"It Is in my Judgment Imperative for the sake of Cuba that there shall be an immediate cessation of hostilities and some arrangement which will secure the permanent pacification of thq island.Says Hostilities Must Stop. Fifty thousand persons surged about the stand erected in the cupltol grounds, frantic to secure a glimpse of Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, the president's daughter. TAFT AND BACON SENT TO HAVANA "I am sending to Havana the secretary of war, Mr. Taft, and the assistant secretary of state, Mr. Bacon, as the special representatives of this government, who will render such aid as Is possible toward those ends.

Suddenly Mrs. Longworth grasped the cord and unveiled the statue, but even this did not avail, and the whole programme was declared off for the time. their programmes .as a 'wonderful work of thaumaturgy,' and 'occult demonstrations extraordinary.' "Through you I desire In this way to communicate with the Cuban government and with the Cuban people, and accordingly I am sending you a copy of this letter to be presented to President Palma and have also directed its immediate publication." Count Witte did not lose his nerve in the presence of the danger which menaced him, although he paled slightly, and thanked the police oilloers who had saved him. Fought In Spanish War. In the meantime Nickerson, who had enlisted at the outbreak of the Spnnish- Amerlcan war, went to the Philippines. He asserts that he has saved $7,000. eel Willie on Duty. "The affidavits describe Mrs. Fay, who says she is 'a daughter of India, possessing the art of tho East India Yogi and famed Mahatmas,' as really a native of a little town near St. Louis, Mo. Then they profess to tell just how she does .the things which have puzzled the roof garden audiences. Shirk Duty to Intervene Imposed, on Him by Treaty — Cordon of United States Warships to Surround Disturbed Country. In the Lehigh county court, Judge Heydt, of Carbon county, defined the legal rights of the State Constabulary. He was called upon by Judge Trexler to preside at tho trial of Sergeant H. P. Hunt and Private Thomas Melkrantz, of the Heading troop, which was summoned to Allentown last June to preserve order during the strike of the employes of tho Lehigh Valley Transit Co. He called at the office of a mill In which his daughter/ who when he saw her last was a little girl, was working. He told her that he had heard that her mother, bis wife, was married again and that he did not want to see her and thus cause her what be called unnecessary pain. MORE EVIDENCE FOUND It Is otliclally announced that Secretary of War Taft will leave Washington for Havana tomorrow morning. He will be accompanied by Robert Bacon, assistant secretary of state. They will go to Havana on board a naval vessel. Warship to Carry Taft. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Sept. 15.—In a letter to Senor Don Gonzalo de Qucsada, Cuban minister to the United States, President Roosevelt, after professing his personal friendship and that of this country for Cuba, warns the minister that unless there shall be an immediate cessation of hostilities he will consider It his duty to Intervene in the affairs of the Cuban republic. "It all came out In an action brought by Mrs. Eva Fay, the Yogi's daughter, and her husband, John T. Fay, for an injunction restraining Herbert Lambourne and Louis Granat from using the name 'The Fays," In any play they may produce. Tho Fays made affidavit that the defendants had for some time been employed by them, and that when the plaintiffs left the city last July the two defendants entered their apartments and stole copier of 'Fay's Dream Book' and thon and there started out with a rival show called 'The Flamaturgists.'Against Woman Held For Passing Counterfeits. Mrs. Longworth Retains Coolness. Throughout the exciting scenes Mrs. Longworth remained cool and self possessed. Afterward she said that It was the worst crush she had ever seen. He told the girl If she would come and live with him be, would place the $7,000 in a bank in her name. Later Nickerson left Olneyvllle, he says for the last time. IJe has not seen his wife and told his friends that be hopes she Is happy. His daughter will live with her mother. The two troopers fired Into a crowd which was following them to the jail while they had a man • under arrest, and wounded Winkle, 14 years old. The president's purpose is to secure from absolutely dependable sources information that will establish clearly the fact that President Palma either does or docs not In his administration represent a majority of Cuban people. It will bo for Secretary Taft and Acting Secretary Bacon to determine for themselves this fact. The programme of exercises was carried out In the evening at Memorial hall, Governor Harris presiding. The speakers were William R. Day, associate justice of the supreme court of the United States; John W. Daniel, United States senator from Virginia; General Joseph McKay of Brooklyn, national commander of the Union Veteran legion, and General R. B. Brown, commander In chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. Mrs. McKinley was unnble to attend the dedicatory exercises, but she was represented by her niece, Mrs. Ida McKinley Iiay.

Judge HeydJ charged the Jury as follows: "I am sending -to Havana," says the president's. letter, "the qperetary of war, Mr. Taft, and the assistant secretary of state, Mr. Bacon, as the special representatives of this government, who will render such aid as is possible toward these ends."

