This stuff is amazing! It covers seamlessly. It doesn't bleed into fine lines. It isn't chalky and it stays on for the whole day! I also love how easily it blends into the skin and that it is not shimmery or too dewy. Unfortunately though they only seem to stock it in two to three shades max. I went for the lightest option (fair) at first and found it to be just a bit too light for me, even though I am really quite fair. I opted for the shade darker instead and it is perfect! I do still use the lighter one as a highlight and it works really well. Such a good product! Perfect! I wish I could say the same about their lipsticks, but I cannot. I tried one of their lippies in Bubblegum (no. 6). While the pastel shade was great oh so pretty, it bled into my lip creases terribly. This was corrected when I used a concealer on my lips first though. It also smelled like something from a little girls make-up case - like a mixture between My Little Ponies and Strawberry Shortcake. While this may sound good, it gave me a rocking headache! I am very fussy about smells.
NYX Matte lipsticks - $7.00 approx online from Beauty Joint
These lippies are fabulous! They are matte so no sparkle, shimmer or overly glossy finish. The matte formula, whilst still surprisingly moisturising also helps them to stay on for a very long time. I went out for cake and coffee and came home to find my lippy had not budged. And it does not smell! It has no odour at all! Very cool. These guys come in a huge range of vibrant shades. Some of my favourites are Temptress - a peachy pink nude that evokes 1960s women in high-wasted bikinis, Streetcred - a vibrant coral pink, and Indie Flick - a high power orange. Great colours and not stinky at all! I have to say they are actually better than Lime Crime's matte lipsticks which tend to have a bit of a stink to them.
Australis Velourlips - $15.00 approx from K-mart
I am in love with the Lime Crime lip velvets. The go on like a gloss and then dry matte. Then, they stay put for hours! Though I love the Lime Crime variety they are pricey. One lip velvet will set you back around $30, so at a half the price Velourlips by Australis are a pretty good runner up. The formula is a tad chalkier than Lime Crime, which can be unforgiving if you have very dry lips - like I did. Though this can be rectified by applying a tiny amount of lip balm to your lips before hand, and perhaps even exfoliate your lips first. The colours in the Velourlips range are amazing! Super bright and funky and the pastel colours actually appear pastel on your lips, though they do come out a little more chalky than say the deeper red colour. The smell is good too. It is a little more fragrant than I usually go for, in a bubble gum type scent, but actually quite pleasant.
This stuff is a must have in the shower! I love coconut oil. For years I used to swear by expensive body washes that would supposedly moisturise my skin, whilst also cleaning it with harsh sulphates. It didn't really make sense, but it smelled good so then it must be good right? Not so much. Fragrance is just as drying as soap itself. The real trick is to just soap the important bits with a fragrance free, sensitive skin soap then use an in shower oil on arms and legs. The best part about this is it heats up in the shower, penetrating deeper in to the skin. When you hop out of the shower all the excess wipes off onto the towel and you are left with dewy, soft skin - no need to moisturise! I also use my coconut oil as a hair treatment and smoothing serum. As a treatment I jam a whole lot into the ends of my hair, leave overnight and wash out in the morning. As a product, I take a small amount and rub it into my palms then smooth over the ends. This stuff is great and one jar lasts months!
Dove Beauty Bar - Unscented Extra Sensitive - $5.00 approx for a two bar pack
I have used this soap for years! It is the only soap that doesn't make my skin itch. It is great for kids cus it doesn't irritate their skin like some "natural" products have done to my boys in the past. One bar lasts ages and truth be told, I used this soap on my face for years and years and never experienced any dryness or irritation! This is an amazing and affordable multi purpose soap.
Baking Soda - $3.00 for a 400g pottle.
Baking soda is amazing. It is totally under rated in my opinion. I use baking soda for so many things that I have started buying bulk loads of it! I use it to scrub tough stains off the stove. I used it to scrub the sink and I also use it to wash my hair! It is the best. It makes my hair feel clean and fresh without making it feel dry and frizzy. Baking soda all the way! I'll never use real shampoo again!
Cider Vinegar - approx $4.00 for 100mls.
Also know to me as scalp conditioner. The baking soda removes the oil and build up from the hair and scalp and the vinegar helps to make the hair shine. If you're game you can also drink cider vinegar every moring in a cup of hot boiled water. It is meant to be very good for neutralising the bodies PH levels.
I dicovered this stuff when I had my kids. It is a basic baby powder but it contains zinc - which assists with the healing of wounds. Call me crazy but I am sure this stuff helps pimples clear up quicker! I have taken to dabbing some on when ever I see a zit or rashy thing pop up on me or my kids and pretty much every time Curash works like magic!
Lucas Pawpaw Ointment - $11.50 approx from Countdown.
Lucas Pawpaw is the shiz! It is the best lip balm you will ever find! It is also good for burns and funny ouchy spots. Oh and let's not forget it is absolutely fantastic for treating nappy rash too. I would not be without a tube of this in my hand bag!

ACT recognises the value of nutrition in education, particularly during a child's foundational years, and has been developing gardens at impoverished schools and crèches since 2010. Food insecurity in children leads to nutritional problems, including stunting, low body weight, lowered immunity and increased illness. Providing a needy school with a garden will assist with the necessary nourishment required to attain academic goals.
With funding provided by the Bel Foundation we are currently developing gardens at three Early Childhood Development Centres in the KwaJobe region, north of Mkhuze Game Reserve. The crèches are non-fee paying schools and so financial resources (for meals and educational materials) are limited. The gardens will supplement their daily feeding schemes, while also supporting the community outreach work of Project Rhino. At the moment, meals are predominantly starch based, consisting of bread and maize meal. The three crèches support a combined total of 167 children, aged 0 – 6 years.
We recently implemented the Umgeni and Hlabisa Rainwater Harvesting and Food Security Project; a large-scale food security initiative funded by the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund (now the National Lotteries Commission). Gardens will be established at 20 schools and 12 ECDs across KZN, together with training and mentorship for teachers and community members. The project is divided into two regions: Hlabisa (near the Hlulhluwe-iMolozi Park) and the uMgeni Municipality (including Howick, Mpophomeni, Nottingham Road regions). In addition to this, approximately 5,000 additional homestead permaculture gardens will be created and supported. In a strategic relationship with the Future Farmers Foundation Trust, over 70 young black aspirant farmers will receive accredited training in ACT's NQF Level 2 Agro Ecological Farming Practices course. ACT is now the single largest employer of Future Farmers in South Africa.
ACT permaculture teams also saw the development of 21 gardens in rural schools in the Richmond region, part of the Zakhe Outreach Project. The project included the installation of water tanks, erection of fences and the planting of fruit trees and seedlings. Lush harvests have already been seen in a number of schools. There is a strong focus on Conservation Agriculture principles and 21 trainees received training at the Dovehouse Institute. A number of local job opportunities have also been provided.
In 2010-2012, ACT implemented two Rainwater Harvesting and Food Tunnels projects in northern KwaZulu-Natal, which support 25 schools and 16 pre-schools; benefiting around 20 000 pupils each year. The schools were provided with rain water tanks, drip irrigation systems, vegetable shade houses, seedlings and indigenous fruit trees. Local community members were employed in tunnel construction teams, and agricultural students from Mangosuthu University of Technology, University of Zululand and the Owen Sithole College of Agriculture received one year in-service training, which assisted them to complete their studies and gain work experience. The agricultural students provided assistance to the local community members who were employed by the project.

