After the final space shuttle mission in July of 2011, I had the opportunity to shoot gigapixel panoramas for National Geographic of all three orbiters during their decommissioning at the Kennedy Space Center. This two-year project also allowed me to follow each orbiter to their new homes in Los Angeles, Washington DC, and at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
Inside of the Space Shuttle:
(click on the picture below for a tour of 9 panoramas)
Use the red directional links to navigate between all interior areas of a space shuttle orbiter's Crew Module and out into the Payload Bay. Green links provide additional information throughout. The tour is best experienced full-screen with the button on the menu.
Panoramas captured on multiple occasions from December 2011 until November 2012 at the Kennedy Space Center and in March of 2014 at the California Science Center.
As featured on National Geographic's website and here on their NewsWatch blog.
Shuttle Carrier Aircraft 747:
Explore two interior areas of the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA-905), a vintage 1970 747-100 used to transport space shuttle orbiters between NASA facilities.
Find more information about the SCA here in my post on National Geographic's StarStruck blog.
Discovery at the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum:
Discovery was the first of the three orbiters to be transitioned to its new museum home. Arriving in April of 2012 at the Smithsonian's Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia, Discovery is now surrounded with relics of human achievement as she becomes a relic herself, inspiring over a million annual visitors with the achievements of the 30+ year Shuttle Program.
Learn more about Discovery's arrival at the Smithsonian here in my post on National Geographic's NewsWatch blog.
Atlantis in the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex:
These panoramas of Space Shuttle Atlantis capture three key moments in the construction of her new display: while wrapped in protective plastic during the dirtiest period of construction, after that plastic had been removed but before both Payload Bay doors were opened, and in the completed exhibit just days before opening to the public. Each pair of panoramas, one from above and one below, were taken from nearly the same location in January, May and June of 2013.
Learn more about Atlantis' move to the Visitor Center here in my post on National Geographic's StarStruck blog.
Astronaut Crew Quarters:
Located on the top floor of the Operations and Checkout building at Kennedy Space Center, these Astronaut Crew Quarters were first used for Gus Grissom and John Young before the launch of Gemini 3 in 1965. The facility contains bedrooms for the astronauts and their support crew, a kitchen to feed them all, conference rooms, a medical clinic, gym and office space, all used in the days leading up to a launch. The most recognizable areas are the Suit-Up Room where astronauts were dressed for launch and the Dining Room where they did pre-flight press conferences.
Follow internal links and/or use the provided map to explore these 11 connected panoramas, most showing facilities rarely seen before and totally off-limits to visitors during the active Shuttle Program.
Crawler Transporter:
The Crawler Transporters carried the 8.2 million pound Mobile Launch Platform and the 2.7 million pound Space Shuttle stack at a speed of 1 mph on the 3.5 mile journey to the launch pads. Two Crawlers were delivered to Kennedy Space Center in 1965 and have driven a total of 3,400 miles in the years since as part of both the Apollo and Shuttle programs. They remain the world's largest self-powered vehicles. Current upgrades will allow this Crawler, CT-2, to carry NASA's new SLS rocket to Launch Pad 39B.
Explore 4 panoramas in this tour: external views from in front and underneath and internal views of the engine room and the driver's cab, all taken while parked in the VAB during upgrades.

Launch Pad 39A:
Built in 1965, Launch Pad 39A has hosted 92 launches to space from the Apollo and Shuttle Programs. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins departed from there for the Moon on Apollo 11. STS-1, the first ever space shuttle flight, launched from 39A, as did the next 23 missions before 39B came online just to the north. At the end of the program, the last 18 shuttle missions launched from there while 39B transitioned for use with the Ares I rocket and its Constellation Program.
During the Apollo era, 39A and B were "clean pads" meaning that there was very little in the way of permanent structures built above the pad's surface. All necessary service structures arrived with the Saturn rockets built into the Mobile Launch Platform. This shuttle specific pad has a Fixed Service Structure (FSS) and a Rotating Service Structure (RSS) remaining on site that provided all services and protected the shuttle stack before launch.
The above tour includes panoramas from 39A's surface, it's highest level (295′), the level where the Astronauts boarded the orbiter and used their last telephone and gravity assisted toilet (195′), the bottom of the SRB Flame Trench and the inside of the "Rubber Room", a blast room still remaining deep in the pad and accessed from a tunneled slide during the Apollo program in case of a Saturn V's catastrophic failure.
Launch Control Center (LCC) Firing Room 4:
Explore these three views of Firing Room 4 in the Kennedy Space Center Launch Control Center (LCC). All launch operations for the Space Shuttle Program were coordinated from this room until the boosters cleared the tower during launch, at which time control shifted to Mission Control at Johnson Space Center for the remainder of the mission.
Shuttle Training Aircraft (STA):
NASA modified four Gulfstream II aircraft to mimic the landing profile of a Space Shuttle orbiter and provide a simulating platform for astronauts. Inside, the bipolar cockpit of the STA is half orbiter, half airplane, complete with the same glass cockpit screens and control surfaces that a Shuttle Commander would later use to glide their spacecraft to a smooth landing. Outside, the Gulfstream's main landing gear were left down and the engines powered in reverse, making the airplane fall out of the sky at the intended 20-degree angle with similar handling characteristics to an orbiter. Shuttle Commanders and Pilots flew 1000 practice landings each in these airplanes before their missions.
STA N944NA is currently located at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

So here I am...creating a new blog.
Why would I do that when I've already created other blogs, you ask?
I will tell you, dear reader.
I currently started writing in my livejournal again, but that is full of private information I'd rather not share with a ton of people. I haven't used my Xanga in years, and I'm not even sure I know what my password is. I have a Tumblr that I update extensively, but I mostly use it for reblogging pictures I find entertaining or alluring. All that being said, I think I need a proper blog. A blog that can be somewhat professional and public for anyone who wants to find out information about me. I don't want to sound pretentious when I say this (I realize that is difficult to achieve through text, as text can't really have a tone), but I've recently realized that more people pay attention to what I do on the internet than I originally thought. My Facebook is now pretty private, but I am involved in a lot of social media sites that continue to expose my content to more and more people. I'm also exploring different ways to earn money online and "get my name out there," so to speak.
Basically, I'm going to use this to interact with people who want to interact with me for whatever reason. I'm also planning to use this blog to document my big-ish life adventures when EVER they may happen, as nothing very big-ish or interesting has happened of late. Just a lot of internal conflictions about what to do with my life.

