A Connoisseur yet again selects Recovery World trucks
Recovery World has supplied Watford based Connoisseur Recovery with 2 x Iveco 7.5 tonne tilt and slide trucks. The crew cab trucks were delivered in February with finance provided by Shawbrook Bank, ready for the new 19 registrations and forming part of the Connoisseur program to update and renew its fleet with more vehicles that are Euro6 compliant and ready to work in London.
Connoisseur Recovery is a family run business led by Mark Woodward and with its fleet of over 40 vehicles covers Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and much of North London from its bases in Watford and Hemel Hempstead.
Mark Woodward said that he keeps returning to Recovery World for his trucks "because they provide a good product at a very competitive price and they deliver on time". He added that "dealing with a relatively small company means that it is easier to talk to the right people. Mac Engledew and the rest of the Recovery World team is always available and ready to advise on or assist with any aspect of the vehicle order.
The new trucks are the latest of several vehicles that Recovery World has supplied to Connoisseur joining a Fiat 3.5 tonne beavertail delivered last March and another 4 over the last 3 years.
The new 7.5tonne trucks are both Recovery World RW35A vehicles which boast a host of features including Aluminium platform together with galvanised slidebed subframe and beacon flyer for durability. The 8000lb winch (with radio remote) and the rotator light bar are just some of the extras that make this one of the best value trucks on the market.

IoT and Wearables
Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable devices require small form factors, high efficiency andwireless connectivity. Conventional off-chip power management increases area, cost and electromagnetic noise interference (EMI).
Replacing off-chip power management with on-chip LDOs address the area, cost and noise issues, but reduce system efficiency from 80% to less than 30% – more than tripling the wasted power in the system.

Fighting Through The Food Comaon April 29, 2013 at 12:01 am
Oh my gosh. After that wonderful meal and not sleeping all night, even WITH the many cups of coffee, I was ready to go to bed. But I knew I couldn't squander any of my precious little time in Iceland! My plan was to walk to downtown Reykjavik and explore the main shopping (and eating!) areas. : )

Last week, I wavered about whether to include a line from Tommy Boy in a brief that I was drafting:
"I tell ya what. If you don't know how to fasten your seatbelt, just raise your hand and I'll have Tommy Boy here come back there and hit you in the head with a tack hammer."
Ultimately, I decided that it was bad form. One could reasonably construe my use of that quote as antagonizing and bit snarky. Moi?!?
So, I'm using it for this blog post instead. Continue reading

Starting a relationship the summer before college
5 End-of-Semester Dating Situations & How to Deal With Them | Her Campus
Between study abroad trips, summer internships and graduation, many girls often has never been an issue before in the blissful bubble that is your college town, After agreeing to keep the relationship "open" before leaving, Rex found that. Avoid making the same mistake we did: ditch your partner before freshers' week and Don't even think about starting university in a relationship while doing her undergraduate degree at the London College of Fashion. Would you see any point in starting a new relationship? university, or if they were younger and still had a year left of school/college. . few weeks before I left and agreed it should stay as a summer thing, rather than try and.
Between study abroad trips, summer internships and graduation, many girls often find themselves faced with some tough decisions regarding their significant other come the end of the semester. Take a look at the various situations you may find yourself in come May, and our guide on what to consider when handling each one. What if you and your boyfriend accept positions in different cities and have to live apart for the first time in years?
Or perhaps you two are from different areas and plan on going back home after graduating? Lieberman went on to mention the often unacknowledged benefit that can accompany such a huge change: You want to be together out of love — not out of fear… you will come to resent [your significant other] for limiting your opportunities.
And if you do get lucky and find a job in the same area?
Don't even think about starting university in a relationship
You and your boyfriend both have exciting plans for the summer… in completely different cities. Though we stayed together throughout that time, part of me wishes we would have taken a break for the three months we were apart… I would have had more time to actually enjoy my summer. Boston University collegiette Hannah Rex found herself in this situation when her guy accepted a job in Los Angeles and she opted to stay in Boston.
By the end of the summer we were very much an exclusive couple. While a solid effort is necessary for any relationship to work, if you begin to feel your long distance love is holding you back from fully enjoying your experience, it may be better to spend your summer unattached.
I'm staying at school in Pittsburgh and he's moving to Atlanta to start working in a temporary position… but he's working to get closer to where I am.
Lieberman gave us some important things to consider in regards to this tricky scenario.
Don't even think about starting university in a relationship | Education | The Guardian
But once graduation rolls around, every couple needs to decide whether they want to stay together or part ways before college. They run the gamut from sad to infuriating, awkward to embarrassing, no matter who chose to end it. But staying together for college isn't a cake walk, either. The transition to college is exhilarating and terrifying at the same time, and can seriously strain a relationship.
It may seem like there's no easy way to handle the situation, but here are 10 things to consider before you make a final decision: Are you dedicated to staying in constant contact? Between classes, clubs and friends, college life is hectic. It can be hard to find the time to squeeze in a text or a phone call, especially when you could be hanging out with new friends or attending your school's big game. Are you both strong communicators now? If so, you might work out in college -- but if not, one of you will get frustrated with the increased silence sooner or later.
If your relationship will be long distance, is that feasible? Long-distance relationships aren't impossible, but they aren't exactly fun, either. If you aren't willing to spend a few days every months traveling back and forth to visit each other, a breakup might be best. And in between visits, frequent communication is key in order to stay in touch. Is a round-trip visit possible to do in one weekend?
Can you afford to travel back and forth?
Will both of your dorms allow overnight guests? Will you regret missing out on fun events on your own campus? Consider these issues carefully. Are your post-graduation plans on the same track?6 SIGNS YOU'RE NOT READY FOR A RELATIONSHIP!
You're going to college, but he's joining the military, or you're going to college, but she can't afford to. In high school, you more or less do the same things as your peers. But when you're cramming for midterms or rushing Greek life, will your boyfriend or girlfriend understand what you're going through?
If you're heading towards radically different places in life, they might not. Are you both starting college at the same time? A year might not feel like a big age gap, but when one person is in college and one is in high school, it can feel like you're living in two separate worlds. If you used to bond over your equal loathing of the school cafeteria's soggy pizza or your high school's drama department, will you still feel like you have enough in common once one of you heads off to college?
Have trust or jealousy ever been issues between you? How would you react if you saw a Facebook photo of your high school sweetheart looking verrry flirty with someone else?