"That labor unions have a right to exist cannot denied and they have the right to qpfend themselves from corporate gre«(l and corporation oppression, and ihey have the right to strike. Corporate roads have also a right to run cars with men on hand and those whom they wish to employ. "When strlketg interfere they violate all that pertains to their interest. It then becomes the duty of the sheriff suppress the disorder that may ensue. In this case, according to the testimony, he could not enlist the service of the necessary deputies, the populace sympathizing with the strikers. Then he' applied for the State police. The cruiser Des Moines has already joined the Denver at Havana. The Marietta Is at Clenfuegos. The Dixie, with .100 marines aboard, from Guantauamo is making for the Cuban capital with all speed, while in home ports the Taconia is about to. sail for Cuba Mrs. Charles Gonzarre .the Italian woman arrested on the charge of passing counterfeit money and who Is in the Lackawanna county jail, will have to face evidence of the most damaging character at the hearing against her next Tuesday a'fternoon. Secret service men, aMert by local authorities, have been working up their case against the passers of counterfeit money, with the result that a strong case has been made out against the woman. A large number of subpoenaes have boen issued for local people who know anything of the cases. These include Mayor Langan, members of the police force and others. Damaging evidence has been dis- "Lambourne and Granat denied these statements. Lambourne said ho used to be employed by the Fays as a property man, and when he left them In July he 'determined to expose tho fraud committed by them on the public.' Partly In pursuance of this determination and partly as a matter of business, h® . advertised his play as 'The Flamaturgist8—A Feeze." President Roosevelt's Letter. President's Roosevelt's letter is worded as follows: PalmerCobleigh Contast Goes Unceasingly On.

Yoii know how sincere my affection and admiration and regard for Cuba are. You know that I never have done and never shall do anything in reference to Cuba save with such sincere regard for her welfare. You a Wo know the pride I felt because it enne to me as president to withdraw the American troops from the Island of Cuba and o'.llcially to proclaim her Independence and to wish her godspeed in her career as a free* from Norfolk, to bo followed by the Cleveland aud the Newark. 8tatue Poor Man's Tribute. Marine Corps Ready. The memorial, the work of Herman A. McNeil of New York, may be termed the poor man's tribute to the late president, as half of the funds were secured by popular subscription. The legislature appropriated $25,000. " 'Duijng the performance,' continues Lambourne's affidavit, whereby the credulity and the gullibility of the public is sought to be aroused In order to advance the sale of the dreambook, Mrs. Pay, pretending to be in some imaginary state of mind reading or mesmerism, calls upon the audience to write questions upon papers, sign them with their names, and keep their minds upon the matter written about with the promise that the questions asked will be correctly answered. The Minneapolis, at Leajrue island under preparatory orders, Is ready to sail when the starting signal comes from Washington. Meanwhile the marine corps is In perfect readiness and expects to be uble to place 2,000 marlues aboard ship at a few hours' notice.

