Chapter 6: Jax
Moves List
|Energy Wave
|Dash Punch
|Ground Pound (Close)
|Ground Pound (Medium)
|Ground Pound (Far)
|Gotcha Grab
|Air Gotcha Grab
|Overhead Smash
|Back Breaker
Fight 22: Baraka
Baraka is still a wuss. He's awfully aggressive this time around, but he's not much of a threat if you keep the pressure on him. He's combo-happy, and if he starts one, then you'll take some serious damage. At a distance, use Energy Wave. Otherwise, use jump-ins with punches and uppercuts. Jax doesn't have any simple combos, but it shouldn't matter: just one or two of his punches, or even an uppercut, will inflict better damage than the same move from other fighters. Punch away, and Baraka will go down without much effort.
Fight 23: Johnny Cage
There is something about Mr. Cage that makes me enjoy beating him senseless, and with Jax, it's a pretty simple endeavor. Johnny is way more aggressive this time around and will try to combo you with jump-ins, but he's pretty smart and won't let you combo him in return. The Gotcha Grab is useful, while Dash Punches and Energy Waves are essential if he stays at a distance. Still, most of your damage here will come from close-range simple attacks and sweeps.
Fight 24: Jade
Jade is pretty easy. Just use Dash Punches, and try using jump-in combos constantly on her. You don't really have to think much against her; basic attacks and techniques will suffice.
Fight 25: Sheeva
Sheeva is moderately aggressive, and this time around she's a bit more precise with her attacks. Her teleport is annoying, but she only busts it out once or twice per round. Jump-ins are a little dangerous due to her air grab, so try staying on the ground and using Dash Punches and Energy Waves. If you do jump-in, try to cross her up, and after a successful one, stay grounded for another sequence or two before trying again.

NEW DELHI: India and Bangladesh on Saturday resolved to step up anti-terror cooperation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi terming spread of radicalism as a "grave threat", not only to the two countries but to the entire region
After talks with his Bangladesh counterpart Sheikh Hasina, Modi also announced a USD 500 million Line of Credit to support Bangladesh's military procurement
"While our partnership brings prosperity to our people, it also works to protect them from forces of radicalisation and extremism. Their spread poses a grave threat, not just to India and Bangladesh but to the entire region
"We have the greatest admiration for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's firm resolve in dealing with terrorism. Her government's 'zero-tolerance' policy towards terrorism is an inspiration for all of us," said Modi at a joint media event with Hasina
The Prime Minister also said both sides agreed that peace, security and development for people of the two countries and for the region will remain central engagement between the two neighbours
"Today, we have also taken a long overdue step by signing an agreement on close cooperation between our armed forces. I am also happy to announce a Line of Credit of 500 million US dollars to support Bangladesh's defence related procurement
In implementing this line of credit, we will be guided by Bangladesh's needs and priorities," he said
On her part, Hasina said her government will take all necessary steps to ensure peace and security along the Indo- Bangla border and asserted that there will be zero-tolerance against terror
Her comments came amid a spate of attacks on the Hindu community in Bangladesh.