Thursday: Movie-Hancock..dah cerita dah...
Friday: Malam Majlis Anak-Anak Perlis @ Istana Hotel
First of all..hubby and i was stuck in traffic for 2HOURS!! trying to get to Istana Hotel from Subang..friday evening traffic is pure torture!
The Dinner..adoi...must say it was a disappointment...Personally I just don't think it's right for you to serve Muhibbah Set at any hotel dinners! It should be chinese food people!!Kesimpulan saya untuk malam itu..
Food: *keciwa*
Decorations: Semak maksimum...they said the hall was decorated by Pak Abu..If i was him, I wouldn't have wanted my name to be mentioned/associated by the quality of the decorations that night...My form 5 dinner dekat teacher's parking lot looked so much more festive!
Show: *double keciwa* sound system out, singers out..but I left half-way through David Arumugam's show and totally missed Siti Nurhaliza's show (yeah..she came with Datuk K as guests but sang pasal Raja Perlis requested). But don't care la...was never infatuated by her anyway.
TAPI...ada tapi ok..one thing i must applaud..orang-orang perlis mmg SPORTING!! If any of you guys remembered Dee from Jangan Ketawa..he was the MC for the night and pulled up 3 people from the audience and sent them backstage. So these 3 men went and changed into their costumes..The theme was Songs from the 50's, 60's and 70's.
First man - 50's..they changed him into baju melayu complete with samping and songkok yang tinggi tak sangga tu..and started the music. He came in and started to dance 50's style. We thought, not bad...his joget moves earned him some points from the audiences..
2nd man - 60's get up..imagine Jimi Asmara..wig, suits and his gelek...kelakar la..so we all clapped slightly louder than the 50's guy
3rd man - this guy deserves to win!hahah!70's..I present to you Datuk M. Daud Kilau!!!!!!!!the wig..the sequined shirt..the shades and the bontot!!!!!!hahahah!!! And he was not even from Perlis..the wife is but the fact that he actually went on stage and did the whole M. Daud Kilau stint...hahaha!!!gelak tak habis...sgt kelakar!
That was the highlight of the night for me la. It was not worth me staying longer and compromise my sleep schedule. I had to work the next morning.
Saturday: International Muay Thai Superfight
Tak pegi!!hahahahah!!We did end up staying at home on saturday..I did some laundry, lipat kain sambil tgk TV!! hahahah!!!
Cerita nya...hubby didnt get the tix earlier on..sbb dia kata the sambutan was not that good so confirm boleh beli je tiket on the day itself...come saturday..I contemplated on going...I didnt feel that it was worth it for me to pay rm100 just to see guys beat each other up...simpan tgk High School Musical on ice pun bagus!hehe! so I told him pergi la dgn member..
Last last..member pun tak jadi nak pegi...hehehe! *secretly happy tak jadi pegi...hehehe!!*
Sunday: KL Buskers 2008 @ Petaling Street
All I can say...KEPALE HOTAK TOURISM MALAYSIA!!!!
So my day went like this
5.45am: dah keluar rumah to send hubby off to Ipoh for the Fashion show (for the mentally retarded!!hehehe!! Serious!)
7am: i reached my cuzzie's place and teros sambung tido sampai kol 11
12.30pm: mandi secara express setelah di saun cuzzie then off to lunch. Niat nak makan nasi kerabu tapi hampa...dah abis...so melantak nasi campur je la
1.30pm: went to pick up cuzzie's tunang and headed for LRT Jelatek. Orang gila je drive pegi Petaling Street.
1.45pm: all excited and looking like tourists with our cameras and shades and backpacks..all set for the hot day while waiting for the lrt.
2.15pm: At petaling street..wondering where are the banners and the sound of the buskers..
2.45pm: Still figuring out where the buskers are...suggested checking out central market. Maybe there'd be an information counter for tourists or something.
3.15pm: Hot and frustrated!!!the lady at the Tourism Information counter had NO IDEA what we were talking about and wanted to charge us RM2 for 5minutes usage of the internet. She said that there was a cyber cafe inside Central Market...haram jadah gua tak jumpe!!Finally managed to get one of my other cousin to check out the KL Festival Website..and all it said was Jalan Petaling...hence my "Kepala Hotak Tourism Malaysia!!"
Setelah keciwa...we decided to take the commuter to MidValley. Cuzzie wanted to check out the bridal fair there.
Fact 1: Aja and Fadzli TAK PERNAH NAIK KOMUTER! (I just find that amusing!hehehe!)
Fact 2: Orang gila je naik komuter pegi midvalley hari Ahad!!
Ya Allah!!bau dalam komuter itu terlampau wangi!!!!and Malaysians being Malaysians....adab menaiki public transport sangatlah kurang! Nasib baik tak kene raba..
All in all..the weekend didn't turn out to be what I expected it to be. But I still had fun spending the day with my cousins at MidValley (at least I have half of my baju raya settled..:) )
The weekend after that actually made up for the disappointments I had. But that's another story...

The provincial museum of Kom Oushim, historically Karanis, in Fayoum, has been reopened to the public after a 10-year long renovation. Antiquities Minister Khaled al-Anani opened the museum on 3 November; attending the opening was Fayoum Governor Gamal Samy and a number of officials and ambassadors to Egypt.
Dr Anani said that it was his Ministry's plan to reopen closed museums, hoping to promote an awareness of Egypt's history among locals and to encourage tourism.
The museum houses a collection of 320 pieces of antiquity that span the history of Fayoum since ancient times. According to Elham Salah, head of the museums sector at the Antiquities Ministry, some of these objects were among the museum's original collection, whereas others were stored at the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, Cairo, and are on display for the first time.
The EGP650,000 restoration included the installation of new security and lighting systems, replacing the old display cases with new ones, building an external iron fence 3 metres higher than the original and erecting new control towers, and repainting the façade.
Kom Oushim, known also as Kom Aushim or Kom Oshim, is located to the north of Qaroun Lake, 70km south west Cairo and 33km north of Fayoum Oasis. It was built by the Greek Ptolemies in the 3rd century BC, during which time it was an agriculture town and was the largest Greco-Roman town in Fayoum.
Karanis is the ancient name for Kom Oshim. It went through many changes and thrived for about seven centuries. In 1925, archeologists decided the site needed to be excavated. This was first done under supervision of the University of Michigan. Much later Cairo University took over the excavation work which was more recently assigned to the French Institute of Oriental Archaeology in Cairo.
The museum is very close to Fayoum city. It contains a huge collection of glassware, pottery, jewellery and ornaments. It also includes two of the famous Fayoum portraits which were Greco-Roman era portraits of deceased persons, painted on wood or cartonnage, and placed on the covers of their sarcophagi. Since ancient Egyptians believed in life after death, the faces in the portraits were always serious, with large eyes, arrayed in the finest clothes and jewellery. The best collection of Fayoum portraits came from Karanis, Philadelphia, and Hawara.

By John Fitts

Court of Appeals of Arkansas, Division I
January 28, 2015
A.D., APPELLANTv.STATE OF ARKANSAS, APPELLEE
Flinn Law Firm, P.A., by: Jennifer Williams Flinn, for appellant.
Dustin McDaniel, Att'y Gen., by: Brad Newman, Ass't Att'y Gen., for appellee.
BRANDON J. HARRISON, Judge. ABRAMSON and GLOVER, JJ., agree.
Page 697
BRANDON J. HARRISON, Judge.
Fifteen-year-old A.D. appeals the Benton County Circuit Court's order that found him guilty as an accomplice to theft of property and adjudicated him delinquent. On appeal, he argues that the evidence was insufficient to support the court's ruling. We affirm.
In an amended delinquency petition filed 22 January 2014, A.D. was charged as an accomplice to theft of property, a Class A misdemeanor. The State alleged that A.D. aided two other juveniles in shoplifting from Gordman's. The court held a hearing in Feburary 2014, and Jill Timbes, a Gordman's employee, testified that she was in charge of " audit safety" and monitored security cameras, associates, and people entering the building. She explained that on September 7, 2013, she observed A.D. and another juvenile, C.B., enter the store, and that A.D. " looked up for a camera" when they entered the store. She agreed that it was protocol for her to observe anyone that either looked up at the cameras or proceeded to the fragrance and jewelry areas, which are the store's highest theft areas. She observed the two young men wander around the store and stated that A.D. seemed nervous, describing him as " rocking back and forth, kind of wringing his hands, and just looking down the aisles. He was looking out more than he was looking at merchandise." The two young men then met up with a female, A.M., who was carrying " a lot" of store merchandise and a large black purse. Around this time, Timbes was also notified that store employees had found several empty hangers in the shoe department.
Timbes observed the three juveniles walking through the store and eventually stopping in the shoe department, where C.B. and A.M. proceeded to squat down to the floor for several minutes with A.D. standing " right over them." Timbes described A.D. as looking " back and forth" and " nervous." The prosecutor then played a DVD of the store surveillance footage from that day, which was a stipulated exhibit. Timbes explained that she confronted A.M. and C.B. as they left the store and took them to her office, then went back to confront A.D., who was walking out of the store. Timbes found several items in A.M.'s purse, including a leather jacket, shirts, socks, and a speaker. C.B. also had a speaker down his pants. A.D. did not have any merchandise in his possession.
Officer Christopher Douglas with the Rogers Police Department testified that he responded to a shoplifting report on September 7 and that he observed the three juveniles in Timbes's office. Douglas stated that the juveniles were cooperative and that A.D. " admitted to shoplifting, as well as the others. I can't give you specifics of what it was. But it made me believe he was just as culpable as the other two that were there." He explained that the juveniles were arrested but released to their parents' custody.
At the close of the State's case, A.D. moved to dismiss,[1] arguing that he was

" just there" and that " mere presence is not an accomplice to the theft." The court denied the motion and ...