To the right Is a figure representing "Industry," and at Ills side Is a boy r«presenting "Education." To the left end Is the model of a woman typifying "Prosperity," a girl by her side "Peace." Testified Yesterday. Harrisburg, Sept. 16.—The hearing In the Congressional contest between Congressman Palmer and Dr. Coblcigh Harrlsburg has been an unceasing grind all day today. The only thing out of the ordinary Is the probability, amounting almost to a certainty, that the hearing will drag over until Monday. At the beginning of the a'ternoon session it seems Impossible that all the rebuttal testimony to be advanced by Dr. Cobleigh can be squeezed into the few hours remaining. The case will likely be concluded on Monday. •'Those who do not favor the existence of the constabulary must voice their convictions at the ballot box, not in disorder. The law must be recognized. covered in the case of the woman prisoner. Another proof that she has been passing coins of bad make other than by chance was discovered yesterday by Constable Mlohael Buckley, Thus it appears that within a short time an effective fleet of naval vessels will surround the island of Cuba, and they will lie well manned by marine contingents, making good a deficiency In the present equipment of the Den- who arrested her. M. Roginsky, a South Main street merchant, is the latest witness found. Mrs. Gonzarre had been a patron of the Roginsky store for the past two or three years, and Mr. Roginsky and his family knew her well by sight. Two weeks ugo she purchased a mattress in the store, for which she paid three dollars, two dollars in bills and two half dol- "Under the terms of the act, they had a right to arrest the man these two troopers were escorting to Jail. They testified he yelled 'scab' at them, a term of opprobrium among labor unions. Simple hooting or laughing is not a cause for arrest, but officers of the State police have decided that the yelling of the word 'scab' Is cause for arrest. They dislike the term and have Issued an order prohibiting the yelling of the word. As for myself, I think the ofTense of the man arrested was a trivial one. Probably If he had been brought before me for trial he would have oSten acquitted. "The questions are written upon pads, which are ostensibly plain sheets of paper, but which are so prepared that when one sheet Is torn off the writing can be shown by the use of charcoal powder upon the sheet underneath. These sheets are developed by confederates in the audience, cor-, rect answers are obtained from the questioners, and while Mrs. Fay ap-* pears on the stage ostensibly In a trance and Is covered by a veil, sho uses a telephone and the correct answers are conveyed through tubes from the audience room to the basement below the stage and from thera telephoned to Mrs. Fay. reiju'jlic REBELS OFFER TO GIVE IN. Fuller Declination Unauthorized. WisheD Well ts l3lsr.d New York, Sept. 18.—The following dispatch wus received nt the Independence league headquarters from George A. Fuller, who was nominated by the league for state treasurer: "Numerous statements purporting to quote me In reference to my nomination for state treasurer by the Independence league tend to place all concerned in a false position. I have authorized no statement, and when I shall have beeii formally notified of the honor the In dependence league does me I shall make proper reply defining my position.""I desire now through you to say a word of solemn warning to your people, whose earnest well wisher Iv am. For seven years Cuba has boon in a condition of profound peace and of steadily growing prosperity. For four yeans this peaC*e and prosperity have obtained under her own independent Liberal Leaders Try to Surrender to American Commander. Havana, Sept. 15.—Alfredo Zayas, president of the Liberal party, who Is with the insurgents, and General Loynaz del Castillo, commander of the Insurgent forces in Havana provluce, have sent in two. more emissaries to Commander Colwell offering to come In and surrender on board the Denver. Commander Colwell replied that he was unable to Interfere and that President Falina was communicating with Washington In the matter. The emissaries stated that Zayas has telegraphed to the insurgent commander of every province to cease fighting because negotiations were pending for surrender to the American naval com- Thls afternoon is being given up to rebuttal testimony by Dr. Cobleigh's side. Nothing startling has been presented, and the hearing Is of a humdrum; nature. Mr. Palmer Is very hopeful of winning, judging that the court cannot help being impressed by the h'gh character of the witnesses who have testified in his behalf. This, he thinks, will have great weight with the court in~ its decision. The latest programme that can be gleaned is that the hearing of witnesses will bo closed, if possible, today, and that the closing arguments will be made on Monday. At this rate the caBe should bo In the hands of the judges by Monday evening at the latest. Mr. Roginsky took the money, but, as his sight Is poor, he detected nothing wrong with the silver. It was discovered next day that it was counterfeit, and Max Roginsky, jr., wont to the woman's home, in Browntown, and demanded good money for it. The woman refused to take it back and said she got it from a boardor. who had moved to Scrantofi. Twice afterward an effort was made to have her take back the counterfeit coins, but she refused. Mr. Roginsky threatened to prosecute her, but did not do so for business reasons. "Those men have Instructions from their superior officer to make arrests of people who Insulted them. Assuming they made arrests In good faith, according to orders, they had a right to do so. government. Her peace, prosperity and independence are now menaced, for of all possible evils that ran befall Cuba the worst is the evil of anarchy, into which civil war and revolutionary disturbances will assurely throw her. " 'The audience being mystified, tho plaintiff, John Fay, makes an announcement that Mrs. Fay cannot bo seen privately, and can be corresponded with only upon the purchase of her book, which contains a coupon authorizing the purchaser to correspondj with her. It is also announced that the purchaser will receive a fac simile of an Egyptian coin worn by Mrs. Fay, known as the 'Fay mascot,' which Is supposed to bring good luck to the person who carries It.' "Everybody has a right to be on the street, but he must take into consideration the facts that when rioting or semi-military law exists he takes his life in his own hands. The helmet of Melkrantz shows a dent anfl brick dust, and the defendants had a right to protect their prisoner. "Whoever Is responsible for armed revolution and outrage, whoever Is responsible in any way for the condition of the affairs that now obtains, is an enemy of Cuba, and doubly heavy Is the responsibility of the man who, affecting to he the especial champion of Cuban independence, takes any step which will jeopardize that Independence, for there is Just one way In which Cuban Independence can be secured, and that la for the Cuban people to show their ability to continue in their path of peaceful and orderly progress. Killed by a 8neeze. All doubt that Mrs. Gonzarre was the woman who passed the bad money on Roginsky was removed by a statement of Max Roginsky, jr., that he had seen the woman taken to the Laurel Line station on her way to the Lackawanna county jail and that she was the one who had said she got the bad money from a boarder. The hearing in her case is set for 4 p. m. Tuosday and that of the men for 8:30 a. m. Wednesday. New York, Sept. 15.—Charles Pfeffer, a grocer, of West New York, N. J., when delivering goods fell dead as he was about to enter the gate leading to the home of one of Ills customers. He sneezed loudly and immediately sank to the ground. The cause of death was given ns cerebral hemorrhage, which, it is said, might have been caused by his sneezing. Yesterday Afternoon. "Judgo Wheaton testiiled yesterday afternoon in behalf of Mr. Palmer. .He said it appeared to him as if the : plan was to count Mr. Palmer out.. Mr. Palmer, Attorney Fell, N. B. Rutter rind County Chairman * Hefferon ■ were fthf.es who testi'fied. All stated that the convention was orderly until Dr. Lako refused to announce the report of tho tellers. R. M.

