WEDU Premiere Screening: Too Close To Home, Human Trafficking in Tampa Bay
WEDU Public Media
Thursday, September 12, 2013 from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM (EDT)
Tampa, FL
Who's Going
Event Details
Get a sneak peek at the first public screening of Too Close to Home, a WEDU documentary on human trafficking in Tampa Bay, premiering at the Tampa Theatre on September 12. Meet human trafficking survivors, law enforcement, service providers, and other community groups immediately following the screening.
About the documentary:
Behind our world-famous beaches, tourist attractions and sunny suburbs lies an alarming secret: Tampa Bay is a hotbed for human trafficking. Men, women and children are forced against their will to serve in the sex trade, domestic servitude and agricultural industries. They are bought, sold and discarded in our own community, making Florida the third-highest ranked state in the nation for this fast-growing crime. Join us for an in-depth look at this crisis with Too Close To Home, a WEDU documentary on human trafficking in Tampa Bay. Local law enforcement, service providers and citizens are creating a grass roots movement to help combat this form of modern-day slavery.

What's the Idea with the title?
I know your maps so far have been (Tribal War - Florida) and (Tribal War - Ancient Israel).
And there's already a map called (Three Kingdoms of Korea) by [Industrial Helix and Natty Dread].
Are you going to make a series of this?
The current name conflicts with (Three Kingdoms of Korea) so perhaps you'd call it (Three Kingdoms of China).

Was this era too early for the great wall of china? I believe it was around this period that they started it.
I thought it would be a neat idea to use as an impassible.
The mountains you have fit and looked nice on your last map. It would would be nice to see the mountains
a little more pronounced on this map with it being china.

A lot of the territory borders are really hard to see, especially the in the red region.
I like the pattern in the water but is doesn't seem right for some reason. Could be me as usual.
I like the idea of this map, good work.
I'll check more later.

Jelavic set for return from injury
Striker Nikica Jelavic has recovered from a shin injury and returns to the squad for Tuesday night's Capital One Cup tie against Leeds at Elland Road.
Defender Tony Hibbert (calf) and Darron Gibson (thigh) are still absent, although the former is expected to have recovered in time for the weekend's visit of Southampton.
Manager David Moyes is expected to make a couple of changes but he plans to put out a strong side and defender Sylvain Distin could return having been rested at the weekend.
Leeds skipper Lee Peltier is a major doubt. The defender Peltier was forced out of the weekend win over Nottingham Forest with an ankle injury and is not expected to be risked by manager Neil Warnock.
Warnock will also make a late decision on striker Luciano Becchio, who fired his seventh goal in eight appearances this season against Forest despite carrying an ankle injury.
Teenager Dominic Poleon scored on his full debut for the club against Forest and will be hoping to resume his partnership up front with Becchio, although Andy Gray provides Warnock with an alternative option.
Forward Ross McCormack (ankle), plus midfield pair David Norris (thigh) and Paul Green (knee) remain sidelined, but defender Adam Drury returned at the weekend after a muscle strain and is likely to continue at right-back.

Pirates thought that having women on board their ship was bad luck. It's why pirate femmes like Mary Read initially lived a life of piracy as men!
Most pirates stole their ships because they couldn't afford them. Once they'd capture a ship, they'd convert it for pirate life by making more room for sailor living quarters and strengthening the decks to hold heavy cannons.
The difference between a pirate and a privateer is that privateers are sanctioned by respective governments and they don't attack ships from their own country. Pirates harass anyone passing by.
A galleon ship was armed to the teeth. It typically carried 74 guns, 36 of which were mounted on either side of the ship. The two guns were mounted aft.

Framed by the tree-spotted foothills of Vermont, Rocky Ridge Golf Club's 18-hole course unfurls across a verdant expanse of rolling farmland. Throughout the course, elevated fairways and greens offer breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding mountains, as well as a safe lookout from which golfers can detect rival armies of croquet players. Flower beds and rocky outcrops along short-grass corridors further accent the layout's bucolic environs. Clubbers looking for lessons can seek out golf pro Ed Coleman, who roams the grounds in a zen state attained through 20 years of coaching experience and aromatherapy that uses the odor of freshly mowed fairways. Cozy, green-side seating and tables nestled in shaded porches await golfers for post-round relaxing at the clubhouse restaurant.
