The Duffy family had fun at the inaugural Trick or Trot race at NJC. The group, which ran the one mile course, included (l to r) Garrett. Logan and Tim Duffy of Sterling and grandmother Paulette Ludens from Sioux Falls, SD. (Courtesy Photo)
The first annual Trick or Trot Race held at Northeastern Junior College this past Saturday was a good success with just at 40 entries. From the littlest supermen to members of the "home run" baseball club and a dog dressed like a dinosaur, the participants came in costume prepared to have a good time-- despite the gray sky overhead.
There were a few hard-core runners in town at the event, some who were just trying their first 5k, and a few walkers who just wanted the morning exercise.
Winners of the various prize categories included: 1 Mile Walk/Run: (Children) Most creative costume: Logan Duffy. He ran the one mile course in 7:13. Best time: Jaxon McCracken, age 10 (6:17) and Radex McCracken, age 8, (6:30). Runners age 20-34: first place went to Tim Duffy (7:25). Age 35-39: first place went to Joel McCracken (6:30) and second place to Justine McCracken (6:35). 50 years and over: first place went to Paulette Ludens (7:13) and second place went to Geri Starner (8:52). Tim Duffy also received the most creative adult costume wearing an ostrich costume.
In the 5K run, awards presented were as follows: Most scary adult costume: Steve Parrish. Most creative adult costume: Angie Meyers. Time winners were as follows: Child race: Trenton Allen (age 7) 30:52; runners age 20-24: first place went to Mike McClaran (20:40), second place to Angie Meyers (22:30); runners age 35-49: first place to Dale Walker (20.54) and second place to Jill Laybourn (23:33); runners age 50 plus: first place went to Jay Lee (30:24) and second place to Rod McClaran (31:07).
This hairy character was dressed warm for a cool run on Saturday. He (aka Steve Parrish (left) was chosen as the scariest adult costume. He did his share of antics, including stealing red dots from the black lady bug, played by Angie Meyers (right), who was not only the fastest female racer of the day when she finished the 5K in 22:30, but also the recipient of the most creative adult costume award.

Kari Mueller and the athletic department at NJC were pleased with the turn-out considering it was a first year event and a cold morning. They will plan to hold the race again in 2013.

Fernwood Resort Big Sur Reviews
10 reviews
Affordable, clean, quiet rooms Jan 14, 2012
Fernwood Resort is made up cabins, motel rooms, and campgrounds. The motel rooms are good sized for two people with a clean bathroom. The beds weren't exactly most comfortable but is bearable for a night or two. There is no television or much of cell phone reception so be prepared for that, and enjoy the quietness and peacefulness. A few of the motel rooms were right off the main road, Highway 1, therefore every so often you can hear cars zooms by which isn't much of a bother.
The resort is surrounded with nature. Just a few steps is a few hiking trails. One of which leads to a river stream. You will love the serenity of this hotel and its location. Not to mention the clerks at the front desk were very helpful. Right next door is Redwood Grills which is restaurant and the bowl of calm chowder was delicious.
Definitely recommendable.

Odom Ready to Play
When asked how his knee responded to Tuesday evening's win in Houston, Lamar Odom likened himself to Humpty Dumpy … You know, the whole fall-down-and-get-back-up-again thing.
Odom's said he's feeling "all right," and will indeed face off against the Spurs (as expected), which is a good thing because Odom was terrific in the Western Conference Finals last season. He averaged nearly 13 points, 10 boards, three assists and over a block in L.A.'s 4-1 series win.
He's particularly important in the matchup because the Spurs will occasionally go small with Duncan in the middle and Bruce Bowen or Kurt Thomas at the four, when Odom's defensive versatility becomes a big factor.

Reports from Spain are suggesting that Milan are pondering a late bid for Barcelona stopper Maxwell.
The Nou Camp outfit are ready to listen to offers for the left-back who joined the club in the summer of 2009 from Inter.
The Rossoneri already brought in a new left-back this summer in the shape of Marseille defender Taye Taiwo.
Maxwell, a Brazilian Under-23 international, is represented by Mino Raiola an agent who has helped the Italian club sign numerous players over the past few seasons.
Milan have also been paired with Palermo's Italian international Federico Balzaretti.

But it seems so easy...
Is there anything that you know should be easy to make, but you just can't seem to ever get right?
I, for instance, am a complete disaster when it comes to making pancakes. I'm simply and unquestionably a hot mess any time I try: We wind up with griddle slop that somehow manages to be both burned to a crisp and raw in the middle.
Of course, everybody in the world can make pancakes except me. "They're so easy!" people always say. Sure, they're easy -- easy to order off the menu at the diner down the street, because I vow to never try to make them again.
How about you? Anything you know you should be able to master but just can't, for some reason?