Profiled c8 - widely used modernmaterial, production of which is rolled galvanized steel sheets. This is analogous to well-known iron roofs, but today is used in its manufacture good-quality steel, which has excellent performance. But what has significant advantages profile and how it is installed, you will learn by reading the publication.
- A few words about the application of a professional flooring and production process
- The list of advantages of modern roofing material
- Secrets installation, the recommendations of experts
A few words about the application of a professional flooring and production process
First, it should be noted that the profiled sheetssuccessfully used not only as a roofing material, but also in other areas: the production of partitions, walls, fences, false ceilings. The particular brand of corrugated defined operating conditions. For example, this article discusses the equilateral sheet profile with a good vividness. In addition, modern manufacturers offer customers and other brands:
- c13 - galvanized sheet steel, used for walls, roofs. This has excellent coverage area, the original design of the shelves;
- C18 - roofing material, the mainfeatures which are ample shelves, reinforced by small ribs. Such corrugated board has the following dimensions: the effective width - 1150 mm, height - 18 mm;
- C18 (wave) - an interesting feature of this material is considered wavy surface, a large radius sgibki.
corrugated board production today is automated, and the lines for the manufacture of materials composed of the following elements:
- decoiler - a specific device, the mainobjective is unreeling steel strip, feeding it into a rolling mill. Unwinder equipped with self-centering system, roll, electric, maintenance loop system;
- mill - equipment used for sequential bending metal to the desired shape;
It is important to know: the mill performance varies eight linear meters per minute.
- guillotines - they are intended for cutting artistic cut at the end;
- a receiving device - the resulting material is placed in the stack.
Production of corrugated board is made simpleaccordance with international standards. In addition, well-known companies use high-precision equipment that ensures dimensional stability.
It is important to know: the sales volume of corrugated c8 substantially exceed the sales of other brands. The reason is that the dimensions of profiled sheet for roofing is the most convenient.
The list of advantages of modern roofing material
Today's manufacturers offer buyerscountless options for lining the roof. For this reason, each person can choose the appropriate material, focusing on the external aesthetics, cost, performance characteristics. With regard to the sheeting, it has good performance and can compete with Ondulin, Metal tiles. To help you understand their essence, is devoted to the basic advantages of corrugated board:
- durability - optimum rigidity, strength,resistance to negative external factors. Because of these properties profiled it operated a long period and is multi-pronged application in construction. It should be emphasized that there is profiled galvanized and polymer. The latter option is more durable because the polymer coating serves not only as an excellent decorative element, but also serves as additional protection;
Worth noting: the polymer and galvanized sheets can withstand strong ultraviolet radiation, extreme temperatures, the pressure of the masses of snow.
- easy transportation, installation - comfortablecorrugated shape, lightweight corrugated board are important indicators by which it is not necessary to involve a large number of workers to mount. As regards transport, the sheets are stacked on a firm level surface, also provides protection from product movement and mechanical impact. In the process of unloading the sheets are transported in an upright position, but always without strong inflection;
- practicality - there are several important nuances: firstly, corrugated roofing convenient size, and secondly, in the production of stainless steel is used, and thirdly, the material does not need to be painted;
- low cost - favorably profiledother materials acceptable price. The cost varies depending on the type of material, the height of the profile, but on the average per square meter of sheeting will give about 200 rubles;
- aesthetic appearance - on the role ofhighly profiled material is not intended, but he still can compete with more expensive materials. Plus, color corrugated board on the market today presented a variety of: green, red, brown.
It is important to know: color corrugated roof can be chosen according to personal wishes. polymer coatings versatile palette, for example, ultramarine, oxide red, ruby red, chrome green.
Special attention should be paid to the technical parameters. Characterize profiled: m2 weight - 4.5 kg, sheet width - 1200 mm, profile height - 8 mm, length - 12 m, thickness - 0.7 mm.
Secrets installation, the recommendations of experts
According to the SNIP roof of corrugated c8, installation of the material is possible only on the buildings, not subjected to heavy snow, wind loads. But he only plank on a continuous sheathing.
It is important to know: trapezoidal sheet roofing sizes is the most economical in the use of the usable area of the material.
A few words must be said about the arrangement of crates, because it is an important step. Thus, for such work should follow a few rules:
- batten frame is attached to the rafters;
- bars must be sized 50 × 50 mm;
- near the flue, ventilated pipe settling additional crate;
- furring strip on which are located along the eaves must be thicker than the core.
During installation of corrugated board, the intricacies of the process you need to know. In particular, there are such points in mind:
- Prices rise to the top one - for example, a good option is considered to be lifting sheets using the log, installed on the roof to the ends of the earth;
- attached to the base profile in a snug fit places, that is, between the waves;
- by screws screwed into the edges of the roof at each interval. Compliance with this regulation is very important because it affects the reliability of the fixing of the coating;
- to maximize the adjacent sheets abut each other in abutting waves fastening points are shifted by 5 mm;
- to connect the outer shelves are used combined rivets;
- profiled sheets must be fastened with special screws having a sealing washer;
- it is best to use corrugated board on roofs with a slope equaling twenty degrees;
- lathing step depends directly on the slope of the roof;
- when cutting the profile used Reciprocating saws, shears grooved, wheels with carbide teeth. For cutting the sheet along can be used on metal scissors;
- during installation you need to remember about safety;
It is important to know: high-speed abrasive tools categorically can not be used, because in the process of cutting is a strong heat. It leads to the destruction of the polymer layer, damage to the zinc coating.
- installation work should be carried out in soft shoes;
- after the completion of laying the roof is cleared of debris, chips and small scratches on the surface of the sheet necessarily podkrashivayutsya.
It is important to know: profiled roof has different sizes, but the most ergonomic performance has sheet with 9-10 waves.
Special attention should be paid to the arrangementroofing pie under the decking. This design includes a primary coating insulating layer, the isolation membrane. Properly assembled roofing pie eliminates heat loss, condensation, frost, and increases insulating properties.
Observance of the above rules allowto build a strong, secure roof, which will be long enough. Decking - good roofing material, so it is popular!

It's seen me go from a bird with a dream to a fully published author. Who would have thunk it ah?
The year has been great, and I'm very thankful to have the opportunity to do what I love, even if it does drive me insane sometimes! (seriously writers block I loath you!)
I'm even more thankful to my readers who continually help make my dream come true. Without you I wouldn't get the chance to do what I do.
You may have heard me mention my crit team, UCW, a few times and I think it goes without saying, as a whole, we've had a great year. To end the year on a high we will be doing a free short story each, on The Nuthouse Scribblers blog, from December 10th. We've even created a proper invite and everything! (yes, I know I geek out over the smallest thing)
Each day a different author will post their short story, you never know what you might get. There are paranormal, historical, BDSM, multicultural and more besides. So story by and see what treat there is.
And just cause i want to put a smile on your faces.... this is my last weekend, visiting the Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland.....you could say it was a bit wet and windy.....it was actually raining buckets and blowing a gail....but hay what else did you expect when I visit somewhere!
I lost the feeling in my hands it was sooo cold.....*sniff cough cough*
Before I go I just want to say a big old thank you to all my friends and family for supporting me and for putting up with me "vanishing" into my own mind when I'm thinking on a story. I know I know, sorry for being rude!!
Remember: Nothing says "spank me" than writing "subbie" in lipstick on your Dom/me's bottom when they are sleeping.....

Чистка - out with the Old, in with the New!
Start of a new year, with months to come till the trout season opens again - what a perfect time for a little reflection and quiet contemplation. And some blood letting in fly boxes!
This sorry lot no longer meets my quality standards and deserves no mercy. In the name of progress, these flies must be purged immediately - lest they infect others with their inferiority!
Iosif Vissarionovich would be proud of me :)

