Did you know that 1 in 10 marijuana users will become addicted and for people who begin using before the age of 18, that number rises to 1 in 6. Marijuana use affects the brain! As parents, we protect our children by securing them in a car seat, making sure they wear a bike helmet, and holding their hand when we cross the road. Why then would we allow them to use marijuana when it affects their brain development? Allowing marijuana use will give addiction one foot in the door. According to the CDC marijuana can also affect the circulatory system and may increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Learn more about how marijuana affects the brain and body. https://www.cdc.gov/marijuana/health-effects.htm

Substance Abuse Coalition Reports Increase in Heroin Overdoses
The Northern Shenandoah Valley Substance Abuse Coalition is warning the public about the dangers of heroin use after seven people in the Northwest region have overdosed in the past five days. From April 18th – April 24th law enforcement responded to seven heroin overdoses, none of which were fatal. On April 20th, deputies with the Frederick County Sheriff's Office responded to two overdoses that happened within 30 minutes of each other and were able to give the victims a dose of the overdose reversal drug naloxone. One of the victims was 6 months pregnant. The other recent overdoses occurred in Shenandoah County (2) and the City of Winchester (3). Overdose deaths in our region are down from this time last year, when nine were reported by the Northwest Virginia Regional Drug and Gang Task Force. Overdose injuries, however, are up, from 15 injuries last year, to 28 injuries this year.
The Coalition recognizes that if it were not for naloxone the death toll in our area would be much higher. Frederick County Sheriff's Deputies were trained in February to administer the lifesaving prescription medication. Since then, they have successfully administered it four times. The Clarke County Sheriff's Office and Berryville Police Department are planning to train their deputies and officers on administering naloxone.
While the Coalition has seen a decrease in the number of overdose deaths in the Northern Shenandoah Valley, the organization finds the recent overdoses concerning. Friends and family members of individuals struggling with the disease of addiction are encouraged to seek help for their loved ones by visiting roadtorecovery.info or calling CONCERN HOTLINE at 540-667-0745.

What is addiction? Addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing brain disease characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences. It is considered a brain disease because drugs change the brain—they change its structure and how it works. Addiction results largely from brain changes that stem from prolonged drug use—changes that involve multiple brain circuits, including those responsible for governing self-control and other behaviors.
Addiction is treatable, often with medications (for some addictions) combined with behavioral therapies. However, relapse is common and can happen even after long periods of abstinence, underscoring the need for long-term support and care. Relapse does not signify treatment failure, but rather should prompt treatment re-engagement or modification. This website is one of a variety of awareness and education initiatives to inform the community about the disease of addiction, promote prevention, and offer helpful resources—locally and beyond.

The Johannesburg Bar Council is due to discuss whether it should be considered unprofessional conduct if a team, of three advocates working on one legal case, does not have at least one black advocate among them.
Stephen Grootes spoke to Chairperson of the Johannesburg Bar Council, Advocate Dali Mpofu about the roots of the issues.
Adv Mpofu explains that this is largely due to racism that manifests itself in various forms; such as a notion that black advocates are incompetent. He insists that equal training is provided for all advocates, across races.

Attorney General Biden spoke to the students at Ursuline Academy about using social media safely on Tuesday, Jan. 8.
Facebook. Instagram. People of all ages are hooked on all forms of social media. But with new forms of communication popping up almost weekly, (have you heard of Snapchat, yet?) the dangers of sharing too much information and with the wrong people increase immensely.
Attorney General Beau Biden spoke to Ursuline Academy middle school students on just these types of dangers on Tuesday, Jan. 8.
Biden, although well-versed in many of the social media platforms, having an 8-year-old daughter at home, received an eye-opening education from the Ursuline students on the role social media plays in their everyday lives.
When asked who has a Facebook account, every student in the room raised their hand. Every student showed equal enthusiasm for Instagram, an online photo-sharing and social networking service that enables its users to take a photo, apply a digital filter to it, and share it with people.
"Follow the golden rule that your parents taught you — don't talk to strangers," Biden said.
Biden expressed that this rule is even more important when talking to people on the internet or sharing information on social media. He said people are often willing to share more information about themselves in the privacy of their own homes in front of their computers, than if they were talking to a complete stranger face-to-face.
Natalie Onesi, a seventh grader at Ursuline, found Attorney General Biden's discussion very informative.
"He had a new perspective and presented it with examples," said Onesi, who first started using social media to preserve photos.
Onesi carries around words of wisdom from her mother before she "friends" anyone on Facebook: "I make sure I have a legitimate conversation in person before I become their friend."
Morgan Blasetto, an eighth grade student, enjoyed how Biden interacted with the audience.
"I make sure I know all my friends (on Facebook)," she said.

Every Wednesday night in October at 7:00pm! Regular Admission Prices.
Always look on the bright side of life and prepare for a massive month of Monty Python on the big screen as The Loft Cinema presents a moving tribute to killer rabbits, silly walks and dead parrots – it's guaranteed to be more fun than the Spanish Inquisition! Monty Python's Flying Circus started as a television show in 1969, growing exponentially in popularity with each passing year until finally, in 1971, the first Monty Python movie appeared, And Now For Something Completely Different. British comedy would never be the same again. Drawing on the crackpot genius of its members (including Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle and Terry Jones, to name only the proverbial few), the Python troupe combined brainy satire with utterly ridiculous nonsense to create a new brand of surreal comedy that inspired generations of performers. Following the success of their first film, more (and increasingly hilarious) Monty Python movies arrived at intervals of every few years, even after the original, legendary television series went off the air in 1973. From the outrageous satire of The Life of Brian to the quotable insanity of The Holy Grail to the warped fantasy of Gilliam's Time Bandits and beyond, the films of Monty Python prove that comedy may be nice, but a shrubbery is ever nicer.

