As homage to the legacy of Konami's run-and-gun games, Hard Corps: Uprising brings an exciting new look to a traditionally retro genre, all the while keeping with the frenetic gameplay that defines the shooter category. The game follows the soldier Bahamut as he begins to rise in strength and write his legend. Multiple game modes allow seasoned pros to show off their skills and enable genre neophytes to reach victory. Rising Mode affords new players the opportunity to earn points by overcoming enemies while under the protection of the life gauge system. This new system allows them to team up with advanced players cooperatively on or offline without the threat of sudden death.
Superior players will feel right at home in Arcade Mode, modeled after the classic run-and-gun aesthetic. Playing solo or co-op, players will have to prove their expertise by finding numerous achievements and avoiding sudden death. Players all over the world can also link up via Online Co-Op Mode to view rankings, achievements and leader boards.

DailyDirt: Prosthetics To Be Proud Of
from the urls-we-dig-up deptA few years ago, Oscar Pistorius was not allowed to participate in the Olympics because, as a double amputee, his prosthetic legs might have given him an advantage over athletes who weren't using prosthetic legs. Prosthetic technology doesn't stand still, so it's understandable that the Olympic committee didn't want to allow devices that could give future athletes extremely unfair mechanical advantages. Here are just a few interesting prosthetic developments that might change the perception of "disabled" persons.
- Prosthetic limbs don't have to look like medical devices or dead body parts. Artificial legs can be made with a variety of different designs, and the manufacturer of these bespoke legs occasionally requests help from volunteers who can "donate" their legs as a scanned template for prosthetic designs. [url]
- Last May, Claire Lomas finished a marathon in a $70,000 bionic suit -- after being paralyzed from the chest down in 2007. She walked about 2 miles per day, so it took her about two weeks to complete the London Marathon. [url]
- MIT researchers have created a glucose fuel cell that could be used to power brain implants or other implantable electronics that could control prosthetic devices. This device could get all the sugar it needs from cerebrospinal fluid, so it wouldn't need batteries (although external prosthetics would still need to be powered separately). [url]

BWP(12) : Point of Reference
Many factors impact our lives. What makes us do what we do and why? What forces affected the lives of those who lived before us? These, and other issues like these, become a point of reference for our tree climbing.
Let's begin!
These references I have used over the many years. You might want to comment on references that you have found most helpful.
Staples to the rescue! Mead's Neatbook seems to be available on line, but you can use any form of graph paper. Over more than 50 years of tree climbing I have used many, many, different types of paper!
Remember this was written just as the Internet was getting started. I still feel that every item determined as a family "story" needs to be verified. Documentation is fundamental to genealogy.

Listen, I am so scared of the dentist. I really am. I take insanely good care of my teeth, and they may not be the whitest, but they chew ok and don't hurt ever and serve me well. The only time my teeth bother me is in my dreams, when they fall out and fill my mouth with blood at inopportune moments, like during the SAT. For some reason I am forever taking the SAT in my dreams, which is weird because I don't even remember taking it in real life, but my dreamscape is littered with number 2 pencils and tiny bubbles left unfilled.
I know that I need to go to the dentist soon, but my feet drag behind me, and there's a herculean effort in lifting my finger to dial those numbers on my iphone. You and what army are going to make me go get my teeth cleaned? It's not about pain. I am heavily tattooed and I can take hundreds upon hundreds of hours of impromptu and anesthesia free sessions without complaint. It can be nervous business, getting a tattoo, but I never flinch or falter or become pale with the pinpricks. I go with the pinches and the burn because I love the results.
With teeth, since I haven't had any problems, the rewards are not as visible or satisfying. As a child I had countless hours of oral surgery, that left my psyche and mouth full of holes, stitched up crudely with thick black thread that tasted of blood and bone. My teeth had not lined up side by side as I grew, rather they placed themselves haphazardly along my gumline like headstones in an outlaw graveyard during the 1800s. there was a civil war quality to my mouth, and all my parents money went into the correction of this. Orthodontists and dentists were my babysitters, and I spent most of the hours between 4-6pm reclined in a chair with a light shining into my eyes and a tray and towel pinned to my neck.
About half my teeth were removed, as they came in huge and white and mighty to replace the feeble baby ones that were once there. There was no reasonable way my mouth could accommodate them all, so they got yanked. Being as big and deeply buried in my jaw as they were, it was no small feat to unearth them, and my flesh was cut away to expose the roots and kill the healthy tooth at the base of where they lay.
I spit out huge bloody clots of spongy gum tissue and this sped my healing as they didn't rot with decay. The remaining teeth stood valiant and shiny and strong as the wire braces bound them into a kind of order that they still march in today. The lines of my orthodontists plan have faltered slightly, as the genetic pattern of teeth, your original tooth destiny has strength beyond what headgear and wires are capable of controlling, but even after 30 years they seem ok, and I don't think I need to go back for anything.

