by Jeremiah Johnson, SHTFPlan:
Akin to a broken record, the Obama administration is "working" overtime, over the Labor Day weekend while the oblivious population continues to "enjoy its vacations," mindless to what is occurring around them. The broken record played before in this manner: with Obamacare being signed into law in 2010 just before the weekend, and the NDAA being signed by Obama via autopen while vacationing in Hawaii on New Year's Eve of 2014. The TPP was concluded over the weekend. This is the new norm for the government: do as little as possible during the regular workweek, as "Dudley Do-Nothing," and then morph into Snidely Whiplash over the weekend to unleash new, exciting, terrifying regulations and laws on the subjects (citizens, if you wish).
This past weekend was no different, yet worse. Saturday, September 3rd Obama attended the G-20 summit being held in China. An article out of AFP written by Andrew Beatty and Tom Hancock entitled US, China Join Climate Deal in 'Turning Point' for Planet A turning point it is indeed, with focus placed upon the United States. Here is an excerpt that glowingly lauds Obama's actions:
Obama and his Chinese counter-part Xi Jinping handed ratification documents to UN chief Ban Ki-moon, who said he was now optimistic the agreement will be in force by the end of this year. At a ceremony in the Chinese city of Hangzhou, Obama said climate change would "define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other challenge". History would show that the Paris deal would "ultimately prove to be a turning point", he said, "the moment we finally decided to save our planet". "There's an American saying: You need to put your money where your mouth is. That's what we're doing."
He handed the "ratification documents" right over to the UN. The article goes on to describe how the United States was going to hold itself responsible for the "lion's share" of the world's pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Here are some more parameters:
In its Paris commitment, the US promised to cut its own emissions 26-28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025. For its part the White House is looking for the Paris accord to come into force during Obama's tenure, in part to burnish his climate legacy, but also to ensure it is not derailed by the forthcoming US election.
So, what is happening? Obama has initiated another major redistribution of wealth, in this case to "developing third-world nations" in order to "take responsibility" for being one of the world's major polluters…and "help" those nations to curb their own emissions. Coincidentally, the cited piece shows other reasons this is being done: to make Obama look "good" to the blind ("burnish his climate legacy), and d

"We kept it simple," said Morrison, who also had two assists. "We played with a lot of confidence on the power play, which makes a big difference. We were composed." (Related item: Game report)
The Canucks' late-season push lifted them to the Northwest Division title and the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.
Vancouver is undefeated since going 1-3-2-1 immediately after star forward Todd Bertuzzi was suspended throughout the playoffs for punching Colorado's Steve Moore.
Dan Cloutier made 26 saves and Markus Naslund had three assists set up two goals for the Canucks, who will host Game 2 of the best-of-seven series on Friday night.
"It's a good win for us," Naslund said. "We wanted to get the first win here early and not have the kind of stuff we had last year when we lost the first game. That was good. It's one game but we need three more wins."
Chris Simon and Oleg Saprykin both had power-play goals, and Krzystof Oliwa also scored for the Flames, making their first playoff appearance in eight years.
Miikka Kiprusoff, who set a modern-day NHL record with a 1.69 goals-against average this season, made 17 saves and allowed more than two goals for just the seventh time in 39 games.
The Canucks came in with the worst power play in the playoffs at 15.1% after converting just four of 53 chances in their final 16 games. But they scored on their first two opportunities and finished 4-for-6 with the man advantage.
"They have a good power play and we didn't kill enough penalties," Flames captain Jarome Iginla said. "Sure we got a couple of power-play goals but that's not our game. Five on five is what we want to do and we weren't disciplined enough tonight."
Vancouver scored following consecutive penalties to Ville Nieminen early in the first period. Kiprusoff stopped Rucinsky on a breakaway 2:26 in, but Rucinsky tipped in Ed Jovanovski's point shot eight seconds later.
Salo doubled the lead less than three minutes later, one-timing a slap shot past Kiprusoff with Jovanovski and Rucinsky providing a screen in front.
The Flames, whose regular-season power play was one percentage point better than the Canucks' mark, tied it with a pair of man-advantage goals 28 seconds apart early in the middle period.
Already short-handed, the Canucks were whistled for too many men on the ice. Simon converted the two-man advantage six seconds later after the puck took a funny hop off the glass behind Cloutier. He looked to his right, but the puck was on the left side and Simon tapped it in.
Saprykin tied it at 5:06, but Sedin put the Canucks ahead for good at 12:47.
Ohlund scored with 2:09 left in the second, and Morrison made it 5-2 at 5:26 of the third.
Oliwa scored on a deflection 50 seconds later, but the Flames failed to convert during a lengthy five-on-three power play with six minutes left. Calgary was 2-for-10 with the extra attacker.
Notes: Calgary D Toni Lydman played after missing the final 10 games of the regular season due to a concussion. ... Flames captain Jarome Iginla was making his first playoff appearance since playing two games as a rookie when Calgary last qualified in 1996. ... The last time these teams met in the playoffs was 1994, when the Canucks overcame a 3-1 series deficit in the first round en route to the finals. ... Calgary won the previous meeting in 1989 in seven games and went on to win the Stanley Cup.