One of the benefits of this economics crisis is that it may help decrease the size and scope of government, at least in some areas. Politicians almost never voluntarily give up control over anything, but with deficits getting deep, 44 states are taking a look at selling off state assets to help raise some desperately needed cash. Some of those assets are state roads.
Most politicians are against the idea of privatizing roads, despite the fact that privately run roads are generally better maintained and more efficiently run; but in some cases, the price is just too good to pass up. Massachusetts lawmakers are facing a $1.4 billion deficit, and are considering selling the Massachusetts Turnpike to help deal with that. And New York Gov. David Paterson appointed a commission to look into leasing some state assets, including the Tappan Zee Bridge and some toll roads. That commission will report it's recommendations next month, but they'll probably be in favor of selling, since privatization is usually helpful to everyone involved. Check out some reasons why:
Right now, the pricetag for infrastructure projects like bridges and roads is high, since private investors and public pension funds are looking for "safe places" to put their money. Toll roads and bridges are seen as recession-proof, and can offer a steady source of income. As for the state and the taxpayers, selling or leasing public assets can produce that big influx of cash right away, and takes a huge burden off the states since they no longer have to deal with the maintenance of those roads or bridges. Also, privatization takes the economic decisions about out of the hands of politicians and puts them into the hands of the free market which is much more efficient and better reflects the desires of consumers.
Some states actually made privatization deals before the economic crisis. For example, in 2006, Indiana made $3.8 billion by leasing the Indiana Toll Road for 75 years; and Chicago raised an additional $3.5 billion since 2005 through deals for the Chicago Skyway toll road, parking ramps, and parking meters. Unfortunately, here in my home state of Pennsylvania, politicians botched one of the potentially largest deals of it's kind in the country: Investors were willing to pay $12.8 billion to lease the Pennsylvania Turnpike for 75 years, but lawmakers didn't act on it, and the investors walked away.

Dear Lionel,
I'm glad you decided to speak to a professional about your feelings and struggles. After all, the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. Your tics influence every part of your life but they shouldn't limit your ability to be happy. Your Tourette's syndrome is accompanied by many obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms. That seems to generate a lot of anxiety for you. I also noticed you have trouble forming strong relationships with other people and that you often find yourself in awkward or uncomfortable social situations. Social or generalized anxiety disorder could be at play here. It would explain your reticence at being more open with strangers and your awkwardness and sometimes cold behavior. The good news is I believe if you start coming to therapy every week you will be able to alleviate many of these symptoms and increase you confidence a tenfold.
Best regards,
from your very qualified therapist Neta Fudim
Eat me! six burgers
Hoping for a lucky day
Watching the zendo
Task 3:
- The world and setting of the story.
I would want to write about this because I think it's one the best parts of the book. Brooklyn and all the different parts of the city that they visit play a big part in the action scenes and in Lionel's character development. I could write about how certain places connect to Lionel's tics, how others affect the action and suspense scenes in thee book and the style or mood that the setting creates.
- Lionel Essrog: what's the most interesting or compelling aspect of his character? Who would you choose to play him, and why?
This aspect would be easy to write about. I could describe his tics, his social awkwardness and his dependence on other characters to survive. In each of those aspects I would describe why that makes him interesting and why I think a certain actor should play him.

She was going to come over here, but I instead told her I would be to her house in about 3 minutes. Her kids...all 7 of them...are grown up and no longer in school. I was going to say, no longer living at home, but we all know that's just fictional thoughts as most kids return home for some period of time after college. Alas, she has her 23 year daughter living back at home. So I
In the midst of my rambling about my mouthy kids, she decided one afternoon aint gonna cut it to help me out. So she called last night and invited the whole family over for dinner tonight. Seems we'll be having something none of us Oregonians have had before, Borscht soup. It sounds great; hearty, earthy food complete with homemade buttermilk bisquits. I'm bringing an apple cake for dessert, but the real reason I am going is to enjoy the company of a mom who successfully raised 7 children to productive adulthood. She gets the chaos, dirt, dishevelment of having 3 boys and a 13 year old daughter.
I'm looking forward to having Borscht soup tonight. Better yet, I'm looking forward to the company and experiencing the wisdom that a mom of 7 kids can pass on to me. Lord knows I need the wisdom!

It was an amazing experience! We enjoyed and the day was so clear and beautiful! Had to do it again!
Great trail - easy to find and well-maintained the entire length, which isn't always the case in the Chugach. Lots of elevation gain, but it's a pretty steady climb, no real steep parts and nothing sketchy. View from the summit is incredible. We did the 4.8 mile ascent in 2:10 from Prospect Heights Trailhead. Ran pretty much the entire descent and made it in under an hour, but that's two teenagers who are basically mountain goats and a mid-40s lady who has done quite a bit of mountain climbing lately and regularly runs marathons...
Wouldn't call it difficult more like strenuous
Good hard hike and a great length. Bummed that the top was socked in. Will have to do it again!
very skinny but amazing snowboarding when theres fresh powder. kinda sketchy if its icy
Very nice views of Anchorage from these trails
Good trailhead, with several good options for short hikes and runs among the various loops there.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has addressed the media ahead of their Premier League clash with West Ham United.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes his side are making improvements at the back following back-to-back clean sheets in all competitions.
His side have struggled at the start of this season, but a win against Aston Villa in the Premier League last weekend meant they climbed to 12th in the table, and that was followed by a creditable draw in the Champions League in midweek.
Speaking to reporters, as reported by the Daily Mirror, ahead of this weekend's game against West Ham United, the Blues boss said: "They were both based on good teamwork.
"I try the best decisions for the team and analyse opponents and what the team can be and try to reduce that unpredictability of every match but you are right that this is not about defenders.
"It is about the team as a team and they defended well in both matches."
Recently, selection of some of his more well-known players has been in the spotlight, and Mourinho was asked about whether Eden Hazard would play on Saturday, after being omitted from the starting XI against Aston Villa, and said he didn't know if he would play in Saturday's fixture at the Boleyn Ground.
The Chelsea boss added: "He played the last match for 90 minutes and was part of the compact team that kept that clean sheet.
"You have lots of people giving opinions and speaking about him. I'm happy with his contribution against Dinamo and that's it."
If Hazard is left out of the line-up again, then it will inevitably give newspapers a story to write about and something to ask questions about in the future.
Three players that certainly won't be lining up against West Ham are Thibaut Courtois, with the goalkeeper continuing his recovery from a knee injury, Spanish forward Pedro and long-serving defender Branislav Ivanovic.

