When the original Thief came out, it revolutionised gaming in the future. For the first time, a first-person game really concentrated on the aspects of stealth, concealment, avoiding detection at all costs and most significantly, highlighting the danger of getting caught by making it very risky to fight even a single guard. For those of you who have no experience with any of the Thief games, allow me to give you a heads up of the priciples of the game. In a dark-ages style city (Called, creatively enough, 'The City') Garret, master thief, starts life as a homeless orphan picking pockets to stay alive. He is caught picking the pocket of a man who turns out to be a Keeper. Impressed by Garret's ability to spot him (Keepers pride themselves on staying hidden), the man offers Garret a new life. Though hesitant, he decides to be takin by the Keepers, and is trained in the art of stealth and concealment, staying silent and blending into shadows.
Garret leaves the Keepers eveuntually and becomes a thief, using the skills he learned to become a master. Thus begins the events of Thief 1, the Dark Project. Drawing on the original Dark engine from System Shock 2, Looking Glass Studios pulled out all the stops in making an atmospheric game. Rather than having stealth as a useful tool, stealth became all-important. Being caught by a Guard usually meant a fight which is no easy task to win with only a sword. In addition, there was always the risk of the ruckus attracting attention and having a gang of enemies slashing away at you. To be seen usually meant a lot of trouble, unless you could escape and hide for a length of time. It was also the first game were sound became as vital as sight. You cannot expect to make your way quitely around a mansion at night, avoiding guards and sneaking up on them to knock them out if you can't hear anything.
Guards mutter, mumble, grumble, whistle, talk about stuff with their peers and say stuff depending on what you have done (Hit a metal lantern with your sword and see how that guard around the corner reacts, or let off an explosive mine and expect all heck to let loose). When I first played the demo of Thief: The Dark Project, it was a pulse-pounding experience. You had to always keep an ear out for the footsteps and mutterings of guards, and if one came near, hop it quickly to find some handy shadows to lurk in. Fighting is incredibly difficult, especialy when they attract reinforcements in which case you are almost certainly doomed. This makes the player concentrate on stealth rather than say 'Oh bugger it,' and run out a-slashing when they feel like excitement. Not that they will need it.
The game enhanced the atmosphere no end with journals, books, letters and memos and so on lying about to read, all allowing the player to get a feel for what is happening around them and in the City at large. Though a few contain subtle hints and tips, many simply helped the player absorb what was going on in a very effective way. The game itself contained a great many tools for either killing (Fire arrows, mines), knocking out blackjack, gas arrows), distracting enemies (Noisemaker arrows and flashbombs), staying concealed (water arrows to douse torches, moss arrows to muffle steps over noisy metal/tile floors) or to help Garret reach new areas (Rope arrow and lockpicks).
What is different in Thief: Deadly Shadows?
The primary difference in Thief: DS is that, unlike its two predecessors, it no longer plays in set missions/levels. Garret, rather than being 'dumped into the mission area, or somewhere near it, now wanders the streets freely, able to both mug/ pickpocket the citizens he meets and burgle houses and shops he comes across. Any loot he picks up can be sold off in thief shops or 'fences', each one accepting two of the three kinds of loot on offer: Art, metal and gems. You cannot, say, steal a fabulous painting and have it magically turned into money. You must find an appropriate shop which will deal with it and sell it off. Then, and only then, will this loot turn into tradeable cash. Shops which sell specialised theif equipment, from the ever-so-familiar moss, water, fire and gas arrows to completely new stuff like oil (Causes people to slip up and can be set alight) and the useful wall-climbing gloves, giving a useful way of escaping or reaching new areas. However, you do not buy equipment prior a mission; you must buy it from a shop (one in each district) and then enter the mission by walking to the site. If you have to use up some of that precious equipment on your way there, like throwing off some City Watch men, then so be it. Also, a new and pretty cool, if somewhat superfluous feature is the third-person mode, which allows the player to see Garret in all his pixel-shaded, full 3D rendered glory. Complete with glow-in-the-dark mechanical eye.
Although many may find it a plus point, my personal opinion is that the increased freedom has made parts of the game into tedious travelling across town, trying to find a fence to buy your stuff (You can't sell all kinds of loot at any one fence) and then looking for a shop with the stuff you are looking for (Not all shops sell the same stuff). Before, in the likes of Thief 2: Metal Age, you had a huge level to explore, obviously keeping hidden from the guards and locals, and generally many different paths to take through a level. In most Thief 3 levels, their is a fairly linear path to take, or else a number of paths, but you are channled into one due to enemies or such like. Also, each level tended to have a '' something to give it extra flavour, or set it apart from others. A good example would be the last level of Thief 2, Sabotage at Soulforge, where you had to actually manufacture certain devices to create an object to complete an objective. I have never seen that level of interactivity in any game before. And the Down the Bonehoard level in Thief 1 had many fiendish traps and very, very creative puzzles (for a game that old) that made it one of the most memorable levels I have ever played. Now, Thief 3 levels tend to be quite bland, concentrating on the main task of staying hidden, knocking out the bad guys and giving not-so-subtle hints about 'special loot' items on each level. The inclusion of 'special loot' takes it away from the down-to-earth stealth-em-up it once was, and introduces a (Dare I say it?) Zelda-like way of having bonuses and special items. Another point worth mentioning is that each mission is no longer one, gigantic level free for exploration.
Now, each individual level and the City itself is seperated into zones (districts for the City). Each zone can be explored freely, but to properly explore a mission, you must eventually enter another zone of that mission, punctuating the missions with annoying load times between parts of the levels. Thief 3 tried to include a 'faction' system which includes trying to curry favour with the two main factions- the devoutly religious but zealously cruel Hammerites who worship the Master Builder and the symbols of masonry, construction and smithing, and abhor all things nature and natural. The other side being the ultra-secretive and elusive Pagans, worshippers of the nature-god the Trickster and of all things green and 'woodsy'. Obviously these two do not get on and at first, they will attack you on sight.
By doing certain things (Killing rust mites and Undead creatures for Hammerites, shooting moss arrows at certain cornerstones and shooting altars with elemental arrows for Pagans)> By currying favour, they will stop attacking you on sight and will even jup to your defense if you get in bother with the Watch or are attacked in the streets. Besides this, there is nothing really interesting to do once allied with them, and doing favours for them becomes, at best, a chore to lesson your troubles later, when they come out and patrol the streets. Again, almost like the Gold Skulltula challenge of Zelda, this is no more than an irritating side-quest with no real reason to perform. I was hoping some entire missions would come about by performing these tasks, perhaps getting a non-story critical mission to bolster the cash reserves. As it is, there are none.
What is good about Thief?
After reading all that, you may get a bit discouraged. No, says I, Thief 3 is a decent game. The graphics are almost unparalleled. Besides Doom 3, I could honestly say Thief 3 has the best graphics I have ever seen. Lighting effects blow you away. An enemy holding a torch (A new thing for the thief series) casts a flickering glow. Opening and closing doors on light sources now shuts them out realistically, rather than having a cone of light shining through a closed door. Facial expressions are fantastic as well, with eyelid movements and mouthing of words being superbly accurate.
The physics are much better too, when picking up and dropping bodies, they fall about realistically, and pile up on each other with arms dangling. They also slide down stairs (Helped along with oil, which is VERY funny). Make no mistake: Thief 3 is very atmospheric and the levels can be VERY scary. I will never forget when the statues come to life in the statue gallery, and muttering 'Must find, and kill and kill and find...' with heavy stone footsteps. Zombies make a return, being as frightening as ever, only this time they can run. Green gas pours out of the sides of the passages in the zombie-infested ghost ship, with chains hanging down and atmospheric 'music' playing softly in the background. And of course, who could forget the Shalebridge Cradle? This is quite simply one of the scariest levels I have ever played in my entire life, and I played it as a sixteen year old. The start of the mission has you looking up at the huge, manor-like cradle, and the first thing the came into my mind was 'The Haunting'. I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't played this level yet, but be advised: It is NOT a level for the young. Even I lost sleep over this level.
Is Thief offensive to Christians?


