The time had come to put all compassion into the tightly fitted box at the back of my mind. A chicken is born to be eaten and Honey Boo-Boo was a chicken. The natural order must prevail, man against bird. Two enter the theater, only one walks out. Besides, we had this nice supper planned for today.
I rose early, earlier than I usually do so I could prepare. I gave thanks to the assembly of spirits that surrounds my hearth and humble home and dressed in clothing I reserve for only one purpose. If I ever happened to make my way into town wearing them I may be detained by the police - they're stained with patterns that leave little to the imagination. I quietly slipped out the door as not to disturb my wife. She's a little squeamish about the darker business of raising chickens. I tied a camo scarf around my head to keep my hair back and calmed my nerves by stroking my beard for a moment or two. Killing has never come easily for me, regardless of how often I've done it.
I lifted the tarp off the temporary shelter I'd placed Honey Boo-Boo in the night before and then I lifted the lid. She looked up at me and raised one wing slowly, the middle feather extended.
"So, it's going to be like that eh?" I said. The chicken nodded, her yellow eyes gleaming with hatred.
I reached into the enclosure to grab her. She shifted back into he corner so I had to lean in more. As soon as I was fully extended she struck! Honey Boo-Boo had a small shank in her other wing! She stabbed me three times in the hand and arm. I was off balance to begin with; completely unprepared when she took advantage of the situation by pulling me in with her beak. I landed hard and slightly dazed. I was just able to get an arm up to defend myself against the next onslaught of her mad thrusting, even so I still sustained a couple more defensive wounds in my arms. I kicked out and caught her in one of those meaty thighs. As Honey Boo-Boo flew back I noticed she was a lot more muscular than I'd thought she was. That chicken must have been secretly working out, planning for the very moment we were in. With a final crazy charge towards me she scrabbled up my body and over my head, and then she was out in the yard running faster than I'd ever seen a chicken run before.
Listening to her cluck with glee as she fled down the lane way I screamed out, " This isn't over Honey Boo-Boo, this isn't over by a mile you dirty bird!"
I pulled myself out of the box and wiped off as much chicken shit as I could. Then I went to the pump and washed my wounds. My wife and beagle came running, having been awoken by the commotion.
Seeing the cuts she smiled to hide her concern. "No more chickens, okay?" Then she got out the antiseptic and dressed my wounds. My dog just laughed at me, making me blush in shame.
I know what I have to do tonight. We can't have a rouge chicken running around.
lol good story.

I still have not been able to get connected to download some pictures I took in December. I really wonder if there is software out there that works or is there a setting ?? that I am overlooking. My local Bell/Aliant dealer was smiling all the way to the Bank the day I purchased the cable ($52) but didn't have the software at their location.

