Introduction for this series here. This post discusses the terrain, some items considered during scenario design and a Q&A with the scenario designer.
The 18th Volksgrenadier (VG) Division holds my right flank and was opposed by the 14th Armored Group (AG) and the 422nd Regiment of the ill-fated 106th Infantry Division (ID). The 62nd VG Division is on my left and their jumping off positions are west of the German town of Prum. The armored Führerbegleit Brigade (Führer Escort) is in reserve behind the 18th VG Division, ready to exploit weaknesses in the American line.
Link to a map showing the initial attacks on the 106th ID from Hugh M. Cole's The Ardennes: Battle of the Bulge.
The image above uses satellite imagery to show the importance of the Losheim Gap on the course of the battle. A larger image, discussion on the starting positions and reason for the blue line are available by clicking on the image or here.
More after the jump.
Hugh Cole discusses the battlefield and I've selected some of his text for context.
Page 43. The road network:
"The road net in 1944 was far richer than the population and the economic activity of the Ardennes would seem to warrant. This was not the result of military planning, as in the case of the Eifel rail lines, but rather of Belgian and Luxemburgian recognition of the value of automobile tourisme just prior to World War II. All of the main roads had hard surfaces, generally of macadam. Although the road builders tried to follow the more level stretches of the ridge lines or wider valley floors, in many cases the roads twisted sharply and turned on steep grades down into a deep ravine and out again on the opposite side. The bridges were normally built of stone."
"The normal settlement in the Ardennes was the small village with stone houses and very narrow, winding streets. These villages often constricted the through road to single-lane traffic. Another military feature was the lone farmstead or inn which gave its name to the crossroads at which it stood."
Pg 46. Geography:
"The geography of the Ardennes leads inevitably to the channelization of large troop movements east to west, will tend to force larger units to "pile up" on each other, and restricts freedom of maneuver once the direction of attack and order of battle are fixed. To a marked degree the military problem posed by the terrain is that of movement control rather than maneuver in the classic sense."
"What the German planners saw in 1944 was this: the Ardennes could be traversed by large forces even when these were heavily mechanized. An attack from east to west across the massif would encounter initially the greatest obstacles of terrain, but these obstacles would decrease in number as an advance neared the Meuse."
"This is mountainous country, with much rainfall, deep snows in winter, and raw, harsh winds sweeping across the plateaus. The heaviest rains come in November and December. The mists are frequent and heavy, lasting well into late morning before they break. Precise predictions by the military meteorologist, however, are difficult because the Ardennes lies directly on the boundary between the northwestern and central European climatic regions and thus is affected by the conjuncture of weather moving east from the British Isles and the Atlantic with that moving westward out of Russia. At Stavelot freezing weather averages 112 days a year, at Bastogne 145 days. The structure of the soil will permit tank movement when the ground is frozen, but turns readily to a clayey mire in time of rain. Snowfall often attains a depth of ten to twelve inches in a 24-hour period. Snow lingers for a long time in the Ardennes but-and this is important in recounting the events of 1944-the deep snows come late."
The Campaign Series game engine allows a change of visibility on a turn by turn basis. In practice, most designers keep visibility the same for the whole scenario but in this scenario, visibility changes on a daily basis (every 6 turns). My preference would be greater granularity of visibility throughout the six turn day (e.g. fog in the mornings) but fog can be localized, especially in valleys and gullies but visibility settings are universal across the map.
Changing road and field conditions are harder to emulate. In this scenario, snow covers the ground throughout the game but conditions during the battle changed from mud to snow to frozen ground and back to mud. It is possible to change the ground conditions but that would require every player to manually update a game file. In the interests of playability, snow stays on the ground throughout.
A scenario designer always has to weigh the trade offs between realism, playability and the constraints of the game engine. Changes to one aspect can have second or third order effects on the others. For this scenario, the designer has come up with the following compromises:
Scott Cole: How long have you been working on this scenario?
Von Earlmann: I guess about 10 years or so to include my first modding attempts on the original East Front.