48 hours after Mark Jackson questioned their desire, there was only one acceptable way for the Warriors to respond. With Andre Iguodala returning and New Orleans missing its best player, the Warriors needed a blowout to rebut Jackson's charges. They got one, built on not only a 59-point first-half outburst, but on comparatively stingy defense holding the Pelicans to only 39 first-half points. The Warriors' key players all seemed to elevate their games — Stephen Curry took charge earlier, Klay Thompson tightened his defense on sharp-shooter Eric Gordon, and Andrew Bogut played with greater offensive confidence. But no Warrior showed a bigger improvement in his execution and effort than David Lee.
Andre Iguodala's return and Anthony Davis' absence were the perfect ingredients for a breakout game by David Lee. Instead of Davis, the type of athletic four that can give Lee fits, the Pelicans were forced to start the offensively dangerous but perimeter-focused Ryan Anderson. Mark Jackson corrected Sunday's biggest catastrophe — the Lee/Frye match-up — by switching Andre Iguodala onto Anderson at the defensive end. Lee was tucked away against the offensively-challenged Al-Faroug Aminu, who was fed the ball early but quickly forgotten after he failed to make much of the match-up. By shuffling his defense, Jackson played to his line-up's strengths and minimized its weaknesses.
But Lee's 21 point, 17 rebound performance was more than just favorable match-ups. After having so many flip shots blocked recently, Lee repeatedly went strong to the basket — starting with the first points of the game, a dunk. He seemed to have an extra bounce in his step and make his moves to the hoop with more urgency than we've seen in the past few games. He went under or around defenders rather than into them, limiting their access to his shots. On defense, Lee was more decisive, particularly when he decided to flash towards the ball and off his man (made easier, no doubt, by Aminu's limited shooting skills). Instead of getting caught in no-man's land, as he did Sunday, Lee helped force some key turnovers. He won his match-ups at both ends of the court. Ultimately, Jackson wasn't calling out just Lee with his comments on Sunday, but Lee seems to have received the message. The hustle and aggressiveness he showed on Tuesday were the best parts of Lee's game, far too often absent so far this season. If he can keep it up against better competition, it'll help the Warriors start winning games against their playoff competitors.
While Lee's line is the eye-popper of the evening, all the Warriors' starters stepped up their games:
- Stephen Curry had a hyper-efficient 11-19 shooting night and only 3 turnovers. Rather than waiting for late game heroics, Curry did his work early. He led the Warriors' first-half charge with 17 points and 8 assists and built them an early lead rather than digging them out of a late deficit. The assertiveness was significant given the team's recent tendency to attempt to turn it on late against teams they consider to be inferior. With some of those efforts falling short, despite Curry's heroics, he took no chances on Tuesday and played with a predatory instinct from the opening tip.
- Andre Iguodala's favorite player, Klay Thompson, benefitted from his benefactor's return. The additional defensive attention Iguodala drew when he was in the game helped Thompson run his routes more freely. Thompson came off screens crisply and got plenty of the catch-and-shoot opportunities on which he thrives. His offensive game wasn't forced. When he had the shot, he took it, and when he didn't, he passed willingly and purposefully (logging a nice 6 assists). At the defensive end, Thompson looked more like the lock-down defender of earlier in the season than the mistake-prone shell we've seen recently. He denied Gordon clean looks for the early portion of the game and never let the streak shooter develop any rhythm. Like Lee, Jackson's challenge seemed to provide a more focused effort.
- Andrew Bogut has been vocal about the Warriors' defensive short-comings, and seemed particularly pleased on the court Tuesday when his teammates made smart defensive plays. The normally stoic Bogut went out of his way to encourage his teammates following a few defensive stops. While Bogut's defense hasn't been a concern for the Warriors during their recent struggles, his offensive is often a question mark. Against the Pelicans, Bogut found a variety of ways to score — his usual dunks, a smooth hook from the baseline and an elbow jumper (!). Bogut needs to remind opponents that he can score, so they don't shade too far away from him on defense. He did a nice job establishing his presence early, allowing the Warriors more room on the interior to slash at the basket with Jason Smith or Lou Amundson forced to stick with their man.
- Forget Andre Iguodala's stat line. His biggest impact, as a steadying presence for the Warriors at both ends, was largely unquantifiable. On defense, the Warriors knew that Iguodala could handle Anderson in single coverage, leaving them free to focus on their own men rather than worry about shading over to provide help. More time at home on their own men resulted in better perimeter coverage, particularly for Thompson and Curry (who likely would have rotated down to help had Anderson's defender proven unable to handle him on the wing or block). On offense, Iguodala's judgment was on display as much in the careless or reckless plays the Warriors didn't make as a smart ones they did. While Iguodala had only 2 assists, he made decisions with the ball in his hands that help set up easy baskets. He often served as a gate-keeper, deciding whether to swing the ball into the post or keep it on the perimeter for Curry or Thompson. Those inflection points in the offense were often where Curry and the other Warriors made ill-advised passes, resulting in turnovers. Iguodala's care and intelligence in those situations helps everything flow more smoothly.
Unfortunately for the Warriors, as the starters returned to form, the bench returned to its old lead-squandering tricks. The late-third quarter/early-fourth quarter stumbles were particularly frustrating because they wiped out some earlier encouraging contributions. Toney Douglas' defense was superior and he did a relatively mistake-free job of distributing the ball. Marreese Speights fought for rebounds and scored on shots other than jumpers. Draymond Green was his usual hustling self. The problems took hold, it seemed, when the Warriors slowed down their offense and started focusing their work on the post. While Jackson had some decent mismatches to play with, the increased reliance on isolation seemed to discourage ball movement even when the Warriors weren't feeding the post. Players quickly started forcing up attempts without looking for ways to get teammates better opportunities. It didn't take many ill-advised shots for the Warriors' lead to be cut from the mid-20s to the low-teens, and for Jackson to reinsert the starters in a vote of no-confidence. With Barnes returning to the bench, Douglas starting to get regular minutes and Green thriving, the Warriors' reserves need to coalesce into something other than a bunch of mid-range jump shooters.
The Pelicans may have been easy marks for the Warriors' statement game, but that doesn't take away from the fact that Jackson's comments produced noticeable responses from his players. With so many empty words thrown around by everyone involved, it was encouraging to see the team's play speaking for itself.