So no female ghillie suit then?
So no female ghillie suit then?
Arma 2 doesn't have shooting rifles from vehicles included, one of the major things it lacks and will hopefully be something they add in Arma 3 not that it would help of course. You can't see anything because there is no windows in the back of a UAZ.
Unlikely, they said that firing from vehicles would be in ArmA 2. :-)
Anyway, my question was whether the female char could equip camo and stuff, like the lads.
So I just pop into the mumble server and announce myself, then? I don't want to barge in or interrupt anything.
Yup. Go into the DeadZ channel where you see a group say "hi" and "which server are you on" and "where the hell are you". At that point you can decide if you are close enough to join the group - if they are too far away it may be worth seeing if anyone else is on another channel and asking the same questions as above. Last night I spent most of the evening just creeping north on my own - I was actually in the channel to get an idea of where the guys were headed as that changes so I could adjust my movements.
So yesterday I had recently re-arrived on the coast after a hunting accident and was making my way north. I had found a lovely new rifle (one previous, un-careful owner) and had just investigated Zelengorsk and the Green Mountain in search of some basic equipment - a backpack, matches and a compass were high on my agenda. So far nothing.
I get on the radio and make my way to the church in Pustoshka where Kefirz is waiting for me in the Church and Llamageddon is hoofing his way down from further north. A quick scouring of Pust turns up still nothing and we head cautiously into Vybor.
And by cautiously I mean that the silenced MP5 toting mobile bush that is Kefirz moved in without making a sound and myself and Llama managed to attract every other Zed that we passed by stepping on every twig, falling over fences and generally acting like a marching band.
Still, after patching us up Kefirz finds me a lovely Czech Backpack and all the other essentials and we make our way out of town without further incident. We have just reached a small copse of trees next to a barn about 50 yards out of the town when a guy comes on world VOIP pretending to be a zombie. Because of this it takes us a few seconds to realize the explosion we hear did not come over his mic.
Llama spots the smoke rising from the other side of the barn scant meters in front of us.
Ll: Look there, right ahead of us.
G: Ooooh.
K: Grenade.
Ll: Should we go hunting?
G: What, people?
K: Really guys?
Ll: Yeah, it'll be far more interesting.
K: OK let's do this.
Kef and Llama start making their way cautiously through the long grass towards the fence that separates us from the barn, I pull out my rifle and crouch in a bush to cover their approach. They cross the fence one after the other. I drop to the ground to crawl after them.
Footsteps. A twig cracks behind me.
I whirl around, trying to spot the Zed.
A shape moves on the other side of the copse from me. It has a back pack on. Did I see that right? I look to the right of the tree it disappeared behind.
G: Guys Wait, I think there's someone behind us, where we just were.
K: What?
G: (in rising panic) Shit yeah there's someone here, I can hear him moving he's on the other side of the tree he's...
*Snap, hiss, glug-glug-glug*
G: ..he's drinking a sodding can of pepsi!
K: We're coming!
Has he seen us? If he carries on past he obviously hasn't. On the other hand if he thinks there's only 2 of us he might think he is safe to crack open a brew.
Crawling, I sight in, eyes glued to the open channel to see if he calls out a greeting or a warning or anything at all.
He's coming straight at me. Rifle out, crawling cautiously to the exact point my friends had departed the trees.
G: Guys he's coming right for me, he's right there! he's, I can't wait any longer, shit!
Five M4 shots. The immediate buzz of flies.
He was carrying the mother load, lots of lovely rifle ammo, steak, blood, water, more grenades. My heart is pounding and my hands shaking on the keyboard as I quickly loot his stuff, Llama and Kef keeping watch. I drag his Alice pack off his corpse and quickly fill it with my things (including the 7 clips of his M4 ammo) and we hurry away towards the airfield.
Was this just an innocent bystander who just happened upon us? The grenades stuck in his belt suggest otherwise. He saw us, throw a grenny to get our attention and looped around to come in from behind. If he had been crouching I might think otherwise but crawling into the copse when there are no Zeds around for hundreds of yards? But then why the drink before action? The rookie mistake of some wannabe bandit? Desperate addiction to caffeine and sugar?
It was the cool, calm murder signature of a deranged apocalypse serial killer.
Great story!
Yesterday I was tweaking audio trying to get 5.1 working. In the process I spawned in electro on a night server. With the audio working, and as it was almost dawn i could see a bit and pinpoint danger with my ears. I spent a little time crawling around in the dark and manage to score most of the basics. I headed out east and up a hill as the sun came up. When I hit the tree line I turned north and hoofed it out of the area. So I'm running full blast up this mountain north of electro when I blaze past 3 guys and freak out. I hit the deck and roll behind a tree. They hadn't seen me. I was peeking around the tree to be sure. They were setting uP to snipe looters in town. At that point one of them turned in my direction. Not wanting a fight, I announced myself over direct. One of them responded warning me not to attack. I took that and the fact that I had not been fired on yet as a sign. I said "carry on, I'm just going north." and backed away. As I went over the crest one of them fired into the city... Close call. I logged off in a bush about 2km north. Not a bad solo day. Having 5.1 working at last is so immersive.
Pop into a sub-channel such as Aaaarrgh and you should see a number of people. Normally players jump into sub channels in order to co-ordinate their immediate groups actions (imagine having everyone on one big channel - what a nightmare). Don't be afraid we won't bite (or shoot...actually scrap that as accidental deaths do happen). Just hop in and have fun. Also many of us are in the UK so we normally operate between 6pm-11pm GMT.
You guys always help me get back on my feet after a death. Thanks for the ammo and water dudes!
Looking forward to coinciding at some point, though I must say I am enjoying the solo aspect too - encountering strangers is a tense situation. I have finally got my feet wet and traversed half the map, raided a few towns and installations, and shot 27 zombies with this character. Unfortunately I have logged out in the middle of a town, so I will teleport into a town at night and probably have to run from 20 screaming zombies with 12 shots to spare. I exited in prone mode and hopefully this version will keep me in that way.
Prone should keep you safe. At night a Zed will practically walk over you when prone, in day it won't notice you till it's about 3 feet away. As long as you are stationary...
I'd be interested in getting together with a player or two for a raid run near NW airfield and/or surrounding towns. I left my char near Stary Sobor so anyone traversing the mid-map give me a shout here, on the steam group or on mumble.
6 days old and still breathing. Even though I am now actually seaking people out I still can't seem to find anyone. I have made 2 runs to balota airfield now and just did a sweep of Cherno to get myself a new skin and didn't see a single person. I may have to resort to standing on the air control tower at the NW airfeild waving a flare.
Barbed wire is a real nuisance now, a tool kit is becoming a necessity.
Does anyone know where ghillie suits spawn? Camo clothes seems to spawn in apartment buildings a lot.
Edit: it seems that a new patch has started rolling out and is currently being stress tested.
* [FIXED] Long (sometimes infinite) loading times
* [FIXED] Saving sometimes will not happen
* [FIXED] Vehicles not initialized reliably on servers running multiple instances
* [FIXED] Very poor framerate on servers after some time (dead bodies causing it)
* [NEW] Server Side Architecture completely rewritten
This should be a massive improvement.