The resort at Pico Mountain has come a long way since it opened on Thanksgiving morning in 1937. It was a blustery day, and skiers held tight to a 1,200-foot towrope powered by a Hudson motorcar engine as they rose up the mountainside and tried to get reception on their rotary-dial phones. Today, the mountain is striped with 52 trails and seven lifts, including two high-speed detachable quads. Gentle learning terrain beckons newbies, smooth cruisers give intermediate skiers an easy ride, classically narrow New England steeps entice beginning and intermediate skiers, and a double-black-diamond trail challenges advanced athletes. Snowboarders and freestyle skiers interested in tricks can use the jumps, boxes, and rails in the Triple Slope terrain park, and the Snow Sports School sharpens the skills of first-timers and seasoned pros alike.
Although the resort has advanced in size and technology, it maintains a personalized, small-mountain charm. The trails all converge at one convenient central base area whose lodge boasts a sports center with a heated pool and a sauna. Guests can grab a beer and a burger or slice of pizza beside the crackling stone fireplace at the Last Run Lounge before retiring to their hotel room or condo.
Sculpted through scenic mountainside terrain, Green Mountain National Golf Course spans 6,589 yards of arching fairways and multi-tiered greens. Engulfed by dense tree lines and rising mountain faces, the course's narrow fairways call for a cautious approach, and those boldly teeing off with a driver or 17th-century musket may end up hacking their second shot out of the woodsy rough. As golfers traverse the course, elevated tees, greens, and cresting fairways give way to panoramic views, letting golfers glimpse the contoured terrain and drink in ancient rock formations shaped by glaciers and the species of colossal paleontologists that ruled the continent prior to their extinction. A full-length driving range, short game practice area, and putting green fine tune players' club-wielding prowess, and a fully stocked pro shop offers up equipment and gear to help guests loop the links in style.
Course at a Glance:
Mount Sunapee, hosting snow bunnies for more than 60 years, sprawls before gliding greenhorns as professional instructors lead ski or snowboard newbies toward downhill proficiency with a full schedule of daily lessons. During two-hour beginners' sessions, students strap into provided gear, including skis or specially designed learning boards that are easier to handle than traditional snowboards made of live, rabid huskies. Groups then trudge out to the slopes, where instructors demonstrate introductory techniques and help snow-pounding protégés cultivate a well-balanced understanding of the fundamentals of their chosen downhill medium.
For more than four decades, the starters at Cedar Glen Golf Course have sent groups of golfers over the threshold of the first tee and bid them adieu as they embark upon rounds of golf. The 18-hole course blends touches of both links-style layouts and parkland settings, featuring numerous tree-lined fairways as well as plenty of open, rolling landscape. Rather than forcing golfers to make practice swings by hitting acorns into a pile for lazy squirrels, the course features a driving range and putting green to help with ironing out pre-round kinks.

DEISA Extreme Computing Initiative awards 2008
Oct. 31 -- Europe's HPC infrastructure DEISA has announced that 45 projects were awarded a total of about 30 million hours of computing time on Europe's most powerful supercomputers as part of the DEISA Extreme Computing Initiative.
The DEISA (Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing Applications) EU funded Research Infrastructure is constituted of a number of leading national supercomputers in Europe interconnected with a high bandwidth10 Gb/s point to point network provided by GEANT and the National Research Networks. Selected middleware allows the deployment and operation of a number of services enabling high performance distributed computing.
DEISA launched the DEISA Extreme Computing Initiative (DECI) in early 2005. "DECI was created and supported as the right instrument to enhance DEISA's impact on Europe's competitiveness in science and technology", explains Victor Alessandrini from CNRS-IDRIS, coordinator of DEISA.
The DECI consists of the identification, enabling, deploying and operation of "flagship" applications in selected areas of science and technology. These leading, ground breaking applications must deal with complex, demanding, innovative simulations that would not be possible without the DEISA infrastructure, and which would benefit from the exceptional resources of the Consortium. Projects supported by DECI are chosen on the basis of innovation potential, scientific excellence and relevance criteria. Multi-national proposals are especially encouraged.
A European Call for Extreme Computing Proposals, published annually in spring, has lead to an overwhelming response in 2007. After receiving around 40 to 50 proposals in 2005 and 2006, respectively, over 60 proposals from the 2007 call were competing for DEISA resources, asking for more than 70 million computing hours.