I need help finding a specific move...
...or exercise or technique, whatever you want to call it:), that helps in improving posture. If it's not "exercise", that's fine too, but I would like to improve my posture to appear taller (5'2" just sin't cutting it :p )
This may not be exactly what you're looking for, but i've been doing yoga and pilates for months now and have noticed a change in my posture, and generally the way i carry myself. Alot of the focus in both exercises is making sure the shoulder are held down away from the ears and that the back is straight. Do either enough and it just becomes second nature. Something else that might help is incorporating back exercises (like lat pull downs or rows) into your strength training routine, assuming you have one. Stronger back muscles should help improve posture. Hope i've helped some.
If you have the time and the inclination, there are adult ballet classes most places, and ballet could be a fun way to lengthen your body.
When I reached my full adult height I was 5'9". When I got measured for the first time in many years in my mid-30s, I was 5'8"! I had them measure again, making sure I was standing as tall as I could. Yup, 5'8". Same result when I got measured again at the age of 41. Soon thereafter I started taking yoga, just once a week, and also incorporating some of those moves in my post-workout stretches. When I was measured again a year later, I was 5'9" again. *whew*
Yoga will DEFINITELY improve your posture and carriage, but it can also lengthen your spine. No dramatic differences, mind you, just keeps you from getting more compacted than you should be. It lets you reach your true full height, in a way.
Another thing you can do to help with posture and carriage is make sure you are doing lots of good upper back / shoulder / chest exercises in weight training. This will help reduce slumping and give you the appearance of a smaller waist, to boot.
And don't underrate the importance of just "checking in" with yourself during the day and being sure you're standing/sitting with good posture. Much of it is habit. For instance watch the people in the grocery store - many of them are leaning on the basket often with their whole forearms. So bad for your posture. I consciously make myself stand up straight and push the basket with my hands - as it should be. :)
Sitting on a fitness ball helped me with my posture. Just sitting on it forces me to have better posture and helps to strengthen my erector and core muscles. I sit on it when I am on the computer at home or watching tv. Just make sure that it is blown up enough so that your butt and your knees are in alignment. If your butt drops below your knees then you will slump. Just an idea that worked for me ;)

