Arrests coming in corruption case involving St Thomas Councillor
The Police High Command has confirmed that several arrests are imminent in the case of the St Thomas Councillor and two other persons who are facing corruption allegations.
The other persons facing arrest are a pastor and a businessman in the parish.
The impending arrests follow a ruling from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), which was sent to the police last Thursday.
Senior Superintendent Anthony Castelle, who is the head of operations for Area 5, says he is aware that some persons will be arrested.
However, SSP Castelle says he has not read through the DPP's ruling and could not say if all three persons will be arrested.
In confirming that the ruling was sent to the police, DPP Paula Llewellyn told The Gleaner/Power 106 News Centre that her office was asked to give an opinion in relation to allegations of attempting to pervert the course of justice.
The decision by the St Thomas Police to interview the Councillor drew a firestorm of criticisms from other People's National Party Councillors in the parish.
The Councillors berated head of the St Thomas Police, Deputy Superintendent Charmaine Shand, and questioned her competence to lead the St Thomas Police Division.

Bose Connect App Secretly Collecting and Selling User Data: Lawsuit Filed
by Apr 21, 2017 12:55 am0
A lawsuit has been filed against Bose for secretly acquiring personal data from customers and selling it to advertisers. Earlier this week, Kyle Zak from Chicago has sued Bose for disregarding the privacy of its users.
According to Zak, he had purchased Bose QuietComfort 35 headphones by paying $350 and then installed the Bose Connect app on his phone to "get the most out of your headphones." Hence, he entered his details like name, email ID and the serial number of the headphone on the Connect app.
Through Bose Connect app, users can adjust some audio settings like noise cancellation and perform firmware updates. This app can be used with wide range of Bose audio systems such as SoundSport Wireless, SoundSport Pulse Wireless, QuietControl 30, SoundLink Around-Ear WIreless II headphones, SoundLink Color II, SoundLink Revolve and SoundLink Revolve+.
Read More: Google, Samsung, LG, HTC, HMD, Foxconn, Others Sign Agreement to share software Patents
Zak found that the app maintains a record of all the songs and podcast he listened. This data is apparently sold to third-party companies like Segment.io, an analytics firm.
Zak's lawyer, Christopher Dore has said that people make use of headphones considering it as private, but the company has been providing user details to third parties which should not be shared. He added that generally users do not read the privacy agreements of the app, and there is no information available on collection of data in the privacy agreement of the Connect app,
Dore is a partner of Edelson PC, a company that specializes in filing lawsuit against tech firms for violating privacy of the users. Zak claims that the user information that is collected and sold by Bose can provide insight on the behavior of the customer as well as their religious and political views.
Bose whose annual sales is $3.5 billion has not responded yet on the lawsuit which mainly claims that the company is disregarding the privacy rights of the consumers. Zak wants Bose to stop collecting user data through the Connect app and he is also demanding $5 million in damages for customers of aforementioned Bose audio devices.

Hi Everyone
I haven't been diagnosed with BFS in fact no Dr has even mentioned It to me. I have been freaking out for about 6/8 weeks now and am lising any glimmer of the happy person I used to be before this all started. Of course I'm sure you can guess I have already convinced myself I have Als. I made the mistake of googling 24/7 and have read day after day consumed with the facts and how this dreaded disease usually presents but of course I'm dwelling on the few stories that weren't the norm progression of als.
My symptoms have been jumping aro'und but they first stared as feeling weak limbs a few times a week that went to a few times a day and was constant for about two weeks straight. I get terrible pain in my hands shoulders and back. The weak feeling is mostly in my hands and arms. I feel like Iam clumsy losing dexterity and have to grasp things a few times before I can actually grasp it. I sometimes drop things and the pain and stiffness is unnerving. This still comes and goes but it is settling for now in just my right hand. I have been getting twitches all over. Not a lot at once but ill have one in my arm then my thigh then my hynie and they just jump around like that through out the day.The last few days my legs feel weak and my knee gave out once or twice. I feel like my limbs are jelly at times. I also get feelings I can't explain....maybe like electric would feel running through your limbs. I wake up every half hour at night and when I try to get up limbs feel like they weigh 100 lbs each. I could go on for an hour about the weird sensations I've been getting.
I feel like I'm going crazy...crying all the time feeling sick to my stomach. I don't know what to do. Ivehad a bunch of bloodwork and I have been battling mono on and off for 8 months. A little anemia showed up as well but everything else normal. Clean spine and brain mris a good VERY short strenght test w a neuro. He hasn't even mentioned an Emg yet. I go back at the end of the month. In the mean time I probabally will end up in an
insane asylum for how crazy I feel I'm going. I don't really know what I'm looking for
here....some kind of comfort I suppose. I hope everyone is feeling good and having a more clear mind then mine. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this.