From the 2005 and 2006 DECI calls over 50 projects have already benefited from the DECI. As one of the highlights, results of the DECI project POLYRES from a German/British group with Principal Investigator Kurt Kremer were published as the cover story of NATURE (May 24, 2007): For almost two decades, physicists have been on the track of membrane mediated interactions. Simulations in DEISA have now revealed that curvy membranes make proteins attractive.
From the DECI call 2007, 45 projects have now been retained for operation in DEISA in 2008, with a total award of around 30 million processor-core hours. An allocation of 1 million processor-core hours could in principal be spent by using 16 processor-cores for about 62,000 hours (or 7 years), or by using 1024 processor-cores for about 1000 hours (or 40 days). Since DECI is dedicated to capability computing, using large fractions of a big supercomputer (or several supercomputers) simultaneously was mandatory, and only such capability computing projects were considered for execution in DEISA.
The Applications Task Force, a European team of HPC experts led by Hermann Lederer from RZG, supports the enabling of the applications in the projects to be used within the heterogeneous DEISA infrastructure and also helps to select the most suitable architecture for each project, depending on its specific requirements. In this way, DEISA is also opening up the respective most powerful HPC architectures available in Europe for the most challenging projects, mitigating the rapid performance decay of a single national supercomputer within its short lifetime cycle of typically about 5 years, as implied by Moore's law.
The 45 projects retained for operation in 2008 cover major areas of science including Materials Science (12 projects), Astro Sciences (8 projects), Engineering (8 projects), Life Sciences (8 projects), Earth Sciences (4 projects), Plasma Physics (3 projects), and Informatics (2 projects). The projects to be supported involve scientists from 14 different European countries and collaborators from three more continents. For the first time as many non-DEISA European countries (the seven countries Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, and Ukraine) have been involved as there are countries with DEISA site(s) (the seven countries Finland, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain, and UK). From outside Europe, scientists from Canada, US, Brazil, Chile and Israel collaborate. This huge continental demand for capability computing resources in Europe also clearly documents the need for a persistent European HPC ecosystem.

A Must-Eat! – It was my mom's birthday and we didn't know what to order here at Lalita's. The owners recommended us their FINE lambchops with noodles, grilled rib-eyed steak with steamed vegetables, and grilled basil salmon with steamed vegetables. They were perfect to the taste. The absolute best, which is why im going to hold my birthday party there. Their appetizers? like you just tasted heaven with sweet& sour sauce. angel wings, fish cakes& crispy shrimp rolls. Their atmosphere and environment suits well for basically any event. It's definitely one of the best Thai restaurants out there which is why everyone who visits San Francisco or just simply lives here should go!
Great Hapy Hour!!! – Lalita not only has great entree's like Basil Chicken Fried Rice, but the drinks and appetizers are awesome. I suggest going during Happy Hour on weekdays from 3-6 p.m. I've been a few times over the past few weeks and have been served by the same bartender who was absolutely delightful. The appetizers and drinks are amazingly priced during this time and I reccomend the chicken satay and shrimp rolls. The atmosphere is very chic as well and I would reccomend this place to anyone.
basil chicken wings are the best – My friend and I got off work late one night, and I was so grateful that she knew of such a good thai restaurant that was still open at 9PM (only con is that it is in the civic center area which gets seedy after dark). The basil chicken wings were very tasty with the fried basil melting in your mouth. I also liked the spicy basil rice noodles. The restaurant also has a quirky tropical decor; they call themselves a "thai noodle house and island bar."
I went back with another friend a second time before visiting the Asian Art Museum and sat in the tatami. However, although we were only one of two tables (it was only 5PM), our food took a while. We ordered the same dishes plus fried banana and ice cream.
Great Thai cooked to order!!! – So thrilled with Lalita's! A spacious, nicely decorated restaurant, we were promptly seated and greeted with a cucumber soup!!! Get the lunch special...spring rolls and fried yams as well as an entree for $7.95! On top of that, it was delicious!!!
Editorial Review – Sweeping Thai bar and restaurant attracts Civic Center crowd with generous lunch specials and exotic after-work drinks.