OTTAWA – She spoke out against the Ground Zero mosque, now a Canadian Muslim
woman says she is being threatened. Raheel Raza, a founding member of the Muslim Canadian Congress, calls the idea of a mosque within 300 metres of Ground Zero "a deliberate provocation."
Last week Raza joined Maureen Basnicki a Canadian widow of 9-11 in attending a meeting about the mosque in New York City.
"They were very arrogant. They didn't answer questions," Raza told QMI Agency.
The meeting was hosted by Daisy Khan, the wife of the Imam promoting the mosque and Sharif El Gamal, the man whose property firm owns the land the mosque is to be built on.
Raza says she asked questions about who was financing the building, estimated to cost $100 million, and whether any of the money would come from countries other than the United States. There has been much speculation that the mosque is being funded through Saudi Arabian sources but at the Manhattan meeting Raza said there were no answers.
On Monday, back in Toronto, Raza says she received a call on her cellphone from a man who identified as Sharif El Gamal. "His tone was intimidating," said Raza. "He accused me of 'jumping into' the meeting he called and then said 'May Allah protect you.' I was shocked and hung up."
Raza says she took the phone call as a clear threat against her.
"Why would I need Allah's protection?" asked Raza.
Raza says El Gamal's tone was threatening and she took the phone call as a clear threat against her, and not as it is sometimes used, as a casual phrase meaning goodbye. Contacted at his New York office El Gamal initially didn't have much to say. "I'm confused by your phone call," he said before hanging up.
Contacted a second time El Gamal said "There was no phone call made by anybody" before again hanging up the phone to abruptly end the call.
Raza insists there was a call, "I saved the number on my cell." The number on Raza's cellphone matches that of El Gamal's Soho Properties offices in New York.
The proposal to build a mosque so close to Ground Zero has become a hot political topic in the United States.
Mauren Basnicki, who lost her husband Ken in the attacks on the World Trade Center, told QMI Agency she originally had an open mind about the mosque being built so close to the site of the 9-11 attacks, now she is against it.
"We all believe in religious tolerance. I don't think for one minute that this is about religious tolerance," said Basnicki.
Speaking with QMI Agency from her home in Collingwood, Ont., Basnicki says many might be afraid to speak out for fear of being branded as bigoted but to her the location is just insensitive and she'd like to see it move

What are the best quotes to show poetic devices in "My Last Duchess" (e.g., alliteration, similes, etc.)?
- print Print
- list Cite
Robert Browning uses a number of interesting figurative and sound devices in "My Last Duchess." The sound devices include alliteration, assonance, and consonance; here are some examples of each:
Alliteration: "Perhaps Fra Pandolf," "such stuff," "cause enough for calling up," "she liked whate'er she looked on, and her looks went everywhere," "dropping of daylight," "skill in speech," "disgusts me; here you miss, or there exceed the mark," "some stooping," and "notice Neptune."
Consonance: "Pandolf by design, for never read strangers like you that pictured countenance," "curtain I have drawn," "ask me if they durst," "hope to reproduce," "half-flush," "liked whate'er she looked on," "nine-hundred years-old name," "herself be lessoned so, nor plainly set her wits," "known munificence is ample warrant that no just pretense of mine," and "Innsbruck cast in bronze."
Assonance: "Pandolf's hands," "never read," "not the first are you to turn," "mantle laps," and "forsooth, and made excuse--e'en then would be some stooping, and I choose never to stoop."
Here are some examples of figurative language Browning uses in the poem:
Personification: "...there she stands. Will 't please you sit and look at her?" Rather than referring to the painting as "it," the Duke speaks as if the painting is the actual Duchess.
Pun: "I said Fra Pandolf by design." The Duke uses a play on words when discussing the artist, since "design" is an artistic term, but he means "on purpose."
Imagery: "Faint half-flush that dies along her throat" and "bough of cherries" both bring images to the reader's eyes.
Syncechdoche: "She had a heart ... too soon made glad." A part of the Duchess is used to represent her self or her emotional being.
Metonymy: "My gift of a nine-hundred-years old name." The Duke uses something associated with his social position, his name, to represent his social position.
Understatement: "Even had you skill in speech--(which I have not)." The Duke is obviously a skilled speaker--this is ironic.
Metaphor: "Here you miss, or there exceed the mark." This could also be an idiom, but it calls to mind archery. "E'en then would be some stooping." The Duke compares instructing the Duchess to stooping, a physical posture that puts him in a lower position.
Ambiguity: "I gave commands; then all smiles stopped together." Also an understatement, these words imply the Duchess was executed but leave the interpretation open.
Elevated Diction: "The Count your master's known munificence is ample warrant that no just pretense of mine for dowry will be disallowed." This language seeks to impress by using fancy words and syntax. It also includes litotes, an understatement that uses a double negative: "no ... disallowed."
Symbol: "Notice Neptune, though, taming a seahorse." The sculpture symbolizes the Duke's dominance over weaker people, especially the Duchess.
In "My Last Duchess," the main poetic devices are:
Verbal Irony: "She had A heart--how shall I say?--too soon made glad,
Too easily impressed;" (How can being a happy, charitable person be bad?)
Symbolism: "my last Duchess painted" (The Duke objectifies, reifies women as property, possessions); "smiles"; "hands"; "name" (The poem pits male jealousy and reputation "name" against suspected female promiscuity)
Imagery: body imagery ("hands"); auditory ("speech"); gender ("breast")
Metaphor: " My favor at her breast, The dropping of the daylight in the West,"
Sound devices (Prosody) are:
Rhyme scheme: AABB ("call" / "wall")
Euphony: "faint Half flush"
Cacaphony: ""Which claus of Innsbruck cast in bronze"
Alliteration: "Notice Neptune"
Sibiliance: "she stands"; "such stuff"
Assonance: "E'en then"; "We'll meet"

