Well, this is a crossover that I did not expect. These games are so vastly different, but I'm sure Level 5 and Capcom can deliver. I may follow this game just because I love how unique the concept is.
Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney detailed in new trailer
Trailer for 3DS crossover title reveals more gameplay details; puzzles will be combined with signature Ace Attorney courtroom interrogations.
A new trailer for upcoming crossover title Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney from Capcom and Level-5 has revealed more details about the gameplay.
Although the trailer is in Japanese, the gameplay footage makes it evident that the title will combine the defining elements from each of the two franchises.
Players will be required to investigate clues and solve different kinds of puzzles while playing as Professor Layton and Luke, while the other part of the game will require the same courtroom interrogations and clue matching that has defined the Ace Attorney series.
Players will alternate between Layton and Phoenix Wright.
According to CVG, the game's story will see Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright descend on the medieval town of Labyrinth City, where villain ruler Story Teller is able to create anything he wants simply by writing it down.
Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney is due out in Japan on November 29 for the 3DS. There are currently no details about a Western release for the game.

KARE drops the A-Bomb
To bleep or not to bleep. That was the question facing KARE-TV (Channel 11) news director Tom Lindner before the station aired its "Extra" segment on the 10:00 p.m. news this past Wednesday, November 14. The story documented the reunion of two long-separated brothers, Tom and Dean Weisser. As the camera captured the pair's first embrace in more than two decades, an overcome-by-emotion Dean sobbed to his wayward brother, "I'll say this again: You could have called, asshole."
When the story aired, nary a bleep was to be heard. "We agonized over using the word," Lindner recounts. "It's not normal for us to include language like that in the newscast. But we thought in the context of the story it made sense. Guys say things like that to each other. It was a natural moment."
According to Lindner, the station has no written policy on censoring language; calls are made on the basis of context. "I don't know if asshole has aired," he says. "I know in times past we've let ass and shit air on the 10:00 p.m. newscast."
In the days following the broadcast of the Weisser brothers piece, Lindner reports, the station received more than 50 phone calls and e-mails. Many were from people searching for their own lost relatives; others called to compliment the story. No one, Lindner says, made any mention of the use of the word asshole. -- By Mike Mosedale

Customer reviews
Mediocre game with poor controls
tomatoketchup | April 29, 2013 | See all tomatoketchup's reviews »Pros: price, the entire package with coupon + trade in was $5.00
Cons: Moving the character around feels like driving the mako in me1.
The port from console to PC was poorly done.
Very limited weapons, each NPC has a specialized weapon, while you get to upgrade their weapons you don't get to use it. You have 4 weapon slots, your main weapon and sidearm can't be dropped or swapped, a 3rd slot is for grenades. So at any given time you can only carry 1 specialty weapon, which you lose when you progress to the next stage.
Overdramatic camera shaking with every explosion does not add to the environment, it makes game play annoying.
The game is made out to be more of a movie than a fps. Numerous cut scenes are sprinkled through out the game and really cuts into the flow of game play.
Bottomline: Would I spend $5 to buy the entire binary domain package again? no.
A solid game with some flaws
DaiMonPaul | March 23, 2013 | See all DaiMonPaul's reviews »Binary Domain is a game that I'm torn on. I love the atmosphere of the game, and the story feels somewhat Blade Runner-ish. There's a lot to like here, but the game is far from perfect. If you can overlook its foibles, though, you can get a lot of enjoyment out of this somewhat unheralded game.
First, the good. The game plays like a standard third-person shooter with a cover system that should feel pretty familiar. It doesn't really add anything unique to this basic gameplay, but it all works well. The shooting elements feel really good, and the ability to shoot off various parts of your robot enemies is awesome. Being able to knock the legs off a robot, only to see it crawl after you, is something that never gets old. Likewise, the game gives you some choice, even if it is fairly linear overall. You can choose which members of your team accompany you on missions, you can level up team members and weapons, and you can favor one team member over another, which will result in your colleagues liking you or disliking you (and refusing to follow some of your orders).
Ultimately, though, all of these choices don't really impact the game all that much. It's nice to have different options, but the game still remains relatively linear.. Mass Effect, this is not. The game also includes voice commands as a selling point, but these don't always work very well. It's a solid idea, but it's just so much easier to turn them off and use the keyboard or controller to issue commands. And that leads into my final major complaint with the game -- it is a PC port from consoles, and this shows. It runs quite well and it looks good, but I found it to be difficult to play with a mouse and keyboard. The mouse sensitivity is set waaaay too high, and any config options have to be set outside the game in a separate config program. With a controller, the game works much, much better, and I'd highly recommend using one to play.
The game itself is probably an 85 or so. Why have I rated it lower? This is the "complete" pack, but it doesn't really add enough content to justify the extra cost. Very few people play multiplayer (which feels a bit tacked on to the game), and the multiplayer pack only adds one map and a few weapons. The Dan Marshall pack gives a few items and cheats for the main character, but it ultimately adds very little. These are nice to have, but the base game is cheaper and is all that you really need to have an enjoyable experience with a solid (if unoriginal) game set in a cool setting.
A good third person shooter
Xibalba | Feb. 27, 2013 | See all Xibalba's reviews »Is a third-person shooter video game developed and published by Sega. The game is set in Tokyo in the year 2080 and features innovative enemy AI technology. The player can issue commands to their squad mates either by using buttons or voice via headset A major part of the game is the Consequence System. Trust plays a part in the story mode on how the squad views the player. Their opinion of the player is based on how the player performs and treats team members. This affects both the storyline and the gameplay, where the characters behave differently depending on trust levels.Great and interesting story
Prices does not justify content
Coolicy | Feb. 12, 2013 | See all Coolicy's reviews »Binary Domain is a great game. Brings quite a bit of innovation to the squad-based third person shooter and is quite fun. A little overlooked by audience IMO. The game itself is solid, and would deserve an 85 score IMO.
This review is scored as it is because of the way it is packaged. Minus points for calling it the complete package when it actually contains less value than the base game itself.
The multiplayer pack is totally pointless. There is Not A Single Soul playing. The Dan Marshall pack is nice, adds more to the base game. However, the game is fine without it... so this doesn't really justify the increased price over the base game.
You're better off waiting for a sale on the base game and save the excess on another game.
Great game
Cavalieroscuro | Feb. 11, 2013 | See all Cavalieroscuro's reviews »Binary Domain is essentially a third person shooter like Gears of War. The fact is, the game has a story, and it's an interesting one too. You can give orders to your teammate thanks to the headset, and it's very funny because you see a lot of different reaction. The game is never boring, there are a lot of different situations and also the graphic is very good. In my humble opinion, this Sega game is superior to all the Epic Games saga.