Flood-related resources:
How to help victims of the flood
Complete coverage:
At a town hall-style meeting in Boulder on Wednesday night, Jamestown Mayor Tara Schoedinger asked for a moment of silence to remember former "Merc" owner Joseph Howlett, believed to have been killed in the historic flood last week.
A photo of Howlett, 72, appeared on a projector screen inside the Boulder County commissioners' office, where Jamestown residents met to discuss the state of their town.
The photo was one of Schoedinger's favorite pictures of "Joey," she said, choking back tears.
For Jamestown resident Rainbow Schultz, who bought the Jamestown Mercantile from Howlett three years ago, losing Howlett was like losing a father.
"He was the closest person in our life," Schultz said with tears welling up in her eyes. "Whenever you asked Joey how he is, he always says, 'Never been better.'"
Search crews late Tuesday finally were able to reach the body of a man -- believed to be Howlett -- who was killed in a building collapse during the flooding. Though the Boulder County Coroner's Office hasn't confirmed the man's identity, Schoedinger said during the meeting that officials recovered "Joey" on Tuesday.
Boulder County emergency operations spokesman Andrew Barth confirmed that crews recovered the body from a collapsed building in Jamestown on Tuesday night.
Officials said the man died early Sept. 12 when the flooding first began, but crews hadn't been able to reach his body.
Jamestown Town Board member Chad Droste said he lived with Howlett for five years and worked for him for 10 years. Droste said Howlett was also his golf buddy and best friend.
Droste said Howlett always made sure to give water to cyclists passing through town, and every day he watered the flowers in downtown Jamestown. Droste said "everybody" knew who Howlett was, and that he "wasn't afraid to share himself with people."
"He was one of the sweetest guys I've ever met," Droste said. "He had a gruff side to him, but he was a straight shooter. You knew where you stood with him. He didn't ho-hum around. If he had a problem with you, he'd let you know. But if he loved you, he let you know that, too."
Howlett moved to Jamestown in 1969. He bought the business known by locals as "The Merc" in 1992 before selling it in 2010.
The death in Jamestown is one of three confirmed from the flooding across the county. Two teens -- Wiyanna Nelson and Wesley Quinlan, both 19 -- were killed when they were swept away in floodwaters on Linden Drive in Boulder County.

Looks like there may be a nice future for wrestling video games after all. After a horrible and redundant version of Raw vs Smackdown 2009 hit the XBox 360 last year, TNA followed with one of the worst wrestling video games in recent memory. But this one... this Legends of WrestleMania is different.
WWE and THQ have partnered up once again to create Legends of WrestleMania. The game is a lot more fun than Raw vs Smackdown, but does have its flaws. For one, the mechanics of executing moves, reversing moves, and just all things moves related needs a little work. After playing the game for two or three hours I dare say I may have finally gotten the hang of it, but it doesn't capitalize on the Xbox 360 controller -- several buttons go basically unused.
But let's start off with the good things. First of all, if you're looking for a hit of nostalgia, this is definitely the game for you. In "Re-Live" mode, you get to relive memorable 'Mania matches, like Hulk Hogan vs King Kong Bundy, Hogan vs Andre the Giant, Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior, Hogan vs Sgt. Slaughter, Bret Hart vs "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Austin vs Shawn Michaels, Austin vs The Rock, and so on. Before you play each match, you get to watch a video of the build up to the match, as well as highlights of the actual match. Then, it's up to you to recreate the magic. You are given a list of objectives before each match. The more you complete the better, but in the end if you win the match, you move on to the next.
There is also the Legend Killer mode, in which you create a Legend and start from the bottom, competing in gauntlet matches and wrestling the likes of Jim Neidhart and Junkyard Dog. As you rank up, you'll start wrestling guys like Bret Hart, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, and the upper echelon members of the roster. While not quite as detailed as Raw vs Smackdown, creating a Legend is a lot more to the point. Creating an Entrance is very quick and there is almost no loading time, so it becomes enjoyable rather than frustrating.
This game is visually stunning. The crowd looks a little weak but the wrestlers themselves look larger than life. One of my favorite things is that when you wrestle in the earlier WrestleManias, they cover all their bases. Howard Finkel introduces each wrestler, they come out in those mini-ring trolly things that they used to come out on, and their names appear on the screen with old school text -- you know, that yellow lettering in a generic font. Fantastic. As you progress, so does the environment. WrestleMania 2, for example, looks much different than WrestleMania 13.
The audio is also incredible. All of the old school theme songs are in this game. The only one that is noticeably different is Big Bossman's -- he comes out to that redundant theme song he used in the late '90s in the WWE, rather than that "If you ever take a trip down to Cobb County, Georgia..." work of musical art from the '80s. Regardless, the music sucks you in from the minute the game starts up; a random theme song plays while you browse the menu.
Another great thing this game has going for it -- manager's actually make a difference! This isn't like Raw vs Smackdown where some random wrestler is assigned to be your manager, and he basically beats the snot out of your opponent when you ask him to. In this game, Bobby Heenan becomes an actual pest. He'll get up on the apron, you'll knock him down, but Andre the Giant will clock you one from behind and The Brain will have served his purpose. And it's all done seemlessly -- you don't feel like you've just unlocked a cut scene, it actually flows properly.
Replayability is also an issue. This is a renter, not a buyer. You'll have the game finished in a week, and aside from the terrific graphics and audio, the gameplay itself leaves something to be desired.
Noticeably absent from this game: Randy "Macho Man" Savage. They're releasing a DVD of the guy, but they can't put him in this game? Sad.
Nonetheless, the game is worth a try and it is definitely something for THQ to build on.
Mark Xamin was pleasantly surprised when Fed Ex showed up at his door with a copy of the game. He would like to encourage you to check out his wrestling forum, Mywrestlingforum.com and read what the WWE would be like if Mark was running the show by checking out the mother of all fantasy wrestling feds, the CWF. Mark can be reached at email@example.com.

The first quarterback off the board on Day Three of the NFL draft is Logan Thomas of Virginia Tech.
Thomas went to the Cardinals in the fourth round, with the 120th overall pick.
In Arizona, Thomas will do exactly what he needs to do: Get some time to sit behind Carson Palmer while he learns to play the quarterback position at the professional level. Thomas has a strong arm, good size and is a phenomenal athlete, but he has major problems with accuracy and decision making, and he's not ready to start in the NFL right now. In fact, there's even been talk that he should move to tight end in the NFL because he struggles so much as a passer.
In the fourth round, however, he is a low-risk, high-reward player for the Cardinals. Coach Bruce Arians will get a chance to mold him into a quarterback of the future, while he begins his career as the backup to Palmer.

