The foreign ministry handed a formal protest note to British Ambassador John Freeman in Buenos Aires.
The note rejects London's claim since 1908 to a chunk of Antarctic known as the British Antarctic Territory, and it criticises what Argentina calls Britain's "imperialistic ambitions going back to ancient practices."
Separately David Cameron urged Falkland Islanders to use a forthcoming referendum to send a "definitive" message to the international community about their wishes for the future of their homeland.
In a Christmas message to the Islanders, the Prime Minister reinforced his commitment to their rights, saying "there is no justification for any country to try and deny you the right to democracy and self-determination".
Argentina has made increasingly aggressive claims to the islands, which Buenos Aires refers to as Las Malvinas.
In March, Falklanders will vote on whether they wish to maintain their status as a UK overseas territory.
Mr Cameron yesterday made clear he hoped they would vote emphatically to retain their links to Britain. He also attacked Argentine President Cristina Kirchner's government for its behaviour.
"I value deeply the UK's relationship with the Falklands and hope it will long continue. But it is not my decision, nor is it Argentina's, it is yours and yours alone," the Prime Minister said.
"This referendum is true democracy in action, an opportunity to show the international community what you want for your future and to show it definitively. I hope all of you seize it."
He added: "President Kirchner's government appears determined to argue that you should have no say in how you are governed. They continue to misrepresent the history of your islands and the current realities of life there.
"It is a pity that Argentina persists in behaving this way. The UK would like to have a more positive relationship with the government of Argentina.
"But the British Government will not stand by and allow your human rights to be ignored. There is no justification for any country to try and deny you the right to democracy and self-determination, nor to make attempts to isolate you, block your trade and undermine your legitimate fisheries, hydrocarbons and tourism industries."
The message comes as the Queen appoints Colin Roberts as the new Governor for the Falklands. Former governor Sir Rex Hunt, who was expelled by the Argentines during the 1892 invasion, died last month. He was hailed by Mr Cameron in Friday's message as "a brave and dedicated public servant".
British relations with Argentina have been increasingly strained in recent months, after intimidation by Argentine nationalists caused the cancellation of several visits by cruise ships to the islands.
Operators such as P&O have said that, whilst ships would continue with visits to Stanley in the Falkland Islands, they would no longer call into Puerto Madryn, Ushuaia and Buenos Aires.
The cancellations came after protesters ransacked the Buenos Aires offices of a travel agency offering cruises last November. A spokesperson for P&O said: "As a British cruise company we cannot allow ourselves to be the subject of any political dispute or put our customers and crew into any situation where their enjoyment may be compromised."

Firm exploring class action after victory in Ontario
The Manitoba Developmental Centre means jobs for Portage la Prairie residents
For years, advocates for the mentally and physically disabled have demanded the province close the Manitoba Developmental Centre and relocate its residents to group homes to provide better care.
For just as many years, the province has resisted those demands — despite no longer admitting new patients to the Portage la Prairie facility and placing many others in group homes — allowing MDC to live on indefinitely.
However, the province may no longer be able to duck the issue of the MDC and its continued existence if a Toronto law firm weighs in on the debate.
Koskie Minsky, which last fall won a $35-million settlement against Ontario for abuse suffered by residents of facilities for the developmentally disabled, is looking to file a similar class-action suit in Manitoba.
Celeste Poltak, a lawyer with Koskie Minsky, said her firm would very much like to launch a class action for MDC residents, although it has not yet identified a representative plaintiff on whose behalf an action could be filed. Poltak said it is her firm's policy not to directly approach anyone to serve as a lead plaintiff. However, with the additional publicity surrounding the Huronia settlement, Poltak said it is her hope someone will come forward.
"We're certainly trying to get the word out across the country about how the case was resolved in Ontario," Poltak said in an interview.
Threatening a lawsuit is certainly a long way away from filing a lawsuit, and the province, contacted last week, declined to comment on Koskie Minsky's interest in Manitoba.
Still, this is one of the country's leading class-action firms with a record of success that will, should a suit be filed, command the province's attention.
Koskie Minsky was a lead firm in the residential schools class action, and has also recently filed suit against Ontario for abuse suffered by child wards of the Crown.
Poltak noted the Huronia case has many points of resonance for the experience of residents of the MDC.
The Huronia Regional Centre in Orilla, north of Toronto, had been operated by the Province of Ontario for more than 133 years when it was finally shuttered in 2009. The firm had originally sought $2 billion in compensation for about 4,500 individuals who had been residents in the facility between 1945 and 2009.
It had been expected a trial would have taken nearly four years to complete, Poltak said. Last September, the province announced it had reached a settlement. Residents who either did not suffer direct abuse, or cannot describe it in specific detail, may receive as little as $2,000; those who detail specific incidents of abuse will receive up to $42,000.