So I might be a little obsessed with "The September Issue" - the documentary following Anna Wintour, Editor in Chief of Vogue magazine and staff in the making of the September 2007 issue, the largest in Vogue history. Owning the DVD, I've watched it about five times and with as many fabulous moments that stand out, there is one design element that I can never seem to ignore - Mrs. Wintour's office chair! As we get a peek into her overwhelmingly cream and traditionally designed office, mouldings and all, I can't help but notice the stark contrast of her industrial steel office chairs - I'm simply perplexed by the choice. While it is classic vintage design i would expect a plush cushioned French or English silhouette with a stunning upholstered pattern - quite the contrary. But the latter works beautifully in modernizing the space, and I suppose that's what makes her the taste maker she is!

Just joined and so thought I would start myself a diary...always find that when SS'ing it helps to have someone to talk about it with. I've done it before and replace eating with talking, its far more nutritious
I've changed my life over the last year... left my husband, quit my job, moved house and finalised my divorce. Its been a rollercoaster of emotions and I probably have added to my already excessive weight with emotional eating. I have also suffered with depression, but.... somethings changed inside me recently. I feel positive...I have a clean slate, I just got a fantastic new job and I'm motivated to diet and exercise. Its going to be a long journey as I have ALOT to lose but every journey starts with one step
Regarding the diet, Ive been following it for maybe a week...initially because I had some shakes in my cupboard and was basically so poor I couldnt afford food. Ive been on benefits for several months and its caught up with me. Thankfully I start a new job this week and so I will soon be earning again and so the diet wont be enforced it will be one of choice. Anyway being forced to start SS was a blessing as I'm enjoying being back in control. I have been having the odd bit of chicken/salad when I have been offered at my mums house so I'm not entirely SS'ing but these arent out of control binges they are still within the realms of the CD steps...im just making up myself really...the main thing is I'm in control
I've started exercising as well, just walking for now, but its great, gets me in the right mindset and encourages me to stick to the diet. I have also been doing some toning exercises in the house and I'm just feeling soooooo positive, I just know that I can do this. Its going to take lots of effort and determination and hard work, but I'm going to use this diary to record my progress and help me stay focussed.
Wish me luck