1. | Happy Monday | ||
"Happy Monday" is a weekly internationally distributed email based newsletter full of breasts that keep you Happy on Monday's. more...
It's subscribers belong to "The Kingdom Of Happy Monday" - a delightful and wonderful place, headed by King Monday and his loyal band of sub editorial merry men - "The Tittie Committee". According to legend, on thy 8th day God created the Boob. And God saw that it was good, but lonely. So on thy 9th day, God created another. And it was...awesome. He then made sure King Monday took control of Boobies worldwide given his great appreciation and knowledge of them to spread the joy to the people of the Kingdom. Why Happy Monday? It's simple - don't hate Mondays! It's one seventh of your life! If you die when you're 70, that means you spent 10 whole years of your life complaining that it's Monday...and that just won't do. So thanks to Happy Monday, subscribers don't complain anymore - instead riding into their week with a sunny disposition after learning to spend one seventh of their lives being truly happy, giddy and occasionally taught to be a better person. Apparently, a woman's biggest annoyance is having a man talk to her chest all night. On the other hand, a man's biggest annoyance is seeing boobs he can't touch. Happy Monday aims to help men learn to maintain eye contact. Lots of Love and Boobies. Subscribe to: email@example.com |

The recent reassignment of District 150 principals and administrators prompted Sharon Crews to repost the following quote from a local blog:
"Insiders say the March 29 move to reshuffle Peoria School District 150 principals and administrators is unprecedented, and may have violated the Illinois school code and other laws and rules." "The openings were not posted, so others had no portunity to apply for them, which flies in the face of affirmative action rules. Those who lose pay or have other working conditions affected by these changes may have lawsuits against the District."
Again, what concerns me is what appears to be an ongoing effort on the part of the District Watch Group to find people to sue District 150. I have a problem with people constantly seeking ways to take taxpayers money through lawsuits. These frivolous lawsuits don't do anything to better the environment in our schools - they actually hurt teachers morale, the children and the community as a whole.
From what I understand, some principals who proved to be uniquely qualified, had more than one option to choose from (some of which may have been considered promotions). Principals have known since January about the pink slips and the changes that were to be made. The claim that the positions were not posted appears to be FALSE...
From a January 14, 2011 pjstararticle:
Superintendent Grenita Lathan, who spoke Thursday about building administrators having to reapply for their jobs, could not be reached Friday.
Lathan said principals already should have shared word with their seconds-in-command and others, including deans and academy leaders, but said she plans to meet with the nearly two dozen affected employees personally next week.
"I don't want there to be any misunderstanding," Lathan said.
The superintendent said plans may involve reducing the number of assistant principals across the district but she also will assess each building to determine which schools need assistants.
She said some schools have assistant principals, though there is nothing substantiating why other than "they always have." Part of what will determine which schools have assistant principals will be enrollment.
To that effect, the district's 12 assistant principals, four deans and Manual High School's four "academy leaders" essentially will be pink-slipped.
Lathan said all those affected may reapply for the jobs, but any employee in the district holding a Type 75 administrative endorsement, the credentials needed to hold the post - the same as principal - may also apply. The openings will be available to applicants outside the district as well, "but preference will be given to those already in the district."

Six Nations informs Grand River communities of its jurisdiction
A letter from the Six Nations asserting jurisdiction all along the Grand River watershed is being taken seriously, the Kitchener mayor says.
The Haudenosaunee Development Institute, which handles economic development issues for Six Nations, sent a letter last September asserting aboriginal title over much of the land adjacent to the river, all the way from Lake Erie to Grey County, and the institute says it will begin a public campaign for its assertion later this month.
Carl Zehr, the mayor of Kitchener, confirmed he received a letter from the institute that demands a say in future developments and a share of development fees.
"I didn't take it as a particular threat, it was obviously stating a strong position and that goes into our memory bank, in terms of how we deal with the issue in the future," said Zehr.
Zehr has vivid memories of what happened in Caledonia two summers ago when a dispute over a housing development escalated.
"Clearly," said Zehr, "no municipality, no neighbourhood, would want that kind of confrontation."
Zehr said he and regional councillors in the Kitchener-Waterloo area are willing to talk with the Six Nations. A delegation has met with them already.
Toronto lawyer Aaron Detlor, who heads the Six Nation's Haudenosaunee Development Institute, said this is just the start.
"We are going to go out, and identify specific areas where it's clear there's been no surrender and no payment, and go and advise people, this is not your land. There's no more of this sweeping it under the rug. It's not OK to steal land anymore and we're going to make people aware of that," he said.
Six Nations members have written to municipalities, reminding them of the massive land grant of 1784 that gave the Confederacy rights to 10 kilometres of land on either side of the river.
Later this month, the four-month-old Haudenosaunee Development Institute plans to send out flyers and start radio and newspaper ads asserting jurisdiction.
Detlor said that demanding a say in developments on disputed land is not an act of provocation. He said it should have the opposite effect, and avoid conflict.
"This assertion of jurisdiction could easily be portrayed as something that's going to raise the temperature, so to speak. But really what it's going to do is set a long-term temperature we can all live with," he said.
Detlor said municipal leaders should press the federal and provincial governments to find a global solution to Six Nations claims so each municipality won't have to forge its own development agreement.
"Six Nations doesn't just want a cheque. It wants a say on all development along the river and a share of any development fees."
A say in development and a share in revenues: These are consistent demands of Indigenous groups across the country. I think it is quite reasonable. We have had use of their land for 200 years. It is time to share.

The problem with this position is they were conquered hundreds of years ago. How far back hould we go for reparations? What about the stuff that happened in Europe hundreds of years ago? Should the Germans pay compensation to the Englisd for the Saxon invasions?

Ask Premier To Act; Aboriginal apparatus akin to 'extortion'
Allison Hanes, Published: Friday, January 18, 2008
NP Network Blogs
Developers in a wide band of Ontario's economic heartland claimed by aboriginals say they have been left to fend for themselves by the provincial government, forced to choose between seeing their projects blockaded or paying a little-known, self-proclaimed First Nations bureaucracy to leave them alone.
The Ontario government has offered little guidance, other than advising developers not to pay the four-month-old Haudenosaunee Development Institute (HDI).
Edwards Landfill is up for sale, without much hope of that. It is a toxic stew from the 50's-60's in the curve of the river near Cayuga on the map, between (red) current Six Nations territory and Lake Erie.