At tho, conclusion of the afternoon !CeasliDn most of the delegates wero allowed to go to their homes. nander "If these troopers after the throwing at them of bricks and stones deemed their lives in danger they had a right to fire. If the victim was in such a place that ho was struck and maimed he took tho risk that the law Cfoes not presume a person shall take on such occasions." President Palma has been granted by an extreme measure of congress the power to triple the force of rural guards, to double the force of artillery and the right to appropriate all public funds for the vigorous prosecution of the wgr. "As an Instance of tho Fays' methods, Lambourne tells that a man in the audience on one occasion produced a letter from ex-Judge Alton B. Parker and asked to have its contents described by Mrs. Fay. Mr. Fay, he says, went up to tho man, examined tho letter and made a copy of It which was transmitted to a person below the stage and telephoned to Mrs. Fay. Lambourne Includes a copy of the letter In his affidavit to show that It did really reach tho Fays. The Insurgents in Plnnr del Itlo province are moving eastward. The main )Dody of the Insurgents In Havana province are known to have moved neurer to Havana city. Handcar Goes Through Draw. In concluding, Judge Heydt says Toledo, O., Sept. 15.—At least seven and probably twelve men, supposed to be Italian railroad laborers, rode off the open draw of the Wheeling bridge on a handcar, and all are believed to have been drowned. The river hos been dragged, and the banks on both sides have been scoured. Two bodies have lDeen recovered. Their identity Is not known. Novelty stoves and ranges. Ash's. "If the jury finds that the defendants were in tho lawful performance of their duties as State policemen, and while conveying prisoners to the Ijehigh county prison the defendants were pursued by a large crowd of people at the time, that they were In danger of losing their lives or suffering great bodily harm and were unable to make their escape, then they were justified in defending themselves to the extent of using firearms; and if, while so defending themselves, a bullet accidentally struck a boy in the crowd they are excused", and the jury must find. tfte defendants not guilty." "This nation asks nothing of Cuba save that it shall continue to develop as It has developed during the past seven yonrs; that it shall know and practice the orderly liberty which will ussuredly liring an ever increasing measure of peace and prosperity to the beautiful queen of the Antilles. Our Intervention In Cuban affairs will only come if Cuba herself shows that she lias fallen into the Insurrectionary ha lilt, that she lacks tfie self restraint necessary to peaceful Relf government and tfiat her contending factions have plunged the country into anarchy. PUBLIC BURIAL CAUSES ARREST Maiiy rurnQrs are in circulation oi the disaffection of the police, and fears of attacks and uprisings have not wholly disappeared, though they have been lessened* by the presence here of the cruiser Denver and the knowledge that the United States is sending other warships to Cuban waters. "The affidavit further says that several persons, who bought Mrs. Fay's dream book, wrote letters to her asking questions of a personal and private nature. These questions were turned over to Lambourne-and other assistants, and they were required to make answer? ,0f a hature, all of the correspondence being subject to the ridicule of Mr. and Mrs. Fay. At the Instance of the board"' of health, two arrests, the first, that have over been made in Scranton for conducting a public funerat for a person dying of contagious disease, were made this morning. The warrants were served on Jonas Stepanaftckas, who claims that ho Is an undertaker and Anthony Tamancos, father of a :year old child which was burled from the family home on Sunday last, with public burial service. Stcpanauckas Is not a registered undertaker and his permits were secured through the firm of D. D. Jones and Son. The health officers claim that they had previously notified the man not to hold public services over the remains of this child. The fathor of the child lays all blame upou the undertaker and says he was ignorant that any wrong was being done. The hearing takes place this afCeruoon in police court. Much importance Is attached to the case, from the fact that whatever disposition is made of it it will establish a precedent for any that may follow. Personal registration in all cities of the third class is an imperative necescity. Those who do not register will be disfranchised in November. Everybody must register; there Is no exception to the rule, Next Tuesday is the last day but one for registering. Do not forget It If you wish to vote. Ethel Roosevelt Thrown From Buggy.

E CALL FAYS FAKES Assassin Was About to Kill Him Today. The Temple Iron Co. had to fight a small mine Are in lto Mt. Lookout colliery, In Wyoming. The officials announced today that the blaze was extinguished last evening, after several hours' hard work. The fire was found in the Marcy vein, close to the place where John P. Martin, the fire boss, was overcome yesterday. It was probably the fumes arising: from it that overcame him.