Subscribe To DayZ Standalone Set To Release For PS4, But Not On Xbox One Updates
I've already subscribed
If you've been clamoring for an open-world, post-apocalyptic zombie title to play with friends and strangers where survival is key and permadeath is, well permanent, you'll probably want to check out DayZ. Except, you'll only be able to check out the standalone version on PC and PS4.
Edge managed to catch up with Dean "Rocket" Hall, the poster-boy of mod-turned-full-game indie culture, and according to Hall there won't be an Xbox One rendition of the standalone DayZ unless they nix those patching fees and open up self-publishing, saying...
"We're happy to see DayZ on any console but there is a… I guess one problem," ... "The console needs to not charge for us to do updates and it needs to be indie title friendly."
As a quick recap: Microsoft does not allow indie devs to self-publish. Sony allows indie devs to self-publish and they waived certification fees and patching fees. I wonder why no one asked about the Wii U? Nintendo doesn't charge patching fees, either.
Also, patching a game can cost up to $40,000 per patch, with the first patch/update being made available to developers for free. As many of you know and as Hall says himself, DayZ is riddled with bugs and if the game appears on consoles during beta (and we forbid to think about alpha) the team would be required to patch the living daylights out of the game quite frequently. In such a scenario, it might cost them more money to patch the game than they would make from the revenue of people purchasing the game.
For now, DayZ's standalone version is still undergoing closed alpha testing and the open-alpha test for public consumption is scheduled to arrive at the end of the month.

Putin and Trump discuss ISIS, Syria and Ukraine in first phone conversation
According to the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump had a positive conversation in which both leaders discussed the fight against ISIS, the situations in Syria and Ukraine, and went over plans to meet in person.
The conversation lasted for about 45 minutes, and the White House released the following photo:
Sputnik is reporting the following details:
Moscow sees Washington as its most important partner in fighting international terrorism, Putin told Trump, according to the Kremlin's official statements on the conversation. Both leaders reportedly supported the idea of improving "real coordination" between their nations in the fight against Daesh and other terrorist groups active in Syria.
Trump and Putin also expressed their willingness to work together to "develop and stabilize" US-Russia interaction and assured each other that their nations' citizens view the other's positively.
In addition, the two world leaders discussed Iran's nuclear program, the Arab-Israeli conflict, the situation on the Korean peninsula, and the conflicts in Syria and Ukraine, the Kremlin reports, as well as nonproliferation issues.
Trump and Putin are expected to speak again to discuss possible dates and places for a face-to-face meeting.

Germany Wants Nuclear Bombers
Germany does not manufacture atomic weapons but has come to consider itself as a nuclear power because it has vectors to use them.
Germany's armed forces are currently studying the possibility of acquiring nuclear bombers capable of using the new American B61-12 atomic bombs.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon itself plans to deploy these new atomic bombs in the German region of Eifel, in violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
The German air force already has multi-tasking Tornado warplanes, which are already capable of deploying American atomic bombs. But those aircraft are going to be replaced, possibly, by European-developed Eurofighters, or by United States manufactured F/A-18 Super Hornets.
Either way, the warplane that Germany selects will have to be equipped with the AMAC (Aircraft Monitoring and Control) system, which allows the use of the new American atomic bombs and enables the regulation of the power of the explosion as well as at what height the bombs explode after they are launched.
Germany does not manufacture atomic weapons but has come to consider itself as a nuclear power because it has vectors to use them, and believes that this gives it the right to sit on the UN Security Council sharing the permanent member position occupied by France.
Both countries would thus represent the European Union, under the auspices of NATO.
1st since Notre Dame: Yellow Vests back despite 'unifying' disaster & they are angry
'Yellow Vests' march in Paris for 23rd straight week.
Yellow Vests protests brought clashes and tear gas back to the streets of Paris, despite politicians' calls for "unity" in the wake of the Notre Dame fire. For protesters, the response to the fire only showed more inequality.
Saturday's protests mark the 23rd straight weekend of anti-government demonstrations, but the first since Notre Dame de Paris went up in flames on Monday. Officials were quick to criticize the protesters for returning to the streets so soon after the disaster.
"The rioters will be back tomorrow," Interior Minister Christophe Castaner told reporters on Friday. "The rioters have visibly not been moved by what happened at Notre-Dame."
For many of the protesters, grief over the destruction of the 800-year-old landmark has made way for anger. With smoke still rising from Notre Dame, a group of French tycoons and businessmen pledged €1 billion to the cathedral's reconstruction, money that the Yellow Vests say could be better spent elsewhere.
"If they can give dozens of millions to rebuild Notre Dame, they should stop telling us there is no money to respond to the social emergency," trade union leader Philippe Martinez told France 24.
RIGHT NOW: Yellow vest protesters out for week 23. Just spoke with a couple protesters who said wealthy donors were quick to give to Notre Dame but aren't as quick to help out the poor. #acteXXIII #GiletsJaunes #YellowVests #Paris pic.twitter.com/LncFttG8C6

Saturday's protests saw a return to scenes familiar since the Yellow Vests first mobilized in November to protest a fuel tax hike. Demonstrators in Paris' Bastille district set barricades on fire and smashed vehicles, and police deployed tear gas to keep the crowds at bay.