If you're sick of hearing about the paleo diet and gluten-free everything, you may be in luck: "Clean eating" is on the rise, and it may soon displace those other trends as the healthy-eating topic du jour.
Tosca Reno, author of the 2007 book The Eat-Clean Diet, describes clean eating as "a colorful assortment of fresh vegetables and fruit, whole grains, and lean protein." Clean Eating magazine says it's "all about consuming whole food in its most natural state, or as close to it as possible." Clean eating advocate Cynthia Sass, R.D. has written that clean eating "means foods that haven't had anything added to them, and haven't had anything valuable taken away."
If these definitions sound rather vague to you, you're not alone. In a recent article on Slate, writer L.V. Anderson complained, "The term [clean eating] has been adopted so widely, by people promoting so many different eating choices, that it has no agreed upon definition."
To clear up the confusion, it helps to take a quick look at the book of Leviticus. Why? Because that's where the concepts of clean and unclean foods originated. According to scholars of ancient Judaism, the Hebrew word "tumah," which is usually translated as "clean," actually means "spiritually pure." The Israelites avoided unclean foods such as shellfish not because they were dirty or unhealthy but rather to distinguish themselves from neighboring peoples, who had their own definitions of clean and unclean foods.
RELATED: 6 "Healthy" Foods You Should Never Eat
Which brings me to another idea—and that's that diet is more than just a source of nourishment. It is also a source of identity. This is as true for modern health diets as it was for early religious diets, and it explains why the most ardent followers of all diets are prone to negatively judge other ways of eating. What's different about clean eating is that judgment is inherent in its very name, which even today carries connotations of moral spotlessness, as Anderson observed in her Slate article. So it's not surprising that the term has been co-opted by vegetarians, the gluten-free crowd, and farm-to-fork activists, to name a few. Nobody wants to think of their diet as unclean.
The problem? Clean eaters themselves stress the term's connotation of healthiness. But there is no rigorous definition of "clean" that can be used to discriminate between healthy and unhealthy foods.
A more direct and reasonable way to evaluate foods is to look at their actual effects on health. And research has consistently shown that the best health outcomes result from diets that contain lots of vegetables and fruit and no more than small amounts of refined grains, sweets, processed and red meats, and fried foods. Nuts and seeds, dairy, whole grains, and fish and poultry are also health-enhancing but are not needed in great quantities.
These broad parameters leave plenty of room for you to find the specific diet that works best for you. I like this flexible approach—it discourages the "us-and-them" thinking that is so rampant in today's dietary landscape. If we recognize that many diets are healthy and no single way of eating is healthiest for everyone, we're less prone to judge other carefully chosen diets as "unclean." Whatever we may mean by that.

President Obama surprised many when he recently gave the green light for offshore oil and gas development along the East Coast, Gulf of Mexico and in Alaska.
For our state, it means exploration can begin - as early as this summer - on already leased areas in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas and Cook Inlet. The President's decision is good news for Alaskans for two reasons.
First, development in Alaska's Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) could stimulate a renaissance in our oil and gas industry at just the right time as an Alaska gasline project is poised for development and flow through the Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline is at an all-time low.
The federal Minerals Management Services estimates there are recoverable reserves of nearly 22 billion barrels of oil and 99 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas alone. This new development could create thousands of good-paying jobs as Alaska's unemployment rate reached a 20-year high.
Second, I'll insist that some of the proceeds from OCS development be directly shared with affected coastal communities and the State of Alaska. Last July, I introduced legislation (S.1560) to do exactly that as part of my package of seven bills designed to address the impacts of climate change on Alaska.
Back in 2006, Alaska was left out of legislation passed by Congress that gave Gulf of Mexico states a direct share of OCS revenues from leases off their coasts. Alaska deserves the same deal those states received because oil and gas development requires expanded community infrastructure, improved emergency response capability and mitigation for potential impacts to fish and wildlife.
If our state had been included in the 2006 legislation, Alaska would have received more than $900 million of the $2.6 billion in revenues from the 2008 Chukchi Sea leases alone. These funds could have helped coastal communities, spurred more investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency and helped develop critical facilities like roads and harbors.
Unlike other revenue sharing legislation introduced in Congress, my bill respects the needs of Alaska communities adjacent to offshore development and the unique needs of the indigenous people who live there. In addition to sharing revenue with the State, my legislation also provides a portion to those affected communities.
Alaskans have been fighting for our fair share of offshore oil and gas revenues for years, but now the political and policy stars may be aligning to finally make it happen. I have been working with several of my colleagues from Virginia, South Carolina and other states which now have real potential for offshore oil and gas development.
They want their fair share of offshore leasing revenues, too. Already, we have seen some progress on the issue. The latest Senate outline for national energy and climate legislation includes revenue sharing.
Since getting elected to the Senate 16 months ago, I've been arguing to the Obama administration that Alaskans know how to do environmentally responsible oil and gas development in challenging Arctic conditions. I've met numerous times with Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson and the President himself to seek the opportunity to prove it.
With the EPA's recent approval of an air permit for Shell's Beaufort development, the pressure is on for Shell and other companies gearing up for OCS development to do it right. To me, this means being sensitive to the Alaskans who rely on marine mammals for subsistence, it means hiring Alaskans, it means use of the best technology and it means the strictest environmental standards so not a drop of oil is spilled.
Several other bills in my Inuvikput package of legislation for a changing Arctic address these points. To maintain the public's confidence that we can responsibly develop these resources, we're going to have to do more than simply take oil companies' word for it.
We need to do the basic research and put reasonable standards in place. It's the right thing to do and it will reduce the ability of those opposed to development to tangle up future leases and permits in court.
Oil and gas development in Alaska's waters still has regulatory hurdles to jump. I am confident Alaskans can demonstrate to the world that we can safely provide our nation the enormous energy resources beneath our oceans, while at the same time addressing Alaskans' needs for public services and facilities through revenue sharing.