A similar class action in Manitoba could very well put the province in a difficult position. Despite general agreement the MDC should be closed, the province has been slow to relocate the remaining 220 residents.
For a long time, successive provincial governments in Manitoba have resisted calls to close the MDC, once home to more than 1,100 residents, because even in its diminished form, it remains a major employer in Portage la Prairie.
However, in the mid-2000s a complaint to the Manitoba Human Rights Commission resulted in a deal with the province to move 49 residents out of MDC into group homes. The complaint was filed after the NDP government announced it was spending $40 million to renovate the aging institution.
Demands to shutter MDC intensified in February when a provincial court judge released an inquest report into the 2011 death of a 51-year-old woman who had been a resident of the facility for more than 40 years.
The woman slipped down in her wheelchair and was strangled by a seatbelt. The inquest concluded a lack of staff — there were only two nursing assistants on staff to oversee more than two dozen residents the night the woman died — and poor communication led to the death.
However, the judge said it was beyond his authority to close the MDC.
Poltak said closure of the facility is not necessarily a goal of the class action. As well, any decision to close the MDC before a class action was filed would not, on its own, defuse the suit. Poltak noted the Huronia suit was filed several years after it was closed.
At one time, large institutional facilities were considered de rigueur for the treatment of the developmentally disabled. However, quite a long time ago, disabled activists proved that for a gross majority of those residents, institutional care was not only unnecessary, it was dangerous and unhealthy.
For many years, successive governments in Manitoba made political decisions to keep the MDC open even as evidence about better, healthier options continued to accumulate.
If a class action is filed on behalf of the residents of the MDC, we'll finally get to see just how expensive those political decisions were.

If you were going to hire a fabrication god to scratchbuild the car of your choice, what would it be? It's hard to go wrong with the Toyota 2000GT, and that's what's happened here.
The 2000GT is one of those cars you might not be able to buy, period; the few that exist no doubt live behind quadruple-locked, nuke-proof steel doors, and the typical 2000GT owner would sell several internal organs before parting with the car. That's where Shin Yoshikawa comes in. A 2000GT chassis (no, we don't know who built it) and a bunch of aluminum comes into his shop, and what comes out is pure beauty. Yoshikawa's English takes some odd twists and turns, but his descriptions get the job done; check out his site when you're done here.

Shows McVeigh was in military receiving instruction in "explosives and demolition" over a year after official story says he was discharged, whistleblower harassed for years while unknowingly in possession of bombshell tape
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones
Prison Planet
Monday, December 18, 2006
A video that shows Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh at a U.S. military base that specializes in explosives and demolition training over a year after he supposedly left the army puts the official story of the April 19 1995 federal building bombing under serious doubt and mandates a re-opening of an investigation into the terror attack that killed 168 people.
The video was released by Bill Bean, a film producer who has suffered intense surveillance and harassment since taking the footage, and is the subject of a February 2007 Hustler Magazine feature story.
On August 3rd 1993, Bean was given a tour of the Camp Grafton military facility in North Dakota as part of a research effort to scout possible shooting locations for a film he was working on. Bean met the Camp Superintendent Col. Dahl and was permitted to film every location he visited.
Bean takes up the story, "I videotaped all locations as possible future shot sites even if there was no actual scene written for that location. Mess Hall, Rec Room, Armory, etc. About an hour into the tour we passed by a long row of tanks and I was informed these had been used in the Gulf War. In fact I believe I was told there were captured tanks there also. While videotaping and viewing this location, two soldiers began to offload what I was told was an armored personnel carrier from a flatbed. One soldier driving the other directing from the ground. I watched them for a moment and then did a slow 360 with my camera and came back to them."
Given permission to board the tank, Bean walked over and pointed the camera inside, at which point one of the soldiers turned around and, appearing somewhat shocked to see the camera, uttered a brief response to Bean's question and attempted to push past him.
That individual has now been positively identified to be Timothy McVeigh, who according to the official timeline as endorsed by the FBI, was honorably discharged from the military for the last time in May 1992. And yet he is seen here on tape at a U.S. military base over a year after that date in August of 1993.
"I did not realize how significant what I had was, for many years," states Bean, "It was not until Mcveigh's trial that I realized it was Mcveigh in the tank. Even then the larger point escaped me. That point is, McVeigh was not supposed to be in the military at that time. His military record shows him enlisting in 1988, being honorably discharged from the Army, on Dec. 31, 1991. His records then show he was in the Army reserve in Buffalo New York, from January 1992 until May 1992, he was then honorably discharged from the Army reserve. After May of 1992 he was never again in uniform on any base anywhere, never again part of the military. He was totally out of military service. The FBI states the only time they lose track of McVeigh, in his entire life, is the late summer of 93. They think he was somewhere between Kingman Arizona and Decker Michigan. Probably at gun shows, meeting antigovernment rightwing militia types. But he wasn't, he was at Camp Grafton, in uniform, learning explosives and demolition!"