After yesterday's atrocious post 40th over performance ,the Indian team has not only snatched the sobriquet of chokers from the South Africans but also laid strong claim to the tag of jokers.
The World cup is now at a pre quarter stage and there is a real possibility that team India will struggle to reach the Quarter Finals if their recent performances are any indicator.
India laboured to victories over supposed minnows Bangladesh, Ireland and Netherlands.Against stronger opposition like England it was unable to defend a score of 338 resulting in a tie and yesterday against S Africa the world's strongest batting line up collapsed from 267 for 1 wicket to 296 all out and subsequently lost the match by two wickets.
Apart from couple of scintillating performances from Tendulkar, Sehwag, Zaheer Khan and Yuvraj Singh the Indian team has looked very ordinary and pedestrian.
Leading these motley group of foot soldiers is their foot in the mouth skipper Dhoni who at every given opportunity publicly criticises all his team mates be it for their bowling, fielding or batting,quite forgetting the fact that a team is as good as its leader.And Dhoni has been found wanting in his twin role of a leader and a batsman-wicket keeper
It is this deficit of leadership that has seen India's performance lack consistency, ebbing and rising so alarmingly in this World Cup.
A mediocre spinner like Piyush Chawla is chosen and persisted while a proven T20 tweaker like Ashwin is consistently ignored.
While teams like England instantly flew in replacements for match winners like Kevin Peterson and Stuart Broad and Australia flew in Mike Hussey , India continues to carry stragglers like Nehra and Shreesanth both of whom are clearly unfit.
And instead of standing by his team after a difficult day on the field ,the Indian skipper these days goes out of his way to hurl post match criticism on his colleagues which is surely demoralising.
Before the start of this World cup,Indian skipper Dhoni and some key players had made grand statements about winning this World Cup for the Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar now playing in his record equalling sixth and most probably last World Cup.However their on field performances have completely belied this statement and it looks like the greatest cricketer of our time will retire without a World cup trophy to his name.

As many in Pennsylvania, and around the East Coast, know millions of people have been left to deal with the devastating effects of Hurricane Sandy. According to local insurance adjusters many properties in the area are completely destroyed. Homeowners and businesses alike will now begin to turn their attention to clean up and rebuilding efforts.
As the cleanup continues, many people may not realize the potential premises liability issues that could stem from this super storm. At this point, there are many hazardous property conditions in those areas affected by the storm. In fact, many of the buildings in the area are listed in severe condition. A building is in severe condition when it is either open to the elements or unsafe for occupation. While other buildings do not have as much damage, they are still affected. Many are listed as having minor to moderate damage. In total, some are estimating the total damage could cost $10 billion.
Much of this damage will be covered by insurance and the properties will eventually be fixed. However in the meantime, there is the possibility of people getting injured because of the dangerous property conditions existing on some Pennsylvania properties. Hidden holes, broken staircases and other hidden dangers have potential to cause serious injuries.
Property owners, including businesses, have the responsibility to keep their properties safe. When someone is injured because properties are not safe, those injured could be entitled to compensation. Furthermore, if cleanup efforts or repairs on a property is done negligently and someone is injured the property owner could also be liable.

FORT LEE, N.J. -- Ten members of a homeless support group were arrested after chaining themselves across the upper level of the NYC-bound George Washington Bridge, closing the span for about 15 minutes during Wednesday morning's rush.
Port Authority police Wednesday afternoon said all are charged with reckless endangerment and criminal trespassing.
Released without bail pending a court hearing:
- Christina Fox, 27, Oceanside, CA;
- Felix Cepeda, 35, Bronx;
- Diego Ibanez, 27, Brooklyn;
- Karl Kumodzi, 25, Brooklyn;
- Elana Gold, 24, Brooklyn;
- Claudia Palacios, 27, Brooklyn;
- Jeremy Weissman, 22, Jericho, NY;
- Virgilio Aran, 38, East Orange, NJ;
- Juan Romero, 25, Queens;
- Marco Abendano, 31, Bronx.
A Palisades Park man got out of his car and ripped down a banner that members of the group were holding.
"I was trying to get to work," Greg Sahagian told Daily Voice.
The group, identified as We Are Visible (and "Somos Visible"), calls itself "a peer network for the homeless community to help each other through online peer-to-peer subject."
"The purpose of this peer support group is not to help solve people's problems but to walk along wide them to help them solve their own," wrote Mark Horvath, the group's creator.
An unconfirmed report also claimed the group was championing the rights of immigrants.
"7AM Direct Action near Upperwest TODAY 10/26, several will be arrested," the group wrote in an email to The Gothamist .
"We are a Grassroots Autonomous Movement campaigning for the right of every member of our communities to be visible, to be able to take part in the decision making process that affect our communities in our 'democratic' system, and for the ability to determine our destinies," it wrote on Facebook.
"We are one with Mother Earth and with all oppressed people in the shadows. We are getting arrested to make our struggles, our pain and our POWER#Visible," the group added.
The eastbound span was reopened before 9 a.m. Delays lasted up to 90 minutes, the Port Authority's Joseph Pentangelo said.
The lower level remained open, he said.