For more than nine months since the surgeries to repair his injured right knee, Wilson Ramos has watched his teammates play the game he loves from television and in the dugout. With every medical hurdle, the 25-year-old catcher has grown more anxious and giddy for his first game since that fateful May.
Sunday, a day after taking slides for the first time and getting the green light to play, he finally got his chance. He replaced Ryan Zimmerman as the Nationals' designated hitter in the seventh inning of a 7-6 win over the Cardinals. The crowd in Viera acknowledged his feat with cheers and applause.
"I was a little bit nervous," Ramos admitted later. "A long time ago I see a pitch on the mound. I felt pretty good at the plate."
Facing left-hander Kevin Siegrist, Ramos chopped a grounder to the shortstop and chugged down the first base line for an out. He turned toward the dugout and teammates greeted him with words he has waited since last May to hear: "Welcome back."
Ramos remained in the game for another at-bat. In the ninth inning of a 6-6 game, he smashed a 3-2 fastball from right-hander Eduardo Sanchez deep to right field. Off the bat, the ball looked like a home run but instead it hit the base of the right-center field fence. Ramos missed a redeeming moment by only a few feet.
"I know the wind was blowing in but I hit that ball pretty good," he said. "I was happy."
Johnson feared Ramos was running too hard to first base as he tried to beat out the grounder in the first inning. After the double, Johnson pulled Ramos for pinch-runner Sandy Leon. (Leon scored the game-winning run from third base when Zach Walters smacked a walk-off single.)
"He really looked good," Johnson said. "The gale blowing in and he turned it around and he looked good running the bases. Thank goodness he hit [the double] so far he didn't have to slide."
Ramos faces yet another welcome step on Tuesday, after a day of rest on Monday: He will start his first game at catcher and squat behind the plate for three innings. With every step of progress, he is slowly moving past the mental trauma of such a major injury.
"Right now, I'm trying to forget everything with my knee and just concentrate and play hard," he said. "That's a big step for me today and now I'm very excited and I want to be behind the plate soon."
Zimmerman, who had offseason surgery on his right shoulder, went 1 for 3 with an RBI in his first at-bats in his spring debut. He will serve as the team's designated hitter every other game, alternating with Ramos.

By Greg Farrell, USA TODAY
Shares in E-Trade (ETFC) plunged 59% Monday after a securities analyst said the online bank and brokerage firm was at increased risk of seeking bankruptcy court protection because of the falling values of mortgage-backed securities it holds.
The sell-off, which pushed E-Trade shares down $5.04 to $3.55, came after Citigroup (C) analyst Prashant Bhatia downgraded the stock from "hold" to "sell" and said there was a 15% chance of the company asking for court protection from creditors.
E-Trade disputed Bhatia's bankruptcy forecast, but it has joined other financial firms battered by declining housing values and the resulting turmoil in credit markets.
It said in a regulatory filing on Friday that lower ratings on its mortgage-related securities would lead to "significant write-downs" in value this quarter and that its previous earnings forecast for the quarter could not be relied on. The company also said the Securities and Exchange Commission had begun an informal inquiry into its loan and securities portfolios.
E-Trade reported its first quarterly loss in five years last month. It lost $58.5 million in the third quarter, compared with a profit of $153.2 million a year earlier.
E-Trade President Jarrett Lilien dismissed the Citigroup report as "sensational," saying it created "a lot of unfounded speculation." He pointed out that the company's underlying business was doing well, not just in the third quarter, but through October. The company told customers it could take a $1 billion write-down and remain well-capitalized.
"We're in the business of building value and building the company," Lilien said. "This is very frustrating."
Matt Snowling, managing director of Friedman Billings & Ramsey, said he didn't believe a bankruptcy-court filing was likely. The low price of E-Trade's stock will probably lead to a takeover bid, "once things settle down," he said.
David Trone, managing director of Fox-Pitt Kelton, echoed that sentiment. Because E-Trade does hold some securities backed by mortgages on its balance sheet, "There are certainly more losses to come," he said. "But it is highly unlikely it would get severe enough to cause a liquidity crisis."
Trone estimated there was only a one in 10 chance that E-Trade would not be able to survive the deterioration of the subprime mortgage market.
Without commenting directly on a takeover, Lilien acknowledged that "in our industry, consolidation has always been a theme."
Because of the uncertainty surrounding the stock right now, Lilien said he didn't expect any immediate overtures. Once E-Trade gets through its current issues, he said, "If something happens, as management, we have a fiduciary responsibility to consider offers."

The Good
The Bad
For my full review, please visit: http://mostunreadblogever.blogspot.com/2011/01/tommys-take-on-valherjar-chosen-slain.html
I got this as part of the Haiti bundle and downloaded it mostly out of curiosity but this is some great work.
A fresh approach both rule-wise and setting wise. You play slain warriors taken from Valhalla and sent on special missions to earth.
The AoR system takes a new twist on the balance between precision and speed. Everybody rolls three dice simultaneously and groups them into two groups, one for speed and one for precision, so basically initiative, skill and effect is made as one roll.
This adds a tactical element, should I go first or gamble the other guy misses and focus on hitting.
This is not used only during combat as the speed element can add drama to other rolls. Will I manage to sneak in/pick the lock before the guard appears, etc?
d20 conversion rules are included in the book as well as d20 monster stats.
The concept.
The AoR system, a fresh approach.
It's a multi setting system, we've played modern times, medieval times, WW2, WW1 and Victorian era so far.
Using the AoR system for multiple actions or multi user actions is a bit awkward.
Not really a dislike but there is a learning curve when moving from traditional initiative roll, skill roll, effect roll which can throw some people off.
Excellent, you get both the regular and print friendly versions of the game.
233 pages in the normal book with decent b&w art and well laid out.
A good table of contents in its printed form but I miss a clickable PDF index.
Very Satisfied and looking forward to seeing more products in this line.
BTW the free adventure Candy From a Stranger available from their homepage is good as well.
I came across this game as part of the Haiti Gamers package and thought it looked interesting, so downloaded it.
I was very impressed, great core concept, reminiscent of In Nomine with a Norse twist. The characters are heroes called from Valhalla by the Gods to try to prevent Ragnarok, the Norse apocalypse.
The resolution system in the rules is elegant and straightforward, and i liked the character creation archetypes drawing on the Norse Gods. Alternatively, if you are a D20 modern fan, it has conversion rules for that.
I think this would be a great starting point for a modern horror campaign. I also like that the characters can effectively be from any era or place in Earths history.
There is also a free scenario downloadable from the Monkey Press site.
It would be nice to see more published for this very interesting creation.
Valherjar brings a fresh concept to the table: Undead PCs without angst.
The Valherjar are men and women of all cultures who died in battle for a cause in which they completely believed.
That was the beginning of their adventures.
They then head to Valhalla where they are kept up to date in modern (for whatever era they're in) warfare equipment and tactics.
They're sent back to Midgard (Earth) to battle the agents of the enemies of the Gods, and thus to stave off Ragnarokr for as long as possible.
An exciting concept with limitless potential for high octane fun.