Nice review. I remember finding this one dull and heavy-handed (especially John Mills muttering about "the final solution to the Zulu question") but it might stand a rewatch.ReplyDelete
I can see why you might feel that way. It does have those elements, but my research proved that it is refreshingly accurate in covering a depressing subject (for most). The truth is that the British were stilted and heavy-handed in reality.Delete
Seeing it on Blu-Ray was a revelation.. Much better than I remember. Highly recommended to any fan of "Zulu".ReplyDelete
Spent seven weeks on the set as an "extra" - mostly during the battle sequences. Got to meet many of the top actors, who were amazing, down-to-earth chaps. The massive amount of organisaton and preparation for the major battle scenes made me really appreciate how challenging it is to shoot a movie of this nature. Some days, after 3 days of preparation, a scene lasting just 12 seconds would emerge... Four days to shoot 12 seconds of film...ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing. Interesting stuff. I've learned a lot about movie making since starting this blog. One thing has been the amount of time and effort that goes into the production. It sure is a lot more time consuming than I thought. That's why I get upset with a talent like Peter Jackson wastes so much time on a movie like "King Kong".Delete

I must disagree that Zulu Dawn is more accurate than Zulu. It really isn't. Both are inaccurate movie license films. Zulu Dawn probably has even more inventions and fantasies than Zulu. There is so much wrong with Zulu Dawn from a historical perspective. If feels as if it is an apology for Durnford when the reality is that he shares much of the blame for the defeat.
Unfortunately the film relied heavily on the outdated Donald Morris book The Washing Of The Spear, much of which has now been shown to be outdated and inaccurate.
I'll look into this.Delete
I can give you plenty of examples of the film's inaccuracy. Long post this will be but:
1. Chelmsford and Durnford never even met again after the invasion into Zululand began nearly 2 weeks before Isandlwana. They certainly did not have a meeting in Chelmsford's tent on the night of the 21st/22nd. All communication between them was via letter. Chelmsford had already left with half the column at 4.30 a.m, some 6 hours before Durnford first arrived at the camp.
2. Durnford's 5 troops of Native Horse were with him at the time of the invasion. None of them crossed into Zululand with Chelmsford 2 weeks before Isandlwana. They all arrived at Isandlwana with Durnford at 10.00 am on the morning of the 22nd.
3. William Vereker was not a horseman with the Native Horse troops. He was with the Natal Native Contingent and was on foot. He died in the camp as he could not find a horse to escape on. He was not amongst those who spotted the main Zulu impi.
4. Durnford never received any intelligence about Zulu movements north of the camp. He knew nothing about the Zulu disposition until he arrived at Isandlwana at 10.00 a.m on the 22nd where he was informed by Col Pulleine of large numbers of Zulus seen north and north east of the camp between 7.00 a.m and 9.30 a.m. Nor did Durnford need to tell the camp to picket the hills. This had already been done in the proceeding days.
5. Absolutely nothing is mentioned in the film about Major Dartnell with over 100 mounted men and Capt Lonsdale with 1,600 NNC going out as a recon patrol force to the hills to the southeast on the 21st, the day before the battle. This force encountered large numbers of Zulus which were assumed to be the vanguard of the main impi. This large force had to spend the night in the hills and Major Dartnell sent Chelmsford a note requesting support from 24th Foot infantry companies. Chelmsford received this note about 2.00 a.m on the 22nd. This was the whole reason why Chelmsford split his forces and went off at 4.30 a.m on the morning of the 22nd. Had the recon patrol with it's 1,600 native fighters been attacked and wiped out by the Zulus then the entire invasion would have been ruined. Chelmsford was in a bit of a quandary.
6. The film shows the rocket battery only about 300 meters in front of the tents. In reality the poor rocket battery was ordered by Durnford to go out and support him attacking the Zulus. The rocket battery ended up over 3km away from the camp where it was isolated and annihilated by Zulu gunfire. It was nowhere near the camp. Durnford had ordered it way out from the camp.
7. Very little is shown of the Zulu's use of guns. In reality the Zulus had more guns than the British, around 4,000. Some 1 in 4 or 1 in 5 Zulus were armed with guns in all the battles of the Anglo Zulu War.
8. The ammo situation is one of the big myths. In fact the infantry companies had plenty of ammo at the firing lines so ammo was certainly taken out to them. The only ones who ran out of ammo on the front lines were Durnford's men and Durnford did not take precautions to establish where his on ammo wagon would be. Durnford rode out after the Zulus at 11.30 am before his ammo wagon (following behind very slowly)arrived At Isandlwana.
9. The film wrongly shows the end of the 24th Foot infantry. In reality, apart from G Company 2/24th (which was exposed and isolated by Durnford's retreat from the donga) the 5 infantry companies of 1/24th on the whole retreated slowly and reasonably in order back to the camp where they made last stands back to back in quite large numbers and it took quite a while for the Zulus to overcome them, as testified by the Zulus. It was certainly not all over very quickly as portrayed in the film. The infantry companies still had ammo left and they made the Zulus pay dearly during those last stands in clusters.
10. Col Pulleine was not stabbed in his tent writing a letter (another officer was though) but was killed near the infantry firing lines while commanding the battle. He was shot by a Zulu 'over'. Many Zulu bullets missed the defending infantry companies and went over them into the camp. Maori Browne (the gruff fella in the white fur coat in the film) saw Pulleine's dead body out near the firing line and all eye witness account point to the fact that Pulliene was nowhere near the headquarters tents when the battle was getting towards it's climax. He was out by the firing line and was shot. Melville was also overheard telling Coghill when they were saving the colours that Pulleine had been shot.
These 10 points are just for starters. I won't even go into details regarding the silliness of the captured Zulus and their subsequent escape subplot nor the overall apologising for Durnford who in reality must take a large share of the blame for the defeat. Pulleine was under orders to defend the camp. Durnford, when he arrived, should have taken over command and should have acted on the defensive but he went out recklessly to engage the Zulus and told Pulleine he expected to be supported. Pulleine was then obliged to send his infantry companies further out onto the plain in oder to protect Durnford from getting cut off from the camp. Left to his own devises, Pulleine would have initiated a much closer defensive perimeter, just as he did earlier that morning after circa 4,000 Zulus were spotted by a colonial observer at 7.00 a.m. Pulleine then gave the order for the infantry to 'stand to' right in front of the tents, which they did for 2 and a half hours until Durnford arrived and gave the order for the troops to be stood down. Durnford really upset the apple cart with his refusal to act on the defensive and his overeagerness to ride straight at the Zulus miles away from camp. He went over 5 km out, chasing after them with just a couple hundred men.
John, can you tell me your source(s) so I can use them for a future History or Hollywood post?Delete
John, did you see my original History or Hollywood post from Feb., 2015?Delete
""John, did you see my original History or Hollywood post from Feb., 2015?""
I thought I had read all of it but just noticed that you also wrote:
""The biggest artistic license is in the captured/tortured prisoners. The movie takes some liberties in the movements of the various units (or rather the actors) and compresses time as per a battle movie.""
Plaudits for that. Cheers. Best wishes.
Various sources including Ian Knight's books, the Quantrill and Lock book but above and beyond all of them is Col Mike Snook's excellent work called How Can Man Die Better which is just about the best work ever done on Isandlwana. It dispels the myths, makes great sense of the confusion and he writes from the perspective of a professional soldier and what almost certainly happened as opposed to guesses from the uninformed.