To confirm that the individual in the tape was indeed McVeigh, Bean presented the video to Prof. Blomgren of the University of Utah, who then undertook a voice forensics analysis. The results produced an 86% match for the voice characteristics heard in the video compared to those taken from a 60 Minutes interview with McVeigh.
Though in a response to Hustler the North Dakota National Guard denied McVeigh was ever present at Camp Grafton, they did confirm that demolitions training is part of the regimen at the facility.
Bean provided us with a list of suspicious telephone calls, examples of harassment and surveillance that he had been targeted for in the seven year period after filming McVeigh, starting in 1994. Much of the surveillance and spying occurred even before Bean became aware that he had filmed Timothy McVeigh.
"On Wed June 19th 2002, my mother who lived with me was talking to a relative in Washington state. The relative said the line sounded "strange" my mother said "Yea, the phone is tapped!" At that point the phone went dead," claims Bean.
"Or, look at January 14th Tues 2003. We lived on the third floor of an apt. building. A green station wagon, Illinois plates HYB115, parked down two doors and sat there with the engine on. For over 25 minutes a woman sat in the driver's seat looking up in our window. All the while she kept a running dialogue with someone who wasn't there. She held a device, thin, dark plastic or metal up to her mouth and then would read something on it. She did this for more than 25 minutes. When my mother who was suffering from cancer, walked into the room, I whispered in her ear what was happening. Being a sick old woman she said out loud, "who is looking in our window from a car?" At that point the woman shoved the car in gear and sped away tires screeching!"
The fact that McVeigh was still involved with the U.S. army long after his supposed honorable discharge only amplifies long-standing questions that severely undermine the official explanation behind the Oklahoma City bombing.
– In early April 1995 a Ryder truck identical to the one used in the bombing was filmed by a pilot during an overflight of of an area near Camp Gruber-Braggs, Oklahoma. A June 17th, 1997 Washington Post article authenticates the photos as being exactly what they appear to be, photos of a Ryder truck in a clandestine base at Camp Gruber-Braggs. Why were the military in possession of a Ryder truck housed in a remote clandestine army base days before the Alfred P. Murrah bombing?
– In a 1993 letter to his sister, McVeigh claimed that he was approached by military intelligence and had joined an "elite squad of government paid assassins." McVeigh often contradicted himself and changed his story on a whim to fit in with the latest government version of events. Is the Camp Grafton footage evidence of McVeigh's enrollment in such a clandestine program?
– The August 1993 footage neatly fills in an unexplained gap in McVeigh' timeline that even the FBI cannot explain. Was this gap deliberately left ignored to avoid a probe into McVeigh's activities at Camp Grafton?
– The FBI claimed McVeigh scouted the Alfred P. Murrah building weeks before the bombing and yet on the morning of the attack he stopped at a local gas station to ask directions.
– Multiple reports of Arabs at the scene assisting McVeigh were ignored and surveillance tapes were withheld under national security. The likely reason for this was the fact that Bush senior and Clinton were responsible for bringing in nearly 1,000 Iraqi soldiers captured by U.S. forces during the 1991 Persian Gulf War, some of whom were involved in the bombing.
– Original reports of two explosions and several failed devices being defused by bomb squads were buried by the establishment as the official explanation that McVeigh acted alone was pushed.
– Many eyewitnesses reported that bomb squads in full reaction gear were seen around the building immediately before the blast.

'Chemical gardens' could hold the key to understanding the origins of life on Earth
The "chemical garden," a school classroom chemistry experiment, in which beautiful plant-like structures sprout in a test tube, has become the linchpin for real-world scientific experiments that aim to shed light on the origins of life on Earth. Those Gardens of Eden and a "battery" that could have kick-started life are the topic of a story in the current edition of Chemical & Engineering News.
Carmen Drahl, C&EN senior editor, explains that chemical gardens are experiments with roots dating to 1646 in which metal salt crystals, such as iron chloride, make contact with water glass—a syrupy solution of sodium silicate—or other solutions. The result is the growth of plant-like structures within minutes to hours. Chemical gardens aren't alive, but they have become an inspiration for origin-of-life research at hydrothermal vents. Mineral-rich fluid from deep within Earth's surface pours out of these submarine springs and solidifies into formations, often several stories high, with similarities to chemical gardens.
Some scientists regard hydrothermal vents as places where life may first have originated on Earth, the article points out. It explains why the vents and their chimney-like counterparts to classroom chemical gardens may have been ideal for life's origins. One research project involves establishing that electric currents can flow from substances inside the flower-like structures in a chemical garden to the outside. If so, chemical gardens could become the equivalent of the "battery" that might have jump-started life billions of years ago.