Testified Yesterday. Harrisburg, Sept. 16.—The hearing In the Congressional contest between Congressman Palmer and Dr. Coblcigh Harrlsburg has been an unceasing grind all day today. The only thing out of the ordinary Is the probability, amounting almost to a certainty, that the hearing will drag over until Monday. At the beginning of the a'ternoon session it seems Impossible that all the rebuttal testimony to be advanced by Dr. Cobleigh can be squeezed into the few hours remaining. The case will likely be concluded on Monday. •'Those who do not favor the existence of the constabulary must voice their convictions at the ballot box, not in disorder.

They testified he yelled 'scab' at them, a term of opprobrium among labor unions. Simple hooting or laughing is not a cause for arrest, but officers of the State police have decided that the yelling of the word 'scab' Is cause for arrest. They dislike the term and have Issued an order prohibiting the yelling of the word. As for myself, I think the ofTense of the man arrested was a trivial one. Probably If he had been brought before me for trial he would have oSten acquitted.

Commander Colwell replied that he was unable to Interfere and that President Falina was communicating with Washington In the matter. The emissaries stated that Zayas has telegraphed to the insurgent commander of every province to cease fighting because negotiations were pending for surrender to the American naval com- Thls afternoon is being given up to rebuttal testimony by Dr. Cobleigh's side. Nothing startling has been presented, and the hearing Is of a humdrum; nature. Mr. Palmer Is very hopeful of winning, judging that the court cannot help being impressed by the h'gh character of the witnesses who have testified in his behalf. This, he thinks, will have great weight with the court in~ its decision. The latest programme that can be gleaned is that the hearing of witnesses will bo closed, if possible, today, and that the closing arguments will be made on Monday. At this rate the caBe should bo In the hands of the judges by Monday evening at the latest. Mr. Roginsky took the money, but, as his sight Is poor, he detected nothing wrong with the silver. It was discovered next day that it was counterfeit, and Max Roginsky, jr., wont to the woman's home, in Browntown, and demanded good money for it. The woman refused to take it back and said she got it from a boardor. who had moved to Scrantofi. Twice afterward an effort was made to have her take back the counterfeit coins, but she refused. Mr. Roginsky threatened to prosecute her, but did not do so for business reasons. "Those men have Instructions from their superior officer to make arrests of people who Insulted them. Assuming they made arrests In good faith, according to orders, they had a right to do so. government. Her peace, prosperity and independence are now menaced, for of all possible evils that ran befall Cuba the worst is the evil of anarchy, into which civil war and revolutionary disturbances will assurely throw her. " 'The audience being mystified, tho plaintiff, John Fay, makes an announcement that Mrs. Fay cannot bo seen privately, and can be corresponded with only upon the purchase of her book, which contains a coupon authorizing the purchaser to correspondj with her. It is also announced that the purchaser will receive a fac simile of an Egyptian coin worn by Mrs. Fay, known as the 'Fay mascot,' which Is supposed to bring good luck to the person who carries It.' "Everybody has a right to be on the street, but he must take into consideration the facts that when rioting or semi-military law exists he takes his life in his own hands. The helmet of Melkrantz shows a dent anfl brick dust, and the defendants had a right to protect their prisoner. "Whoever Is responsible for armed revolution and outrage, whoever Is responsible in any way for the condition of the affairs that now obtains, is an enemy of Cuba, and doubly heavy Is the responsibility of the man who, affecting to he the especial champion of Cuban independence, takes any step which will jeopardize that Independence, for there is Just one way In which Cuban Independence can be secured, and that la for the Cuban people to show their ability to continue in their path of peaceful and orderly progress. Killed by a 8neeze. All doubt that Mrs. Gonzarre was the woman who passed the bad money on Roginsky was removed by a statement of Max Roginsky, jr., that he had seen the woman taken to the Laurel Line station on her way to the Lackawanna county jail and that she was the one who had said she got the bad money from a boarder. The hearing in her case is set for 4 p. m. Tuosday and that of the men for 8:30 a. m. Wednesday. New York, Sept. 15.—Charles Pfeffer, a grocer, of West New York, N.

President Palma has been granted by an extreme measure of congress the power to triple the force of rural guards, to double the force of artillery and the right to appropriate all public funds for the vigorous prosecution of the wgr. "As an Instance of tho Fays' methods, Lambourne tells that a man in the audience on one occasion produced a letter from ex-Judge Alton B. Parker and asked to have its contents described by Mrs. Fay. Mr. Fay, he says, went up to tho man, examined tho letter and made a copy of It which was transmitted to a person below the stage and telephoned to Mrs. Fay.

PUBLIC BURIAL CAUSES ARREST Maiiy rurnQrs are in circulation oi the disaffection of the police, and fears of attacks and uprisings have not wholly disappeared, though they have been lessened* by the presence here of the cruiser Denver and the knowledge that the United States is sending other warships to Cuban waters.