Report: Broncos Fire Offensive Coordinator Mike McCoy
The Denver Broncos have fired offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.
After a 3-1 start to the season, Denver has lost six consecutive games after losing to the Cincinnati Bengals 20-17 on Sunday. The Broncos have scored just 18.3 points per game this season, the ninth-worst mark in the league. During their six-game skid, Denver has scored 14.2 points per contest.
McCoy joined the Broncos this season after servings as the head coach of the then-San Diego Chargers from 2013-16. The 45-year-old previously served as the Broncos offensive coordinator from 2009-2012, but left the job for San Diego.
Quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave will replace McCoy and serve as the offensive coordinator, according to ESPN. Musgrave is also in his first season with the staff after spending the past two seasons as the Raiders' offensive coordinator.
On Sunday, Rapoport reported that frustration was building in Denver with the Broncos offensive scheme, as owner John Elway was reportedly upset with the complex nature of the playbook.
Denver (3-7) sits in last place in the AFC West and have faced significant inconsistencies on offense this season, particularly at the offensive line and quarterback positions. The Broncos play the division rival Raiders at the Oakland Coliseum on Sunday.

Would you love to have a well-toned body? Are you wishing to get rid of those extra inches you are carrying around as additional baggage? Do you think that all you need is a well built muscular body and a great stamina and endurance? Well, to achieve any of these you need to undergo rigorous training sessions, hours spent at the gym, enormous amount of aerobics/weight training and a strict diet to accompany all this.
Sounds mind boggling? Microcurrent through its natural body sculpting sessions presents before you the ultimate in well-toned body! It is by far the most natural, easy and zero pain effort to achieve a healthy, well-toned tight body and the best thing is that it is FDA approved.
The technology
The Microcurrent technology uses deliverance of current in very small amounts (micro, Pico, and Nano!) to the body. This current mimics body's own electrical system and hence acts as a stimulus in kick starting a plethora of physiological processes governing the performance, growth, maintenance of a healthy body. The Microcurrent delivered at specific muscle points on the body and face improves the biochemical fitness of the body. The body treatment performs an intense anaerobic workout and vigorous exercise that ultimately results in inch loss, enhanced muscle strength, increased elasticity and reduction of damaged tissue.
What it can do to your body?
The natural Microcurrent body sculpting has been efficiently used for the tightening and toning of skin, muscle building, inch loss, skin refinement and wrinkle reduction. If you want to go for a body sculpting then the results that you should be looking forward to are:
- You can increase your endurance and stamina. You can progress to doing multiple pushups at a time and show greater strengths during competitions needing physical stamina.
- Muscle strength is enhanced and rate of muscle growth increases.
- The most coveted result is fat and inch loss. Starting with high intensity contractions the therapy gradually progresses to moderate contractions utilizing the glycogen and blood glucose rapidly. This uses body's free fatty acid to release metabolic energy selectively and burn fat cells.
Natural- All the way!
The current resonates the nerve impulses within our body systems and causes the muscles to contract as one would if they lifted heavy weights or performed heavy exercises. This not only results in visible loss of inches, but also instant muscle toning and building. It produces communication at the cellular level which causes release of a great deal of cellular energy (in the form of adenosine triphosphate, ATP) and cellular enzymes which results in retarding and even reversing the clock of aging. It enhances the collateral blood circulation which increases muscle blood supply. The wave form technology applies pressure while delivering current resulting in desired effects. The weight loss is also via an increased consumption of energy.
Unlike those procedures where you have to either go for a surgery or go for fat or tummy sucking, use lotions, potions or take needles to achieve all the aforementioned effects, the Microcurrent technique is safe, healthy and triggers the body's natural system to function effectively. The completely natural Microcurrent body sculpting sessions help you in avoiding
- The damaging side effects due to the over usage of steroids
- Exhaustion and muscle wearing and tearing arising from use of heavy muscles.
Too young or too old
Adult clients of all ages can use the Microcurrent therapy sessions for complete body rejuvenation. Clients who are overweight, of average or large build, those who rarely or randomly exercise can all go for Microcurrent session. There should be a gap of 24-72 hours between two sessions initially. The clients are asked to take 2-3 sessions per week which can be gradually adjusted to 1 session per week towards the end of the therapy session. Younger clients below the age of 35 need lesser treatment sessions while the number of session increases with age.
For younger clients the therapies are preventive I nature and maintain the body while in older patients the therapies aim at repairing the damage due to aging and the loss of fat accumulated due to sedentary life style.
Is there any reason for which I shouldn't go for it?
Yes, there are certain medical conditions where Microcurrent should be used with caution or in consultation with your doctor. These conditions are;
- People who have a pacemaker or implanted defibrillators
- Pregnant women
- Clients suffering from certain neurological diseases such as epilepsies, cancer
- Those who have undergone a recent surgery
Microcurrent sessions help you in toning your body, building the body mass and reducing the extra pounds of fat with its initial, maintenance and booster sessions but as an individual you will have to follow certain recommendations for the best results. You will be told about these after a session at Aglowlife is over. A well balanced and nutritious diet, a healthy and mild exercise regimen, healthy habits such as avoid smoking and excessive use of alcohol and follow ups with Microcurrent session are as integral to the body sculpting treatment as the deliverance of the current!
See it to believe it!
There are numerous advantages of Microcurrent being a completely natural treatment. You do not have to get any surgery done, use any drugs or undergo painful effects of liposuction. It is completely safe and convenient to do. You may feel some tingling sensation all over the body after a complete Microcurrent session, but you can also get back to work immediately after the session. All you need to do is keep yourself hydrated!

