RDR: Undead Nightmare – review
Zombies, mythical creatures, paradoxically grotesque situations and exceptional ending. The above sentence describes the newest DLC to Red Dead Redemption titled Undead Nightmare. This review aims to cover the story, some new items and weapons, and all of the changes in comparison with the basic version of RDR. In terms of graphics, sound and gameplay there is no difference, so I do not describe these aspects, but if you want to read about them read my Red Dead Redemption review.
I shall start from the plot which does not belong to the official canon,but represents an outstanding quality. We have a widespread plague of zombies, the return of John Marston as the main character and most of the supporting, charismatic characters (not always fully alive) have also returned. If you don't care for some spoilers, you will fine a description of the beginning of the story at the end of this review. The main plot alone provides about four hours of fun.
New weapons, such as the Blunderbuss (shotgun loaded with the remnants of undead bodies), torch, holy water and exploding lure for zombies were added. As well as four horses of the Apocalypse (famine, plague, war and death) that have special abilities. Animals were turned into zombie versions and creatures like a unicorn or the Sasquatch (with a sad story related to it) can be found. In addition some of the items can be made through the inventory as soon as we there is the right amount of ingredients. About the new outfits, treasures, side missions, I will say only that they are present and are doing well.
With regard to the gameplay – it is rather hard to die. Escape from opponents is as simple as that. Yes, there are different kind of undead (including one very fast) but with a little help of the Dead Eye system there is no problem to shoot straight into the skull of a most of the enemies. The key to success is to avoid being overrun by opponents. The game map is the same as in the main game, but cities are boarded up and defended by the last living groups of people. For help in defending they award you with ammo, which is the most valuable item because stores do not work, and there are tons of zombies to kill.
Multiplayer in this DLC allows you to play, for example, the Undead Overrun mode which relies on the joint fight against waves of incoming zombies. As most of similar modes known from other games, the Undead Overrun mode is very addictive. They also added some new characters to choose from, as well as new titles, trophies and achievements.
Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare is a 10 out of 10. It is an ideally shaped DLC that should be treated as a model to follow. A full-fledged, albeit grotesque story, great multiplayer mode and a bunch of new items, weapons, and things to do.

In 2008 I wandered into a yoga class at my local gym and found an amazing stillness that has captivated me ever since. I believe yoga can help us connect authentically with ourselves and others, help us heal our bodies and minds, and help us find that sweet spot of balance in our lives. Yoga is one of the greatest joys, challenges, and teachers in my life and I will be a lifelong student and practitioner.
I was privileged to complete my sattva yoga teacher training (RYT-200) with Rameen Peyrow, yin yoga teacher training with Carly Forest and Learn to Teach Meditation training with Mandy Trapp. I continue to learn from the many amazing teachers (yoga and writing and life teachers) who have shared their wisdom with me, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to walk this path of yoga with others who are on their journey.
You can find me at Lahari Yoga in St. Albert where I teach Sattva, Yin, Restorative, Soul Yoga, and workshops.

Man's inclination to decorate his belongings has always been one of the earliest signs of civilisation. Art had its beginning in the lines indented in clay, perhaps, or hollowed in the wood of family utensils; after that came crude colouring and drawing.
Among the first serious efforts to draw were the Egyptian square and pointed things, animals and men. The most that artists of that day succeeded in doing was to preserve the fashions of the time. Their drawings tell us that men wore their beards in bags. They show us, also, many peculiar head-dresses and strange agricultural implements. Artists of that day put down what they saw, and they saw with an untrained eye and made the record with an untrained hand; but they did not put in false details for the sake of glorifying the subject. One can distinguish a man from a mountain in their work, but the arms and legs embroidered upon Mathilde's tapestry, or the figures representing family history on an Oriental rug, are quite as correct in drawing and as little of a puzzle. As men became more intelligent, hence spiritualised, they began to express themselves in ideal ways; to glorify the commonplace; and thus they passed from Egyptian geometry to gracious lines and beautiful colouring.
Indian pottery was the first development of art in America and it led to the working of metals, followed by drawing and portraiture. Among the Americans, as soon as that term ceased to mean Indians, art took a most distracting turn. Europe was old in pictures, great and beautiful, when America was worshipping at the shrine of the chromo; but the chromo served a good turn, bad as it was. It was a link between the black and white of the admirable wood-cut and the true colour picture.
Some of the Colonists brought over here the portraits of their ancestors, but those paintings could not be considered "American" art, nor were those early settlers Americans; but the generation that followed gave to the world Benjamin West. He left his Mother Country for England, where he found a knighthood and honours of every kind awaiting him.
The earliest artists of America had to go away to do their work, because there was no place here for any men but those engaged in clearing land, planting corn, and fighting Indians. Sir Benjamin West was President of the Royal Academy while America was still revelling in chromos. The artists who remained chose such objects as Davy Crockett in the trackless forest, or made pictures of the Continental Congress.

Station residents gathered inside the Matthew C. Perry Elementary School cafeteria here, May 24, 2013, to celebrate two special occasions. The progression of the station's girls scouts during their bridging ceremony and to congratulate the scouts on their effort and achievement of personally making care packages for new and expecting mothers, all of which were received by Navy Capt. Sandor Niemann, Robert M. Casey Medical and Dental Health Clinic acting officer-incharge, and Lt. Beverly Torres, Branch Health Clinic family practice department head.
"We made about 500 care packages and inside the care packages are things a new or pregnant mother would need, such as diapers ... a toothbrush with toothpaste and sanitary items," said Paige Pippin, M. C. Perry elementary school student.
Pippin mentioned her desire to find even more ways to help not only the local community, but also everyone she could.
"Just getting to help people and getting to support the community is what I really like about girl scouts," said Pippin.
Pippin also took the time to thank the leader of her Girl Scout troop, who made such a donation possible.
"I want to thank my troop leader, (Naomi Ferral, Girl Scout Troop 30 troop leader), she has put in so many hours for us," said Pippin. "She has been planning meetings for us to sew and she's just a wonderful person and I really want to thank her."
The packages, retrieved by the BHC leaders, will provide families with a feeling of comfort during the trying times of child birth, a comfort the BHC is happy to supply.
"We're here today to accept some new mom-care kits that the Girl Scouts made," said Niemann." It's fantastic that the Girl Scouts have spent so much time and energy to make the new mom care kits because it's nice when you are away from to get something that's homemade with love that has something you may need, that you might have forgotten in the stress of having a baby or getting to the hospital in time."
Neimann continued to talk about his approval and happiness on accepting such useful gifts.
"I think the scouts took away a sense of how much good they can do for their community," said Neimann. "What might seem to be small things, if they work together, can make a world of difference to a new mom and their family. I'd like to say thank them on behalf of the clinic, the new moms and the moms-to-be. This goes a long way to making things better for them. This is a touch of caring they will remember for a long time to come."