'Bap! Bap!' SEAL hero at last tells how he killed bin Laden
- Last Updated: 4:30 AM, February 12, 2013
- Posted: 2:14 AM, February 12, 2013
The Navy SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden has broken his silence and told for the first time of the daring raid that took out the evil terror leader who masterminded 9/11.
In an interview with Esquire magazine, the hero — who remains anonymous for safety concerns — tells how he and his SEAL Team Six comrades fought their way to bin Laden's room in his Pakistan hideout and finally served justice.
"I shot him, two times in the forehead. Bap! Bap! The second time as he's going down," the Special Forces fighter said.
"He crumpled onto the floor in front of his bed, and I hit him again. Bap! Same place."His forehead was gruesome. It was split open in the shape of a 'V.' I could see his brains spilling out over his face."
The SEAL's account is the most complete yet of the dramatic May 2, 2011, raid on bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
The man who killed bin Laden had been one of two dozen elite commandos who flew into Pakistan on two helicopters for the daring mission.
That night, the SEAL said he found himself following a comrade to the third floor of the lair, where intelligence said bin Laden was hiding, protected by guards and relatives.
As the mission started, he felt a strange calm.
"For some reason, I said to myself the George Bush 9/11 quote: 'Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward, and freedom will be defended,' " he said. "I could just hear his voice, and that was neat. I started saying it again and again to myself. Then I started to get pumped up. I'm like: 'This is so on.' "
The attack on the bin Laden compound started with a display of skill, that took out the terror boss' 23-year-old son, Khalid.
"I saw the point man holding up. He'd seen Khalid . . . I heard him whisper, 'Khalid . . . come here,' in Arabic, then in Pashto. He used his name. That confused Khalid," the SEAL told the magazine.
"He's probably thinking, 'I just heard s--tty Arabic and s--tty Pashto. Who the f--k is this?' He leaned out, armed with an AK, and he got blasted by the point man.
"That call-out was one of the best combat moves I've ever seen."
The team then moved toward the room where bin Laden was holed up, and encountered some more of his entourage. The team knew the mass murderer's minions may have been strapped with explosives. But the commandos bravely pressed on.
"On the third floor, [my point man] tackled two women in the hallway . . . He thought he was going to absorb the blast of suicide vests; he was going to kill himself so I could get the shot. It was the most heroic thing I've ever seen," he recalled.

Volatility struck Wall Street today as investors weighed the latest Euro Zone and domestic developments, forcing stocks to close roughly where they started. While Greece secured a consensus for a coalition government, U.S. central bankers announced their continuation of the stimulus package "Operation Twist". Somewhat disappointed with the Fed's "mild" reaction to the struggling economy, stocks closed on a mixed note: the Dow Jones Industrial average shed 0.10%, while the S&P lost 0.17% and Nasdaq came out on top, cinching a slight gain of 0.02% [see also 101 ETF Lessons Every Financial Advisor Should Learn].
After weeks of riding on the hopes of the elusive QE3, investors finally got some answers, but perhaps not exactly the ones they wanted to hear. Although the Fed announced that it would extend Operation Twist through the end of the year, they did not decide to take a more aggressive approach to boosting the economy as many investors had expected. The Fed, however, indicated that they are willing and "prepared to take further action" if needed. While this news may be optimistic and somewhat comforting, the Fed's economic outlook on growth and employment have altered, painting a rather grim picture for the U.S. [see ETF Technical Trading FAQ].
The Invesco PowerShares WilderHill Clean Energy Portfolio (PBW) was one of the best performers, gaining 1.14% on the day. While tensions somewhat eased after today's Fed meeting, this ETF inched higher as investors slightly increased their risk appetites. PBW settled just shy of its high of $4.48 per share [see also Energy Bull ETFdb Portfolio].
The Barclays iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX) was one of the worst performers, shedding 4.21% on the day. Restored optimism from the Fed and positive developments in the Euro Zone helped quell investor fears and cool off volatility. VXX spiked during early afternoon trading hours, then proceeded to free fall after Ben Bernanke's conference [see also Low Volatility Portfolio].

The distribution system is the network of pipes and the associated fittings, valves, hydrants and appurtenances that transports water throughout the City. Most of the distribution system is located within the city street right-of-ways. A small percentage is located in cross-country easements. Water is pumped into the distribution system from the water treatment plant on Kenoza Lake. The distribution system includes approximately 235 miles of pipe that range in size from 2-inch up to 36-inch. Pipe materials include unlined cast iron, lined cast iron, ductile iron, transite, and PVC. Pressures and storage throughout the system are maintained by three concrete storage tanks and 5 booster pumping stations throughout the City. The pumping stations operate to fill storage tanks and/or pressurize separate high pressure zones. Your Water Service: -- top of page -- Water Service Termination: -- top of page -- Cross-Connection/Backflow Control
Program: Cross-connections are prohibited unless protected by a backflow prevention device approved by the Water Division. The Water Division determines the type of backflow prevention device a property owner must install to protect a cross connection. All plans for the installation of backflow prevention devices shall be submitted to the Water Division for review and approval. After installation the Water Division must inspect the installation and test the backflow prevention device. The Water Division may enter properties served by the City's water distribution system to conduct surveys and inspections for cross connections and potential cross connections within the property. The Water Division will shut off a water service without prior notice to eliminate a cross connection or backflow condition where contaminants or pollutants are suspected to be a threat to public health. The water service shall remain shut off until the cross connection or backflow connection is eliminated, or the condition is remedied, at the owner's expense, and the remedial work is approved by the Water Division. The Water Division also recommends backflow protection for private wells. If you have questions or need additional information on requirements for backflow prevention devices or cross connections call the Water Division at (978) 374-2375. -- top of page -- Hydrant Permit: -- top of page -- Water Service Application: -- top of page -- |