After all these years, you finally decided that you had enough with the PC world and bought yourself a Mac. Switching from Windows to Mac is really an experience, so everyone should give it at least one try. At first, things are a little confusing but once you get yourself familiarized with the basics, using a Mac or Macbook is actually a lot of fun! So for all you Apple newbies as well as some of the old-timers, we compiled a list of 10 Things Every Mac Owner Should Know.
There are three types of accounts that can be set up on your Mac or Macbook. The first is the standard account which allows access only to your own files and allows you to change some system preferences.
The second type of account is known as Managed account. This account is really handy if you share your Mac with other folks or want to install parental controls before you let your kids use your Mac.
The third type of account and the one that is used most is the Administrator account. The first account that you create when you set up a new Macbook or Mac is the administrator account. This account allows you access to all files and settings on your Mac.
Here you can change account settings, create new accounts and assign parental controls to accounts among other things.
Sometimes your Mac can experience hiccups due to corrupt user accounts. If your Mac is acting strange or slow, it may be a good idea to dig a little deeper and check out the accounts.
Finder is one of the most commonly used App on a Macbook. Think of it as your Windows Explorer, but more powerful!
Usually, the Finder doesn't show you every file on your Mac. This viewing limitation is intentionally designed to keep some system files safe and out of the way. There are however times when you need to access a hidden file or library on your Macbook.
In times like this, to display hidden files on your Mac, simply open a session on your terminal and type defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES and press enter. Close your Finder and re-open it and you should be abe to locate the hidden files. To change back to default, use the same command in terminal and replace the YES at the end with a NO.
Macs allow you to customize the apps that automatically launch when you login into your machine.
You can customize your Mac to launch your most used applications on launch. To do so, click on  > System Preferences > Users and Groups and click on the account on the left panel.
Now you can use the "+" button to add in the apps that you want to launch at login or remove apps by using the "-" button here.
If your Mac takes a long time to start up, make sure to check here and choose only the applications that you really want use at start up. The smaller the list here, the faster your Mac responds. This reduction of start-up items is especially true if you have an older Mac.
With New App added every day, there is always a chance that you prefer a certain type of application program over the other when it comes to reviewing documents, PDF, etc. on your Mac.
You can easily set the default app for files. Just right click a file > Click on Get Info. Next, scroll down and choose Open With. Click on Change All..and select the program that you want to use to open these types of files.
Once you set it up here, it will remember your preferences and use the app that you set up to open the files.
This is very handy especially when you have multiple apps that can open the same type of file on your Mac.
Mac Users love their keyboard shortcuts. For example, Pressing Command + Shift + Delete keys will empty trash on your Macbook. If you are new to a Mac, you will get the hang of it soon.
Apart from the default keyboard shortcuts that come on your Mac, you can also set up your keyboard shortcuts. If you are tired of clicking multiple levels to a command, you use all the time, its best to set up a keyboard shortcut.
You will need to set up a shortcut key. The first thing to do is to find out the exact name of the menu item in the app that you want to assign the shortcut for.
Here select your App from the application list. In the menu title field, enter the exact name of your menu item, then click on the keyboard shortcut box and assign a key combination.
Once you are done, quit System Preferences and relaunch the app and your shortcut will work as per your preference.
Macs make it easy to customize your keyboard and Mouse settings. There is no reason that you will need to live with the default settings that came with your Macbook.
Click on  > System Preferences > Keyboard and check out all the available options. If you are using a Bluetooth keyboard with your Mac, you check out the settings here for your Bluetooth keyboard.
Similarly, click on  > System Preferences > Mouse to set up your double clicking speeds, scrolling, etc.
Setting up multiple partitions can be really handy on a Mac, especially if you are trying to run Windows on you Mac with Bootcamp or other software.
Unlike Windows-based PCs, the built-in Disk Utility on OSX makes things easier on your Mac. This is one program you should get familiar with.
Disk Utility makes partitioning very easy.
Open Disk Utility from your Utility applications. Click on your drive and then on the partition tab. You can choose to set the number of partitions you want under the Volume Scheme and enter a name and size for each.
Next, select the format Mac OS Extended for Mac partitions and FAT/MS-DOS for Windows. Click Apply.
Always partition your drive when it is empty, or you are just setting up a new Mac.
Force Quitting an App on your Mac is done in various ways. Press the command+option+esc, select the app from the list of apps and click force quit on the one that you are trying to shut down.
Open your Activity Monitor, locate the app and click on Quit Process and confirm.
If the spinning wheel from the app still gives you anguish, you can open up your terminal and type in killall appname OR kill PID, where PID is the process ID that you can look up for the app in your activity monitor.
If your Mac gets frozen for some reason and your mouse becomes unresponsive ( rarely happens), you can press and hold your Mac's power button for five to 10 seconds depending upon your energy saver preferences, and this shuts off your Mac. Press the Button again to restart.
If you were used to Cortana on the other side of the fence, fear not, the new Macs running macOS Sierra now support Apple's Siri. You use Siri pretty much for doing all your search functions and setting up reminders etc.
This functionality is new but cool. It does require that your Mac or MacBook is running macOS Sierra.
Click below to find out how to set up Siri on your Mac.
There are many different products out there that can help with malware prevention on your Mac. We suggest that you look at your basic security settings and make sure they are up to par.
One of these settings is your Gatekeeper setting on your Mac.
Keeping your Mac updated to the latest OS X versions is advised as Apple continually releases security patches when they announce new OS X/macOS releases.