As the above quote from the land grant shows, Six Nations people are not a "conquered" people. The land was granted in return for services rendered during the American War of Independence.
The Six Nations were allies.
The larger issue for those of us who are neither Six Nations, or members of Canada's aristocracy that stands to profit from stealing from Six Nations and other people, is whether or not agreements made by our government mean anything.
So, if you are a member of the Canadian Military, one might wonder if a government that plays fast and loose with it's agreements with First Nations people, would also play fast and loose with veteran's pensions.
Or, industrial workers might wonder that a government that steals from First Nations might also steal from the E.I. fund.
Oh...gee...it seems to me the government has already done those things.
For the vast majority of us, one cannot take the government side, one cannot be opposed to the Six Nations claim without working against one's own self interest.
We have a common enemy in all this. It's the government, and it's unchecked ability to steal, and cheat us all.
Of course, the governor at the time thought that making profit from land sales was the strict playing ground of the Family Compact, and did his best to stop such deals until Brant out manouvered him by appealing directly to the Crown.
But, it was enough to through much of the ownership of the land into confusion.
I suspect later land "transactions" were predicated on the politically reduced power of the Six Nations, and pretty much involved governments taking the land with little to show for it in return.
Which is why Six Nations scoffed at the recent offer of government money "to be put in trust". These "trust" accounts have a habit of evaporating.
Which brings me to a critique not just of the Six Nations, but First Nations activists on land claims in general.
I believe they are in a unique position to connect the dots between subsequent land transactions, "trust accounts" and the end results.
For the general public, all they see is current First Nations protesting over 200 year old treaties, when the reality is they are protesting over much more recent events.
Putting all this together with "Qui Bono" as the theme, might paint a truer picture than the one the media keeps throwing at us.
I once owned a property where the federal government has simply registered another plan against the title,removing 5 acres of my land. On doing my own due diligence, I came across a discrepancy. Not having the expetise to resolve it,I hired a land surveyor who told me that there were 2 plans registered against my title and that the federal government had basically stolen the land without compensation.
When informed,the Surveyor General was less than impressed but the bureaucrats to whom I addressed my concerns just brushed me off, trying to stonewall and make resolution as difficult as possible.
Legal advice I received told me that I would have to take the matter to Federal Court and that the land wasn't worth it. I told the lawyer that he was just another bottom-feeding sleazeball more interested in wringing fees than winning the case. I went after the bureaucrats myself and raised so much shit that they settled for 5 acres of lakefrontage.
The only way to get these bureaucrats off their ass is to drag them out in daylight and hold them accountable. If there is the possibility that some of the shit flying will stick to their own fur,its amazing what they can accomplish. [img]biggrin.gif" border="0[/img]
I just love this quote:
quote:Six Nations shirking rule of law: developers
Since 1923,there have been 23 land claim grievances presented to the federal government,all of them ignored. So, the quote is more accurate if it stated:
Federal Government shirking rule of law.
quote: Is it possible to research land titles back to the Haldimand Grant?
I was doing a bit of research on an entirely different subject, and came across old maps, on line, that showed the ownership of every parcel of land in obscure little Westminister Township circa 1880's. I think, yes, many of those records are available, somewhere.
What I think has gone on over the years, and what I think the evidence may show in many cases, is that deals were made to separate First Nations from the land they had title to. Probably in exchange for money that was, as I said, often put in trust. Following the money trail, finding out just where that money was put, and where it went to, might impact current institutions, who should be held financially, if not criminally, culpable in all this, along with civil servants and politicians that may still be amoung the quick.
What do you think the federal government was up to with the military base in Ipperwash? I think it's obvious that they were hoping the small band would assimilate into the other band, or die off altogether, or just plain forget the claim.
Then, either a Liberal or Conservative government ( doesn't really matter a whole lot which ) would be able to sell off the land to their financial and political supporters.
As your experience indicates on a small parcel of land, Jester, every time land changes hands, there is this fee and that fee. Sometimes to lawyers, sometimes to banks, sometimes just even survey companies to survey land over and over again because the bank says so.
When you get a chance whenever your local newspaper runs articles on Liberal and Conservative candidates and the movers and shakers in their ridding associations, take note on how many come from a law background, or real estate backgrounds.
People who make money on the movement of land ownership, and people who make even more if that movement isn't smooth.
And these people write our laws.