Take the Skyway directly from our hotel to walk to award-winning restaurants and bustling shopping areas before heading to one of the Hennepin Avenue theaters for a performance. After the show, grab a nightcap at a trendy bar or coffee shop in the Warehouse District. For a peaceful stroll along the Mississippi River, be sure to try our scenic #BluRoutes.

Shop next door at Nordstrom Rack, or hop on the light rail to experience Mall of America.

So I've been reading these since CallumWilford started them (and RoRulon & IamITIfix began providing their own ) and I finally decided I'd do my own. I just recently finished building a new gaming rig with a Ryzen 2700 and a RX 5700 XT and decided the first game I'd run through on it was the remake/reboot (?) of Prey, released back in 2017, developed by Arkane Studios (Dishonored) and published by Bethesda (before they went to crap)...
Gameplay and Stuff:
Is it multiplayer? - No, though there is a multiplayer DLC (would not recommend it).
Can I play it with my kids? - Unless you've got a kiddo that A. likes to watch you play games and B. doesn't get scared easily, no. It's 100% a single player experience and it is fairly tense/suspenseful, with a few jump scares sprinkled throughout.
What's the time commitment to "git gud"? - If you've played any FPS then pretty much no time at all. But I wouldn't say this is a FPS in the vein of Doom - it's much more like Bioshock or System Shock, so the gameplay loop is much more centered around exploration and puzzle solving, rather than pure combat. So even if you aren't the best FPS gamer it's not that demanding of a game. If you get scared easy, I'm afraid you're out of luck, however.
Are the controls intuitive? - For the most part, yes, at least with mouse & keyboard. My only complaint is that the hacking minigame is clearly designed to be played with a controller and is a bit of a pain with a keyboard.
My biggest issue with this game is the name. It should have been called something like Neuroshock, as it pretty much takes all its inspiration from the System Shock games (even moreso than Bioshock did) and has virtually nothing in common with the original Prey released back in 2006 (aside from being stuck on a space ship with aliens). The plot isn't too complex - you play as Morgan Yu, a scientist aboard the space station Talos I. There's an accident aboard the ship, releasing a hostile alien species called the Typhon throughout the space station. Your objective is to survive and find a way to get off the station.
Content in Game - The game takes place entirely on the Talos I space station. It's a pseudo open world, similar to Rapture in the Bioshock games or the space stations in System Shock 1/2. That is, Talos I is made up of multiple "hub" areas that you can freely explore as you want, though you may run into harder/scarier enemies if you explore certain areas ahead of the story. Due to an outbreak by the alien species known as Typhon, the space ship is dark, dreary, and run down.
While you will encounter multiple types of Typhon (that grow increasingly more terrifying as you progress) the main enemies of the game are called Mimics. These little black goopy spider looking dudes have the ability to "morph" into any item in the environment, even weapons, ammo, and healing items. Coupled with excellent art direction and sound design, these dudes, while not difficult to dispose of, can really mess with your head. If you are the type of person that picks up every little object in Elder Scrolls or Fallout games, prepare to have that habit broken pretty fast. It's quite terrifying to go to pick up a coffee mug only to find out it's actually a goopy face hugger hellbent on ending your life.
As you explore Talos, unraveling the mystery of what happened on the base and who you really are, you'll discover different weapons, weapon upgrades, modifications for your suit/helmet, and upgrades known as "neuromods." Similar to plasmids in Bioshock, neuromods are injections that give you new abilities or allow you to upgrade your current abilities (i.e. health, stamina, weapon damage, hacking, strength, etc.). There's also a surprisingly robust crafting system in the game, allowing you to break down the items you find into resources to craft medkits, weapons, ammo, and even extra neuromods.
My personal opinion (and why you shouldn't listen to it) - I'll get my biases out of the way fast:
- Bioshock, Resident Evil, Alien Isolation, and Metroid Prime are some of my favorite games
- I generally hate shooters and prefer slower puzzle/exploration based action games
- I don't scare easy
So, Does it Suck? - No, not at all. In fact, I'd say it's one of my favorite games I've played the past few years. It's quite shocking to me that this game sold as poorly as it did - Bethesda really dropped the ball with the marketing and naming of this title. The art and sound design come together to create an incredibly tense, suspenseful, thrilling experience that, when coupled with the open ended gameplay, encourages multiple play-thrus (and, at around 12-15 hrs to finish the story, it isn't a huge time sink or investment, though a completionist play-thru can take around 22ish hrs to finish). Plus since the game is a few years old you can snag it for around $10 (or less) on sale. I can't speak to the console versions, but the PC version appears to be very well optimized and has a ton of useful graphics settings (even allowing you to configure dynamic resolution scaling to ensure that you hit a target frame rate). The visuals are buoyed by excellent art design, though the star of the show (besides the gameplay) is the killer sound design (seriously, the sound effects in this game are OUTSTANDING and are really amplified by a relative lack of a soundtrack). Definitely a game that demands to be played with headphones or a surround sound system if possible.
What do you guys think? Anyone else played through Prey? Am I crazy in thinking this is one of the best games of the last few years?
P.s. - sorry if this is overly long or confusing, this is the first long form review I've ever written lol.
7 Replies
I've got Prey on PS4, and it's surprisingly well optimised for a game that runs on CryEngine since some of them run poorly. It's a very good game, but it just doesn't keep me hooked, unless I force myself to finish it. I agree about the name of the game since it's nothing like the original (2006) Prey.
Nice writeup, I have this downloaded and installed, put about 5 hours into it but it's been sidelined while I re-re-replay Dark Souls, because I got the remastered edition so thats naturally a reason to play it again :P
I quite liked what I played though, and I'll definitely go back. Arkane have a knack for really good level and environment design, and Talos I is another one like Dunwall that is really effective in getting the player to experiment with their abilities. The Mimics are a really effective horror enemy as well, mainly because you can't tell what item they'll become, you're always on edge (I personally found the room where a scientist had painstakingly put post-its saying NOT A MIMIC on everything quite a creepy moment), but the Typhon themselves were a bit meh. The name itself doesn't bother me really, the original Prey and planned series is dead and gone, so they can really do whatever they want with it now, and I think they did a great job of making it its own thing
Excellent game. This is like an unofficial remake of System Shock 2. You can play with traditional weapons, or you can use pysonic powers, or a mix of both. As you play the game, you collect loot, which you then recycle into basic ingredients, and then use those to craft weapons and ammo. There's also a bit of a morality aspect.