Absolutely wonderful! – I love this place. The food is delicious, the ambiance is relaxing and chill, service is excellent and the price is definitely affordable. Can't say enough good things about this place. My friend and I come here about once a week. Lunchtime is never that busy and you are seated promptly. Also, between the two of us, we only pay about $10 each. Thats is definitely something if you're eating in San Francisco, where nothing is less than $20 bucks per person.
My fav restaurant in the ENTIRE city! – I'm so fortunate my boyfriend attends law school at Hastings or I would've never discovered this wonderful restuarant. Get the pre fixe its only $20 for app, salad/soup, entre, and amazing desert. Reccomendations: Appetizers Thai beef jerky (do not miss this), Crab puffs, fabulous Chicken satay, bay shrimp salad. For entres: beef stir fry ask them to make it extra spicy, curry dishes are also very good. Desert: fried banana with mango ice cream, or coconut ice cream its to die for! Lalita herself introduced us to her signature drink: Wild Orchid, which tastes as wonderful as it sounds. The amazing food, the exotic ambiance complete with a beautiful mural of Thailand and a small pond, and the excellent service make this my favorite restaurant in the city! Oh and almost forgot ask for sticky rice (different from steamed rice) takes them four hours to make and its awesome!
Lalita's, My Favorite – Lalita's is my favorite San Francisco restaurant. PERIOD ! When I visit S.F. my first meal is always at Lalita's. I have introduced many friends to Lalitas dinning experience and have never been disappointed. Their cuisine the "Bench Mark" of Thai food.
Good Appetizers – Me and my roommate went there for dinner once. The appetizers were excellent. The main course was just ok. Nice place to sit and a decent bar. Much better than usual ambience we associate with any asian restaurant.
Lalita is HOT, HOT, HOT!!! – Don't miss the Rack of Lamb! Out of this world! The bar scene is a great place to grab a quick bite or to hang out an meet new and interesting people. Try everything on the appetizer menu, especially the crab puffs (to die for!).

Close Combat is a real time strategy game that first debuted in 1996. As the commander you control a platoon sized fighting force consisting mainly of types of infantry and and support weapons such as tanks, mortars and anti tank guns. Each of your units has a certain amount of ammunition which they may run out of in close quarter fighting, they will be killed or wounded if hit once, and may experience cowardice, extreme bravery or go fanatical during intense fighting. Morale of your men is the single most driving factor that determines who will survive, and what battles will be won or lost. You can follow your men through campaigns as the progress in rank and experience. Grand campaigns are also available where you take command of up 32 battle groups and deploy them throughout Normandy, Russia, Ardennes and many other pivotal battles. Fight over beaches, mountains, forests and many other geographical features, many historical.
There were hundreds of mods created for most versions. All of these mods are available for download. They have created the ultimate real time gaming experience by expanding Close Combat to virtually every theatre of war during World War II.The original Close Combat games are not sold in stores anymore. You can find them for sale online at places such as EBay or Amazon. Used or new copies are still being sold, even boxed originals. Matrix Games has made the game more available by remaking the originals and selling them online.
As the Allies in Close Combat Last Stand Arnhem, you will carry out the world's largest airborne operation, Operation Market Garden, to cross the Rhine and bring a swift end to the war or, as the Germans, use a hastily organized set of defense forces to prevent the Allies from reaching their ultimate goal, Arnhem Bridge. Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem comes with expanded force pools, reserve & static battlegroups, a troop point buying system, ferry and assault crossings, destructible bridges, static forces and much more! Also included in this rebuild are 60+ battles, operations and campaigns including a new enhanced Grand Campaign!
Last Stand Arnhem is available for purchase at Matrix Games for $39.99 USD.
Close Combat the Longest Day commences with the first Airborne drops of Operation Overlord. The Longest Day is a remake of the original, Invasion Normandy. The Grand Campaign included has been expanded to all beaches on D-Day, whereas the original only covered American beaches. New maps, battles, units and sounds have also been created for this version. Some maps from the Invasion Normandy mods Gold Juno Sword and Bloody Omaha were added. The main new features include night fighting, which reduces visibility and adds the option to deploy mortar illumination. Graphical enhancements to the battle debrief screens now show cohesion and percentage of victory locations held by each side, this is also shown in the campaign debrief screen. The original version of Invasion Normandy has been included with the Longest Day.