Charter for East Lancashire's young jobless launched
8:00pm Thursday 10th January 2013 in News By Bill Jacobs, Local government reporter
EAST Lancashire's MPs have been asked to back a new charter to help the one in four local young people with a job, education or training course back on the road to work.
County trade unions are calling for more apprenticeships, work experience and a better targeted benefit system to help under-25s with the preparation for employment and not penalise those who get it.
They have warned that long-term unemployment early in life can scar people for life.
The Lancashire Association of Trades Union Councils (LATUC), which represents 30,000 workers in Lancashire, has written to all county MPs asking them to support the North West Trade Union Congress's Charter for Young People. Local Labour MPs Jack Straw in Blackburn, Graham Jones in Hyndburn, and Lindsay Hoyle in Chorley; Tories Andrew Stephenson in Pendle, Jake Berry in Rossendale and Darwen and Nigel Evans in Ribble Valley and Burnley Liberal democrat Gordon Birtwistle have been contacted.
LATUC secretary Peter Billington said: "It was estimated 12 months ago that at least one in four young people in Blackburn with Darwen, Burnley, Hyndburn, and Pen- dle were not in education, employment or training.
"This was not the choice of the young people themselves. Youth unemployment is now at crisis levels.
"There are simply not the jobs about.
"For young people, long-term unemployment scars for life.
"It means lower earnings, more unemployment and more ill health later in life. It poses particular challenges for young women.
"We want Lancashire's MPs to support:
- A job guarantee of paid work or training to every young person who has been out of work for six months or more.
- Action on apprenticeships: All public bodies should commit to recruiting a set number of apprentices each year.
- Quality work experience.
- Reform of the rules on Jobseeker's Allowance to allow young people to return to full-time education without any loss of benefits and financial support, to help all young people boost both their learning and employment prospects.
- Practical support to help young people stay in education and assist with transport costs to enable young people to travel to work."

TwinMOS PC2700 Passes Intel Test Validation
Comment | Print | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
Sophia from TwinMOS let us know that their DDR333 memory has just passed Intel's strict full-loading test - I guess congratulations are in order, now only if the industry can perfect DDR400 there would be a lot of happy faces. Something more interesting I discovered from the press release was a link to a page at the Intel website which details which memory companies were approved at what speeds (DDR200, DDR266 and DDR333) and at what cache latency settings.
More information at the Intel website

Microlite BackupEDGE Version 01.01.08
Naturally, the first thing I tried to do was a small test backup of about 9MB using my /etc directory. When I first tried this, the backup failed. Possibly the scan for sparse files affected the SCSI host adaptor. In any case, once I rebooted my system, I got successful backups on both of my tape drives.
The reason for the reboot was that I used another computer to test backups over the network, a process Microlite calls "remote backups". I reconfigured BackupEDGE to use ssh because I already have ssh working with public key authentication, thus allowing secure transfers of data without passwords. I was able to configure the client machine and start a backup, but it locked up the server. Oops. After rebooting the server, I was able to back up on the server, but not on the client. My second attempt did not crash the server, which was an improvement. You also can use any host to administer another host. Apparently, the rsh or ssh connection is made and broken over the course of a session, so you may have waits while hosts authenticate.
Verifications can be done against the original file or by checking the CRC checksums stored with the data. The latter is useful for verifying a file after the original has changed. It is also a quick-and-dirty acceptance test of tape-drive head alignment, which is useful for less expensive tape drives, like some of the QIC offerings. Verification can be done as a routine part of the backup process, which is great.
Restoration is easily done from the edgemenu program. You can restore redirected files to another location via any of the three interfaces. For the GUI addicts, there is an X-based restore tool, edge.emx (see Figure 5), that you may launch from edgemenu. It is suited for restoring individual files. Selecting a directory also selects the files and directories under it, if the directory is not expanded. The process is simple enough: select a database and click on it. Click your way down the tree until you select all the files you want. Click on Transfer to add the selected files to the restore window. Then click on Restore to restore the data.
The manual is large, over 270 pages. With reasonably large type and a fair amount of white space, it is easy to read. Seventy pages of the manual duplicates the man pages, and some of that is for operating systems other than Linux. Then there is another 130 pages of documentation on the crash recovery software. A good contents page is provided in each volume, but the index is a bit sparse. For example, there is no entry for sparse files, and you have to already know that Microlite calls them "virtual files". Overall, the documentation is plentiful, extensive, conversational and easy to read. Microlite gets an "A" here.
Part of the documentation expands on error messages. When a program produces a terse error message, you can look it up in the documentation and get a more detailed explanation. Other software vendors should learn to do this.
The documentation even tells you how to customize some aspects of BackupEDGE. For example, remote backups are done using rsh. However, the exact steps you need to take in order to use ssh are documented.
Customer support is provided via e-mail, phone, fax or web site. There is no e-mail list that allows customers to exchange experiences directly. I did run into one problem that led me to customer support: I tried to substitute ssh for rsh. We never did get that to work, possibly because I took sick while trying to debug this problem. The support I got was polite but appeared to be perfunctory. E-mail responses were timely and had I not gotten sick, we probably would have gotten ssh working in time for this review.
Disaster recovery should be very easy to do with RecoverEDGE, BackupEDGE's disaster recovery software, once you have it set up. I say "should be" only because I actually have not tested the restore process. Using HP's OBDR (basically a bootable tape drive) or a floppy disk set you build with BackupEDGE, you can make a backup tape for disaster recovery. When you need it, boot to the floppy or tape drive and away you go. The Microlite RecoverEDGE software will also adjust your partition sizes as needed in case you are restoring to a larger hard drive. Even machines that back up over the Net can use RecoverEDGE, which is more than you can do with OBDR.