SC: How long did it take to create the map?
VE: The map was a long process as I started with a smaller version and kept adding to it as the scenario grew in my mind.
SC: What was your process for map creation (e.g. which sources did you use)?
VE: I actually found a complete set of battle maps for the whole Ardennes offensive at a lawn sale years ago which was what gave me the initial idea for this monster scenario as it had one map just for the V Panzer AOR (of course, I made the mistake of lending them to someone and they are now long gone). Also, used a lot of the maps and descriptions from the book "A Time for Trumpets". The last expansion came from maps that Huib (Note: another master scenario designer) sent me from the actual area. I used them for a lot of the terrain and distances. I never did have topographic maps with the elevations so had to wing that but, figured it was the same map for both sides and does depict the toughness of the area to fight in.
SC: What was your philosophy for the OOBs?
VE: The main thing with OOB's in a large scenario is reducing the number of HQs for smoother supply purposes. I simply eliminated most of the battalion HQs and have the entire regiment trace to regimental HQ by moving the platoons directly under regimental or brigade HQs (note: this is done in a separate OOB file unique to the scenario). It takes a lot of renaming but makes for better command and control and smoother supply.
I usually take out a lot of the smaller indirect fire units such as infantry guns, 81mm mortars and lower and things like machine gun sections. There is nothing that will ruin any large scenario more than watching replays with all those small units firing (Note: usually to no effect, though a direct hit from 81mm mortars can quickly change your plans for the day). In each scenario there is more than enough artillery to make it realistic, especially in this scenario as the Americans have plenty of artillery units (Note: I can attest to that….).
SC: What does this scenario start? I'm guessing after the pre-dawn night combat. For example, the 18th VG Regiment starts west of Krewinkle.
VE: Again, I used some poetic license to place units at start positions. It was a bit easier with the Germans as their forces divide up well over the three map sections. The Americans were a bit tougher as one of the divisions was spread over two sectors (Note: the 106th has some platoons in the center sector). Doing this represents how thin the Americans were spread across the front line.
The scenario beings with actions from 16 through 31 December. I used that time frame to seat weather, reinforcements, unit releases, etc. The basis is one day equals six turns. I know the game is supposed to be 6 minute turns but that is a discussion for another time and seems to work in this scenario.
I'll go over the OOBs for all units mentioned in today's post and also will discuss the fighting at Krewinkle as the scenario starts after this engagement.

Flood Displace Over 25, 000 In Benue
Over 25, 000 people have been displaced by flood in Benue State as heavy rains dislodged many families in several areas of the state at the weekend.
Executive Secretary of the Benue State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), Mr. Boniface Ortese, told Daily Trust yesterday that he had established eight camps in six local government areas of the state.
He said two of the camps are in Makurdi which has the largest number of displaced persons while the other six temporary shelters are located in five affected local councils.
According to him, the affected LGAs include: Kastina-Ala, Buruku, Guma, Gwer West, Makurdi and Agatu.
Ortese who said he toured parts of the affected areas with a boat at the weekend noted that 21 communities were completely submerged in Agatu and Gwer West with Agatu having at least 7,000 displaced people.
"The figure could be more than that because we were not able to cover all the submerged villages with the boat. I have given them questionnaires to fill so that we can actually determine the number of displaced people in the area," he said.
The SEMA boss added that the main camp housing flood victims in Makurdi at the international market had recorded over 11, 000 people even as he had to open another one in Chile Island of Makurdi LGA with a total of 2, 600 as at the last count on Saturday.
Ortese said relief materials had been distributed to the victims in all the eight camps across the state as directed by Governor Samuel Ortom.

When you're on the search for new talent to help your business grow, you'll probably come across a variety of terms used by different staffing agencies and headhunters use to describe their services. For example, some agencies offer direct hire recruiting, while others offer temporary or contract-to-hire staffing services.
The real question is this: "Which hiring process is best for your organization?" To help you answer this question, let's compare "direct hire" vs "contract to hire" processes, defining both as well as their unique advantages or disadvantages for different situations.