The Longest day is available for purchase at Matrix Games for $39.99 USD.
Close Combat Wacht Am Rhein begins the morning of Germany's last great offensive. Wacht Am Rhein is a remake of the original version, Battle of the Bulge. Many of the great features of the original have been included here. Supply drops, misguided American battlegroups and the difficult terrain of the Ardennes. The Germans are very heavy with armoured groups which are equipped with Panthers, other heavy battle groups are equipped mainly with fighting vehicles. Specific german battle groups also have the option to reinforce, a feature not seen in the original or Invasion Normandy. The Grand Campaign has been expanded to 64 maps, and more battle groups have been added to each side.
Wacht Am Rhein is available for purchase at Matrix Games for $39.99 USD.
Close Combat Cross of Iron recreates the battle for Russia which began in 1942. Cross of Iron is the remake of The Russian Front. The main improvements to this version were to make it more compatible with new operating systems, smaller improvements were also made to the artificial intelligence. CoI offer a linear type campaign system, as you win or lose battles the computer will decide where to send you for your next battle. You can follow your men from 1942 to 1945 while improving their equipment along the way. The greatest improvement was in inclusion of MMCC3 which stands for Massive Multiplayer online Close Combat 3. With MMCC3 you can connect Cross of Iron to a variety of game servers and battle online against the AI or a human opponent for control of the Russian Front. these online campaigns last 24/7, you may take part in the action any time you wish.
Cross of Iron is available for purchase at Matrix Games for $39.99 USD.
Close Combat Modern Tactics is the first of the Close Combat series to introduce 5 vs 5 head to head action. You can play as either US Forces of the fictional Opposing Force (OpFor). There is no campaign, only single battle engagement. These engagement can be on training grounds modeled from actual U.S. bases or fictional Middle East areas. Weapons of OpFor are typically Soviet and Chinese such as AK47 assault rifles and RPGs. you also have all sorts of jeeps and trucks they ride in. American have their choice of most modern weapons which range from the M1A1 Abrams, Squad Automatic Weapons and grenade launchers. Other improvements include the ability for your troops to dig a trench while in combat, load and unload onto troop carrying vehicles and have multiple support missions during a battle. Weapons in Modern Tactics are extremely powerful and you have to make a large shift in your tactics if you are used to playing the versions set in World War 2.
Modern Tactics is available for purchase at Matrix Games for $29.99 USD.
Close Combat 5 Invasion Normandy drops you onto the beaches and hedgerows of Normandy. Your Airborne troops have landed behind the beaches while your main attacking force just butted heads with the German bunkers towering over them on the beaches. One of the main shifts from Battle of the Bulge to Invasion Normandy is the reliance on infantry once again and the ability to customize the platoon you enter battle with. Many of your battle groups do not contain massive numbers of tanks. Fighting and defending the cities and hedgerows with infantry through the hedgerows bring an immense satisfaction to any war gamer enthusiast.
You can get lucky and still find this version in stores, its unlikely in most cases though as it was released in 2000. You can find used copies and duplicates at Ebay or Amazon.com
Close Combat 4 Battle of the Bulge recreates the German Offensive in the Ardennes named Wacht Am Rhein. The campaign starts as the heavy German battle groups pour over into American sectors overrunning many of them. Fighting as the Americans in the beginning days you have little to stop thier advance. A shortage of bazooka teams, 57mm and heavier anti tank guns will plaque you at the onset. As the Germans you must be meticulous in your battles, your men and machines must survive to the end of the 25 day campaign. Supply drops will be made available for surrounded American battle groups and the German may decieve American battle groups into moving places they dont wish to go.
Close Combat 4 Battle of the Bulge was released in 1999 and is not available at retail stores anymore. You can find used copies and duplicates at Ebay or Amazon.com.
Close Combat 3 The Russian Front takes you to the unforgiving Eastern Front. beginning in the early 1940's you command a small group of German soldiers during the initial attack into Russia. As you progress in rank by winning battles you can enjoy choosing more equipment and men to fight with with. As time progresses through your campaigns, equipment will be upgraded and new equipment will become available. You can rest or refit your units as they get fatigued or take losses in battles. Alternatively you can drive off the Germam attackers with heavy Joseph Stalin tanks.
Close Combat 3 The Russian Front was released in 1998 and is not available at retail stores anymore. You can find used copies and duplicates at Ebay or Amazon.com.