60,000 police officers were deployed across the country, and in Paris, a security perimeter was set up around Notre Dame. A planned march that would have passed the site was banned by police, and elsewhere, 137 protesters had been arrested by mid afternoon, police sources told Euronews.
Beginning as a show of anger against rising fuel costs in November, the Yellow Vests movement quickly evolved into a national demonstration of rage against falling living standards, income inequality, and the perceived elitism and pro-corporation policies of President Emmanuel Macron. Over 23 weeks of unrest, Macron has made several concessions to the protesters' demands, but has thus far been unable to quell the rising dissent.
After Notre Dame caught fire on Monday, the president postponed a television address to the nation, during which he was expected to unveil a package of tax cuts and other economic reforms, another measure to calm the popular anger in France.
Macron's address will be held on Thursday.
O Canada! The True North Strong and Free – Not
Maybe it's past time for Canadians to get serious again about their independence.
Authored by James George Jatras via The Strategic Culture Foundation:
Canadian visitors to Washington sometimes wonder why their embassy stands at the foot of Capitol Hill.
The answer? To be close to where Canada's laws are made.
A main showcase of Ottawa's craven servility to Washington is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's complicity in the US-led regime change operation being conducted against Venezuela. Not content with ruining his own country with multiculturalism, polysexualism, and the like, Li'l Justin has acted in lockstep with Big Brother to the south inslapping sanctions on Venezuelan officials and serving as a US agent of influence, especially with other countries in the western hemisphere:
'A Canadian Press report published at the end of January revealed that Canadian diplomats worked systematically over several months with their Latin American counterparts in Caracas to prepare the current regime-change operation, pressing [Venezuelan President Nicolás] Maduro's right-wing opponents to set aside their differences and mount a joint challenge to the government. "The turning point," said the Canadian Press [Global News], "came Jan. 4, when the Lima Group … rejected the legitimacy of Maduro's May 2018 election victory and his looming January 10 inauguration, while recognizing the 'legitimately elected' National Assembly." The report cited an unnamed Canadian official as saying the opposition "were really looking for international support of some kind, to be able to hold onto a reason as to why they should unite, and push somebody like Juan Guaidó."
'One day prior to Maduro's inauguration, [Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia] Freeland spoke to Guaidó, the newly-elected National Assembly speaker, by telephone to urge him to challenge the elected Venezuelan president.'
But that's not all. Canada is out front and center in the "Five Eyes" intelligence agencies' war on China's Huawei – with direct prompting from US legislators and intelligence. As explained by Col. Larry Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Gen. Colin Powell, it's not that Huawei violated any law when circumventing US sanctions but it is the US that is acting illegally by unilaterally imposing sanctions that were never agreed to internationally. But that's OK – when it comes to Washington's claims of jurisdiction over every human being on the planet, Justin and Chrystia are happy to oblige!
Also, let's not forget Chrystia's role in keeping the pot boiling in Ukraine. It would of course be cynical (and probably racist) to attribute anything relating to Ukraine to her own interesting family background …
To be fair, the lickspittle attitude of Canadian officials towards their masters south of the 49th parallel is hardly unique in the world. Also to be fair, it's natural and would be generally beneficial for Canada to have a positive relationship with a powerful, kindred neighbor rather than a negative one. Think of Austria's ties to Germany, or the Trans-Tasman relationship of Australia and New Zealand, or the links that still exist between Russia and Ukraine despite efforts by the west to set them against each other (as, for example, Spain and Portugal were at loggerheads for several centuries, when the latter was a loyal ally of Spain's foe, Great Britain, to such an extent that Portugal was sometimes shown on maps and globes in the same pink as British possessions; a similar situation existed between Argentina and British ally Chile).
A close and mutually advantageous relationship is one thing, but Canada's de facto loss of independence is another. Not only does the US control Canada's diplomacy, military, and intelligence but also her financial system (with, among other levers, the notorious FATCA law, which places Canadian institutions under the supervision of the IRS, with Canada's revenue service acting, care of the Canadian taxpayer, as a cat's paw for not only the IRS but the NSA and other snooping agencies). As explained by one Canadian nationalist (yes, they do exist!), the redoubtable David Orchard, trade is also a critical issue:
'Canada …, after almost three decades of "free trade" with the U.S., has more than $1.2 trillion in federal and provincial debt, large deficits at every level, no national child or dental care, high university tuition, miserly old age pensions, years of massive budget cuts, and giveaway prices for its exports of oil, gas, timber and minerals.
'For 150 years, great Canadian leaders have warned that without an economic border with the United States, we would soon no longer have a political border.
'We once owned the world's largest farm machinery maker, Massey Harris, headquartered in Toronto; built the world's largest and most respected marketer of wheat and barley, the Canadian Wheat Board, based in Winnipeg; created a great transcontinental railway system, beginning in Montreal, which tied our country together; and saw Vancouver's shipyards produce the beautiful Fast Cat ferry.
'Instead of spending hundreds of billions on foreign-made machinery, electronics, automobiles, ships, fighter jets and passenger aircraft (even payroll systems for federal employees!), we can build our own, both for the domestic and export market.
