Postal 2 petition1/10/2024 ![]() Unlike its predecessor, Postal 2 is played completely in first-person based on the Unreal Engine 2. Both are intentionally highly controversial due to high levels of violence and stereotyping. Now this is a situation which is really dangerous to Christian life, for inward knowledge will never be reached along the barren path of self-analysis. Postal 2 (stylized as POSTAL2) is a black comedy first-person shooter video game by Running With Scissors, and it is the sequel to the 1997 game Postal. Please also encourage others to AVOID this game, as well as ANY RETAILERS who choose to sell it.They are trying to look within, to differentiate, to discriminate, to analyze, and in doing so are bringing themselves into deeper bondage. PLEASE sign this petition, indicating your refusal to support this game and it\'s developer, as well as your request that retailers refuse to carry it.

Postal - Postal 2 Petition by Stradomyre. ![]() The item and the phrases are reference to Postal 2. When used, it makes your character say a series of five phrases in a random order, often repeating. Perhaps so, but there is NO QUESTION in any sane person\'s mind that \"Postal 2\" is WAY OVER THE LINE. Upon receipt of a petition, the Postal Inspection Service shall investigate. It can only be obtained through a Cryptic Case. One could argue that there may be a \"grey area\" or a \"line\" between what is acceptable and what is not. The fact is I am an avid PC gamer, and have no problem with games depicting some violent elements. Questions about adoption or termination of parental rights in TN Call Peterson White LLP for honest representation and guidance every step of the way. I am sure that I (and any others of like mind) will be branded as \"repressed,\" \"puritan,\" \"fascist,\" and who knows what else. Retain the Services of our Adoption Attorney in Knoxville Today. oh, wait - those nightmarish regimes don\'t exist anymore, do they Perhaps this title would have been better-off marketed in Hussein\'s Iraq, or Hitler\'s germany. The developers sadly claim that because you can \"choose a non-violent option\" in this game, that somehow this sort of depravity is \"only as offensive as you make it.\" If you are not familiar with Postal 2 (or it\'s predecessor \"Postal\") the \"game\" pits your character against the world, in a Columbine-style killing spree, replete with blood-spattering mayhem, realistic sounds of victims begging for their lives, execution-style killings (where you put them out of their misery), and much, much more! Need I go on Reportedly, the manner in which you \"exit the game\" in Postal 2 is to turn the gun on yourself. That means, for example, a worker who was paid 10. It goes out of it\'s way to offend everyone, and the authors hide behind the flimsiest and most pitiful collection of moral equivalencies in order to justify their obvious love for brutality, blatant disregard for humanity, and anything that could be considered moral. The raises in the five-year contract are retroactive to Aug. This \"product\" is brutal and UNIVERSALLY OFFENSIVE. The PC \"game\" called \"Postal 2\" (by developer Running With Scissors) is the most morally reprehensible work of obscenity to be foisted on the public in years.

Travel stratego game1/10/2024 ![]() If you have an invincible piece, trade off your lesser valued pieces with equal valued opponent's pieces. Trade off when you have the highest rank.For this reason, I usually deploy most of my Miners in my back two ranks. It's usually a good idea to save your Miners for the late stages of the game, after most of your opponent's Bombs have been identified. If your opponent correctly guesses the location of your Spy, or if your Spy becomes a casualty of war, your opponent's Marshal becomes much more powerful. Keep the identity of your Spy a secret for as long as you can. Also, your opponent's higher ranking piece can easily blow through your formation if they are all the same value. You are generally not gaining much by keeping the same ranked piece adjacent to another, since you can only attack by one piece. It is generally a good idea to not setup same ranked pieces adjacent to each other. The second method is anywhere else in the back row and requires three Bombs. The first one is in the back row, up against one of the edges of the board. He must now capture all of your remaining men in order to win.īelow are the two most common methods of surrounding the Flag with Bombs. If your Flag is surrounded by Bombs, without Miners, your opponent simply will not be able to capture your Flag. If you do so, and if during the game you are able to capture all of your opponent's Miners, you reduce the number of ways your opponent can win the game in half. It is usually a good idea to completely surround your Flag with Bombs. Once my opponent figures out my bomb formation for certain setups, he has to guess between three different locations for my flag. I often use similar setups as far as bomb locations, but alternate where my flag is located. If your order is delayed feel free to contact us on we will help locate your order.When you play each game against the same opponent, then alternate your flag location as well as bomb setups, to insure you opponent can't predict where your flag is located. ![]() We cannot guarantee courier delivery times at peak periods, these are only an estimate.