One Christian Martyred Every 5 Minutes
According to Relevant, Christian Freedom International in a recently released video, a Christian is martyred every five minutes for their faith somewhere in the world. The video was released in preparation for the International Day of Prayer on November 8. Relevant reports that more Christians have been martyred for their faith in the 20th and 21st centuries than in the previous 19 centuries combined. More than 200 million Christians face persecution worldwide in 105 countries out of 190 around the world. Open Doors has released a global map, detailing the countries in which Christians face the most persecution. Number one on the list is North Korea, followed by Somalia and Iraq. Nearly all of the 50 countries listed are either in the Middle East or in Africa.
- When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed. (Revelation 6:9-11)
Christians Fight against Teaching of Islam in Public Schools
A report from the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) says that US students in public schools are being forced to learn how to convert to Islam. "It's Islamic indoctrination right here in our schools," ACLJ said. According to Christian Today, Brandee Porterfield, a parent, said her seventh grade daughter is learning about Islam as part of her world history class in Maury County, Tenn. "They did this assignment where they wrote out the Five Pillars of Islam, including having the children learn and write the Shahada, which is the Islamic conversion creed," she said. Porterfield said she asked school officials if there would be lessons on Judaism and Christianity, but the lessons only included Hinduism and Buddhism. Tennessee isn't the only state teaching Islam culture. In Wisconsin, students were given an assignment to "pretend you are Muslim." In Florida, students were asked to recite the Five Pillars of Islam.
- Our youth indoctrination centers, (aka public schools) have banned Christianity on the basis of the separation of church and state but welcome the teaching of other religions. Can these progressive liberals not see the obvious hypocrisy? Sure they can, because their (and Satan's) goal is to eliminate Christianity by any means necessary
Defiant Kim Davis Still Won't Sign Marriage Licenses, but Won't Stop Others
In returning to work Monday, Kim Davis, the embattled Kentucky county clerk at the center of the dispute over gay marriage, said she will continue to defy the Supreme Court order and will not authorize marriage licenses. Davis, the Rowan County clerk, said she will take no action against deputy clerks who issue licenses, but says the forms will not be under her name or authority. At least one deputy clerk in Rowan County, Brian Mason, has been issuing licenses since U.S. District Judge David Bunning jailed Davis on Sept. 3 for contempt of court. Bunning released Davis from jail Tuesday, six days later, on the condition that she does not interfere with her deputies issuing the licenses. Her attorneys, however, say the licenses issued in her absence — around 10, mostly for same-sex couples — are not valid without Davis' authorization.
1.5 Million Muslim Immigrants have Relocated to U.S. Since 9/11
The rate of Muslim immigration has been increasing since September 11, 2001 reports Breitbart.com. Between 2001 and 2013, the United States permanently resettled 1.5 million Muslim immigrants throughout the United States. Unlike illegal immigrants, legal immigrants granted lifetime resettlement privileges will be given automatic work permits, welfare access, and the ability to become voting citizens. In 2013 alone, 117,423 migrants from Muslim-majority countries were permanently resettled within the United States— having been given lawful permanent resident status. Additionally in 2013, the United States voluntarily admitted an extra 122,921 temporary migrants from Muslim countries as foreign students and foreign workers as well as 39,932 refugees from Muslim countries. Experts believe these numbers will only continue to increase with hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees currently seeking asylum.
- Granted that most Muslims are good, peace-loving people, but they also have the highest proportion of militants than any other people group (are there any Christian militants?). The Boston bombers were migrants.
Migrants Seek Different Routes after Hungary Closes Border
Hungarian riot police officers fired water cannons and tear gas on Wednesday after hundreds of migrants tried to break through a gate at the newly reinforced border between Serbia and Hungary. Military helicopters hovered overhead. Hungary announced that police officers had detained 519 people for illegal entry or damaging a border fence since new rules came into force a day earlier. Hungary's decision to seal its borders and press criminal charges against migrants continued to reverberate across Europe, sending thousands of people on alternative routes through Croatia and other countries to reach Germany and other points in Western Europe. Croatia's prime minister promised them safe passage, as long as they were only passing through the country. But on Thursday, they too closed their borders as thousands of refugees sought refuge.
Report Cites Antibiotics in Fast Food Meat Supply
A new report is sounding the alarm about the use of antibiotics in the meat and poultry supply chains of the 25 largest U.S. fast food and "fast casual" restaurants. Most top U.S. restaurant chains have no publicly available policy to limit regular use of antibiotics in their meat and poultry supply chains, according to the "Chain Reaction" report by Friends of the Earth, the Natural Resources Defense Council and four other consumer interest, public health and environmental organizations. Chipotle and Panera Bread fared best, with both receiving A's. Those restaurants are the only two that report serving a majority of their meat from animals raised without regular use of antibiotics, the report said. Chick-fil-A received a grade of B, and responded to the rating by noting that it was "the first in the quick service restaurant industry to announce a commitment to 'No Antibiotics Ever' in its chicken supply back in 2014.
'"When livestock producers administer antibiotics routinely to their flocks and herds, bacteria can develop resistance, thrive and even spread to our communities, contributing to the larger problem of antibiotic resistance," the authors wrote in the report, which was released Tuesday. "The worsening epidemic of resistance means that antibiotics may not work when we need them most: when our kids contract a staph infection (MRSA), or our parents get a life-threatening pneumonia." The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization have repeatedly warned about the not-far-off public health threat of antibiotic resistance. The CDC estimates at least 2 million Americans contract antibiotic-resistant infections every year, and that 23,000 die as a result.
Economic News
Stocks tumbled at the open Friday a day after the Federal Reserve opted not to hike interest rates. Citing global economic weakness and financial market turmoil, the Federal Reserve agreed Thursday to keep its benchmark interest rate near zero despite the rapidly improving U.S. labor market. But the Fed policymakers' forecast indicates they still expect to bump up the federal funds rate this year for the first time in nearly a decade, with meetings scheduled for October and December. Their projections, however, show they expect to raise it even more gradually over the long-term than they previously signaled.
Inflation remained modest in August as gasoline prices fell sharply, giving the Federal Reserve another reason to delay a hike in interest rates at a key meeting that began Wednesday. The consumer price index dipped 0.1%, the Labor Department said Wednesday. Excluding volatile food and energy costs, so-called core prices that the Fed monitors closely picked up a tepid 0.1%. Prices are up a meager 0.2% over the past year. Gasoline prices tumbled 4.1%, while used cars and trucks fell 0.4% and airline fares dropped 3.1% after a 5.6% decline in July. Offsetting those were a 0.2% rise in food prices, and 0.3% increase in both rent and apparel costs.
The number of people without health insurance dropped last year by 8.8 million, to a total of 33 million, but there was no statistically significant change in income for the typical American household, the Obama administration said Wednesday. Median household income in the United States was $53,660 last year, virtually unchanged from 2013. In addition, it said, there was no meaningful change in the official poverty rate — 14.8 percent in 2014. About 46.7 million people were in poverty, the bureau said. This was the fourth consecutive year in which the number of people in poverty was not statistically different from the prior year.
Hewlett Packard said Tuesday afternoon that 25,000 to 30,000 people will leave the enterprise division as part of a planned spinoff. The cuts, meant to cut $2.7 billion in annual costs, represent about 10% of the company's total workforce of 302,000 employees. HP has cut jobs for three years in a row including a 5.1% cut in fiscal 2012, 4% cut in fiscal 2013 4.8% in fiscal 2014. Even so, HP is still the third biggest tech employer.
General Motors agreed to pay a $900 million fine and accept two criminal charges to resolve a Justice Department investigation into its handling of a deadly ignition-switch blamed for more than 120 deaths. Federal prosecutors said in a court filing Thursday that GM had agreed to accept a wire-fraud charge and a charge for "engaging in a scheme to conceal a deadly safety defect" from regulators.
Middle East
Tensions were simmering in Jerusalem's Old City and adjacent neighborhoods Wednesday following a third straight day of disturbances on the Temple Mount. "For the third straight day Arabs rioted and attempted to attack police and visitors when visiting hours for non-Muslims began in the morning," said Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld. "Police used non-lethal stun grenades to disperse the rioters, who fled into Al-Aksa Mosque, which police did not enter. Security assessments have been made and extra units have been called in to ensure no more attacks take place in the Old City or on the Temple Mount." Declarations by Israeli officials that they are protecting freedom of worship for all on the Temple Mount have been ignored by Arab governments which have condemned Israel for "storming a Moslem holy site" and Western governments which have expressed "grave concern" and urged "all sides to refrain from an escalation" of the situation.
A bus travelling through the eastern Jerusalem neighborhood of Ras el-Amoud was attacked by stone and gasoline bomb throwing Palestinian youths on Thursday night. The driver of the otherwise empty bus escaped with light injuries but the vehicle was destroyed. Security forces were taking no chances on an escalation of violence in the Capital Friday amidst calls by several Palestinian leaders for a "Day of Rage" to protest Israeli security measures on the Old City's Temple Mount. Around 800 additional police officers have been mobilized and deployed to the capital and Moslem men under 40 are being barred from ascending the Temple Mount.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas issued a statement Wednesday regarding the recent round of rioting on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem's Old City saying, "Al-Aksa is ours and so is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. They have no right to desecrate them with their filthy feet. We won't allow them to do so and we will do whatever we can to defend Jerusalem. There will be no Palestinian state without Jerusalem. We are in Jerusalem and we will stay in it to defend our Islamic and Christian holy sites. We're not going to leave our country. Each drop of blood that was spilled in Jerusalem is pure blood as long as it's for the sake of Allah. Every shahid (martyr) will be in heaven and every wounded person will be rewarded, by Allah's will."
- Interesting how Abbas plays the Christian card when it suits his purposes. Otherwise, Christianity is also in the Islamic crosshairs for ultimate elimination
A brazen Taliban attack on a Pakistani military base on the outskirts of the northwestern city of Peshawar killed 20 people on Friday, including 16 worshippers who were gunned down when the militants stormed a mosque inside the compound during prayers. The attack triggered an hours-long firefight at the base and Pakistani forces said they killed 13 of the attackers. The attack was a major blow for Pakistan's military, which stepped up operations against the militants following a horrific Taliban attack last December at a Peshawar school that killed 150 people, mostly children. It also underscored the ability of the militants to stage spectacular attacks on targets linked to the country's military and government.
The government of Iran released five senior members of Al Qaeda earlier this year, including the man who stepped in to serve as the terrorist group's interim leader immediately after Osama bin Laden's death, and who is the subject of a $5 million bounty, according to an American official who had been briefed on the matter. Iran's release of the five men was part of a prisoner swap in March with Al Qaeda's branch in Yemen, the group holding an Iranian diplomat, Nour Ahmad Nikbakht. Mr. Nikbakht was kidnapped in the Yemeni capital of Sana in July 2013. The American official, who was granted anonymity to discuss the matter, confirmed the release of Saif al-Adl, a senior member of Al Qaeda's ruling body, known as the Shura Council, who oversaw the organization immediately after bin Laden was killed by Navy SEALs in Pakistan in 2011. Analysts tracking Al Qaeda described the release as alarming, given the seniority of the five men. It comes at a time when much of the organization's leadership has been lost in back-to-back airstrikes… The release of the men could re-energize the militant group, providing an influx of vetted leaders at a crucial time, terrorism experts say.
Bombs exploded in two churches in Nepal's easternmost Jhapa district at around 11:30 p.m. on Monday, September 14, only hours after the country's constituent assembly (CA) overwhelmingly rejected proposals to make Nepal a Hindu state. More bombs were planted in two other church buildings but did not explode inside. No one was injured in the explosions at the churches in Damak-10 and Khajurgachi, but the church buildings were damaged. A bomb taken from a church in Surunga exploded at a police station after police removed it from the church building. Three police officers were seriously hurt in the blast. Over two-thirds of the lawmakers voted to reject appeals from the Hindu nationalist Rastriya Prajatantra Party Nepal (or National Democratic Party Nepal) to return the country to its Hindu status.
China appears to building a third airstrip in disputed waters in the South China Sea, according to new satellite images analyzed by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). The images, taken September 8, come after China pledged to bring land reclamation in those waters to a halt, and will make for uncomfortable discussions when Chinese President Xi Jinping visits Washington next week. The South China Sea is the subject of numerous rival — often messy — territorial claims, with China, Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam disputing sovereignty of several island chains and nearby waters.
Nearly half of the world's fish have been lost since 1970. The global marine life population is reaching a dangerously low level according to a new report from The World Wide Fund for Nature and the Zoological Society of London. The study published this week indicates that marine mammals, birds, fish and reptiles declined by 49 percent between 1970 and 2012. The decline included fish that are considered essential to the world food supply such as tuna, mackerel and bonito. Overfishing and climate change are seen as the root of the staggering decline. "Healthy seas are the bedrock of a functioning global economy," said WWF Chief Advisor on Marine Policy Dr. Louise Heaps in a press release. "By overexploiting fisheries, degrading coastal habitats and not addressing global warming, we are sowing the seeds of ecological and economic catastrophe."
A new study shows that air pollution is killing 3.3 million people each year and indicates that industrial farms are a major contributor to the problem. Researchers from Germany, Cyrups, Saudi Arabia and Harvard University joined forces for the report that makes some of the most detailed estimates ever recorded on the toll of air pollution. The group also looked to the future, determining that the yearly death rate could as much as double by 2050 if current trends fail to change. The study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, used health statistics and computer models. About three quarters of the deaths are from strokes and heart attacks. About 6 percent of all global deaths each year occur prematurely due to exposure to ambient air pollution, more than HIV and malaria combined, the report claims. With nearly 1.4 million deaths a year, China has the most air pollution fatalities, followed by India with 645,000 and Pakistan with 110,000.
A powerful magnitude-8.3 earthquake hit off Chile's northern coast Wednesday night, causing buildings to sway in Santiago and other cities and sending people running into the streets. Authorities said at least 12 people have died. Tsunami advisories were in effect for Hawaii and Southern California after the powerful magnitude-8.3 earthquake struck the Pacific Ocean waters just off the coast of Chile, generating a dangerous 15-foot tsunami along parts of the Chilean coast. A million people were evacuated following the quake Wednesday night, which sparked several aftershocks. The tsunami fanned out across much of the Pacific Ocean, though the worst of its power is expected to be focused westward toward Tahiti. Nuku Hiva, a French Polynesian island about 1,000 miles north-northwest of Rikitea, measured a 4.5-foot tsunami wave height. The lead tsunami waves reached as far west as the Chatham Islands east of New Zealand's two main islands Thursday morning U.S. time, where a 1.2 foot wave height was measured at Owenga.
Authorities have deemed it safe for some evacuated residents to return to their neighborhoods Wednesday and survey damage from a trio of northern California wildfires, but what they've found has been nothing short of complete destruction. About 23,000 residents of several small towns were given very little time to flee fast-moving wildfires that eventually claimed their homes. The Valley Fire has burned 67,200 acres and destroyed 720 homes with 9,000 structures threatened as of Wednesday and is 30% contained. Five persons have been killed inside burned homes. The Butte Fire has consumed 71,780 acres and burned 166 homes with 6,400 structures still threatened and is 40% contained. The Rough Fire has burned 139,531 acres and is 49% contained.
This week we've already seen the deadliest flash flood in Utah history, followed by one of the heaviest September rain events on record in Los Angeles and San Diego. Starting this weekend, the combination of upper-level low pressure several hundred miles southwest of Southern California and upper-level high pressure centered over the Rio Grande Valley of Texas will act like an atmospheric egg-beater, piping deep moisture northward toward the Desert Southwest. Some forecast guidance suggests the moisture content of the atmosphere early in the week ahead may approach record levels for the time of year in some parts of the Southwest.
On Tuesday, searchers found the seventh and final victim of a flash flood that tore through a slot canyon in Utah's Zion National Park and wiped out an entire party of climbers. More than six-tenths of an inch fell over the park in less than an hour Monday afternoon, with flows in one of the tributaries to the Virgin River spiking from 50 cubic feet per second to more than 2,500 feet per second in one 15-minute period. At the time, the group was still inside Keyhole Canyon, a deep, narrow slot canyon popular for canyoneering, requiring rope rappels and swims through deep water. The group of climbers had been warned of the danger of flash flooding when they received an entry permit at 7:40 a.m.