A good PDA is a MUST for any serious business person. A PDA with on demand email/web is a must for many as well.
PC World reviews Blackberry's latest PDA and writes The newest member of the BlackBerry family (a quad-band phone hybrid with EDGE support) offers more PDA functionality than ever, and it retains all its core strengths as a mobile e-mail powerhouse. I got the chance to test a pre-production unit, and I doubt that the 8700c will convert Treo or Windows Mobile lovers. But corporate travelers tied to the BlackBerry platform might find the new functionality and form factor appealing–and like its predecessors, the 8700c remains a strong option for anyone who wants to type mail or messages on a handheld. Cingular plans to start selling the hybrid on November 21; it'll cost $300 with a two-year contract after mail-in rebate, or $450 for current Cingular subscribers.

Even the best skis can only live up to their full potential if the ski boots fit perfectly.
Our brands: Atomic, Fischer, Tecnica and Head
The steps to create the perfect ski boot:
1. Precise measurement and foot analysis
Every foot is different – therefore we take enough time for guidance and boot fitting towards your individual needs.
Your feet are measured and specifics such as instep, forefoot and heel width are considered. We detect potential pressure marks and problem areas in order to handle those beforehand.
2. Suitable inlays
Every footprint is unique! Individual boot inlays support your feet, provide comfort, ensure stability, enhance force transmission and guarantee a better blood flow.
3. Customized shell
The shell is customized according to your foot shape, skiing skills and comfort needs. Special boots such as Fischer Vaccuum Fit shoes are therefore thermo-formed to match your foot shape. A matchless fit can be achieved for performance and comfort gains. The method can be applied multiple times which is convenient if the shape of your foot changes therefore a 100% perfect fit is guaranteed.

Hum 111 Week 2 Assignment
To drill or not to drill is the question. Yes Barack Obama has promised us many things, but he isn't promising us anything that any other president hasn't promised us. The all promise us the world at our finger tips, a better life, and lower taxes, but how many times does that really happen? We all have hopes and dreams of what is going to go on in the Nation, but they do not always come true. With the topic at hand, we definitely would like lower gas prices, but they seem to keep rising. We all want prices to be lower on things, but not everyone is willing to pay the price to do so.
If we, as Americans, took the initiative to go green, then we all would be reaping the great repercussions of lower bills. When I say great I mean lower bills. I personally think we should hit home and start drilling here to give us Natives a little relief on money given the circumstances, but so many politicians will not allow that to happen. One in particular is George W. Bush. He has his own oil fields but still is not giving any relief to the American people.
I side with Obama when it comes to going green. We all may complain that it cost $12,000 to get solar panels on our roof, but we will be happy when we do not ever have an energy bill again. It might cost more to by a hybrid car, but think about how much we would save on gas. $22,000 and we could pay for an irrigation system to be put in our home that allowed us to reuse the rain water that fell on our home, and then we would have no water and sewage bill each month. This would be saving so much money each month.
Some people do not realize that the amount of money that can be saved by going green. On top of that, this money could be money that went back into the community. This would be able to get us out of our deficit and back in to good graces with our financials.
Not all people think like this, they just want to use up all of the last resources that we have, not...

Camino or bust…News, Psychology, Psychotherapy February 25, 2014 - 3:35 am No Comment
Tax, maintenance, bond payments, insomnia, constipation…really?! This is it?! This is what the pinnacle of human evolution has to offer me?! Incredible, we are capable of such exquisite expressions of potentiality and curiosity coupled with such mind numbing drudgery and pointless repetition. I haven't written for a while because quite frankly I've felt uninspired, a droll torpor has descended on me that is difficult to shake. It wears the heavy mantle of responsibility and it threatens to choke the very life blood from me. Many of my clients are choked by responsibility and its ever present familiar, guilt. Some ancient internal Calvinist fueled dictum appears to proclaim that God forbid you should 'shirk' your responsibilities, you will be devoured by the fires of guilt. Responsibility to what exactly? God? Country? Family? The company you work for? Where does responsibility to the Self come into the hierarchy, near the bottom? Wrangled below by guilt and self aggrandizement? To care for oneself has been mercilessly shackled to the core belief that it is selfish, that to martyr the self in service of the other is what "good" people do. What bollocks. The weary responsible (and I count myself amongst these fine suffering folk) are rarely inspired or enlivened by the crushing weight of the accumulated dross they are crucified to.
I am fighting for my life, for my freedom. I will not be enslaved indefinitely by insipid mediocrity. I will gather my thinning shekels and walk the Camino for a while in an effort to shake this psychic lethargy from my marrow. I'm not sure exactly how it's all going to come together, but it must, for when we have no hope, then surely the battle is lost.

More on the dysfunctional Army personnel system–it is actually called Human Resources, and you know you are screwed when they see you as a Resource to use and abuse and not a person.
What makes the promotion of operationally experienced soldiers troubling is not the fact that they are being promoted. What worries experts is that while the Army is downsizing, the officers with advanced degrees, internships with the National Security Council or other extraordinary experiences are getting bumped out for those who have served multiple tours.
Experts such as Barno and Nora Bensahel, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, say this practice doesn't bode well for a future Army that will need more cyber soldiers, people with strategic experience, with unusual leadership experiences and a wide array of cultural backgrounds. Basically, promotion boards are prioritizing people with skills from the wars the U.S. is trying to leave behind.
The Colonel interviewed must be dumber than dirt; the reasons the Army doesn't have a combat vehicle under development is because it has wasted time and effort chasing after the newest bright shiny object.
Since I was to be fair and balanced, the Navy has more problems with it's newest carrier, the Ford.
The movie Hacksaw Ridge opens this week. The hero of this story is a young Army medic who refuses to carry a rifle or pistol as it was against his religious beliefs–Seventh Day Adventists. His name Desmond Doss, who volunteer to serve in the Army in World War II and who was born in Lynchburg Virginia. Here is a short outtake from his Medal of Honor Citation.
On May 21, in a night attack on high ground near Shuri, he remained in exposed territory while the rest of his company took cover, fearlessly risking the chance that he would be mistaken for an infiltrating Japanese and giving aid to the injured until he was himself seriously wounded in the legs by the explosion of a grenade. Rather than call another aid man from cover, he cared for his own injuries and waited 5 hours before litter bearers reached him and started carrying him to cover. The trio was caught in an enemy tank attack and Pfc. Doss, seeing a more critically wounded man nearby, crawled off the litter; and directed the bearers to give their first attention to the other man. Awaiting the litter bearers' return, he was again struck, by a sniper bullet while being carried off the field by a comrade, this time suffering a compound fracture of one arm. With magnificent fortitude he bound a rifle stock to his shattered arm as a splint and then crawled 300 yards over rough terrain to the aid station. Through his outstanding bravery and unflinching determination in the face of desperately dangerous conditions Pfc. Doss saved the lives of many soldiers. His name became a symbol throughout the 77th Infantry Division for outstanding gallantry far above and beyond the call of duty.
If I find any more stray voltage I will add it later. As Looney Toones use to say, "That's All Folks."