Direct Hire Definition vs Contract to Hire Definition
In the direct hire process, or what is also known as direct placement, a staffing agency adds permanent staff directly to another company's payroll. While the staffing agency handles the direct hire recruiting tasks, the prospective hire goes straight onto the client's payroll once an offer is made and accepted.
In a contract-to-hire process, the selected candidate begins their employment contract on the staffing agency's payroll, not on the client's payroll. Whereas direct hire recruiting immediately makes the new hire an employee of the end-user client, the contract to hire processes offer flexibility by providing an option to hire the contractor directly after the end of the contract period. Contract length varies greatly from short-term to indefinite. In nearly all situations, the client will have an opportunity convert the contractor at a time that best meets their individual needs.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Direct Hiring vs Contract Hiring
When comparing direct hire vs contract hire processes, it's important to carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each before settling on one solution.
Pros of Direct Hire Recruiting Processes
- Allows new hires to feel that they are "part of the team" from day one.
- Sources permanent talent to fill your long-term employee needs faster than you can do on your own.
- Often more attractive for passive candidates, as there is a greater sense of job security post-hire—plus immediate access to your company's benefits program.
- Attracts a broader pool of prospective candidates.
- Allows new hires to take advantage of your employee benefits.
- It also may promote employee retention.
- Candidates go directly onto your payroll—so you avoid lingering cost markups for the staffing agency to keep the new hire on their payroll. Paying a one-time fee to the recruiting agency is typically a less expensive option.
Using direct hire recruiting is a great option when you want to add permanent staff, have available headcount, and time to invest in a longer hiring process.
Pros of Contract to Hire
- It gives you a chance to assess a prospective hire in action without committing to putting them on your payroll.
- The interview process is typically shorter than the direct hire process. Hiring a contractor versus a direct employee is typically perceived as less risky, which often reduces the interview cycle.
- Contract to hire staffing may provide a greater chance of employee retention since the contract period allows for an extended evaluation period, or a "working interview."
- No need to add employees still in the contract assessment period to your benefits program. Contract employees are paid only for hours worked and do not go on your benefit plan until they become a direct employee.
Contract to hire is a good option if you need to add talent a bit more quickly to fill an immediate need that is (or is likely to become) long term. It should not be used purely to fill a temporary staffing need, such as a seasonal or project-based position since candidates who accept a contract to assignment role will expect an opportunity to become a direct employee if they perform well.
If you do end up going with a contract to hire process, it is vital to:
- Have a plan up front for assessing the contracted talent before adding them to your payroll. Otherwise, your decision to either hire or let talent go after the contract period may feel arbitrary.
- Clearly communicate the timeline in advance to the recruiting firm, so they can properly set expectations with prospective candidates.
- Treat the contract employee from the start as if they are a direct employee since that is what you intend for them to become!
Depending on your specific situation, either one of these staffing processes may be better for your needs than the other. Need help deciding between direct hire vs contract staffing solutions? Contact the experts at 4 Corner Resources today to learn more!

A sad day has come for the pets in my family. Our oldest dog Pepper passed away today after suffering from a quick growing tumor.
Pepper was 13 years old and has been my wife's puppy since he was 6 weeks old. It's an impressive life span for a dog and Pepper definately lived a good one.
He spent the last 7 years of his life pampered by our 7 year old Katie-bug who pampered, poked and prodded Pepper to do whatever it was she wanted to do. On any given day Pepper could be found in Katie's room being hand fed his daily diet of dog food during a tea party with all the dolls.
R.I.P Pepper!

If you ask any employee today, they will often complain that email is the blight of their workday. They are often overwhelmed and do not know how to deal with email effectively. These tips below can be applied to a heavy email user that is constantly keeping an eye on their inbox and responding to email all day to someone who just checks email once a day.