New Classical Anglican Alliance for the Western Hemisphere
From the CAPAC Press Release:
Following a conference July 6-8 in Nassau that gathered dozens of leaders from across North and South America and the Caribbean, plans for a new body committed to the historic Anglican faith and formularies have been announced. Inspired by the effective witness of the Council of Anglican Provinces of Africa (CAPA), Archbishops Drexel Gomez and Gregory Venables announced plans for the formation of the Council of Anglican Provinces of the Americas and Caribbean (CAPAC).
Initial steps organizing CAPAC were taken by the two Archbishops and the Moderators of the US and Canadian Networks leading to the creation of a body that will "enable coordination, cooperation, collaboration, and communication, and to encourage mission as well as resource theological education and ministry of the Gospel in the Caribbean and the Americas." It has become necessary because of the confusion and theological chaos that has been introduced in the region by the unilateral actions of the Episcopal Church in the USA (ECUSA) and the Anglican Church of Canada, who have departed from historic Anglican faith and practice. The ensuing conflict has drained huge amounts of energy and resources from the mission of the church around the world. CAPAC is being organized to re-energize mission and ministry in the region.
The Covenant of Understanding signed by the four leaders will be shared with their provinces/organizations for discussion and ratification. Archbishop Drexel Gomez said, "This is important for the future of the faith. As we move ahead, it must be on an agreed theological foundation. We envision CAPAC not only to build on the theological foundation of Anglicanism, but also to seek to collaborate with structures like the Instruments of Unity and the Panel of Reference."