About The RaceWhat it is, why we do it, and how to join.
Provincial Championship|Saturday, November 25th |Registration closes Wednesday, November 22nd
ValleyCross – Abbotsford | Sunday, November 26th | Registration closes 7:00 pm Saturday, November 25th
About The Race.
.Why cyclocross racing? Plain and simple: it's a ton of fun! Races are short – less than an hour – with riders navigating sometimes muddy terrain, slippery off-camber grass sections, jumping barriers and pushing themselves just hard enough to keep a smile on their face. If not racing, Pro riders can compete on any bike they might have in their shed – CX bike, mountain bike, fat bike or even that $300 Frankenbike – it doesn't matter. Bring it on!
Did we mention fun? Cyclocross races thrive on inclement weather conditions; the wetter, the muddier, the better! And talk about spectator-friendly, you can easily watch most of the race from one vantage point thanks to the tight course layout and varying terrain. With various "hand-ups" on course shenanigans, cheering or heckling and loads of cow bell, you can't help but get swept up in the cyclocross experience!
Neutral Service.
We'll have ample on-site mechanical support from the crew at Life Cycles Bike Shop.
Lapped Riders.
All lapped riders will finish on the same lap as the first place rider. If there are 45+ in a category, lapped riders will be pulled by the commissaire.
Call-ups will be based on Cycling BC Premier Series points, VCXC Series points, BC Interior Cross series and Cross on the Rocks series.
Podium and Awards.
All riders receiving awards are required to be present for the podium, and be in proper podium attire (clean cycling kit). Failure to do so can result in loss of prize or award.

While this post will have more to do with wildlife than water treatment, it is a topic relevant to Environmental Engineering and therefore is still significant in environmental consciousness. Recently, while traveling to Maine I learned about the history of the waterfront. Native Americans and settlers lived along the Piscataqua river waterfront that serves as a harbor to the Atlantic Ocean. It later became an important location in defending the US from submarine attacks. As we sailed farther from Maine and New Hampshire, the guide pointed out a stage 2 Sewage Treatment plant was built on the shore that releases water out using a schedule of high and low tides. He explained that it becomes an issue when the tides reverse, which happens every four hours. The treated sewage water then ends up where it started. He hoped and had been told that the plant is being upgraded to a stage 3 center. This simple guide explains the functions of the different stages. Continue reading "Illegal Seafoods"

A stomach ache once in awhile can be normal, but when you experience persistent abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or difficulty swallowing, your doctor may send you for an endoscopy.
Dr. Manny Alvarez, senior managing health editor of FoxNews.com, says that although this procedure may seem scary, it is very simple and safe.
An endoscopy is performed by a gastroenterologist using an endoscopea long, thin, flexible tube with a tiny camera attached to its end, which allows your doctor to see inside your stomach on a monitor.
If it sounds intimidating, not to worry—an IV is administered beforehand for pain medication and a sedative—to ensure you will be comfortable and won't feel a thing.
Once sedated, your doctor will gently insert the endoscope through your mouth and slowly move it down the esophagus.
After reaching your stomach, the doctor will be looking for a number of potential problems, including inflammation, infections, ulcers and tumors.
Your doctor may also want a tissue sample for further testing to distinguish between benign and cancerous cells, which can be collected with the endoscope.
It is also used to detect helicobacter pylori, the bacterium that may lead to painful ulcers.
Uncomplicated upper endoscopies should only take 10 to 20 minutes.
Afterward, your throat may be sore, and you may feel a bit bloated, but this is only temporary. But if these symptoms continue, make sure you call your doctor.

