseball game and did a joint press conference with Cuban president Raul Castro. Obama, who never met with Fidel but added he would be open to it, said during the visit that he welcomed the communist nation's criticism of the United States. Cuba arrested dozens of government critics the day Obama arrived.
Fidel Castro then unleashed a blistering editorial in the Cuban state newspaper that, among other things, assailed Obama's youth.
"So, Fidel Castro offered up a 1,500-word critique of the president's visit to Cuba. Is that a sign that the changes sought by the president are going to be a long time in coming … and how much influence does Fidel Castro still have in that community?" AP reporter Kevin Freking asked.
"Let me start by saying that the fact that the former president felt compelled to respond so forcefully to the president's visit, I think, is an indication of the significant impact of President Obama's visit to Cuba," Earnest said. "We obviously were quite pleased with the reception that President Obama received from the Cuban people. We're also pleased with the kind of conversations that President Obama was able to have with other Cuban government officials."
Castro said Cuba did not need "the empire to give us any presents." He added the Cubans are self-sufficient and "able to produce food and material wealth we need" with their own effort and intelligence:
Castro criticized Obama's "saccharine" encouragement to "forget the past, leave the past, look to the future, look at it together, a future of hope." Considering the tense history of U.S.-Cuban relations, he wrote, Obama's words "risked a heart attack."
"After a merciless blockade that has lasted almost 60 years, those who have died in mercenary attacks on ships and Cuban ports, an airliner full of passengers that detonated in midair, mercenary invasions, multiple acts of violence?" he wrote.
Castro also recounted America's role in the failed 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion, writing that, "nothing can justify this premeditated attack that cost our country hundreds of killed and wounded."
He rejected Obama's claims that America and Cuba were "built in part by slaves…from America" and that Americans and Cubans "can trace their heritage to both slaves and slave-owners."
"Native populations do not exist at all in Obama's mind," Castro wrote and poked at Obama's youth. "Nor does he say that racial discrimination was swept away by the Revolution; that retirement and salary of all Cubans were declared by this before Mr. Barack Obama turned ten years old."
Castro then advised Obama to stay out of Cuban politics.
Earnest said Obama made clear during the trip that the United States had a "rock-solid" commitment to human rights.
"The kind of engagement that President Obama was able to pursue in the context of his visit is the kind of engagement that would not have been possible had he not made the trip," Earnest said. "The president was able to go to Cuba and urge President Castro in person about the importance of human rights. The president was able to stand before a news conference of the assembled global media and make a forceful case for the Cuban government to protect universal human rights."
Earnest touted the joint press conference as something that had "never happened before" and was made possible by Obama's trip. Castro flatly denied during that conference that the Cuban government was holding any political prisoners.
"That also created a venue where a couple of your colleagues were able to ask President Castro about this issue directly," Earnest said. "That's the kind of thing that's never happened before, and there's no denying that that creates some additional pressure on the Cuban government, and again, the fact that the former president felt compelled to respond, I think, is an indication that the trip had its intended effect."