Depression can affect people for many things. It may be hard to know why you are depressed and how to treat it. This article provides information that will help you understand why you may be feeling depressed, and tips on how to be happier in your life.
One critical thing to keep in mind is that you must avoid your depression triggers. If you know of some action, person or situation that creates depression for your, you may want to avoid putting yourself in that situation.
For instance, if you have problems with your self image, you need to work on making yourself more healthy. Get out and do some exercise.
Try your best to have a big group of friends and don't just have a single one person. You need to have many friends to talk to, but sharing with several people can make things easier.
You should understand that you're not going crazy. Depression is a real illness which affects millions. Your body is letting you know that something is off; it may be negative emotions or a chemical imbalance. Depression is the body telling you are overwhelmed and in need of help.
Try to decorate your home so that it feels upbeat and lively. This will make you feel happier right away.
Whether you are just sad or been diagnosed with clinical depression, you should keep in touch with a professional. They can also let you know the kind of depression you are actually dealing with.
There is always hope for eliminating depression. People that have depression feel like things won't get well again and they don't stick with the treatment plan. It is important to be patient and remain positive.
Get a hobby if you have depression. Painting, photography, and a great way to show your creative side!
Online forums can be great for depression sufferers. The anonymity they offer can help you open up. There are several online groups for this specific purpose.
Try to remain positive no matter what happens if you have a great shot at beating depression.
To overcome depression, you must learn to see through the gray clouds and look at life with a more realistic view. Take a look at your goals in life, and if they're unrealistic, adjust them. If your expectations are too unrealistic, you'll likely fail, then it'll be near impossible to overcome depression caused by a feeling of being a failure.
Think about getting counseling from a psychological counseling. The most successful combination to dealing with depression is an antidepressant in the treatment of depression. Studies have shown that using the two treatments together are more effective than using either method alone. Therapy is effective at rooting out the real causes of depression and medication will help you control your mood swings.
Getting good rest will help you battle depression. Insomnia and restlessness are just a couple of the common causes of depression, so ensure you are getting 6-8 sleep hours every night. If you stay active during your regular day, you will sleep at night!
Alcohol should be avoided by people who is suffering from depression. Alcohol is a known depressant and it is proven to increase depression in certain people who already feeling depressed. If temptation exists, remove all alcohol from your surroundings, and consider attending an AA meeting.
A good tip for dealing with depression is fixing your personal problems you may have. Whatever the origins of your depression, if you don't deal with it, it will contribute to ongoing depression. Make an honest effort to solve the problems that are troubling you.
A great method of battling depression is through physical activity. The reason why it works is because endorphins are increased and they cause you to feel better. If you feel depressed, a great way to start getting better is to create an exercise plan. It can be as simple as allocating an hour each day going jogging.
As you can probably now see, there are quite a few reasons why people become depressed. However, you have the power to use the tips and ideas presented here to overcome your depression. You can use them all or simply choose the ones that suit you best. It is entirely up to you.

The inaugural Raymond Jarratt Handicap was well patronised, with 44 riders entering from near and far, showing the great respect Jarratt has earned within the cycling fraternity.
Members of clubs from Wagga Wagga, Albury-Wodonga, Benalla, Wangaratta, Shepparton, Hawthorn, Geelong, Mansfield, Footscray and Echuca were present.
Local entrants journeyed from Finley, Nathalia, Numurkah, Yarrawonga, Cobram and Barooga.
Andrew Sessions joined junior riders Josh Woods and Kattarina White over the 47.2km course incorporating Mt Gwynne.
They rode from the limit mark of 27.30 min. Unfortunately Sessions punctured at the 14km mark leaving just two, making the effort required a lot harder.
Woods won the special Mt Gwynne Hill Climb prize by outsprinting White, and he continued on until being caught by the 20.30 min markers at the 28km mark.
He later punctured, effectively ruining his chance of a victory.
The scratch bunch, possibly the strongest bunch ever assembled at Cobram, were doing speeds of up to 56km/h along Back Barooga Rd in pursuit of the other six bunches.
They turned at Back Barooga Rd in 31 minutes, at an average speed of almost 46km/h.
Olympian and World Masters champion Steve Fairless and World Cup sprint champion Travis Lindhe were part of the bunch, as well as former professional Steve 'Killer' Kilpatrick from Albury.
The bunch stayed together until Shepparton rider Kevin Laffy was dropped near the Mulwala Canal crossing in Carramar Rd.
Christian McDonald, Sam Ward, Brad Rose, Dean Holgate and Shepparton's Stanley Thomas were in the nine-rider bunch.
Punctures were the order of the day as Tony Crawford punctured with more than half the journey completed.
Mick Doyle, one of the favourites to win, was hampered by gear problems and could not maintain the required pace.
The winning bunch came to the front with about 6km to travel, resulting in a strong win to Hawthorn club member Dermot Nichols, with a margin of 60m to second-placed Footscray's Murray Crawford, with Cobram-Barooga member Robert Nichols, Dermot's brother, third.
The Nichols brothers hail from Numurkah and it was 52-year-old Crawford's first race for more than three years.
With a devastating burst of power Travis Lindhe took out the fastest time, reaching a top speed of 60km/h into a stiff headwind, and the prize for group one.
Geelong's Terry Renwick was another who hadn't ridden for many years, but unfortunately missed the Back Barooga Rd turn and was effectively out of the race, finishing about 5km short of the Mulwala township.
Bunch prizes were awarded to: Andrew Bradley and Brodie Pearse (Tolland) Wagga Wagga, Travis Lindhe, Stephen Gemmill, Murray Crawford and Robert and Dermot Nichols.
Prize money of $540 was handed out, a great effort from such a small club.
There were many who helped to make it such a successful day and thanks go to these individuals.
●On Saturday, April 8, nine riders attended the 15km time trial in ideal conditions.
Bernie Gillespie and Terry Walmsley both recorded personal best times, with Gillespie finding his newly purchased bicycle to his liking, erasing 30 seconds from his previous time.
Walmsley, not to be outdone, clipped the slender margin of three seconds from his best, taking out first place from the very consistent Michael Doyle, who was only 14 seconds from the benchmark he has set.
His brother Andrew was close behind in third place.
Rod Armstrong was hampered by a motor vehicle, but still was not far from recording his best time, being only 13 seconds in arrears.
Christian McDonald finished just outside his best ever time also.
The benchmark is set from club champion Travis Lindhe's time of 19.44 minutes and all handicaps are worked out from this time.
All times are: Bernie Gillespie 26.29 (19.34), Michael Doyle 24.34 (19.12), Rod Armstrong 24.55 (19.37) Terry Walmsley 22.18 (18.5), Heath White 23.26 (20.21), Andrew Doyle 22.24 (19.25), Anthony Crawford 22.22 (19.56), Christian McDonald 21.25 (19.39), Travis Lindhe 20.18 (20.18).
●Next Saturday, a 28km handicap will be contested on the alternate course of Back Barooga Rd. The start time is 1.30pm, at the MON factory in Hughes St, Barooga, with $5 entry. All licensed riders are welcome.