The Navajo Reservation, the largest in the country, sprawls across the upper northeast corner of Arizona and into parts of New Mexico and Utah. At 27,000 square miles, it is approximately the size of the state of West Virginia; in fact, it is larger than 10 states. Today the tribe has a population of about 290,000, making it the largest Native American nation in North America, with nearly 75% of Navajos living on the reservation. The Colorado River forms 76 miles of the Reservation's western border, which stretches from the mouth of the Little Colorado River to the Glen Canyon Dam. The Reservation is located on the Colorado Plateau and contains a great deal of ecological diversity. The land is full of deserts, grasslands, forests, mountains, plateaus, mesas, and canyons that include a wide range of elevations and climates.
Though Navajo stories tie them to the lands of the Colorado Plateau from time immemorial, archeologists believe they were relative newcomers to the Southwest, arriving sometime between 1000 and 1500 A.D. The Navajos were primarily hunter-gatherers, but began changing into a more sedentary life after they learned agricultural techniques from their Puebloan neighbors. The Puebloans also influenced Navajo religion, arts and crafts, and social conventions. Around the beginning of the 18th century, the Navajos once again adapted themselves to become avid livestock herders with the influx of Spanish domesticated animals. They also gained a reputation as fearsome and aggressive raiders.

In 1863 the U.S. Army sent Col. Kit Carson into Navajo land to force the Navajos away from their homeland to Bosque Redondo on the Pecos River in New Mexico. There they lived under Army guard at Fort Sumner. Many sought refuge in Canyon de Chelly, but in the end the Army's destruction of their crops and livestock and the constant war waged against them forced the tribe into surrender. They were force-marched hundreds of miles in the "Long Walk." By the end of 1864, about 75% of the tribe had arrived at Bosque Redondo, with the rest fleeing westward and living in small groups or among friendly neighbors. Although a miserable experience for the Navajos, their time at Bosque Redondo helped to solidify their tribal unity and ended their history of raiding.
Four years later, the Navajos and the American government signed the Treaty of 1868, which granted the people a reservation and released them from Bosque Redondo, allowing them to return to their homelands to the west. Over the next several years, the Navajos managed to add to their land base even as other Native American tribes were steadily losing theirs. The Navajo population grew rapidly, and much of the land they gained came from what had been Hopi reservation land. As the Navajos quadrupled the size of their reservation through a series of executive orders and Congressional acts, they heightened conflicts with the Hopis. By 1934 the Navajo Nation encircled the Hopi reservation. This expansion brought the Navajo into an long-running conflict with the Hopi (read more about the Navajo-Hopi land dispute below).
Oil was discovered on the Navajo Reservation in the early 1920s. The Navajo Tribal Council was established in 1923, primarily to deal with oil and mineral companies that wanted to lease Navajo land, but also to administer timber resources and develop a water supply for their livestock. The reservation was so large that this council was not effective at first, and in 1927 it divided into smaller local chapters that reported to the council. In 1969, the tribal council passed a resolution officially establishing the Navajo Nation.
When Kit Carson came to remove the Navajo to Bosque Redondo in the mid 1860s, many sought refuge in Canyon de Chelly. Though some were able to escape and live in hiding for the next several years, most were captured and forced to leave their homelands. Four hard years later they returned, and today continue to inhabit the canyon.

In the 1930s, the federal government forced the Navajo to reduce their livestock because of concerns about overgrazing and erosion. This caused a massive disruption in the Navajo economy and angered many tribal members. Deep resentment still lingers today.
After World War II, companies became even more interested in the large oil and gas fields on the reservation, and revenues from their leases were reinvested in the reservation. In the 1960s coal, helium, and uranium mining companies set up operations on the reservation, further enriching the tribe, but also bringing environmental problems such as air pollution, radiation poisoning, and depletion of the groundwater table. Many Navajos are also angry that most revenue from resource development on the reservation goes to U.S. corporations instead of Navajo companies and communities.
The US government also threatened the environment of the Navajo Reservation. As early as the 1940s, the Bureau of Reclamation put forth proposals to build a dam at Marble Canyon on the western boundary of the Navajo Reservation. Though it would have flooded reservation lands, the Navajo were not brought into discussions about the proposals. Activists protested this dam, and in 1969 President Lyndon Johnson created Marble Canyon National Monument to protect the area. This monument was later absorbed into Grand Canyon National Park by Congress's 1975 Grand Canyon National Park Enlargement Act.
However, this act led to new tensions between the National Park Service and the Navajo. The NPS argues that the boundary of the reservation is along the South Rim (despite a 1979 Colorado River Management Plan which allows Navajos to continue to use and occupy lands below the rim), while the Navajos argue that it reaches all the way to the Colorado River. The Navajos are interested in developing canyon-related tourism, but often the tribe and the NPS do not see eye-to-eye on the "appropriate" use of these lands.
The Navajos have long raised sheep to provide them with wool to weave blankets and for meat. Despite a forced stock reduction in the 1930s that caused a great deal of controversy, the Navajos maintain their identity as sheep ranchers into the present day.

Tourism has become an important part of the Navajo economy and is continuing to expand. Visitors can attend a number of cultural events on the reservation, such as song and dance contests and intertribal powwows. The reservation contains many sites for historic, archeological, and environmental enthusiasts, such as Canyon de Chelly National Monument, Hubbell Trading Post, and Monument Valley. In fact, Monument Valley, which provided the scenic backdrop for many historic western movies, has been run as a tribal park since 1960. Many Navajos operate tour companies to serve visitors to their reservation who come from all over the world.
The Navajo world view values continuous growth and renewal, and it is this spirit that has helped their nation survive and thrive over many centuries and provides hope for a bright future.