Hugo Gernsback, the seminal sci-fi writer and editor, was a stickler for science as a key distinguishing trait of science fiction. He set the tone in the first issue (1926) of his magazine, Amazing Stories, when he introduced Jules Verne's short story Off On a Comet with the stern warning: "[some of Verne's methods] belong in the realm of fairyland".
Flash forward to 2000, when the prestigious award named for Hugo was given to - Harry Potter.
How did it come to this?
The inflation of science fiction into fantasy is not just a recent phenomenon. Jules Verne famously complained about H.G. Wells' liberal fudging of scientific facts in his day. To Verne, invaders from Mars (known to be a lifeless planet, after all) was bad enough - but time travel? Verne, like Gernsback after him, worried that the 'science' of sci-fi would get left on the curb with the trash, leaving the literary genre he was pioneering to be overrun by fantasy and disrepute.
As Verne saw it science meant discipline and hard work, whereas Wells was taking shortcuts. Wells saw it differently - he claimed to be merely using science fiction to make a sociopolitical point. Still, Verne felt Wells was trading off Verne's hard-won street cred, and he resented it. It's also been pointed out that no one came away with a 'social message' from, for example, Wells' 'War of the Worlds', whose main appeal was in the horror and spectacle of the world's destruction. Now, there's nothing wrong with a story that is spectacle for its own sake - most folks like a 'Transformers'-type flick now and then. But Wells' egoistic refusal to admit that 'War of the Worlds' was little more than sensationalism really grated on Verne's last good nerve.
Though the inflation of fiction is not new, what is a modern phenomenon is the astonishing size of today's entertainment industry. The media conglomerates' relentless need for income has created an intense pressure to capture and hold the public's attention by any means possible.
This marketplace pressure exacerbates the very corruption of pop-lit products that Verne and Gernsback feared. In some cases, it has rendered once-popular (lucrative) products unsalable. Since the loss of profitable franchises is devastating to big media, a remedy was much sought-after.
Enter the 'reboot'
This is how the recent conceit of the 'reboot' was born. When Sean Connery could no longer smirk his way through increasingly-campy Bond romps, and when bat-skates and bat-credit-cards killed off the Dark Knight in ways that the Joker never could, Casino Royale and Batman Begins were launched to strip those characters back to the source of their original appeal.
Star Wars was both a sort of reboot and a source of sci-fi inflation. Lucas wanted to recapture the excitement of the old Flash Gordon / Buck Rogers movie serials while upgrading the form. In that way, the film was a reboot. But he also perpetuated the sci-fi genre corruption that had been kicked off largely by Star Trek. As appalled as Verne was by Wells' Martians, his worst nightmares could not have foreseen the absurd rules of engagement modern mainstream sci-fi has set up for itself.
So widespread and pervasive is the inflation of the 'possible' that TV shows hosted by so-called 'futurists' have sprung up to contrive preposterous explanations of how warp drives, teleportation, countless forms of extraterrestrial life and other sci-fi plot devices actually have roots in 'real' science and may be closer than we think.
But as appalled as Gernsback and Verne might have been by this state of affairs, they soon would have found a solution that neither man could have anticipated.
An infinity of worlds
After decades of immersion in a culture where sci-fi has become nearly indistinguishable from fantasy, the public has proven itself capable of accepting each creator's world on its own terms (so long as those terms are, themselves, consistent). Verne's fear that one man's work could irreparably damage his nascent literary form was born of a much smaller and more fragile cultural world, and has proven invalid.
If Verne were alive today, he would have discovered that a creator's world exists independently of all the other realities clamoring for public acceptance. What matters is that each world have authenticity and integrity. For instance, interest in a story of man's first alien encounter is possible even though many have already explored that territory. A 'first-encounter' story like Contact can co-exist with Close Encounters and even the absurdly inflated hordes of aliens emerging from every other corner of the sci-fi galaxy. Any idea can be explored, and whatever audience and success lie in store for it will naturally ensue.
But a good sci-fi writer should not compete with the mainstream, which is shot-through with the inflation of ideas (and the attendant dilution of their importance). The best thing to do with mainstream sci-fi, which is largely a self-parody anyway, is to parody it, as Galaxy Quest and The Hitchhiker's Guide did so brilliantly. Otherwise, swimming in the mainstream sci-fi pool is a trip to nowhere.
What I did with Patriots was to define the message I wanted to convey, and from there create a world that could frame and support that message. A well-known example of this approach is Minority Report, in which creator Spielberg had a story he wanted to tell (based on Philip K. Dick's short story of the same name), and proceeded to define a world inside which that story might occur.
Spielberg vs. Sci-fi inflation
Minority Report returns us to the issue of sci-fi inflation. Spielberg hired a team of 'futurists' and other consultants to guide him in presenting a more plausible, 'realistic' future world than is common among sci-fi films. Before the film's release, Spielberg told Roger Ebert, "I wanted all the toys to come true someday."
The cops in MR, for example, don't rely on guns to apprehend suspects, but instead use 'sick sticks' and other tools. This has a certain intrinsic logic, since cops have experienced an increasing degree of pushback from the public and elected officials over their use of guns. It makes sense that, as potent and reliable alternatives become available, they will be embraced by law enforcement.
Patriots' four basic assumptions
That's the approach I took in creating the Patriots' world, which is built around four basic assumptions about the future:
1) There will be more people. By the time the story takes place, more than twice as many. This will result in greater challenges for individual survival, which will be met in many ways. (Two of the ways Patriots focuses on are genetic 'upscale' manipulation and a widespread retreat into increasingly-potent drugs.)
2) There will be an increased pressure on available resources. This will result in greater materials costs, but also in an acceleration of the extant trend of making materials do more.
3) Those holding power will be as reluctant to lose it as England's King George was in the face of Colonial rebellion. This means there will be a tremendous resistance to handing the Martians any local autonomy or authority.
4) Our reliance on information technology will only increase, as will our reliance on faster wireless communications and connectivity. At some point that 'reliance' will cross the line into 'dependence' - if it has not already. (More on this in 'The Inevitability of A.I.')
Sci-fi pet peeves
Most of the inventions and conventions in this book arise from those four assumptions. But like Spielberg, there are mainstream sci-fi cliches that irk me, and I wanted to actively exorcise them from the Patriots' world:
• Ray guns: Ray guns, phasers, blasters - whatever you want to call them - are the bane of the crowd-pleasing sci-fi writer. Cliched and impractical as they are, ray guns seem futuristic, and the public has come to expect them. So it's no surprise they remain omnipresent in sci-fi. I could easily spend a thousand words on all the problems of handheld ray guns, but I'll just mention three: (1) They probably ought to (but don't) melt the barrel of the gun firing them, (2) their power source is a mystery (how come a phaser the size of my cell phone lasts longer than my cell phone?), and (3) they rarely seem to inflict the sort of damage one would expect from such presumably superior weapons (why did NONE of the blaster fire aimed at Luke and the Star Wars gang either hit its target or tear a hole in a ship's hull?).
That said, Patriots does have a ray gun. But it's the exception to the rule - a ray gun done, in my opinion, right. It has the right raison d'etre and the right mechanism.
In any case, what makes more sense than ray guns are weapons with more sophisticated propellants and payloads (bullets) specialized for their intended purpose. At the very least, future guns will have better targeting mechanisms. Whether one is firing a laser beam or a BB, the point after all is to hit the target and have an effect. (George Lucas must have missed that memo.)
• Asimov's Three Laws: This overworked and misapplied meme is examined in detail in The Inevitability of A.I.
• Terraforming Mars: We will run out of room on Earth, and Mars is likely to get terraformed - eventually. But proponents who claim it's Job One once man reaches Mars seriously need to get a grip.
First of all: If space (living space, that is) is the issue, it makes a great deal more sense to make more of Earth habitable than to live on Mars. Antarctica, for example, is no colder than Mars and a great deal more practical to build on. It's easier to get to, it's closer to the joys of our mother planet, and there are few or no cosmic radiation, atmospheric or gravitational hazards to contend with.
There will be more humans on Earth for sure, but what they'll need from Mars are things like rare earth metals - not land for a condo. Once a reliable transportation system is in place, there will be a viable business model for the exploitation of Martian resources, but there is no foreseeable sound business reason for terraforming the Red Planet.
The Outliers residing on Mars in 'Patriots' aren't there because they had noplace to live. They're on Mars because they needed a spiritual frontier. If you asked the average Outlier about Martian terraforming, they'd be against it. It would only bring more people, and people bring with them their baggage of rules and regulations and corporate-speak, and that is all part of what they are trying to escape.
• The problems we have today are the problems we'll have tomorrow, only more so: Sci-fi often seizes on some tendency we have today and extends it out into the future. If we're overcrowded today, we'll be way overcrowded tomorrow. If we depend too much on our minds today (not that there's much actual evidence of this), we will be giant brains with tiny useless limbs tomorrow. If we have RealDolls today, we will have sex robots tomorrow. And so on.
Patriots does that too, but it definitely picks its spots. Yes, humans will continue to procreate. There will be a lot more of us in the years to come. Yes, we will run out of many strategic materials. The Earth is finite, and humans do demand resources from her. Yes, the ills of human nature are unlikely to change.
But not every trend we see today will become tomorrow's crisis. Yes, we will use more energy, but we will (in ways the book describes - keeping in mind this is a fictional work) resolve that problem and live in an age of energy abundance. (That will go a long way toward supporting 25 billion of us.) We will also find ways to feed ourselves, though it will no doubt cost more than it does today. (There's money to be made in growing food, and there will always be someone deeply interested in making money.)
Likewise, Patriots operates on the theory that methods will be developed to repel radiation and micrometeorites on long space flights. And the Martian domes will provide a radiation-resistant environment through techniques we simply have not yet envisioned. Life on Mars in the Patriots time won't feel as science-fictiony as most portrayals we've encountered. Man wants to live as unencumbered and normal a life as possible wherever he goes, and once we've settled in on Mars we'll find ways to treat life there in as relaxed a manner as is possible in such a place.
The trends we can easily see today and project forward do not, for my purposes, constitute a foundation for a book worth writing. These projections are primarily the setting for the action in Patriots, not the reasons for them. Nor do I care to conjure up green men with an agenda merely for the sake of dramatic fodder.
But lurking just beneath the surface of the human condition, readily found but little-recognized, are the seeds of our true destiny. There are new, unexplored issues lurking, growing, waiting to emerge. That's what interests me, and what moved me to write this book.