One recommended position for relieving sciatic nerve pain is to lie on the side with the top leg bent and pulled up toward the chest, according to American Spine & PainMedGroup. One or two pillows are slid under the knee to support it.
To sleep on the back, one or more pillows are positioned under the knees, elevating them above hip level, states American Spine & PainMedGroup. When sleeping on the side or back, a pillow goes under the head to bring it into alignment with the spine. A warm shower or an ice pack on the lower back shortly before bed helps reduce pain. In addition, some patients need medication for pain or sleeplessness due to sciatica, University of Maryland Medical Center advises.

text: This hospitality project has stood the test of time and is perhaps closest to our hearts. Designed and produced in 2005, The Thomas Cubitt was our first iteration of classic and elegant 'country house style' public houses that would later become commonplace in the Capital's most sought-after neighbourhoods. We pushed the boundaries in this 3,500 sq ft unit, successfully blurring the lines between high-end restaurant and a relaxed local pub.

Have you seen the pumpkins sitting out in front of the grocery store? I love that sight.
Each year I delight in cracking open a pumpkin and giving it a personality with my knife and candle (sidebar). Being as this site is dedicated to owls, I thought it was only appropriate I seek out the coolest owl pumpkin idea and share it with you guys. This awesome creation comes from Martha Stewart, and is as simple as attaching pumpkins together with toothpicks. Their full instructions include adding lights, but that is entirely optional.
I can't wait to make these!