Today's modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a "one size fits all" enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Free Webinar: Linux Backup and Recovery
Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

When Hank Truxillo moved his family to the San Fernando Valley a few
years ago, they hoped to find an earnest, down-to-earth neighborhood.
They discovered it in Reseda, on the banks of the Los Angeles River.
"It's (got) an old, funky downtown, just the way I like it," said
Truxillo, 51, now secretary of the Reseda Neighborhood Council. "It is an
interesting, unique place. It is Americana."
It should be. Reseda will celebrate its 100th birthday on Saturday with a
Reseda Centennial Music & Arts Celebration. The bash in Reseda Park will
feature live bands, art, food, rides, a car show, movie night and more.
For the past century, the central West Valley community has been the
little L.A. suburb that could -- and couldn't.
Reseda, one of the first towns in the Valley, became an epicenter for its
postwar development (as well as the real epicenter for the 1994 Northridge
Later bypassed by freeways and shopping malls, it also became a byword
for economic blight.
Despite such challenges, however, some hope for a Reseda rebound. They
see a Reseda rich in Hollywood lore, rife with historic schools, churches and
parks and rekindled by its Main Street mom-and-pops.
And symbolized by the historic Reseda Theater.
"Reseda was the hub of the
San Fernando Valley, like a prospering flower," said Nancy Sweeney,
founder of Revitalize Reseda, a nonprofit advocacy group. "(But) it's a
wilting flower trying to be rerooted.
"Up, up and away -- we're looking for the flower to prosper once again."
Once part of the Lankershim wheat empire, the town first known as Marian
was born through a patriarch's love for his daughter -- and a newspaper
publisher's love for money.
With Owens Valley water on the way, a syndicate run by Los Angeles Times
publisher Gen. Harrison Gray Otis bought most of the southern Valley,
according to historian Kevin Roderick.
His Los Angeles Suburban Homes launched three new towns to help spearhead
a local land rush: Van Nuys in February 1911; Owensmouth (later named Canoga
Park) in March 1912; and Marian (Reseda) on July 20, 1912.
Marian was named for Otis' daughter Marian, wife of Times' scion and
business manager, Harry Chandler.
Each burg was linked by an expansive new boulevard, Sherman Way. Pacific
Electric Red Car trolleys were soon added to carry commuters 25 miles
Less than a decade later, Marian was renamed Reseda, after a commonly
found garden plant. Until the 1940s, it was a hub for sugar beets, walnuts,
lima beans and lettuce, with a population of several thousand.
After World War II, its population exploded. Shaped like a square --
between Victory and Roscoe boulevards, and Corbin and White Oak avenues -- the
6.5-square-mile community now harbors 72,000 residents.
At its heart is Reseda Boulevard and Sherman Way.
"This used to be the place to shop," said 39-year-old Cary Iaccino, chair
of the Reseda Neighborhood Council, gesturing toward what used to be a J.C
Penney, not far from a long-gone J.J. Newberry five-and-dime. "Then they put
the Northridge mall in, and sucked away all the core businesses.
"That was the beginning of the downfall."
Iaccino walks past the commercial ghosts of yesteryear.

This post is another chronic case of me over-sharing. Because this is what I do. It doesn't bother me, but I know it makes other people uncomfortable. You have the right to look away.
We'll address the whole "what on earth will my children think of their mother question" another day.
And… this all happened a week or so back now. Apart from the stinging shame of shoulda-known-better, I'm over it. For that reason, comments are on… but please don't be too sympathetic, it just may make me cry.
No names have been used, but if they were, they would have been changed to protect the not-so-innocent.
I told you it was dangerous.
We want to know what happened, right?
I don't think I can tell you, even though I speak of everything here. Only because it feels dripped with shame and stupidity.
So I'll allow you to form the picture for yourselves.
A good looking man, who I described before. So obviously used to women who fall all over themselves for him.
A very vulnerable woman, who forgets her own vulnerability and pretends she's strong enough to play with fire without getting burnt.
Without pushing splinters of bone into the already bleeding, raw crevices in her heart.
He gets in her head. She's stupid. He's arrogant.
She thinks she's too old, too smart, to cynical to be played.
"I'm not the kind of girl who f*cks on first dates."
It says that on my profile.
"I'm not the type of girl who fucks on second dates, either."
"Obviously… maybe I'm not the kind of guy who bothers to wait for a third date."
Played. All my instincts are telling me I am being played, and he will not call again… I don't listen. I go ahead and do what every other girl does in his presence, what I said I wouldn't… submit.
And I try to pretend I don't care, when I don't hear from him.
I'm lieing to myself. I do.
Just a tiny bit of heartache, to poison the experience, to remind me- as if I needed it, ever- that this isn't a game. This is life.