Flag of Raiatea - Image by Ivan Sache, 21 August 2005
See also:
Quoting the website of the Presidency of French Polynesia (page no longer online):
Raiatea is located in the southern part of the Leeward Islands. Its huge lagoon also incorporates the island of Tahaa.
Raiatea has an area of 238 square kilometers. That makes it the fourth largest island in French Polynesia in terms of area. Raiatea is shaped like an isosceles triangle with a base of 14 kilometers and a height of 20 kilometers. The island is an old former volcanic mass, the last lava having flowed some 2.5 million years ago. Raiatea's tallest point is in the south, where Mt. Tefatoaiti reaches an altitude of 1,017 meters. In the north there is the Temehani volcanic rock plateau, which rises to 792 meters and is decorated by historic peaks. Several big valleys cut deeply into the edges of this high island, creating some of the most favorable places for populations to settle. They include six bays. Alluvial fans - deposits of streams coming from a gorge upon a plain - have partially filled in the bays, offering flat land that helps compensate for the narrowness of the coastal plains.
Raiatea has the reputation of being the cradle of Polynesian civilizations. In ancient times, the island was known as Havai'i fanau'ra fenua, which means "Havai'i, the cradle". Furthermore, famous ethnologist Pearl Buck wrote that according to Polynesian mythology fragments of Havai'i broke off to create other islands, swimming like a fish to become the Windward Islands of Tahiti, Moorea, Maiao, Mehetia and Tetiaroa.
Raiatea also played the role of a religious center beginning in the 16th century. The large Taputapuatea marae was built at Opoa in the southeastern part of the island and was dedicated to Oro, the Polynesian god of war. The Oro cult later spread to the Windward Islands, resulting in the construction of maraes on Moorea and Tahiti. Unlike Tahiti, the "sacred" Raiatea has conserved many stone structures among which are the Tainuu and Taputapuatea international marae, where in ancient times priests came from Polynesian islands throughout the Pacific.
At the political level, Raiatea was traditionally divided into nine districts, with Opoa dominating two groups of four chiefdoms each. Originating from Opoa, the Tamatoa dynasty was linked to most of the other ruling families in the Society Islands, particularly the Tapoa and Pomare families. When Lt. James Cook became the first European to discover Raiatea in 1769, both Raiatea and Tahaa were ruled by King Puni of Bora Bora. But due to the frequent reversals that occurred during this period, the Tapoa and Tamatoa families succeeded each other as leaders of Raiatea and refused to let the island become a French Protectorate. In fact, Raiatea offered the greatest resistance to the French Protectorate in 1888. Chief Teraupo withdrew to Avera Valley, refusing all negotiation for many years. As leader of his men, he tried to oppose the progress of troops who came from Nouméa (New Caledonia), but he was taken prisoner on 16 February 1897 after a series of battles around Tevaitoa.
William Ellis and Teuira Henry reported the existence of two stories of floods, handed down orally in the Polynesian tradition. One flood occurred on Tahiti, the other on Raiatea. The story of the Raiatea flood gives a traditional version that makes an analogy with a biblical story, even though, according to missionaries, this version was widespread before their arrival. Ruahatu, god of the sea in Polynesian mythology, had a man's body with the tail of a swordfish. This god of the ocean, disturbed by a fisherman in his coral home, decided to cause the flooding of all the islands until Temehani was flooded. The only survivors were the fisherman, his friend, his wife and child and some animals that went to the Toa-Marama islet, the preferred place of the god of the sea. The sea rumbled, rising over the land and sweeping away everything, trees, houses, birds, animals and fish, as well as all humans who had not believed the fisherman's message. But like Noah of the Bible, the family was saved, along with a dog, a pig and a couple of chickens. The island of Raiatea was later repopulated little by little. The islanders offer as proof of what they say the presence of farere, coral and shells at the tops of their highest mountains.
The 1996 census reported a population of 10,063 persons on Raiatea. The islanders were divided among three districts, Uturoa (3,421), Taputapuatea (3,625) and Tumaraa (3,017). Farming and cattle raising (1,200 heads) have been particularly developed on the east coast. On the west side of the island, the lack of adequate plains hampered farming activities and prompted the people to turn their attention to the taking advantage of the ocean. In 1996, Raiatea had 51 self-employed fishermen who caught 210 tons of fish a year. Uturoa's marsh area was once used for breeding mussels, but the effort was later abandoned. Compared with Bora Bora, Raiatea's tourism is modest for an island with no beaches. Its airport experienced regularly traffic growth from 1990 onward, reaching 98,362 passengers in 1966.
Ivan Sache, 22 August 2005
The flag of Raiatea, horizontally divided white-red-white-red-white, was hoisted on 1 April 2010 in the port of Uturoa to celebrate the "return of the King", here the first mooring of the ferry King Tamatoa, operated by the Raromatia Ferry company (Les Nouvelles de Tahiti, 1 April 2010). Unfortunately, the company bankrupted and the service was stopped on 7 June 2010 after 19 journeys. This was the sixth failed attempt since 1994 to open a scheduled line between Tahiti and the Leeward Islands.
The flag is captioned "the Raromatai flag of the inhabitants of Raiatea", Raromatai being the Polynesian name of the Leeward Islands (Huahine, Raiatea, Tahaa and Bora Bora).
How the flag is used, if so, and perceived by the islanders is unknown to me.
According to the Flags of Paradise chart [brt96], this is the historical flag of the Kingdom of Raiatea, used in 1847-1880, before the establishment of the French Protectorate.
Ivan Sache, 31 December 2011
A photo credited to J. Agostini, portrays the Raiatea Royal family, with, in the background, Teraupo hoisting the Protectorate flag. Teraupo does not look amused, which is not surprising, since he was the main leader of the struggle for autonomy.
Teraupo (c. 1855- c. 1910, biography) revolted against the Protectorate imposed by France to Raiatea in 1880 and the subsequent annexation of the island to France in 1888. As the chief of the Avera District, he challenged the power of the last Tamatoa kings and of chiefs Tahitoe and Tavana, who had accepted the French rule. Supported by half of the local chiefs and by the British pastors, Teraupo was considered by the French administration as an English agent. Taraupo, withdrawn to Avera with 600 members of his clan, refused all negotiation with French envoys and raised the inhabitants of the neighboring districts of Tevaitoa and Vaitoare. The French rulers first played for time, hoping that support to Teraupo would vanish with time, to no avail. On 2 January 1897, the French Army attacked Avera; Taraupo, betrayed by the fire's smoke escaping from the cave where he hid, was captured on 16 February 1897, which ended the revolt. Deported to Nouméa (New Caledonia), Teraupo was repatriated to Raiatea in 1905, being since then considered as the hero of the Polynesian independence.
The flag reconstructed from the photo would be horizontally divided white-red-white-red-white with the French tricolore in canton, square and covering one half of the flag's hoist. The French tricolore is separated from the flag main's field by a white fimbriation of width 1/10th of the flag's hoist (or, equally, one half of the height of a stripe).
The Flags of Paradise chart [brt96], shows the flag with a rectangular French flag in canton.
On 16 March 1888, Governor Lacascade, on board of the Decrès cruiser, issued a Proclamation "placing the Raiatea-Tahaa, Huahine, Borabora and Dependencies islands under the full and entire sovereignty of France" (Journal des Établissements français de l'Océanie, 26 March 1888, French-Polynesian bilingial text).
Article 2.
The national flag of France should be the only flag hoisted there, as of today, in the presence of the civil and military authorities, of the indigenous civil servants and of the Army and Navy troops, which shall present the arms when the flag is raised.