Max Payne 3
Max Payne 3 is the third game in the Max Payne third-person shooter franchise, developed by Rockstar Games and published by Take-Two interactive. Abandoning the film noir detective plotlines of previous games, it instead takes the story eight years after the events of Max Payne 2, with Max having quit the NYPD to become a private security guard for the rich and influential Branco family in São Paulo. Following a series of raids by mysterious armed thugs, Max finds himself on a rescue mission, but as ever things are more complicated than they seem.
The following weapons can be seen in the video game Max Payne 3:
Max Payne 3 dispenses with the mostly-limitless inventory of the prior games, instead allowing Max to carry two one-handed weapons and one two-handed weapon, which he will hold in his left hand if using a one-handed weapon. If he is not carrying a two-handed weapon he is able to dual-wield any combination of one-handed weapons he is carrying. Weapon reload animations are altered depending on Max's current loadout and whether or not he is in cover; awkward positioning results in longer reload times. Ammunition is for the most part divided by weapon class; for example, ammunition for the 5.56mm G36V also works in the 7.62mm FAL.
As with previous installments the game's gunplay is heavily influenced by Hong Kong action movies, with the same slow motion "bullet time" and "shootdodge" abilities, though Max will now collide heavily with objects and surfaces if he shootdodges into them rather than just brushing against them until the animation completes. While the game discards the "in the zone" mechanic of Max Payne 2 which allowed for showy slow-motion reloads, it retains the "bullet cam" showing the last enemy in a room's death, now rendered in far more grisly detail due to a new damage modelling system which shows both entry and exit wounds. As with previous games in the series, each bullet is treated as a physical projectile with defined speed rather than using hitscans.
Throughout the game, secret "gold" weapon parts can be found, each gold weapon requiring three parts. Typically the gold weapons have larger magazines, and sometimes are altered cosmetically to reflect this; occasionally a modelling glitch results in a weapon being displayed temporarily in a cutscene with the physical alterations (like Max tucking a standard PT92 into his shoulder holster and finding that it now has an extended magazine), while golden weapons do not appear as such in cutscenes but occasionally have the altered magazines, this time without the gold finish. Weapons can sometimes be found with modifications such as red dot scopes or flashlights, though in singleplayer the player has no influence over what upgrades they will have or when they will appear.
Colt M1911A1
The Colt M1911A1 (simply referred to as a 1911) is a fairly common handgun throughout the game. The gun is fired as if it is double-action-only, which is incorrect. The M1911 offers higher damage than the previous pistols, but only holds 8 rounds inside the magazine unless you find all the gold parts, which would increase the magazine capacity to 12. The first time the handgun is used is during the New York flashback levels
Glock 17
Full-auto Glock 17s are available in several levels as the Auto 9mm, and is the starting handgun in Chapter 11. These Glocks come with Glock 18C-style compensator ports on the top of the slide. Despite being modeled with the standard 17-round magazine, the Glock has a magazine capacity of 33 rounds. The Glock 17 has the same damage of that as the PT92 but offers faster rate of fire and magazine size (which when fully upgraded can have up to 45 rounds per magazine). Depending on the players progress, the model of the gun will have an extended magazine if all golden gun parts are found. Note that this is not a Glock 17C, as the Glock 17C has a completely different compensator design. When equipped, the weapon comes with a native customization allowing the user to switch from automatic firing to semi automatic firing modes (select on the PS3) despite lacking a selector lever.
IMI/Magnum Research Desert Eagle
The Desert Eagle makes a return in Max Payne 3 as the DE .50. The Desert Eagle shown in the game is a hybrid, with a Mark VII barrel (distinguished by the lack of scope rail mounts) but a Mark XIX slide (distinguished by the taller cocking serrations). Despite being in almost every promotional screenshot and concept art, the pistol only appears a handful of times with extremely limited ammunition; unusually for the game, it has its own unique ammunition supply rather than using the general reserve for pistols. One is also used by a Favela gang member in the beginning of Disc 2.
Smith & Wesson Model 20
The Smith & Wesson Model 20 Heavy Barrel is a common low-level handgun throughout the game, first seen in Chapter 2 in the hands of thugs on the dance floor and is Passos's weapon of choice during the first half of the first New Jersey flashback. The .38 offers higher stopping power than the PT92 but only holds 6 shells at a time. Interestingly, the cylinder does not rotate during "killcam" moments.
Taurus Model 608
The Taurus 608 is a relatively uncommon revolver, but found more commonly than the other magnum class handgun the Desert Eagle. Referred to as the 608 Bull. The "Bull" designation would suggest this is supposed to be the Taurus Raging Bull, but it's actually based on the model 608 as the in-game weapon is chambered for .357 and has an eight-shot capacity. Unlike the .38 Revolver which uses a speed loader. When the "killcam" focuses on the .608, the cylinder can be seen rotating.
Taurus PT92 AF
Standing in for Max's signature Beretta 92FS sidearm is its Brazilian cousin, the Taurus PT92 AF, where it appears under the correct moniker of "PT92." The PT92 shown in the game is a modern production version with large cocking serrations. Though it can be found with a flashlight, it does not have an accessory rail, the light simply being shown mounted to the bottom of the frame. The light - similarly to Battlefield 3 - can blind enemies when aimed at them. The PT92 is a more common pistol in the game, second to the Glock 17 for highest handgun magazine capacity. It can be seen in several variations through the single player, such as with wooden grips in Chapter 12. When infiltrating the derelict hotel, Max fits his PT92 with an improvised suppressor made from duct tape and a water bottle. While the suppressor lasts longer than it would in real life, it does lose effectiveness very quickly. After Max discards the suppressor, the tape remains wrapped around the gun.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5/40
The Heckler & Koch MP5/40 Called the "MPK" in-game. The weapon has the shape of a MP5 but the paddle magazine release is on the front of the magazine well. It also has straight magazines, similar to the MP5/40 or MP5/10; these normally contain 20 rounds, though the gold weapon ups this to 30.
IMI Mini/Micro UZI
A strange IMI Uzi hybrid is available throughout the game starting from the second chapter. While it has the appearance of a Mini Uzi with the folding stock removed, it is the size of a Micro Uzi. Called the Micro 9mm in-game.
Ingram MAC-10
The Ingram MAC-10 are commonly used by mob hitmen in the New York/New Jersey flashbacks, as the M10.
Taurus M972
The Taurus M972 is featured as the "M972". The folding stock and foregrip have been removed from the in-game weapon, to facilitate storage in Max's shoulder holsters. Found rather uncommonly in the game, first instance being during the Favela levels.
Taurus MT-40
The Taurus MT-40, a .40 caliber version of the Chilean FAMAE SAF built under license in Brazil, appears as the "SAF .40" fitted with a PDW-style folding stock. Mainly used by the UFE in their HQ toward the end of the game.
Benelli M4 Super 90
A Benelli M4 Super 90 is available throughout the game as the "M4 Super 90". It is shown with a 4-shot tube magazine, even for the "gold" version which has a capacity of 7 rounds.
Franchi SPAS-15
The Franchi SPAS-15 appears in the game as a high-level shotgun, first used by a mob hitman in the New York cemetery. The SPAS-15 holds less rounds and has more pellet spread than the Benelli M4, but it offers much faster reload times by holding those rounds in a detachable box magazine.
Mossberg 500 Cruiser
The Mossberg 500 Cruiser appears in the game as the "M500". It is seen with a pistol grip, wooden furniture, an aftermarket wire folding stock, and an extended magazine tube. Seen mostly by the lower gang echelon enemies in the game, this shotgun provides the fastest turn rate of all the shotguns, while sacrificing its accuracy at even mid range distances.
Remington 11-87
A Remington 11-87 with a pistol grip stock appears in game relatively uncommonly as the "Super Sport". Used by the Paramilitary group in the abandoned hotel.
Sawed-Off Remington SBS
A Sawed-Off Remington SBS appears a few times, referred to as simply the "Sawn-Off" and counted as a one-handed gun for inventory purposes. Max can, appropriately, find one in the hands of the bartender of a seedy strip club he shoots up in the Favela.
The AK-47 is available all throughout Brazil, commonly used by street thugs, although it is replaced by higher-end weapons towards the end of the game. The AK-47 is first found in the burnt out apartment building next to Max's apartment in the New York flash back levels. The AK-47 is also a starting weapon in the multiplayer mode. A modelling error means that it has the stamped receiver and straighter stock of an AKM, but the gas tube holes and lack of strengthening ribs like an AK-47.
The FN FAL is commonly used by Brazilian gangsters, paramilitary units and police; given the location it is probably supposed to be the IMBEL-manufactured M964 version, though this is just a standard FAL. Though it shares ammo with the 5.56mm weapons, it has a standard FAL magazine. This does not change on the gold version, despite the capacity increasing to 30 rounds.
Heckler & Koch G36V
The police special units use the Heckler & Koch G36V. The dual rows of gas vents (which should actually be a single row of serpentine vents) and low scope mount seem to indicate it is supposed to be an FX-05 Xiuhcoatl, but the ejection port placement indicates that in real life it would be a dressed-up G36. It is also fitted with a custom stock that appears to be a combination of the standard G36 skeletal stock and a standard solid stock. Called "G6 Commando" in-game. The golden upgrade has a Beta C-Mag that only holds 40 rounds; Brazilian paramilitary UFE can also be seen with this configuration, and sometimes their guns spawn with both the C-Mag and the normal magazine in place. Three regular G36s can be seen in the armory of the derelict hotel.
The IMBEL MD-97 LC is a fairly common assault rifle, mostly used by paramilitaries and the UFE. It's incorrectly designated as the "MD-97L". That designation is for the full-length rifle, which the MD-97 featured in-game is not.
IMI Galil ARM
The IMI Galil ARM with an unlockable red dot sight is added in the Painful Memories DLC pack.
IMI Tavor TAR-21
The IMI Tavor TAR-21 with an unlockable red dot sight and silencer is added in the Painful Memories DLC pack.
Ruger Mini-30
The Ruger Mini-30 makes its video-game debut as simply the "Mini-30", and is seen with a Butler Creek folding stock. It's mostly seen in the beginning of the game, including the first chapter, with a 10 round magazine. Though partway though the helicopter sequence, in a continuity error, Max is briefly shown with a 30-round curved magazine in his Mini-30. Several snipers use them with laser sights as late as the final chapter.
Colt Model 933
An Colt Model 933 assault rifle with optional red dot sight was added in the multiplayer DLC pack Local Justice. Notably, it has the carry handle removed and no rear sight installed (even when the red dot is not being used), which would make aiming very difficult.
Sniper Rifles
Barrett M107
Snipers use Barrett M107 anti-materiel rifles to ambush a deal in the soccer stadium in the third chapter. Max takes a round to the shoulder from one, but thanks to the magic of video games Passos is able to patch him up with just some bandages and a bottle of painkillers. Max uses an M107 later in the chapter to cover Passos and the rifle is seen used by snipers several times, including by Passos himself.
Heckler & Koch G3SG/1
A scoped Heckler & Koch G3SG/1 appears as the FMP G3S. The lack of cheek rest on the stock indicates that it's a scoped G3 instead of a G3SG/1 or MSG90.
The 7.62mm version of Brazil's new service rifle in its sniper configuration with unlockable scope. Added in the Hostage Negotiation DLC pack.
M24 Sniper Weapon System
The M24 with an unlockable silencer. Added in the Hostage Negotiation DLC pack.
Machine Guns
With both machine guns, the reload animations show Max mounting a new drum/belt box and pulling the charging handle, but do not have a stage showing him mounting the new belt, which is simply shown in the mounted position on the drum/belt box model itself as it is inserted.
Heckler & Koch HK21
The Heckler & Koch HK21 with the bipod is seen several times as the LMG .30. In a speedboat chase it is used with a belt box and has unlimited ammo, while later levels have it with an RPD-style 100-round drum and limited ammunition, usually only having at time about 33 rounds left in the magazine even if the enemy holding the weapon is killed before using it once. Several times, heavily armored enemies are encountered wielding the HK21, holding it by the stock and somehow firing it.
The RPD with the bipod removed appears in the game starting in Chapter 12. The 100-round drum only holds 75 rounds on the normal version of the weapon, though the "gold" version has the correct capacity.
DefTech 37mm Launcher
The DefTech 37mm Launcher appears as the Rotary Grenade Launcher with a 6-round cylinder, available in a few levels. It is most prominently given to Max in the final chase sequence with 100 rounds of ammunition. As with the grenades shown in the game, rounds from this weapon have a flashing light added to make them easier to see, and can be shot down with gunfire. Getting dropped into last stand with this weapon is a death sentence due to the slow projectile velocity.
The M72A2 LAW appears as the LAW and is used in Chapter 13 to destroy an armored UFE truck. It is correctly depicted as a single shot weapon, but an NPC gangster using one is accidentally holding an invisible RPG foregrip (Max and all others use it correctly).
The RPG-7 appears as the RPG. The weapon is used by enemies in singleplayer, but can never be picked up.
In several points in the game, the player comes across several cabinets and lockers of unusable firearms. Some that appear are the Mossberg 590 with wooden furniture, Ruger Mini-14 GB with wooden stock and an MP5A3.