LIKED: The very concept of the setting.
The fresh take on Runic Magic.
The new types of Undead and even the undead undead (Draugr).
The potential for vast amounts of fun.

DISLIKED: Nothing. It was all good.

QUALITY: Excellent

VALUE: Very Satisfied

Disclaimer: I do not own Pandora Hearts
I...don't even know at this point. I'm avoiding my IB Physics lab report, and I really should be working on Pulsating. But I got this instead. Hm. It's a shame I broke up with my of-age-boyfriend before he bought me those pretty fuzzy handcuffs. Anyways, enjoy (if possible), it's late and I'm not entirely confident of how in character they are besides Vincent not acting fake.
Of all things to be dangling precariously in front of his face, it was fuzzy and hued a sweet lilac. Metal gleamed with a clink when the delicate fingers clenching the chain shook them for emphasis. Mismatched eyes narrowed on the horridly curious object before switching to his girlfriend.
"Ada, put those back," he was slightly exasperated, running a hand through golden blonde waves, "We don't need handcuffs."
The girl whined, and stubbornly stood her ground in such a way that one could uproot an oak tree before tearing the constraints out of her hands. "Come on, please? It'd be really fun!" The amount of glee to her tone made him believe otherwise.
To put it simply, Vincent Nightray was dating an occult sadist by the name of Ada Vessalius.
It had been a joke, a game even. The kindhearted girl with the easily exploitable expression and happened to be the little sister of the one and only Oz Vessalius, also known as the arrogant pest extraordinaire that his older brother was fawning over. She had been the weak link to Oz, so that Vincent could shred any possibility of his older brother getting hurt by that the pompous idiot. Unfortunately, he hadn't accounted for the outliers that came in the form of Ada's antics.
Easily wooed and strung along, Ada fit into the Nightray's plans wonderfully. The innocence tracing every delicate feature only encouraged him; there was no way that she would ever understand the degree that he had used her. All it took was an invitation to a football game and he found himself with the girl wrapped around his finger.
Or so he thought.
"Vincent, seriously, you don't even know what I want to do with these," Ada grinned as her words made her boyfriend of a year and a half blanch. She dangled the handcuffs next to her face with a slight bite of her lip, "Please...Vincent?" And Lord, where had this girl learned to make her voice so sultry while her expression looked absolutely oblivious of any erotic intent?
No, Ada Vessalius was evil. She was a temptress hiding under the guise of a sweet girl. And they both knew who was truly trapped under an uncanny spell she may or may not have found in some obscure black magic book.
Within the second month of dating her, Vincent had become to notice strange details about the cheerful girl. Although ditzy, she was beginning to show remarkable signs of wit and intuitive skills. It was beyond her inhuman cooking and cute favors that he found himself surprisingly enjoying, no, Ada was shockingly intelligent when it came to the matters of their families and politics.
But what was most shocking was her room. When she had warned him, and pleaded for him not to run away, he snorted and prepared himself for unicorns and frills. The blonde had most definitely not expected lavish blacks and skulls with candles eerily adorning every corner of the room. His eyes caught what looked to be voodoo dolls before he turned to her with evident shock.
"I like the occult," she had explained sheepishly, before skipping into the depths of her furnished cave to introduce him to all of her plush monsters.
He had been able to handle it after some adjusting. And it soon became endearing as their relationship grew into something sincere. Eventually, he had kept an eye out for the seventy-five cent machines at cheesy restaurants that dispensed the cute toy voodoo dolls she had come to collect. However, she had managed to surprise him when he found out it wasn't just her hobby that was leaning towards the dark side.
Ada Vessalius had a strange kink for bondage and sadism.
After so many months, he had learned to incorporate his girlfriend's odd taste into their sex life. But after so many ties torn from being abused as makeshift bondage instruments, the bizarre girl had taken an unexpected turn that afternoon in the mall, and into a store Vincent had never been in before.
It was riddled with sex toys and untasteful merchandise. Sex and drugs practically oozed from the walls of the incredibly sketchy store. It almost scared him how she seemed to know her way towards the back of the store where there were frightening toys of bright colors. Vincent felt his face heating up the longer they stayed there.
Ada was most definitely the most devious woman he had ever met. And that was how he found himself buying fuzzy handcuffs from a bored woman with too many piercings and tattoos, giggling girlfriend eccentrically by his side.