Create sub folders
If you receive a lot of mail from one person on an almost daily basis, you could automatically filter any mail from them into a sub folder. This way when they ask if you received the email from last Tuesday at lunchtime, you can easily check without having to go through all your emails. The folders also work great if you are doing business with a particular website. You could create as folder for the website any mail sent from that domain is automatically filtered there.
Keep on top of your spam settings
Spam levels have dropped a lot over the past few years thanks to the effort of multiple spam detection tools. It is still important to manage, and you can do so by, reporting the spam and block the sender from being able to penetrate your neatly organized inbox again. You can block a whole domain, email address or IP address via the spam blacklist.
Create aliases
An alias is like an additional email address that can be added or removed to save you using your real email address. This can be exceptionally handy for handling multiple email addresses within one email account. Maybe you don't want to give out your real email address, but need to ensure that you receive the emails sent to that address. This is just one example of when an email alias is suitable.
Use the email calendar
Email calendars are very powerful tools and often highly universal. Integrating with a variety of different devices and applications. They are secure and tied to your email account, so if you lose your mobile phone or upgrade your computer, then you can rest assured that your email calendar will still be available. Many CEO's and successful, or motivated people credit their achievements to organization, setting goals and making appointments like this are great way to start. Within an email calendar you can categorize tasks and events by colour, set them to occur over on a weekly, monthly our annual basis. You can also set reminders through email or sms and invite others via email to a calendar event.
Keep a zero inbox
It is a lot easier said done. The idea is that every email received should be dealt with. Either deleted, archived in appropriate folder or marked as spam. This is a great practice to get into, the key to success here is to have your subfolders create to store any mail you wish to archive. Having a good spam protection tool will also help. Thexyz multiple layers of spam protection ensure you will have clean inbox that can also be a great help to keeping a zero inbox.
Make use of auto responders
Whether you are going on vacation or dealing with a high spike in incoming email, an auto responder will help get the message out by automatically sending a message to everyone that sends a message to you. You can read more about setting up an auto reply message for incoming email.
Setup email filters
I mentioned it above the "Create sub-folders" section, I will mention it again as it really, create some email filters.
Create a folder for bacon (BACN)
BACN is not a food but email, unlike spam it is email that has been subscribed to and is therefore not unsolicited. Over the past few years, advances in spam detection have lead to a reduction in the amount of spam making it to your inbox. Email marketers are now sending more mail than ever before to members and subscribers. These daily or weekly emails can take up much of your inbox. You probably don't want to keep them all, and at the same time, not send them all to your spam for easy purging. Instead create a folder called 'BACN.' You can then use filters to divert these newsletters and notifications to the BACN folder to find all this non-essential email in one place. It can also be easily deleted.

Director: David Yates
Duration: 133 min.
Cast: Colin Farrell, Eddie Redmayne, Ezra Miller
Genge: Adventure, Fantasy
Country: USA
Release date USA: 2016-11-10
Plot & Details
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
It is wrong to consider the film either a prequel or a sequel to Harry Potter. It is rather a thematic extension with the same magical world full of witches. There are 5 main characters, 3 of which are absolutely original. The film's plot starts in New York city in 1920. In 1918 the protagonist Newton Scamander began his worldwide travelling in order to discover the unknown fantastical beasts. 7 years later he will publish his book and 70 years later Harry Potter will read it in Hogwarts school.
The movie is still in pre-production phase so no teaser and stills available. Also, the pilot date hasn't been set yet. Once it's released you can add your reviews on our website and we'll provide you with the air date.
You can also register on site, add Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them to your personal cabinet, its date release to Google Calendar. You can vote for your favorite movie of 2019.
Please leave feedback if you watched Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. It will help others to choose the new film.
Addicted to Harry Potters film series? Then you will be delighted to know there is another wizarding movie on the way. In fact it's a trilogy with the release date of the first part to be due on November 11, 2016 and the subsequent films will follow in 2018 and 2020. Both Potter's spin off book and the adapted script belong to J. Rowling.