'We once designed and built the world's most advanced jet interceptor, the Avro Arrow, so we know it can be done. [Emphasis added] With Canada's resources and ingenuity, it could create a prosperous, domestically controlled economy that would give Canadians multiple benefits, security and pride of ownership. All that is required is some of the will that drove our ancestors to create an alternate power in North America. As George-Étienne Cartier, the great Québécois Father of Confederation, put it, "Now everything depends on our patriotism."' [Note: Orchard is the author of the must-read book The Fight for Canada: Four Centuries of Resistance to American Expansionism. To begin at the beginning, in the late 1680s, as part of English-French rivalry in North America, Massachusetts Puritans sought to root out the nest of popish deviltry known as Quebec. Following their disastrous 1690 defeat, they decided to fight Satan closer to home by hanging witches. The rest, as they say, is history…]
Scratch a Canadian patriot and you'll hear about the Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow. As a watershed moment in Canada's downward slide into subservience, the cancellation of what by all accounts was a magnificent aircraft – and a snapshot of what Canada's international competitiveness (including in advanced aerospace) could have looked like had it been able to develop independently – might have been the point of being sucked into the American vortex. As noted by one response to my suggestion that Ottawa's stance on Venezuela amounted to Canada's annexation by the US: "Canadian here…unfortunately, the above is true (not literally of course, but in practice). It goes back even before the time of Diefenbaker, who canceled our Avro Arrow program on demand from the US – thus destroying our aerospace industry and causing brain drain to the US/Europe."
To this day, the decision of then-Prime Minister John Diefenbaker to kill the Arrow project (and "put 14,528 Avro employees, as well as nearly 15,000 other employees in the Avro supply chain of outside suppliers, out of work") on what came to be known as "Black Friday," February 20, 1959, remains controversial and shrouded in mystery. A mix of budgetary, political, technological, and personality factors has been cited, none of them conclusive. Pressure from the US side, including unwillingness of Washington to purchase a Canadian aircraft when the US could pressure them to buy American planes and missiles, no doubt played a key role: "Instead of the CF-105, the RCAF invested in a variety of Century Series fighters from the United States. These included the F-104 Starfighter (46 percent of which were lost in Canadian service), and (more controversial, given the cancellation of the Arrow) the CF-101 Voodoo. The Voodoo served as an interceptor, but at a level of performance generally below that expected of the Arrow."
While we may never know reliably why Diefenbaker cancelled the Arrow or how Canada or Canadian industry might have followed a different path, there's no question of the superior capabilities of the Arrow. As it happens, one of the few pilots who had a chance to test the Arrow in an impromptu friendly dogfight is now-retired USAF fighter pilot Col. George Jatras, later US Air Attaché in Moscow (also, this analyst's father). As he related in 2017:
'I've received a number of messages in the last couple days about this bird, including some that say it may be revived. I don't know how The Arrow would compare to today's aircraft, but I had a first-hand lesson on how it faired against the F-102.
'In 1959, I was stationed at Suffolk County AFB on Long Island with the 2nd Fighter Interceptor Squadron. We had an informal exchange program with a Canadian fighter squadron stationed near Montreal. From time to time, two or four aircraft from one of the squadrons would fly to the other's base on a weekend cross country.
'On one such exchange, I was #3 in a four ship formation led by [former Tuskegee airman] Ernie Craigwell (I don't recall who the other pilots were). As we entered Canadian airspace, cruising at about 40,000 ft., we spotted a contrail well above our altitude (probably at 50,000ft.) and closing very fast. As the other aircraft appeared to be passing by, we could clearly see the delta shaped wing and knew it was the Avro Arrow that the Canadian pilots had told us about. Then, instead of just passing by, he rolled in on us! Ernie called for a break and we split into elements. When we talked about the encounter afterwards we all agreed that our first thought was, "This guy is in for a surprise; he doesn't know that he's taking on the F-102." Well, we were the ones in for a surprise. Even with two elements covering each other, not one of us could get on his tail. His power and maneuverability were awesome. After he had played with us for a few minutes, like a cat with four mice, he zoomed back up to about 50K and went on his way. What an aircraft! What a shame that it never went into production.'
What is perhaps most curious about the Arrow's demise is that "everything was ordered brutally destroyed; plans, tools, parts, and the completed planes themselves were to be cut up, destroyed, scrapped and everything made to disappear." Why? Well, security of course! Don't engage in conspiracy theories …
The Canadian national anthem finishes with a pledge: "O Canada, we stand on guard for thee." It should be noted that understandably resentful Loyalists fleeing the US following the American Revolution were a major contribution to the growth of Canada's English-speaking population. American troops – back when we were the plucky underdog fighting the mighty British Empire – invaded Canada in 1775 and during the War of 1812 but were defeated. Relations got testy during the American Civil War as well, and even afterwards the US was wary of a proposed united "Kingdom of Canada," hence the choice of the name "Dominion" in 1967. If today's Canadians think we-all down here don't know whom they've mostly had in mind to "stand on guard" against all this time, they'd better think again.
Maybe it's past time for Canadians to get serious again about their independence – eh?