Earlier today, NYPD News tweeted that he was on the most wanted list and twitter went crazy about the story as a result. Call us crazy but based on this statement, we get the feeling that we won't see Mr. Budden on Twitter discussing this any further.
But when it's all over we're willing to bet there will be at least one song about it!
As we've said before, let us remember there are two sides to every story and we still say there is a lot more to this story that we have yet to hear.
Technically, Joe still hasn't told his side of things, so we look forward to seeing what he has to say about the night in question sometime soon.

Vikings Season 6 Episode 20 Review: The Last Act
written by admin January 3, 2021
Even though viewers have much more investment in the exploits of the sons of Ragnar, the situation in Kattegat bears examination and a bit of praise. With Harald, Ivar, and Erik now dead, Queen Ingrid's rise to power is now complete, and if the cries of "Long live the queen" are a true indicator of the people's feelings towards their new leader, we can only speculate what changes lie ahead in Kattegat. We have no doubt that Gunnhild would have successfully led the village into the future, but the question we're left with is whether the witch Ingrid not only deserves to wear the crown but possesses the wherewithal to carry out the duties the people deserve. Will she rule through fear or love? Have her experiences and those of her freed slave partner given them the insight and compassion to rule for the good of the people? I guess we'll never know.
We don't really need to go to the history books to know how the battle in Wessex is going to turn out, but this chapter of the Vikings saga is as much about the growth of King Alfred as it is about Ivar the Boneless and his brother Hvitserk. When Ivar requests a parley with Alfred and admits "we are still fighting like our fathers did," there's a brief moment when we think this might turn out differently than expected. Interestingly, before giving his answer to Ivar, Alfred looks to Elsewith as if he's not certain how to respond. She's made plain her feelings about her husband's apparent weaknesses, and whether her steely stare buoys his spirits or not, his refusal reminds us that this is the man who eventually carries the label "the Great" along with his name.
A good portion of the episode is devoted to the battle with Alfred's Saxon army, and while there's nothing new here, Hirst, once again, delivers a solid action sequence that makes judicious use of slow motion and quick flashbacks that provide a call back to pivotal moments in the characters' lives. However, it's the moments of doubt both Alfred and Ivar struggle with that stand out as they question whether their god is truly with them in this life and death encounter. Ivar remembers the pain of Hvitserk's desertion to Ubbe only to have his older brother jump ship at the last moment to stay with him in Kattegat. Though he fears the All Father has abandoned him here, we see he still holds out hope that the tide of the battle will change with Divine intervention.
The Lothbrok brothers have enjoyed a tenuous relationship, but as both sense death just around the corner, we're given a moving exchange when Ivar tells Hvitserk to leave the battle and save himself. This simple gesture is likely the catalyst that propels Hvitserk onto his new path, but it also appears to give Ivar the strength to make his last stand. As he cries out "I will live forever," it's difficult to forget the similar ravings of Prince Oleg just before his death at the hands of his nephew. And even though we really don't need the explanation, it's a nice touch to have Hvitserk recount that "one day everyone will know of Ivar the Boneless."
Entering this battle we are fairly certain King Harald doesn't plan to return alive to Kattegat, and while Ivar's death doesn't come as a complete surprise, it's narrative execution does. We see his leg and will give way several times during the battle, but it's his final stand that's a bit puzzling as he allows a young Saxon soldier free rein to kill him. "Don't be afraid," Ivar tells the man, but the complexity of this brief scene also includes Alfred who witnesses the event from mere yards away. Despite viewing the Vikings as savages, Alfred watches the tender scene as Hvitserk holds his dying brother in his arms. "Just leave me here with my brother for a moment," he tells the now kneeling king, who is so moved by what he sees that he immediately crosses himself. As the camera zooms out to an aerial shot looking down on the three men and Alfred's burning cross, we can't help but view this as the Christian God and the Norse gods looking down on these brave soldiers.

Ruttecknad snabelhund (Rhynchocyon cirnei) är en däggdjursart som beskrevs av Peters 1847. Rhynchocyon cirnei ingår i släktet snabelhundar, och familjen springnäbbmöss. IUCN kategoriserar arten globalt som nära hotad.

Artepitet i det vetenskapliga namnet hedrar en person med namnet Cirne som var med när arten upptäcktes.