My Very Gay Night at Very Straight Strip Clubs
I'm about as gay as Cristiano Ronaldo's underwear drawer, so the sultry photos plastered outside of New York's mega strip club, FlashDancers, have never really interested me. Recently, though, I got to thinking, and as a man who loves sex, sex workers, the Platonic company of other men, and absolute camp insanity, I decided I should just sack up and go inside some straight strip clubs.

5 undoubtedly the definitive DVD release!HumanLeaguefan | 31/03/2008 | See all HumanLeaguefan's reviews (218)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Music Reviewer Top 100 Books Reviewer Quite rightly considered as one of the true BBC sit com classics, 'Fawlty Towers' gains this definitive three disc 'complete' box set release in attractive slip case design and accompanying eight page specially illustrated viewing notes booklet. Disc one offers up three hours that comprised the six Season One episodes with the option of listening to season director John Howard Davies, whom in my opinion came across as a tad hesitant. The second disc weighs in at about three hours and fourteen minutes in length where Bob Spiers is on hand, should you wish it, as you verbal viewing companion to the six Season Two episodes he directed. For me Bob seemed a much more confident commentary contributor. Undoubtedly what makes this 'complete' title so appealing is the third disc containing a wealth of bonus features unique to this release. Weighing in at about one hundred minutes this features worthy 'exclusive interviews' with John Cleese, Prunella Scales and Andrew Sachs together with rather dry but interesting 'Torquay Tourist Office' extra, outtakes, 'Cheap Tatty Review' and fascinating 'Easter egg' covering the fate of the building used as the hotel in the series. This is a marvellous 'definitive' release that honours the comic genius of this 70s sit com classic in the best possible way.
5 Classic!ChrisCarra | 16/01/2008 | See all ChrisCarra's reviews (58)This is pure genius. I know the episodes are always on UK Gold and you've seen them all hundreds of times but so what? This DVD comes with a load of added extras including the "real Basil Fawlty" and interviews. Will always be the staple of British Humor.Buy this and you will not regret it!
5 The Best British Comedy Sitcom of All TimeRambo456 | 12/09/2008 | See all Rambo456's reviews (1259)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Music Reviewer Number 1 Gadgets Reviewer Top 100 Clothing Reviewer Top 10 Toys Reviewer This is writing, acting and comic timing at it's best. Have enjoyed a lot of other comedy shows but nothing comes close to the magic of Basil Fawlty and co. Reason it's so good is beacuse everithing is invested into just 12 episodes, rather than making loads of unnecassary episodes just for the cash. Bravo
5 A Real Touch Of Classdoctordavid | 14/08/2007 | See all doctordavid's reviews (15)The word classic is bandied around a bit too much nowadays but this series is one of the greats. An all round masterpiece of writing, acting and comedy.The series doesnt date and the fact it is well and truely in the 70's adds to the charm.Basil Fawlty is one of the great tv characters as is Sybil -his gorgon of a wife and Manuel their diminutive Spanish waiter. They have become icons of British television. Every episode is just hysterical and no matter how many times you watch them you just dont tire of them.The extras disc is great with interviews with members fo the cast and a visit to Torquay to the locations and chats with locals just add to the pleasure of the series.This is undoubtedly one of great classic comedies of world television and is recommended without any hesitation.Buy it and love it.
5 A Work Of Comedy Artkidjones | 22/01/2008 | See all kidjones's reviews (7)A disfunctional hotel with a disfunctional owner with a disfuctional marriage! Fawlty Towers is one of, if not the best british comedy ever made. John Cleese is the epitimy of humour in Fawlty Towers with slapstick and witty humour that you will laugh untill you cry at, if it is his wife, butler/porter or his car you are bound to get a laugh out of every situation. The cast gel smoothly also, with Prunella Scales as the wife and Connie Booth as the maid/waitress. If you think about it if you have stayed in a hotel somewhere around the English coast you will have at least one memory of something that has happened and you'll say 'just like in fawlty towers'. It really is that good. Even though only twelve episodes were made the twelve are an outsanding tribute to British comedy. Buy this box set and you will not be disappointed because you can watch the over and over again and you won't get tired of or used to the gags. Overall a must have. Pure genius.

M ultifactor productivity, a measure relating output to the combined inputs of labor, capital, and intermediate purchases, remained constant, on average, between 1963 and 1991 in the metal stampings industry.1 (See Chart 1.) Many factors, such as new technology, changes in the skills and effort of the workforce, and economies of scale, influence trends in multifactor productivity.
Since 1985, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has published a labor productivity measure for the metal stampings industry.2 This article extends the Bureau's work by presenting a multifactor productivity measure for the industry.
Labor productivity in the metal stampings industry grew at an average annual rate of 0.9 percent over the 1963-91 period.3 As measured by output per employee hour, labor productivity comprises the effects of changes in capital per hour, intermediate purchases per hour (materials, fuels, electricity, and purchased business services), and multifactor productivity. The multifactor measure accounts for the influences of the capital and intermediate purchases in the input measure and does not reflect the impact of these influences on the productivity residual. It also allows analysts to quantify the effects on labor productivity of changes in capital relative to labor and of the intermediate purchases relative to labor.