downgrading swt to 4.4.2-1 seems to fix the issue.

If you've just started dating a hot older man, you're probably still in the honeymoon phase of your relationship—you know, those first couple months into the relationship where you just can't keep your hands off each other. Sex with your new older man is fresh and exciting. You're both still learning about each other and about what you both like in the bedroom. Even if you're casually dating a sugar daddy, sex will probably become part of the arrangement at some point, and there's something pretty hot about being with a handsome, experienced older man.
Sex is a big part of any intimate relationship, age-gap or not, so it's important to know how it affects the dynamics of your relationship in the long run.
According to a recent survey out of the U.K., the longer you're dating your older man, the less sex you're likely to have. Two thousand couples were surveyed, and of the ones who had been together for less than a year, 15% said that they had sex at least once a day. It might sound like a small fraction, until you compare it against couples who have been together for longer—only five percent of couples who were together for more than a year have sex every day.
Not only can the frequency of sex with your older man decrease over time, but so can your level of satisfaction. As many as 40% of the couples who were in a relationship for more than four years admitted that their sex life "could be better," and one third said that they felt like their sex life could improve significantly if they just tried harder.
That being said, not all hope is lost in the bedroom if you're dating a sugar daddy or if you're in a long-term relationship with an older man. Here are some things to help keep your sex life as exciting as ever:
• Send him a sexy text while he's at work. Tell him how excited you are to see him later, and what you plan on doing with (or to) him when you see him. If you're feeling extra frisky, send him a naughty picture. He won't be able to keep his hands off you when he gets home.
• Play up his senses. Blindfold your older man, or tie his hands behind his back during sex. Reducing one or two of the senses makes the others that much more sensitive.
• Talk to him about what you want in bed. If he's doing something you like, tell him to keep doing it. If you need him to move a little to the left, speak up. He'll be more satisfied if you are too.
• Keep an open mind about sex. If you notice that sex with your older man is dwindling, change it up by adding toys, role playing, or doing it somewhere new. Start by making subtle changes and then work your way up so that you're both still comfortable.
• Be spontaneous. Don't wait for nightfall or for when you're tucked in bed to spring on your older man. Surprise your sugar daddy while he's in the shower, or catch him while he's reading the morning paper—tell him you were thinking about him and want him right here, right now.

Infection prevention
Preoperative body wash to reduce bacteria on the patient's skin
A major risk in any surgery is that surgical sites may become infected with bacteria from the patient's own natural skin flora1. There is a significant relationship between positive skin culture and wound infection rates, suggesting that the skin is a possible source of contamination1.In the operating room, all staff and equipment have followed a rigorous disinfection procedure prior to surgery commencing. The surgical site is clean. However, unless the patient has followed the process of whole body washing and disinfected their skin, the same cannot be said for the rest of the patient's body. The whole body washing general and skin-cleansing procedure provide a safe and efficient way of disinfecting the patient's body 2.
Incorporating the whole body wash with HiBi®Scrub along with a nasal ointment can reduce the risk of hospital-acquired Staphylococcus aureus infections by nearly 60 percent3.
The chlorhexadine gluconate in HiBiScrub supports a fast and effective spectrum of kill on a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, yeast, fungi and viruses4.
In 15 seconds HiBiScrub Plus kills several Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms that are resistant to some of the most widely used antibiotics5.
In 20 seconds HiBiScrub provides an inactivation of H5N1 (NIBRG-14 Avian flu construct)3 and in 30 seconds H1N1 (VR-333 Swine flu strain) is inactivated6.
Dermatologically tested HiBiScrub Plus contains a blend of emollients that is kind to the skin7. HiBiScrub Plus with four percent /v chlorhexidine gluconate helps soften the skin. It reduces moisture loss to help prevent dry skin7, even with the frequent usage required to whole body wash effectively8.
Tests have shown that patients who have showered with four-percent chlorhexidine had no bacterial growth on 43 percent of incision sites. This is compared to only 16 percent for PVPI and a mere five percent of medicated soap-and-water sites9.
Mölnlycke Health Care and Professor Judith Tanner introduce whole body washing and the study results from comparing two body-washing antiseptic products to washing with soap.
The study was published in Journal of Infection Prevention in 2011.