Close Combat 2 A Bridge Too Far focuses on the Airborne drops into Holland during Operation Market Garden. You can play as the Americans, British, Polish or Germans. The battles are heavily dependant on your skills an as infantry platoon commander, there are not near as many vehicles in A Bridge Too Far as there are in later versions. You can play battles, operations and campaigns. Some of the battles include those that took place at Oosterbeek and Arnhem. The fight takes place on very small maps which leads to very intense close quarter fighting, watch your ammo count! The artificial intelligence of A Bridge Too Far is arguably the best in the series to date.
Close Combat 2 A Bridge Too Far was released in 1997 and is not available at retail stores anymore. You can find used copies and duplicates at Ebay or Amazon.com.
The game that spawned a new era of realistic tactical real time strategy. The very first version of Close Combat, released in 1996 by Atomic Games. The original versions puts you back into Normandy, right into the hedgerows and small towns. Close Combat 1 introduced the psychcological factors of your soldier for you to manage. You troops could gain experience, leadership or turn into cowards. If your soliders were wounded all thier characteristics would suffer.
You can find used copies and duplicates at Ebay or Amazon.com.
Matrix Games has published the product info page for Gateway to Caen. There's a few new features and a carry over and many familiar ones brought in after Invasion Normandy. Two of the biggest new features are camouflaging and rolling barrages. In the GWTC Screenshot Gallery you can see a tank being given the camouflage command. There's no clear information now on what exactly that does, or how long a tank or anti tank gun takes to do it. You can also see a rolling barrage being set up in the screenshots. The arty icon has "prep" printed across it and the mini map has a large red section possibly where the barrage will hit. The games interface and multiplayer functions will be the same as Panthers in the Fog. Mount and dismount troops and guns are present as well, and hopefully fixed. There is no release date yet, the game is still in development.
Drizzt has completed porting the Kharkov mod from Invasion Normandy to The Longest Day. Kharkov is a complete overhaul to TLD and brings you to the Eastern front during the Russian spring offensive in 1942. You can play as the Russians or Germans using many of the time periods armour and infantry teams. Drizzt has included a very detailed readme doc listing many of the changes and some issues. There are also documents explaining the medals and the battle and operations included, as well as a graphical depiction of the front lines in 1942, to see these browse the /Close Combat The Longest Day/Kharkov/Extras/ folder. The mod is an auto installer, simply run the EXE file and an icon will be placed on your desktop. Download TLD_Kharkov_v2.2_installer.zip.
The Battle for Caen mod now has an auto installer. If you are not familiar with this mod, its basically Gold Juno Sword modded onto The Longest Day. The auto installer simply places an icon on your desktop, no modifications are made to your original install as plugin would do, you can play TLD normally with BfC installed. Battle for Caen is as close to playing Close Combat 5 you will get with all the bug fixes included. You can read about Battle for Caen in this After Action Report. Download TLD_BattleforCaen_v0.93_installer.zip.
There is a public Meuse 1940 Grand Campaign ongoing. Anyone can join. We are currently on day and the main line of French defence has been broken. We are fighting as German vs the AI. Theres four of us playing currently but everyone is welcome to join. Its all in fun as we know we can beat the AI.

Are you interested in having a four player (or more) game of Close Combat Modern Tactics? If you have CCM or CCMT and are interested please sign up here in the forums. We'd like to get as many playing as possible and record the game for Youtube.
Matrix Games have released patch v3.61 for Cross of Iron. This patch adds another game menu with a note beside the MMCC3 button stating for Windows XP only. The MMCC3 files will not be removed from your installation, the old command center game menu will stay as well. You can still playing MMCC3 single player if you can get it to run. The MMCC3 servers were shut down long ago as Microsoft Java Virtual Machine, which MMCC3 is based on, is no longer supported by Microsoft and not compatible with any of its modern operating systems. The patch also fixes a bug where your anti tanks guns will constantly traverse and not engage targets. Download COI_Patch_v3.61.zip.
Caruso has released a small vetmod for Invasion Normandy's Gold Juno Sword mod. This GJS vetmod is meant to be played as Germans vs Allied AI. The goal was to combine some of the Salhexe's improvements to the EXE, weapons, SAI, and other values, into something even more challenging for the human player. The mod in a plugin, unzip the PLN file to your /Config Manager/Plugins folder, ensure GJS4.4 is installed prior. Download CC5_GJS4.4_VetmodPlus1.0_plugin.zip.