The cheap plastic bag was handed directly to Ada, leaving no question as to what was going on between the couple. It was obvious who wanted the toy, and Vincent could only smile weakly as he felt her fingers tangle into his. Her other hand swung the bag around happily, leaving the impression there was something far more innocent-like stuffed animals or candy, not sex toys. Only Ada.
"Are you happy now?" Vincent asked as they emerged from the dark store and into the crowds of people. He was rewarded with a happy squeal and a kiss on the cheek. And to be honest, making Ada happy had become somewhat of a guilty pleasure for him. Despite his original bad intent, it had morphed unexpectedly into an entirely different bond. Her smiles, her laugh, and the unconditional love had wrapped around him and sung him into a feeling he was convinced didn't exist.
The couple had taken a seat in the food court, immersed in greasy smells and chatter. The wooden chair was slightly sticky, and Vincent shifted uncomfortably while the blonde girl emptied the contents of her shopping trip onto the table for all to see. Normally, he wouldn't care that Ada was inspecting the size of the handcuffs to his wrists by example in public. He wore an amused expression, somewhat gloating at the looks he would receive. Why yes, he did have a beautiful girlfriend that wanted him tied to her bed. What was to be ashamed of?
Except when his older brother happened to be across the food court, flirting hopelessly with Vincent's girlfriend's older brother. Pleasepleaseplease don't look over and Ada seriously, take them off because Gil is-oh shit. And fuck Vincent's life as he stared back into the eyes of a surprised Gilbert. The only thing worse than being seen playing with sexual fuzzy handcuffs by his older brother was for Ada's over protective brother to see. Quickly, he shoved his hands under the table, concealing purple from view.
Ada giggled, glancing over where Vincent had been staring before panicking, "I won't let him kill you, it was my idea."
She wasn't even phased.
"Ada, Oz would kill me regardless," he stated dryly, fiddling with the lock under the table. Of course she had to get the only pair without the safety unlock. "And now Gilbert is going to tell him. And we'll both die. And you'll never be able to use your handcuffs."
She feigned a hurt expression, reaching under the table clumsily to try and shove the key at his wrists in the most discrete manner she knew how to. "Gil wouldn't say anything," she commented with amusement light in her bell like voice, "He wouldn't mess up the chance to fuck Oz."
Vincent stared at her, trying to register if she really just said that. The lock came apart with a click, and the handcuffs were gently placed into her purse with a small smile.
"Oz needs to stop playing with them," she hummed, reaching across the table to amuse herself with her boyfriend's fingers. They were so much larger than hers, and there was something childlike about her fascination with his hands. She glanced back at the their brothers, who were now chattering with a tiny black haired girl, "They're really cute together. Oz knows what he wants, so I don't get why he's taking so long. We could even go on a double date!"
Vincent, now recovering from the initial scare of fuzzy purple handcuffs, then scowled a little. If Oz's tastes were anything similar to his little sister's, then Vincent was content with never needing to be exposed to both of them in a dating situation. Ever. Ada was enough to handle on her own.
"Let's just go back to my house," the Nightray suggested, getting out of his chair at the moment he saw Oz and Gil with expressions implying they would start coming their way, "We could try those out, hm, beautiful?" His tone was charming as eyes flickered to make sure their brothers hadn't gotten up yet. Being seductive wasn't hard for him, especially as a melting Ada happily took his hand and started out of the foodcourt with him. Although happy he was away from that potential drama, Vincent couldn't deny that he was looking forward to seeing gorgeous Ada handcuffed to his headboard.
He wrapped an arm around her shoulders, feeling her head lying against him as they walked. Oh yes, it would definitely be worth the trouble.
"I figured you'd like the fuzzy ones," she started, her voice clearly excited, "I know how much you tend to squirm, so these shouldn't leave nasty marks on your wrists."
Or not. Again.
Sighing, he chuckled softly and nodded. Really, what was he to do with her? And with all her exasperating antics, he found them all too terribly endearing. Perhaps being the one chained up wasn't so bad, after all, it called for a dominating Ada, and suddenly, Vincent found himself quite alright with that.
Leaning down, he pressed his lips to hers and whispered, "I love you." There was a slight laughed to his voice, and Ada pouted without knowledge as to why he was laughing. Cutely, she continued to pout and mumbled that she did indeed love him too.
Purple, fuzzy, handcuffs clattered in the bag at her waist as they walked towards his car. He attempted to make a suave comment on how sexy she would look in them, and was met with a roll of viridian eyes and a detailed description of how he would be bound up. At the end of the night, after an awkward discussion with Gilbert and skin on his wrists a bright red, Vincent decided that he regretted nothing.