Some of the biggest corporate "heists" in recent months, from the Guptas to Steinhoff to VBS Mutual Bank have involved chartered accountants accused of misconduct and misuse of power, leaving the once proud industry with its reputation in tatters.
Accounting bodies, such as the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (Saica) and the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors (IRBA) have been accused of dropping the ball and taking too long to act against their errant members.
The list of people who face investigation and possibly disciplinary action by the two organisations include former Steinhoff CEO Markus Jooste, several senior KPMG staff members involved in the auditing of the Gupta accounts, a number of VBS Mutual Bank and Vele Investments executives and the KPMG auditors who signed off on the allegedly fraudulent VBS financial statements.
Tainted profession
But Saica's Acting CEO Fanisa Lamola says that out of their 46000 members, only some 265 face disciplinary action and these are the ones who have tainted the profession.
"Saica has 46 000 members (including associate general accountants), and roughly 10 000 are expatriates, living all over the world," said Lamola.
"I was in the US last month and some of our members there were worried. They asked what is being done about the profession, but they never said that they were struggling. There is still high demand for South African chartered accountants across the world. The negative publicity has created an unfortunate perception about the industry but only 265 out of 46 000 members are currently facing disciplinary processes. So the few are tainting the reputation of the many ethical members."
Lamola took over as acting Saica CEO from Terence Nombembe in March. Nombembe was seconded to the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into state capture.
Disciplinary processes
Asked why disciplinary measures seemed to be drawn out, Lamola said it was a "legal based process".
"We don't start with a disciplinary. The complaint first has to go through an investigation which is presented to a professional conduct committee and the member is allowed an opportunity to respond. If reason is established to charge the member, it goes to the Saica disciplinary committee," she said.
"The disciplinary is chaired by a judge or an advocate and follows a legal process. The accused is allowed the right to representation and on average,cases can take six to eight months to finalise and we can't comment on them during this period in case we prejudice administrative justice of the case and open ourselves up to appeals or litigation."
She said Saica was not a prosecuting authority but a voluntary organisation. For those found guilty, the worst sanction is de-registration and/or a R500 000 fine per charge, said Lamola.
"According to Saica's by-laws, if CAs(SA) are also registered auditors with the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors, Saica has to wait for the outcomes of IRBA investigations and would usually adopt the IRBA's findings against CAs who are also registered auditors.
Tough times
Accounting scandals are also not the only difficulties facing the industry.
The state of municipal finances are laid bare year after year by the Auditor General and in Kimi Makwetu's 2016/17 report, he found that only 33 municipalities out of 257 had managed to produce financial statements and performance reports of an acceptable standard, and received clean audits. Only 22% of municipalities managed to provide financial statements without material misstatements.
"It's even worse when you are a city manager because as an administrator, you rely on your CFO (chief financial officer) and you cannot be everywhere and do everything by yourself and it means you must sleep with your eyes wide open because if you dare blink, there is a submission that is not necessarily correct," Lamola said.
Lamola, who also has experience in the private sector having worked at Anglo American and JP Morgan Securities, previously worked as the Provincial Accountant General in the Limpopo Treasury. Prior to joining Saica in 2012, she was Polokwane's city manager.
Burn out
She said accountants in the public sector "will definitely burn out" as they often do not have the necessary support structure, unlike in the private sector.
Coupled to this was that city managers and CFOs usually report to politicians who sometimes "don't even have an understanding of what the Municipal Finance Management Act or Public Finance Management Act is all about".
"The public sector is a difficult environment, you can't go in naïve, you must understand the dynamics, and part of the dynamics is that the politician is there to deliver to his ... people.
"The last thing a politician wants to hear is the city manager telling him it's impossible, but you have to tell them it's not doable to make them understand or find a solution that is within the law...in line with regulations to be able to deliver."