I tremble to return to the subject of the Frost family, if only because so many e-mailers in the last 72 hours seem to confuse a debate on health care with an analysis of my sexual inadequacy and the accommodational capacity of my posterior. But here's my, er, bottom line: I am opposed in general to government entitlements; and, insofar as we have to have them, I prefer them to be at state level, which at least injects an element of competition and choice into the system; and, insofar as we have to have state entitlements, they should be finely targeted and properly means-tested.
The Frosts will be out of the news in a day or two but the government program they're demanding will be forever. So, given that Nancy Pelosi held them up as emblematic of "the type of working-poor Americans that the program was intended to help", it's entirely appropriate to consider how emblematic they are. Both The Baltimore Sun and The New York Times have stories on the Frosts this morning, and the interesting point is the matter of whether they do, in any useful sense, represent the "working poor":
Mr. Frost works intermittently in woodworking and as a welder, while Mrs. Frost has a part-time job at a firm that provides services to publishers of medical journals.
Mr Frost works "intermittently". The unemployment rate in the Baltimore metropolitan area is four-percent. Perhaps he chooses to work "intermittently," just as he chooses to send his children to private school, and chooses to live in a 3,000-square-foot home. That's what free-born citizens in democratic societies do: choose. Sometimes those choices work out, and sometimes they don't. And, when they don't and catastrophe ensues, it's appropriate that the state should provide a safety net. But it should be a safety net of last resort, and it's far from clear that it is in this case.
Speaking of choices, young Graeme Frost demands President Bush should choose between Iraq and government health care. I'm not persuaded the Frost family are the best judges of the nation's choices. Middle-class entitlement addiction, as the French President and Prime Minister have recently made plain, is unsustainable even in the wealthiest societies. The Frosts are entitled to make their choices. The President has to choose the broader interest.