The Navajo-Hopi Land Dispute
One of the most contentious issues among both the Navajos and Hopis has to do with reservation borders and land use. Disputes between the Hopis and Navajos over reservation lands have been going on for decades and continues into the present day. Both tribes are deeply tied to the land, and both have compelling claims to the disputed area.
This dispute stretches back to the creation of the Hopi reservation by President Chester A. Arthur in 1882. The president issued an executive order granting 2.4 million acres "for the use and occupancy of the Moqui (Hopi) and other such Indians as the Secretary of the Interior may see fit to settle thereon." This vague wording is the basis for the land dispute. There were around 300 Navajos (and Paiutes) living in the area who believed they were the "other such Indians" who were entitled to stay, especially since the Hopi towns were located on their mesas and the Hopis did not use all of the reservation for settlement, only for religious ceremonies. The Hopis argue that the presidential order did not specifically mention the Navajos, and that its intent therefore was to grant the Hopis primary control.
The hostility between the Navajos and Hopis over this land led the Secretary of the Interior in 1891 to designate 300,000 acres of the 2.4 million granted in the 1882 act exclusively to the Hopis. This exclusive Hopi reservation was more than doubled in size in 1943, forcing around 100 Navajo families living in this area to relocate. Still, by 1960 there were about 8,500 Navajo living on land within the 1882 Hopi Reservation boundaries.
The matter was further complicated by a 1934 bill to establish new Navajo Reservation boundaries and eliminate private landholdings within them. This granted about 1 million acres in Arizona to the Navajos. However, it also stated that the lands were set aside for the Navajos and "such other Indians as are already settled thereon," which included the Hopi village of Moencopi.
In 1962, the Hopi Council sued the Navajo Tribe in Arizona District Court to reinforce the Hopis' claim on the land allocated exclusively to them in 1943. The court found that each side had valid claims, which did little to appease either side. In 1970 the U.S. government decreed some lands fought over by the Hopis and Navajos as a Joint Use Area. Five years later, a Congressional Act divided the Joint Use Area into exclusive Hopi and Navajo areas, though the tribes must still equally share all subsurface mineral rights.
During the 1960s and 70s, negotiating committees from both tribes met several times to try to resolve their differences, with no success. Finally in 1974 Congress passed the Navajo-Hopi Bill into law. It paid the costs of relocating Navajos currently living on exclusive Hopi lands, and authorized the Secretary of the Interior to sell them BLM land on which to resettle. All non-Hopis living in the exclusive Hopi area were supposed to move by 1986 and vice versa.
Many Navajos eventually moved, but some refused, and as the removal deadline approached, they appealed to Congress for help. In 1980 Congress passed an act that allowed certain Navajos to stay on the land in life estates, despite protests by the Hopis that their legally established rights were being violated.
By 1999, most of the Navajo families who were supposed to relocate had moved, though several still refused to leave. The Hopis and Navajos finally reached a compromise to allow these Navajos to stay on Hopi land by signing a 75 year lease. In 2000, the Navajos and Hopis agreed to a settlement of $29 million for land use and damages on Hopi land that they claimed was caused by Navajo overgrazing. However, there are still lingering issues and tensions on both sides, and many fear the conflict will never be fully resolved.

Throwing is generally considered to be an arm action; and good throwers are said to have strong arms. While the triceps muscles that extend the elbow are certainly involved in delivering the ball, the shoulder joint muscles generate most of the throwing movement, particularly the pectoralis major and deltoids, with assistance from the latissimus dorsi. The propulsive force applied by the arm and upper body actually represents the final phase of a three-part total body movement sequence.
The first phase is primary power production by the leg muscles as you step forward and shift your hips in the direction of the throw. This action incorporates the large quadriceps, hamstrings, adductor, abductor and gluteal muscles of the hips and thighs.
Phase two is the smooth and efficient transfer of force from the lower body to the upper body. This is accomplished by the muscles of the midsection, namely, the internal obliques, external obliques, rectus abdominis and erector spinae groups. Working together, these muscles rotate the torso forward with high torque that initiates the whiplike action of the throwing arm. Table 1 presents the muscles, actions and recommended exercises related to throwing a softball.
Table 1. Muscles, actions and recommended exercises related to throwing a ball.*
* add compound row after super pullover and add chest press after chest cross for more comprehensive softball conditioning.
Swinging a bat is actually a very similar action to throwing a ball, with the bat serving as an extension of the arms. Like throwing, batting is a three-phase sequence of coordinated body movements starting with the step, followed by the turn and completed with the swing. In fact, the forward step and torso rotation use the same muscles and movement pattern as throwing.
The swing is a horizontal action that involves both arms and essentially all of the upper body muscles. For a right-handed batter, the left arm supplies most of the hitting force by powerful contraction of the rear deltoid, latissimus dorsi and triceps muscles. The right arm assists by means of the pectoralis major, front deltoid and triceps muscles.
To better address these muscles, I recommend adding two multi-muscle exercises to your softball strength training program. The compound row exercise targets the rear deltoid, latissimus dorsi and biceps muscles, and should be performed after the super pullover to obtain the most benefit from this exercise sequence that pre-exhausts the latissimus dorsi muscles.
The chest press exercise addresses the pectoralis major, front deltoid and triceps muscles. Perform the chest press after the chest cross to maximize the pre-exhaustion effect of the pectoralis major muscles.
While sprinting speed is largely an inherent neuro-muscular ability, strength training can definitely enhance movement power. The same leg exercises used for improved throwing and batting will also increase base-running speed and fielding quickness. To place greater emphasis on the hip flexor muscles used in sprinting, be sure to lock your feet behind the ankle anchor pads when dong the abdominal machine.
Strength Training Protocol
Two or three strength training sessions per week, performed on non-consecutive days, are recommended during the off-season, and one or two workouts a week should be sufficient during the season. Each training session should require less than 30 minutes to complete the 15 strength exercises.
Perform one set of each exercise in good form, emphasizing slow movement speed and full movement range. I suggest 6-second repetitions with 2 seconds for each lifting action and four seconds for each lowering action. Try to achieve positions of full joint flexion and full joint extension on every repetition, as long s you do not experience discomfort in the end ranges.
Use a weightload that can be performed between 8 and 12 repetitions. This typically requires about 75 percent of maximum resistance, and represents a safe and productive training load. Whenever 12 good repetitions can be completed, add about 5 percent more resistance for gradual progression and to ensure continued strength development.
Regular and sensible strength training should be highly beneficial for improved softball performance and reduced risk of softball related injuries. A few stretching exercises should complement the strength exercises for a comprehensive softball conditioning program.