Rather than positioning ourselves to be able to offer extensive choice – the 'something for everyone' approach (read 'just happy to achieve a sale – sorry of it's not your property') we take on only a select type of property and are fully committed to selling each and every one.
Our niche is small – old properties brimming with character and style, mostly over €1M,. Our portfolio is exclusive, and the services we offer exceptional.
Our patch is within 50kms of Bergerac – and although we will occasionally travel further for truly exceptional properties, it is this patch in which we are most familiar and passionate, and which actively promote – and selling the area is half the challenge.
With such a narrow focus, we understand these types of property intimately – we know their value, we understand their demand, and we have the skills and experience to sell them. Moreover, we have a strong following of loyal buyers who seek such properties. In short, we represent vendors best chance of securing a good sale swiftly.

The thing about most dire situations is that you don't realize they are dire until you're standing smack in the center of the them. For example, when I left Kennedy Meadows to begin the Sierra segment of the Pacific Crest Trail last year, I was feeling a bit achy, a bit tired, and was having some uncomfortable cramping in my lower abdominal area. Truth be told, I felt like that pretty much all the time since the Mexican border, so no caution alarms were going off. It was 3 days into the 7 day section that I realized I was feverish and pissing blood and really in quite a lot of pain, the unmistakeable symptoms of an advanced bladder infection. At home this is a no biggie. I've had them before. All it means is a phone call for a Cipro prescription, brewing a witchy concoction of juniper berries and cranberry tea, and a marathon stream of Netflix movies until I feel better. In the Sierra, I didn't have Cipro (or Netflix) and I was a healthy 3-day no-bail-out distance from my next town visit. A lot can happen with a bladder infection in 3 days. They develop into dangerous and debilitating kidney infections very very quickly left untreated which had happened to me a couple of miserable times in the past. I don't "untreat" them ever. There I was, just getting past the point on the trail I had to be helicoptered off of the year before from a brain hemorrhage, and there was NO WAY I was going to have to be helicoptered off because of an untreated bladder infection that led to kidney failure. I refused to DIE in those mountains and this time I insisted on coming off of them on foot.
So that was the dire situation for that day.
I love emotions. Emotions connect us to one another, invite intimacy, empathy, giddiness.. Emotions cue us in to moments of great beauty and potential revelations. Emotions have zero places to stand in a dire situation. As a matter of fact, it is emotion that is calling it a "dire situation" in the first place. It's not a "dire situation". It's a "problem". And I learned how to tell the difference by inviting my emotions to play in a different corner of my brain for a minute while I asked myself these questions:
"Am I a dangerous level of hungry?""Am I a dangerous level of dehydrated?"""Am I freezing cold or deliriously overheated?""Am I unable to move?"
If the answer was "no" to all of those questions, then I could safely and exuberantly say that I have a problem to solve, not a dire situation to wallow in. Emotions are then welcome to come back and be briefly acknowledged while the more rational aspects of myself figure out how I'm going to solve this problem I have. And all problems are solvable. They really are. Not always in the preferred Plan A sort of way, but they are solvable. I created a reliable habit of reacting to trail "problems" this way. It IS what made me able to do it. I'm a bit geeky in that I love a good "problem"…math, logic, strategy, whatever..and when I see it that way, tackle it that way, figuring things out makes me happy. If I let my emotions become involved, including free reigning fear or feelings of defeat, I would have accepted every challenge on the trail as evidence of my inferiority, vulnerability, and mental weakness and decide it was time to quit.
Here I am now on the trail of life and facing what my emotions are itching to call a dire situation, basically still standing in a big fat "What NOW??" after many years of traveling with no real concrete plans on exactly how to proceed. When I feel overwhelmed by this, I catch myself knee-jerkedly asking myself, "Am I hungry? Thirsty? Cold or hot? Am I unable to move?" Of course the answer is "no" and I can relax and get scratching at the pleasurable task of crafting a post-trail life for myself. It's just a new problem to solve.
By the way, the bladder infection problem was immediately solved upon the discovery that the person I was walking with just happened to (intelligently) be carrying Cipro. All I had to do was say something.
One Response to "It's A Problem to Solve – Another Enduring Trailism"
"What are you worried about? It's not like you're going to run out of water and die." – Great advice for real-life from a hiker I met once. 🙂

Encourage a Friend
Encourage a friend with their dreams. Maybe someone you know is doubting their goals or that they have talent. Why don't you give them an encouraging card/gift and send them over a positive critique of the talents you recognize in them. You may even want to ask that they autograph some of their work to give you. Having a solid belief in another does help for them to believe in themselves and boost their self-confidence! It truly only takes one positive statement to re-instate faith that they have something wonderful to offer.

