Poznaliśmy datę premiery BlazBlue w Europie. To oczekiwane przez wielu wydarzenie będzie miało miejsce 1 lutego 2010 roku. Niestety, mimo usunięcia podtytułu Calamity Trigger, gra ta będzie tą samą, którą od kilku miesięcy cieszą się posiadacze konsol w USA i Azji. Mimo tego, że BlazBlue: Continuum Shift już w najbliższy piątek trafi do salonów automatowych w KKW, europejczycy – podobnie jak reszta osób grających na konsolach – będą musieli poczekać na zmodyfikowaną wersję “duchowego następcy” Guilty Geara.

New information about the State Police trooper recall was revealed Thursday in Lansing.

Wednesday night, the governor put an indefinite hold on 55 laid-off troopers coming back to work.

Thursday, lawmakers in Lansing said the police officers will report to duty.

Republication Rep. Ken Horn said thanks to public and media pressure, it appears the governor has changed her mind to allow the troopers to return to work sometime next week.

The governor’s office and State Police say the troopers’ return will be Nov. 16. That’s a week from Monday.

On Wednesday, Gov. Jennifer Granholm released a statement that said the budget office needs to review the State Police budget before the officers can report to duty.

Even though she signed legislation last week which included the re-hire of 55 laid off state troopers.

On Monday, state employees got the call from Human Resources to return Monday; 24 hours later, they were told to stay home.

The laid-off troopers say they are anxious to return to work and serve the community.

Troopers Association Vice President Chris Luty spoke about the situation Wednesday night.

A dozen Mid-Michigan troopers are apart of the 55 who were laid off this summer.

This will now bring the state wide trooper levels to 1,000.

Komedia policji, czy może komenda pomyłki? Ciężko powiedzieć…

Przeszło rok temu, w lutym 2008 roku, do drzwi Piotra D. zapukała niespodzianka w postaci antyterrorystów. Pukanie to zresztą eufemizm, notatka prasowa wspomina o waleniu w drzwi. Piotr D., w bokserkach i podkoszulku, podszedł do drzwi i je otworzył. Była godzina szósta rano.

Below are some examples of homebuilt submachine guns utilizing standard square section and round tubing. The urgent and crude look of these weapons lend themselves quite fittingly to a post apocalyptic anarchic underworld setting, would they not?. Information indicates that these were retrieved by police while investigating loyalist paramilitary groups in Northan Ireland.

The submachine gun shown in this UVF training session video seems to be identical to the square section type.

The following information is from an old newsgroup post dated 28 Feb 1999. It seems that this dexterous bunch of gunsmiths were stamping serial numbers onto their works.

#I was watching a documentary on the IRA the other day, and it showed a meeting
#of one of the other paramilitary groups being taught how to shoot what looked
#like a home-made SMG. Can anyone verify or deny this? Are there any web
#resources/books discussing how the terrorist groups made some of their guns?

If you are talking about the piece of footage I saw recently, it was old
footage (70s or 80s era) showing a training session of the UFF which is
a Loyalist paramilitary group. The UFF is a flag of convenience for the
UDA: the UFF did lots of nasty things during the troubles, but the UDA
could say it wasn’t involved.

The SMG in question is known as the ‘Avenger’. This is a blow-back
operated SMG, firing from an open bolt, and chambered for 9mmP. Made
from box section mild steel, it is full auto only. It is smooth bored
and generally doesn’t come with any form of sight, although I’ve seen
the carrying handle/rear sight of an SA-80 fitted to one, and rifled
spare barrels from Sterling SMGs used on them as well.

They were being manufactured up until relatively recently (i.e. until
about 1996-7). I examined a seizure of more than 40 of them form the
workshop where they were being manufactured – in the garage to a
dwelling house right under the noses of the RUC. I don’t know how many
have been made over the years, but in the batch I examined were SMGs
serial numbered 306 and 307.

#Are you serious ?

Yes. Deadly serious, especially seeing as some of the guns I saw in
that collection had killed people.

#Why would the IRA put serial numbers on guns they
#were manufacturing illegaly ? I can’t see the point…

Firstly, they were NOT guns made by the IRA, but by the Loyalists.

Why put serial numbers on them? I don’t know, I never asked why.
Maybe because the design and specifications changed over the years, and
the armourer would know that a ‘200′ series gun was one spec whereas a
‘300′ series gun used a different spec. Maybe they were numbered to
help the quartermasters keep track of their stock.

Your guess is as good as mine.

Ostatnio, w połowie lutego pojechaliśmy do sąsiedniego województwa kujawsko -pomorskiego, konkretnie do Inowrocławia.

Wyjazd niestety zdecydowanie nie-rowerowy

Profilaktycznie zabrałam aparat, gdyż mieliśmy możliwość choć w małym stopniu obejrzeć sobie mały kawałek Kujaw.

Od razu rzuciły nam się w oczy wszechobecne wiatraki,a raczej ‘turbiny wiatrowe’

Naprawdę dużo ich w okolicach Inowrocławia:

Może nie wygląda, ale było baaaardzo zimno:

Wreszcie dojechaliśmy do Kruszwicy i odnaleźliśmy Mysią Wieżę; prezntowała się dumnie:

Jak wszyscy wiedzą, z tym miejscem wiąże się legenda o królu Popielu, którego zjadły myszy

Było jednak za zimno i myszy chyba się poukrywały -żadnej nie udało nam się wypatrzeć

Zejście nad jezioro Gopło, w sezonie można popływać po nim gondolą:

A to chyba król Popiel

Niestety okazało się, że wieża tego dnia jest zamknięta, jednak mimo to dało się na nią wejść i zobaczyć panoramę jeziora Gopło.

Przed nami kilka kroków po zakręconych schodach…:

…i już możemy zobaczyć, co stamtąd widać:

Białe, zaśnieżone połacie, to zamarznięta tafla ww. jeziora Gopło; latem ta panorama musi wyglądać cudownie

Na ‘balkoniku’

I na tym zakończyliśmy wizytę w Kruszwicy, może wrócimy tu jeszcze latem, rowerami… kto wie?

Dalej pojechaliśmy już do docelowego Inowrocławia, m.in. zobaczyliśmy słynne Solanki:

Prawie jak w Sopocie:

Na tym zakończyliśmy naszą wycieczkę.