There are moments that change your life.
Standing in church, surrounded by family and friends, saying, "I will" while staring into the eyes of the man you're willing to give up everything you know to spend the rest of your life beside.
Looking at a positive pregnancy test, knowing that from this moment on, your life will never be the same.
There are others that feel just as life-changing, even though they aren't as visible to everyone else.
Getting my first digital camera, and my most recent one.
My dad calling me to come stand beside his La-Z-Boy chair while he taught me about being an entrepreneur. For most of my teen-age years, I knew that was his plan for my life, and I agreed completely. For more than 20 years, I've dreamed of having my own business.
Sometimes, when you've dreamed a dream for so long, it takes something physical to truly know that your vision has left the realm of imagination and become real.
That moment when you hear the first cry of your newborn, seconds before the doctors bring him over and place him in your waiting arms.
Writing "Mr. & Mrs." in every guest book of every Welcome Center as you drive across the country to your new home.
Receiving your first business cards for the company that you've dreamed about for most of your life. Holding the proof that it's real, that this dream has finally come true.
By the way, if you love these cards as much as we do, we wholeheartedly recommend Studio 3 Eleven. ❤

Nintendo announced new SNES Classic feature.
On the heels of the first SNES Classic pre-order opportunity in the US, Nintendo announced a new feature of the SNES Classic Edition. Nintendo revealed today in their gamescom 2017 announcements that the upcoming Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition system includes a Rewind feature that lets players rewind their gameplay to retry tricky sections, pick up missed items or simply run through an area again to see if anything was missed.
The SNES Classic rewind feature can be seen in the screenshot below. Users can also forward.
The rewind time depends on the kind of game: Players can go back a few minutes in role-playing games such as Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, while action titles such as Super Mario World offer around 40 seconds, ideal for re-trying short segments of gameplay. The system also comes with optional frames that can be wrapped around the on-screen display for each game.
The SNES Classic will be released on September 29. On August 22 at 1:10am ET, The Tracker App sent out a smartphone notification to its users that Best Buy has opened the pre-order for the SNES Classic. The inventory lasted about 20 minutes.
We expect other retailers to offer the SNES Classic for pre-order this week. Read all the SNES Classic pre-order details.

An intermediate appeals court ruled Wednesday that McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna should not be disqualified from prosecuting the case of a biker arrested after the 2015 shootout at Twin Peaks.
The opinions from Waco's 10th Court of Appeals maintain Reyna's status over the case. However, the court's ruling was a bit unusual in the sense that it featured opinions from all three judges, with two concurring opinions.
Justice Al Scoggins denied biker Matthew Clendennen's petition for mandamus in a single sentence, while Chief Justice Tom Gray wrote a six-page concurring opinion and Justice Rex Davis wrote a three-page concurring opinion.
Dallas attorney Clint Broden, who represents Clendennen, appealed an October order by 54th State District Judge Matt Johnson denying a motion to disqualify Reyna, who went to the scene and advised Waco police commanders about how to proceed after the deadly May 17, 2015, melee at Twin Peaks.
Broden asked the court to issue a writ of mandamus, which would have ordered Johnson to disqualify Reyna and appoint an "independent and unbiased" prosecutor to take over the case.
Broden said Wednesday evening he will confer with Clendennen, a former member of the Scimitars group, before deciding if he will appeal the decision to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.
"I was very pleased that at least Judge Davis was troubled by Abel Reyna's actions and that Judge Gray's decision was not based on the merits of the petition, but rather procedural issues, and we are invited to raise the issues again at a later time," Broden said. "I want to study the opinions a little more carefully to make a decision on where we are going to go from here. At least one member of the court had questions about Reyna's actions that day, so it may be that the Court of Criminal Appeals may need to decide this."
A phone call to Reyna seeking comment about the rulings went unreturned Wednesday evening.
Broden argued that Reyna "crossed the line" by ordering the mass arrests of 177 bikers on identical charges on May 17, 2015. He argued that Reyna usurped the judgment of Waco's top police commanders with 100 years worth of collective law enforcement experience, who, Broden said, had decided before Reyna arrived that most of the bikers were mere witnesses.
During oral arguments before the three-member court in March, the justices asked Broden if he had any legal precedent to determine exactly where the line is for prosecutors, who routinely give advice to police agencies, assist them with drafting search or arrest warrants and other legal matters.
Broden paraphrased the famous line from former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart, who in 1964 while reviewing an obscenity case, said, "I know it when I see it."
"This is pornography," Broden said. "This is so far over the line that it's ridiculous. That might explain why there is no case law on it."
In his concurring opinion, Davis said Reyna came close to abusing his authority but did not "cross the line."
'Very close' to abuse
"The events and circumstances surrounding what has come to be commonly referred to as the 'Twin Peaks shootout' are unique in McLennan County," Davis wrote. "That aside, the decision-making on that day by the district attorney, though no doubt well intended, came very close to being an abuse of his professional discretion.
"Particularly, his not deferring to law enforcement on the issues of arrest and reporting can certainly be called into question. However, even though I have significant concerns about his actions and about how close he was to abusing his discretion, I believe that he did not cross that line."
Davis determined Johnson did not abuse his discretion by denying the initial motion in October.
Broden also alleged in his motion to disqualify that Reyna should be removed from the case because he is being sued by more than 100 bikers in federal civil rights lawsuits and has a financial stake in ensuring they are convicted.
He also alleged that Reyna should be disqualified because he will be a witness during Clendennen's trial.
Gray, in his concurring opinion, said that while Broden "has presented some evidence of a disputed fact," he has not exhausted other legal remedies available to him.
"Mandamus is an extraordinary remedy," Gray wrote. "It is to be utilized only when other legal remedies are inadequate. Thus, if there is another legal remedy available to Clendennen, a petition for writ of mandamus should be denied."