I am experiencing quite poor performance on fairly good mid-range pc. i am having about 45 fps with dips to 40 fps. (running on 1920x1080, no matter the graphical setting, meaning same performance on all settings)
PC specs: fx8320 4GHz, 16GB DDR3 RAM, rx 480 8gb, windows 10
Is the performance subject to improve?
I'm experiencing about 17 FPS on an AMD Radeon 8750M with 2 GB VRAM. Which sadly doesn't make the game very playable.
Hi guys,
How are you measuring your frame rates? I've tried lots of common hot-keys in game and couldn't activate a Unity FPS indicator. Thx for your help.
i just added the game to steam, and I am using the steam overlay fps counter.
We'd definitely expect much better performance on both those systems, although I would expect the 8750M to be towards the lower end of that. We'll definitely be taking a look at this. If you guys can post your logs that would be a good first step. Thanks!
Posted, sorry I didn´t do it in the first place.
Thanks! We'll take a look at this and do some more testing on AMD cards.
Also getting poor(ish) framerates, on a 1070 - will post more details when I can test later.
Yeah, I didn't expect it to run very well, but not as badly. Switching graphics quality to low got FPS up to about 20. I'm happy to run any experiments you might need.
(I used FRAPS to measure the FPS.)
Yeah, that sounds odd. If you can post logs, that might be a good start.
Thx for the Steam tip!
Unity's logging is generally the slowest thing happening. If you're suffering from the Occlusion Culling bug (see the Known Issues post), the game's going to be logging a load of stuff as a result. Especially if you're not running from an SSD, this can affect performance fairly drastically.
I'd be interested to see the content of your logfiles (and everyone else's) and full specs…!
The primary offender in my log seems to be this exception:
at (wrapper managed-to-native) UnityEngine.Component:get_gameObject ()
at C_ScopeOptics.StartUpdateCoroutine () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at (wrapper delegate-invoke) System.Action:invoke_void__this__ ()
at (wrapper delegate-invoke) System.Action:invoke_void__this__ ()
at vp_FPWeaponShooter.Fire () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at vp_FPWeaponShooter.TryFire () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at vp_FPWeaponShooter.Update () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
I assume that this is how the game gets choppy if playing for long enough - after the recent session the log file is almost 3MB.
Haven't tested with today's update yet - bought the game on 13th and played through over two days.
Overall performance on GeForce 970m is kind of weird - the game is incredibly choppy if ran at 1920x1080 resolution (even on lowest settings), but is almost perfectly fine if ran at 1280x720, one exception being heavy lag when firing the "continuous beam" type weapons (could use a "fewer shaders, please" kind of checkbox in settings?).
Regardless, the game is good fun. The length seems about right, general combat mechanics starting to feel slightly weary by the final few missions (which, due to picking a clockwise route, also happened to be the last few ones available).
Also I've been using sniper rifles (both "proper" and "open" scope variants) for the most of the game, but I'm still not sure what exactly the "steady aim" keybind does.
One of the biggest fps hits is the postprocessing effects, these are done per pixel across the whole screen which ends up as 20,736,00 for a 1080p res but only 921,600 for 1280x720. Even though the amount of geometry stays the same your card is having to do nearly 20x the work! if you remove or untick some of the visual fx settings in the gfx options that can help a bit too. (teh lens effects and high bloom for eg). We will look into the other log errors asap ta!
I have recently upgraded my PCs procesor from fx-8320 to i5 7600k and it have fixed all my performance problems. So it would seem taht the game s problem wasnt with the amd gpu but with slow procesor, just to let you know.
I played through the whole game with mostly a sniper rifle, and I almost never used the "hold robot breath" button. The rifle wave isn't very pronounced, and I found at the most common engagement distance with the reflex sight it wasn't needed. There's also no "gasping breath" sound (obv) but that meant that it was hard to tell when it takes effect and when it stops.
I used it a couple of times with the full scope, but I stopped choosing scopes when I found that most of the time the zoom was too great for most distances.
LordTeflonV: did you upgrade your memory/motherboard at the same time? My recent profiling suggests the main bottleneck is actually memory bus speed.
yes I did change cpu motherboard and rams

Visuals and text by Meghan Brandabur
In 1943 Domenico Reali appeared to be living the life of a normal 10-year-old in Cagli, attending school and playing with friends.
But there was one major difference. This Italian boy was also an active part of the resistance movement against the occupying Nazis and the local Fascists.
While most of his playmates went home at night, little Domenico might be helping his father shuttle ammunition and hide stranded American pilots.
On a recent summer afternoon, Domenico Reali, now 75 and a retired doctor, looked back on those years and told his story.
By 1943, Italy, which had been under the control of Fascist leader Benito Mussolini since the 1920s, was a partner with Hitler's Nazi armies fighting the Allies. Mussolini's followers wore black shirts to signify their allegiance to both him and to the Fascist party. The Fascist-Nazi groups that terrorized much of Italy throughout WWII were also referred to as the Fragetto.
Domenico Reali's adventures were due to the actions of his father, Marco Reali, an Italian politician, active in the Communist Party and the armed resistance against Mussolini's forces and the German Army.
"While [my father] refused to wear his black shirt and was thus ostracized by theFascist Party, he nonetheless maintained their respect as a good and decent man," explains Dr. Reali.
The Fragetto dealt harshly with members of the partisans as well as any of their supporters. One day, in retaliation for partisan activity, the Fragetto killed 35 men, women, and children from the area "for spor.t" The Fragetto then went looking for any confirmed partisans. Marco Reali watched as a selection of seven partisan men were dragged by cars to the river to be shot and killed and knew the Fragetto would soon come for him.
Domenico Reali spent the nights of his late childhood waiting for the inevitable visit from the Fragetto, and soon thereafter, they came. His mother stood shaking as he had to explain to the Fragetto his father was not in their home and they did not know where he had gone. However, they knew he had found refuge in Maiolo, northwest of Cagli. He was safe for the time being.
Later that year, Domenico helped his father save a downed American pilot and a Slavic prisoner of war.
The American pilot, who Domenico Reali remembers as Longino James from Atlanta, was brought to the partisans by a parish priest. For the following months both Domenico Reali and his father provided them with food, cigarettes, and company. At 10 years old, rather than spending his time at after-school sports, or playing outside, Domenico Reali reassured these two captives of future freedom and being reunited with their families. The American, James, anxiously awaited news of his unborn baby, and tension ran high for the men all living in fear. In early 1944 four partisans, his father included, took James and the Slavic prisoner to join the nearby army brigade.
That May his father, while moving ammo from under the roof of their home, was caught and taken prisoner by the Fragetto and held as a POW in Novafeltria, not far from Maiolo. Now at 11, it became Domenico Reali's daily task to not only visit his father in prison, but to crawl beneath his father's cell to communicate with him by pushing tiny pieces of paper through cracks in the floor. He was actively planning his father's escape from enemy prison when they were finally given a break. The prison commander, seeing the imminent approach of the Allies, released the inmates.
Due to his father's political practices, Domenico Reali spent much of his youth as an outsider. Constantly persecuted for his father's insubordinate attitude towards the Fragetto, he was not allowed privileges afforded those his age. He was not permitted to take summer vacations or partake in typical activities.
After the war, Domenico Reali continued to study at the university and earned his doctorate. Despite his father's political life, the son was never active in any party.
Coming to the end of his narrative, Dr. Reali Domenico's pale blue eyes suggest these memories are just a few of many. His forehead is speckled with sunspots and the wrinkles of his smile evoke the feeling that life has improved for him and his family.
"Justice and liberty are what I think are important," he says. "A group that fights for these is the group for me."