Contrary to leftcoast's position, the issue in dispute is not whether or not the land was granted by the Haldimand proclamation. What is disputed is later events -- such as sales of the land in the late 1700s (close to 400,000 acres) and the surrender for sale (or lease) of the remainder outside the reserve in 1841.
My understanding, gleaned from presentations and discussions with Six Nations people, is that one block of land was sold, almost immediately, to provide investment/income for the community. Brant was given Power of Attorney to do that. However, the Brits continued to deal with Brant, and he with them though he had no further authority from the Confederacy Council to do so. Many people would like to believe that whatever Brant did was legal and had the approval of the community, but that simply is not so, according to the. Their evidence resides in Council Minutes and other documents.
All it takes is one minor land dispute that can be proven illegal in court to open a watershed of similar cases. Find the proof with a government minion's signature on it. Don't negotiate with the weasels,just go directly to court. Negotiation will merely finesse any subsequent linkage into oblivion.
These guys are experts at stonewalling and dissipating dissent.The only thing that matters to them is their own entitlements and the method to advancing gievances is to put those entitlements on the line.
Whacking away at them with a 2x4 for 200 years hasn't worked so try sticking a pen in their ass.
Attacking the developers and others caught in the middle merely lets the decision makers off the hook and creates a negative community response. It is a tactical trap that is easy to fall into. The bureaucrats must be rolling on the floor laughing at how easily they dodged the bullet and deflected the issue onto hapless property owners.
The strategic solution is to examine each land title for irregularities and to prosecute the irregularity and apportion blame to individuals,not "the government". Go after them where they live and put them on the defensive.
Likely, most of the perpetrators are long dead but governments can be held accountable for the errors or malfeasance of their minions. lay the blame on the minion and make the government accountable for their minion.

Beyond links – 'things not strings'
Google and Bing are taking different approaches to 'humanising' their search results to actually answer questions, rather than just responding with a page of links.
Both are making in-roads into this, Google with its 'knowledge graph' and Microsoft with 'Snapshot service'.
Google's 'knowledge graph' attempts to join together all the information they have based on people's search terms – from the term itself, the link results, the location of the search, the pages that most often visited to answer the query etc, to create some meaningful relationship between them.
The idea is that it will then be able to provide answers, rather than just links. For example, if you Google 'Where is Komedia Brighton', it should in theory return the address for you, rather than a list of web pages that contain the location, cutting down your search time.
Likewise, if you Googled 'history of St Paul's Cathedral' it should serve up some facts – when it was built etc.
Bing's approach differs slightly in that it will try to provide extra information like search results along with results.
Restaurants will include links to photos, review and other 'social' information – the idea being that Bing wants to help people perform 'real world' actions as quickly as possible.
What about us humans?
It will be interesting to whether each engine's approach will take it into a different area of specialisation or whether over time, both will converge and provide the same type of information.
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this. Do we need or want our search engines to become more 'human' in their ability to respond to search queries? Or is it just an inevitable extension of the ever more complex social web?
Are services like Quora – relying on people and their expertise – already doing the job much better than an algorythmn could ever do? Or will the likes of Google and Bing simply incorporate information found in Wikis and Quora into their knowledge bases?
In the future, will these services will still be necessary or will Google and Microsoft incorporate them into their ever-more powerful engines?

Positive Spirit
By Ashleigh Bryant
The forewarning for first-timers attending the 26th National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic is generally the same: Prepare yourself for an emotional experience.
This is an understatement, to say the very least. "What I've seen here has been truly miraculous," said National Commander Donald Samuels, a first-timer who tested the slopes himself in a sit-ski. "I looked around me and saw nothing but smiling veterans, smiling families. All of Snowmass Village seemed to be filled with the positive spirit these veterans brought with them."
For as profound an experience as it is known to be, there are some emotions that never seem to come into play at the clinic. Yes, there are undoubtedly moments of frustration and anger for veterans as they struggle to overcome enormous personal obstacles, but it is uncommon to see that bubble to the surface. There is no pity exchanged between veterans, but rather a spirit of camaraderie and mutual encouragement. The clinic is no place for commiseration, and participants may as well check all self-doubt at the door.
Nearly 400 veterans and service members with traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, visual impairments, neurological conditions and other disabilities made their way to the clinic to test their mettle at sports like skiing, scuba diving, hockey, rock climbing and trapshooting.
Near the center of the village, a veteran climbed from the seat of her wheelchair to the top of the rock wall. As she struggled against weakening biceps in the last few feet, the cries of support and enthusiasm from her fellow veterans carried through the air and echoed off the mountainside until she made her final push. She gave the bell at the top of the wall a loud and victorious ring, sending those veterans below into fits of cheering and applause. These men and women lend each other every fiber of support they can muster to lift each other up.
Even the most desperate stories a veteran may share at the clinic are not enough to overshadow the fact that he or she is there, taking positive steps toward a better life. The clinic is a place where real flesh-and-blood success stories are written before your eyes.
Another veteran shared his experience of having a "30-year love affair" with substance abuse before getting back on the right path to clean up his life. Is that the story we want to hear? Not exactly. But we know the realities facing our veterans. We know that no one comes home from war truly the same, and that service in the nation's military leaves scars which, no matter how small, place veterans at higher risk for things like homelessness, drug addiction and suicide. We cannnot solve those problems by tucking them away and not talking about them. So yes, in a way, a story about victory against a 30-year potentially life-ending struggle is exactly the kind of success we want to hear about.
It serves as a clear reminder that triumph against physical odds is not always the most challenging hurdle for these veterans, but overcoming those obstacles is a jumping off point for these men and women to rebuild their confidence and, ultimately, their lives.
In addition to the full schedule of sporting activities afforded to veterans, the clinic offers a wide range of group sessions dedicated to healing the emotional trauma associated with injury and illness.
Marine veteran and author of the book Jarhead, Anthony Swofford, hosted a session on how to craft and use creative writing workshops as part of rehabilitative therapy. Swofford explained that this can not only help with a veteran's cognitive abilities, but also serve as a form of expression to help put the past in the past.
"I like to think about it as a way for vets to slow down and find a place of quiet for themselves," said Swofford. "One man came up to me after the class and thanked me. It made him realize he could safely articulate what he had been through, and then through the act of writing he was making more sense of it and making more sense of his injuries."
Like Swofford, there are hundreds of volunteers who gave freely of their time to make the clinic possible. That includes both current and former members of the U.S. Disabled Ski Team, as well as others dedicated to making every aspect of the clinic run smoothly.
At the end of the day, the veterans themselves tell the clinic's story so much better than anyone else can.
"I've heard them talk about how this clinic brought them back from the edge of depression, how it gave others purpose and drive to exceed their own perceived limitations," said National Adjutant Arthur H. Wilson. "It's amazing how one event can do so much to convince a person how much they are truly capable of, and I know these men and women will carry that with them throughout the rest of the year."