"The nuclear test conducted in our nation this time is the Earth's 2,054th nuclear test. The five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council have conducted 99.99 percent of the total nuclear tests."
North Korean foreign ministry on Friday, May 29th, 2009 in a released statement
North Korea contends that the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council have conducted 99.99 percent of all nuclear tests
Facing international condemnation for a recent underground nuclear weapon test, the North Korean Foreign Ministry released a statement accusing the United Nations Security Council of hypocrisy.
"There is a limit to our patience," its Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried on the official Korean Central News Agency. "The nuclear test conducted in our nation this time is the Earth's 2,054th nuclear test. The five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council have conducted 99.99 percent of the total nuclear tests."
As a matter of policy, PolitiFact does not take totalitarian dictatorships at their word. Beyond that, we were simply curious which countries have done nuclear weapons testing, and how much. So we decided to check this claim.
According to a report from the Natural Resources Defense Council, there have been 2,051 nuclear tests worldwide since 1945 done by the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council:
Russia/U.S.S.R - 715
France - 210
China - 45
There have been only a handful of other tests, although there are doubts about the exact number.
In 1974, India tested a nuclear device, although it produced a relatively small explosive yield. India claimed to have detonated five more nuclear devices in May 1998. In response to the Indian tests, Pakistan announced that it had exploded five nuclear devices a couple weeks later.
It has been widely speculated that India and Pakistan exaggerated the number and size of the explosions for political reasons. Nonetheless, that's the number of announced nuclear tests.
Since then, North Korea is the only country to perform an announced test. Its first came in 2006. And then on May 26, 2009, North Korea announced that it had successfully conducted its second underground nuclear test, in defiance of international warnings.
(There has also been some speculation that Israel may have conducted a test in 1979, but those claims have never been substantiated.)
So arguably, there have been as many as 13 nuclear tests conducted by countries other than the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, said Carey Sublette, creator of the Nuclear Weapon Archive, which tracks nuclear testing via public records. By Sublette's count, there have been a total of 2,054 nuclear tests. That means 99.37 percent of all the tests were done by the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, he said.
"It's about right," Sublette said of the figures cited by North Korea. "If it's off, it's only off by a few (tests)."
We aren't inclined to quibble with fractions of one percent. We find North Korea's claim to be True.

NORTH Queensland stands to benefit from multiple major base minerals projects over the next few years but their timing hinges on global economic recovery spurring demand for metals, a new report says.
The finding is contained in the 2013 Major Projects Report, compiled by research firm BIS Shrapnel, released yesterday.
The report focuses on engineering construction projects valued at more than $100 million which, although dominated by liquefied natural gas and coal projects in southern and central Queensland, contain a swag of projects in the North, including Legend International Holding's proposed $1.8 billion Paradise phosphate project near and in Mount Isa and Rio Tinto's $1.1 billion South of Embley Weipa bauxite mine expansion.
Major reconstruction projects on the Bruce Highway, including the $138 million duplication of the southern entrance to Townsville and the $135 million Townsville Ring Road stage four, are also listed.
However the report warns that an anticipated decline in public investment, on which road construction depends, will happen at the same time as the boom in the resource sector cools.
"The North West Province in Queensland could stand to benefit from multiple major base minerals projects covering phosphate, silver-lead-zinc, copper, tin and nickel," the report says.
"Timing of the global economic recovery and demand for metals and minerals will be the key issue to underwrite the next round of minerals investment in this region."
CuDeco's $250 million Rocklands copper project near Cloncurry is under construction, while Evolution Mining's $127 million Mount Carlton gold mine about 150km south of Townsville is at the stage of being commissioned.
Other minerals projects listed in the report as "expected" include Xstrata's $310 million George Fisher expansion at Mount Isa, Mineral and Metals Group's $1 billion Dugald River silver, lead and zinc project north of Cloncurry, Ivanhoe Mines' $320 million Merlin molybdenum project in northwest Queensland and Altona Resources' $313 million Roseby copper project north of Mount Isa.
Statewide, the report forecasts investment will shrink in the five years to 2016-17, predicting activity to peak at $18 billion in 2012-13 and decline to $10.9 billion by 2016-17. It says Queensland faces a period of unprecedented uncertainty.