Following a few simple steps, the patient can be assured of reducing the risk of infection to both him/herself and others, before and during his/her hospital stay.
With each whole body wash, please follow this procedure

Winnipeggers will have to wait awhile longer to find out what will replace an iconic restaurant in Osborne Village.
The building once home to Papa George's is now back on the market after negotiations to replace the business recently broke down.
The company trying to lease the building at Osborne Street and River Avenue said they spent five months negotiating with an international restaurant chain.
Those negotiations recently fell through, and now the leasing company is looking for a new tenant.
Papa George's closed its doors on Oct. 7, 2012 after over 40 years in business.

Fun And Games With Beyonce And Blue Ivy: 8 Pics
Beyonce is a one-woman business empire with shows to perform, calendars to pose for and perfumes to concoct — so it's nice to see she still puts aside the occasional day to spend some quality time with Blue Ivy. Mother and daughter played a game of peek-a-boo in a hammock and blew bubbles in the garden.
This is too cute. Bey might have forgotten to release new music this year but she's on top of everything else. It's also nice to see Blue Ivy with a smile on her face. Maybe she just needed a little sunshine. The Carters are currently in New Zealand for The Mrs. Carter Show. After a trip to Australia, they will return home for the final leg of Queen Bey's tour.

Artists Bio:
Zac Willis's work is autobiographical in excess, particularly in documentation. He has an obsession with collecting personal objects, ideas, and experiences—their physical display is not only a showcase of his identity, but also of the surfeit nature of American capitalist culture and its effect on his identity as a member of the art community and as an individual.
In past works, he has collected personal effects such as nail clippings and belly button lint, exhibiting them in shadow boxes that reference more typical forms of collection display, such as butterflies. Continuing to document his life to the most banal of details, other subsequent works include a step-by-step photo installation of the route from his home to his studio, and a representation of week's worth of salary in lottery scratch off tickets, where he meticulously documented the process of buying each ticket, scratching them gently with a coin, and collecting the winnings.
His recent photographic exploration concentrates on seemingly mundane consumerist American pop culture experiences that are easily accessible to all. He explores the increasingly common desire in our society to document and "collect" practically every experience in our lives, focusing especially on those that tend to elicit a pre-set, expected image in documentation. In other words, his recent work explores the emotions and reactions the subject is expected to portray in situations like this.
Willis is based in Washington D.C., having obtained his MFA from American University in 2009. He has exhibited his work in a number of shows in the D.C. area and New York City.
Megatron's Dead is a multimedia experience honoring the cultural icon Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. Celebrate MEgatron's life and achievements while also paying your respects at the character graveyard.

This was so thought out and i really had some genuine jump scares in there.
I only played a small portion of this game but regardless I was still impressed. The atmosphere was wonderful and some of the gameplay was incredibly inventive. I had to go into settings to convert it to English and even after that, some of the translations were rough. However, it did not seem to drastically affect the gameplay or storyline. This is definitely a game worth trying out. I did have a problem with it freezing up in one section though but that was my biggest grievance. Anyway, feel free to check out some of my gameplay at the link below.
Attack of the Floating Heads!!! Youtu.be
*Rawr* Hello everyone! Giving the game a Let's Play, thankfully I was able to find out how to get it to play in English! So far, 3 videos made on it. Having fun with it! For those who want to view it, check it out in the link below! If you enjoyed? Please help me out by giving a Like/Comment/Subscribe :>
I can't run this game. Don't have a clue why. At first it starts up ok, but usually around when I reach the door with the chain and have to search for something the game freezes. I've tried recording it for my channel first using Nvidia's Shadowplay then AVerMedia Live Gamer HD capture card in case it was my recording software screwing it, but nope. Game freezes each time at the same place.
My PC specs are:
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit
RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1,600MHz
HDD: 2 x Samsung EVO 850 256GB SSD (in RAID 1 for OS) and 1 x 3TB Western Digital HDD (for the games)
CPU: Intel i5 3470 3.2GHz (not overclocked and cooled by Corsair Hydro H100i)
GPU: Nvidia GTX 970 3.5GB (Gigabyte G1 Gaming Edition)
Mobo: ASRock Z75 Pro 3 (BIOS fully updated)
Please help. I really want to play this for my channel.
Kind regards
A Really good indie horror game with a great atmosphere and great graphics!
Nice game. Very good job.
Awesome game. It is a breath of fresh air to find such an expertly crafted horror game without the over use of jump scares. The atmosphere built in this game has got to be one of the best ive ever experienced. Kudos devs. I recordded this game for my channel, hope you guys enjoy :-)
can this game be played in english or only russian and has it got controller support
I played it in English. I just had to press the words until I found the Settings menu and you will clearly see English as one of the options. However, some of the notes and stuff are hard to understand because some of the translations are rough. It doesn't really affect the gameplay or storyline though. Idk about the controller support.
Only registered members can share their thoughts. So come on! Join the community today (totally free - or sign in with your social account on the right) and join in the conversation.
Highest Rated (2 agree) 10/10
Train hands down definitely deserves 10/10, the setting combined with the perfect atmosphere sets up for a very thrilling experience but also a sense of realism and how it feels like your just playing a horror game, but that your in the horror game and your experiencing and living through these events along with the character! By far the best horror game I've played so far, so kudos to the developers and a huge thank you for the amazing experience! I highly recommend playing Train you won't regret it!