Isn't it pretty?? I love it. So, what's in the bin, you ask?
Alphabet Blocks (Dollar Zone)- stacking, lining up, spelling
Apple (Dollar Zone)- pretending
Leaves (Dollar Zone)- counting
Calculator (Dollar Zone)- pushing buttons, talking about numbers
Football pencils and erasers (Dollar Zone)- on and off with the erasers
Some letter magnets (Michael's dollar section)- letter recognition
Some number magnets (Walmart, I think. I already had the magnets on the fridge)- number recognition
Giant paper clips (Dollar Zone)- linking
Bus (Border's closing sale)- playing :)
Scissors (they were mine when I was little!)- cutting shredded paper
Acorns and pine cones (Dollar Zone)- counting
Dry erase board (Walmart- $2.47)- coloring
Foam shapes (Target dollar section)- colors and shapes
Zipper pencil case (Dollar Zone)- putting things in and out
Crayola dry erase crayons (Michaels- $4.99 I think)- coloring
I realized when Boogie accidentally drew on his face that I hadn't checked the dry erase marker to see if it was non-toxic. Since it didn't say, I put it away and took out the Crayola dry erase crayons, so those and the erasing mit that came with them) are now in the zipper pencil bag. I believe they were $5 at Michaels.
My philosophy with the sensory bins is that whatever I put in them that I already have stays in the bin until I change it. For example, we won't use the dry erase crayons for anything else while the back to school sensory bin is out. That way, the items in the sensory bin are special just for the time he is using it. When I change the sensory bin, some of the things will be available again (the crayons and dry erase board will go in the diaper bag, I think) and some of them will go into storage to wait for another sensory bin or project. The lovely thing about sensory bins is so many of the items are either things you already have, things you will use in homeschooling in general, or things you can reuse if you plan on doing sensory bins consistently.
Like with the rice bin, I put the blanket down on the floor (in the playroom this time), because he already sees that as a boundary for the contents of the bin. It worked beautifully. Even though he knew that some of the items usually belonged somewhere else, he played with them in the bin or on the blanket. The only reason he stopped playing with it was because Bun woke up and I had to feed him, so we put the sensory bin away. Boogie was VERY mad that it was time to clean up and he had been playing with it for 45 minutes! Success :)
Linking up to some of these great parties!

San Joaquin County is taking a breather.
San Joaquin County is taking a breather.
The county's dizzying population growth, much of it fueled by Bay Area transplants looking for more-affordable housing, has slowed considerably in the past two years.
New census figures show that in the first seven years of the decade, the county population ballooned by just over 19 percent, adding more than 107,000 residents.
But interestingly, most of that growth occurred from 2000 to 2005. In the past two years, the net increase was only about 13,300 people.
What happened is that home prices soared in the early part of the decade as Bay Area residents poured over the Altamont Pass and put pressure on the county's housing market. After a time, the prices here began to seem not so attractive, especially when you factor in the grueling daily commutes of the Bay Area's higher-paying jobs.
Added to that, the real estate market sputtered, then stalled, making selling a home in the Bay Area tougher.
"It was just not so attractive an economic option for the family," said David Keefe, an economics professor at University of the Pacific.
What might be bad news for home builders and commercial developers is good news for local government and school districts, which faced huge pressure for services and improved infrastructure during the population run-up.
One of the most glaring examples was the rapid development of homes in Spanos Park West, at Interstate 5 and Eight Mile Road, and its adjacent shopping center. Traffic was jammed for months at the intersection of the freeway and that east-west artery as the city struggled to upgrade the road to handle the sudden increase in traffic.
Slower population growth gives planners time to think through what could be coming and get those thoughts before the policymakers who must decide how to allocate the financial resources to handle the crush.
And despite the pause, the crush is coming. San Joaquin County is still the state's fifth-fastest growing county. In fact, the state Department of Finance forecasts that our population will reach about 740,000 in 2010 and 965,000 by 2020.
Clearly, handling that increase is going to take a lot of planning.