Utseende
Med en kroppslängd (huvud och bål) av 23 till 31 cm, en svanslängd av 18 till 25,5 cm och en vikt mellan 410 och 550 g är arten en av de större medlemmarna i släktet snabelhundar. Kännetecknande är flera mörka fläckar på ovansidan som bildar strimmor vad som påminner om en schackbräda. Pälsens grundfärg är gulbrun till mörkbrun. Ruttecknad snabelhund har även de egenskaper som är typiska för hela släktet. Nosen bildar en lång snabel och de bakre extremiteterna är större än de främre. Med sina långa klor vid framtassarna kan individerna gräva i marken.

Utbredning och habitat
Denna snabelhund lever i centrala och östra Afrika från norra Kongo-Kinshasa österut till Uganda och söderut till östra Zambia, södra Tanzania, Malawi och norra Moçambique. Arten vistas i skogar, buskskogar och i mindre områden med träd eller buskar som kännetecknas av ett tjockt täcke av löv på marken. Därför är utbredningsområdet mera delat ifrån varandra avskilda populationer än kartan visar.

Ekologi
Ruttecknad snabelhund bildar monogama par som försvarar ett revir. Honan driver iväg andra honor och hanen strider mot inkräktare av hankön. Ibland syns mindre familjegrupper. Individerna är främst aktiva på dagen och sällan även på natten. De vilar i en grop och gömmer sig under löv. Territoriet markeras med ett sekret från en körtel som ligger nära djurets anus. Dessutom finns olika läten för kommunikationen. Vid fara trummar individerna med svansen eller med en annan kroppsdel på marken.

Arten äter främst insekter och deras larver samt andra ryggradslösa djur som daggmaskar. I mindre mått ingår små däggdjur, småfåglar och ägg i födan. Ruttecknad snabelhund jagas själv av ormar och av rovfåglar.

Honor kan ha 4 eller 5 kullar per år. Efter dräktigheten som varar cirka 42 dagar föds ungarna men angående deras antal finns olika uppgifter. Enligt en studie förekommer bara en unge per kull och enligt andra studier upp till fyra ungar. Ungen diar sin mor ungefär två veckor och sedan följer den med vid utflykter. Cirka 5 till 10 veckor senare blir den självständig och letar efter ett eget revir. Livslängden är okänd men andra snabelhundar kan leva 4 eller 5 år.

Underarter

Arten delas in i följande underarter:

 R. c. cirnei
 R. c. hendersoni
 R. c. macrurus
 R. c. reichardi
 R. c. shirensis
 R. c. stuhlmanni

Georges Seurat was a French post-Impressionist painter and draftsman. Born: December 2, 1859, Paris; Died: March 29, 1891 Paris.
GEORGES SEURAT 2014© Color pencil, oil pastels on paper 79.75"x 50" [202.565 cm x 127 cm] WITH DETAILS FROM young woman powdering herself 1888- 1890 PLUS PHOTO OF GEORGES SEURAT (BLACK & WHITE]
At 17 years Gary visited the Chicago Art Institute and was captivated by Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" as well as the charcoal drawings displayed. The innovative use of color was a catalyst for Gary leading to its prominent position in his art.
Visiting the Courtauld Institute of Art for the first time (1969) Gary was touched by Seurat's "The Young Woman Powdering herself ". The mood is of delicacy, intimacy and clarity. A sense of perfection emanates from the painting's surface. Gary was greatly influenced by Seurat's belief that color could be used to create harmony and emotion in the same way musicians use counterpoint and variation to create harmony. As a result Seurat strengthens Gary's preoccupation with color, making it indispensable in creating his visual art.
Very important for creating and practicing pointillism, Seurat also elevated drawing from an art tool/method to an art form in itself. Obvious from Gary's work, drawing is a prime art form rather than just a tool.
Prior to the discovery of this black and white photograph, Seurat's face was unknown. This is the only portrait know of Georges Seurat and was discovered over 100 years after his death.
young woman powdering herself 189- 1890 courtauld institute of art, london
The buxom young woman powdering herself in this painting is the artist's lover and mother of their two children, Madeleine Knobloch of whose existence only his closest friends were aware. This is the only personal acquaintance Seurat included in his artwork.
A SUNDAY AFTERNOON ON THE ISLAND OF LA GRANDE JATTE 1884-1886
GEORGES SEURAT photographer: unknown; black & white
xerographic image of "the young woman powdering herself" xerographic image of the frame in the upper left of the painting display the artist.
Xerographic images of "The Young Woman Powdering her Nose" revealed that the upper painted frame is now a mirror or picture of a table, vase and flowers. This Information Gary located in a Courtauld Institute of Art, London publication


We have, therefore, three groups of laws which govern the expression of the living purpose in this second solar system - one developed and another developing, with the third latent and relatively quiescent.
The Laws of Nature - the separate laws of the form nature.
The Laws of the Soul - the blending laws of group integrity.
The Laws of Life - the dynamic laws of Being itself.
The six rules deal only with the application of this realized integrity to the conditions and situation with which the healer is confronted. Integrity involves focus, tension and expression (simultaneously realized, consciously generated and dynamically used).