This is a post, a message as you may for the dads, boyfriends, or significant others to the baby momma.
In today's society, it's easy to forget that there any major differences between the genders. Until your wife/girlfriend gets pregnant. Then the difference between the sexes will yawn like a great chasm before you. While your pregnant wife/girlfriend spends nine months growing a baby inside of her, you will be left to watch from the outside; While your biological contribution might be over,you'll still want to be part of the pregnancy process.
Being a pregnant woman is tough. And a lot of guys find the pregnancy process a little bewildering. Not knowing what to do, they end up nervously backing away instead of stepping up the support when their women need them the most. So today, we'll talk about how to take care of your pregnant wife.
How to Take Care of a Pregnant Wife
1. Respond appropriately to the news your wife is pregnant. If you weren't planning on the arrival of a bundle of joy, make sure you don't respond in a way that shows you're not excited about the news. Inappropriate responses would include: breaking down and crying tears of agony, making a face of disgust, or asking why she wasn't using her birth control. You want your wife to feel confident and secure that you'll be there for her during these trying nine months and that you're willing to step up and be a great dad.
2. Read some books on pregnancy. The more you know about what she's going through, the better equipped you are to empathize and know how to help. There are hundreds of pregnancy books to choose from. What to Expect When You're Expecting is a classic and guides you through what your wife is experiencing during each step of her pregnancy. They have a section dedicated just to dads that has a lot of useful information. It also lays out the development of your baby throughout his/her incubation. I thought it was kind of fun to check the book to see when Gus lost his vestigial tail or his eyes moved from the sides of his head to the front where they belong.
3. Accompany her to doctor's appointments. This serves three purposes. First and most importantly, it shows your pregnant wife that you're with her all the way in the pregnancy. Second, you'll know exactly what's going on with her pregnancy and will be better prepared to help her. Pay close attention to what the doctor says at these visits. A woman's memory takes a dive during pregnancy and she may be nervous and excited, so your wife might rely on you to remind her about which cheeses she's not supposed to eat. Finally, seeing your baby's picture, even when it looks like an indistinguishable lump, and hearing its heartbeat will help create a fetus/father bond. Even if you're really busy at work or school, always make time for the doctor's appointments.
4. Reduce her stress. Pregnancy is physically and emotionally demanding, so don't burden your pregnant wife with any unneeded pressure. Take on more of the household chores so your wife can rest. Offer to do the shopping, pick things up from the floor for her. Her hands and feet will start to swell and the simplest things such as tying ones shoes will become difficult. Want to be a true hero? Offer to shave her legs or paint her toenails.
5. Help her get some ZZZs. Sleeping will become a more and more uncomfortable as your wife gets further along in her pregnancy. When women sleep on their back, the baby's weight puts pressure on their spine, back muscles, intestines, and major blood vessels. All this can lead to pain, decreased circulation, and consequently trouble falling asleep. On top of that, the baby could be using your wife's uterus as a punching bag right around bedtime. Try falling asleep when you're getting punched and kicked from the inside.There are a few things you can do to help your pregnant wife get some shuteye.
- Get your wife a full body pillow. Pregnant woman are supposed to sleep on their side instead of on their back or stomach. A full body pillow makes side sleeping a bit more comfortable by helping support the back and cradling your wife's belly.
- Backrubs right before bed.
- Herbal tea that relaxes the mind and body.
- Cuddling
- Sexy time.
7. Be patient. Pregnancy totally wreaks havoc on your wife's hormones. Some days she'll feel fantastic, some days she'll bite your head off as soon as you open your mouth, and some days she'll break down and cry for no reason at all. Be patient and recognize that it's the hormones. Also, be understanding when it comes to your love life. Your wife's sex drive will be all over the place during her pregnancy: often plummeting in the first trimester, bouncing back in the second and falling again in the third. Patience, friend, patience.
8. Handling frequent peeing. Pregnant women pee frequently. Very frequently. I'm talking every 30 minutes they're making a run for the bathroom. It's kind of funny, but put yourself in your wife's shoes, and you'll see just how much of an inconvenience it is. Imagine having to get up three times during a movie or several times in the middle of the night just to take a leak. Two things you can do to help your wife out in this area:
- First, be understanding and accommodating. Don't roll your eyes or grumble under your breath when your wife asks you to pull over into a gas station so she can go to the bathroom.
- Second, keep her path to the bathroom clear so she doesn't trip over anything during her night trips. Installing a night light in the hallway can be really helpful as well.
9. Act like you're pregnant. No, I don't mean you need to put on one of those ridiculous bodysuits that let men know what it feels like to be pregnant. Nor am I encouraging wild mood swings and consuming ice cream sprinkled with pickle juice. What I'm talking about here is adding or dropping the same habits your wife has to add or drop because she's pregnant. It's a way to show moral support and to help her follow doctor's orders as closely as she can. So when your wife has to give up alcohol and coffee, become a teetotaler too (or at least don't imbibe in front of her). Exercise is incredibly beneficial to mom and baby to be, so help her get in the habit by offering to go for a walk or to the gym together.
10. Tell her she's beautiful and that you love her. Your wife will be undergoing some serious body transformations during pregnancy. Reassure her that you think she's beautiful and that you love her immensely. Affirm your unwavering dedication to her each and every day.
11. Help her through morning sickness. Morning sickness is quite possibly the worst part of pregnancy (well, besides that whole labor thing). It strikes about 75 percent of all pregnant women. Symptoms of morning sickness include headaches, excessive sleepiness and of course feelings of nausea and sometimes vomiting. Most women will start feeling the symptoms of morning sickness about a month after conception, and it will typically last until the twelfth to fourteenth week of pregnancy. Some women will experience morning sickness their entire pregnancy. Despite its name, morning sickness doesn't happen only in the morning. Most women experience the symptoms of morning sickness all day long. When helping her through this rocky period, the key is to keep experimenting with different remedies. Introduce new treatments each day to see which work for her and which don't. Be willing to make many trips, sometimes late at night, in search of something else to ease her troubles. Here are a few remedies that might do the trick:
- Vitamin B6 supplements. Studies have shown that vitamin B6 supplements can alleviate the symptoms of morning sickness.
- Seasickness bracelets. Seasickness bracelets are elastic bands with plastic bumps that apply pressure to points on the wrist. Supposedly this pressure can reduce the feelings of nausea.
- Ginger ale. The fizziness of ginger ale or any other clear soda can help with nausea. And ginger has been shown to reduce the symptoms of morning sickness. So ginger ale is a winning combo. Most popular brands of ginger ale don't have any real ginger in them; look for smaller, independent brands that still use the real McCoy.
- Crackers. The problem with morning sickness is that your wife will not feel like eating much, but an empty stomach will only make the feelings of nausea worse. Crackers are easy on the stomach and can stave off the nausea that starts in the morning. Have her eat some before she even gets out of bed.
- Ginger or peppermint tea. As with ginger, peppermint has been shown to help reduce the feelings of nausea associated with morning sickness.
12. Be flexible. Some foods will be totally unappetizing to your wife one day, and the next it will be the only thing that appeals to her. Be flexible and give her whatever her stomach will keep down. Be willing to run out and buy whatever she craves.
Keep yourself clean. Pregnant women become hypersensitive to smells. Even scents she once enjoyed can now start her stomach churning. So brush your teeth and shower daily, or she may not be able to stand having you around.
13. Keep an open door policy for venting. Pregnacy, especially for first time moms, can be a little scary. Women wonder if the baby is doing okay, what labor will be like, whether they'll have to have a c-section, and whether they'll be good at being a mom. Be willing to let your wife vent or cry whenever they need to, even if it's in the middle of the night. If there's something specific that's worrying your wife, do some research so you can confidently tell her, "Those pains you're experiencing are normal and do not mean you will give birth to a two-headed hydra baby."