With the trade deadline two weeks away and teams narrowing their wish lists, the Rangers find themselves in a similar spot to most playoff hopefuls: coveting a top-four defenseman.
Ideally, the Rangers would like a right-handed defenseman who could help on the power play as well as bolster a blue line that is currently without Marc Staal. This need has been a long-standing one, actually. The Blueshirts have been seeking, and unable to find, a player who fits this bill since Michael Sauer was injured last year.
They now have one in particular on their radar.
A source confirmed what ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun mentioned earlier this week, that the Rangers have interest in San Jose Sharks defenseman Dan Boyle.
The 36-year-old veteran, who has four goals and eight assists in 26 games for the Sharks, appeals to the Rangers as a smooth skater who can move the puck and improve the power play, and one who can also log heavy minutes. Boyle leads the Sharks with 23:21 in ice time per game, an important element in the wake of Staal's absence.
Staal averaged 24:27 per game before being sidelined with an eye injury that has him on the shelf indefinitely.
The Sharks are in eighth place heading into Wednesday's match against Edmonton and, although it does not appear that GM Doug Wilson desires a massive shakeup, it is believed that Boyle and a handful of other players are available at the right price.
Boyle is not a rental, either, but a source indicated to ESPNNewYork.com that the Rangers are not opposed to adding a player with years remaining on his contract if he's a good fit. Boyle, who previously played under coach John Tortorella in Tampa, has one year remaining after this season on a six-year, $40 million deal that comes with an annual cap hit of $6.66 million.
The question is whether the Rangers are willing to match the asking price of Sharks GM Doug Wilson. It is believed that San Jose wants to add some youth to their lineup without a complete overhaul, but the Rangers are reluctant to part with any of the team's young core players for Boyle.
And, if the Rangers were to take on Boyle's significant cap hit -- especially considering that the cap will lower dramatically next season -- the Sharks would have to be willing to take money back.
That leaves one obvious candidate, Marian Gaborik, who has been dogged by trade rumors for weeks.
Though the 31-year-old sniper is coming off a 41-goal season, the Rangers are open to moving him. Gaborik has been inconsistent this season and he carries a hefty price tag -- a cap hit of $7.5 million for one more year after this season -- but he could add some speed to the Sharks' lineup.
Of course, this is all for naught if Boyle spurns the idea of a deal. He has a limited no-trade clause, although it is not immediately clear whether the Rangers are on the list of eight teams to which he would not accept a trade.
Boyle was asked about the trade rumors Wednesday morning and made it clear he wanted to stay put.
"This is where I want to be. I don't want to be anywhere else," Boyle told Kevin Kurz of CSNBayArea.com on Wednesday morning in Edmonton. "It's not fun to hear that."
Unfortunately for Boyle, he will probably hear more and more as the deadline nears.

The prospect of skiing a full day in Queenstown before hopping on a direct flight back to Australia could soon be a reality now that night flights to the South Island destination's tricky airport will occur for the first time this winter.
Air New Zealand has announced evening flights on the Auckland-Queenstown route from July, and Jetstar could soon follow suit with trans-Tasman or domestic New Zealand flights.
"We're interested in operating evening flights into Queenstown this winter," a Jetstar spokesman said.
"Our operational and commercial review of evening flights is continuing and we'll provide further details once the review is completed."
However, Qantas and Virgin Australia indicated they had no plans to begin night flights this winter.
Destination Queenstown chief executive Graham Budd said the new night flights should boost tourism numbers further, at a time when Queenstown Airport last year reported a 25.9 per cent rise in the number of passengers flying to and from Australia.
"It is really a game changer in terms of access to Queenstown," Mr Budd said of the night flights allowed as late as 10pm. "For most people who live in cities you wouldn't even think about not flying in hours of darkness. But it has been a real constraint for us here."
Queenstown Airport has invested $NZ18 million ($16.5 million) to widen the runway to 45 metres from 30 metres and resurface it with grooving to improve friction, as well as adding lighting. The works are due to be completed in April.
Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority and New Zealand's Civil Aviation Authority accepted the case for night flights in 2014, provided the infrastructure upgrades were made and airlines developed appropriate procedures. Landing at the airport can present challenges for pilots due to the elevation and surrounding mountainous terrain, as well as the winds in the area.
Air NZ chief flight operations and safety officer Captain David Morgan said his airline had put in place extra pilot training for night operations, including an extensive simulator package, but the required navigation performance instrument approach was not any different from the one for daylight operations. .
Air NZ has also ordered a runway overrun protection system from Airbus that indicates if an aircraft is carrying too much energy on approach or not braking sufficiently on landing.
Of the 300 pilots on Air NZ's A320 aircraft, only some operate into Queenstown at present, and the group operating at night will be even more select.
"It is better to have a stable group of senior guys who are operating into Queenstown," Mr Morgan said. "It is a bit unique."
He said Air NZ would eventually look to expand to trans-Tasman flying, which would be no more difficult than domestic operations, but that was not expected this winter.
Queenstown has become an increasingly popular destination for Australians, as reflected in the continued addition of direct flights from the east coast. Hotel search site Trivago said the number of searches for Queenstown had risen 114 per cent in the past year, the most for any overseas destination.
Mr Budd said Queenstown was focusing its marketing efforts on the shoulder periods of May-June and September-October because hotels were relatively full already during the peak summer and winter months.

Help keep children safe on the farm
Farmers are being encouraged to keep children safe on farms over the school holidays with a heightened risk of accidents on farms.
Accidents involving children on the farm peak over December and January, account for more than 22 per cent of injuries to those aged 15 years and under. Seven children died as a result of accidents on farms between 2013-2015. In the 12 years leading up to 2015, almost 20,000 children were injured on the farm.
WorkSafe's agriculture sector leader Al McCone says children are a vital component of farming family life and it was important this tradition continued.
"We do not want to stop children having fun on the farm or helping out mum and dad with jobs, however farmers are responsible for ensuring children are not put at risk.
"Farms come with big machines, big animals and big pressures. Children and their parents need to be aware of the risks farms present and work to manage those risks."
Managing the risks for children is different from managing them for adults, says Al.
"The younger the child, the less risk averse they are, and the more attention needs to be paid by parents or carers.
"Many risks can easily be managed by, for example, using vehicles suitable for passengers, fencing artificial ponds, covering pits, or even creating 'safe kid zones' in dairy sheds, or working together with neighbours as farmers have always done.
"This means farming parents can still keep their children safe during busy work times."
Parents or carers should lock doors to stop children getting into areas they shouldn't and remove keys from vehicles children aren't to drive.
"Even if you have safety guards on machinery, these may still have holes small enough for children to put their hands through."
Many farmers were used to working alone for much of the year, but it was a good idea to think about health and safety when children joined them on the farm, says Al.
"Over recent years, of the 14 deaths of children under the age of ten, seven involved the child being near the parents working. If you're used to working alone, and get stuck on a job or problem, then it's easy to forget about the kids."
All three deaths involving children aged between five and 15 since 2013 involved a child operating a quadbike.
"Kids love playing around vehicles like the quad bike or the tractor so walk around the vehicle first and check children are a safe distance away before starting the engine. A few seconds extra care will prevent what could be a tragedy."
Only those trained and experienced should operate a quad bike, says Al.
"Quad bike riders under 16 years are 2.5 times more likely to be injured compared to drivers aged 16–34 years old. Although those aged under 16 years old represent just 16 per cent of users, they account for between 37 per cent-50 per cent of all injuries."
There are plenty of useful tips and guidance on keeping children safe on farms in WorkSafe's guide Managing Health and Safety – a guide for farmers which includes a section on children on farms. The guide and other farm health and safety resources are available at www.saferfarms.org.nz