Of the many qualities desirable in a horse, the whimsical one possessed by Mr Ed would rank highly. Paul Nicholls has spent the last two years trying to get inside the apparently convoluted mind of high-class two-mile chaser Twist Magic and, although he appears to have succeeded, he is not sure exactly how. "They can't talk and tell you how they're feeling," he said after welcoming his charge into the winner's circle here, "so you have to try one thing, or another, and stick with what seems to work."
Twist Magic has always had a deal of talent – yesterday's Victor Chandler Chase was the fourth Grade One victory of his career – but his personality would not always let him express it. The key has been to take the pressure off at home by letting him work and exercise by himself; the reward is a horse who is now challenging his own stablemate Master Minded for supremacy in his division.
"He's mentally right now," said Nicholls. "Quite possibly something had been hurting him then that doesn't hurt him now. He wouldn't go on the gallops, he'd get in a tizz and hold the string up or he'd be perfectly capable of stopping halfway and planting himself. To not want to gallop, or even start, there must have been something troubling him that we couldn't find. On his own he couldn't cause any hassle and he started to relax, and that has turned him inside out physically as well and I've never seen him look as well as he did today. He's grown up in every way."
The quirks are still there below the surface, though. Before the race, Ruby Walsh had his feet out of the stirrups and rode like a cowboy to the start, keeping all tension from his body and hands. As the runners circled behind the tapes, Nicholls' assistant, Dan Skelton, was there as a familiar, guiding presence for the reformed delinquent.
"The atmosphere on the racecourse can get to him," added Nicholls. "He fell out big-time with Sam Thomas at Cheltenham last year, dropping him a couple of times on the horse walk. And even though he's much more settled now, you wouldn't want him to get away with anything even once."
In his bad old days, Twist Magic had run an out-of-sorts second in yesterday's contest two seasons ago after winning the Tingle Creek Chase. This time, at 11-8 favourite, he followed last month's Sandown success with a similarly classy display. Walsh took him to the front after the third obstacle and, unlike his market rival Petit Robin, the only one to go with him as he started to draw away, crossed every fence foot-perfectly and came home 12 lengths clear. "He jumps, doesn't he?," was Walsh's succinct comment.
Next stop for Twist Magic, who carries the colours of Barry Fulton, Tony Hayward and Michael Lynch, will be another tilt at the Champion Chase, in which he has fallen and run sixth in the past two years, both behind Master Minded.
"He's never been lucky at Cheltenham before," said Nicholls, "and I needed him to win this today, just to show me he is a different horse this season, and that it will be worth going to the Festival again."
Bookmakers were divided in their opinions about Twist Magic's Champion Chase prospects; he has universally overtaken Irish-trained Forpadydeplasterer as clear second market choice, but at prices from 4-1 to 9-1.
Master Minded is a warm favourite and Nicholls reported yesterday that the seven-year-old, sidelined by rib injuries since an unexpected defeat in November, is making mighty strides towards his bid for a three-timer in the two-mile crown and is likely to reappear in the Game Spirit Chase at Newbury next month.
The next of the Manor Farm stars to step into the spotlight will be last year's Champion Hurdle runner-up Celestial Halo, who takes on some of Ireland's best, including Solwhit, at Leopardstown this afternoon. Yesterday's prep for the big race, in the mud at Haydock, produced a third successive defeat this season for the reigning king Punjabi, this time at the hands of Medermit.
The grey six-year-old, trained by Alan King, was only narrowly beaten by another Irish championship contender, Go Native, in one of the Festival novices' contests last year, and has now entered the title race's wide-open market as a 16-1 shot. "We can dream now," said King. "He needs to be fresh, so he'll go straight there."
By Nicky Henderson's recent standards, yesterday was only an ordinary day at the office, with second spots for Petit Robin, Punjabi and then Tasheba, who chased home Mamlook in the handicap hurdle here. It was a better one for the David Pipe team; the stable's beloved veteran Well Chief came home safely in fourth place in the feature chase, then 20 minutes after Mamlook's victory, Our Vic shrugged off his years to take the Peter Marsh Chase at Haydock. The gallant 12-year-old made all the running under his young rider Danny Cook.Reuse content

Arizona Diamondbacks
Gambo: D-backs never close to trading Upton to Texas
The internet has been abuzz with rumors about the Arizona Diamondbacks trading right fielder Justin Upton to (fill in the blank).
Over the last few days, the most prominent and frequent rumors have had the Texas Rangers strongly pursuing Upton. Friday morning, MLB Network's Peter Gammons went as far to tweet that he witnessed a Rangers official telling an official from the Houston Astros that they had landed Upton.
Not so fast, says Arizona Sports' John Gambadoro on Twitter.
Contrary to reports the Diamondbacks were never close to trading Justin Upton to Texas, that report is 100% false!
— John Gambadoro (@Gambo620) December 7, 2012
Acknowledging the absent punctuation that muddles the meaning, the Diamondbacks were never close to making the deal with Texas.
Gambadoro acknowledged in a phone conversation that Arizona does hold Texas shortstops Elvis Andrus and Jurickson Profar in high regard, but Texas isn't interested in moving either player right now.