A singer who's big over the pond is coming to Bracknell for a night of music at the Kerith Centre.
Jason Upton, whose first album featured a mixture of unrehearsed and spontaneous songs, is teaming up with the Big Church Night In for the In Your Presence tour, which includes Bracknell as a destination.
The night of Christian music, which will be held on Thursday, March 5, follows on the heels of the Big Church Night In's previous gigs which have seen Matt Redman, Rend Collective, Martin Smith, Leeland and others play across the country, including Reading.
Tim Jupp, who heads up the Big Church Night In, is excited about the gig.
He said: "Jason Upton will be visiting Bracknell in March for what promises to be an incredible evening of intimate worship.
"Many of you would have experienced Jason at the Big Church Day Out over the past two years, not least his candlelit times of 'soaking' in the chapel.
"Jason Upton is a singer/songwriter with the heart of a pastor, and whether leading people in worship through singing or speaking, Jason carries the heart of our heavenly Father.
"His songs and his messages reflect a life fully lived in relationship with God, family and friends. It's set to be an unforgettable evening."
Tickets are already on sale and cost £12.50. Groups of 12 get one ticket free. Doors open at 6.30pm.

Three summers ago, I made predictions about what the Atlanta Falcons roster might look like in 2015. Recently, I revisited those predictions to discover just how oddly accurate and wildly inaccurate they were in most cases.
But in so doing, it got the creative juices flowing once more to try and do it again, this time predicting what the Falcons roster might look like three years from now in 2018. As I did then, I will break down each position group with the goal of examining a pathway that the Falcons roster could go down.
Recently the wide receivers and tight ends have been discussed, so now it's time to turn towards the offensive line…
The Falcons find stability and continuity with the offensive line in 2016 with the exact same starting lineup featured that season continuing into 2018. Their unit is considered one of the "nastier" groups in the league, thanks to their zone-blocking scheme calling on them to do quite a bit of cut-blocking, angering every opponent they face.
Jake Matthews, now entering his fifth season in 2018 is the headliner and leader of the unit. Matthews is coming into his own at left tackle and is coming off his first Pro Bowl bid in 2017. Matthews has battled some injuries over the years, but there is no doubt that when healthy, he's one of the league's most consistent blindside protectors.
The only new face to the group is left guard J.R. Sweezy, whom the Falcons signed via free agency in 2016. The athletic veteran is no superstar, but fits the mold of exactly what the Falcons want under head coach Dan Quinn: an athletic and physical mauler in the middle of their line. What Sweezy lacks as a reliable pass-protector, he makes up for as a physical run-blocker.
Joe Hawley is able to turn a solid 2015 season into a brand new three-year deal in 2016. The 30-year old center has put together four consecutive solid years in Atlanta by the time 2018 rolls around, continuing to show the trademark nastiness that now epitomizes the Falcons front.
Beside him remains the "Steady Eddie" of the group: right guard Jon Asamoah. Even though Asamoah is approaching age 30 and entering the final year of his contract, there is talk of an extension being bandied about during the summer of 2018. His consistency and leadership have proven invaluable to the team.
At right tackle, Ryan Schraeder is able to turn an up-and-down 2015 performance into a stronger 2016 one, earning himself a nice five-year contract before the 2017 season. Schraeder hasn't looked back in the time since and is considered to be one of league's nastier players at right tackle.
Behind those five, the Falcons have a good group of backups. The team decides to move 2015 seventh-round pick Jared Rodgers to guard in 2017 to push Mike Person, who is not re-signed the following offseason. But never shy about bolstering competition, the Falcons use a 2018 mid-round pick on Virginia Tech guard Wyatt Teller. The team is optimistic that Teller can eventually begin to push either Sweezy or Asamoah for a starting spot in a few years rather than simply being the backup that Rodgers has settled in as.
Working beside him at center is former 2015 undrafted rookie Valerian Ume-Ezeoke, who is able to go from a practice squad spot as a rookie to a full-fledged backup in 2016 when he beats out James Stone for a roster spot. Ume-Ezeoke serves as a solid backup to Hawley thereafter.
At tackle, the Falcons spent a mid-round pick in 2017 on Virginia Tech offensive tackle Jonathan McLaughlin. McLaughlin serves as the team's swing tackle and has proven a valuable option in brief opportunities when the injury bug has hit either Matthews or Schraeder.