These questions were turned over to Lambourne-and other assistants, and they were required to make answer? ,0f a hature, all of the correspondence being subject to the ridicule of Mr. and Mrs. Fay. At the Instance of the board"' of health, two arrests, the first, that have over been made in Scranton for conducting a public funerat for a person dying of contagious disease, were made this morning. The warrants were served on Jonas Stepanaftckas, who claims that ho Is an undertaker and Anthony Tamancos, father of a :year old child which was burled from the family home on Sunday last, with public burial service. Stcpanauckas Is not a registered undertaker and his permits were secured through the firm of D. D. Jones and Son. The health officers claim that they had previously notified the man not to hold public services over the remains of this child. The fathor of the child lays all blame upou the undertaker and says he was ignorant that any wrong was being done. The hearing takes place this afCeruoon in police court. Much importance Is attached to the case, from the fact that whatever disposition is made of it it will establish a precedent for any that may follow.

At today's EA Showcase, which was streamed live courtesy of Gamespot and Livestream, Fernando Melo presented us with a first look at Dragon Age 2's upcoming story-based DLC entitled "Legacy." The presentation with gameplay footage, trailer, screencaps, screenshots, and important points are collected and summarized after the break.
The official Dragon Age 2: Legacy trailer was released simultaneously with the showcase, however it was not included in the presentation itself.
Targeted by a vicious criminal cartel that are hunting "the blood of the Hawke," you must put an end to their relentless attacks. Leave Kirkwall, and journey to an ancient Grey Warden prison in order to find the source of the aggression and uncover the harsh truth about the Hawke lineage. Playable from any point in the DAII campaign, face all new darkspawn, forge a powerful new weapon and come face to face with an ancient horror.
These are the official screenshots featured in the presentation and on the official Legacy DLC page.
The Dragon Age 2: Legacy presentation begins 45 minutes into the video, and the gameplay footage begins after 47:30. If you'd like, you can download the video at Gamespot.
Legacy is characterized as a "major story-based dlc."
There is no reuse of Kirkwall. We already know that the setting for this DLC is the Vimmark Mountains, based on the XBox achievements that were leaked.
There will be an ancient subterranean area that served as a Grey Warden prison.
new major boss that the Grey Wardens have kept secret for a millennium. Judging from the filename of the official screenshot of the boss, his name may be Corypheus (which means "leader" in Greek).
Creatures use their environments better, e.g. ambushes at choke holds, ranged enemies attempt to maintain distance.
In the demo, a Genlock Alpha was using a massive shield to negate frontal damage.
Your party returns. Judging from the composition of your party in the gameplay footage, you will be able to bring your regular party members from Dragon Age 2 on this new adventure. The demo featured Merrill, Varric, and Aveline accompanying Hawke.
Hawke will obtain a special weapon, which varies by class and preferred weapon style, that can be imbued with permanent bonuses of your choice. This weapon persists beyond the DLC, allowing you to use it in your main Dragon Age 2 game and all future story DLC.

OPEN CONTAINER LAWS AND ALCOHOL INVOLVED CRASHES: SOME PRELIMINARY DATA
This report presents the results of a study conducted for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to assess the highway safety effects of laws that prohibit open containers of alcoholic beverages to be located in the passenger compartment of motor vehicles operated on public roadways. These laws are commonly referred to as "Open Container Laws." The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st century (TEA-21), H.R. 2400, P.L. 105-178, was passed by the Senate and the House of representatives on 22 may 1998, signed into law on 9 June 1998, and amended by a technical corrections bill, entitled the TEA-21 Restoration Act, P.L. 105-206, on 22 July 1998. The TEA-21 Restoration Act established a program to encourage states to enact and enforce open container laws that conform to a Federal Standard. States without conforming Open Container laws are subject to a transfer of highway construction funds. Four states passed legislation in 1999 in response to the TEA-21 Restoration Act (Iowa, Maine, Rhode Island, and South Dakota). Analyses indicated that three of the four states appeared to decline in their proportions of alcohol-involved fatal crashes during the first six months after enforcement of the conforming laws; however, the declines were not statistically significant. In addition to the before and after analyses, crash data (from 1999) were compared among states that have had fully-conforming laws since the enactment of the TEA-21 Restoration Act on July 22, 1998; states that enacted fully-conforming laws as of October 1, 2000, the date on which the first transfer of funds took effect; states that had partially-conforming laws as of October 1, 2000; and, states that had no Open Container laws at all, as of October 1, 2000. This analysis showed that states without Open Container Laws experienced significantly greater proportions of alcohol-involved fatal crashes than states with partially-conforming or fully-conforming laws. Also, it was noted that survey data show support for Open Container laws by a substantial majority of the general public, even in states without such laws.