TODAY's Al Roker reports that temperatures across the country are much warmer than usual for this time of year, with some areas experiencing highs that are 20 to 30 degrees above normal.
If you like your early Decembers mild and with just a touch of snow, this one's for you: Not only have temperatures been warm in many parts, just 7 percent of the continental U.S. is currently covered with snow — a much smaller footprint than the 32 percent this time last year.
"After last year's exceptionally low seasonal snowfall and record warmth for much of the nation, this year's lack of snowfall, even at this early date in the season, is a bit disconcerting," Tom Niziol, the winter weather expert at weather.com, told NBC News. "Some of that anxiety comes from the fact that much of the nation is already under significant drought conditions, so any lack of precipitation, frozen or unfrozen, contributes to that drought."
Some Midwest cities known for snow haven't seen any so far this season. Moreover, due to a warm spring, they are closing in on their records for most days without snow.
Chicago has gone 275 days without measurable snow through Tuesday, weather.com reported. The record, set in 1994, is 280 days. The city's average snow total by Dec. 4 is 2.2 inches. Milwaukee, Wis., and Des Moines, Iowa, are on similar tracks.
Omaha, Neb., on Wednesday tied its no-snow record of 285 days.
Data compiled by the National Weather Service since 2003 show that no other Dec. 5 was in single digits in terms of snow cover — and 2005 was up to 48 percent.
As far as temperatures go, more than 1,600 daily warm temperatures were tied or broken during the week of Nov. 27 to Dec. 3, weather.com noted.
Wednesday's forecast included temperatures "anywhere from 10 to almost 30 degrees above normal" in some places, NBC News meteorologist Al Roker said on TODAY. Cities in that range include Billings, Mont.; Amarillo, Texas; Tucson, Ariz.; Columbia, S.C.; and St. Louis.
On Tuesday, record highs for a Dec. 4 were set in various cities, including: Syracuse, N.Y. (70 degrees); Flint, Mich. (65); Georgetown, Del. (73); and Morgantown, W.Va. (69).
Cold air has been "trapped in Canada and Alaska," weather.com said. But, starting Friday, the Midwest and Plains should turn cooler.
By early next week temperatures will be below freezing and the system could produce "the season's first significant, plowable snow in many locations," weather.com stated.
Chicago, which reached 70 degrees on Monday, might even get snow, but don't expect it on the East Coast.
"Depending on how the storm develops, snow and wind could continue into Monday over the Great Lakes, including Chicago," weather.com noted. "By the time the frontal system gets into the East, rain looks likely to fall in most areas, including the I-95 urban corridor."
In Minnesota, locals looking forward to the first measurable snow this season include the owner of a store that sells snow blowers, NBC affiliate KARE11.com reported.
"Six inches would be great, just anything we can get that people have to get out in the driveway and clear the snowfall," said owner Ed Veits.
Weather.com's Niziol echoed that concern.
"Even though we are still over two weeks from astronomical winter, many people from the north are looking for some sign of winter," he noted. Even with some Arctic air moving in this weekend "there is nothing that shows a sustained push of very cold air from Canada for an extended period of time. We will just have to wait and see."

CANCUN, Mexico -- Red-eyed and rumpled climate change negotiators stood just after 1 a.m. Saturday in the hotel ballroom that had been converted into a U.N. plenary hall embracing one another and patting colleagues on the back.
After a marathon 24 hours of closed-door bargaining, the exhausted delegates were anxious to have the fruits of their labor adopted. Two preliminary votes had already been won. They knew they were close. Then Bolivia took the floor. There was an audible groan throughout the room and even a few half-hearted boos.
"It is totally inadequate," said Bolivian Ambassador Pablo Solon regarding the ability of the "Cancun Agreement" to rein in catastrophic consequences of global warming. Rejecting the text unequivocally, he said, "Bolivia does not support this objective."
But unlike last year's U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) summit in Copenhagen, Denmark, when Bolivia and a handful of others brought decisionmaking to a standstill, this year the president of the talks said "consensus does not mean unanimity" and gaveled through the agreements over Bolivia's objection.
The result, said ministers and analysts alike, was a set of agreements that restored widespread confidence in the U.N. climate talks. UNFCCC Chief Christiana Figueres declared her bureaucracy "back on track." Indian Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh declared, "Multilateralism lives to fight another day."
And E.U. Climate Commissioner Connie Hedegaard emerged saying, "We have proven that multilateralism can produce results."
But beneath the cheers, experts say serious questions still remain about whether 194 countries can truly mitigate greenhouse gas emissions or whether another more nimble forum is needed.
"I think that there's justifiable skepticism in the U.S. about using the U.N. as the negotiating point for emissions reduction commitments," said Paul Bledsoe, a senior adviser at the Washington-based Bipartisan Policy Center.
"It's largely unworkable to get 194 countries to come to a consensus on those issues," he said. "I don't believe it's possible."