This Will Finally Be The Year; Tony Romo Will Lead the Dallas Cowboys to Super Bowl XLVIII.
By examining the possibility, rather than making it a joke, you must understand that Romo does not control all the "uncontrollables." Let's examine some losses in the 2012 season. In losses by one possession, the Cowboys allowed 29.2 points per game.
In Week 6, a missed 51-yard field goal for the win after Dez Bryant dropped a two-point conversion led to a loss. In Week 8, a Dez Bryant pinky finger led to an incomplete game-winning touchdown pass. Romo threw for four interceptions, but put his team within a pinky's length of a win. In Week 9, an Orlando Scandrick defensive holding penalty on third down with less than five minutes to go in the fourth quarter didn't leave Romo with any time to orchestrate any type of comeback. Romo would have gotten the ball down by just three points. In Week 15, Romo threw for 416 yards and four touchdowns. The defense allowed 562 total yards to the Saints. They lost in overtime.
Four games that could have gone either way, went the wrong way for Romo and the Cowboys. This is he point to where "Romo haters" jump to attack the quarterback, and the point where "Romo lovers" jump to defend the quarterback. But in the NFL, a league known for parody, the Cowboys could have also easily won those four games. So how can Romo lead the Cowboys to the Super Bowl?
Everything must go his way. That is a bold, but possible statement. Super Bowl teams have things go their way. That Week 6 loss for the Cowboys was a Week 6 win for the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens were also on the right side of games with a last second one-point win over the Patriots, a three-point win over the Steelers, an overtime win over theChargers and the double-overtime thriller in the playoffs against the Broncos. The Ravens had everything go their way.
The Ravens also were aided by a championship-caliber defense. Imagine if Romo was the quarterback of that team? Would he have won a Super Bowl instead of Flacco? Now in 2013, the defense will be better for Romo's Cowboys. The team is making the switch to the 4-3, a formation that will be key to the success this season. DeMarcus Ware will have his best year yet and will thrive in the new formation. Bruce Carter will continue his brilliance. High scoring offenses, like the Washington Redskins and the much-hyped Philadelphia Eagles will be slowed down by Monte Kiffin's "Tampa 2." Solid prediction: the Cowboys will have a top-10 ranked defense. So, if the Cowboys have a top defense, can Romo still do it? Yes.
In 2007, Romo threw for a career-high 19 interceptions—the same number in 2012. In 2007, he threw for a career-best 36 touchdowns and 28 in 2012. Romo also threw for 4,903 yards in 2012. In 2007, he threw for 4,211 yards. Romo went 13-3 with a defense that allowed the 13th least amount of points per game, but still had several issues in the secondary. Would Romo have won a championship with the Ravens defense in 2007?
Lastly, let's take a look at the rest of what Romo can't control. The offensive line: They will be better this year. Tyron Smith is now a year older and a year wiser. He's only 22 and getting stronger by the second. He is entering his third season, and the city of Dallas believes he has a bright future. Smith is The Dallas Morning News finalist for Dallas-Fort Worth's youngest sports stars with the brightest future. Just think, an offensive lineman beat out Morris Claiborne to make it to the final round of a bracket that included stars such as Dez Bryant, Bruce Carter, DeMarco Murray and the MLB's top prospect in Jurickson Profar.
Dez Bryant: Bryant will be the best receiver in the NFL. His stats have been drastically increasing each year, and he is motivated more than ever. With Jason Witten as the security blanket, Romo can look short, or stretch the field and hit his home run threat Bryant for a score. The Romo-to-Bryant connection will be unstoppable.
Bill Callahan: Add him to Bryant and Romo. Callahan will utilize the pair like he did when the Raiders went to the Super Bowl with Rich Gannon and Tim Brown. If Callahan can go to a Super Bowl with Rich Gannon, he can go to a Super Bowl with Romo. Callahan will include Romo in the game-planing. In a July article by Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com, Romo told the The Journal Times that he will be more involved with preparing the offense for games.
I think here going forward, I'll just be more involved in game-planning. There are certain things I really believe can help us that we're going to do some of that. It's a collective group effort, and I think we're all going to go in there and go to work.
If you've watched Cowboys games, have you ever seen a snap when Romo wasn't ready? Have you ever seen drive-killing offensive penalties? Have you ever seen missed handoffs? Have you ever seen the wrong route ran, then followed an interception? Romo is vowing to take care of these problems by getting more involved in the game-planning.
Romo will eliminate these mistakes, and his "uncontrollables" will be on his side. Romo will lead the Cowboys to Super Bowl XLVIII. Feel free to leave a comment in the comment section below.

← The Strangers: Prey at Night (2018)
Saturday the 14th (1981) →
Posted on April 14, 2018 by bandsaboutmovies
In 2020, most of Earth has been destroyed by sightless aliens that hunt via sound. But they aren't the real danger that humanity faces. No, they're facing nails. Upset pre-teens. And toys that make way too much noise.
Outside of Quest for Fire, this is the quietest, near dialogue-free movie that's been released in mainstream U.S. cinemas. It's interesting to me that John Krasinski wrote, directed and starred in this (he even is one of the monsters, doing some of the motion capture acting), as his star-making turn as Jim on the American version of The Office was marked by more of his silent reactions to events and longing for Pam than any words that he had to say. Along with real-life wife Emily Blunt, they form the emotional core of the tale, two parents trying to figure out how to raise children in a world where nearly everyone is dead and communication is impossible.
Millicent Simmonds from Wonderstruck is great as the daughter, whose deafness has helped her family, as their knowledge of American Sign Language has become an integral part of how they survive.
Originally, this film was intended to be a crossover or part of the Cloverfield universe. I'm glad that it was allowed to stand on its own merits. While some of the scares feel like Alien, there is still an originality to a movie that depends so much on sound design and subtle cues to bring out maximum suspense.
That said — as for originality, there's a movie coming out in September called The Silence, where a family comes up against "a deadly, primeval species who have bred for decades in the pitch darkness of a vast underground cave system, hunting only with their acute hearing. As the family seeks refuge in a remote haven where they can wait out the invasion, they start to wonder what kind of world will remain when they're ready to emerge." Which is even weirder is that the movie stars Stanley Tucci, who is married to Emily Blunt's sister Felicity.
This felt a bit slow to me, but I think that's just the build here. For someone who wasn't a horror fan growing up, Krasinski has a good feel for the genre. It's intriguing to me that two of the biggest hits of the last few years, this and Get Out, came not from genre veterans but for creatives known mainly for comedy. Which is, after all, tragedy plus time.
PS – The scenes with the nail sticking out of the steps had me more upset than anything I've seen in a film in some time. This is from someone who can eat Chinese takeout while watching Fulci. Sometimes, the most real horrors are the most frightening of all!