Gareth Bale cleaned up ahead of Robin van Persie at the end of season awards ceremonies for the 2012/13 Premier League season – but was he the most dangerous player in the competition?
The Tottenham Hotspur talisman is being linked with world record transfer bids, so he must have been doing something right, but GMS was unsure about whether he deserved to win the awards ahead of Van Persie – though not the Young Player of the Year award, obviously.
However, the gongs were handed out after votes from peers and journalists, so one can't really criticise the legitimacy of Bale's triumph, only disagree – though he was bloody good.
GMS wanted something a little more concrete to hold on to, so we decided to try and illustrate the Premier League's most dangerous players through the glorious medium of statistics.
WhoScored.comWe feel that using the fantastic website that is , working out the most dangerous players in the league would not be too difficult.
Simply by adding together the number of assists and goals scored, we would essentially be able to see the players that were responsible for the most goals.
GMS are happy to accept some may not come to the same conclusion, but our thinking was basically this: the more goals there are because you scored or assisted them, the more dangerous a player you are.
We don't think that is too great a stretch of logic and we have worked out the five most dangerous players in the 2012/13 Premier League.

Korn Guitarist Munky Open to Welcoming Back Brian 'Head' Welch to the Band
Brian 'Head' Welch joined Korn live onstage for the first time in seven years on May 5 — playing 'Blind' with the band at the Carolina Rebellion festival in Rockingham, N.C. Now, it seems like a more permanent reunion may be a possibility. In a new interview, Korn guitarist James 'Munky' Shaffer revealed that he, and perhaps the entire band, is open to the idea.
"The whole thing needs to be approached very delicately, because it's such a fragile thing," says Munky to Pulse of the Radio. "It's just something that has to be super well-planned and it has to come naturally. And our experience with him on Saturday has all started from a positive place, and it wasn't forced and it was just natural. So I think if everything optimistically runs like that, that's all I can hope for. I'm really happy just to reconnect with my old friend."
Korn have just revealed a new batch of North American tour dates for 'The Path of Totality' tour, which will feature frontman Jonathan Davis performing an electronic set as 'J Devil.' Meanwhile, Munky's wife just announced that the couple is expecting their first child together.

How Did Eric Church's 'Chief' Album Land a #1 Debut?
With his first two albums, 2006′s 'Sinners Like Me' and 2009′s 'Carolina,' Eric Church enjoyed steadily, albeit modestly, increasing success — so you can imagine that a few industry eyebrows were raised when his latest release, 'Chief,' debuted at number one.
To celebrate Church's first chart-topper, Billboard devoted a recent feature to analyzing his sales spike — and interviewing industry insiders who shared their theories about how it happened.
"When people hear him, they are immediately interested," said Mike Dungan, president of Church's label home, Capitol/EMI Nashville. "Listen to all three of his albums back-to-back and I think you'll agree that there isn't one artist working in this town who has made three records in a row that are this great."
According to Dungan, building Church's audience organically was key. "He started playing smaller venues, playing later at night to mostly male audiences, and the word of mouth took him from playing for 100 people a night to thousands, so he's worked his way up to where he is now out on the road — and it keeps building."
Until now, it's been building without a lot of support from radio, according to Nate Deaton, the GM at KRTY in San Jose, California. "I think by and large country radio as a group has missed Eric Church," he points out. "Whether it be bias against different-sounding material or just that programmers don't get the connection he has with fans, they are simply wrong … The first album, 'Sinners Like Me,' may not have been a radio favorite, but anyone who has ever been to a Church show knows the impact it had. Watch the fans hold up their boots during 'These Boots,' or sing every word of 'Sinners Like Me' back to him and you'll see the impact the music has."
Church, of course, is grateful for his success, no matter the reason. "We played a lot of shows and we've made other records that people regarded well enough that they were going to buy this record. There was excitement. I didn't know there was this kind of excitement," he told Billboard. "I don't tweet. I'm not a Facebook guy. I don't do any of those things. To have this kind of success the first week, it's about the music. [It is] really restoring my faith."

Among the advantages of barefoot running extolled by many of its devotees is that running unshod is more efficient than running with clunky shoes.
But a new study by researchers at the University of Colorado's Locomotion Lab -- which has studied the metabolic costs of running and walking for decades -- has found that running with shoes is actually more efficient, using a measure of how much oxygen people consume (and how much carbon dioxide they produce) while running.
"Running in lightweight shoes requires about 3 to 4 percent less energy than running barefoot," said Jason Franz, a CU doctoral student who led the study.
The inspiration for the research came from Corbyn Wierzbinski, a CU undergraduate who co-authored the study. Wierzbinski's boyfriend had recently taken up barefoot running, and she wondered if the advantages she kept hearing about could be scientifically proven. The lab decided to look into one of the more popular assertions.
"We started to see these claims that barefoot running -- because you remove the weight of the shoe -- is more efficient," Franz said.
Other scientific studies have shown that the weight of a shoe does impact a runner's metabolic efficiency. And the CU study confirmed earlier conclusions that the metabolic costs creeps up by about 1 percent for every 100 grams of weight added to a runner's feet.
Franz, Wierzbinski and Rodger Kram, director of the Locomotion Lab, confirmed the findings with the help of 12 male subjects, all of whom were experienced barefoot runners (logging an average of 19 miles a week sans substantial shoes) and all of whom landed on the mid-sole of their feet while running with or without shoes. (Many people who run exclusively in shoes tend to strike first on their heels.)
The researchers also devised a system for adding weights to the top of the runners' feet when they were barefoot as well as when they ran in shoes. For the study, the participants ran exclusively on a treadmill and they wore thin yoga socks when they ran without shoes. When they ran with shoes, they wore the lightweight Nike Mayfly -- the study was not funded or sponsored by Nike or any shoe company -- which tips the scales at just 150 grams and which has some cushioning but no other "motion control elements," such as arch support.
When researchers added weight to runners' feet, their efficiency slipped proportionally to that weight, whether they wore shoes or not.
All things being equal, that would mean that running without the weight of shoes should be more efficient -- but the researchers discovered that all things aren't equal.
When subjects ran barefoot with an additional 150 grams of weight added to their feet, about the same amount of weight as a Mayfly running shoe, they were 3 to 4 percent less efficient than when they wore the Mayfly, according to the study published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.
The reason why is the subjects of another study at the Locomotion Lab. The research has yet to be completed, but Franz said that he thinks the drop in efficiency may have to do with the need for barefoot runners to compensate when the cushioning of the shoe is removed.
"The barefoot runner needs to cushion against the impact using their muscles," Franz said. "That requires a little bit of metabolic energy to cushion each stride."
Despite his study's findings, Franz notes that the research is not an endorsement for or against running barefoot.
"We recognize that people choose to run barefoot for a variety of reasons. Some want to connect to their inner caveman; some people think it protects against running-related injury," he said. "All we're trying to find out is if there is any scientific basis to those claims that it is more efficient."
Local barefoot running enthusiast -- and CEO of Invisible Shoes, a company that makes minimalist running sandals similar to those worn by the Tarahumara Indians in Mexico -- Steven Sashen said the kind of efficiency differences measured in the CU lab are so tiny that they may not matter to many barefoot runners.
"For most people, the kind of efficiency gain or loss that they're talking about is the kind of thing that most runners would never notice in a million years," he said.
He also is skeptical that having subjects pound out a workout on a treadmill wearing socks really approximates the barefoot running experience.
"Running on a treadmill is completely different from being barefoot," he said. "It's kind of like a medical study -- doing something in a test tube is not the same as doing it in the human body."
But Sashen agrees with Franz that there are many reasons to run that have nothing to do with efficiency.
"None of the research matters if you're having a good time," he said.