Automated administration
Panteos has an advanced administration module with the ability to customize user roles to fit into the administration flow and responsibilities in the organization. The system has a lot of automated procedures, integrated CRM and offers automated reporting to both managers and clients.
"We have to believe that the supplier will have continuous development and of course financial solidity and we found Trifork to be exactly that."- Bent Reidar Andersen, Head of IT-contracts, BRFkredit
This one system can handle all the client portfolios in BRFkredit Bank. One of the things that BRFkredit Bank found in Panteos was a system that was more flexible than similar products and a system with a lot of features to improve productivity and performance in the administration. Trifork provides continuous support to the product as well as ongoing development to further improve the system.
Close teamwork and high involvement
During the implementation of Panteos there was a very close and effective collaboration between BRFkredit Bank, Trifork, and the former system provider. From day one, the Panteos system had to run smoothly and failure was not an option. In the first phase after the implementation there was intense monitoring and support allowing Panteos to be in full production after a few days. After a short time BRFkredit Bank was accustomed to the system, and now all operations are handled smoothly in the internal IT-department.
"This is actually one of the really good projects that is completed within budget, on time and within scope. Trifork has been a reliable provider with a great understanding of the situation that we faced in BRFkredit Bank."- Bent Reidar Andersen, BRFkredit.
A system secured for the future
BRFkredit Bank sees this implementation as a story of success. Panteos allows BRFkredit Bank to provide a better and more effective service to their customers, which secures better businesses for both BRFkredit Bank and their clients. This system has proven to be attractive in many ways, and Jyske Bank, who later bought BRFkredit found the system to be so good that they also adopted Panteos.
Henrik T. Pedersen, Teamleader, BRFkredit Bank elaborates on the advantages of Panteos: "Efficiency. We are more effective. Many things are supported better in Panteos, and the manual processes are limited. On a technical aspect, we have a system secured for the future with
modern functionality."
Panteos has a high compatibility with many platforms and can offer functionalities that are not seen in similar products. The positive feedback to the everyday use of the system and the implementation process has proven to generate a high value for companies using Panteos, which are some of the largest players on the market for administration of mortgage deeds.
Multiple clients
BRFkredit Bank is using the system to administrate mortgage portfolios for several clients. Reporting on different levels is very important in order to satisfy demands from different clients. Different reports are easily setup for each client and distributed on an ongoing basis. With customized user rights, the clients of BRFkredit Bank can access the system themselves and yet, they can only see and do actions that have been defined and approved by BRFkredit Bank. The real-time exchange and maintenance of data is the key factor for both parties.
Trifork offers this product for both large and small companies. For more information or a demo of the system, please contact the Panteos product support at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Hard-Ones Announce 'Alfalfa Males' TourWritten by John Ritchie on May 24, 2010
The Hard-Ons, "three shirtless middle-aged men who still play like they are the only band on the planet" have just announced plans to release their fifteenth studio album, and are celebrating with a tour of the east coast.
From the press release:
Clocking in at just over 40 minutes and 19 songs, Alfalfa males once summer is done conform or die represents a concise and compact look at the legendary and powerful Hard-ons. With an epic and infamous disregard for popular trends and nice haircuts, the three quasi-virtuosos have unleashed their finest album. You may have noticed a disconcerting lack of irony, humour and originality in modern "punk" and "metal". Look no further. The Hard-ons' Alfalfa males once summer is done conform or die will leave footprints on top of your skull, yet leave you smiling!
To sum up, it is fair to say that Alfalfa males once summer is done conform or die is a series of compact musical explosions. It is a fascinatingly brilliant paradox of an album. Loose and tight. Brutal and beautiful. Violent and tender. Virtuosic and naïve…Typical Hard-ons…
Of course, it goes without saying, 'Alfalfa males…' features the visually arresting graphics of bassist Ray Ahn. Psychedelic violence with humour, as per usual!

Thursday 22nd July

@Angrrrry said in I would like to know if the siege is working:
As for making this game easier or adding more iron nodes - this game is pretty balanced to make high lvl armor and buildings valuable. If this game is too hard - try to switch for PvE server or choose PvP with bigger population. You will die much more frequently but you will find more nodes because of bigger map size.
I don't agree with the iron spawn rate, it is way too low. I play on Tranum. I run around for hours looking for few iron nodes, almost never seeing other players gathering.

Our Focus
The Full Work of Jesus Christ
At Berean it is our focus to lead people to a true knowledge of the saving power of Jesus Christ. However, many Christian's are never taught that Christ has not only saved them, but also set them free. Many churches are filled with frustrated people who have never seen the liberty that Jesus Christ is offering to every redeemed soul. We feel this video perfectly illustrates the full work of Jesus Christ from salvation to sanctification.

Note: The scheduled womens soccer game against Centenary
was cancelled.
Senior Christopher King notched two goals for the second straight
The Mules, ranked fourth in the Mid-Atlantic Region, are 3-0 for the first time since 1999 and have a 10-game unbeaten streak dating back to last year.
Fourteen minutes into the game, King took a long pass from senior Jose Ramirez, dribbled into open space at the top of the box, and blasted a shot over Colonel goalie Dominik Proctor and into the net.
Kings second goal came on the third shot of a rapid-fire sequence midway through the second half. Freshman Steve Tenezapf took a hard shot that Proctor saved but could not control. Senior James Henshaw collected the rebound and ripped a shot back at Proctor, and again he deflected it back into the box. The ball bounced to King, and the third time proved to be the charm.
Muhlenberg dominated the second half, outshooting Wilkes (2-1) 13-2 in the second 45 minutes. The Mules have allowed only seven shots on goal in their three wins.