Send questions about the Blue Ribbon Campaign to firstname.lastname@example.com
EFF and other civil liberties groups ask that a blue ribbon be worn or displayed to show support for the essential human right of free speech. This fundamental building block of free society, affirmed by the U.S. Bill of Rights in 1791, and by the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, has been sacrificed in the 1996 Telecom Bill.
The blue ribbon will be a way to raise awareness of these issues, from locally to globally, and for the quiet voice of reason to be heard.
The voice of reason knows that free speech doesn't equate to sexual harassment, abuse of children, or the breeding of hatred or intolerance.
We insist that any material that's legal in bookstores, newspapers, or public libraries must be legal online.
See below for info on how to get
Blue Ribbon graphics for your WWW pages.
All Web users are strongly encouraged to place a blue ribbon graphic on their servers, such as the ones below. (Click on each to download if your browser requires this.)
NOTE: You do NOT need to ask for permission to use these graphics. They are public domain, created either by EFF, or by people who have voluntarily donated new icons to the collection.
If you would like to point your Blue Ribbon icon at this Blue Ribbon SUPPORT page(the page you are reading now), you can add this HTML Anchor to your homepage (or a similar one, pointing to another Blue Ribbon Site).
Many other versions are available, including borderless, transparent, grey and black backrounds, smaller versions, an outline version, and a textless version for incorporation into larger banners (as a standalone icon, please use the versions with text, so people have some idea that there IS a blue ribbon campaign and what is about when they first encounter it - not everyone has a color monitor, so the verbal name of the campaign is important to pass around.) Thank you for your support and activism, and remember - it's YOUR rights you are fighting for! Wear a real blue ribbon, so people ask you what it's all about.
If you are not sure why you need to participate
in the Blue Ribbon Campaign and stand up for your free speech, or
uncertain how your rights are threatened, please see Internet Censorship Legislation Alerts Page
Here are some other sites providing Blue Ribbon pages. You might wish to refer people to one of these sites as well as or in place of ours. This will help reduce load on our system, and help spread the word into otheronline communities (e.g. via having someone within each community provide a blue ribbon page, rather than everyone having to figure out who we are and how we relate to their interests) This is *not* a list of people supporting the blue ribbon campaign and putting blue ribbons on their WWW pages - there are already thousands!
For a humor break, see the CensorU Movement (C.U.M.) www pages - a parody of the theocratic right, with its own red pro-censorship ribbon. And there's the Blue Ribbon Prank Page, which elaborately plays on the theocratic party line that "indecency = pornography". Also, the Free Peaches Online mock-campaign might cheer you up. New on the block is a page satirizing a hypothetical Communications Decency Administration (with some serious activism suggestions as well as parody material.)
Check out the Green Ribbon Campaign for Responsibility in Free Speech.
I must confess... that I do not LIKE to see pornography! I do not like to hear OBSCENITIES!
Regarding the first... while I do admittedly have a NARROW field of interest... I don't encounter PORN much. When I do... I hit my back button (easy enough!)
When this issue came up I even tried to follow some of these Objectional links. What I found was T.V. level Sexuality... with a promise of more IF YOU WERE OVER 21 and had a CREDIT CARD!This seems like a deterrent for most youths. PARENTAL CONTROL IS THE KEY!
On the obsene language issue... as I stated, I don't like to hear it! For this reason I don't like movies or TELEVISION! (I regard Hateful language as Obsene! and I deplore seeing things that hurt and Destroy!) But if I encounter an obscene word in the written form, I DO NOT HAVE TO VOCALIZE IT! I mentally translate it into an EMPHATIC... and either read on or go somewhere else...
This is really not that big of a problem! WHAT

SDSU (13-9) will first face Cal State East Bay (9-9) at 10 a.m. PT. The Pioneers are winners of five straight, with their last four coming in convincing fashion. Saturday's showdown is the first-ever meeting between the schools.
In the second game of a tripleheader, the Aztecs will return to the pool in time for a 2:30 p.m. PT game vs. Connecticut College. The Camels head to southern California with a 4-1 record and winners of four in a row. Before facing SDSU, Connecticut College will play at Redlands on Tuesday, at Chapman on Thursday, at Concordia on Friday and at Chapman again before hopping into the pool with the Aztecs.
Then in the last game of the day, San Diego State will face a Chapman squad that is 5-11 on the season. Prior to its game with the Aztecs, the Panthers will play five games, four of which will be at home. In its last outing, Chapman fell to Cal Baptist, 17-3.
SDSU, meanwhile, is coming off a 2-2 weekend at its own Aztec Invitational. San Diego State fell to No. 20 Wagner, 6-5, before beating Harvard, 7-5, and Bucknell, 10-3. The Aztecs then dropped its finale to eighth-ranked Princeton, 7-4.
San Diego State enters this week's action with Anique Hermann leading the squad in scoring with 33 goals. The junior also leads the team in assists and steals with 41 and 49, respectively. Freshman Ioli Benekou ranks second in goals with 30.
Following the Chapman Mini, SDSU will begin a four-game homestand on March 24, against Stanford. On March 29, San Diego State will play host to conference foe Fresno Pacific and Brown, before ending the homestand vs. LMU on April 5.

Peary and the Pole: A Hundred Year Old Controversy and Reunion
Story posted April 02, 2009
A Hundred Year Old Controversy and Reunion
Susan A. Kaplan, Director
The Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum and Arctic Studies Center
One hundred years ago, after more than a month of sledging over moving sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean, Robert E. Peary, of the Class of 1877, Matthew Henson and four Inughuit men stood at the northernmost place on earth, the North Pole.
They reached that spot on April 6, 1909.
Peary wrote that his dream had been realized. He also noted how ordinary a place it was; nothing differentiated the North Pole from the rest of the ice-covered Polar Sea.
Yet one century later people continue to be drawn to the Pole, walking, skiing, snow-shoeing, sledging, sailing, snowmobiling and flying to 90° North latitude. They go because it is there, as a test of their inner strength, out of scientific curiosity, for nationalistic reasons, to raise funds and awareness of various causes, and just for fun.
A Controversy is Born
The lure of the North Pole is matched only by a fascination with determining who reached that remote spot first.
Peary returned home from his expedition to a storm of controversy; just days before he announced his achievement, Frederick Cook, another American, claimed he had been to the Pole one year earlier.
Both men were questioned and throughout the world people wondered, was Peary's party the first to reach the Pole? Was Cook's? Had they both failed? The media had a field day.
There were no independent observers to confirm the explorers' locations and neither Cook nor Peary could leave a permanent record that would endure on the shifting sea ice.
Since 1909 people continue to try to prove that one of these men succeeded, while others dedicate considerable efforts to proving that the men failed, or worse yet faked their achievement.
At every major anniversary, proponents for each claimant have brought up the same issues about sledging speeds, advance preparation, navigation techniques, and the quality of journal entries.
The personalities and motivations of the lead explorers have been thoroughly scrutinized, as have the testimonies of their Inughuit companions.
After one hundred years with no resolution, it should be clear that the world will never know, definitely, which team, if either first reached the North Pole.
A Reunion Of Objects
One hundred years on, none of the men involved in Peary's historic expedition are alive to add their voices to the debate, but the diaries and journals many of the American team members kept provide insights into what they thought, how they solved problems and their relationships to one another.
Some of the objects they used survive as well. Together, they tell fascinating stories about a group of talented, resourceful and courageous people.
Several of these accounts and objects are brought together for a historic reunion at the Arctic Museum.
Here, the American flag Peary flew at the Pole, the undershirt he wore with pockets for his chronometers, the revolver he carried and one of the five 14-foot-long wooden sledges he used to reach the Pole are gathered together for the first time in 100 years.
For just one month (March 26 to April 24, 2009) they are joined by a page from Peary's North Pole diary and the journals of members of the sledging parties.
These objects are displayed within an exhibit, Northward Over the Great Ice, that examines Peary's ingenuity, the debt he owed the Inughuit and the contributions of people who supported him in the north and at home.
By reading Peary's papers, as well as the journals and correspondence of his men, and examining their equipment and photographs, one develops admiration for these people.
Peary was inventive, designing everything from an alcohol stove that turned ice to boiling water in nine minutes and extinguished itself, to the SS Roosevelt, a strong auxiliary steamer designed to ram through pack ice.
The ship's chief engineer George Wardwell was an unflappable man whose activities ranged from repairing the ship's boilers to grinding a new lens for a camera.
Matthew Henson, Peary's chief assistant, spoke Inuktitut fluently and was recognized as a superb dog sledge driver.
Teams of Inughuit and Westerners worked together negotiating the shifting sea ice, overcoming huge language barriers and cultural differences.
The Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum and Arctic Studies Center invites the public to view the exhibit and scrutinize the objects and documents and if they wish, decide for themselves whether they think Peary and his party reached the northernmost place on earth.
The Museum has posted daily entries from crew members' journals to an historic blog, giving the public additional access to eyewitness accounts as they appeared exactly one hundred years ago to the day.