The Fundamentals of House owners Insurance coverage
2 Nov
Purchasing a home is a single of the grandest monetary expenditure that people do in their lifetime so it is only necessary to safeguard the well worth or the home. This is the explanation why it is useful for genuine estate investors and homebuyers to get a residence insurance coverage for the residence they purchased or nonetheless organizing to get. Property owners insurance is a contract between you and an insurance company to support your property and personal home get protected. If damages happen to your property since of natural disasters or human actions, you can reimburse the amount for all the losses you experience. But you can only get the complete benefits of the insurance if you are capable to pay out all the insurance fees and fulfill all the policy requirements.
You can already start planning of acquiring a residence insurance coverage even if you are nevertheless in the stage of going to quite a few Blackhawk properties for sale or more specifically if you previously chose a Blackhawk real estate home to get. Each sensible investor is aware of that obtaining a residence insurance ought to be portion of the spending budget, even at the starting and preparing stage of the investment. The simple house owners insurance coverage policy will cover all the damages brought by nature such as fire, hailstorms and lightning. There are also cases in which the insurance will pay for the foods and accommodation fees if there is a need for you to leave the property for fix purposes. But a basic insurance policy for homeowners does not cover reimbursements for the losses incurred due to earthquake and flood. Before buying a residence, it is greatest if you verify the vulnerability of the area from feasible earthquakes and flood. The home you are arranging to acquire may possibly be found in a flood zone area or close to a fault line. Nearly all home loan companies demand homebuyers applying for a loan to get insurance coverage defense particularly if the house is vulnerable to flood and earthquakes. In terms of the human activities that are damaging to the home, fundamental insurance policies will cover losses incurred from theft and vandalism.
For you to offer optimum safety to the residence you want to acquire, acquiring a homeowners insurance policy is of wonderful essence. Really, even if you do not want to apply for a residence insurance coverage, occasionally you will be forced to get one particular if the mortgage loan firm will demand you 1st to use for insurance coverage before they can bestow ultimate approval of your loan. Lending businesses also want to protect the property you will be getting so it is significantly less complicated for them to reclaim and sell it as soon as you had been not capable to maintain up with your mortgages.
It is nonetheless finest to get an insurance policy for the home even if you presently very own the residence entirely and you do not have mortgage payments to feel of every month. This is to hold the property totally safe and protected.

Are We Ever Going to Get Hillary 3.0?
Once again she's playing defense, this time over server-gate. When do we get some offense?
Press conference performance is a bit overrated. Gov. Chris Christie's January 2014 107-minute marathon was a great display of stamina and confidence, but it failed to stem the erosion of his reputation. Al Gore's robotic "no controlling legal authority" presser became a punch line, but he still won his party's presidential nomination (some still argue, the general election).
Hillary Clinton's "two-server" press conference on Tuesday had elements of both, the personal confidence of Christie combined with the tinny sound bites reminiscent of Gore. She gave the assembled media nothing it wanted: namely, the private server in question. She left behind various threads for critics to pull—the implicit contention that she can decide what emails are deemed public and private, the claim that the server contains Bill Clinton emails when his people has said he doesn't email, the defense that she wanted to carry one phone device when she recently said she had an iPhone and a Blackberry.
Story Continued Below
But the wry smile she flashed at times suggested she was not concerned with the predictable pushback to come. After all, this was not her first press conference, nor her first media frenzy. She has weathered impeachment. She has seen a losing Bob Dole shake his proverbial fist in 1996 and wail, "Where's the outrage?" She has insulted Tammy Wynette, and lived to politick another day.
Hence her ability to forgo sweat. Without a smoking gun, or even a waft of smoke, the stonewall-the-server story can only last so long. There's no actual scandal that Clinton is being alleged of covering up. (Few outside the conservative camp treat the thoroughly investigated Benghazi tragedy as a brewing scandal.) Reporters can keep asking to turn over the server, she can keep pledging privacy, and voters will likely get bored, if they aren't already. She appears perfectly willing to wait the press out.
She also may have made a canny move by drawing attention to the private server and away from the question about whether she really followed the State Department's administrative rules. As Media Matters' Eric Boehlert noted on Twitter: "Jeb [Bush] set up his own server? check. Jeb had private acct for gov't biz? check. Jeb himself decided which email wouldn't be released. check." The Associated Press recently published a breakdown of how many Republican candidates have used private email systems that the public cannot access. Hillary didn't make the crass move to trying to shift blame to others during the presser, but she may have created a situation where the media may be obliged to even the score, and her opponents will have difficulty drawing distinctions.
Furthermore, Clinton may be counting on Clinton Derangement Syndrome among Republicans. "Issue is now canvas on which Rs will paint their crazy," a Dem senate aide conveyed the New York Times' John Harwood via Twitter. Republicans have a huge need to define themselves positively and offer a compelling governing vision that makes a clean break with the failures of the George W. Bush administration. Getting distracted by Clinton scandal catnip could complicate that objective.
But that risk cuts both ways. Hillary Clinton needs to define herself too.
She may well be thinking three steps ahead, but she's not setting herself up to win in an elegant fashion. Clinton partisans may insist it is unfair for the media to filter her through a narrative of calculation and secretive scheming, but nothing in today's performance attempted to upend that narrative. Team Clinton seems to believe that's a lost cause; James Carville told POLITICO beforehand, "Y'all are just going to go out there and say, 'She raised more questions than she answered.'"

Vybz Kartel Avoids Court, He Doesn't Want His Presence to Distract From His Appeal
Vybz Kartel Avoids Court, He Doesn't Want His Presence to Distract From His Appeal
Incarcerated deejay Vybz Kartel has made the calculated decision to avoid being in court since the start of his appeal last Monday.
According to sources close to the entertainer, Kartel does not want to turn his court hearing into a media frenzy, which is why he and his co-accused opted to not be present.
According to the defence team, Kartel is fully aware of all the arguing points that will be put forward by his attorneys so he is highly confident in their abilities.
The defence team will make their arguments starting today, July 16 onwards till Thursday, July 19. While the prosecution will make their arguments on Friday, July 20.
According to Kartel's defence attorney Valarie Neita-Robertson, her client is very anxious to learn his faith and based on the proceedings so far, he could find out the verdict of the appeal by next week.
Adidja Palmer, popularly known as Vybz Kartel, Shawn "Storm" Campbell, Andre St John, and Kahira Jones, are all currently keeping their hopes high that the Court of Appeal will clear their names of the murder of Clive "Lizard" Williams. The four men were all convicted to life in prison, with Kartel ordered to serve 35 years.