Regulation & Radio Electric Spectrum in Latin America and the Caribbean
The saturation of the traditional markets of telecommunications operators, the convergence of services and the desire of governments to increase accesses and broadband coverage are some of the reasons that Latin American and Caribbean nation Governments are looking at the granting of radio electric spectrum licenses, mainly oriented to the implementation of UMTS/hspa and WiMAX, with great optimism. Research firm, Signals says that it believes that the optimal assignment of this resource should revolve around three essential items: the delivery systems, the coverage guidelines and the deployment timetables that are imposed as a limit for the commercial launch of the services. more

TxDOT Director resigns, too little but not too late
Yesterday, with the announcement that Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Executive Director Amadeo Saenz will retire at the end of August comes much relief from the grassroots who have insisted that change at the top of the beleaguered agency is necessary to move transportation forward. However, the speculation has already begun as legislators, local officials, [...]

Refreshed Icon Is An Alpine Star When it comes to something as inherently outrageous as the supercar segment, you might think that it would never really need shaking up. But that's not the case – every once in a while, you have to have something that reorders the breed – a goalpost mover like the McLaren F1 or a Bugatti Veyron. Or you need to have challengers to the establishment on other fronts, be it styling or powertrain technology. Sometimes, just the presence of a new marque is enough of a disruptor to put everyone on guard. And that's what exactly happened with the ... Read More

The team over at Motor Trend has pitted the new Audi R8 V10 Plus against the Nissan GT-R. While both of the bright red all-wheel-drive supercars are comparably matched in power output, the similarities end there. Audi offers a mid-engine aluminum coupe with a naturally aspirated V10 that spits out 550 horsepower. Nissan shows up with a more traditional ...
Bavarian tuners ABT have done another job on the Audi R8 V10, pumping up the 5.2-liter FSI V10 from 525 horsepower to 600 hp, and torque from 391 pound-feet to 406 lb-ft. With 50 more horsepower than the R8 V10 Plus - but not the extreme weight-loss scheme - ABT claims a 0-62 mile per hour run of 3.5 seconds, the same as the R8 V10 Plus, and a top speed ...
Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man, has been a pretty loyal R8 guy in the movies – there was a coupe in his garage in the original film, and he conspicuously rocked a V10 Spyder in the sequel.