Below is one of the Uchiki Kuri squash plants - I'm going to need to cut back some off-shoots. It would happily cover 4 poles I think!
This is the biggest one - as big as my palm and quite pump. Is it ok to leave it to carry on growing?
This is my herb fennel. It's really tall and has flowered. The flying insects really love it, so I'm leaving it to grow as it's not really something I will use much for cooking and it looks very pretty.

by Ariel Dorfman *
There is a store I visit from time to time, for convenience's sake or to indulge in nostalgia, where I can find all of Latin America on display.
Under the roof of one vast supermarket I savor the presence of the continent where I was born, go back, so to speak, to my own plural origins. On one shelf, Nobleza Gaucha, the yerba mate my Argentine parents used to sip every morning in their New York exile -- my mother with sugar, my father in its more bitter version. Even to contemplate the bag that this grass herb comes in, allows me to recall how anxiously mi mamá y mi papá awaited shipments from the authoritarian Buenos Aires they had escaped in the forties. A bit further along in the store, I come upon leche condensada en una lata, the sort I would sip from a can on adolescent camping trips into the mountains of Chile, where my family moved when I was twelve. And nearby, a tin of Nido, the powdered milk my wife Angélica and I first fed our son Rodrigo as a baby, almost half a century ago in Santiago. Or Nesquik para niños, the chocolate we relied on to sweeten the existence of our younger son Joaquín, when he accompanied us back to Chile after many years of exile from Pinochet's dictatorship.
Origins, however, are never merely personal, but deeply collective, and especially so for Latin Americans such as myself, who feel an entrañable fellowship with natives from other unfortunate countries of our region. A stubborn history of thwarted dreams has led to a shared sense of purpose and sorrow, hope and resilience, which joins us all emotionally, beyond geographic destiny or national boundaries. To stroll up and down the grocery aisles of that store is to reconnect with the people and the lands and the tastebuds of those brothers and sisters and to partake, however vicariously, in meals being planned and prepared at that very moment in millions and millions of homes everywhere in the hemisphere. There is canela from Perú and queso crema from Costa Rica and café torrado e moido (O sabor do campo na sua casa) from Brasil. There is coconut juice from the Caribbean and frijoles of every possible and impossible variety and maíz tostado from Mexico and bunches of fresh apio/celery from the Dominican Republic (they look like tiny twisted idols) and hierbas medicinales para infusiones from who knows where, and albahaca and ajonjoli and linaza and yuca and malanga and chicharrones de cerdo and chicharrones de harina.
If you were to go to Sao Paolo or Caracas or Quito, if you were to try to shop for this assortment of staples or delicacies in San Salvador or La Paz or Bogotá, if you were to ask in any major or minor city of Latin America where you might be able to pick your way through such a plethora of culinary choices in one location, you would be told that a place like that does not exist anywhere in that country. There is no shop in Rio de Janeiro, for instance, that next to an array of carioca fare would allow you to select among eighteen multiplicities of chile peppers and buy Tampico punch and sample some casabe bread.

Over 1500 people have registered their interest or intent to attend a Brexit protest march organised by a student at the University of York.
The event, titled 'York Says No To Brexit' and led by second year English and Related Literature student Sally Sadik, is set to take place on Saturday 2 July, and has 501 confirmed 'Going' and over 1100 registered 'Interested' on Facebook. The march will gather at St Helens Square at 1pm and continue along Davygate, through Parliament Square, turn onto High Ousegate, and follow down Spurrier Gate and Coney St, finishing back at its starting point.
The group also plan to hold a minute's silence before the march in memory of Jo Cox, the Labour MP for Batley and Spen who was murdered on 16 June representing her constituency in Birstall, West Yorkshire.
The protest has received a great deal of support from local political figures and businesses, as well as hundreds of ordinary people from across the country.
Labour MP for York Centre and recently promoted shadow Defence Minister Rachael Maskell has voiced her support for the campaign, tweeting that she will attend the event which she deems: "Too important to miss". Organisers have since announced the 2015 Liberal Democrat candidate for York Outer, James Blanchard, is also confirmed to speak, and they will be seeking to secure a representative from Green Party to make an appearance.
In addition, one local business has announced its plans to close for two hours on Saturday in solidarity with the protest.
The march has received council and police approval and will go ahead with appropriate security measures in place.
In light of a significant amount of criticism and complaints launched against the campaign, predominantly with the feeling that the protest is somehow 'anti-democratic', Sadik has clarified that the group endeavours to challenge the consequences of a democratic vote influenced by false promises, specifically what she calls the "misinformation and lies used by the Leave campaign". Marchers also intend to take a stand against "the anti-immigrant narrative and racist/xenophobic attacks" that have occured in the aftermath of the referendum result.
When asked what the collective hoped to achieve by protesting, Sadik commented: "[We are doing this] because the consequences will be too devastating otherwise. We are doing this because we care about our future, and we care about the futures of those not given a voice yet irrevocably affected by this vote – the hard-working immigrants who give so much to British economy and culture – and the young people who will be hit hardest by the economic impact of leaving the union."
In response to the criticism the campaign has received, she explained: "Some people have labelled this protest as 'anti-democratic', but vote leave was a campaign of misinformation and sometimes outright lies, meaning the public was not suitably informed to make such a monumental decision. This is evidenced by the fact that 1.1 million people regret their choice to leave after one trillion dollars was wiped off the market. The campaign was framed by a racist narrative, using immigrants as scapegoats for failures in the British economy.
"Our right to protest is not only democratic, it is necessary to show the severity of leaving the union."
Sadik and co-organiser James Haikney will be interviewed live on BBC Radio York tomorrow between 8:00 and 8:05, and featured again on Capital FM on Saturday. ITV have also expressed an interest in covering the protest.
The event comes at a time of significant political turmoil, with the country's vote to leave the European Union challenged by hoards of young people across the country. Today thousands protested Brexit near the Commons in Westminster, and a march against the Leave vote is set to take place in London on Saturday (simultaneously with the York protest), with 10,000 'Going' and 26,000 registered 'Interested' on Facebook.
For those interested in getting involved with 'York Says No To Brexit', organisers will be hosting a placard/sign making session at JJs, Halifax College on Wednesday 29 at 7pm.