Jonathan Alter: Obama, Year One, The Promise

From The Promise: President Obama, Year One, by Jonathan Alter. To be published on May 18 by Simon & Schuster, Inc. © 2010 by Jonathan Alter.
The first of 10 "AFPAK" meetings came on Sept. 13, when the president gathered 16 advisers in the Situation Room in the basement of the White House. This was to be the most methodical national-security decision in a generation. Deputy national-security adviser Tom Donilon had commissioned research that backed up an astonishing historical truth: neither the Vietnam War nor the Iraq War featured any key meetings where all the issues and assumptions were discussed by policymakers. In both cases the United States was sucked into war inch by inch.
The Obama administration was determined to change that. "For the past eight years, whatever the military asked for, they got," Obama explained later. "My job was to slow things down." The president had something precious in modern crisis management: time. "I had to put up with the 'dithering' arguments from Dick Cheney or others," Obama said. "But as long as I wasn't shaken by the political chatter, I had the time to work through all these issues and ask a bunch of tough questions and force people to sharpen their pencils until we arrived at the best possible solution."
Obama's approach in the meetings was the same as always. He was, according to one participant, "clear-eyed, hardheaded, and demanding." More than once the president felt obliged to remind those briefing him that it wasn't 2001 anymore. The United States had been in Afghanistan for eight years, and doing more of the same wasn't going to cut it. The war in Afghanistan was destined soon to pass Vietnam (11 years) as the longest war in American history.
The AfPak sessions led to an explosion of unauthorized disclosures, spin, and cutthroat bureaucratic gamesmanship, including the leak of the McChrystal Report to Bob Woodward of The Washington Post. The president later admitted privately that his administration had handled the assigning of the report "stupidly." Instead of simply asking Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the new commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, for a status report on the deteriorating situation on the ground, he let Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, dispatch McChrystal with a vague assignment that included making recommendations. He figured he should have known that any report would inevitably get out if put on paper.
Did Obama Keep His Promises? Click the image above to see how he did in his first year.
The flap over the leak did nothing to chasten the Pentagon. In fact, the military, practiced in the ways of Washington, now ran PR circles around the neophytes in the Obama White House, leaking something to the Pentagon reporters nearly every day. The motive for all the leaks seemed clear to the White House: to box the president into the policy that McChrystal had recommended, at least another 80,000 troops and an open-ended commitment lasting 10 years or more.
Admiral Mullen, the son of a Hollywood publicist whose clients included Bob Hope and Jimmy Stewart, looked unassuming but knew how to handle himself in the press. Gen. David Petraeus, the CentCom commander, of course was a pro at cultivating reporters. Even before the leaking of the report, McChrystal, working with Mullen's approval, made himself shockingly accessible to the press. He sat for a long, colorful interview with 60 Minutes, appeared on the cover of The New York Times Magazine, and dismissed the Biden plan (few troops, targeting Al Qaeda with drones) to NEWSWEEK.
Mullen dug himself in especially deep at his reconfirmation hearings for chairman of the Joint Chiefs when he made an aggressive case for a long-term commitment in Afghanistan. White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel was enraged at Mullen's public testimony and let the Pentagon know it. When Petraeus gave an interview to Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson on Sept. 4 calling for a "fully resourced, comprehensive counterinsurgency campaign," the chief of staff was even angrier. Mullen and Petraeus thought the whole thing was a big misunderstanding. They said that once they heard the policy was under review, they stopped talking. "Hey, Denis, don't worry," Petraeus told NSC chief of staff Denis McDonough, "I get it."
If so, apparently McChrystal didn't get the word. Scheduled to give a speech on Oct. 1 before the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, McChrystal wasn't sure if he should make the trip, but Mullen told him he should definitely go; it would help the transatlantic alliance. The speech was unexceptional until the question period, when McChrystal crossed his commander in chief in ways that would have consequences. When a questioner asked if he could support a presidential decision to fight the war with drone aircraft and Special Forces that focused on defeating Al Qaeda, McChrystal replied, "The short, glib answer is no."
If the president sided with Biden, the commanding general couldn't support it? This was insubordination, and the White House was livid. Was McChrystal out of control or just naive? (The consensus was naive.) Obama and his senior staff believed this had Mullen's and Petraeus's fingerprints all over it. They were using McChrystal to jam the president, box him in, manipulate him, game him—use whatever verb you like. The president had not yet decided on a policy and didn't appreciate the military sounding in public as if he had.
Some aides worried at least briefly that Petraeus was politically ambitious and was making an implied threat: decide Afghanistan my way or I just might resign my command and run for president in 2012. It wasn't a crazy thought. Rep. Peter King and various blogs were promoting him for high office. Although he insisted he was uninterested, Petraeus was a registered Republican in New Hampshire and well positioned to run as a Colin Powell–style alternative to Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, or anyone else in the 2012 presidential primaries. When asked about it, Petraeus was, as he later put it, "Shermanesque." Not interested. "What part of 'no' don't you understand?" he said.
On the day after the London speech, McChrystal was summoned to Copenhagen to meet with Obama, who was trying—and failing—to lure the Olympics to Chicago. They talked alone for 25 minutes while Air Force One sat on the tarmac. It was only the second time the two had met since McChrystal took over in June. The president wasn't happy, but he held his temper in check, as usual. By this time the White House had concluded that McChrystal was simply in over his head in the media world, a pawn in Mullen and Petraeus's game.
Obama found that he liked McChrystal personally and thought he had the right approach for completing the mission. Of course he wanted more troops, Obama figured. All battlefield generals do. But Obama was perfectly aware of the box he was now in. He could defer entirely to his generals, as President Bush had done, which he considered an abdication of responsibility. Or he could overrule them, which would weaken their effectiveness, with negative consequences for soldiers in the field, relations with allies, and the president's own political position. There had to be a third way, he figured.
In the meantime it was important to remind the brass who was in charge. Inside the National Security Council, advisers considered what happened next historic, a presidential dressing-down unlike any in the United States in more than half a century. In the first week of October, Gates and Mullen were summoned to the Oval Office, where the president told them that he was "exceedingly unhappy" with the Pentagon's conduct. He said the leaks and positioning in advance of a decision were "disrespectful of the process" and "damaging to the men and women in uniform and to the country." In a cold fury Obama said he wanted to know "here and now" if the Pentagon would be on board with any presidential decision and could faithfully implement it.