Top chefs from various renowned Mandarin Oriental properties in Hong Kong, London, Paris, New York, San Francisco, Tokyo and Boston will each design menus with their own styles and characteristics. The menus will be offered to First Class passengers travelling on Cathay Pacific flights between Hong Kong and London, Paris, New York, San Francisco, Tokyo and Boston at different seasons throughout the course of 2015.
Cathay Pacific is now working with the top chefs from the Group's hotels worldwide to bring a local touch to each menu. The newly designed menus are all seasonally inspired, with each chef expressing their passion for the culinary culture of the destinations they represent. Each dish is unique but they all share a common quality: a classical culinary underpinning. Each menu will incorporate seasonal produce, prepared and cooked in both contemporary and traditional ways – from the wizardry of molecular gastronomy to the patience of low and slow cooking.
In the first wave of menus offered, winter dishes by Executive Chef Uwe Opocensky, from the Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, and Executive Chef and Culinary Director Thierry Marx, from the Mandarin Oriental, Paris, will be featured on flights from Hong Kong to London and Paris to Hong Kong, respectively, from 1 to 31 January.
In February, passengers travelling from Hong Kong to Paris and New York to Hong Kong will be able to enjoy a selection of dishes created by Executive Chef Uwe Opocensky and Executive Chef Christian Pratsch, from the Mandarin Oriental, New York, respectively.
Among the highlights of the first wave of menus is a full-bodied consommé with a specially prepared tea bag of dried flower petals and gold flake, created by Hong Kong's innovative Chef Uwe Opocensky. Paris-based Chef Thierry Marx, one of the most celebrated chefs in France, who excels at giving modern and classical French cuisine a twist, offers a traditional presse of chicken, mushrooms and foie gras, delicately infused with a hint of five spices. New York's Chef Christian Pratsch was inspired by his journey through the United States to create a soup of slow-roasted tomatoes with miniature grilled cheese sandwiches.

It was the type of day that smelled like country. The sun was warm, but it remained cool in the shadows. Garlands of white and green were being draped onto the ceremony backdrop, the candles between the succulent centerpieces were being lit, and in the big house across the street Lacie was preparing for one of the biggest days of her life.
John wore his jeans, boots and vest. He owns that southern charm and has a smile that makes you feel rewarded. He wanted to see his two girls before the ceremony where he'd hand them a gift and a heartfelt hug. It was a day of celebration, love, and family. Lacie lost her father to cancer months before the wedding, and the day reopened wounds that had just barely begun to heal. Lacie, John, their family and friends took several moments to remember him. Click HERE to see all the ways she honored him at their wedding. I observed Lacie put one foot infront of the other and take slow, easy, breaths to steady her rapid heart.
As John waited at the end of the aisle, and Lacie walked down the stairs with her mom there seemed to be a moment when everyone held their breath and swallowed the knot in their throats. Lacie took a few moments to remember her daddy and walked to the only man dad trusted to take care of his little girl. We all witnessed the connection, love and passion they share as John + Lacie held hand in hand and recited their vows. John, the "beard, backyard & beers" kinda guy was most revealing. His heart was overflowing with joy and happiness. At that moment, when she saw him look into her crystal blue eyes she knew he loved her even deeper than she believed.
John + Lacie entered the room and walk into their first dance to Randy Travis' Forever and Ever, Amen. The smell of BBQ soon filled the air, and I practically bolted the minute I heard dinner was being served. No women and children first, my stomach was a sinking ship and that plate of brisket was my lifeboat. The evening included a mother-daughter dance to Momma He's Crazy which made everyone erupt into laughter as Lacie sang the lyrics to her mother. After toasts, Lacie danced a song with her husband in memory of her father Randy. There was not a dry eye in the house. The rest was nothing but boot scootin' boogie.
John + Lacie, there aren't enough beautiful words to describe how grateful I am that you welcomed me into your group of friends. Your infectious laughter and contagious joyfulness is envied. It was an honor to photograph your wedding. You are two magnificent souls and I wish you only the very best.