About the Author
Ruthie Manier is an author of thrilling paranormal romance books. Her first in the new series, 'The Hemocil Society,' by the name of 'Lover's Curse' was released May of 2014. The second of this series, 'Lover's Salvation' will be released in the late spring of 2015. Ruthie puts a new spin on vampire romance that will keep you on the edge of your seat turning the pages, eyes burning through the words afraid to miss what happens next. Her books are filled with sexy, strong, magical characters, packed with action, steamy romance, and best of all, true love. Ruthie like many others has had her share of bumps and curves along the road of life, and has found the healing and the strength she needed through her lifetime love of writing and her other greatest passion, running. Once at forty-nine she was invited to run a half marathon but was told by a peer she was too old. Heavy hearted she almost withdrew, but then after stewing on it for a few days she lifted her chin, squared her shoulders and said, "Like hell I can't run a marathon!" Ruthie ran her first half marathon in 2009, since then she has completed three more half marathons and the Seattle Rock n' Roll Marathon! Her motto is to never give up! She is a Washingtonian through and through, born and bred second oldest of ten siblings. Ruthie has been married to the love of her life Jon for thirty years. They have four adult children, two rowdy sons and two strongly independent daughters. Thus far they have been blessed with four beautiful grandchildren, again two boys and two girls. For the last eighteen years Ruthie has worked in the medical field, mostly in the emergency room where it has been her delight to work with many amazing people including staff and patients. However, Ruthie's greatest pleasure is spending time with her loved one's camping, vacationing or just plain visiting with a hot cup of tea or a nice glass of wine. At home you'll always be able to find her cozied up in her favorite lazy boy chair or on her patio enjoying the sparse NW Washington sunshine, creating a new novel or reading someone else's delicious romance.

Ahanix dboX Case ReviewFormer staff writer -
A Closer Look
By the time it arrived at my house, the box looked like it had one heck of a ride. Actually it did, it was mistakenly shipped to LinuXProX, and he had to turn around and ship it to me.
Included with the case are the two fans, speaker, user manual, motherboard mounting and various other screws. The manual is actually three pieces of paper written in English and what I assume is Chinese, and describes how to use the thermal display and how to mount the thermal sensors.
Taking a look at the back of the case, you can see the thumb screws which allow for a tool-less entry. The PSU mounts at the top, and the exhaust fan mounts below that.
Looking at the front of the case, everything is laid out very nice. The blue LED at the top of the case puts out a nice glow, and the red numbers on the thermal readout is easy to read in the light or dark. The two green LEDs above the temperature represent the fan speed. The yellow LEDs below the temperature readout identifies which thermal channel you have selected. Next to the yellow LEDs is an orange LED (not shown in picture) that displays HDD activity.
The door below the thermal readout hides the USB and IrDA ports. My computers aren't exactly situated in a way I can easily get behind them. Having front USB ports allows me to hook up my digital camera when needed without having to reach behind my computers and fumble around looking for a port. When the ports aren't in use, the door slides back to cover them up, leaving a nice clean look.
The front bezel is attached by six, round, plastic tabs, and removes easily.
If you look at the fan grill you can see the case has the ability to use either an 80mm or a 120mm fan. Who wants to use an 80mm fan when we can use a 120mm, right? :P On the bezel you can see the mesh filter, and if you look through the filter you can see the green controller board used for the thermal sensor, thermal read out, and fan control. It sounds nice to have all the extras, but in the situation of this case it actually causes a problem. With the controller board mounting directly in front of the intake fan, very little air gets brought into the case. I tested this again with my Sunon 120mm fan (108 CFM) to make sure it wasn't just the generic case fan, and noticed no improvements what-so-ever. This case will be fine as long as you don't plan to overclock, but as soon as you up the FSB you'll run into trouble.
Moving into the case, you can see a mess of wires. What's a case without a mess of wires though, right? No, the system speaker doesn't mount to the side of the door, it comes unmounted and you'll have to mount it yourself.
The power supply mounts at the very top of the case and present a problem for people who's power supply has a top intake fan, as there is only a 10mm space between the PSU and the case.

Devon has a tough field to face, but I think that he can bring home the gold in the 100-meter hurdles. This is his event, and he had plenty of practice this year and training through college meets. Even if he doesn't win gold this year, he'll be back in 4 years to do it.
Devon Allen has the stamina, and the persistence to achieve the gold medal! The torn ACL that he suffered from during his Rose Bowl victory, will not hold him back from showing the world his speed and leaping skill. Devon has proven to us that he can, and will achieve the honor of winning the Gold!
Devon Allen has yet again proven himself as being a very capable runner and all-around athlete. While his competition this year is indeed very stiff, Devon Allen has the experience and drive to succeed and obtain the gold medal for the event. He has completed the events leading up too the semifinals in apparent ease, so clasping the victory shouldn't be very difficult for him.
Devon Allen is an excellent runner who is going into the final races after a strong win in the 110 meter hurdles. He did very well on a wet, messy track and has shown that he can excel under difficult conditions. His wins give him a strong momentum to push for the gold medal.