"Ha ha, I knew that hologram with the fake weapons would work!" says Connor, as he reprograms the holoprojector in the black smiths shop and makes more fake weapons.
I respawn in the Counter Strike store,I get myself a Steyr Aug A,and a bunch of grenades.
My face is covered in black soot from the explosion. I examine the joke landmine.
"Someone has been padding out Mr. Smithy's stock with fake weapons. Guess I better go tell him."
I step inside the blacksmith's shop to find Connor messing around with a hologram projector.
*sigh* "Figures."
I punch Connor's soul.
I walk inside the food court,and I make myself a lettuce,tomato,bacon and red onion sandwich.
Connor hits RaN to death with his Pogo Hammer.
*gasp* "I know what I must do!"
I die and respawn behind the counter. I grab a handful of silver .357 magnum cartridges, load a few rounds in my Python and shoot Connor's pancreas.
I run inside a Movie Costume store,and I see a costume that gets my attention.
"Is this?" (Me)
I pull a picture out of my ass.
"Oh my god,it's the costume Charlton Heston wore in The Ten Commandments! Man,that was a good movie." (Me)
I put on the costume,and I keep running around,until the clock hits 9 PM.
"Oh no,I know what this means!" (Me)
I grab a mirror,I put it in front of my,I shoot an Optic Blast,which ricochets back to me,and I'm vaporised.
"What the fuc-AHHHHHHHH, POISON!" Connor dies.
"I gotta make more of these."
I forge hundreds of silver rounds for every weapon in my current arsenal. I take Connor's pogo hammer.
"Fuck yeah!"
The predalien hops out of the shadows and decides that RaN would look allot better if he was impaled on its tail. so it impales him, kills him and runs around with his body on its tail, before returning to the shadows.
"Fuck no!"
I respawn and grab my gear. After making sure all my guns are loaded, I wander out into the Mall. A wry smile comes across my face. I call the monster out.
"Come on, do it! Do It! Come on, kill me! Do it now!"
Agitated by my incessant yelling, the Predalien charges at me. Using the pogo hammer, I get a vicious rhythmic bouncing combo going and easily slay the Predalien in one blow. Kind of like this:
But with more blood and gore. I am catapulted sky-high in the process.
I calmly walk into the mall lobby, chocolate fudge ice cream in one hand, and a Dubstep Gun in the other. I then start shooting up the mall with blasts of florescent lasers and sweet beats.
I respawn,and I nearly dodge a fluorescent laser.
"Well,that came out of left field!" (Me)
I pull out my Thompson 1921,I run to the origin of the laser while headbanging to the sweet beats,and I personally shower Knife with bullets.
A facehugger jumps on Tox's face and implants an egg.
I quickly shoot myself in the head,I die,I respawn in the lobby,and I then shoot the shit out of the facehugger.
Connor walks up to Tox and pats him on the back with Ballistic Fist, he explodes. "Oh, was I wearing that, sorry cool guy."
I respawn,I run back to Connor,and...I run back to the Gun Runners,the Dalek still stuck in an endless dying cycle,as I take two Ballistic Fists,and a Gatling Laser.
"Wait,how the fuck to I manage to hold a Gatling Laser while having a Ballistic Fist in both hands?!" (Me)
I shrug and I walk out of the store.
Connor takes out his Lego Chainsaw and walks over to the gun runners after Tox leaves.
"Oh shit, I told you about Tox cool guy." says Connor.
Connor moves the spawn point off the hole.
I run over to the park,and I test the Gatling Laser on the fountain,but because of the electric hand buzzer prank having 1.21 gigawatts of electricity,an incredibly destructive chain reaction occurs,overloading the Ballistic Fists and the Gatling Laser,and the electricity is directed the the water in the fountain,causing it to become an endless source of electricity,causing it to spew lightning all over the place,and also striking the Dalek in the Gun Runners,reseting its spawn point back to the hole,and also locking it.
Oh,and I also die,electrified,and I respawn in the Homestuck Store.
a kamikaze watermelon fly's though the homestruck store window and hits tox.
I slice the watermelon with a Caledscratch,and I pleasantly eat it,along with radioactive meat.
I run into the store where Tox is savoring the radioactive meat, scream "ZINGYBOINGYDUDE!" and explode in a nuclear fire ball
I roll my Fluorite Octet,and I roll a 1/2/4/6/7/2/8/6/,which results in a force field made out of radioactive meat,protecting me from the explosion,but giving me radiation poisoning. I rush to the Gun Runners,and I use about 15 Rad-Aways.
I run into the gun runners store after respawning, see Tox turning into a ghoul and die from laughing too hard.
Little does mcpop know that exploding in a nuclear fire ball causes side effects even after respawning,like hallucinations,sudden bursts of laughter,and also floppy genital organs.
I respawn inside of a golf store, grab a club and some balls.
"FOUR!" and i drive a ball across the mall into Tox's head killing him.
Connor goes to the Fallout store and puts on a suit of Winterized Power Armor and puts his leather jacket over it. However, he leaves the helmet takes a NCR 1st Recon corps hat and some sunglassses so he doesn't look like that one guy who I'm not suppose to mention.
Connor heads out in search of someone to kill
I respawn in a high tech weapon store,and I grab a teleporter. I fidlle on the coordinates,and I teleport Mcpop inside the electric fountain,electrifying him to death.
Connor sees Tox with a teleporter and fills him full of 5mm rifle rounds from his Minigun.
I respawn in an Ultima store,I grab a Hoe of Destruction and a Ring of Invisibility,I put on the Ring,I run to the high-tech weapon store,and I kill Connor while he doesn't notice me. I then steal the Minigun.
Connor respawns in the Retro Mall Fight store, which has all the improvised weapons of the first mall fight. Connor goes into the backroom, and sees another door with a keypad lock with letter represented by numbers.
The door opens, showing all the weapons and items used by Connor in all his dimensions and universes, but no upgrades to the alternate Connor's bodies like Dalek upgrade stations. He drops the Ballistic fist and takes the tactically upgraded .50 BMG WidowMaker and a the 5 star Agency club from the "Welcome to Sburb" dimension. He also takes a thermo vision goggles from a universe where Connor was he was a Special Agent in a military.
He walks out the store and turns on the goggles, and sees Tox walking around with the mini gun in the park, Connor then snipes off his head and takes the minigun back.
I respawn in the Mall Fight 2 store,which has all of the crap ever used or introduced in Mall Fight 2,without the retarded plot to go with it.
I kick down the maintenance door,which leads to a room,with all the crap I used in Mall Fight 2. I grab a shooper,and a Legendary Katana which is no longer legendary.
I run out of the store,and I test the shooper on a potted plant. The whole area around the potted plant is completely destroyed,but the shooper is now deactivated for several minutes.
"Why would you kick down the door? You did make the thread, you should have the key to all the doors and stuff." says Connor as he sniper Tox before his shooper recharges.
I respawn in the Mall Fight 2 store.
"Good point." (Me)
I spawn the door of the maintenance room back to normal,and I open it normally with one of the many keys I can pull out of my ass,because fuck you I made this thread. I take a dark crystal which existed in Mall Fight 2 for a reason that shall not be mentioned,and now has been re-allocated to shooting lasers.