"This was a cold and bracing meeting," said an official in the room. Lyndon Johnson had never talked to Gen. William Westmoreland that way, or George H.W. Bush to Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf. Presidents Kennedy, Carter, and Clinton had all been played by the Pentagon at various points but hadn't fought back as directly. Now Obama was sending an unmistakable message: don't toy with me. Just because he was young, new, a Democrat, and had never been in uniform didn't mean he was going to get backed into a corner.
Mullen described himself as "chagrined" after the meeting. He had always felt strongly about the importance of civilian control of the military, and in 2008 had delivered a message to the armed forces reminding all service personnel to stay out of politics. Now he and Gates pledged support and told the president that the conduct would change, and it did. On Oct. 5, Gates said in a speech to the Association of the United States Army that it was "imperative" that generals provide their advice "candidly but privately." (He felt the White House was just as guilty of damaging leaks as the Pentagon, and he hoped his message of discretion was heard there, too.) Mullen and Joint Chiefs vice chairman Gen. James Cartwright stopped selling the McChrystal plan and told Petraeus and McChrystal to stop talking publicly until the policy deliberations were resolved. "They swore loyalty," said one senior civilian official. "And we chose to believe them."
The Nov. 11 Veterans Day meeting, the eighth on AfPak, would prove pivotal. "I don't want to be going to Walter Reed for another eight years," Obama told the group. That day the president gave preliminary approval to the plan presented to him by the military, which called for 40,000 more troops to be sent to Afghanistan over 21 months. But the timetable stuck in his craw. Already in a snappish mood, he found it appalling that in the world of modern military transport it would take nearly two years to get those boots on the ground. In the Gulf War in 1990–91, the military got half a million troops to the region in less than six months.
"I don't know how we can describe this as a surge," Obama said sharply. The president then turned to Petraeus. "Am I mistaken in remembering that the 30,000 troops in Iraq arrived in a six-month window in 2007?"
"No," Petraeus said, "you're not." The president was treading in a sensitive area. "Any time Iraq was mentioned it was like putting a hot rod under Petraeus. He would practically levitate," said one person in the room. Obama bore in: "So why is this surge taking place over 21 months if that one was done in six months?"
Petraeus replied that the Afghanistan surge was not modeled on Iraq. "Well, your presentation earlier was on Iraq," Obama reminded him.
The general always threw in the caveat that Iraq and Afghanistan were very different countries. Afghanistan would need new runways, ammo storage, billets, and other military infrastructure before many more U.S. troops could arrive. But the whole thrust of his analysis, the basis of his prestige, was that what he had learned in Iraq could be applied to Afghanistan and other nations. They had talked about this for hours in previous meetings and now the president was calling Petraeus's bluff, as one note taker at the meeting put it. "The only way we'll consider this is if we get the troops in and out in a shorter time frame," Obama said.
Obama was moving out of his probing mode and toward conclusions and eventually presidential orders. This would not be a five- to seven-year nation-building commitment, much less an open-ended one. The time frame the military was offering for both getting in and getting out must shrink dramatically, he said. There would be no nationwide counterinsurgency strategy; the Pentagon was to present a "targeted" plan for protecting population centers, training Afghan security forces, and beginning a real—not a token—withdrawal within 18 months of the escalation.
On Sunday, Nov. 29, having made his decision, the president decided to hold a final Oval Office meeting with the Pentagon brass and commanders in the region who would carry out his orders. He wanted to put it directly to the military: Gates, Mullen, Cartwright, Petraeus, and national-security adviser Jim Jones, without any of the others. Obama asked Biden to come back early from Thanksgiving in Nantucket to join him for the meeting.
As they walked along the portico toward the Oval Office, Biden asked if the new policy of beginning a significant withdrawal in 2011 was a direct presidential order that couldn't be countermanded by the military. Obama said yes. The president didn't need the reminder. Obama had already learned something about leaving no room for ambiguity with the military. He would often summarize his own meetings in a purposeful, clear style by saying, "Let me tell you where I am," before enumerating points ("One, two, three") and finishing with, "And that's my order."
Inside the Oval Office, Obama asked Petraeus, "David, tell me now. I want you to be honest with me. You can do this in 18 months?"
"Sir, I'm confident we can train and hand over to the ANA [Afghan National Army] in that time frame," Petraeus replied.
"Good. No problem," the president said. "If you can't do the things you say you can in 18 months, then no one is going to suggest we stay, right?"
"Yes, sir, in agreement," Petraeus said.
"Yes, sir," Mullen said.
The president was crisp but informal. "Bob, you have any problems?" he asked Gates, who said he was fine with it.
The president then encapsulated the new policy: in quickly, out quickly, focus on Al Qaeda, and build the Afghan Army. "I'm not asking you to change what you believe, but if you don't agree with me that we can execute this, say so now," he said. No one said anything.
"Tell me now," Obama repeated.
"Fully support, sir," Mullen said.
"Ditto," Petraeus said.
Obama was trying to turn the tables on the military, to box them in after they had spent most of the year boxing him in. If, after 18 months, the situation in Afghanistan had stabilized as he expected, then troops could begin to come home. If conditions didn't stabilize enough to begin an orderly withdrawal of U.S. forces (or if they deteriorated further), that would undermine the Pentagon's belief in the effectiveness of more troops. The commanders couldn't say they didn't have enough time to make the escalation work because they had specifically said, under explicit questioning, that they did.
It wasn't a secret that someone in the military would likely have been fired had Biden been president. But the vice president admitted to other advisers that it was better that Obama was in charge and showing more mercy toward the Pentagon. The generals thought they were working him over, Biden said privately, but the president had the upper hand. He was a step ahead of them, and as much as some of them thought they had obliterated the July 2011 deadline for beginning a withdrawal, they were mistaken.
When he spoke to McChrystal by teleconference, Obama couldn't have been clearer in his instructions. "Do not occupy what you cannot transfer," the president ordered. In a later call he said it again: "Do not occupy what you cannot transfer." He didn't want the United States moving into a section of the country unless it was to prepare for transferring security responsibilities to the Afghans. The troops should dig wells and pass out seeds and all the other development ideas they had talked about for months, but if he learned that U.S. soldiers had been camped in a town without any timetable for transfer of authority he wasn't going to be happy.
At the conclusion of an interview in his West Wing office, Biden was adamant. "In July of 2011 you're going to see a whole lot of people moving out. Bet on it," Biden said as he wheeled to leave the room, late for lunch with the president. He turned at the door and said once more, "Bet. On. It."