2 Girls Who Travel were in great company Saturday afternoon for the 2nd Annual Black Heritage Music and Arts Festival at Discovery Green in Houston. There was literally an entire day and evening full of entertainment, from vendors and food trucks to musical acts such as headliner Monica – you know, the Monica Brown.
Founded by Richard Andrews, the Black Heritage Festival promotes historical and cultural solidarity through speakers, exhibits and entertainers. Last year's inaugural crowd was 8,000. This year, even more attended.
2 Girls Who Travel were on hand for all the excitement!
We really love these color walls!
Houston City Council member Robert Gallegos presented all honorees with a certificate at the start of the show.

Defenzia "M09 Less Lethal Multipurpose"
Today at NEP we had the honor to talk with Defenzia and its Managing Member F. Leao Gitirana. Also joining in the meeting from Costa Mesa Police Association Detectives Monte Peters, D. Sevilla, Jake Jacobi. Leao Gitirana talk about his less lethal tool for law enforcement the Defenzia M09 which is already deployed in five countries. "We propose to enable law enforcement gradual and proportionate use of force, dramatically reducing cases where the use of lethal firearms are necessary. We believe that the concept of Less-Lethal force leads to respect for human rights and the preservation of life, while protecting the physical integrity of law enforcement staff and the civilian population." -Defenzia
The Defenzia M09 is for law enforcement use only although they do have a civilian model "The Defenzia M11". The M09 is effective at 90ft much shorter than the already non-lethal Taser that law enforcement uses. The M09 has a four shot capability that fires five different types of ammunition. It fires a .55 Caliber Rubber Bullet, Flashbang, Pepper gel, illumination/ Sky candle and a signal flare (250ft altitude, 300ft dome of light) that comes in red, yellow and green. The Electronic Firing Mechanism is non battery operated that never has to charge leaving the user worry free of it not functioning in the line of duty. Not to mention is has an integrated laser sight that turns on when you grab the handle of the M09 to aim down its sight. Always amazing to see people working to keep law enforcement safe and even better when a product has non-lethal force.

Musical Distortions
Posted on September 2, 2019 September 1, 2019 by Thomas Brett
distort – to pull or twist out of shape, change the form of;
from the Latin distorquere ('apart' + 'to twist)
Among the many interesting and unanticipated discoveries made while producing electronic music is hitting upon distortions that cause sounds to behave in unusual ways. The most common type of distortion is overdriving or saturating a signal so that it sounds gritty, textured, damaged, and less pristine that it once was. This, of course, is a timbre that has defined the macho, loudly-amplified guitar sound of rock music since the 1950s. But any sound can be distorted—either aggressively or by more subtle means, so that the timbre is either all but destroyed or evinces just a hint of damage on its edges.
I've been experimenting with distortions and saturations, both deliberately and accidentally, heavy-handedly and subtly, by processing sounds in my mixes in various ways with various plug-ins. Distortion's most interesting quality is how it makes audible parts of a sound that were inaudible without the effect. For instance, distortion can sound like a buzzing-humming timbre which in turn can grab nearby pitches and accentuate their (sympathetic) resonance along with the buzz-hum. Sometimes I put distortion on a sound just to hear what sonic invisibles it will foreground. This reminds me of something the producer Jon Hopkins says about how his production process involves digging for sounds within his sounds by boosting its noisy elements to hear what happens: "Boosting the bits that you think are just noise. Boosting the mistakes…I can pick out artifacts that aren't even supposed to be there. Boost them. And distort them again" (musicradar.com, 2019)
My general rule of thumb is if a distortion makes a sound more interesting to listen to, I leave it in. Over time, the distortions I've added to parts in a track accumulate and at that point the music takes an exponential jump in interestingness—as if it's becoming a more complex system. When there are 5 or 10 tracks whose sounds are distorted in some way, their cumulative effect can take the music in a direction I hadn't planned on. For one thing, the music gets louder and fuller (so I re-adjust levels here and there to tame distortion's exuberance). Also, the music's texture becomes thicker and more intricate, because now the multiple distortions are overlapping with one another to create composite distortion timbres. These composite timbres are like a new meta-track within my track—a track not there but there, a track full of inherent rhythms not played by any of the other tracks in isolation, a track whose timbral irregularities I can respond to and further shape. The musician (and voice-over expert) Dan Worrall, who narrates tutorials for FabFilter software, describes distortion as saturating a sound by adding irregular nonlinearities to its waveform. In one tutorial, he offers advice for the electronic music producer who wants to enrich the texture of a mix: "You need to add nonlinearities deliberately."

I speak now to the lonely wife, who gives loves but receives none. She would embrace her husband but he flees from her embraces. An unrequited love – going forth but returning empty.
The house has no love. Life is just an existence together. Two lives that pass in the night. Two streams that flow in separate river beds, never enjoying the fullness of a joining.
Can love be reawakened? Even your own love, because it has never been returned, has grown cold, even though still present. Let us try again. This time slowly and with great patience. Always await in hope. Always keep the door open. Treasure even the smallest coal of human warmth. When he needs you, be there for him. I will arrange the circumstances so that he sees that you have remained at his side, even though he has not always remained at your side. When the streams begin to join again, let his love flow freely. This will be a great sacrifice for you but there are too many years ahead for you to live mutually alone. The gift of reciprocal love does not return over night but it is a gift worth waiting for.
Do not seek the love of another man because his love would poison your heart. In loving your husband, you act like God who continually loves many who never return his love.