Bledsoe said Cancun did "provide a measure of redemption and new momentum for the U.N. process" but said a smaller forum like the Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate -- which brings together the world's largest carbon emitters and sometimes a few others -- would reach an agreement on emissions more quickly and effectively.
"Once the outline of a deal is reached among the biggest emitters, it could be a basis for a U.N. deal," he added.
Protecting 'most vulnerable' nations
Much of what happened in Cancun this year is viewed through the lens of Copenhagen, which was widely seen as a fiasco after Bolivia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba and Sudan blocked the adoption of the Copenhagen Accord. That agreement, brokered by the United States, assigned mitigation responsibilities for the first time to major developing countries like India and China.
In the months to follow, critics asked if the U.N. process is "broken" and whether climate talks need a new forum -- one in which five countries cannot upend the decision of 189.
Michael Levi, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations who closely follows the climate talks, said it is "partly true" that the agreement in Cancun vindicated the U.N. system as a vehicle for slowing global warming. But, he said, the outcome still shows that the UNFCCC is not the only forum for climate talks.
"The process worked because it was well-managed and it focused on a set of things where the U.N. is fairly well-suited," like establishing the basic characteristics for a review process, or ironing out how to reflect each country's emission pledge, Levi said.
But, he noted, the United Nations wisely stayed away this time from the things it simply is not good at, like pushing countries to raise the ambition level of their emission targets or deciding how to raise money for vulnerable countries.
But environmentalists and representatives for small countries say these more ambitious issues of emissions-reduction and finance are best addressed in a global forum, where developing nations are present to apply pressure. Processes like the Major Economies Forum, or MEF, should be secondary to the U.N. process, they say.
"It is good for major economies to come together. They share similar challenges, and talk about how they can solve these issues," said Jennifer Morgan, climate and energy program director at the World Resources Institute.
"But at the end of the day, this is the only forum where every country in the world has a voice. And the poorest countries in the world have a voice here, the most vulnerable countries in the world have a voice here. It's the only legitimate forum," she said.
Without input from nations that are most threatened by climate change, she said, major emitters are likely to agree among themselves on a less meaningful and laxer target.
"There's the risk of the lowest common denominator," she said.
Indeed, a number of experts said it was not the multilateral system that broke down in Copenhagen, but actions by the United States, Denmark and other countries which shut out -- either inadvertently or intentionally -- nations that felt they had a right to be heard.
Obama administration leaders have consistently noted that the Copenhagen Accord was negotiated by about 30 leaders representing all of the main U.N. groups and parts of the world. But developing nations are quick to point out that the United States and European nations hand-picked the representatives who would be in the closed-door meetings. That in particular rankled nations wedded to the U.N. system of selecting a country themselves to represent their block when smaller negotiations are called.
Ned Helme, president of the Center for Clean Air Policy, said the Mexican government shifted hard in the opposite direction, and it worked. Negotiators did meet in small groups but, he noted, the Mexican presidency set up a "green room" of sorts in which any nation could make its views heard at any time.
With the exception of Bolivia, that system was particularly helpful in staving off a late-night fight with the leftist Latin American countries known as the ALBA nations that blocked last year's Copenhagen Accord.
"Somebody said to me that the ALBA countries got more air time than they deserve," Helme said. But, he said, that is what the negotiations needed this year. "Everyone's been bashing the U.N. system. Mexico's shown how you do it. This reassures people this is a place where you can get stuff done."
'Everything was open'
M. Komi Tomyeba, a negotiator for Togo, said the Mexicans had indeed improved the tone of the negotiations simply by ensuring that countries felt heard.
"When we as a developing country looked at this document -- issues around finance, how funding will be raised and distributed ... the organizers in the country very openly took care of every question," he said.
"Everything was open," he added. "There was not any frustration, so people were free to be themselves and to say what there was to say."
Had Cancun ended the way Copenhagen did, said John Ashe, ambassador to the United Nations for Antigua and Barbuda, the process might have been in trouble.
"It is important that we be seen to be doing something on something as important as this," Ashe said. "It is hard to know whether or not if we failed here the process would come crashing down. It would certainly put some strains on the system, I can see that much."
Still, he said the U.N. process is the most appropriate forum for an agreement on global warming, because it is a global organization.
"Given the nature of the agreement, where it affects every country, and it's a problem that requires a commitment of some sort from every nation, it would be nice if they had a voice in the ultimate determination," Ashe said. "Perhaps that is why this has worked in the past. Now is it the perfect vehicle? We don't know. Until something else comes along, it will have to do."

Remember the days you phoned up a friend and asked them to come over? You would then have to phone them back, hoping to catch them to tell them to bring something with them, maybe a game or a video game controller so you could play TV games together. These days you message a friend and you meet online where you can socialize and play at your convenience.