Gameranger is still trucking along. It remains the primary meeting point for all versions of Close Combat except Panthers in the Fog. Games are played daily there, the most common versions played are Invasion Normandy, Cross of Iron and the Longest Day.
TheImperatorKnight has setup his own Youtube channel with many Close Combat videos. TIK has been reporting on current Close Combat news and showcasing different versions for months now. He has also started a new website called Close Combat Fanatics. You can see videos, news and he's currently hosting a Panthers in the Fog tournament which is already underway. I am sure we can expect TIK to publish the first videos of Gateway to Caen when its released!
The CSO site has been recently resurrected. The forums are back online and Sulla is still busy recreating the downloads and news section.
A big thanks goes out to our members 0202243, Miker1 and one anonymous person for donations in February.
Cathartes has posted a short 52 second video of Matrix & Slitherine's upcoming title Close Combat Gateway to Caen. The video is showing a few characteristics worthy of talking about. Explosion effects have been modified. Good insight is given into the rifle and machine gun sounds and you will recognize some old voices from GJS. Also, either they have changed the narrow view Panthers in the Fog gives you or Cathartes has a 30" monitor.
This is a look at the Battle for Caen mod for The Longest Day. I will be playing a grand campaign. This is not a review, more like a look at the mod and engine it's running on. Battle for Caen is an adaptation of the Invasion Normandy mod, Gold Juno Sword. Dima took this mod and created Total Realism Submod (TRSM) for Invasion Normandy. Then, with Nikins help it was ported to The Longest Day and renamed Battle for Caen. Caen on the strategic map has always been a defensive anchor for the Germans so the name is still fitting. The map is excellent for defence due to the four bridges and all the cover the city provides. Nikin and Dima have released version 0.93, and are working on another update.
Battle rebuilds and end timer crashes are mostly a thing of the past now, I have not come across a single crash! Invasion Normandy also forced us to not get ahead of our opponent in the strategic phase or you would suffer a game freeze. So no longer do we have to follow the "execute, next next" routine. Taking all these fixes into account, the first feeling Battle for Caen gave me was relief. The next feeling was familiarity. Seeing the old and trusted Gold Juno Sword strategic map in TLD was great. Now I feel like I am playing Invasion Normandy with all the fixes that made online play a bit difficult.
In 2003 Matrix Games along with Eric Young released Eric Young's Squad
Assault: Westfront. This was quite literally Close Combat in 3D. Eric
Young was one of the original developers with Atomic. Squad Assault was
the second and more successful attempt at putting Close Combat into 3D.
GI Combat was the first and did not work very well, Eric Young also
worked on that one. It recieved bad reviews and the forums turned into
flames and have since dissapeared. From the images I attached you can
plainly see the influence of Close Combat into Squad Assault. When I
say its literally Close Combat in 3D, thats not an exaggeration, all
the same options are there along with copied maps. There are some new
options which I will touch briefly on, there are also things taken out
like right clicking for map properties. The 3D camera view at first is
hard to get used to, however after a couple minutes its simple. Once
you find a good camera angle its likely you will stick with it,
changing only to check map elevations and LOS. During my St. Mere
Eglise battle I did notice troops popping smoke automatically to block
incoming LOS, nice touch.
In July Wargamer.com and Matrixgames.com announced two new Close Combat titles, Gateway to Caen and The Bloody First. I have consolidated the news and forum posts from both websites and from Steve McClaire to give everyone a summary of what to expect so far.
Gateway to Caen will be based off the Panthers in the Fog engine. If you already own PiTF then that gives away most of what you may be asking. Under the hood Gateway to Caen is just a new campaign built upon PiTF. This will be the last 2D version of Close Combat we will see. The campaign will be based off of Operation Epsom, an Allied campaign intended to flank and liberate the city of Caen between June 26 to the 20th. So we can expect to come up against lots of elite German SS with heavy tanks and lots of automatic weapon fire. For the Allies you can start fantasizing about reloading Bren gun magazines, recocking your PIATs and trying to get your tank destroyers in flanking positions, good luck! I am really thinking about Gold, Juno, Sword now. There may be some major input from the guys that brought you GJS into this version We can also expect a remodeling of some of the games vehicles graphics, and new audio. I hope the `3D` vehicles make a comeback. New maps are a given with any Close Combat, however more effort will be made to make them more detailed and realistic. There will also be possible changes to the team slots. The release date is end of 2013.