RESIDENTS in the area have been told how the police have
successfully beefed up their resources to fight crime across the Wokingham district — but many officers now have little experience.
Mick Hart, sector sergeant with Wokingham Police, was speaking at a meeting of the Woodley Police Liaison Group last week.
He said: "At the moment, in the Reading with Wokingham area, we do not have any vacancies."
He added that North Oxfordshire police had a
reputation as a successful police force but they had
mistakenly been given more officers than Reading with Wokingham.
Although there were 38 constables in training, Sgt Hart said: "We have become the
training school for England and Wales because of a
situation we find ourselves in through no fault of our own.
"It is the cost of living here and because at the Metropolitan Police you can earn £6,000 more for going up the road and doing the same job."
He said the new officers were joining the force at the rate of five per month, but around 75 per cent now had less than two years service.
"Officers are leaving and being replaced by raw recruits," he said.
Two vacancies had come up for beat officers to cover Sonning and Wokingham town centre, but Sgt Hart said: "Apart from that we are up to strength which is a position we've not been in for a long time."
As for overall levels of crime in Woodley, Sgt Hart said there was an average of five crimes a day and three of these involved motor vehicles.
"This is one of the simplest things we can stop," Sgt Hart said.
"If you don't leave
anything in your car then nothing will get stolen."
He said burglaries were "unlikely to happen" as there were two a day on average across the entire Wokingham district.

Justice Smith To Play A Role In Jurassic World 2
The Get Down's Justice Smith has joined the cast of Jurassic World 2 as a scientist in the planned science fiction film.
In addition to his work on the aforementioned series, Smith is known for his role as Radar in the movie adaptation of John Green's popular novel Paper Towns. He will work under director J.A. Bayona, who has already assembled a cast that includes veterans of the franchise as well as other newcomers:
Bayona, whose latest, A Monster Calls, opens later this month, will direct the Jurassic World sequel from a script by Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly. Justice Smith will join a cast that includes returning stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard alongside Toby Jones and Rafe Spall. Frank Marshall and Steven Spielberg will produce the film, which is scheduled for a release on June 22, 2018.
Trevorrow previously revealed the quote from the original Jurassic Park that inspired their idea for the sequel, which comes from Sam Neil's Alan Grant: "Dinosaurs and man, two species separated by 65 million years of evolution have just been suddenly thrown back into the mix together. How can we possibly have the slightest idea what to expect?"
"Every story is different and you need to find the depth of every story and try to express it on the screen," Bayona recently told CS.

While many have suggested that Sachin Tendulkar has overstayed his presence in international cricket, former Australia wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist feels otherwise and said it is not only about the runs, but his mere presence has meant a lot for the team.
Mentioning how Ricky Ponting, who despite not scoring much towards the end of his career, was a big help to his team-mates, Gilchrist said Tendulkar too would have have played a very important role in terms of sharing his immense knowledge of the game with some of the youngsters in the Indian team.
"What Sachin has been contributing to that Indian team is special. It is not just about the runs. Ricky Ponting contributed well in his last few years for Australia by just being there in the dressing room, the learning and education he passed on to the youngsters. Sachin has been of the similar mindset, his commitment and professionalism would have had a great effect on the team. I am sure the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan will vouch for that."
Tendulkar is all set to bow out from international cricket with the India v West Indies Test starting on the 14th November at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai being his last match. Gilchrist said the timing of his retirement has matched perfectly with his 200th Test. "I think it (the retirement) has fallen perfectly with his 200th Test in Mumbai. I would say his timing as usual is class."
When asked which was Tendulkar's stand-out knock that he had seen from close quarters, Gilchrist joked: "My best on-field memory of Tendulkar is when he got out cheaply against us in the 2003 World Cup final."
The 41-year-old, on a serious note, mentioned that Tendulkar's knock during the Boxing Day Test in the 1999 Australian summer was one of pure class.
"I remember the Boxing Day Test. It was dark, drizzly and cold. The ball was moving around. It was Brett Lee's debut game and he was all charged up, bowling at 150 kmph with success. We had India in trouble as it was often the case in the series, but Sachin played a masterful knock and kept the fight going," Gilchrist said.
"It may not technically be his best knock but after seeing that I realised quickly he was true class," the stumper said of Tendulkar's 116 in a lost cause.
When it comes to Gilchrist and Tendulkar, talks of "Monkey-gate" will not be far as the former wicket-keeper along with Ponting had questioned the little master's role in the matter conerning Harbhajan Singh and Andrew Symonds.
Gilchrist, while not wanting to speak much about that, said: "You can't change what happened but I hope it doesn't affect the rivalry of both teams."
'Tendulkar timed his retirement well'
While many have suggested that Sachin Tendulkar has overstayed his presence in international cricket, former Australia wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist feels otherwise and said it is not only about the runs, but his mere presence has meant a lot for the team.

Yet Another Council to Cut Office Space
Somerset County Council have become the latest in a string of government organisations to announce changes in the way they use their existing office space ΓÇô having approved plans to empty 40% of its office space as part of a ΓÇ£property rationalization programmeΓÇ¥ according to Publicpropertyuk.com.
The scheme, which is referred to as the councils Office of the Future Project, will aim to free up some 230,000 sq. ft. of council office space – with the empty office buildings possibly being sold off in order to help cut a reported £400m debt held by the Council.
Should the scheme prove successful new working methods and property sharing arrangements will be used to accommodate the 3,000 + staff currently based in the office space.
Only today we covered a story about ΓÇ£grace and favourΓÇ¥ apartments in Whitehall, previously used by the likes of John Prescott and Winston Churchill, facing the possibility of being converted to office space as part of the new governments cost-cutting. In addition the Conservative / Liberal Democrat led city council in Birmingham have also introduced a scheme to streamline the way employees use council owned office space.