Best Licensed Game
Pages 1 2 NEXT
The reputation of licensed games for low-quality budgetware is well deserved, but occasionally you get a game that goes against the grain and really does something great with the setting. I feel the measure of a truly good licensed game is that it would have a solid fighting/exploration/whatever engine even without the setting. What's the best one you've played?
I'm certain the first response will be Batman Arkham Asylum, so only one of those allowed.
Batman Arkham Asylum (mwhahahahaha)
Oh fuck you lol, the Arkham games were the first that came to mind when I saw the title
Hmm War For Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron are awesome games, that's about it I think, licensed games usually suck
Original Golden eye for the N64.
Take me down to Arkam City, where the night is dark and the style is gritty.
(Sorry, but I had to do this :P)
I'll throw in a vote for Batman: Arkham City as well.
Although Spiderman 2 for the gamecube was also quite fun.
Either The Walking Dead or Arkham City. Depends on preference of gameplay or story, I haven't quite decided which I think is better.
Do Star Wars games count? Because if they do, I think they'd take up the whole top ten. Then again, they'd also take up most of the bottom 10.
Arkham Asylum or Arkham City are easily the best licensed games.
Edit: Forgot about the Star Wars games, a lot of them are pretty good.
Is anybody shocked I said it?
Yeah, moving on, even Redemption was good, I certainly enjoyed it. Then some of the D&D games, like Neverwinter Nights, Icewind Dale and so on. And, of course, some of the Star Wars games - I still occasionally play Star Wars Episode I: Racer for the lolz. One of these days I'll even finally start KOTOR 2...
Ghostbusters 2009
Riddick escape from butcher bay and assault on dark athena are up there.
Not sure if you can count them as licence games but Marvel vs Capcom 3 is still pretty awesome.
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3
That or Ducktales.
Yahtzee would be proud. It has to be Spiderman 2.
Now that you mention it, there are quite a few good games based on Disney IPs.
Dragon ball Z Budokai 3 is one of the best ones out there in my opinion.
Arkham Asylum? Not Arkham City?
Also Spiderman 2.
That's all I can think of right now.
If we're including games that use tabletop licenses then the ratio of good to bad licensed games starts to even out nicely. Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment, Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, etc, are all licensed games.
If they don't count then I'm gonna go for one nobody's mentioned yet: Metro 2033. It's a tad clunky in places, yeah, but it's just so darned compelling.
Damn, ninja'd :p
JEDI POWER BATTLES was the fucking bomb.
Riddick was a fucking great game as well.
I'm going to go obscure here and say Super Robot Wars. The ones that never made it out of Japan. Damn licencing problems. If you love Tactical RPG's and super robot anime that series is great. The ones that did make it out were all original characters so obviously those are not licensed games.
Arkham Asylum, OP? It's more memorable than city in my opinion and is one of the better games out there. City's good too, but more an expansion of Asylum than its own game, if you get what I mean.
Tecmo Bowl.
(You didn't say what license!)
I agree with pretty much all of these as well.
The Lord Of The Rings Games were very good. The James Bond Blood Stone game was decent as well.
It's also the 4th best Star Wars anything.
No mention of KOTOR II yet... Escapist, I am ashamed. Ashamed I tell you! How can you all live with yourselves? D:
But yeah, my vote goes out to KOTOR II, the best licensed game of all time, and the best game of all time, just in general. :P
Besides what people have already said, the Peter Jackson's King Kong game was actually pretty cool. It had a few neat mechanics that made it a solid FPS, and the parts where you play as Kong were alright. Also, I have to throw another vote in for War for/Fall of Cybertron. I love those games to pieces, and I really hope High Moon gets another chance to do something with Transformers, though I'd be interested in anything they do at this point.
EDIT: Forgot to mention 007: Nightfire. I grew up in the Gamecube generation, so this was my Goldeneye, and damn if it didn't do a great job.
Since I've never played the Arkham games, and the Walking Dead isn't console available in New Zealand (bloody Aussie ratings ruining it for the rest of us), the best licensed game I can remember playing would have to be The Bourne Conspiracy.
All the key ones have been mentioned already, but I guess if you want the best game based on a series without actually following an existing story, then Arkham Asylum probably takes it. For games that actually follow the IP's story, it's got to be Goldeneye (the original, because the remakes don't even come close to holding up as well), with Riddick getting a pretty good mention, too.
film licenses
Non film
Star wars: Shadows of the Empire. It had friggin jetpacks!
Star Wars Battlefront 2, I can not begin to count how much of my childhood was spent playing that game by myself and in splitscreen, ah good times.
Dawn of War is definitely up there for best licensed games. It's a very fun RTS, not necessarily good, but definitely fun. Having a free for all with 8 races on Hard or Insane is priceless.