Wassily Leontief and Input-output Economics by Erik Dietzenbacher
Book DescriptionWassily Leontief (1905-1999) was the founding father of input-output economics, for which he received the Nobel Prize in 1973. This book offers a collection of papers in memory of Leontief by his students and close colleagues. The first part, 'Reflections on Input-Output Economics', focuses upon Leontief as a person and scholar as well as his personal contributions to economics. It includes contributions by Nobel Laureate Paul A. Samuelson who shares his memories of a young Professor Leontief at Harvard and ends with the last joint interview with Wassily and his wife, to date previously unpublished. The second part, 'Perspectives of Input-Output Economics', includes theoretical and empirical research inspired by Leontief's work and offers a wide-ranging sample of the state of interindustry economics, a field Leontief founded. This is a strong collection likely to appeal to a wide range of professionals in universities, government, industry and international organizations.

This tour is great if you're looking to get a real taste of Arabic culture! Visit Sheikh Zayed Mosque to understand the importance of the Sheikh to the UAE people, and then head to a unique falcon sanctuary to see the country's national bird – a symbol of force and courage – in action.
November 2015
The falcon hospital was amazing and the mosque was breathtaking. Definitely good combining these 2 things in the same day. You get to let the Falcons perch on a glove while you pose for pictures.

About the Owner
About Hayley Wilkens
Bought the house in 2000 and moved in the house in 2001 moved back to the UK in 2007 since then we have used it as our beautiful holiday home. We have made it into a holiday home where you really don't have to go anywhere else. We love it and we hope you will too.
Hayley Wilkens purchased this villa in 2000
Why Hayley Wilkens chose Torrevieja Area
Our house is very close to San Miguel de Salinas village where there is lots to do and all the amenities you will need. We purchased it for the excellent school, medical centre and the closeness of a typical Spanish village but still being very close to beautiful beaches and all tourist attractions, best of both you could say
What makes this villa unique
Our property has been lived in by us and holidayed in by us so it really is equipped with everything you could possibly need. We have a Private Pool, BBQ, English TV, Internet, Pooltable, Table Tennis Table, Basketball net, Treadmill, Weights, plenty of Towels and Bed linen and all in excellent condition, there really isn't anything else you could want.

Perfect family villa
Fantastic weeks stay at the villa. Beautiful and very clean. Hayley and the team were more than helpful, supplying us with information on the local area. Pool cleaning staff were very friendly as were the local taxi firms (we used the same company everyday) . Car hire we feel is essential as there are no little shops in the village. Would definitely use the villa again.
We had a fabulous holiday in this amazing villa - 6 adults and 2 twelve yr olds. Equipped with everything you could wish for, a real home from home. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful. Car hire required especially if young child in the group.
we would love to return at some point.
Stunning villa, everything you need....
I stayed here for a week in August with my two teenage sons. The villa itself is stunning, with beautifully kept rooms and plenty to do. It is immaculately clean and maintained to the highest possible standard.
The kitchen is equipped with everything you may need and leads onto the steps to the outside area at the rear of the property. We spent every evening outside and ate at the table provided there overlooking the pool and the gorgeous views. There are two bathrooms and plenty of space both inside and outside. The furniture is comfortable and modern and I could happily live here!
There is a lot to do both within the villa and in the nearby towns. My sons spent their time between the large swimming pool, billiards table, table tennis and basketball hoop. There is also a TV in the lounge. The swimming pool is meticulously clean and surrounded by beautiful flowers and shrubbery with plenty of sunbeds and patio space all around the villa.
We had hired a car and access to the local supermarket and nearby towns is easy. There is a huge variety of restaurants and bars within local towns, plus nightlife for those who want it. The nearby beaches are also beautiful and well worth a visit. Parking is easy outside of the villa.
I cannot recommend this property highly enough, for the cleanliness, high standard of maintenance, location, things to do and facilities available. It really does have absolutely everything you could possibly need and I didn't want to leave. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to friends and family whatsoever and cannot wait for my next visit!
Fantastic Holiday Home
A fantastic villa - decorated to a high specification and well maintained.
Stayed here with 7 members of my family - loads of space for all!
The pool and grounds are beautiful.
Lovely restaurants nearby and only a short drive to the beach.
We flew in to Murcia Airport which is only a short drive away which makes this a great holiday destination for a family.
I would highly recommend the property and the owners who were excellent to deal with.

Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) update unrooted my device
I updated my note 10.1 2014 to 4.4.2 today. This has unrooted my device. All the root threads in this and other forums are for JellyBean only, and are not working on my note.
Can someone help, or maybe the root thread has to be updated to include 4.4.2?
thanks so much.