Hands down the best thing Jenny and I did in Laos was ride motorbikes. I had never ridden a motorbike prior to visiting this country and I jumped in at the deep end. Well, I shouldn't get too carried away, we rode 125cc semi manual motorbikes (known to some as scooters - but that doesn't seem nearly manly enough), but the trip we took went on some pretty hairy roads. So I guess "deep end" is a bit over the top.
The route we took is known as "The Loop" a vague name, but an appropriate one nonetheless. It's starts in Tha Khaek, a town on the eastern bank of the Mekong which looks over towards Thailand. There's not a great deal going on in the town. A lot of people seem to pass through here and stay over night while heading north from Si Phan Don (4000 Islands).
Tha Khaek:
We stayed at the Tha Khaek Travel Lodge. It's a hostel/guesthouse, not a hotel and you certainly wouldn't find Alan Partridge staying there. It's a common place for people to come and stay prior to doing the loop. The place was practically empty when we rolled up, but surely enough a group of 3 filthy European men turned up really late having just finished their adventure. They were still buzzing with excitement and gave us a good lowdown on the roads. One thing was for certain, some of it was going to be pretty shitty. The Travel Lodge is a good place to meet other people who are planning on heading the same way and this is where we added the finishing touches to our crew.
The bikes for rent at the Travel Lodge were very overpriced and we'd been given a heads up to mosey on down by the river to Wang Wang rentals. They were incredibly cheap, but the bikes were pretty decent. We checked them to see if they were up to the job and got them to fix anything that thought needed attention.
This is our fully assembled crew(from L to R): me, Kevin, Jenny and David - oh and some Asian baby that David acquired. And in case you were wondering, David does know what that gesture means in Britain.
We met Kevin on the local bus from Pakse to Tha Khaek. It was a wonderful glimpse into Lao life, a great way to experience a part of the culture (untimeliness and general chaos) which was fun at first but which turned out to be pretty horrific. I'll talk about that in another post, because there are way to many details for this. So we bonded through misery and discomfort and decided to ride the Loop together. We met David in the Travel Lodge the next day. He had hired a bike down in Pakse, sped around the Bolaven Plateau and made his way up to Tha Khaek. David seemed very reserved and calm, perhaps a little shy. This was soon to change.
This was my bike. At the time of snapping this picture I had never ridden a motorbike of any sort. I was a little bit nervous to say the least. In fact I thought I probably wouldn't make it out of town without an incident. I was wobbly as hell at first, but once we got out of the city the roads were quiet enough for me to get comfortable. Pretty soon I was zooming along the highway grinning ear to ear. Actually I think my mouth just hung open most of the time because my tongue went completely dry. It felt like I'd been drinking dust.
There are so many things to see on The Loop: caves, waterfalls, hot springs and other such marvels. In the beginning we were really excited to stop and look at them all, but after a while our enthusiasm waned as we weren't making much progress and we really just wanted to be riding our bikes.
The first cave we stopped at involved wading across a river. Below you can enjoy the spectacle of my milky white thighs tackling the currents. Nasty. I know.
The cave was full of buddhist statues. Really badly made ones at that. I love this cross eyed blue guy saluting (forgive my ignorance). They look like something from an Anti Hero Skateboards ad.
The views from the cave did little to distract from the pungent stench of bat shit. We got out of there sharp.
Sweat! The worst thing about getting off the bikes was the heat. As long as you keep riding you feel cool. The moment you stop you start to overheat and you start to feel like a wet rag.
A super sketchy foot bridge. There was no need to cross it, but why not?
The first day of driving was mostly flat on smooth tarmac. We were penned in all around by these huge karst mountains. It was difficult to keep my eyes on the road. It's slow progress when you keep stopping to take photos as well.
Lunch. A glorious but late lunch. "Noodle Soup" was ordered all round and we cranked up the spice. The thing about riding bikes is that it's so much fun you forget about eating. Four days later we would be sick of noodle soup. It's pretty much one of the only dishes we were capable of asking for. That and Laap.
Poncho time! Polka dot poncho!
In the late afternoon the roads headed up towards the sky. After a long time ascending I expected to reach a pass and be presented with a view down into another mountain valley but instead we reached a plateau with an enormous lake.
Goodbye tarmac roads. Hello dirt.
When I said the roads headed up to the sky I meant it. These gargantuan storm clouds loomed above us. The sun blasted out from behind them forming these strange rainbow edges. It was celestial! I've never seen anything like it before and doubt I will again. These photos do not do it any justice.
A model healthy village.
At the end of the day we rolled in to Tha Lang Village and stayed at the Sabadee Guesthouse on the edge of the lake. It was run by the cheeriest of proprietors, Thoun Thoun. There was a bunch of locals getting rowdy on the karaoke machine when we got there. They got us involved, so we butchered a few songs before heading outside and playing pétanque.
If you stay at the Sabadee Guesthouse you must get up and watch the sunrise over the lake. it's not just the sunrise that you get to see, but you can hear the village spring to life as more and more longboats start their journeys.
Day Two: Tha Lang to Laksao
The roads deteriorate severely after Tha Lang. It's about 60km or more of dirt, mud and rocks and parts of it are really steep. Don't expect to clock a fast time on this stretch. We were lucky as the previous day had been blisteringly hot so a lot of the huge puddles had dried out a little. They still posed an obstacle.
Just after posing for this stupid photo, I took quite a tumble. It was so dumb. I was taking a photo of Jenny (see below) and wheeled my bike backwards so I could get a better shot. I hadn't a clue how close I was to the edge of the road and I wheeled it backwards just a tad too far and rolled off down into a thorn bush in a ditch. Smashing work Alasdair.
Approaching Laksao was like riding into a frontier town. It felt like the Wild West...
...except full of Asians. Let's call it the Wild East.
We didn't want to eat any more noodle soup. It was the only thing that we seemed to be eating, so we decided to be more adventurous. We hit up a restaurant on the main street. Nobody spoke English, we didn't speak Lao, so we had a look at all the dishes on offer and tried a few of them out. Some of them were pretty good. There was one dish, which consisted of boiled eggs in a sweet cinnamon sauce that was up there on my top Asian dishes, but soon to follow were two of the worst dishes ever.
The first was a frog dish. Frog meat is fine, but diced frog meat is a pain in the arse to eat, all shards of tiny bones, pitiful scraps of meat and miniature frog hands poking out. You just have to try and crunch through it. It was cold too. I don't have a problem with cold meat, but when it is soggy it's no fun at all. However the worst factor was the overpowering fish paste. There was so much of the stuff I could taste little else.
But the pièce de resistance was this mystery dish below. It looked harmless. It looked inviting. Look at all those fresh herbs! Don't be fooled. It's a trap. What you are looking at is possibly the worst piece of cuisine I have ever consumed. It makes Korean hongeo (홍어) seem delightful. I'm not sure if it was the meat or the sauce or what that made it so bad, but it definitely smelled and tasted like something we are all very familiar with: feces. That's right. Shit. This dish tasted like shit. I know in Laos they use bile in cooking to add a bitter taste, but this was beyond bitter. I've eaten a lot of organs and intestines in my time but none resembled this. It was repulsive to the core. It left my fingers smelling like dirty dental floss. About a week later at a rest stop on the way north I looked at a menu in English that might offer a clue as to what we may have eaten. It read "Deer Meat salad with liquid feces from the intestine". I rest my case.
Barf! But the restaurant did have a pretty kitsch calendar clock to keep us entertained.
We took a few scenic detours for fun.
David failed to capture the goat.
Looking into the valley towards Ban Khoun Kham.
We took a detour up a mountain road and found this closed down mine, or is it the Dharma Initiative Laos Branch?
I couldn't resist taking this photo. I'd been watching these dogs copulating for while. They'd been taking it in turns. It's actually two female dogs and one male. The male is the white one in the middle. He'd been poking it around both of them but I'm guessing he was young because he didn't seem to know what the hell he was doing. He'd just be humping away but not really getting anywhere. I think the older female was getting a bit annoyed as he seemed to prefer the younger bitch. Perhaps that's why she's trying wreck his mojo. Lucky Pierre!
Cows everywhere in Laos. They're more dangerous than the road vehicles and potholes combined.
Namsanam Waterfalls:
At Ban Khoun Kham we hired a guide to take us up to Namsanam Waterfalls. We wanted to do it alone but we were promptly told that wouldn't be possible. That turned out to be true. It's a 3km hike up to the waterfall and about 2km of that is dense jungle and it would be easy to get lost. The best thing about having a guide was having him clear the massive cobwebs on front of us. I HATE SPIDERS. He missed this one though...
I'm not sure how big you might think this looks, but I can I assure you that it is the stuff nightmares are made from. This was the size of my outstretched hand. It was easily the biggest spider I've ever seen and it was dangling inches above our heads as slumped down and edged our way past it.
Our guide. I've totally forgotten his name
David zooms off towards Kong Lor past the rusty bridge and the Great Nipple Mountain.
Kong Lor Caves:
We stayed at Chantha House, the first place we found as we rolled into the village after dusk. It's a really nice, clean guesthouse with some good communal areas for eating, drinking and sharing stories. It's just a couple of minutes ride from the caves.
A little morning bromance.
"Oh, my bum bag and life jacket match? Whoops"
See that cave right there? That's where we were heading. The Kong Lor cave is 7.5 km long and is pitch black except for one small section where you get out of the boats to view a room full of stalactites and stalagmites. They hire headlamps there, but they are pretty old and dull. Jenny used a little LED headlamp of her own and it was much more powerful. I forgot to bring mine. Bah!
They had a wide array of engines to choose from. I'm not sure how many of them actually work.
Compare the headlamps and the dunces that sport them.
The engine failed in the boat that Kevin and David rode in. That might explain the pile of engines at the mouth of the cave!
The Kong Lor caves were spectacular. I loved every second of it. The river keeps winding through the mountain and we only saw one other boat with tourists on. The rest of them were locals who use the cave as a transport route through the mountain.
After the caves we headed back to Tha Khaek. The landscape was amazing and the rounds twisted for some time, but eventually we had to hit highway 13 that runs the length of the country.
If you're in Laos, do this trip. You will not regret it.