In 2013, an idea hit me to take the latest design I had made, a minimalist and stripped down version of the Bay Area transit map - you know the metro maps in popular cities that remind you of some board game, or busy-bee contraption with several lines, each a different color crossing and tangling through the other rails of color, looping again while some of them stop, and then turn around. To add to the mess (mix,) location stops are squeezed in wherever they might fit - wherever the dot, or line break calls to represent that stop. Yet the map never failed to grab my attention. Perhaps seeing it everyday, just naturally made it grow on me - more and more, since I was an artist and all, and I did love color.
So on that day in 2013 while on the train back into the city, I would finally give the Bay Area Transit Map the attention it deserved. As I examined it closely through the final stops as I approached my exit, it was as though it knew my thoughts -
I'm going to make you pretty.
It took a few days, but the end result was a complete transformation from the original map - not in a bad way, but not in a good way either. You see, there would be no way the map I designed would make sense to a commuter, as I deleted everything needed for it to be a successful map. What I did create though, was a bit of art, and that was my intention. I made sure all lines fit a much bolder color pallet, intersections would break nicely in a fixed gap, and line turns would be an even degree. I blew up my final edit in illustrator, and had it set to print at 40 x 60 in. The result was spectacular. I hopped back on BART to the nearest Walmart, and picked up an inexpensive black poster frame. The next day I was overly happy at my accomplishment every time I glanced at the piece hanging over the futon.
Nothing but praise came from anyone who saw it. I think everyone liked it, but I wasn't sure if anyone loved it, like I did. . . That was until the requests came in from closer friends and family to please make them one. And so I did, maybe a dozen or so - until it slowed down - like abruptly slowed down. The project file was saved and archived in my design folder, and I moved on with my normal life.
In 2015 I moved back home from San Francisco, and needed some cash, or more cash. I was doing photography gigs for friends and family, and I had a few steady design clients, but still I wanted to harness more of my creativity. My friend has told me about this site called Etsy - an online marketplace for all things handmade, and fortunately for me, that meant art. I opened up a shop, called it The Camera Graphic, and started with a handful of products. Some where photographs, a couple were digital graphic illustrations, and one of them was the minimalist Bart transit map. The next few days my Etsy shop existed in slumber. Nobody was really even looking. Eh, I didn't mind, and it definitely didn't stop me from adding my next product, a redesigned transit map of Boston - sharing the same colors I used in the Bart map, and the same design principals. Over the next few days, I would hear the cash register notification repeatedly go off on my phone. The sales were starting, but all those sales were coming from Boston. This was still exciting. In the mix of activity, I caught a message from an Etsy buyer requesting me to make a Chicago version of the map. I did, and then Chicago started to sell too. This was cool - I was making a bit of cash from the maps I was so fascinated by, and what I found to be even more satisfying, was realizing the buyers must have been people who were just as equally as fascinated.
More maps were added, Los Angeles, Portland, New York City and San Diego, each one contributing to a growth in revenue. The holiday season began to come around, and during that time a few more maps were made and posted. Little did I know I would soon be in over my head. The joyous new time I had been having creating again lately, would be taken and replaced with a fear I never saw coming, a high demand, that grew and grew each day closer toward Christmas.