1992 -
Below is the text of Mr Major's speech on the Conservative Vision, made in Shepton Mallet on Wednesday 1st April 1992. The speech was entitled "Building a New Britain".
Ladies and gentlemen, on Friday 10 April 1992 the work of the next government will begin. It will be a Conservative government or it will be a Labour government. There is no other choice. If you vote Conservative you will get a Conservative government. If you vote Labour you will get a Labour government. If you vote Liberal you will get a Labour Government. That is a message that every elector must understand.
Over sixteen months ago I started work on building the type of Britain in which I believe. You will decide whether I continue in that work -
Let me tell you about the Conservative government I want to lead. It is not the intention of the next Conservative government simply to safeguard the achievements of the eighties -
The aims of the new generation in the Conservative Party -
The ideas we stand for -
All over the world Socialism is discredited. It is fading in every part of Europe. And in Britain on 9 April we will see the red flag dying here. Let's get out there and help it on its way.
The New Britain
Many people are yet to make up their minds in this Election -
My job as Prime Minister in the 1990s will be to give millions more people a helping hand up the ladder in life -
I have spoken of the Open Door Society -
That's the kind of country I want to see.
I see a Britain freed from the scourge of inflation. Where rising prices no longer eat into savings and bring misery to those on fixed incomes. My target is stable prices. Is that the kind of Britain you want? Then come and join us. Where there is no levelling down, only levelling up. My aim is for parents to have the power to choose what is right for their child. Is that the kind of Britain you want? Then come and join us.
I see a Britain in which there is true equality of opportunity for all. Where every boy or girl, whatever their background, can expect an education that brings out their talents to the full. Where there is no levelling down, only levelling up. My aim is for parents to have the power to choose what is right for their child. Is that the kind of Britain you want? Then come and join us.
I see a Britain where every family has the opportunity to own and to improve their home. Where there is no threat of credit controls, no need to depend on the council. My aim is ownership for every family -
I see a Britain where every citizen has the freedom to keep the wealth they have built from a lifetime's work. Where there is no threat of penal taxation and no confiscation of a lifetime's savings. My aim is for everyone to have the chance to pass on what they have built up in life to their children. That's what people work for. That's what people care about. Is that the kind of Britain you want? Then come and join us.
I see a Britain where our government plays a confident role in the world, standing for what is right. Where we don't neglect our defences, and never give way on what is right for Britain. My aim is for Britain to be a byword -
I see a Britain where government continues to show a true responsibility for others. Where it plays its proper role in supporting those who cannot help themselves. Where we have a modern, expanding Health Service free at the point of use for all. Where we bring more help to our poorest pensioners. Where every citizen is free to walk the streets without fear of crime.
I see a Britain where the cost of living falls and the standard of living rises. Where we don't look to the State for answers, but to each other.
I believe that every person wants to have more say, have more choice, be the master in their own private corner of life. That is what in these last thirteen years we have given the people. I want a Britain in which people have the incentive to work harder and produce more. That is the way -
Is that the kind of Britain you want? Then come and join us. This is no time to be a 'don't know'. This is a time to fight for a positive future for our country.
Taxation: the great divide
Ladies and gentlemen, people ask why we contrast Labour's tax policies so often with our own. It is because here in this single issue is the great divide between the parties. We believe that people express themselves by their choices -
And when Governments or councils make those decisions for them, they are preventing people from living by their own values. Every pound left in the pay packet is a token of freedom. It offers choice. Every pound taken out of the pay packet takes away choice. In raising taxes by the record amount that they plan, Labour are not just taking away your income. They are taking away, more than ever before, the chance for ordinary people to live their life as they please. That's why Socialist policies are so wrong, ultimately so destructive. We must never, never, never let them come back to this country.
Labour: The Opposition
I warn you. Look beneath the surface of Labour's policies. You will see the cold hard truth staring at you. They haven't changed. They have not changed. They have not changed. Let no-
Socialism operates like a reverse philosopher's stone. It can change gold to base metal at a touch. Opportunity and enterprise into regulation and control. That would affect everyone. In a Labour Britain it wouldn't just be the gold bullion that they were shipping out the country, it would be the golden tapestry of British talent -
It's not just their policies for the future that give Labour's game away. It is what they have done, what they have said. As we struggled to change Britain for the better, they struggled to stop us changing Britain for the better. You can see why they call Labour the Opposition.
We have lowered income tax for everyone by eight pence in the pound; they opposed it. They voted against every tax cut we have introduced -
We gave people the right to buy council houses; they opposed it.
We sold loss-
We brought trade unions within the law, banned flying pickets and ended the closed shop; they opposed it.
We helped millions of young people to take out personal pensions of their own; they opposed it.
We wanted the people to be free, to have choice, to have power. To have the space to live their own lives as they wished -
Whatever we proposed, they opposed. It is their only political programme -
To every owner a warning
"Ladies and gentlemen, as this Election approaches one point is central to the decision that everyone should take. It is this. We believe in personal ownership in a way that no other party does. We believe that people have the right to own -
Let no-
I warn each of you. Just stop, listen, and think. Look at your children and ask yourself this. Dare you trust your home, your pension, your savings, your shares -
Going. Going. Gone. Is that the future you want? For the freest country in the world? Never.
Ladies and gentlemen, I hear Paddy's still round about. Sounds comfortable, doesn't it? But don't forget what he stands for. Policies that are close cousins to Labour's. A special tax on petrol. What would that do to large rural areas of our country? Swingeing cuts in defence -
Liberal policy would crucify rural areas. Cut back our defence industries. Impose new taxes. Whatever happened to real Liberal policies. These are Labour policies -
Beware Mr Ashdown. He is the doorkeeper to a Labour Britain. I warn you. Don't look at the man; look through the door. The most famous door in the world is Number 10 Downing Street. Don't let Mr Ashdown open it for Mr Kinnock.
Economic Recovery
A Labour Government would stop in its tracks the one thing for which the people of Britain are waiting -
But they should not blind us to the underlying changes which have taken place in the British economy over the last decade. There's a new spirit of enterprise -
We've been keeping strike records for a hundred years. Last year, the number of days lost was the lowest ever. Why? Because we've changed industrial relations law and we've changed industrial relations attitudes.
Britain has become a magnet for overseas investment. We have as much investment from Japan as the rest of the Community put together. It's low tax that did that. Low inflation. They're what brought investors here. Do you think they would all have come here under a Labour Government? Do you think the confidence the Conservative Government has built up would continue under Labour?
On top of all this, interest rates have come down. Britain's rate of inflation is now below Germany's -
But, after a generation of striving to reach that very goal, within two days, just two days, of our getting there, Labour's John Smith said he'd be happy to see inflation rise again. He dismisses our target for Britain -
Labour talk of recovery. But what Mr Smith is ready to add to inflation would add £2500 million to the costs of industry. And he dares to talk of a billion pound recovery package. Labour's inflation would destroy profits, destroy companies, destroy jobs.
What is more it now seems that Labour plan special payoffs to their big union friends. Public sector unions would be given pay increases one per cent above the going rate in private business. Whatever that rate may be? That is a recipe for higher public spending with no improvement in service. For wage spirals and for rising inflation. For the return of trade union muscle to the heart of public policy. In other words the same old Labour policies. It would be a disaster for Britain.
Ladies and gentlemen, the foundations for recovery are in place. Let business speak for itself. Fifteen times more businessmen would increase investment under the Conservatives than they would under Labour. In fact, under Labour one in four businessmen would cut investment.
I believe that under a Conservative Government the 1990s will usher in a new era for prosperity and for jobs. The once impossible are within reach:
Only one thing could stop it. The Labour Party -
Labour would turn recovery into slump.
I am not prepared to see that happen -
Ladies and gentlemen, we need a strong economy to sustain our spending on the National Health Service. Earlier this week I said I was taking the gloves off about the National Health Service. And I meant it. It is the national Health Service. It is not Labour's Health Service. Well, the gloves are staying off. Because I'm not prepared to see our Labour opponents run down the work that this great service performs.