In a video released Tuesday, a number of "celebrities" and activists demand that Congress oppose, block and obstruct President-elect Donald Trump when he steps into office.
Those in the video are ordering Congress to oppose Trump's "racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, anti-worker, anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic and anti-environmental policies," and "block nominees who threaten the rights of women, the LGBT community, people of color, immigrants and the poor."
Celebrities in the video even claim that since Donald Trump won, hate crimes are on the rise, and women and people of color have been "attacked in his name."
The video (by Humanity for Progress) is accompanied by a Petition addressed to The U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.

Final Fantasy XV was recently delayed by a couple of months to late November 2016, which isn't really such a big deal seeing as the game has been in the works for a decade now.
Fans will have plenty to do when the game does launch, and that includes chatting, fighting and fishing according to this new gameplay video which was released at Gamescom 2016. It's a pretty epic slice of action, weighing in at almost an hour.
Check it out.
With this much gameplay to go on you should have a pretty good idea now if Final Fantasy XV is for you, and its also an indication that the overall length of the game is going to be huge.
Play it from the 29th of November, 2016.

It has been one of the biggest selling points for BlackBerry smartphones for many years. But the dominance of BBM could be threatened by the arrival of Facebook Messenger on the platform.According to Pocket-lint, the new app even offers new features to sweeten the deal, including the option to see who's online and who's on mobile, the ability to see when the other person is typing and easier messaging to those you communicate with most.That's on top of basic messaging to friends and family, logging on conversations for future reference, location mapping, and the ability to message groups and mobile contacts. Yes, even non-Facebook friends can be 'messaged' although this will be via text message.Obviously Facebook Messenger will have to win over a loyal fanbase, especially amongst younger users, who have taken the cheap platform to their hearts. Basically, they're already using it and so are their friends, so why change? But Facebook Messenger is cross-platform and covers the huge number of Facebook users, which is way in excess of BBM use. That could win out in the end.
If you want to try the app, it's in BlackBerry App World now and is free.

2016-17 BioScience Montana Now Taking Applications!
If you or someone you know is interested in participating in the upcoming BioScience Montana season, please contact the program's participant coordinator, Stephanie Davision, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Watch the 2015-16 Final Presentations!
How does BioScience Montana work?
BioScience Montana is comprised of three science experiences over the course of a year, with experiments, hands-on exploration, video conferences, online discussions, and technology development occurring throughout the year. Participants, in teams of four plus an adult 4-H leader, will come to the MSU campus in Bozeman for 5 days during August and one overnight weekend trip in January for on-campus lab-based experiences as well as assignments they will continue to work on when they return to their communities. Assignments will be largely team-based, and will enable participants to explore the ups and downs, and successes and failures that real scientists encounter every day. Participants will also spend time with cool, energetic, and fun Career and Life student mentors and Science Assistants who will help them throughout the entire project and give them a sense of what it's like to be a college student.
BioScience Montana Featured in Confluence Magazine
The 2014-15 issue of Confluence, a publication from the College of Letters & Science at MSU, features a great article on BioScience Montana! And, it's right up front on page four! It also highlights the work of a couple of BioScience alumni and their success at the state science fair. An electronic version of this publication is available to download HERE.
2013-14 BioScience Montana participants Colin and Colter Norick have won Montana's top science fair prize with the research project they developed through BioScience Montana. The brothers presented their work on "The Correlation between Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) Levels and Cognitive Function in Healthy Teens" at the 2014 Montana State Science Fair held at the University of Montana in March. They won numerous awards, including, the Grand Award First Place Team, UM College of Health Professions and Biomedical Sciences first place, and the Mu Alpha Theta Award for the most challenging, original, thorough and creative investigation of a problem.