NEW DELHI, India, 5 September 2017 — Global technology leader Xiaomi today announced Mi A1 in collaboration with Google, the first device to run on the evolved Android One program.
Mi A1 runs on stock Android to offer a high-quality software experience designed by Google, underscoring Xiaomi's commitment to providing more choices for users. Priced from INR 14,999 in India, Mi A1 is a beautifully-designed device that combines hardware innovations, including an optical zoom dual camera setup, with great Google-designed software.
At a launch event in New Delhi, India, it was announced that Mi A1 would be available in India and also in more than 40 markets around the world including Indonesia, Vietnam, Russia, Poland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Ukraine, and Mexico. Local pricing in these markets will be available at a later date.
Xiaomi Senior Vice President Wang Xiang said: "Mi A1 is a strategic device in our global expansion, marking a milestone on our quest to bring innovation to everyone. From the beginning Xiaomi has been all about choice, and we are delighted to offer users a new way to experience the power of Xiaomi."
Wang noted that this is a logical extension of Xiaomi's long and fruitful partnership with Google. "Google has been a great partner, and given our strong collaboration, we thought their idea to launch a Xiaomi smartphone on Android One would be a great opportunity to give our users a different user experience. I'm truly excited about what this partnership will bring to our users across the world!"
"By taking this next step with Android One, we are excited to be working with partners around the world to bring high quality Android device experiences to more consumers," said Jamie Rosenberg, Google's VP of Business & Operations, Android & Google Play. "Mi A1 marries excellence in device design with a simple and pure Android experience, the best of Google built in, and a commitment to future software and security updates. We're thrilled to welcome Xiaomi and the Mi A1 to the Android One family."
Dual camera with optical zoom for more beautiful portrait shots
Mi A1 incorporates a dual camera configuration similar to that in Mi 6, Xiaomi's latest flagship device, with wide angle and telephoto lenses used to incredible effect.
The two lenses allow Mi A1 to calculate what is in the foreground and what is in the background, creating a depth-of-field effect that typically requires a DSLR lens to achieve, allowing the user to create photos of unparalleled clarity and color. In addition, an improved Beautify mode that makes selfies look more natural, now works with the both the front 5MP camera as well as the 12MP dual rear camera. Mi A1 supports 2x optical zoom, which makes photos of distant subjects remain clear, while 10x digital zoom is also supported.
Created by Xiaomi, powered by Google
Mi A1 is Xiaomi's first Android One phone, with a software experience designed by Google, offering users a simple, pure Android phone that stays fresh over time with OS upgrades.
As an Android One smartphone, Mi A1 comes with the most popular Google services built-in as default, such as free unlimited high quality storage from Google Photos.
Top-of-the-line specifications in a beautiful design
Available in Black, Gold and Rose Gold, Mi A1 has an attractive full-metal body design that measures just 7.3mm in thickness, with discreet separation lines for a seamless look and rounded edges for great hand feel. It also comes with a rear fingerprint sensor.
Featuring a 5.5-inch 2.5D curved glass screen featuring Corning® Gorilla® Glass protection, Mi A1 also boasts a 10v power amplifier for deeper lows and higher volumes, ensuring it provides an immersive media experience. A dedicated amplifier also provides support for high-impedance headphones (up to 600 ohms).
Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor based on the 14nm manufacturing process, as well as a 3080mAh battery, Mi A1 provides users with a smooth experience that lasts all day.
With 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage, Mi A1 will be available in India starting 12 September via Mi.com and Mi Home stores, as well as a number of other partner sites and retail channels.

Q: Windows Server 2008 IP block using built-in firewall issue So here's the situation:
I'd like to block one or more IP addresses using native firewall that comes with Windows Server 2008. I opened it, chosen to create a new rule under inbound rules. I choose as follows: custom rule, all programs, any protocol, put remote IP address, set to block it, give a name and save.
When I look at the list, or edit it, I can see that the protocol field has automatically changed to HOPOPT. Every time I set it to 'Any', it turns back to HOPOPT after save, again and again. Can anyone tell me why?
I just want to deny all possible services for some users that I host on my machine (including websites on IIS7), but I can't. Please help.
Best Regards,
Ventus

A: Almost sounds like you don't have permissions to edit the firewall rules.  Are you applying this to "domain","public" and "Home" networks?  You need to identify where windows thinks this traffic is coming from and block it based on its source.
I can't comment on why the interface refuses to let you save.  I do know that the list can get quite long when adding rules and I often wonder where my rule went and it ends up at the bottom of the list off the screen.