The National Health Service has been in existence for 44 years. For 30 of those years we have had Conservative Governments. The Health Service has flourished and grown. We have cherished the National Health Service, built it, modernised it. We care for it and for those who it serves. And now we're reforming it -
They're working, our reforms, really working. We are now treating over a million more inpatient cases and two million outpatient cases a year than we did under Labour. And why? Because we have provided more money than ever before.
Hip replacements are up by a half. Heart, liver and heart and lung transplants have become a daily occurrence. And why? Because we have provided more money than ever before. More year after year after year than even the rashest Labour opposition ever dared promise.
I want you all to shout from the rooftops the miracles that our doctors, nurses, and hospitals have achieved.
And remember. The last Labour Government really did cut the Health Service. Really did cut hospital building. Really did cut nurses' pay. And pushed the waiting lists up to an all-
I tell you, ladies and gentlemen, their exploitation of the Health Service shows up the real face of Labour. Cynical. Desperate for power. The 'anything for office' syndrome. These are people ready even to exploit and distort the case of one sick child in order to blacken the image of one great service and all who work in it. Nothing matters to Labour except that it should 'serve their purpose'.
I give the people of Britain this promise. Any government I lead will make the National Health Service, ever better, ever stronger, ever more able to tackle the huge challenges of modern health care. It's not our Health Service. It's your Health Service, yours -
Ladies and gentlemen, there are three momentous issues which lie at the heart of this election -
Ten years ago this very day a dictator gave the order for the invasion of the Falklands. That act of aggression was triumphantly reversed by our armed forces. I do not think there is anyone alive who will not recall the emotions they felt as they watched those ships of the Royal Navy set sail for the South Atlantic. It was one of the boldest and most skilful expeditions ever to leave these shores. The victory they won came at heavy cost. We will never forget the courage and the sacrifice of those who gave their lives for their country, there in the South Atlantic. We will never forget. But we can give thanks for what they did. For they fought the fight that it seems must be fought by each generation -
But ten years on what do we hear from the Labour Party -
And what message did Labour send to those who went out nine years later to join the United Nations action against another dictator's unprovoked aggression. They wanted to leave those troops sitting there in the desert, waiting for sanctions to drive out Saddam Hussein. Either they would still have been in the desert today or Saddam Hussein would have been sitting in Saudi Arabia.
That is not how we see our armed forces. They deserve a better and a stronger lead. They were not easy times -
It is a great responsibility to lead a nation in time of war. It reinforced my passionate determination to preserve the peace in this dangerous world. But I never doubted that, whatever the challenge, our armed forces would be ready for it. And so they were. They did the job. They sent that barbarous dictator, licking his wounds, back to his lair, humiliated.
Ladies and gentlemen, the first duty of any Government is to safeguard the defence of the realm. You can be sure that a Conservative Government, this one, the next one, every one will discharge that duty. You can take our word for that. And if you take the word of the Liberals and Labour you will know that they will cut defence, that they will risk our country. Such a course would never be for us.
We will never take risks with our defence. One thing I learnt from the war with Iraq was the crucial importance of having the right equipment for our troops. We will make sure they get it. That's why we have ordered the new Challenger tank for the Army; the Merlin helicopter for the Navy; the new air defence missile for the RAF. Our armed forces must remain the best armed the best supported in the world. And I promise they will be.
The Liberals say that now the cold war is won we can hack back our armed forces to the bone -
And one other thing, ladies and gentlemen, for so long as dictators like the wicked man who rules Iraq are plotting to build a nuclear bomb, we will keep our independent nuclear deterrent. I say -
But I tell you who would. Labour would. They don't say, can't say, won't say what their attitude on Trident would be. Because they don't know.
First Labour say they will build it. Then they say they won't build it. They even say they might build it and send it floating round the world devoid of arms. What would they call it? HMS Spineless? HMS Witless? HMS Clueless?
Ladies and gentlemen, you simply can't trust Labour when it comes to defence. And since defence is about the most serious issue that any country has to face, you just can't trust Labour with power.
Ladies and gentlemen, this Party took Britain into Europe. It is where our future lies. I said I wanted us to be at the heart of Europe. And I meant it.
We need to complete that single market that is so vital for our industry -
We need to strengthen co-
And I believe we need to extend Europe -
That's what I want to see happen in Europe. That is my vision for Europe. But that vision doesn't mean we have to be uncritical about how Europe now is. When you're dealing with Europe you need to pitch in there fighting -
That's what Douglas Hurd and I did at Maastricht -
There are just three words in Labour's vocabulary for Europe -
Labour has been wrong on all the critical issues of defence and foreign policy in our time. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. I warn the people of Britain. Men who have been so wrong so often on so much would find it hard to break the habit of a lifetime.
Ladies and gentlemen, these great issues of our time call for a clear head and a steady hand. You need consistency. Conviction. Coherence. You need experience. You need judgement. The one thing you don't need is Labour.
The Union
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to turn to one of the greatest threats the United Kingdom has faced for generations. I don't think the British people have yet woken up to the danger that Labour and Liberal policies present. To create a new tax-
Nothing shows more clearly the irresponsibility of Labour and Liberals alike -
They will get a federal Europe taking powers away from Westminster. They will get a tax raising parliament in Scotland taking powers away from Westminster. And they will get federal assemblies throughout England and Wales taking powers away from Westminster. Is that what people want for the Westminster Parliament? To strip it of authority and influence. But that's what they will get if they vote Liberal or Labour. I warn the people.
Ladies and gentlemen, thirteen years ago the Labour Leader fought against devolution. If I had to use any label, he said, I would call myself a Unionist. Not the label I would use for him. Now he tells us -
Ladies and gentlemen, do words mean anything to this man? He's the chameleon of politics. Consistent only in his inconsistency. Wouldn't it make a nice change to find an issue on which he hadn't changed, for a change?
Never forget. In spite of a world recession we're on course for a better life, a more secure life. We've learnt what to avoid and what to strive for. We've learnt to protect the weak, to encourage the young, to care for the old, and to keep our cities clean and our country safe, safe from attack on our values and our principles from without and within.
Ladies and gentlemen, there are three great issues at the heart of this Election. Little debated, so far. But fundamental to the very fabric of our lives, about which I warn the people, warn them before it is too late. I speak the defence of our country, our place in Europe, the very survival of the United Kingdom. None of these would be safe in the hands of a Labour Government.
Labour and Liberals in office would give Scotland and Wales devolution without even a referendum. They have said so. And in Europe whatever Brussels asked for Brussels would get. That, too, is abundantly clear.
The breaking up of our United Kingdom and abject surrender to the most extreme demands of the European Commission, along with the defence of the realm, these things go to the very heart of our constitution. The future of our country takes precedence over every other consideration, even Party allegiance. On these things Labour is not to be trusted. I warn the people.
The Conservative case is not nourished by dogma. The Conservative case does not assert theories discarded by most of the civilised world. To be a modern Conservative is not to be against some of the people; it is to be for all the people.
Our standards and values are Britain's heritage. It is we who are the traditional builders of national recovery and renewal.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a critical, vital Election. None of us can afford to stay on the sidelines. To be a 'don't know' may well be enough at certain elections. Not this one. What is at stake is the future of Britain. From such a contest no-
I urge all Conservatives and those who are broadly in sympathy with us to talk to any who are still uncertain. Remind them what we Conservatives stand for and what we believe in. A country of real opportunity. A country with a head. And a country with a heart. Open their eyes to the threat that our opponents present to their lives. Warn the people. And turn the 'don't knows' into 'now I know.'
Tell them to vote for the team with experience. Vote for the team that will help recovery, not kill it. Vote for the team that will unite the country, not divide it. Vote for the team that will keep your family safe, not sorry. Vote for the team you can trust. Tell them those things -