Online gaming has increased from strength to strength in the past few years, there are more people playing online than ever before. I think this is probably a result of faster internet connections and the ability to play against other people all over the world whenever you want. There are five main reasons why online gaming is constantly growing, they are:
Constant Accessibility
The biggest draw for online gaming is the fact that you have constant access. The gaming sites are accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and there are always people online to play against or with.
Games have become such a sociable event online, which is a huge draw card for the majority of players. But it's the accessibility and convenience of the gaming structure with its high definition graphics and sound that is so appealing.
Don't get me wrong players still use Xbox and PlayStation games as well, but these have even moved to the virtual realm of things. You can now buy gaming console games which require internet access enabling you to play with or against your friends.
The cloud has made this even easier for many online gaming sites; the speeds have been improved, ensuring easy access for all the players who are gaming online.
Multi-Player Games
There has been a lot of controversy over whether online gaming is a healthy option. Remember we used to play in the park or ride our bicycles down the street, these days children play games on the internet, glued to their computers.
But in reality it is a very sociable gaming experience. Friends can meet up and chat, you meet people from all over the world making new friends and you get to play against your friends as though they were sitting right next to you.
With internet speeds what they are today, the streaming is seamless, this enables all players to play and chat at the same time with real time voice, so you can just chat away into your headset as you play and your friend on the other side can hear you and comment. It's great fun.
Improving Skills and Gaining Confidence
Most of the online games today have an area where you can go and practice before you join the virtual world. This is where players can gain their confidence by improving their gaming skills. It's an opportunity to play without actually being competitive in anyway, once you are comfortable you can join the live games and play to your heart's content.
Skills are improved through the information provided by these gaming sites, they often have instructions on how to play the games and rules, so you can follow the step by step instructions until you are comfortable enough to face the game on your own.
Wide Selection
There are so many online games available from shooting games and war games to online casino games such as poker, bingo and slot machines. With such a wide selection to choose from with the click of a mouse, it's no surprise more people are turning to online gaming.
Before online gaming you had to go to a casino to play a game or you had to go to a gaming store and search for the games you wanted, probably pay way too much money and then go home to play. With online gaming you can play anytime you have the internet, so you don't even have to be at home. You can have your laptop at your favourite coffee shop and have a game or two before heading off, it is so convenient.
The great thing about online gaming is there are games for everyone. Not everyone enjoys casino games and at the same time not everyone enjoys shooting games. Time management games, problem solving games and hidden treasure games are also on the top of the list when it comes to playing online games.
Online Gaming is Affordable
The one thing that has always struck me is how expensive it is to buy a game at the store. A new release game can cost you a fair chunk of change, but when you get home and find it online you can play online or download it for a fraction of the price.
Combine price with variety and gamers can enjoy so many more games for the same price they would pay for one game in the shops. That is reason enough for me to enjoy online gaming and it's easy to see why it's become so popular in the past couple of years.
You can take your online gaming experience to a new level and learn how to play poker for free or you can give a hand at cash tables and see how your online gaming experience soars to new heights.

"WERE GONNA BUILD A STADIUM.. AND MAKE LIVERPOOL FANS PAY FOR IT" Donald Anderson
Bit disappointed we have no design to look at as such.
made up I didn't go now if Moshiri has stood up and said "I read Sam's autobiography before we brought him in"no images of a new stadium that is expected to be built in 3 and a half years is also a bit odd
It's not the best thing though is it. It's brilliant and something that we should be proud of, but It's not the first thing you think of when someone asks you why you continue to support Everton.

This is a series of videos about the history of highways in Alabama. The time period spanned is from the earliest days of Alabama to the Interstate age.
Length: 07:24
The earliest forms of transportation in Alabama involved trails followed by animals and Native Americans. These trails lead to water, and Alabama rivers served as a gathering place for many early Indian settlements. It is along the paths of Native American trails that the first highway systems were developed.
Length: 12:27
Using the old Native American trails, white settlers to Alabama begin the first transportation system in the state. Early roads were simply dirt paths widened for wagons and animals. Later corduroy and plank roads covered the dirt helping to eliminate the muddy conditions that followed rain. River transportation and the first railroads also played a large part in the growth of Alabamas transportation during this time. The invention of the automobile caused a revolution in the transportation world and increased the need for a better highway system.
Length: 07:24
As the growth of the automobile industry continued and more and more people purchased cars, a system of good highways was in demand. United States legislators and senators became involved in passing bills to establish federal highways and to provide monies for the construction and maintenance of those roads. This boom in the building of new roadways led to both good and bad practices and called for innovative ways to raise money to match the demand.