That brings us to the Bloody First. A brand new 3D version (Unity 3D) of Close Combat, designed in such a way you will still feel like your playing the classic Close Combat, or so they say! The Bloody First is the US 1st Division who fought through Tunisia, Sicily and Normandy. You will be able to play through all three campaigns. Another huge difference will be this campaign mode, it will be more CC3 style than CC5, and it will be down to the platoon level vice company. The campaign may have what Steve McClaire calls, `triggers` and `decision points.` That is to say if you meet certain criteria in a battle, you may be faced with decisions on where to go next, or the game will put you into action again. Along with a new engine there will be new AI, new pathfinding, maps... you name it. A partially destructible environment may be implemented. Think about the game Breach by Atomic in 2009, that was their main selling point. Modability is also being taken into account. The long awaited engine sound feature will finally be implemented, with an on/off switch. Lets hope this feature comes with the added feature of the default setting being off. This will be the 13th version of Close Combat with no multiplayer support beyond 1v1 ---disappointing! Release date, sometime in 2014.
Thomm's overview maps provide a very clear view of line of sight in the planning and combat stages. They are very useful when setting up troops as they show precisely where your line of sight ends or what is partially blocking it. To install the mod download CC5_Classic_ThommsOVM_plugin.zip. Unzip the archive to the /Config Manager/Plugins/ folder. The overview maps are good for CC5 v5.01 only. They are not compatible with any other mods or submods of CC5. The plugin will replace every stock CC5 map, here's a preview of some of them.
In August of 2004, Zappi, Homba, Bambam887, RedScorpion and MOOXE all pitched
in to create this Close Combat site. I would to thank all the people who have visited
and found this site to thier liking. I hope you had time to check out some
of the great Close Combat mods and our forums. I'd also like to thank
all the members of our volunteer staff that have helped over
the years, and all our users that contributed to this site!

Configuring VPN connections with Linux clients
Supporting IPsec via the 2.6 Kernel
Make sure you install the right supporting daemons for your connection. If your system uses any version of the 2.6 kernel, it natively supports IPsec, but if you want to use KVpnc or vpnc, you'll still need to install the racoon daemon, which takes care of the key exchange for IPsec implementations. To install racoon, use your native package manager or look online for instructions on building a racoon connection [4].
To support FreeS/WAN, the older IPsec standard, you'll have to install the ipsec daemon. If you fail to install the appropriate daemon, your VPN implementation will fail because it will be impossible for your system to conduct the necessary key exchanges when establishing the tunnel.
Establishing VPN today has gotten much easier, but the GUI VPN clients still don't do it all for you. Although working with Microsoft, Cisco, and OpenVPN servers requires a bit of troubleshooting acumen, if you keep working at it, you'll find success.

I'm having my first child in august and i am considering giving my baby both formula and breast milk, however i want to feed it breast milk from a bottle...is there a difference with the type o bottle i use? I have seen nursing bottles and regular bottles, but can i use regular bottles for both formula and breast milk?
Bottles are made to fit the baby and not the type of food that you put in it, so you sure can feed your baby formula and breast milk in the same type of bottle.
Great question!
Nope - same bottle for both!! Consider calling your insurance company to find out if they cover a pump rental/purchase. They are covering them more and more! If you use WIC, they also can help you out with a pump rental. Hope this helps. :-)

On cold commutes or stormy ridges the soft blend of chlorine-free merino wool and nylon stops heat loss, dries quickly and stays warm, even when wet. A fleece lining wicks moisture and feels smooth against skin for all-day comfort. The classic design, sporting a playful pom on top, goes most anywhere.

Chlorine-free Wool
Raw, untreated wool has scales that make it itchy and coarse and cause it to shrink, so most wool fabrics are treated with chlorine to reduce the scales. But chlorine is a pervasive pollutant that's especially harmful to organisms living in water and soil. We remove the scales from our merino wool fibers using a unique chlorine-free process that's bluesign® approved.