British government says human rights of Gary McKinnon would be at risk if he was sent for trial in the US.
The UK has blocked the extradition of a British computer hacker to the United States, ending his decade-long campaign to avoid trial there over allegations he broke into sensitive military and NASA computer networks.
Theresa May, Britain's interior minister, told the House of Commons on Tuesday that she had refused the US request to send Gary McKinnon, 46, to face charges over his actions between 2001 and 2002.
McKinnon, who has been fighting extradition since 2002, admits accessing US government computers but says he was hunting for evidence of extraterrestrial life.
May told parliamentarians there was no doubt McKinnon, who suffers from Asperger's syndrome and depressive illness, was "seriously ill" and the extradition warrant against him should be withdrawn.
She said it was now for the Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer, to decide whether he should face trial in the UK.
May said: "Since I came into office, the sole issue on which I have been required to make a decision is whether Mr McKinnon's extradition to the United States would breach his human rights.
"Mr McKinnon is accused of serious crimes. But there is also no doubt that he is seriously ill.
"He has Asperger's syndrome, and suffers from depressive illness. The legal question before me is now whether the extent of that illness is sufficient to preclude extradition.
"I have concluded that Mr McKinnon's extradition would give rise to such a high risk of him ending his life that a decision to extradite would be incompatible with Mr McKinnon's human rights," she concluded.
Al Jazeera's Laurence Lee, reporting from London said: "McKinnon was looking for evidence for flying saucers when he hacked the US websites, he said he had no intention of terrorist activities, the UK government had pledged they would fight plans for any extradition to the USA for McKinnon."
'Intimidation and coercion'
Doctors said there were concerns over McKinnon's mental health and a risk he could attempt to commit suicide if extradited.
The previous plans to send McKinnon to the US had been publicly criticised by politicians across the British political spectrum, including Prime Minister David Cameron and his coalition deputy Nick Clegg.
McKinnon was originally arrested in 2002 and again in 2005, before an extradition order was made in July 2006.
US authorities have described the hacker's actions as the "biggest military computer hack of all time".
They insisted his hacking was "intentional and calculated to influence and affect the US government by intimidation and coercion".
US officials said his actions caused $800,000 worth of damage to military computer systems.
The family of Babar Ahmad, who was extradited as a terror suspect to the US alongside radical cleric Abu Hamza earlier this month, welcomed the decision but said questions had to be asked.
The family asked: "Why within the space of two weeks, a British citizen with Aspergers accused of computer related activity is not extradited, while two other British citizens, one with Aspergers, engaged in computer related activity are extradited?" They said it was "A clear demonstration of double standards." and accused the Government of "blatant old-fashioned racism".
Babar Ahmad is a 38 year old British Muslim and the longest detained-without-charge British detainee held as part of the global 'war on terror'. In December 2003 Babar was arrested at his London home under anti-terror legislation. By the time he reached the police station Babar had sustained at least 73 forensically recorded injuries, including bleeding in his ears and urine. Six days later he was released without charge.
In August 2004 Babar was re-arrested in London and taken to prison pursuant to an extradition request from the US under the controversial, no-evidence-required, Extradition Act 2003. The US has alleged that in the 1990s Babar was a supporter of "terrorism". Babar denies any involvement in terrorism. He has now been in prison for more than eight years even though he has not been charged in the UK, despite 141,000 British citizens signing a petition to put him on trial in the UK.
On 5th October 2012 Babar was finally extradited to the US after the European Court of Human Rights ruled there was no bar to his extradition and after the British High Court refused his request for a judicial review. He is currently in custody in Connecticut, USA

Here we go again with another fun-filled edition of the Yeager Boys Home Alone or YBHA. This is the fifth installment of this week when Amy heads out of the country for a few days for work.
The last time, in YBHA IV, Amy departed in November at the same time as the state high school football finals.
This trip has her heading back to Holland.
We started with a few standards.
We got our traditional picture of the boys with Amy. The only time we didn't get that shot, we know how that trip ended, 6 days later. You can see how happy Levi is in this shot. He was still waking up from his nap. I held him for part of it so he could get a few more ZZZs and Noah and Amy could have a little one-on-one time. That's important for Noah.
Another popular starting point is Aunt Kris and cousin Maddox.
Kris and I had planned to get together anyway this day as we were holding a Winter Warm up for Section 10.
Section 10 is where we sit at Principal Park for the Iowa Cubs games. Our uncle Gordon and his friends sit in the front row. It is only our third year in the section. The 2011 season will be the fourth. So we've gotten to know Bill and Linda, Ron and Chandler. I've had a lot of great nights at the park solving the world's problems with those five.
When the I-Cubs stopped doing their own winter warm up, this year Kris thought it would be good to get together in January to talk baseball and see how big the boys have gotten.
Ron and Eileen are out of the country, but we did get to see the Coleman's tonight along with Gordon.
Stop by Section 10 the next time you're at Principal Park.
Time to get to bed. Noah woke up at 550 this morning and Levi may not feeling well. This could be a recipe for disaster. This isn't the Charlie Sheen cocaine bender. We go to bed before the sun rises.

Dear Monster.com,
For God's sake, I have tried to unsubscribe at least 4 times from your utterly useless service. The "networking contacts" you send me have NOTHING TO DO with my line of work at all. The jobs you send me range from positions I am unqualified for ("President of Aerodynamics Company") to positions I am overqualified for ("Cashier at McDonalds") to ludicrous "work-from-home-stuffing-envelopes" scams (no example necessary, but apparently I can earn millions). I see better help-wanted ads in the back of "Hustler."
To date, I have not received one single response to any of the resumes I have sent out through your service, not a single response. In short your company, monster.com, FUCKING SUCKS. I hate it. I tell people every chance I get that you suck. Also, I am copying this email and posting it to my blog, so my readers will know that you suck.What a fucking waste of time it has been signing up for monster.com. You are worse than useless.
Go fuck yourselves, but before you do, please please please for the love of God, unsubscribe me from your ubiquitous emails.

To run away from something sad or painful makes nothing for me, I know, but….
I belong to a school to learn baking breads now. I'll graduate it in the end of next September. I have only about two months left to learn there.
After graduating it, what should I do? I don't know and don't understand it. It is the very significant problem for me.
Should I remain living in Osaka, or should I go back to my hometown, Fukuoka? Frankly speaking, I don't have any confidence to work at a bakery here. Of course I know how my mental health is weak, and furthermore, many people around me are worry about it… Even at school I have cried several times because I made mistakes many times and I became too strained to stop my tears dropped down. Can such a weak person on earth work at a actual bakery? Perhaps I will be scolded and gotten angry by people there… Telling the truth, I'm very very very afraid of it. I'm frightening to be hurt.
I always think that I may be one of people called "Adult Children". On the Web there are lots of information about it and some features are listed up there. many of them are fit for me, I feel… To love myself is too hard for me. To remain having self-confidence is impossible for me. To think about evaluation not by myself but by others is a typical feature of Adult Children, and I'm so too. To be gotten angry or scolded by someone is very painful and frightening for me. I'm very worry that how people around me evaluate me so that I always try to fawn over; As a result, I don't understand and find what I truly want to do…..
It is very difficult for me to believe in myself and to do something new at a field that I've never experienced.
Some people indicate that to join a school located in a strange city to learn baking breads proves that I have a courage to start something new.
But I feel in myself; telling the truth, I was very afraid of work at bakery without any experiences. I thought that I could experience various things about baking bread without any anxiety there because it is not a work place, but a school.
But, in actual fact, even at school, I haven't been able to endure something painful that ordinary people are not caring and stopped crying many times……
After coming to an end of this school, is it the best choice to get back home in Fukuoka silently? It perhaps means to run away from pain AGAIN for me.
Yes, many many many times I have run away from what gives me something painful and sad…
I'm weak. I have known the fact since I'm a teenager. To remain living is too painful for me and it has made me very tired. A too strong tempest is destroying my thought in my heart. All of things scares me….