On Sunday, we visited the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center with the family. The kids were fascinated by the turtles hanging out on the edge of a pond. I saw the red stripes behind the eyes and the birder in me thought, "Wow. That's a convenient field mark." Of course, I had no idea what kind of turtles these were or what that red stripe might signify.
My three-year-old niece had her own opinion about what kind of turtles these were. The big one was the daddy, the medium one was the mommy and the baby was on his mommy's back. She pointed out another turtle basking alone on the other side of the pond and told us that that one was in time out.
We walked around the grounds and I began to wonder why I don't keep lists and try to identify other animals as I've done with birds the past three years. I've learned so much about birds—their varieties, habits and habitats and where they fit into their ecosystems. This doesn't even factor in how I've honed my observational skills. I want to know the world, not just one class of its animals.
After observing a Western Scrub Jay perched atop one of the live oaks—my first life bird for 2010—I decided, why not start life lists for the other classes. As with birds, I don't intend to go chasing around trying to hit a certain number or goal, I just want to know what I see. I want to know this world, especially the little piece of it I call home. I want to know it on a deeper level than just turtle, bug or bat.
When we got home, I broke out my Audubon Society field guide to reptiles and amphibians. The turtles we had seen were Red-eared Sliders, a subspecies of Pond Sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans). I've seen them before and even posted a picture last year, though back then it was just a turtle. These Red-eared sliders are actually the turtles I see most frequently on my walks around the neighborhood, usually stacked up on the spillway in the pond. They were even the subject of a micro-poem that was featured at a handful of stones.
I'm going through the guides now, trying to seed my lists with the species I know I have seen. There are many I've only seen on a superficial level, but the ones I've seen, I'm now taking the time to read a little bit about. It never ceases to amaze me how much there is to see and how easily it can be taken for granted.

Ex-INS Agent Admits Taking Bribes
Published 7:00 pm, Wednesday, January 9, 2002
A former immigration supervisor at Miami International Airport admitted he accepted bribes to put false immigration stamps on the passports of illegal immigrants.
Fredy Barragan pleaded guilty to conspiring to accept bribes and transferring false immigration records, the U.S. Attorney's Office said Wednesday. His wife, Katherine Barragan, and sister-in-law Monica Andrioli pleaded guilty to conspiracy to accept bribes.
Authorities said the three were involved in an alien-smuggling conspiracy. Andrioli said Barragan "typically charged $6,000 to $7,000 for each person he smuggled into the United States," according to an October indictment.
It was unclear how many people had gotten false immigration stamps in the scheme. Luisa Hoyos, a Colombian citizen, was the only illegal entrant listed in the indictment.
Authorities said Andrioli went to Colombia and met with Hoyos to arrange her trip to Miami and accept the bribe in 1997.
Barragan could be sentenced to up to 15 years and fined $250,000 for transferring a false immigration record. The criminal conspiracy charges carry a maximum term of five years and a $250,000 fine.
Barragan, an Immigration and Naturalization Service supervisor at the airport since 1997, has resigned. Sentencing was scheduled for March.

Sushmita Sen now wants a biological childMay 21st, 2010 - 2:32 pm ICT by IANS
Panaji, May 21 (IANS) After adopting two children, former Miss Universe and actor Sushmita Sen now wants to give birth to a child.
"I will go for biological baby because the clock is ticking for me," Sushmita, 34, told reporters Thursday on the sidelines of a preparatory workshop for the 2010 Miss Universe pageant.
Sushmita's production company Tantra Entertainment was awarded the India franchise to select participants by the Miss Universe Organisation.
The Hyderabad-born actress ducked questions about her marriage.
"I said the clock is ticking… I never said anything about marriage," she snapped when reporters asked whether marriage was on the cards.
"Every girl wants her prince charming. I have stopped thinking about it long back but still I want it," said the actress.
Sushmita adopted daughter Renee in 2000 and another girl Alisah in January.