After skipping the 2013 model year, the Audi R8 is back for 2014 with a new look, added performance and a slightly higher starting price. In V8 coupe form, the 2014 R8 starts at $114,900 (*not including $1,250 for destination and a $3,000 gas-guzzler tax), but looking at that price, which has risen just $5,900 since the performance coupe first debuted in ...
The classic car-versus-motorcycle comparison is put to the test as Autocar pits a 2013 Audi R8 V10 against the Ducati Diavel in a run from 0-150-0 miles per hour.

It took 24 hours to run the race, but it was the last one was stuffed with the high action as four cars were still trying to figure out how to gain victory on the track and in the pits.

i have been so impressed with the quality of releases on software.
the autre ne veut single was a surprise gem for me; made it quite high on my 2012 tracks list despite a bizarre and unnecessary mykki blanco verse.
i was even more delighted by this pete swanson song they released - i wasn't previously familiar with yellow swans, which has been a revelation in and of itself. anyways, i particularly like this beat-driven approach that swanson is using now, and am eager to hear the full EP in march.
very curious to see what lopatin & co. pull out of their magic hat next. they're on a winning streak!

Way back in 2001, the GRAND THEFT AUTO franchise laid the framework for what became an obsession for game developers with sandbox-style open environments. While building upon itself and creating one of the more standout and critically acclaimed franchises, the GTA series spawned a slew of bastard-child knockoffs, making the term "GTA clone" a popular piece in the game-review lexicon—and consequently a major turn-off for gamers, as titles bearing this moniker rarely held up to their progenitors' quality.
For JUST CAUSE 2 (Eidos Interactive/Avalanche Studios), the term indicates both its tragic downfall and a shining accomplishment. The play and environment of this brutal and blood-drenched adventure set a new bar for interactivity, but the story, characters and certain minor elements fall into the trap of being just another GTA clone.
JUST CAUSE 2 (available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC) reunites players with Rico Rodriguez, that conglomeration of antihero archetypes derived from an exhaustive history of comic books and action movies. In the new story, Rico finds himself on Panau, another fictional island (this time in Southeast Asia), chasing down his former mentor and battling the regime of a newly empowered dictator. Along the way, Rico encounters a vast array of characters teetering on the line between hero and villain, who offer him some form of assistance in exchange for his hand in their dirty work. Much as in the previous GTA clone MERCENARIES, the story follows Rico has he works between three warring factions and the controlling military, completing various side missions to further complete the overall objective.
This premise is where the game takes a dive into the darker side of the sandbox genre. The narrative, at times hard to follow and somewhat boring, becomes an afterthought to the beautifully accessible environment. The secondary characters all seem to have graduated from Action Movie University, with several majoring in Bad Foreign Accent Studies. The dialogue could have been written by an eighth-grade drama class, fueled by the one kid whose parents have Cinemax and no clue how to restrict the TiVO. The jerky vehicle controls leave a lot to be desired as well, with most of the ground-transportation handling really rough and clunky, and anything riding on two wheels turns about as well as a shopping cart.
That aside, JUST CAUSE 2 does offer a stellar accomplishment in its gorgeously rendered and vastly unrestricted environment. Aside from being able to drive, fly, boat, swim, ride or walk to any point on the map, Rico constantly carries a grappling hook and a magically reappearing parachute. This should set a new standard mandatory for any character in an open-sandbox environment. There is a point where you can literally stand atop the highest peak of a mountain and parachute your way to the island's lowest point, all the while soaking in the stunning visuals Panau has to offer. On top of having no boundaries, the architecture supplies an endless playground of demolition, as players will find it hard to resist setting every fuel reserve, silo, satellite dish and other staple military-base adornments ablaze with an always-ready weapons-on-demand supply of grenades, missiles, turret-mounted vehicles and any gun imaginable.
Battling as Rico himself employs great third-person-shooter features, being that he can wield dual weapons and utilize a free-aiming system, letting players pinpoint targets such as enemies' limbs. When done properly, this is a great feature of the Havoc engine, as you can spend hours doling out torture and pain by shooting various body parts and watching the target squirm, buckle and fall into a pool of blood. The pinpoint accuracy demonstrates its rewards where the grappling hook is involved, as Rico can dual-hook a player to a vehicle (or any object to any other object) for endless variations on death scenes and destruction sequences. So if the idea of attaching a hook to an enemy's face and the other end to a moving truck has any appeal (as it should), then Rico's your guy.
JUST CAUSE 2 isn't going to turn the genre on its ear or become a household name for never-before-seen gameplay, but it's certainly not a title on which to pass, especially for fans of open-sandbox environments. Between the seemingly endless supply of vehicles, the obligatory grappling hook and parachute combo and the boundless, unlimited access within the map, players can (and probably will) buck the storyline entirely and spend countless hours exploring the world of Panau. So dust off your passport, brush up on your flight and aiming controls and take a trip with Rico Rodriguez to a fictional Pacific destination for some base-jumping, plane-abandoning, building-destroying fun. Just forgive him if he seems a little…cliché.