CAIRO – A colleague of a leading investigative journalist and human rights advocate says he is facing accusations from Egypt's military prosecutor.
Lina Attalah, the chief editor of independent news website Mada Masr, says on Twitter that Hossam Bahgat told her over the phone that he has been moved to military prosecution following hours of interrogation by military intelligence Sunday. She says the accusations against Bahgat remain unclear.
Bahgat founded and directed the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, a top Egyptian rights organization. He was honored with a Human Rights Watch Alison Des Forges Award in 2011.
Bahgat has recently published a series of investigative journalism reports on Mada Masr.
Egypt's government has launched a sweeping crackdown on voices opposing the government, including the Muslim Brotherhood and secular and leftist pro-democracy activists.

Elizabeth E. Auger, DPM provides treatment for skin conditions affecting the foot and ankle. Skin conditions can be unsightly and cause embarrassment. In some cases, serious consequences can also result if skin conditions are left untreated. Patients with diabetes are at special risk, but anyone with a skin condition of the foot should consult with a podiatrist to get help treating the problem. Dr. Auger can offer a comprehensive approach to treatment for patients in Salt Lake City and surrounding areas who need a foot doctor to help with skin conditions.
What are Skin Conditions?
Many different kinds of skin conditions can affect the foot including:
- Allergic Contact Dermatitis: This condition occurs as a result of exposure to an allergen in shoes or boots, such as rubber accelerators or chromates that are used in tanning leather shoes.
- Athlete's Foot: Athlete's foot is a contagious fungal infection that you can develop if you come into contact with an infected surface or infected person. It can cause itchiness and cracked skin and can be difficult to get rid of without help from a foot doctor.
- Calluses: Calluses are a thickening of the skin caused by pressure or friction. They can become painful and require treatment. People with diabetes or low blood circulation should always seek treatment for calluses.
- Infections: Foot infections can impact the skin, the bones, and the bursa. Infections can become serious and can cause sepsis. Antibiotic or antifungal treatment is needed.
- Plantar Warts: Plantar warts are benign skin growths on the foot that are caused by the HPV virus. They are usually about the size of a pencil eraser, and can be removed through procedures such as laser removal off the wart.
- Xerosis: Xerosis is unnaturally dry skin of the feet that occurs when too much water and oil is lost.
Dr. Auger treats these conditions and other problems you may be experiencing with any part of your foot or ankle. You want your entire foot to be healthy, including the skin, so your mobility and comfort are not affected by any foot-health issues.
Symptoms of Skin Conditions
The symptoms of skin conditions can vary depending upon which specific condition is affecting you. You may have redness, itchiness, raised bumps, visible warts, throbbing, and other obvious symptoms of a skin problem. If infection or other complications develop, you may also experience substantial pain and mobility could even be impacted.
How Does Dr. Auger Treat Skin Conditions?
Treatment for a skin condition will vary, as each skin problem affecting the foot will need its own remedy. From changing your footwear to using topical creams or oral medications, there are many things you can do to improve the skin of your feet and to bolster the overall health of your feet. Dr. Auger will work with you in the development of a personalized treatment plan specific to meet your needs.
Contact Elizabeth E. Auger, DPM Today
If you live in Salt Lake City, West Jordan, Sandy, Utah or surrounding areas and you have a problem with the skin of your feet, call Dr. Auger today. You can make an appointment with a caring and knowledgeable foot doctor who will help you to clear up your problem and keep your feet healthy and safe.

Community , Charity, Sustainability & Green Policy
Low Mill is situated in the beautiful Dales village of Bainbridge. We were welcomed into the village on our arrival from London, so have, since moving wanted to give something back to our new community and the area in which we live.
2012: Sponsored 2 collection boxes on the village green for donations to the upkeep of the village green.
2013: Evening fundraiser for the village Millennium Fund. We held a packed wine and canapé event including a demonstration of the waterwheel. Raised over £600.00.
2014: Little Yellow Bikes. To celebrate the Tour de France passing through the village we started making yellow bikes to decorate the village green. We envisaged making 10 – 20 of them – the count is now at 450 and rising! We have also made 5' high letters spelling Bainbridge TDF 2014 and donated them to the village school to decorate for the race day. Proceeds from the bikes go to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and so far we have raised over £5200.00 and the village and the Dales are turned yellow.
2016: Wensleydale Flyer Bus – £6580.00 raised via Just Giving page and other donations to save local bus service.
2015 – 17 Hawes Youth Club. Closed in 2013 due to financial cuts the youth club re opened this year. Bainbridge artist Janet Leyland has allowed us to sell copies of her hand drawn map of Wensleydale. We sell these to guests for £5.00. All money goes to the youth club, this is an on going collection – so far we have raised £331.00.
At Low Mill we support various charities. All are close to our hearts. We ask guests to donate any (monetary) tips to these charity boxes. Any change found left in the rooms after guests have checked out or around the house is shared between the four. We thank all our guests for their donations. The charities we support and why are as follows:
The Blue Cross
We have had various pets over the years and fully appreciate the wonderful work the Blue Cross does for all animals and their owners. Before moving north I managed a private Veterinary Practice in West London and the support of our local branch of the Blue Cross was invaluable. We donate ½ of the £10.00 cost of every dog staying at Low Mill to the Blue Cross. At the beginning end of May 2017 current donations are £1005.00.
Alzheimer's Society
In memory of Neils parents Danny and May. May succumbed to Alzheimer's at 77 after a 17 year struggle with the disease. Danny died of Vascular Dementia at the age of 82 3 years later having spent 15 years of his life devotedly caring for May. Donation to date (May 2017) £432.00.
Macmillan Cancer Support
Sadly a disease that will affect most people in some way. Macmillan was the charity chosen for donations in memory of my Uncle Douglas who died of the disease aged 69. Donations to date (May 2017) £222.00.
Also an annual donation of one night's B & B in the Workshop and a 3 course meal for 2 to a silent auction at York Racecourse in aid of Macmillan.
Yorkshire Air Ambulance
A vital service for residents of and visitors to the Yorkshire Dales. Donations to date (May 2017) £5 835.00
Red Squirrels.
Sponsoring one months food, in coordination with the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority, for the red squirrels at Snaizeholme, Hawes on an annual basis since December 2014
Beating Blood Cancers.
A joiner working at Low Mill was diagnosed with lymphoma during the renovations. With his family he established the Leyburn branch which we are happy to support. Thankfully he remains in remission.
Donating a DB&B stay at Low Mill for auction 05 2014
Sponsoring a table at the Beating Blood Cancer ball, Leyburn 05 2015
Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust
An organisation that looks after the well being of the Yorkshire Dales. We pay for the planting of a native, broad leaf tree in the Dales annually. We also sell badges to guests, so far raising £40.00.
We always shop locally, and never at national supermarkets enabling us to reduce our food miles as much as we can. We buy organic where we can. All our meat comes from Hammonds butchers in the village and is raised on farms near Hawes. Our milk and cream comes from Askrigg 1 mile away. Butter is from the Wensleydale creamery in Hawes. Fish is from Whitby our nearest large fishing port. The majority of our fruit, vegetables and dry goods our purchased in Hawes our nearest town. Vegetables are supplied mainly from Lancashire. A list of all our suppliers is available on our website.
Our muesli and granola are homemade so we can buy the ingredients in bulk reducing packaging. Our bread is homemade, brown flour is supplied by Crakehall a nearby village and milled in a watermill.
We recycle pretty much everything including even used cooking oil. Food waste is composted and used for the garden.
We use environmentally friendly products whenever possible.
The building
All new appliances are A + rated.
Our aim when refurbishing was to get this drafty old stone building as energy efficient as we possibly could with the restrictions we had.
We were able to fit the top spec double glazing on every single window and insulate the outside walls internally with high spec modern insulation,we also got modern insulation in between the roof rafters and between all the floors from the basement up.
The boiler is an energy efficient condensing boiler.
We are now in the process of slowly changing our low voltage halogens to LEDs and fitting sensor lights to some of the public areas.
We appreciate that there's always much more to be done but continue to try and improve our sustainability efforts.