The round of 16 kicks off in the AFC Champions League with Jeonbuk Motors, the only former winners to reach this stage, entertaining Kashiwa Reysol in the first leg. Fellow K League participants FC Seoul, meanwhile, travel to China to take on Beijing Guoan, while in west Asia a pair of seasoned campaigners meet, with Al Gharafa welcoming Al Shabab.
Having progressed to the last 16 for the first time, a quintet of sides face daunting tasks. Central Coast Mariners, for example, will have their work cut out against last year's quarter-finalists Guangzhou Evergrande, while Al Shabab Al Arabi face a tough duel with Iranian champions Esteghlal. Join FIFA.com as we preview these enticing match-ups across the continent.
The match
Buriram United-Bunyodkor
Cliche or not, Buriram's meeting with Bunyodkor befits the David versus Goliath image. Mirjalol Kasimov's visitors boast a proud Champions League record, having made it to the knockout stage in all six previous attempts. The hosts are, for their part, the first Thai side to reach this stage since BEC Tero Sasana in 2003.
Considering their brilliant showings so far, though, few doubt that Buriram's ability to spring a surprise. The Thai outfit did, after all, stun Kashiwa and Guangzhou Evergrande in the last edition, before edging Jiangsu Sainty to seal their maiden knockout stage appearance. Furthermore, they can take heart from BEC's heroics in the inaugural tournament, when the unfancied Thais emerged 4-2 semi-final victors against another Uzbek outfit, Pakhtakor.
Scott Cooper, who recently replaced Atthaphol Puspakom as Buriram's coach, enjoyed a good start on Saturday with a 4-1 defeat of Osotspa. However, the suspensions of captain Suchao Nutnum and Spanish midfielder Carmelo Gonzalez do provide him with cause for concern. Kasimov must also modify his line-up, with defender Akmal Shorakhmedov suspended.
The other attractions
In west Asia, the matchday is marked out by a trio of clashes between teams from Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Qatari El Jaish and Lekhwiya, both of whom progressed beyond the group phase for the first time, meet Saudi duo Al Ahli and Al Hilal respectively. Despite losing Saturday's Emir Cup semi-final meeting against Al Rayyan, El Jaish welcome Al Ahli brimming with confidence, having crushed Saudi giants Al Shabab 3-0 in the group phase. Lekhwiya, too, can draw inspiration from the four points they won from Al Ettifaq when they line up against Al Hilal.
Dominating attention in the two countries and beyond is, of course, the re-match between Al Gharafa and Al Shabab. The former came out on top in last year's group meetings, claiming four points, including a 2-1 home win from two legs. Captained by Qatari international Lawrence Quaye, and with Djibril Cisse spearheading the attack, the hosts have proved a formidable force. The visitors, though, can look to the free-scoring Sebastian Tagliabue, who finished the recently concluded Saudi season as top scorer with 25 goals.
The only sides representing United Arab Emirates and Iran, Al Shabab Al Arabi and Esteghlal, meet in Dubai as both sides seek to do their countries proud. Armed with a series of Iranian internationals including Javad Nekonam, Esteghlal start as favourites. However, they will be rightly wary of their hosts' resilience, a key factor in their unlikely progress at the expense of Al Ettifaq and Pakhtakor.
Further east, FC Seoul head to Beijing hoping to continue their form against Chinese sides, having twice defeated Jiangsu during the group phase. A 2-0 victory at Daejeon Citizen on Saturday has provided the visitors with a timely morale-booster, while Beijing will be looking to put a 2-1 defeat at Guangzhou R&F behind them.
Jeonbuk approach the visit of Kashiwa with a score to settle against their Japanese visitors, having lost both away and home last year. Four group stage points against Urawa Red Diamonds in this year's campaign should, however, give them confidence ahead of another meeting with J.League opposition. Still, the visitors look sure poised to pose a big threat and come into the match boosted by two successive domestic wins.
Marcello Lippi's Guangzhou, meanwhile, travel to Australia targeting an away win against the Mariners. The visitors established a three-point gap at the summit of the Chinese table with Friday's 3-0 triumph at Shanghai Shenhua, with in-form striker Gao Lin twice on target. Graham Arnold's hosts, meanwhile, will be aiming to overcome any psychological damage inflicted by their recent 3-0 home loss to Kashiwa.
Player to watch
Having captained Esteghlal to Iranian league title and through the Champions League group phase, Iran's striking veteran Farhad Mijidi – who fired Al Ain to the inaugural title – will be out for yet more continental glory.
The stat
4 - A quartet of sides left in the competition – namely, Kashiwa, Al Ahli, Bunyodkor and Jeonbuk - enter the knockout stage undefeated.
What they said
"Against a strong, dangerous rival like FC Seoul, we should maintain our patience. They are good at passing and attacking, so we must counter them with a proper game plan," Beijing Guoan coach Aleksandar Stanojevic.
Round of 16 first-leg fixtures

This article about how to calculate the mineral equivalents in polymetallic deposits is a great resource for investors in individual mining stocks. However, when you are investing in mining stocks through a Stock Based mineral ETF I recommend you to read this article too.
When reading a company's press release in which they announce their mineral resources and or reserves of a polymetallic deposit, you will often see them reporting in the metal equivalents of the primary metal.
The secondary mineral(s) are being multiplied by their own current mineral prices and are then divided by the current mineral price of the primary mineral of the polymetallic deposit to get the mineral equivalent value.
For example, if company XYZ announces a mineral resource containing 1 million ounces of gold at a current price of $1,500 per ounce and 10 million ounces of silver at a current price of $30 per ounce, the calculation to convert the secondary metal (silver) into the primary metal (gold) is:
Metal Equivalent Calculation
|(10,000,000 ounces of silver * $30 =) $300,000,000 / $1,500 =
|200,000 gold equivalent ounces
You will often find the mineral chosen for reporting on a metal equivalent basis (i.e. the primary mineral) is the one that contributes most to the value of the deposit.
Cautionary Note: Always make sure to read which prices were used when the metal equivalent calculations were made, due to potential differences between the prices used for the calculations and the current metal prices, which in turn could over or under estimate the potential value of the polymetallic deposit.

Hopefully your favorite myth gets busted!
Setting the record straight on 6 myths about
childless childfree adults

These stories, and many more just like them, come from my interviews with childfree women and men from across the U.S. and Canada. They reveal some of the most common myths about the childfree, the term preferred by people who have made the explicit and intentional choice not to have kids.