On April 6, 1924, four Douglas World Cruisers and eight crewmen set out from Seattle, Washington, to attempt the first around-the-world airplane flight. Some 175 days later, on September 28, three of the bi-planes and the six men aboard became the first to circumnavigate the earth by air.
Named after four major American cities — Seattle, Chicago, Boston, and New Orleans — the airplanes were capable of operating from both land and water and were equipped with the latest navigational aids. Even so, fog, blizzards, thunderstorms and sandstorms took their toll. While flying in dense fog, the "Seattle" crashed on an Alaskan mountainside. It was not replaced. The "Boston" was forced to land at sea and subsequently sank. It was replaced by a backup plane that had been built as a quintuplet to the four that began the flight. No serious injuries resulted from either accident, and the six crewmen continued on in the Boston II, Chicago, and New Orleans.
While other nations were competing to achieve the first world flight, the American success was largely a result of extensive planning. The cooperation of 28 countries along the flight path was enlisted. Stations were established to supply thousands of gallons of gasoline, oil, spare parts and other necessary supplies. The Army's most qualified pilots and mechanics were recruited to participate in the effort.
Today world air travel can be accomplished in a fraction of the time of those 1924 flights. The men and airplanes participating in this flight are credited with one of aviation's greatest achievements.

NASA Targets July 8 for Last Shuttle Launch
by SpaceNews Staff — May 23, 2011
NASA targets July 8 for last shuttle launch by Space Shuttle Atlantis. Credit: NASA image
NASA is targeting the final launch of the space shuttle program for July 8, the U.S. space agency announced May 20.
The Space Shuttle Atlantis is slated to carry four veteran astronauts to the international space station to deliver supplies and spare parts for the orbiting outpost. NASA is targeting an 11:40 a.m. liftoff from Florida's Kennedy Space Center.
The target launch date for Atlantis' 12-day mission is based on NASA's current planning. An official launch date will be announced following a June 28 flight readiness review.
During the final shuttle flight, designated STS-135, Atlantis will deliver hardware built by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center to demonstrate the tools and technologies needed to refuel satellites in orbit.
The astronaut crew also will retrieve an ammonia pump that failed on the space station in July 2010. Engineers want to understand why the pump failed and hope to use the knowledge to improve future designs.

This article aims to examine how the banks apprehend CSR according to their legal status: the case of cooperative banks and solidarity actions in France.
Is the concept of CSR an opportunity for French banks of the mutuality type sector? Do the banks have a tendency to copy and trivialize the concept?
This article gives a comprehensive description of the way in which CSR, and more largely SD, is implemented today in France. It broaches new legislation established in the country and gives an explanation of the way in which the economic, social and political factors take these issues into consideration and act on them.


If you enjoyed the stories of the "Golden Girls'" tour with the Barefoot Blogger, this post will take you back a generation or two. For last weekend, I got up close and personal with the Bad Girls of London while they literally "took over" two bistros in Sete.
Friday night's performance was in an intimate setting at a bistro on a backstreet in Sete. A popular place for locals, Le Bistro du Marche was hopping more than usual when the girls from London started up their sets.
Even the bar keeper was overwhelmed with the crowd the Bad Girls brought in to the hide-away-place. Business was booming.
When the Bad Girls let out their rendition of "Breaking up somebody's home" the crowd moved in on the tiny bandstand. Nevermind that it was a steamy August night with only two bar doors opened to let in air.
Saturday night at Bar le St Clair the atmosphere was electric.
With a front row seat because I was staying at the same AIRBNB with the keyboard artist Emily's Mom, I could feel the cool breeze from the Sete waterway … or maybe that was chills from the fabulous sounds coming from the Bad Girls Groove Band.
Either way, the combination of jazz, rock and funk music mixed with cocktails served with flaming sparklers literally lit up the town.
The Bad Girls Groove Band is not your average rock group. Musicians range in age from 20's to 60's. Some have made the art a lifetime career with credentials that include composing, performing and recording with musical partners throughout Europe. Others are just starting out, aspiring to keep the sounds of James Brown, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Amy Winehouse, and other icons of jazz and blues alive. A few simply love to make music yet spend their daylight hours working in totally unrelated fields.
Even though some stand ins or "playmates" were on stage in Sete instead of the "regulars", the group's esprit de corps was evident. What holds them together is their incredible talent, energy and soulful sound.
Thank YOU! Nancy, for introducing me to all these wonderful friends of yours … and your town! Best AIRBNB hostess ever!
Great blog Debby. I really felt as though I had been at the event too.
And what a fabulous beard the barkeeper has…!
How do they stay so fresh is all the heat! I looked for them on ITunes and couldn't find them, but I did find the song by the incomperable Etta James. Would have loved to have been there!
You should really think about living in Sete. It's fab.
Same here. It was a great weekend, thanks to you!
Would love to hear you play again in France. Maybe someday in London! Thanks and good luck. You're fabulous!

In 2003, LaBeouf made his theatrical film debut in Holes, also appearing in the lead role in The Battle of Shaker Heights that same year.
In 2005, LaBeouf made his transition into more mature roles with The Greatest Game Ever Played. In 2007, he starred as the leads in Disturbia and Transformers, and the following year he appeared in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull as Indiana's son. In 2009, LaBeouf reprised his role as Sam Witwicky in the Transformers sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and appeared in New York, I Love You. His upcoming films include the lead roles in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, Transformers 3 and The Associate.