Following a sniffed-out tight end screen and a sack, the Eagles started the second quarter with a third-and-30 at the Saints' 35-yard line. An inside handoff to running back
Three straight runs, including a quarterback sneak by Drew Brees on third-and-1, netted 13 yards and a first down. The Saints continued to move the ball in methodical chunks, converting a third-and-3 on a pitch to running back Darren Sproles that gained 8 yards to the Eagles' 23-yard line. An incompletion and then a short completion to running back Mark Ingram brought up a third-and-7. Brees completed a pass over the middle to tight end Jimmy Graham for a 7-yard gain. Linebacker
The Eagles started their next possession at their own 22-yard line following a 23-yard return by wide receiver
Brees led the offense back on the field, looking to build upon the 3-0 lead. He started the drive with a 10-yard completion to wide receiver Marques Colston. A 4-yard run by Ingram followed, then a Brees' scramble for 5 yards to bring up third-and-1. Running back Khiry Robinson got the handoff and ran off tackle 5 yards for another first down. Ingram got the handoff on first-and-10 and plowed ahead for 3 yards. On second-and-7, though, Brees was intercepted by Ryans on a pass over the middle intended for wide receiver Lance Moore. Ryans returned the interception 23 yards to the Saints' 44-yard line.
On first down, Foles fired a strike over the middle to wide receiver
Sproles returned the ensuing kickoff 21 yards to the Saints' 25-yard line. Brees found Graham near the sidelines for a 17-yard gain to the 42-yard line. Sproles took the handoff and sped up the middle for 13 yards and into Eagles' territory. On first-and-10 from the Eagles' 45-yard line, Brees was sacked by linebacker

This July 21 photo shows orange-vanilla ice cream pie with orange whipped cream in Concord, N.H. The dish offers the creamy-sweet richness of a Creamsicle. Photo by: AP Photo/Matthew Mead
August 20, 2014 10:49:49 AM
Let's get one thing clear -- I am not proud of this recipe.
And if it weren't so ridiculously good, I'd be too humiliated to share it. But it is and so I am ...
It all came about because I was chasing a childhood taste memory. I wanted the creamy-sweet richness of a Creamsicle, but I wanted it as a beverage. I did -- albeit only momentarily -- consider melting the real deal, then pouring it over ice, perhaps adulterating it with an adult beverage. But that seemed kind of gross.
After a few misfires, I settled on combining a high-end orange soda with vanilla ice cream in the blender, then pulsing until smooth, but still milk shake-thick. It was simple. It was kind of stupid. It was crazy delicious.
Then I got inspired. What if after the soda and ice cream were blended, the mixture was poured into a pie crust? And what if you then refroze the entire thing? And what if you then topped the resulting ice cream pie with a massive mound of whipped cream spiked with orange zest?
What happens is you get a double orange-cream ice cream pie. And though the recipe is kind of trashy -- OK, really trashy -- I love it. And you will, too.
Start to finish: 20 minutes active (plus several hours freezing)
Makes 6 servings
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1 1/2 cups orange sherbet
1 cup orange soda
1 prepared graham cracker pie shell
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon orange extract
1 tablespoon powdered sugar

ACC Lauds Findings in IHS Study Projecting Dramatic Growth in Natural Gas Production and Petrochemical Feedstock
Oct 23, 2012, 14:18 ET from American Chemistry Council
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Chemistry Council (ACC) today welcomed a study by IHS Global Insight that foresees significant growth in domestically-produced supplies of natural gas and attractively-priced natural gas liquids essential to chemical manufacturers.
"This study delivers plenty of good news for the chemical industry and other American manufacturers. Abundant and affordable supplies of natural gas are revitalizing the chemical industry and providing a competitive edge for manufacturers in the global marketplace. This study confirms that these benefits from natural gas liquids are not a short-term phenomenon but an ongoing trend expected to last for decades," said ACC President and CEO Cal Dooley.
According to the IHS study, U.S. natural gas production has risen dramatically in the last five years, from 52 billion cubic feet (BCF) per day to 65 BCF per day. By 2020, natural gas production will soar to 80 BCF per day and then to 100 BCF per day by 2035. Nearly all of the growth in supply will come from unconventional sources such as shale gas, the study said.
The production of natural gas liquids (NGLS) from unconventional sources such as shale gas and others will grow from 1.8 million barrels of oil equivalent a day in 2012 to 4.8 million barrels of oil a day in 2035, or potentially more than 2.5 million barrels a day oil equivalent of new petrochemical feedstocks supply, the study projected. The chemical industry now uses a slightly more than one million barrels a day equivalent.
"These production numbers are encouraging and herald a bright future not just for the oil and natural gas industry but also chemical manufacturers. The IHS projections for increased gas production underscore the importance of sound regulatory policies at the state level that will determine whether natural gas from shale remains a 'game changer' in manufacturing or a sorely missed opportunity to generate economic growth and jobs," Dooley said.
Demand for natural gas is also expected to soar, increasing from almost 70 BCF per day in 2012 to 96 BCF per day in 2035, the study said, with utilities leading the way, followed by the petrochemical industry and other energy-intensive manufacturers. The study said the demand growth in the United States can be met almost entirely from North American sources. "This is an extraordinary development virtually unthinkable as recently as five years ago and underscores the importance of mobilizing all of our domestic sources of energy production," Dooley said.
Industrial sector demand for natural gas has growth potential, the study noted, because unconventional supplies of natural gas are "dramatically increasing the availability and potential supply of attractively priced natural gas liquids (NGLS)." The petrochemical industry, which uses natural gas not only for heat and power but also as a feedstock, "represents the single most important end-use sector for NGLS in North America, accounting for more than one-half of total demand for NGLS."
Chemical manufacturers have already announced 50 new chemical projects to take advantage of new supplies of natural gas and expand their production. A recent ACC study found that the expected increase in natural gas production is not just revitalizing the chemical industry but could create 1.2 million new jobs across a broad sector of America's manufacturing base.