Length: 18 min, 55 Secs
The development of a transportation system in Alabama first included river towns, then upland towns serving as railroad stops, and then highway towns as roads were built to connect the shortest distance between places. Politics and highway construction have gone hand in hand as elected officials made decisions about where roads would be built and how monies would be spent. President Eisenhower established the Interstate System and automobile travel became the major source of transportation for people and goods.
Length: 08:05
The development of a highway and byway system leads to growth and prosperity in Alabama, but with the amount of traffic on the roadways comes the rise in highway related accidents and death. National and State safety boards and law enforcement personnels work to make the highways safer and laws are enacted to make road travel less of a risk.

John Legend
Name at birth: John Stephens
John Legend's debut album, Get Lifted, mixed classic R&B grooves with modern hip-hop sounds (and artists) and was one of 2005's top albums, ending the year with a Grammy for Best R&B Album. Legend's career began while he was still a college student in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, when he was picked to play on Lauryn Hill's "Everything is Everything" (1998). After finishing school he began playing clubs on the east coast of the United States, gaining an audience and getting the notice of recording artists and producers as an accomplished studio musician. His session work in the late '90s and early '00s included guest spots with several top recording acts, but it was Kanye West who helped Legend leap into the spotlight and a deal with Columbia Records. Legend, a piano player and singer who has also worked with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, chose from the more than three dozen songs he'd been performing in clubs to put together Get Lifted, and by the end of 2005 the album had produced hit songs including "Used to Love U" and Song of the Year nominee "Ordinary People." His next release, Once Again (2006), included the singles "Save Room" and "Heaven," and then Legend turned his focus to writing songs for the likes of Whitney Houston, Jennifer Hudson and Aretha Franklin. In 2015, Legend won an Oscar for producing and co-writing the theme song for the movie Selma, "Glory."
Get Lifted earned Legend a total of eight nominations; he won Best New Artist and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.

The verdict on Adobe Creative Cloud for teams: FindLaw's Abraham Bumpus
An American Bar Association survey found that half of Americans would search online to find a lawyer if they needed one. One of their likely destinations is FindLaw.com, the world's most popular destination for consumers looking for legal information or an attorney. Or they may end up at one of the websites designed by FindLaw for attorneys and small law firms. FindLaw, a Thomson Reuters business, specializes in designing award-winning websites that help law firms connect with qualified clients. Design manager Abraham Bumpus says his team of 27 designers uses Adobe Creative Cloud for teams to develop both traditional web and mobile solutions. Abe estimates each designer works on at least 100 sites every year using solutions such as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, delivering properly layered PSD files without writing code. The team may also produce associated identity materials using Adobe InDesign and Acrobat Pro.
As design manager, Abe recommended purchasing Adobe Creative Cloud for teams to accommodate his diverse and dispersed staff of full-time employees, which include flex-time, in-office, and remote-access designers. So far, Abe says the transition to the Cloud has been great—for him and his staff.
Adobe – Tell us about yourself.
Abe – I have a multimedia degree in visual communications from Collins College in Tempe, Arizona. I've worked for printers, agencies, and corporations doing design, project management, and operations. I have a freelance business building websites, too.
After I moved to Minnesota, I applied at FindLaw as a design team lead. I saw a lot of opportunity as Thomson Reuters is a huge proponent of technology. I do a lot of management and provide direction for the team. I manage mobile processes and work with the product and marketing teams to bring new products to market. The best part is mentoring employees and working with others to get the right products to FindLaw's customers.
Adobe – Why is Adobe Creative Cloud for teams such a good solution for FindLaw?
Abe – First, Creative Cloud is amazing because you get all the software in one seat. Because I do freelance work at home, I got a Creative Cloud membership for myself for $29 a month and have been using it consistently. That's how I knew Creative Cloud for teams would be a great solution for FindLaw. Employees have access to their day-to-day tools, plus other tools that they may use less frequently. We can experiment with what's new and learn about different tools and improve the way we do things. That's why Creative Cloud is sweet.
Adobe – How has the team responded to working in the Cloud?
Abe – The experience has been huge for the design team. It is especially great for employees who work remotely, or split their time between our office and their home office, because they have the same access no matter where they are. They love that they can more easily share files.
We've also been able to apply it to initiatives we're doing here. We're establishing more of a collaborative, agency-style workflow. The Cloud is awesome because the team can review and approve projects and send them right back—it saves a lot of time.
Adobe – How did your team previously handle approvals?
Abe – It was a bit of an outdated process. We'd send an email with an attachment, which could be very large. Or we'd Skype and share screens. If we put the file on an in-house file server, it could be slow to access, especially when you have to wait to upload a 50 megabyte file and then have to download it on the other end.
With Creative Cloud, this process is eliminated. We can view files in the browser, add notes, and shoot them back to the folder. I think it cuts half an hour to an hour out of review and approval for each project.
Adobe – You've been handling administration personally. What has that experience been like?