Cannot restore image
My pc suddenly stopped booting (as in, no boot. Failing pre load checks or something).
Anyways, the problem has been narrowed down to a faulty GPU card. With it removed, pc booted fine, but did not load into windows ( blinking underscore on a black page)
After using recovery cd i discovered that no system can be detected by it - even though the drive itself is detected, and all files including win installation are fine.
After some unsuccessful attemps to fix it, i realised i had a very recent ( 3 days old) system image saved on external hard drive (default windows backup image of the whole system drive). However when trying to restore the system from image, the recovery cd tells me that NO DISK THAT CAN BE USED FOR RECOVERING THE SYSTEM DISK CAN BE FOUND. Even though its THE SAME disk that had the windows install on it.
After some googling i found some solutions (diskpart, select drive, clean, the. Retry) but it didnt work. After doing the clean, image restore tells me that the system needs to finish preparing the drive for install and needs a reboot. After rebooting it again tells me that no usable disk can be found.
I did a full secure erase, but the problem is still exactly the same. Right now i have a system restore image, but no way to use it. Any help?
System drive: 256 crucial m4 ssd
System image stored on: 1tb seagate external usb drive
Windows version : 7 64 pro ( fully legal, licensed, etc)
Any help will be really appreciated, cheers
Ps dont know if it matters, but i also have two other internal 1tb drives that contain my documents, data etc. i did not, however, include them in the system image snapshot - they were NOT backed up in any way. Right now, they are disconnected, as i do not want windows to somehow erase data on them.

Dear vistaking
The issue is not that the system image is corrupt - its perfectly fine, the issue is that the system restore doesnt let me restore the image to the hard drive, same one i used before.
|My System Specs
|14 Feb 2013
What does the error message say ? If it gives you one . Does the BIOS see the SSD? You might want to add drivers when you are trying to restore the image.

I quoted the error in my original post. The drive can be detected by both bios and the recovery disk ( in cmd i can use diskpart /list disk and see the ssd drive)

Old North
Throughout London's history, Old North (together with Woodfield) has been recognized as the city's preeminent residential neighbourhood. Nestled between the Downtown and Western University, it has long been home to educators and leading businesspersons.
The predominant form of housing in Old North is the large two-storey brick home, usually with four or more bedrooms, situated on large lots with mature trees.
Old North is a true heritage treasure for the city of London and, indeed, a part of the neighbourhood (the Hellmuth – St. James area) had the honour of being designated as London's first Heritage Conservation District.
In 2012, the average selling price of homes in Old North was $359.020 on sales of 158 properties, excluding private sales.

Vancouver, British Columbia, First Mexican Gold Corp. (the `Company` or `FMG`) (TSX-V: FMG, Frankfurt: 21M) is pleased to announce the arrival of a second diamond drill rig at its Guadalupe property in southeast Sonora State, Mexico.
While the Company continues ongoing drilling of BTW core at numerous prospects within the Guadalupe property, on August 11th Rig #2 began drilling a minimum 1,200 metres (5 to 6 holes) of HQ core to evaluate four high priority target areas, within the known Diana, Karen East, Erica, and Bailey zones of mineralization.
Rig #2 has initially been deployed at the first of the next two hole locations planned for the Diana zone. This first hole, HDH 11-18, is planned to drill to a depth of 300 metres to test the western extent of a very significant 1,700 metre long +100 metre wide chargeability anomaly discovered earlier this year using a 3D IP (Induced Polarization) survey, and strongly correlated with three earlier drill holes (HDH 11-09 thru HDH 11-11), which have already delineated 400 metres along the anomaly's eastern extension.
The second hole to be drilled at the Diana zone, during this phase, aims to test a secondary offset chargeability and possible enrichment zone lying northwest from Diana's western most extension. With these two holes, the Company intends to confirm that the Diana zone represents a minimum 1,700 meter long mineralized zone, with very strong potential for a near surface low dilution low grade bulk mineable Gold and Silver deposit. If successful, the Company will target the Diana zone with a resource drilling program to begin later in the Fall.
Subsequent to the completion of the two drill holes at the Diana zone, Rig #2 will drill the next hole at the newly discovered Karen East zone (as referenced in our June 20, 2011 news release) to a minimum depth of 200 meters. The Company has interpreted Karen East as being a vent associated to the mineralization which provided the excellent drill results encountered with earlier drilling at the Karen zone, located some 300 meters West and downhill from Karen East.
The fourth hole of the Rig #2 drilling program is planned for the Erica zone, targeted to drill the first of two known chargeability highs to a minimum depth of 300 meters at the northern extent of the chargeability anomaly. Although the first four holes (HDH 11-12 thru 11-15) drilled at the Erica zone have not returned significant assay results, they have added greatly to our understanding in the area. With this fourth hole the Company expects to better determine the physical and mineralized nature of the structure responsible for the Erica zone's chargeability anomaly, before finalizing the design of future drill holes.
The fifth hole is designated for the Bailey zone, to test the strong surface expression of mineralization and host rock around historical workings known to have produced high grade copper.
Depths to 300 metres are expected on selected holes. All locations within Rig #2's initial 1,200 metre program are considered high priority and have not been previously drilled. Multiple areas of interest for future HQ drilling are being evaluated.
Jim Voisin, President & CEO remarks "In light of these prevailing market conditions, we are delighted to begin drilling this next 1,200 metres of HQ drilling. The targets for each of these five holes in the four zones specified above are based on some very strong and correlating supporting data from our earlier work. Success in the next two holes at the Diana zone alone will offer the Company and, therefore, its shareholders, significant upside exploration potential to confirming the possibility of a sizeable low dilution bulk mineable gold and silver deposit."
Ongoing road construction to access the contiguous area acquired earlier in the year through a joint venture with Kootenay Gold Inc. is progressing as expected, with completion scheduled for mid- to late August. Upon completion of this road construction, the Company will immediately begin extensive sampling and line cutting in preparation of another +/-30 line kilometres of 3D IP survey to be carried by SJ Geophysics in November of this year. The Company will use the good results obtained from previous sampling by Kootenay Gold in this area (as referenced in the Company's February 14, 2011news release) to assist in designing the planned 3D IP survey.
John Archibald, PGeo, of Billiken Management Services Inc., a qualified person pursuant to NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure of this press release on behalf of the Company.
First Mexican Gold Corp is an active explorer for precious metals in Mexico and holds an option to acquire 80% interest in the Guadalupe property package from (MIMSA) a wholly owned subsidiary of International Millennium Mining Corp (IMI-TSX-V). The Company now controls a total of 15,112 hectares in this high potential exploration area.