The health benefits from coffee are many. Here is a snippet from Wikipedia on the subject and the research is ongoing!
In women, coffee consumption significantly decreases all-cause mortality, apparently decreasing somewhat linearly to a relative risk of approximately 0.85 for those drinking 3 cups per day compared to those who consume no coffee, but the relative risk then remains almost the same for up to 6 cups per day, according to a large prospective cohort study in 1993.[4] In men, these beneficial effects were not as great, in fact with an increased risk for those drinking approximately one cup every other day compared to those drinking none, but yet having a significant trend towards less mortality for those who drink more than 2 cups per day compared to those who drink none.[4] Results were similar for decaffeinated coffee.[4] An inverse association between coffee consumption and total and cause-specific mortality was also found in a 2012 analysis of data from the National Institutes of Health–AARP Diet and Health Study.[2]
Some extra highlights from the article:
- Greater mental alertness
- Lower risk of various diseases (listed in Wikipedia article)
- Antioxident
- and the list goes on, check it out!
Green beans and weight loss:
Scientists have just reported striking new evidence that green, or unroasted, coffee beans can produce a substantial decrease in body weight in a relatively short period of time. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/03/120327134209.htm

This Easter 3438 people will be received into (will join) the Catholic Church in England and Wales. 39% of these people are not baptised, and the remaining 61% have already been baptised in another denomination but are now seeking full communion with the Catholic Church.
The number of Catholics is increasing worldwide, especially in Asia and Africa. In 2008 there were1.166 billion baptised Catholics worldwide, an increase of 19 million (up 1.7%).
Taking into account the increase in the world's population to 6.7 billion, there is a slight growth in the percentage of Catholics who make up the global population (from 17.33% to 17.40%).
During the past twelve months (Feb. '09 – Feb. '2010) 151,061 people have explored the website of the Catholic Enquiry Office which provides information for those wanting to know more about the Catholic Faith.

The net total expenditure on charitable activities by CSAN's members in 2008-9 was around £110 million. In the same year, an estimated 130,000 beneficiaries received social care services from CSAN's members provided to older people, children and families (including adoption and post-adoption services), vulnerable adults (including people with learning or physical disabilities or mental health problems) migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, the homeless and prisoners and their families. The majority received outreach and befriending services but also residential, nursing, respite and day care services and training, education, information and advice on a range of health and social care issues.

I've seen Pearl Up described in a couple different ways. Some have described it as a pink-leaning beige, some a pink-leaning white. To me, it's a straight-up light pink. I don't think it could ever be mistaken as a white, at least not on my skintone, and the same goes for beige. It just looks pink. Pearl Up is a jelly, so it's not super opaque. Meaning I had to do four coats to get it to look like this, and that was why it was a bad idea for me to fall asleep right after applying this. But Ben was watching The Simpsons, which I don't really love, and I was under like three blankets on the couch...and the next thing I knew Ben was standing over me telling me I had to get in bed. I knew my nails would dent. But anyway, for a jelly the formula wasn't bad. It's a very pretty, demure polish. The kind of polish that would enhance the look of your natural nail color at one or two coats, but that speaks for itself at three or four. Does this have a dupe? I don't doubt it. I'm sure there are Essie dupes. But SH Xtremes are so cheap that I think you'd be hard pressed to find a sheer pink that performs better at its price point. I do think this looked better on Rachel than it does on me--it really pops on her in a good way--but I still like it. So thanks, girl! Much appreciated.
Anyway, non-polish news: I got a new job! It's at the same institution--and actually the same-ish department--but it's a different job with different responsibilities and it pays a bit more. So I'm excited for something new. Sadly it's not full time, but hopefully after the new year begins I will have something else on the horizon to fill the rest of my time. Until then, I plan to be boring and married, fall asleep on the couch to The Simpsons, and to settle into my new role at work.
I have also lately found myself digging around my stash for brownish polishes. I think OPI How Great Is Your Dane? has kicked off some dormant desire in me to wear all the earth tones all the time. So if anyone has any suggestions for good brown polishes, let me know what they are in the comments. Because I am receptive. I hope everyone is doing well!