From: Hebrews 12:18-19, 21-24
Striving for Peace; Purity; Reverent Worship (Continuation)
18-21. The text recalls in detail all the physical signs which accompanied the ma-
nifestation of God on the heights of Sinai (cf. Ex 19:12-16; 20:18), and to these it
adds other things taken from Jewish oral tradition.
All this helps to inspire feelings of religious reverence and fear, which explains
why the people begged God not to speak further, for they were afraid they would
die. To assert his transcendence God forbade anyone to put foot on the moun-
tain (Ex 19:12, 21); this was a way of showing this as yet uncivilized people the
difference between the true God and idols.
There is no mention in the Pentateuch of Moses being frightened of the vision he
saw when God manifested himself on Sinai; when his fear is mentioned (Deut 9:
19) it is in the context of the second time he went up the mountain to be given
replacements for the tables he had broken in a fit of rage (Deut 9:15-18; Ex 32:
19-20). His fear was that God would punish with death those who had adored the
golden calf. When telling (cf. Acts 7:32) the story of God's first revelation to Mo-
ses in the burning bush, St Stephen says that "Moses trembled and did not dare
to look": thus, the presence of divinity provokes in him the deepest feelings of re-
verence and fear (cf. the attitude of Abraham: Gen 15:12; of Zechariah: Lk 1:12;
of Isaiah: Is 6:4-5; of Jeremiah: Jer 1:6; of Gideon: Judg 6:22-23; etc.).
22-24. The sacred text dramatically contrasts two scenes—that of the establish-
ment of the Covenant on Sinai, and the vision of the heavenly city, the dwelling-
place of the angels and saints. The comparison implies a rhetorical question: if
the setting of the Old Covenant was so solemn and awesome, and if the Cove-
nant itself was so supernatural and divine, what must not be said of the New
We have therefore overwhelming reasons for staying faithful: what awaits us is
not an austere and vengeful God but, rather, the joy and splendor of the heaven-
ly city. For the Hebrew people Mount Sinai was the most important symbol of
their special connection with God, reminding them that the Almighty was also
the Supreme Judge who claimed their exclusive devotion and who abominated
idolatry. Similarly, another mountain, Mount Zion, on which the Temple was built,
repre- sented God's protective presence in the midst of his people. Both moun-
tains, Sinai and Zion, prefigured the mountain from which the Messiah-King
would reign and towards which all peoples would flock to worship the true God
(cf. Ps 2:6; Is 2:2).
The vision which Judaism, on the basis of Scripture, had elaborated of heaven
as the "new Jerusalem" is now extended: not only is it the holy mountain, the
source of the light and glory of Yahweh (cf. Is 8:18; 28:16; 60: 1-11; Ps 50:2;
74:2; Joel 3: 17), the city of peace (cf. Is 33:20); it is the city where the angels
and saints dwell and rejoice, the demesne of the living God and of Jesus—the
heavenly and everlasting Jerusalem, which is also illustrated in the Book of
Revelation (cf. Rev 21:15-17; 22:1-5).
The text once more recalls the Exodus (cf. Heb 3:16-18; 4:1-2; 9:18-20; 10:19-
22). Christians are making their way to heaven, their lasting homeland, their true
place of rest, just as the ancient Israelites made their way out of Egypt and
crossed the desert to reach the land promised to their forefathers.
However, despite this parallel there are differences: the Old Covenant, although
it did include expressions and promises of joy and jubilation, was set in an at-
mosphere of religious fear and trembling; whereas the New Covenant is full of joy
and exultation, although in the midst of suffering.
"It is a question [...] of the glorious and supernatural joy, prophesied for the new
Jerusalem redeemed from the exile and loved with a mystical love by God him-
self [...]. Through the course of many centuries and in the midst of most terrible
trials, these promises wonderfully sustained the mystical hope of ancient Israel.
And it is ancient Israel that transmitted them to the Church of Jesus Christ, in
such a way that we are indebted to ancient Israel for some of the purest expres-
sions of our hymn of joy. And yet, according to faith and the Christian expe-
rience of the Holy Spirit, this peace which is given by God and which spreads
out like an overflowing torrent when the time of 'consolation' comes, is linked to
the coming and presence of Christ" (Paul VI, "Gaudete In Domino", 2-3).
22. The mention of Zion recalls the other mountain on which the Covenant was
made (Sinai), as also the many prophetical texts which proclaimed that the Mes-
siah's reign would begin on Zion, his holy mountain (cf. Ps 2:6; Is 2:2-4:25:6;
Zech 14:4). Thus, Mount Zion, the city of the living God, and the heavenly Jeru-
salem all mean the Church in triumph in heaven.
St Thomas emphasizes that part of eternal happiness in heaven consists in the
vision of the heavenly assembly: "for in the glory of heaven there are two things
which most cause the blessed to rejoice enjoyment of the Godhead and the
fellowship of the saints" ("Commentary on Heb., ad loc.").
"Proceeding from the love of the eternal Father (cf. Titus 3:4), the Church was
founded by Christ in time and gathered into one by the Holy Spirit (cf. Eph 1:3,
5, 6, 13-14, 23). It has a saving and eschatological purpose which can be fully
attained only in the next life. But it is now present here on earth and is composed
of men; they, the members of the earthly city, are called to form the family of the
children of God in this present history of mankind and to increase it continually
until the Lord comes" (Vatican II, "Gaudium Et Spes", 40).
23. "The assembly of the first-born who are enrolled in heaven": the blessed, in-
cluding the righteous of the Old Testament, the Apostles and all Christians who
have attained the beatific vision. They are called first-born because, as in the
case of the Patriarchs, they were the first to have faith; because, as in the case
of the Apostles, it was they who received Christ's call initially, to pass it on to
others; and, finally, because, as in the case of faithful Christians, they were cho-
sen by God from among the pagans (cf. Rom 8:29; Phil 3:20; Col 1:18; Rev 1:5;
14:4). Their names are written in heaven (cf. Lk 10:20; Rev 2:17; 3:5; 13:8; 17:8).
24. As Incarnate Word and High Priest, Jesus is the mediator of the New Cove-
nant (cf. Heb 8:6; 9:15; 1 Tim 2:5; cf. Heb 2:17; 13:1; 7:25). The letter focuses
for a moment on the most significant point in the alliance—the shedding of our
Lord's blood, which ratifies the Covenant and cleanses mankind (cf. Ex 24:8; Heb
9:12-14, 20; 10:19, 28-29; 13:20; 1 Pet 1:2). This blood "speaks more graciously
than the blood of Abel", "for the shedding of Christ's blood was represented figura-
tively by the shedding of the blood of all the just there have been since the begin-
ning of the world [...]. Therefore, the spilling of Abel's blood was a sign of this new
spilling of blood. But the blood of Christ is more eloquent than that of Abel, be-
cause Abel's called for vengeance whereas the blood of Christ claims forgiveness"
(St Thomas Aquinas, "Commentary On Heb., ad loc."). The confidence the blood
of Christ gives us makes us feel happy to be sinners who, repentant, take refuge
in his wounds.
"Sinners, says the Epistle, you are fortunate indeed, for after you sin you have
recourse to the crucified Jesus, who shed all his blood so that he might stand as
mediator to make peace between God and sinners, and win you forgiveness from
him. If your evildoing shouts against you, the Redeemer's blood cries aloud in
your favor, and divine justice cannot but listen to what this blood says" (St Al-
phonsus, "The Love of Jesus Christ Reduced to Practice", 3).

