Cheep News I was casually browsing the news, in hopes of finding something interesting and relevant to post here, when I came across this rather intriguing article. I instantly thought of posting it here because I also recently posted a tutorial on Incubating Chicken Eggs and thought it to be a relevant and useful tip. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Fearful, flighty chickens raised for eating can hurt themselves while trying to avoid human handlers. But there may be a simple way to hatch calmer chicks: Shine light on eggs for at least 12 hours a day. Researchers at the University of California, Davis bathed eggs daily in light for different time periods during their three-week incubation. When the chickens reached 3 to 6 weeks old, the scientists tested the birds’ fear responses. In one test, 120 chickens were randomly selected from the 1,006-bird sample and placed one by one in a box with a human “predator” sitting visibly nearby. The chickens incubated in light the longest — 12 hours — made an average of 179 distress calls in three minutes, compared with 211 from birds incubated in complete darkness, animal scientists Gregory Archer and Joy Mench report in January in Applied Animal Behaviour Science. Chickens exposed to lots of light as eggs “would sit in the closest part of the box to me and just chill out,” Archer says. The others spent their time trying to get away. How light has its effect is unclear. On commercial chicken farms, eggs typically sit in warm, dark incubation rooms. The researchers are now testing light's effects in large, commercial incubators. Using light exposure to raise less-fearful chickens could reduce broken bones during handling at processing plants, Archer says. It might also decrease harmful anxious behaviors, such as feather pecking of nearby chickens. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This is how "gentlechicks" are created such as I. So if you plan on hatching your own eggs, I recommend you do this if you wish to have calmer chickens.

Han Solo Finn Rey Leia Kylo Ren After the release of the last full-length trailer for The Force Awakens, the Star Wars marketing machine is in its final throes at the behest of director J.J. Abrams, who has confirmed no more teasers will arrive before the movie opens. Thankfully, a massive treat arrived online today in the shape of five new character posters. Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Leia (Carrie Fisher), and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) are the quintet given their own character-centric one-sheets. Each holds their signature weapon except for Leia, who according to StarWars.com "confidently peers through a data screen." Like the previous poster that dropped, they're stylish teasers as opposed to ripe spoiler-heavy pieces of artwork. Check 'em out above. One omission from this line-up adds further fuel to a fire started by Abrams himself a few weeks back. Galaxy golden boy Luke Skywalker has so far been absent in all marketing materials. This deliberate move is an attempt to keep spoilers at a minimum, which is, in itself a bit revealing about Skywalker's current situation. If he were the same Jedi we once knew, surely we'd have seen him by now? Find out when Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in the UK on December 17 and the US on December 18.

Will Turner is back for 2017's Dead Men Tell No Tales. Orlando Bloom's Will Turner character was nowhere to be seen in 2011's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, but it's now been confirmed that he'll return for the latest entry in the series. Disney announced today at D23 that Bloom will reprise his suave pirate character for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, which is due to hit theaters in 2017. Other returning actors include Johnny Depp (Captain Jack Sparrow), Geoffrey Rush (Barbossa), Kevin R. McNally (Gibbs), and Stephen Graham (Scrum). Dead Men Tell No Tales is the first new entry in the series in six years. The last time we saw Bloom as Turner in a Pirates movie, meanwhile, was back in 2007's At World's End.

In the end real life predominated ... Dear friends, mentor and compainons, after all I'd like to say thank You very much! For guiding and supporting me through my great time here. I've met only nice dudes, first of all the little family of NQ#3 (Fre*dom, Daniele, Foxboro, Jamesryan, D..X, Ecoban and so on), thanks a lot for the introduction in this great clan! Well, then some computer troubles cut all my connections to this server, that's why i focused on Jay#1 and i met polite killers and amazing mentors like blahq, DJ and menace. Thanks a lot, i'd like to call You my 'friends' now. Now i got to focus on my real life. In a few months i'm going to finish my school and start searching for some work, maybe an education in an hospital, to collect expierences for my big plan: medicine studies! However i have to collect lots of amazing results during my last months at my school to get a chance for attending a medicine studies. This is why i hope to get all of your sympathy if i have to leave the clan for an unknow period. In the end my top priority is my future, but i won't plan it without You! Hope to see you soon on battlefield. Faithfully, *Appel* Thanks for your attention and everything!

So, while I was playing GTA4 yesterday, driving on the sidewalk, running over hookers, a thought occured... Does Grand Theft Auto cause violence in the real world? Of course, I already have Intermittent Explosive Disorder, so there isn't much to make me more violent. But what do you guys think? I've been playing GTA for awhile and I don't think it's rubbed off on me any, I keep it all in the game. There is an article explaining how an 8 year old murdered his grandmother, and it's blamed on GTA: http://guardianlv.com/2013/09/grand-theft-auto-drives-8-year-old-to-murder-his-grandmother/ As well, a question for parents or people pretending to be parents. Would you let your kids play GTA / At would age would it be acceptable for them to play? ~Mr. Grimm, The Grimm Train -

Hey everyone! First, I'd like to say that this rule is in NO way involved with Fearless Assassins. So, I've been admin on a rust server for awhile and have implemented a very controversial rule, and I wanted you guys' opinions on it. The rule states that all members below the age of 13 are banned (until they turn 13). I hate kids, but that's not the reason for the rule. In the Steam Terms and Conditions (the conditions you all clicked 'yes' to without reading), it states that to have a Steam account, you must be 13 years or older. In my point of view, if you can't follow Steam's rules, you can't follow the server's rules. It's been argued about for awhile now, and it hasn't seemed to stop. Please leave a reply! ~Mr. Grimm, The Grimm Train UPDATE: I found out that it's not in the subscriber conditions, but it's rather in the "Create an Account" page at the bottom. https://store.steampowered.com/join/

Raise your hand if you have a celebrity crush. *raises hand* ...I noticed you didn't raise your hand. And I also noticed that you're a liar. Think about it! Celebrity crushes are so dumb, yet we all have them. Even if you have a girlfriend, even if you're married! For what it's worth, my celebrity crush might or might not be Chelsea Alden. (it is). She's an actress that plays in The Online Gamer, my favorite YouTube web series. And may I just add... she looks like she fell from the sexy tree and hit every branch on the way down. So, uh... Yeah! Feel free to reply to your celebrity crush... because we already know that you have one. ~Mr. Grimm, The Grimm Train

Hey everyone! One of the first things people notice about me is that I'm a huge Rage Against The Machine fan. A fan of rap metal in general, but RATM specifically because of their stellar vocalist: Zack de la Rocha, and legendary guitarist: Tom Morello. Favorite band of all time, but I must ask. Are there any Rage Against The Machine fans other than me in the group? ~Mr. Grimm, The Grimm Train