Awww time for a break before the whirlwind of kids come home from school. You know that little break that every Mom needs right?! Not long ago I would have my first cup of coffee and have my quiet time at 5:00 a.m. in the morning, but as I get busier blogging and with my new VA services, I need to get more done in the early, early morning… job wise.
I still have my coffee first thing in the morning of course…as a matter of fact I have a timer on my coffee maker so that when I get up the coffee is made! It's like having the maid come over and make my coffee before I get out of bed! LOL I can dream can't I!?
Honestly though, I can't live without my quiet time with God, oh and my Caramel Latté. Being a Mom of 7 kids has taught me to be ready, not just to meet the physical needs of my family (cooking, running errands etc.) but also to be ready for the emotional side of parenting. If you have teens you know exactly what I am talking about. So in the after noon I take time out of whatever it is I'm up to, grab my coffee basket and make myself a special coffee drink.
Right now my daughter and I are struggling in our relationship. She's 16 and at that age where she wants to be independent and doesn't want to be mothered, not out loud anyway. I've found that if I am not ready and peaceful when she comes home from a hard day at school and sports, we are likely to get into a tiff about the stupidest things.
I can't control her but I can control myself and handle things the way the Lord would have me to do. So everyday before she comes home I spend that time in God's word and being renewed. It has been making a world of difference in our relationship and I'm reminded everyday that our family verse for many years has been Love Never Fails.
I'm going to share with you how you can make this deelish Caramel Latte for yourself so that you can enjoy during your quiet time! You don't need an Espresso Machine for this easy recipe and I'm going to show you how you can make "steamed" milk without it!
Quick Links for this Page
Caramel Latte Recipe
- McCafé Drip Coffee
- 1 Tbsp. Caramel Sauce
- 3/4 cup 2 % or less Milk
Make your Coffee
Pour 1 Tbsp. into a fairly large Coffee Mug
Then pour in your Coffee, leave a little room for your steamed milk
Now let's make that Steamed Milk ~ I used a Mason Jar but you could really use any type of microwaveable container with a lid
Pour in your milk ~ the less fat the better, but 2% works just fine.
Now put the lid on and shake until nice and foamy.
Now put into the microwave for about 30 seconds, this will stiffen and set the foam so that you can scoop it out. If you prefer you can pour all of the Milk into your coffee.
That's it! You can drizzle on more Caramel if you really want to jazz it up…go ahead, do something special for yourself!
This really only takes minutes to make, which I love because I need to spend as much time as I can having quiet time and time is on short demand these days. I used McCafé Coffee which you can now buy at Wal-Mart in the Coffee section and ooh it is deelish with 100% Arabica Beans and 8 different flavors to choose from! Wal-Mart's all over the nation are doing fun demos at each store so that you can test their McCafé Coffee so be sure and check
Moms, no matter what, you need to take that quiet time so that you have the patience to deal with those kids. We all know that it doesn't matter what time of day you do it or where you do it…Just do it! I went outside with my cuppa because it was so beautiful out!
What is your favorite quiet time beverage?
Be blessed today!

NASA Shows Us 130 Years of Warming in 30 Seconds
Kate Sheppard points us to NASA's great 26-second video animation of the last 130 years of global temperature records:
This video, put together by NASA using temperature records from 1880 to 2011, shows you the warming world in just 26 terrifying seconds. Blue shows temperatures that are lower than the baseline average between 1951 and 1980, and reds show temperatures above the average ...She's right—NOAA just confirmed that after the third-hottest summer months on record, the first eight months of 2012 comprise the hottest ever recored here in the lower 48. Might as well take another 26 seconds and watch it again.
The NASA video shows temperatures through 2011, which was the ninth warmest year on record at the time. But 2012 is certainly on pace to be just as out-of-the-ordinary.
NASA Shows Us 130 Years of Warming in 30 Seconds
This is what climate change looks like.


text: Testimonials Bill Siegler Bill grew up in a religious Jewish family and was heavily involved in Jewish life. He knew a lot about the religion of his Jewish people, but felt he did not really know the God of the Jewish People. He believed that there had to be more to God than just traditions. One of his Jewish friends had a New Testament, and one day Bill decided to read it. As he read the words of Jesus, he saw how a person can know not just stories from the Bible, but know the author of the Bible. As he studied further, he saw his people's expectations fulfilled in Yeshua the Messiah. Mitch Forman Mitch grew up in a religious Jewish family. He was a successful chef until his wild lifestyle cost him his job. Losing his dream job – what he thought was his life's calling – caused him to spiral out of control. At the same time, he felt he was wasting his life. A Christian girl he met sparked some jealousy in Mitch, as she seemed to know more about the Hebrew Scriptures than he did. As he began to study the Bible, he saw that, not only was the New Testament written by Jews and for Jews, but that the Messiah of the Jewish people, and the whole world, the very one prophesied in the Hebrew Bible, was none other than Jesus of Nazareth. Michael Herts Mike grew up in a conservative Jewish home. Throughout his life he always searched for God. He searched at Christian Bible studies and in personal studies with a Hasidic rabbi. As his understanding of his need for God grew, he reached out and asked God to reveal himself and the Messiah to him. As he learned more about God, Jesus, and the New Testament, he realized there was nothing more Jewish than believing in the God of Israel who sent us the Messiah of Israel, Yeshua!