Long-Awaited Authority Audit to be Released in Days
Mayor Ravenstahl at the time called some of the documented spending "questionable at best", expressing concern but pointedly not "jumping to any conclusions". After immediately demanding an internal review of HACP spending, Ravenstahl later upped the ante by asking for a formal audit by the City Controller.
That audit was completed at least two months ago, says Controller Michael Lamb -- but it has yet to be released to the public.
"I'm not sure why that's being held up," said Lamb. "You'd have to ask the Reverend about that."
Rev. Ricky Burgess, a Pittsburgh City Councilman, chairs the city Housing Authority. He was appointed by Mayor Ravenstahl to replace ousted URA director Patrick Ford in that role months after the allegations of HACP misspending surfaced and instigated reviews.
"It should be out in one day, two days at the latest," Burgess told the Comet in response to inquiries. "In fact, [the Controller's office] should have that back by now."
All Controller's office audits must ultimately be made public -- but all government bodies which are audited are given the opportunity to "respond" to the findings before they are released.
Annabelle Kinney, an attorney at the Controller's office, says that there is no legal deadline for submitting responses, but the eleven weeks it has so far taken HACP verges on "ridiculous".
"It's important that audits be timely," said Kinney. "The information needs to be relevant."
Burgess referred the work of considering the Housing Authority's response to a special internal audit committee, which resulted in part of the delay.
"I can't answer that," Burgess said regarding concerns over the time lag. "All I can say is, I'm new at this, and I've made sure I've done my due diligence."
The Housing Authority is likely once again to fall under the microscope for its expenditures. An estimated $28 million in federal stimulus money is coming its way, a sum expected to dwarf other city authorities and departments. Approximately $4.54 million of that has already been dispersed by its board on construction-related contracts, including widening entryways and easing accessibility.
Meanwhile, new legislation authored by Councilman Bill Peduto would set up a local stimulus oversight panel, charged with ensuring that all of Pittsburgh's governmental instruments are spending federal public dollars wisely.
"I have no confidence that the Housing Authority is going to spend that money wisely," says Matt Hogue, the former HACP employee who originally brought forward the allegations of wasteful spending -- including reports of $2000 laptop computers, monogrammed umbrellas and windbreakers, and costly live performances for charity events. "I guess you could say I have no confidence in the leaders at 200 Ross St."
"It's long, long overdue," Hogue said of the audit.

Interesting timing. What are the chances that the primary had anything to do with holdup?ReplyDelete
I said before, and I will say again, that two grand is only a bit high for a laptop, depending on intended purpose. But I remember that Matt H had copies of a lot of other invoices that were, in my view, clearly improper. I think Bram's reference to Peduto's proposed stimulus oversight panel takes on a whole new meaning when coupled with the amount of money HACP is getting. The results of the audit should be a reason for the State, County and City to overhaul the HACP. Except that ain't gonna happen.ReplyDelete

I really don't care about all this Hoagie commentary... but he did have one of the greatest quotes I heard on radio in some time. When he was interviewed by Marty on this and talking about the $2,000 laptops his quote was something like "Where do they get these computers? From NASA?!".ReplyDelete
and wasn't one of the other allegedly eggregious things some spending on a band or something that really had been funded by a local foundation.
But I do wonder what NASA pays for computers. Probably add a zero there somewhere.

Chances Peduto's SOARING failure has any oversight on authorities: 0%. Which is slightly higher than the oversight it will have on stimulus spending from PennDot or the School Board or the County in the City or County Authorities like Alcosan or the Port Authority.ReplyDelete

2012 Toyota Prius C: Fuel Economy Update for March
April 2, 2013
Not sure what I did to help the cause, but the average lifetime mileage of our 2012 Toyota Prius C edged up to 44.8 miles per gallon in March. Pretty impressive given that this little hatchback needs a serious helping of right foot to get it up to speed on the highway.
Like the standard Prius, the Prius C manages to deliver its huge fuel economy numbers no matter how hard you drive it. Go light on the pedal and I'm sure it would have no problem hitting its claimed 50 mpg mark.
Worst Fill MPG: 29.0
Best Fill MPG: 56.2
Average Lifetime MPG: 44.8
EPA MPG Rating (City/Highway Combined): 50
Best Range: 473.7 miles
Current Odometer: 13,487 miles