Rush Limbaugh's advertising exodus is deep into its second week, and despite the radio host's claim that the impact of 50 companies pulling their business has been negligible, listeners in the nation's largest media market were treated to over five minutes of radio silence where Limbaugh's advertisers once stood today.
There were four separate instances during this afternoon's broadcast on WABC 770 AM in New York City where the network fell silent. During the lead in to the show, two and a half minutes of silence was broken up by a single, solitary ad before Limbaugh hit the air. Then, towards the end of the first hour of Limbaugh's three hour program, a public service announcement was followed by an additional minute of silence before Limbaugh returned. Another minute of dead air came in hour two, and a fifth minute in hour three followed that. A spokesperson for WABC wouldn't say whether the silence was caused due to a technical glitch or Limbaugh's fleeing sponsors.
As Media Matters reports, of the 86 ads that made it on the air today, 77 of them were free public service announcements donated by the Ad Council. An additional seven ads were from companies that are in the process of pulling their spots from the show, leaving just two ads during the entire three hour broadcast that were purposefully paid to appear during the program.

Premonition (with bonus track)
CD (Item 580768) Columbia/Big Break (UK), 1976 — Condition: New Copy
A beautiful album from Jon Lucien – one that's been far too neglected over the years! This was Lucien's second album for Columbia – and it's a wonderfully strong effort that fuses together jazz, soul, and Brazilian styles, in a manner that recalls some of his best work for RCA – but also moves the music into a slightly more modern soul vibe, too! The sound's a bit tighter than in earlier years – but the best cuts really benefit from this approach, and have sort of a Bill Withers-esque mix of smooth instrumentation and real soul vocals. Titles include the classic "Hello Like Before", plus "Child Of Love", "Mi Vida", "Spring's Arrival", "Gaku", and "If I Could". CD features a bonus early version of "Child Of Love". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Origins & Milestones
Origin of TMC Academic Journal
The idea of introducing an academic journal to facilitate the exchange of ideas among academia was first mooted by the current Chief Editor, Dr. Ha Huong, during her short working holiday period at TMC in December 2005. Subsequently, TMC Academic Journal was introduced in December 2005, thanks to the efforts of Dr. Kuppuswamy Ranganathan and his colleagues at TMC Business School. Dr. Ranganathan also worked closely with Dr. Ha at the initial stage to develop the guidelines/instructions for submission to the journal.
The journal provides opportunities for TMC staff members, academia and practitioners to publish their original and unpublished research works and to exchange ideas and experiences in teaching and doing research. The dissemination of research output will help TMC leverage off its reputation for quality, professionalism, research and development which can contribute to justifying its leadership role in the private education industry.

The two ravers died last November
by Flora Drury
Friday, July 13, 2012
The deaths of two clubbers at Alexandra Palace has been put down to "lifestyle choices", absolving staff of blame.
A report into the security during two all-night music events at the Palace in November last year found the two deaths were not caused by "any actions, omissions, failings or malpractice on the part of any employees, management or directors of Alexandra Palace Trading Limited (APTL), Lock & Load, or any contractors present at the event".
Richard Michael Baker, 20, of Mount Road, Chessington, Surrey, and Lloyd Edward Jones, 21, of Thornhurst Avenue, Oswestry, Shropshire, died on Sunday, November 26 last year.
Mr Jones had attended the UKF Bass Culture event on Friday night, while Mr Baker had attended the Together Winter Music Festival on Saturday night.
It is thought both men had taken the class A drug ecstasy, which was from a rogue batch.
Inquests into their deaths are due to take place next week.
The report, which was presented to the Alexandra Palace and Park board earlier this year, looked into suggestions made on social networking sites of lax security before the event – allowing drugs to enter the venue – but found targeted searches on patrons, bag searches and CCTV was all being used. The only criticism made was having only two search lanes, rather than four.
The board was told the decision not to rebook another Lock & Load event was not because of poor management, but because press coverage meant it carried a higher risk and any small issue would be blown out of proportion by the media.
It was agreed the suggestions made by the report would be used when organising future events.

It's finally mid-May, and you know what that means! Well, yeah, it means a nice holiday for Memorial Day coming up. But think bigger . . . That's right, it's almost summer! AND it's time for our next STACKS chat:
WHEN: Tuesday, May 26, 6-7 p.m. (ET) / 3-4 p.m. (PT)
TOPIC: Year-End Reading-Wrap Up — what did you read this school year and what will you read this summer?
Can you believe there have been about 160 school days since Labor Day? That's a whole lot of "independent reading time" — 80 hours if you did 30 minutes every day! But you can't fool us — we know you love books as much as we do. (Uh, have you even seen how much you guys post on our book boards?) So join us for a live chat to talk with other kids about your favorite books from this school year and what you plan to read this summer.
And in the meantime, count down the days to that glorious season of swimsuits, sleepaway camps, and sunblock in our Summer Challenge competition. Join a team, score points by reading, and help Scholastic donate to kids in need. Plus if you're on the winning team, you get to brag like nobody's business. So check it out — just don't have so much fun that you forget about our chat!
See you on May 26th!
— Your Friendly STACKS Staffers :-)
UPDATE: 5/26 — Thanks for joining the chat! A transcript will be posted soon.
UPDATE: 5/28 — Transcript is now available for your reading enjoyment.