Big business us history1/10/2024 ![]() The idea that America has a monopoly problem is now beyond dispute. Many Republicans also oppose the formation of monopolies, but the Democrats in particular would benefit from making it a centerpiece of their platform in the coming years. Yet today most Americans associate terms like “freedom” and “liberty” with Republicans, and if that remains the case, Democrats will likely have trouble rebuilding their party as they look to 2018. This tradition, which dates to the time of Thomas Jefferson, found expression in anti-monopoly policies designed to protect Americans not just as consumers, but also as citizens and producers, from domination by the powerful. Monopoly provides much of the funds the wealthy use to distort American politics.įor most of the 20th century the Democratic Party worked hard to prevent such extreme concentration of power. The effects of monopoly enrage voters in their day-to-day lives, as they face the sky-high prices set by drug-company cartels and the abuses of cable providers, health insurers, and airlines. Monopoly is a main driver of inequality, as profits concentrate more wealth in the hands of the few. It includes falling real wages, as decades of mergers have reduced the need for employers to compete to attract and retain workers. It includes plunging rates of entrepreneurship and innovation as concentrated markets choke off independent businesses and new start-ups. ![]() It includes the fading of heartland cities like Memphis and Minneapolis as corporate giants in coastal cities buy out local banks and businesses. These include the declining fortunes of rural America as farmers struggle against agriculture conglomerates. It was based on a substantial and growing body of research that confirms that consolidation is at the root of many of America’s most pressing economic and political problems. The pity is that Clinton’s stance wasn’t simple campaign rhetoric. Few other Democrats even mentioned the word monopoly. Yet after the Ohio speech, Clinton rarely touched again on the issue. It was a message seemingly tailor-made for the wrathful electorate of 2016. It’s no wonder Americans feel the deck is stacked for those at the top.” In a speech in Toledo last fall, Clinton assailed “old-fashioned monopolies” and vowed to appoint “tough” enforcers “so the big don’t keep getting bigger and bigger.”Ĭlinton’s words were in keeping with Bernie Sanders’s attacks on big banks, but went further, tracing how concentration is a problem throughout the economy. In an October 2015 op-ed, she wrote that “large corporations are concentrating control over markets” and “using their power to raise prices, limit choices for consumers, lower wages for workers, and hold back competition from startups and small businesses. ![]() Obama's Top 50 Accomplishments, RevisitedĪs it happens, Clinton did have the germ of exactly such an idea-if one knew where to look.Clinton simply didn’t articulate a vision compelling enough to compete with Donald Trump’s rousing, if dubious, message that bad trade deals and illegal immigration explain the downward mobility of so many Americans. There are many competing interpretations for why Hillary Clinton lost last fall’s election, but most observers do agree that economics played a big role.

Tailgate trim removal 1968 el camino1/10/2024 It isn't as much from truck enthusiasts or Home Depot types as I expected. I get a lot of attention in traffic and in public. I never would have thought that an old El Camino would have the potential to be such a rewarding road car. ![]() There is no funny weight/balance consideration due to the car being a 2-door station wagon with the back window moved forward. It corners at least as well as my modified 2nd gen Camaro Z28, is very neutral, and is an absolute blast to drive. The body shop bill would have been roughly $4,000, but I managed to save slightly over 3/4 of that by doing the work myself.ĭriving my Elco with modern suspension and steering and brakes brought a huge surprise as to how well it actually can handle and drive. For that reason it took longer, but in the end the job was done much better because by gathering 3 other rust-free roofs I was able to rebuild the entire structure inside and out with perfect metal, rather than just simply re-skinning over the rusty inner structure. That would be solely due to the non-availability of new/repop 2nd gen Elco steel for the roof area. The hardest part about "restoring" my Elco has to be the work I did on the roof. Doing it with an Elco just grinds their defeat into their memory all the more deeply. They are not the magic engines that Hemi-worshippers would have you believe. He changed his tune real fast when I turned off his radio. phony-fake-fraudulent) Hemi Belvedere parked next to me was smiling politely and condescendingly at my car until I lifted the hood, and then he glared and shut up. One guy walked away telling his companion that my car has a Hemi in it. It bugs know-it-alls at cruise nights when I totally ignore their questions as to why I have wires going into my breather tank. This way you can reference to the part and what you need. The elcamino store also has a lot of the parts with photos to see what you are looking at. Good photos on the East Coast Chevelle pages of the parts. Oh and alot of our sponsors here carry the parts. ![]() You can use the one piece floor pans with rockers and all, but you just have to add 4in to the rockers to get to the end, Not that bad as to what it could be. Not many but a few are (take it when you can get it). And some of the elcamino parts are cheeper than the chevelle parts. There is only a few Elcamino parts that are specific to the vehicle which I mentioned above. The cost of the sheetmetel is about the same, most parts minus the quarters,tailgate, roof, door skins, bed, and inner bed pieces is all chevelle. The good news is that I have lots of friends with skills and they are more than willing to help.I have to help with the beer and steak funds:beers: but hey small price if I want it done right and my way. ![]() As of right now, it is everything, cowl, cowl shoulders, firewall, entire floorboard, roof, rear panel, smugglers box lid, bed sides, tailgate, and quarters.Oh and I forgot the fenders, and rad support.