Age – 6+
This was my first foray into The Worst Witch series and although I thought it a little old fashioned, with the age-old popular themes of friendships and boarding school, and a continuing nemesis to defeat; I did enjoy the story and even the predictable 'everything is ok' at the end. Great for 6+ girls.

Lynda - Running a Profitable Business: Revenue Recognition
Size: 596MB | Duration: 1h 32m | Video: AVC (.mp4) 1280x720 30fps | Audio: AAC 48KHz 2ch
Genre: eLearning | Level: Appropriate for all | Language: English
Revenue recognition determines when a sale should be recorded: This month or next month? This year or next year? This seems like an easy question until you consider situations in which a company sells a package of goods and services for one joint price, aka multi-element transactions. But without recognizing revenue, a company can't hope to report any profit. Accordingly, company management is typically under great pressure to recognize revenue as soon as possible. Want to understand these concepts better? Join professors Jim and Kay Stice as they introduce the theory, practice, and implications of revenue recognition. Together they demonstrate how this seemingly innocent accounting topic can turn a reported profit into a reported loss, sometimes with multibillion dollar implications for company values. Learn more about basic accounting practices in Jim and Kay's Accounting Fundamentals course.
Topics include:
* Timing revenue recognition
* Understanding multi-element transactions
* Valuing companies
* Reviewing the great revenue frauds and scandals of history

The good and bad of getting distracted
The best thing about taking part in creative challenges is the raw flow of inspiration that often happens.
At the moment, it's the worst too!
I've been so full of ideas in the last week thanks to the ICAD challenge (decorate an index card a day), that I'm finding it even harder to keep going with the challenge itself..
Painting on thick, absorbent watercolour paper has become a passion for me since March (thanks to XXX at @30daysofpaperplay), so I've been using it to create lots of luscious backgrounds for my characters since then.
And this week I became even more distracted. I began painting characters on the paper, instead of creating for ICAD.
There's been a stream of nothing-much background-type cards and I haven't shared any of them online.
While I'm loving the results of my distraction and the creative flow I have going, it's going to take some real work to get my focus back onto the challenge I've set for myself for the months of June and July. (wish me luck!)
– And if you're taking part in the 2017 Index Card a Day challenge, please leave me a comment to let me know how you're managing to stay so focused!

Symptom Checker
Step 4: Read and complete the decision guide to learn more about your symptoms.
The definitive diagnosis of gout is usually made when your doctor takes a sample of joint fluid and sees gout (urate) crystals under the microscope. (Click here if you'd like more information about how joint fluid is obtained; then return here to continue). The diagnosis does not absolutely require a sample of joint fluid, however. Sometimes, the diagnosis can be made based on your symptoms alone. For example, if you have repeated episodes of severe first toe pain and swelling that get better over days, it is very likely that you have gout. You cannot make the diagnosis of gout from a blood test, even though most persons with gout have a high blood uric acid level. Other ways to make the diagnosis include x-rays or microscopic analysis of a lump of crystals (called tophi), which may complicate more severe forms of the condition.
Click on the appropriate link below to learn more about how the severity of gout is assessed, to learn more about how your particular symptoms might be treated, or to quit.
I'd like to learn more about my own specific situation.

Table of Contents
This Thesis will provide an overview of the controversial sections of the USA Patriot Act as it relates to the First Amendment, Fifth Amendment, Sixth Amendment and Eighth Amendments of the Constitution. In addition this Thesis will summarize the Controversial sections of the Military Authorization Act which goes into effect May, 3 2012. Both Acts appear to violate many of the basic principles that have been articulated in the U.S. Constitution, particularly within the Bill of Rights. In the wake of the worst terrorist attacks in U.S. history on September 11, 2001, just six weeks later with little Congressional resistance or analysis; the U.S. Congress passed into law the USA Patriot Act. The bill passed 98-1 in the United States Senate, and 356-66 in the United States House of Representatives; Senator Russ Feingold cast the Senate's lone dissenting vote. President George W. Bush signed the bill into law on October 26, 2001. Assistant attorney general Viet D. Dinh was the chief architect of the act. The Patriot Act titled "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism" granted an unprecedented and vast power to federal investigative services, which greatly undermines the civil liberties and constitutional freedom of the American people. Defining Terrorism
The Act created increased surveillance powers for law enforcement that does not only focus on terrorism but also applies to domestic and international investigations. The definition of terrorism is separated into two categories of terrorism within the context of the USA Patriot Act, international terrorism and domestic terrorism. International terrorism and domestic terrorism are defined as activities that involve violent acts to human life that are a violation of the United States or any States criminal law, acts that appear to be intended to intimidate or coerce a population, to influence government by coercion, or to affect government by kidnapping, mass destruction, or assassination. However, international terrorism must take place primarily outside of the United States jurisdiction and domestic terrorism must take place within the United States jurisdiction. `The main objective of the Patriot Act is "to deter and punish terrorist acts in the U.S. and around the world, to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools, and for other purposes. Despite this purpose, the Act represents both good and bad points with respect to fighting terrorism and negative consequences on the civil liberties of U.S. citizens. For the most part, it appears as though the USA Patriot Act appears to threaten the liberties of the American people. The hastily passed Patriot Act does have provisions and measures that help the U.S. Government expand its surveillance of suspected...