We are very proud to have played a part in furnishing Madonna's new gym, Hard Candy Fitness Toronto. You can check out some of the beautiful photos on Toronto Life and see our Dwell, Pod, and Pavilion chairs next to our marble barbell coffee and side tables , right under the larger-than-life Madonna portraits ;)
...So we have finally launched the new site and we love it. We hope you do too and it proves to be a helpful selling tool. Hopefully less confusion about which colours are which and what the items actually look like in those colours! If you have the time, peruse the site and give us your feedback; what you like, don't like, what is most helpful, any changes you'd like to see, please let us know as we value your opinion. And any glitches or mistakes, we want to fix those right away!
It also means we finally get to show you some of the new items that we have been stocking and selling the past few months but haven't had on the site. Our Tolix style stools and chairs have been doing amazingly well and I think you will find our price the most competitive around. We also have brought in the Ant and Series 7 chairs, which we call the Royal and SAS chairs. Available in eight colours (two new ones that we just received last week are Turf Green and Petrol Blue, email email@example.com for photos) and walnut and rosewood wood veneer, they are a perfect dining chair and may even rival our Sliver chair in popularity. We also have them in upholstered and armchair options and on counter and bar height bases.
We will also be launching all new colours for the Sliver chairs in mid-December. A new page for the binder is in printing now as well as pages for the SAS/Royal chairs and the V chairs (which we now stock in 9 colors/finishes).
And for all of you who were patiently waiting, the Flytrap ceiling lamps are back in stock in black. We also have the floor lamp available with a single shade and the wall sconce available with two arms. Photos to be up on the site soon, I hope!
New samples are also in production and we can't wait to launch them at TCHFM. Live inventory will go up on the site in early December after we finish our year end inventory and we can be sure that it is accurate. For now please call or email and we will get back to you about stock status right away.
Looking forward to your feedback!
The team at Pink and Brown

Grab a Smack Cloth and Face Your Enemies in Fanticide
October 11, 2012 by dracs
Alien Dungeon have published another preview of the new Fanticide rule book, this time showing off some of the strange and mysterious relics your warband can take to battle.
As you can see, relics in Fanticide aren't always the simple magical sword or ring. My favourite has to be the smack cloth. Imagine wreaking destruction with that on the field of battle. As Alessio Cavatore himself has said, FEAR THE SMACK CLOTH!
Do you guys have any favourites from this range of relics? Do these tempt you into giving Fanticide a try?

How to Manage and Run the Stand Throughout the Exhibition?
For every organized event, all activities have different levels of difficulty and numerous variations. Whatever the nature of the event, you can be sure that every detail is professionally planned and designed according to the hghest standards of safety.
In order to fulfill the requirements of time, cost and quality, a perosn must acquire a set of skills to manage and resolve problems that develop during the implementation of an event. Training and experience are necessary skills to hold a successful event. A project manager needs to work effectively as a group member to build a cooperative effort within the team. A project manager needs to work effectively as a group member to build a cooperative effort within the team. A project normally involves a lot of people who plays different roles. However, they all have the same objective of completing the project within time, cost and quality. Besides the aspects of client, product and facilities, on site logistics should be considered and becomes more complex with larger events. The flow of materials, people and communication become the most important areas of logistics.
In the opening day, the light of the first day experience may make a difference to the positioning of staff.
Labors always consume a significant portion of resources during an event. During the lead up time to an event, the subcontractors handle many of the elements of logistics. However, once the facilities are on site, it becomes the responsibility of the holder. Thus, each section worker needs to communicate and plan well. Fax machines, pagers, and radio assignment numbers, on sire locations, extension numbers and lines of responsibility must be clearly illustrated.
The location of the stand has the greatest impact on success. The size or layout of an exhibition stand could be poorly engineered and occasionally must be supplemented by an attachment or separate facility....

Baseball: No. 9 North Marion shut outs Mazama in play-in win
The Mazama Vikings desperately wanted to play the role of spoiler in Thursday's 4A baseball play-in game at North Marion High School. Unfortunately for them, they couldn't get past the Henry brothers.
Sophomores Griffin and Grant Henry combined to pitch a shutout in front of a home crowd, lifting the No. 9 Huskies to a 6-0 victory against the Vikings to advance to the first round of the 4A OSAA State Baseball Tournament.
North Marion (18-7, 11-4 Oregon West) took a 1-0 lead over Mazama (12-12, 7-8 Skyline) in the third inning when Grant Henry drove in junior Andy Schmitz on a double to left field. But the Huskies did most of their work in the fourth inning, plating five runners in a two-out rally that began on a walk drawn by senior Tanner Scanlan.
Noah Vachter hit a sacrifice fly to move Scanlan to second, followed by an out from Schmitz to put senior Dylan Doubrava at the plate with two outs. Doubrava reached base on an infield single resulting in a Mazama error, putting runners at the corners.
Sophomore Nic Iliyn loaded the bases on the next at-bat after getting beaned by starting pitcher Devon House. That prompted the Vikings to turn to their bullpin, but reliever Aiden Schram promptly came in and hit Grant Henry with a pitch, bringing home Scanlan to make it a 2-0 game.
Doubrava scampered home on a wild pitch by Schram to put the Huskies ahead 3-0, before junior Hunter Schrenk drove a pitch to left-center field, bringing in Iliyn and Grant Henry. Schrenk proceeded to score on a single up the middle of the field by Griffin Henry to bring the score to 6-0 before the Vikings were finally able to retire the side.
The two teams traded scoreless frames over the final two innings to finish the game, with North Marion starting pitcher Griffin Henry making way for Grant Henry to get the final two outs in the top of the seventh to secure the win.
Griffin Henry finished the game with six and one-third innings pitched, striking out nine and walking just one batter while giving up six hits. He also went 2-for-2 on offense, reaching base in all four attempts — twice by singles and twice by being hit by the pitcher.
Schrenk and Grant Henry each led the team with two RBIs.
The victory secured the Huskies a trip to Banks to face the No. 7 Braves (16-6, 12-3 Cowapa) in the first round of the state playoff tournament on Wednesday.
The two teams met early in the season, with the Braves taking a 6-2 win over the Huskies on March 20 at North Marion High School. Both clubs are on similar hot streaks entering the playoffs, with the Huskies winning nine of their past 10 games, while Banks has gone 8-2 in the same span.
The winner will advance to the quarterfinal round on Friday to face either No. 15 Junction City (17-9, 9-6 Sky-Em) or defending champion and No. 2-ranked Henley (20-6, 11-4 Skyline).

|Achievement Bounty 10-8-2010 (36) (985GS)
36 Achievements
985 Gamerscore
I'm really enjoying Enslaved quite a bit so far. A game clearly inspired by Prince of Persia, Tomb Raider, ICO, and whatever hack n slash game you want to throw in. The setting looks like something straight out of Final Fantasy. The interaction between Monkey (Main character) and the bitch that cannot drive worth a damn (Big breasted female character that we see in every game these days) is interesting to me thus far. There is one achievement that will be a pain in the buttocks and I'll probably end up skipping it myself. You have to collect all the tech points in the game. Not sure exactly how many there are, but it's easily 500+. Solid game all around.
I would say something about the Left 4 Dead 2 Sacrifice DLC, but I do not want to spend more time with this sentence than I did with that slim content. Damn it! I already did. Here's a more appropriate description that mimics its length. L4D2 DLC iz da suck.