Homemade sauerkraut, in all its funky humility, is a favorite food in our home – particularly in wintertime when fresh, local produce is a rare treat and we rely on what we've put by over the summer and autumn months. For us, this means lots of fermented foods and sauerkraut in particular.
Health Benefits of Sauerkraut
The fermentation of cabbage into sauerkraut preserves it, providing a ready food for the cold days of winter when fresh food was scarce. So while early peoples preserved cabbage with salt in an effort to keep hunger away during the dark months, their method of preservation fulfilled another need: that of optimal nourishment.
The process of lactic acid fermentation used to transform salt and cabbage into sauerkraut increases food enzymes and vitamins, particularly vitamin B vitamins. Moreover, homemade sauerkraut is also extraordinarily rich in beneficial bacteria – friendly microorganisms which help to colonize the gut, train the immune system and manufacture vitamins in the digestive tract.
Why You Should Make Sauerkraut at Home
- Homemade sauerkraut is inexpensive to make, especially when you buy cabbage in season and in bulk. Comparatively the price for raw sauerkraut at the grocery store can often exceed $8/pint.
- You can adjust the flavor of the sauerkraut you make at home to suit your preferences, whether that's more sour or less, or whether you include additions like garlic, dill, caraway or hot peppers.
Homemade Sauerkraut Takes Time
Good things are worth waiting for and homemade sauerkraut takes time – a week for the impatient and months for those who love their sauerkraut with the same fervor that an oenophile devotes to wine. How long you allow your sauerkraut to ferment depends entirely on your preferences coupled with the quantity you're making.
- Small batches of sauerkraut need less time and large batches need more time.
- Sauerkraut will ferment faster at warm temperatures and more slowly in cold temperatures. But don't let your kitchen get too warm (more than 80 F) as it can make your sauerkraut mushy and introduce off-flavors, slow and low is a good rule of thumb.
- Taste your sauerkraut; some people prefer their sauerkraut sweet and barely sour, and others like their sauerkraut so sour it's like a punch in the mouth. After about a week of fermentation, begin tasting your kraut periodically until it achieves a flavor and level of sourness you like.
How to Store Homemade Sauerkraut
Sauerkraut, and other fermented cabbage dishes like Korean kimchi and South American curtido, are naturally preserved through the time-honored method of fermentation. When foods are fermented, beneficial microbes consume their carbohydrates and release acids, like lactic acid in the case of sauerkraut, which preserve the foods much in the way vinegar does.
- Canning sauerkraut is not necessary to preserve it. As long as your sauerkraut remains submerged in its brine in a sealed jar, at a cool temperature, it will stay preserved. The high heat of the canning pot will destroy the beneficial bacteria you've cultivated when you make sauerkraut. If you still wish to can you're sauerkraut, follow these guidelines.
- Cold temperatures that you find in root cellars, basements and your fridge will slow down the fermentation process almost to a halt. So, when your sauerkraut is finished, just spoon it into a mason jar, making sure it's covered with brine and store it in the fridge, root cellar or cold basement where it will keep at least a few months and up to a year.
Pro Tip: Use the Right Equipment
Using the right equipment is essential in preparing sauerkraut and minimizing contamination by stray microbes, molds and yeasts. These special crocks and jars are designed to create an anaerobic environment, optimal for preparing fermented vegetables like sauerkraut, that keeps oxygen (and potential contaminants) out while allowing the carbon dioxide that builds up during fermentation to escape.
For beginners, inexpensive glass jars equipped with airlocks work well and for those who love making fermented foods, a stoneware fermentation crock is a worthy investment.
If you decide to use a mason jar, which is pretty popular among beginners, invest in glass weights to keep the cabbage submerged and an airlock like this one to keep oxygen out.
|Homemade Sauerkraut
- 2 medium cabbage heads, about 5 pounds
- 2 tablespoons finely ground sea salt
- Fermentation Crock
- Kraut Pounder, optional
- Remove any bruised or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage, and then remove the cabbage's core. Slice the cabbage in long, thin shreds about ⅛-inch thick.
- Toss cabbage and salt together in a large mixing bowl and let it rest about five minutes, or until the cabbage begins to soften and release a little liquid, then squeeze the cabbage with your hands to further break up those thin shreds of vegetable and release more juice.
- When the cabbage has become limp and has released ample juice, transfer it to a sauerkraut crock or vegetable fermenter). Pack the salted cabbage into the crock or fermenter as tightly as you can, eliminating air bubbles. A kraut pounder is particularly helpful in packing the cabbage tightly within the crock.
- Continue packing the cabbage into the container until the cabbage is completely submerged by its liquid. Seal the crock and allow it to sit at room temperature, undisturbed, for at least 1 month and up to 6 months. testing the sauerkraut every few days until it is sour enough for your liking. Pack the sauerkraut into mason jars, and transfer to the refrigerator or other cold storage where it should keep for at least 6 months and up to 1 year.
To seal a glass jar equipped with an airlock (like this), fill the jar to its neck, place weights over the cabbage to ensure that the vegetable rests below its brine. Cover the jar with its lid, and insert the airlock. Fill the airlock with water to its fill line and snap its lid in place.