From: Mark 6:7-13
The Mission of the Twelve
7. Cf. note on Mk 1:27; 3:14-19.
[The note on Mk 1:27 states:
27. The same authority that Jesus showed in His teaching (1:22) is now to be
seen in His actions. His will is His command: He has no need of long prayers
or incantations. Jesus' words and actions already have a divine power which
provokes wonder and fear in those who hear and see Him.
Jesus continues to impress people in this way (Mark 2:12; 5:20-42; 7:37; 15:39;
Luke 19:48; John 7:46). Jesus of Nazareth is the long-awaited Savior. He knows
this Himself and He lets it be known by His actions and by His words; according
to the gospel accounts (Mark 1:38-39; 2:10-11; 4:39) there is complete continui-
ty and consistency between what He says and He does. As Vatican II teaches
("Dei Verbum", 2) Revelation is realized by deeds and words intimately connec-
ted with each other: the words proclaim the deeds and clarify the mystery con-
tained in them; the deeds confirm the teaching. In this way Jesus progressively
reveals the mystery of His Person: first the people sense His exceptional autho-
rity; later on, the Apostles, enlightened by God's grace, recognize the deepest
source of this authority: "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God" (Matthew
[The note on Mk 3:14-19 states:
14-19. The Twelve chosen by Jesus (cf. 3:14) receive a specific vocation to be
"people sent out", which is what the word "apostles" means. Jesus chooses
them for a mission which He will give them later (6:6-13) and to enable them to
perform this mission He gives them part of His power. The fact that He chooses
"twelve" is very significant. This is the same number as the twelve Patriarchs of
Israel, and the Apostles represent the new people of God, the Church founded
by Christ. Jesus sought in this way to emphasize the continuity that exists be-
tween the Old and New Testaments. The Twelve are the pillars on which Christ
builds His Church (cf. Gal 2:9); their mission to make disciples of the Lord (to
teach) all nations, sanctifying and governing the believers (Mt 28:16-20; Mk 16:
15; Lk 24:45-48; Jn 20:21-23).]
8-9. Jesus requires them to be free of any form of attachment if they are to
preach the Gospel. A disciple, who has the mission of bringing the Kingdom of
God to souls through preaching, should not rely on human resources but on
God's Providence. Whatever he does not in order to live with dignity as a herald
of the Gospel, he must obtain from those who benefit from his preaching, for the
laborer deserves his maintenance (cf. Mt 10:10).
"The preacher should so trust in God that he is convinced that he will have every-
thing he needs to support life, even if he cannot himself obtain it; for he should
not neglect eternal things worrying about temporal things" (St Bede, "In Marci
Evangelium Expositio, in loc."). "By these instructions the Lord did not mean
that the evangelists should not seek to live in any other way than by depending
on what was offered to them by those to whom they preached the Gospel; other-
wise this very Apostle (St Paul) would have acted contrary to this precept when
he earned his living by the labors of his own hands" (St Augustine, "De Consen-
su Evangelistarum", II, 30).
13. St Mark is the only evangelist who speaks of anointing the sick with oil. Oil
was often used for treating wounds (cf. Is 1:6; Lk 10:34), and the Apostles also
use it for the miraculous cure of physical illnesses by virtue of the power given
them by Jesus. Hence the use of oil as the matter of the sacrament of the Anoin-
ting of the Sick, which cures wounds of the soul and even, if appropriate, bodily
diseases. As the Council of Trent teaches—"Doctrina De Sacramento Extremae
Unctionis", chap. 1—in this verse of St Mark there can be seen a "hint" of the sa-
crament of the Anointing of the Sick, which our Lord will institute and which later
on "is recommended and promulgated to the faithful by St James the Apostle"
(cf. Jas 5:14ff).

This I think would be very cool and very valuable. At minimum, I foresee a context menu action on a J2EE project that simply pops up a "Export CAR Wizard". However, we'll need some flexibility in the server to allow this. The biggest issue is that we're not dealing with a J2EE Structure, and copying resources into the .metadata as an exploded ear is not always good. In a test-environment, (in an ideal world), there should be at most one copy of a resource, the resource that the user is modifying and interacting with. So just like the config-store resolve method we'll need some type of hook to be able to resolve the containing ear project and its module projects. While on the subject, there is a huge restriction as far as deploying the the "eclipse-aware" config-store. It only works with stand-alone modules. I'll like to see some support in the runtime for modules to be delegated to be resolved in the EARConfigBuilder. So please give some thought on how this could be done. > > There were several things that they asked about: > > One item was sensitivity to releases.