The story of an hour annotations1/10/2024 ![]() As Louise processes the news of her husband’s death, she realizes something wonderful and terrible at the same time: she is free. Upon hearing the news of her husband’s death, Louise is grief-stricken, locks herself in her room, and weeps.įrom here, the story shifts in tone. Richards had been at the newspaper office when the news broke, and he takes Josephine with him to break the news to Louise since they’re afraid of aggravating her heart condition. Louise Mallard is at home when her sister, Josephine, and her husband’s friend, Richards, come to tell her that her husband, Brently Mallard, has been killed in a railroad accident. We recommend you read it again before diving into our analyses in the next section!įor those who just need a refresher, here’s “The Story of an Hour” summary: This section includes a quick recap, but you can find “The Story of an Hour” PDF and full version here. If it’s been a little while since you’ve read Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour,” it can be hard to remember the important details. Analysis of the key story elements in “The Story of an Hour,” including themes, characters, and symbolsīy the end of this article, you’ll have an expert grasp on Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour.” So let’s get started!.A brief history of Kate Chopin and America the 1890s.In this guide to Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour,” we’ll discuss: It was in this world that author Kate Chopin wrote and lived, and many of the issues of the period are reflected in her short story, “The Story of an Hour.” Now, over a century later, the story remains one of Kate Chopin’s most well-known works and continues to shed light on the internal struggle of women who have been denied autonomy. While this world might sound like the present day, it also describes America in the 1890s. He is the author of, among others, The Secret Library: A Book-Lovers’ Journey Through Curiosities of History and The Great War, The Waste Land and the Modernist Long Poem.Imagine a world where women are fighting for unprecedented rights, the economic climate is unpredictable, and new developments in technology are made every year. The author of this article, Dr Oliver Tearle, is a literary critic and lecturer in English at Loughborough University. If you enjoyed this analysis of ‘The Story of an Hour’, you might also enjoy Anton Chekhov’s 1900 story ‘At Christmas Time’, to which Chopin’s story has been compared.ĭiscover more of Kate Chopin’s fine stories, including ‘The Story of an Hour’, in The Awakening And Other Stories (Oxford World’s Classics). But the (presumably male) doctors who attended her death would not have assumed any such thing: they would have analysed her death as a result of her love for her husband, and the sheer joy she felt at having him back.Ĭhopin’s story also foreshadows Katherine Mansfield’s ‘The Garden Party’, and Laura Sheridan’s enigmatic emotional reaction to seeing her first dead body (as with Chopin’s story, a man who has died in an accident). ![]() So it was not joy but disappointment, if anything, that brought on the heart attack that killed her. Then, there’s a key in the front door and who should enter but … Mrs Mallard’s husband, Brently Mallard.Ĭonsider the final sentence of the story: ‘When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease – of joy that kills.’ The irony, of course, is that Louisa appears to have accepted her husband’s death and to have taken his demise as a chance to liberate herself from an oppressive marriage (note Chopin’s reference to the lines on her face which ‘bespoke repression and even a certain strength’ – what did she need that strength for, we wonder?). Richards is still down there, waiting for them. ![]() Eventually she opens the door and she and Josephine go back downstairs. She used to dread the prospect of living to a ripe old age, but now she welcomes such a prospect. But Louise doesn’t feel ill: she feels on top of the world. But now, that didn’t matter: what matters is the ‘self-assertion’, the declaration of independence, that her life alone represents a new start.īut then, her sister Josephine calls from outside the door for her to come out, worried that Louise is making herself ill. She reflects that she had loved her husband – sometimes. She dreads seeing her husband’s face (as she knows she must, when she goes to identify the body), but she knows that beyond that lie years and years of her life yet to be lived, and ‘would all belong to her absolutely’. Now her husband is dead, it seems, she feels free. Then, gradually, a feeling begins to form within her: a sense of freedom.

The story is set several years after the first game. Experience gained in the prologue carries over to Dead Rising 2 (to a level cap of 5), giving the player a head start. ![]() Dead Rising 2: Case Zero features the same (albeit limited) gameplay engine and takes place in the small desert town of Still Creek. Dead Rising 2 was released in the US on September 28, 2010.Īlmost a month before the game's release, Capcom published a downloadable prologue game to Dead Rising 2 exclusively for the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade for 400 MSP ($5). Taking place five years after the original Dead Rising, players control former Motocross champion Chuck Greene as he uncovers a conspiracy involving the zombie outbreak in the glamorous Las Vegas-like city of Fortune City while trying to earn money to keep his daughter, Katey, from becoming a zombie (using an experimental drug called Zombrex). Has the same attacks as the corruption with the addition of being able to spawn undead.Overview Chuck Greene, the game's protagonist, with his own invention: the Paddlesaw.ĭead Rising 2 is a third-person action-adventure survival horror game developed by Capcom in conjunction with Blue Castle Games and published by Capcom for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Overseer (Champion): Champion version of the Corruption.It's main attack is a projectile ball of lightning. Corruption: Corruptions take the form a sphere shaped enemy with one eye in the center.Can freeze its target solid for a few seconds. Cold One (Champion): Slow moving undead.Their attacks are slow but deal large amounts of damage and with that they also heal their own health. Fury (Champion): The Fury appears as a Walking Dead but they move much faster.Uses a melee attack and breathes an Aether flame. Tainted Pack Leader: Larger Tainted Hound.They are much faster then the average Aether Corruption. Tainted Hound: These monsters appear as a two-headed and two-tailed dog. ![]() Because of this they are more difficult to defeat. They are armored and usually carry a melee weapon such as a sword. They are fairly slow but do have the ability to charge towards the player.