I got there at about 2:15 and kited until about 5:30. It wasnt the quality wind that we usually get at sherman, but the wind was definately better than being at work. I had to actually work to stay upwind in the lulls. The gusts did provide some really lofty jumps.
There were quite a few people at Baja at the end, but it was over quickly.
No worries pappa Zeev. It's been an amazing season. It's always a bit of a hiccup to wind down from the every day epic stuff, but I really don't mean to complain. Go get some when you can get some and enjoy!

I actually think that an idea can't really show the stats, it more or less shows a concept. I believe that stats reinforce the idea that is the concept of a character. As an idea is the skin, the stats are the bones beneath. I mean you can't have a real character, be it PC or NPC, without a solid idea and concept. Just creating something, doesn't truly help, at least in my opinion. I really don't want to offend anyone, with me being new here and all. I'll just drop an example;
Tergus Kithkeras was born and raised like many githzerai, in a fortress monastery in the Plane of Limbo. Tergus Kithkeras grew into a great leader and fighter in the war against the illithids. Tergus has led many Rrakkma raiding parties; in each he destroyed many more illithids than other Rrakkma of the same size. Tergus was celebrated a hero after near a decade of successful Rrakkma.A great illithid leader, Larkt, became driven with a new goal, the downfall of Tergus Kithkeras. He would bring him down after destroying his will to fight and then he would break his mind. First Larkt set forth his plan by secretly recruiting other gith from both sides through secret channels. His first goal was to turn Tergus's friends and allies against him by making him look like a githyanki sympathizer. He planted a githyanki child and the doorstep of his wife, knowing she would hide the child and raise it. She did and after a year Tergus actually began to see this youth as a way to mend the bridge between the gith and maybe even bring peace to their broken people. His plan backfired when Larkt had the information leaked to several githzerai that had great hatred for the githyanki. Tergus Kithkeras was tried for treason for taking in the youth, his background saved his life, and Larkt knew this would happen. When Tergus was sentenced, the child would be executed, his wife would also be executed for treason and he would be exiled.His heart broken and his life in shambles he was exiled, he was left in the underdark to die.Tergus was heart broken and shattered, at his weakest he sat in the dark waiting for some creature to come and take his life. Instead, Larkt came to him and with promises of revenge for the death of his child and wife seduced him. Tergus Kithkeras submitted to his new master and became an enemy of his own people; before it was done one more tragedy would take place. Tergus changed his name to Gith'kirak -which means One who Kills Gith in his tongue- and undertook the ritual to become a half-illithid.Gith'kirak now hunts his own kind, full of hatred for the death of his family. He has even come to discover Larkt was behind the whole thing but sees his illithid master as a savior, the one who opened his eyes to the evil of the gith, an evil more treacherous than what any illithid has ever done to him.

This posting as a character alone, doesn't do it justice at all, but leaving the stats out of it kind of feels empty. Together though, it feels much better, you can see how strong the character is, without spending a paragraph paraphrasing what he can do with his strength, you just look at the stat.
Don't worry about us, we don't get offended very easy and we all enjoy a good conversational disagreement if only to solidify our own philosophy on it.
GITHZERAI!!!!!! I EFFIN LOVED GITHZERAI back in the day. They were less ostentatious and in-your-face than Githyanki, and had that whole "monk" thing going for them, but still had the freaky flesh-sacks hanging off their elbows! Yeah!

This is part of my nut tree phase. I got a whole bunch of nut trees froms Willis Orchard Company. The benefit of the All In One is that it doesnt need a pal to germinate with.
I ordered this in December 2010 and planted taking the risk of frost damage, and as you can see, its still alive, I was actually amazed. Its not best placed but I dont too much, it should at least grow.
Still alive. the stemm is a bit rotten but I have painted that with bark protector/healer so hopefully it might recover?
Obviously this has only been in the ground for 4 months so theres not much of a story as of yet.
When it arrived it was just roots, it didnt arrive in a pot or anything. I thought I took some photos of the roots but maybe not?
Well, the exciting news is that the All In One Almond made a recovery which was nice. Must have been the hot summer and lack of water, but its now back in action with two new shoots.
Not looking too good. Im guessing that at some stage it got too dry and it sort of looks dead but I have looked at it very closely and determined that it does have what look like sort of healthy buds on it so im hoping that this two weeks of water water water will bring it back from the dead.

This morning I opened my e-mail to find something beautiful. I'm not talking the kind of beautiful that the stars have -- air-brushed "perfection" unattainable in the real world. I'm not talking about the kind of beautiful that advertisers sell to the masses. I'm talking about a beautiful story of a mother's love, a young man's incredible gift. It had me in tears -- the best tears really.
For those of us who struggle each day, who face challenges (and who doesn't?) and who sometimes wonder how to keep on going, this story gives inspiration. Won't you watch it, too?

What's Normal Anyway?
Sarah and Carmen Anthony Sacco
Carmen Anthony, Sarah and Abbi often ponder the meaning of "normal." Anthony's music brought him healing after his diagnosis with AIDS in 2000 when he was given six months to live. Sarah was diagnosed with HIV in 2003 at the age of 23. They met at a support group and embarked on life's adventure together. Then, along came Abbi -- a precious gift free from HIV! Life as a family with AIDS is not what anyone imagined, but it is full of music, blessings, and chaos!