Abe – It's really been pretty easy. I simply enter the email address of the person I need to add into Team Management. The employee gets an email and sign's up. I can also reassign seats easily. I have done that quite a bit. We have contractors that we bring in and I just add them to the team, and reassign the seats when they're done. We don't have to buy new software, so it's a huge benefit from a financial standpoint.
Adobe – What was it like in the past when it came time to upgrade?
Abe – I went through the upgrade to Photoshop, Illustrator, and Dreamweaver CS5. We had to get approval of $30,000 for the whole team, which is a big request. It was a complicated process to get everything approved and to justify the upgrade to management. Then we had to go through installation. Now, I can pay the monthly fee and I don't have to wait for access codes or someone to install it. We just manage everything through the browser.
Plus, it makes sense financially. I pitched using Creative Cloud to my management and explained how easy and cost-effective it would be to leverage new technology. It's great to be able to offer a solution that leads to efficiency and cost-savings.
Adobe – Besides the design team members, who else benefits from FindLaw's Adobe Creative Cloud for teams membership?
Abe – We have our design team of approximately 30 employees plus our support and maintenance teams, which is nearly 40 licenses. We've also have a development team of 17 employees that have Adobe Photoshop licenses for the Cloud. All they need is Photoshop, but I encouraged them to use Creative Cloud.
Adobe – What are your favorite tools in Adobe Creative Cloud?
Abe – I love Adobe InDesign. I have since my first job. Right now, I'm just digging in to Adobe Edge Tools & Services. I'm particularly interested in Edge Reflow for responsive design work. I've also put a site together in Adobe Muse. I'm looking at all of those solutions right now. I'm always on the lookout for better tools.

5 Things You Need To Know About Vitamins For Puppies
Adding a cute little puppy to home can be a very fun and enjoyable time. It can also cause some stress when you are worried if the puppy will be friends with your child, or if the puppy gets enough proper nutrition to be healthy.
One question that may arise is the need for vitamins. It is often a great thing for us to consume vitamins, so why the same does not apply to our beloved children?
Continue reading to learn more!
Vitamins for Puppies: Required Information
1. Puppy Food Rich in Vitamins
When choosing a brand for your new puppy, be sure to look for something specifically made for the puppy. The food is balanced and full of good nutrition to keep puppies healthy and grow strong.
In most cases, this type of food is the food you need for your puppy. Even as adult dogs, their food intake is generally very much in need!
Be sure to buy a good brand that talks about food so you know exactly what type of nutrition you give your puppy.
2. Too Much Not Good
Sometimes it can feel like the more vitamins you give your pet, the better. Maybe it's very giving your kids vegetables, the more festive, is not it?
That does not happen to dogs. Too high intake of most vitamins will actually cause harm to your puppy.
For example, too much calcium can cause skeletal problems, especially in large dogs. So make sure only give them the required dose!
3. Research All Supplements
If you want to give the puppies an extra dose of a particular type of vitamin, do some proper research before doing so. While you may be preoccupied with all your childcare responsibilities, take time to learn all the different vitamins and how the deficiencies and shortages of your intake can affect your puppy.
You can check out the multivitamin dog review to give you a good idea of the different types available. Remember to do some research before you decide to feed the dog.
4. Regular Exercise is another Great Supplement
Good and regular exercise alongside a balanced diet is just as beneficial as your puppy as a vitamin.
Try to include exercise for your puppy every day to make sure she grows strong and healthy. Going for frequent walks with children and protégés, or perhaps having fun in off-leash areas is a good example to achieve this.
Plus it can be a great way for you and your family to exercise extra too!
5. When in Doubt, Ask a Veterinarian
If you are not at all sure what to give to your puppy or how many doses, ask your local veterinarian. They will be able to guide you through all the things you need to know. They may have a list of suggestions for you so you can relax knowing that your puppy is getting the best care that is worth doing.
Better to be safe than sorry, so do not feel bad asking for help from the vet!

Welcome to MadModder!
That's going to give you masses of storage space Steve. There's a severe danger you may actually be able to find things
And if there was a similar bench carcass in your "summer" workshop when spring comes you could just migrate the filled drawers rather than tool-by-tool Dave
Thanks kindly, boys! Just some plain carpentry -- I think anybody can do it. Boatbuilding was different. Everything is curves in 3 dimensions, and fitting is hand work with chisels, and short planes. Boatbuilder's use bandsaws, joiners use table saws. I'm not a very experienced carpenter (straight line man), even though I spent years building boats. Actually, the biggest thing that helped me learn to use a table saw was taking wood shop in 7th grade -- they don't teach that in schools anymore. Used to be you'd make a chessboard, and turn a cherry salad bowl. Now that's all too dangerous for kids.Anyway, so far, fingers crossed on this bench! We'll see if I manage to make all those drawers without cutting 12 pieces short or putting rabbets on the wrong side of them.....