'Elf' rates as Farrell's best reviewed film
Published 5:13 pm, Thursday, August 9, 2012
In collaboration with Rotten Tomatoes and its parent company, Flixster, here is the critical consensus of Will Ferrell's films. His newest film, "The Campaign," opens Friday at Capital Region theaters. (The figure listed is the percentage of critics who have rated the film positively, based on reviews listed at rottentomatoes.com.)
1. "Elf" (2003) 84 percent: A movie full of Yuletide cheer, this is a spirited, good-natured family comedy, and it benefits greatly from Ferrell's funny and charming performance as one of Santa's biggest helpers.
2. "The Other Guys" (2010) 79 percent: A clever parody of cop-buddy action-comedies, this comedy delivers several impressive action setpieces and lots of big laughs, thanks to the assured comic chemistry between Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg.
3. "Everything Must Go" (2011) 75 percent: It may not improve on the Raymond Carver short story that inspired it, but this film resists cliche and boasts a pair of magnetic performances from the perfectly cast Ferrell and Christopher Jordan Wallace.
4. "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" (2006) 72 percent: Although it occasionally stalls, this comedy's mix of satire, clever gags, and excellent ensemble performances put it squarely in the winner's circle.
5. "Stranger Than Fiction" (2006) 72 percent: A fun, whimsical tale about an office drone trying to save his life from his narrator, this film features a subdued performances from Ferrell that contributes mightily to its quirky, mind-bending affect.
6. "Blades of Glory" (2007) 70 percent: Thanks to the spirited performances of a talented cast — particularly Ferrell and Jon Heder as rivals-turned-teammates — this comedy successfully spoofs inspirational sports dramas with inspired abandon.
7. "Dick" (1999) 70 percent: A clever, funny slice of alternate history, this film farcically re-imagines the Watergate era and largely succeeds, thanks to quirky, winning performances from Michelle Williams, Kirsten Dunst and Ferrell.
8. "Curious George" (2006) 69 percent: This is a bright, sweet, faithful adaptation of the beloved children's books — and Ferrell gives a surprisingly sedate and gentle voice performance as George's guardian, the man with the yellow hat.
9. "Anchorman — The Legend Of Ron Burgundy" (2004) 67 percent: Filled with inspired silliness and quotable lines, this isn't the most consistent comedy in the world, but Ferrell's buffoonish central performance helps keep this portrait of a clueless newsman from going off the rails.
10. "Zoolander" (2001) 64 percent: A wacky satire on the fashion industry, this film is one of those deliberately dumb comedies that actually delivers laughs, thanks in part to the goofy energy that Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, and Ferrell bring to the material.

The Mechabolic: Technology of Gasification
Gasification is the general term used for processes where heat is applied to transform solid biomass into a "natural gas like" gaseous fuel. Through gasification, we can take nearly any solid biomass waste and convert it into a clean burning, carbon neutral, flammable fuel. Whether starting with wood scraps or coffee grounds, municipal trash or junk tires, pistachio nut shells or avocado pits, the end product is a flexible gaseous fuel you can burn in your gasoline engine, cooking stove, heating furnace and/or flamethrower. Apply a little additional effort through liquefaction technologies like Fischer-Trospch or other catalyst based processes, and methanol, ethelyene, and diesel are possible too a modest complexity.
Sound impossible?
Well, over 1,000,000 vehicles in Europe ran onboard gasifiers during WWII to make fuel from wood, as gasoline and diesel were rationed and/or unavailable. Long before there was biodiesel and SVO, we actually succeeded in a large-scale, alternative fuels redeployment. That redeployment was made possible by the gasification of waste biomass, using simple gasifiers about as complex as a traditional wood stove. Gasifiers are easily reproduced (and improved) today by DIY enthusiasts, using simple hammer and wrench technology. (see
for more background info).