Who Can I Run A Credit Report On?
A credit check can be very helpful in organizing personal finances, but under certain circumstances, a person or organization might need to run a credit check for other reasons. If you're interested in running a credit check on another person, you should be aware of how Federal law affects your ability to do so. You're only allowed to run a credit check under very specific circumstances.
The most important thing to remember is that you'll need to follow FRCA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) regulations. These regulations were introduced to help prevent practices that could result in identity theft or other unfair and harmful uses of the account numbers and other information contained in a credit report. As a result, credit checks are only available if you have power of attorney over a person, if they're a child in your custody, or if you get their express permission and have a valid professional reason for obtaining a credit report.
One such professional reason is to gather information about an employee or independent contractor before hiring that person to do work. Many companies run credit checks on their employees, especially if those employees have large financial responsibilities, and this is allowable under FRCA law. However, there are limitations in place to protect employees from potentially predatory practices. Employers aren't able to access the full credit report of their employees in many circumstances, but instead have access to a credit header that provides some of the information contained in a credit report. Again, it's necessary to have the employee's written permission in order to see this credit header.
Credit checks may also be ran by parents and executors of wills. Parents who run credit checks need to have the permission of adult children. Executors of wills will not usually run credit checks except in very specific circumstances. Some businesses run credit checks on customers; the resulting credit reports will have limited information about account numbers, and the credit reports must be handled in a very specific way to prevent the possibility of identity theft. Identity theft from poor report handling will result in penalties and fines for the business that requested the report.
The individual penalties for illegally obtaining a credit report can be severe and can include a prison term of 1-2 years. This is why it's important to stick to the right procedures. Before you ask for a report on a person, make sure to have their written permission and follow FRCA guidelines for handling the report.

Christ The RedeemerFebruary 11, 2016 in Brazil ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
So today we are heading to Christ the Redeemer, one of the New seven wonders of the world, and I'm really excited . There is a place in the park that you can buy a ticket and they transport you there and back and it costs 60reals (10 quid) including your entrance fee. 20 mins after buying our ticket we ar on our way. They only allow so many people up there at a time and you get an allocated time for your accent. The bus takes us directly to the top and there are just thousands of people lying on the floodr just trying to get the best selfie. If i'm honest i was a little dissapointed, noone actually stood and respected the feat of how this enormous mound of concrete was placed here it was just a sybolic piece of architechture that they could have their picture taken with and post to facebook(ok i am following the sheep) but realyy the views from here were mesmerising and once again you could actually see the whole city looking very small from the view points. Twenty minutes here was enough and we were going to catch the train down to the bottom. One way was 22 reals each ( 5 quid ) not a lot i know but the budget has to last.
I hadn't done a sunset here yet , and we've been here a week so after a bite to eat we headed down to Ipanema. It was 6.30 pm and the beach was still packed. A 20 minute walk took us to a rock that seperates Ipanema beach from Copacabana it was packed and once again we joined a queue to get a photograph of the beautiful sunset. Grabbing a beer each we continued to watch as the sun dropped from the skyline and as it eventually set the crowd cheered and clapped. Ona rriving back at the hostel , Pepe , lee and Emma were here and as they are due to leave tomorrow we exchanged details and will hopefully catch up soon as they live very close to Portsmouth and it will be good to share our travel dits with them. We have just been informed the hostel is out of water???? apparently this is quite a common occurence in Brazil so before we head to bed we purchase some bottled water . Just as i think im getting adjusted to the cold water showers using chilled water to shower with is a shock to the system , but its 31 degrees and its midnight so needs must. Mark and I shower together dispensing the freezing cold water between us having hysterics about how exceedingly cold it is , but needs must and after Another wonderful day spent, now to catch some much needed sleep.Read more
You sound like your having an amazing time and bringing so many memories back to me x

A woman, whose name could not be ascertained at press time on Saturday, was delivered of a baby in the gridlock at Onitsha caused by the blockage of the Niger Bridge for local government elections in Delta State.
A mild drama was said to have played out in the gridlock as a pregnant woman who was said to be travelling to Lagos suddenly went into labour.
Our correspondent gathered that the mother was quickly attended to by women around who rushed her into a stationed car.
The car was quickly cordoned and turned into an emergency labour room, it was learnt, and shortly after, the woman was delivered of a baby amidst jubilation from stranded passengers.
Hundreds of travellers from the South-East and South-South returning home from the Christmas and New Year holidays were stranded, following the closure of the Onitsha end of the bridge.
Our correspondent, who monitored the situation, said movement on the bridge was restricted as of midnight on Friday.
The Anambra State Government, in anticipation of the gridlock, had on Friday issued a travel advice to returnees to the state seeking to use the bridge after the polls.
A release by the state Commissioner for Information and Communication Strategy, Mr. Tony Nnachetta, read, "As a result of local government elections, scheduled to hold Saturday, January 6, 2018 in Delta State, the Delta State government has announced that curfew will be in place in the state effective midnight on Friday.
"The curfew will affect movement into and out of Delta State, including its borders and connecting roads with Anambra state.
"Ndi Anambra are therefore advised to take note of this development and make adequate travel arrangements to avoid being stranded, as they make plans to return to their various places of residence after the Christmas and New Year celebrations."
As early as 7am, a severe human and vehicular traffic jam constituted of holidaying returnees from the South-East and South-South had formed on the Onitsha axis of the bridge.
Security personnel, who manned the bridge and other borders of the state, gave no one access to the bridge.
Some of the travellers had to alight from their vehicles to return to their states of origin, insisting they would make the journey the next day.
A traveller, Maazi Obi, who spoke to SUNDAY PUNCH, said, "I was going to visit a friend in Agbor, Delta State, who invited me just to know his country home, but with this, I am going back to Awka."
As of 3pm, the number of the vehicles in traffic was still growing, while some motorists who sought to make a U-turn were unable to do so as they had been blocked.

I don't have much of an "official summary" to offer. I host my own images using the hosting I pay for to host this board, so I don't really know of a "best" way to post images. I haven't ever messed with free hosting much out of fear that they would do exactly what photobucket did, so I'm really unable to offer good alternatives. I know there are alternatives, but I don't know what is good or what is bad. If any members have suggestions to make for free or inexpensive image hosting for other members, feel free to post those recommendations here.
I don't offer to host member images because there is a cost involved. Images require more storage space and bandwidth from the webhost. Much more than the text and images that make up the board itself. Most boards cover those costs by charging membership fees or inundating members with advertising. I don't do either. This board is a hobby, and everything is paid for out of my pocket. Not hosting member images keeps it affordable for me.
I suggest that If you choose to use free hosting that you keep in mind a few things. Most "free" things on the internet are not really free. They pay for the service somehow, usually through advertising. In the case of image hosting like photobucket provided, there were no ads in the images, so it was difficult to profit from the hosting they offered. It's the same for any other image hosting companies, so you shouldn't assume that they will store your images forever. Assume they will eventually stop providing the service for free, or maybe disappear altogether taking your images with them. Keep copies of everything you upload. You may need them at some point in the future.