An elderly man has died and two people have been critically injured in a cutlass attack related to the protracted chieftaincy dispute in Bolgatanga, the Upper East regional capital.
The violent clash erupted around 8:00pm Sunday, just 48 hours after the Bolgatanga High Court had annulled a ruling that affirmed Raymond Alafia Abilba at the Upper East Regional House of Chiefs as the Paramount Chief of Bolgatanga. Although the high court verdict does not say Mr. Abilba's rival, Joseph Nyaaba Apakre, is now the next Bolga Naba, those on his side say the decision taken by the court last Friday means only one thing for him- victory at last.
That "victory" was celebrated throughout the capital, beginning from the court premises Friday and continuing until a sudden hail of bullets disrupted the party Sunday night. It is not clear yet what triggered the hours-long gunfire in the capital. Residents panicked as echoes of gunshots clapped in the air from the seat of the traditional council and the commercial core of the capital, Atulbabisi.
Stores and tabletop teashops, which often do not close until the wee hours, parted ways with the streets in a hurry. And so intense was the shelling that police officers were withdrawn from checkpoints to add their numbers to a joint security force already positioned on the ground, fighting hard to bring the situation under control.
The old man reportedly was attacked in his room and his house set ablaze. The attackers did not spare his son and his younger brother who are currently at the emergency ward of the Upper East Regional Hospital. The elderly man, said to be between 60 and 70 years of age, lay motionless on a hospital bed as of the time Starr News visited the hospital around midnight Sunday.
Suspecting the man had passed away, women moaned in one of the busy corridors of the hospital, repeatedly exclaiming "Nsoh!"- a Gurune word for "Father"- referring to the butchered old man. Some men sat in another corner, dabbing their eyes, looking downwards and not saying a word.
"They have removed the drip. We are at the mortuary," a young man, sobbing on the telephone, confirmed the death of the elderly man after Starr News had left the hospital.
Bolga still has no Chief
Soon after his installation at Nanlerigu as the Paramount Chief of Bolgatanga, Mr. Apakre, a media practitioner, filed a petition in May, 2015, at the Upper East Regional House of Chiefs, asking that Mr. Abilba, a lawyer, be restrained from holding himself out as Bolga Naba.
Hearing on the case ran for months at the house of chiefs until its judicial committee dismissed the application in October, 2016. And it was an all-night party at the palace of Mr. Abilba, a son to the former paramount chief, Naba Martin Adongo Abilba III, not just because the verdict, in effect, affirmed him as the new bearer of the centuries-old skin of authority but also because the petitioner was in addition fined Gh¢50,000, for what Mr. Abilba's lawyer, John Ndebugre, described as a "frivolous petition meant to waste everybody's time".
Not satisfied with both a perceived bias and the ruling itself, Mr. Apakre sought redress at the Bolgatanga High Court, presided over by His Lordship Jacob B. Boon, and where the judgement passed by the house of chiefs was squashed and the house of chiefs slapped with a fine of Gh¢15,000, for failing to follow due process on the case. There was a reprisal jubilation in the camp of Mr. Apakre who, also for the first time, sat in the courtroom Friday.
The latest ruling does not mean Naba Abeka Nonge-Buuri Maltinga (as Mr. Apakre is addressed in royal terms) is the Bolgatanga's new paramount chief. It does not say Naba Awogeya-Lebna Raymond Alafia Abilba IV (as Mr. Abilba's skin title is called) is not the successor of the departed paramount chief, either. It means Bolgatanga is back to square one. It has no paramount chief yet. And until the legal advisers to both sides decide what to do next, probably after laying hands on the transcript of Friday's proceedings and verdict at the high court, it may be difficult to predict what is next.
Per the checks conducted by Starr News, the resources needed to sustain the military troops dispatched to maintain the needed peace at Atulbabisi have been an unbearable burden on the taxpayer's cedis at the Bolgatanga Municipal Assembly. The conflict is a serious threat to Atulbabisi, which is the commercial live wire of the entire region. That is where all the banks are- Unibank, Fidelity Bank, GCB, Apex Bank, Agricultural Development Bank, Bank of Africa, National Investment Bank, Barclays Bank, Access Bank, Naara Rural Bank, Stanbic Bank, HFC Bank, GN Bank and the Bayport Financial Services, et cetera. The region's biggest shopping mall, Melcom, is at Atulbabisi.
Insurance companies, including Star Assurance, ELAC, SIC and SSNIT among other financial institutions are pitched in that community. Even the embattled DKM Microfinance Company chose Atulbabisi. The regional post office, the Seat of the Catholic Bishop, offices of commercial airlines are located there. Atulbabisi is a capital on its own inside a capital. A similar chieftaincy struggle in Bawku shut down a branch of the Barclays Bank in that municipality some years ago, with grass spreading unrestrained on the once-busy and beautiful compound today. Worries are beginning to creep into Bolgatanga, with some saying the situation at Atulbabisi gradually might inspire the mega institutions to look elsewhere on the relatively calm outskirts. The concerned public, in the aftershock of the latest clash, is asking two questions. What is happening to intelligence gathering in the region? And how have the 'unknown combatants' been able to sneak in lethal weapons and hoard the kinds of firearms that dazzle civilians with their rumbling sounds and leave the security agencies themselves in raw awe?
Police, Peace Council call for Calm in Bolga
Military and police patrol teams have remained on the ground since the last night's bloody attack. And residents who competed passionately for cover during the heavy firing are tiptoeing back into the streets of the busy capital to buy and sell as usual.
The National Peace Council (NPC) has called for calm. So has the Bolgatanga Municipal Police Command.
"Both parties have to be calm. There should be peace in Bolga. We should not take the law into our own hands. That is why we have got the law courts. If anybody is not happy about any ruling, the structures are there to guide us. Nobody should take the law into their own hands. Let's let peace remain in Bolga," the Upper East Regional Chairman of the NPC and Paramount Chief of Sakote, Naba Sigri Bewong, told Starr News.
The Bolgatanga Municipal Police Commander, Superintendent Samuel Punobyin, confirmed the elderly man died of cutlass wounds. And he urged the disputed chiefs to help bring an end to the turmoil the capital has continued to suffer as result of the conflict between them by appealing to their camps to respect the law.
"They've gone to court; the court has ruled. They should continue to use the court process. I don't see why they are fighting. The people they are going to rule are the same people who are being killed. At the end of the day, who are they going to rule? If the place is volatile, how can they be good chiefs? They should talk to their supporters and followers to exercise restraint," the commander stated.
A number of lives, including those of individuals who had no stake in the dispute, have been lost with several others seriously injured and houses burnt since the chieftaincy conflict between the two sides, who are said to be one big family, resurfaced in 2014 after the departure of the former paramount chief in September, 2013.
Mr. Abilba, who was installed in 2015 as chief by kingmakers within his clan, has the full support of notable sub-chiefs who served his father dutifully. Mr. Apakre looks relaxed in the backing of the Nayiri- the revered Paramount Ruler of the Mamprungu Kingdom, Naa Bohagu Mahami Abdulai Sheriga- who installed him also in 2015 at Nanlerigu and reportedly told him: "Return to home. Don't fear. I have installed you. When I plant a tree, that tree does not die."