Psychedelic Furs, Kaskade, and more
Lil' Flip
The Rock
Best known for bubbly-smooth mid-'00s Southern rap hits such as "The Way We Ball" and "Game Over (Flip)" amid the ascendance of other, now more famous "Lil"s, Houston's Lil' Flip writes and flows catchier and poppier than most rap heroes more famous or underground. The Flipper returns to the Rock behind a forthcoming, much-delayed sixth studio album, Ahead of My Time, on the heels of promising mixtapes full of his laconically groovy choruses and natural-as-talk verses about the good side of hood life. With Izzy Dunfore, Young FTE, and Absent. 18+. $10/$12 at the door. 8 p.m. 2029 Woodlynn Ave., Maplewood; 651.770.7822. —Peter S. Scholtes
Frog Eyes
7th St. Entry
If Tom Waits and Neil Young were in their late 20s or early 30s in 2010, they would without a doubt be doing what Frog Eyes are doing: volatile, nihilistic lo-fi rock that comes from the heart and cuts to the bone. In the field in which Carey Mercer and company play, there is a fine line between inspired and insipid, but Frog Eyes never cross into the latter, at the same time never—even for a fraction of a second—playing it safe. Every inch of their new record, Paul's Tomb: A Triumph, is elegant, punishing chaos, with Mercer's frenetic, almost inconceivably intense vocals at the forefront of the monsoon. Frog Eyes aren't necessarily the most accessible band, but that's also sort of the point: Not everyone wants to watch someone barely survive a jump from an airplane without a parachute, but the people who do are thrilled as much by the triumph as they are by the prospect of it all going awry at the very last second. Frog Eyes dangle at the precipice of gory disaster from the outset, and while they arrive safe (more or less), the adrenaline-sapping trip is one that can't be forgotten. With Pearly Gates Music. 18+. $8. 8 p.m. 701 First Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612.332.1775. —Pat O'Brien
New Pornographers
First Avenue
It's been a decade now since the New Pornographers made the North American indie-rock scene. That the band was a side project for almost everyone involved—and that long-gestating debut Mass Romantic would eclipse every member's other gigs—was the insider rock-crit cherry on the ice-cream sundae of its success. Somewhere along the line, though, they lost their way: settling into lame MOR clichés, jettisoning bite for balm, in serious danger of becoming another face in the almost-adult-contemporary crowd. So it's a pleasure to report that on Together, the New Pornographers have their shit, er, back together, cranking out mildly ironic gems of their peculiar brand of power-pop Americana. Are they still stuck in the '60s? Kinda. Are Dan Bejar and Carl Newman's voices reedy and raspy as fuck? Of course. Do they have the sense to put not-so-secret weapon/alt-country force-of-nature Neko Case out front to steal the record out from under everybody else? You betcha—and that's why we can't stop spinning it. With My Gold Mask. 18+. $22/$25 at the door. 8 p.m. 701 First Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612.332.1775. —Ray Cummings
DJ and producer Kaskade, a.k.a. Ryan Raddon, describes his silky blend of pop songsmithing and progressive house as "epic," even titling a recent remix album The Grand (no doubt tongue in cheek). But while the description of his music might be lofty, there's a refreshing lack of bombast to his productions. His wildly appealing mix of the tough and the sunny has led Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, and Justin Timberlake to turn to him for remixes. But it's on original material that Kaskade's songwriting and musicality come to the fore. Dynasty features a passel of great female vocalists—ethereal Haley, quavery Mindy Gledhill, suave Polina, and wistful Becky Jean Williams—over killer grooves ranging from near-tribal to danceable modern iterations on '80s post-punk like the Cure and Cocteau Twins. Collaborations with trance king Tiesto and quirky Canadian electro group Dragonette round out the set. With Shiek and Dayne. 18+. $15/$20 at the door. 10 p.m. 110 N. Fifth St., Minneapolis; 612.332.3742. —Cecile Cloutier
Psychedelic Furs
First Avenue
The Psychedelic Furs are a study in retroactive popularity. They toiled in the punk and new-wave underground for years before finding success as the inspiration for a John Hughes movie in 1986. They re-recorded that song ("Pretty in Pink") for the soundtrack, and after being an afterthought for so many years, with the world at large not really paying attention to which direction they were headed, they suddenly had no direction at all. They recorded a Top 40-ish record as a follow-up to their newfound, long-awaited success (1987's Midnight to Midnight) but the band (and many of their fans—most of whom wisely dug into their back catalog in the meantime) have since characterized it as hollow and their weakest effort overall. There were two more underperforming but underrated albums afterward, and then the band members went their separate ways before reforming in 2000. There has been almost no talk of them revisiting a studio anytime soon; the band is what it is (or, more accurately, what it was). They tour on the back of a catalog that is 20 to 30 years old, but when the overall aesthetic is as good as the Furs', there isn't any need to apologize or dress it up as something it isn't, either. With She Wants Revenge. 18+. $23/$25 at the door. 6 p.m. 701 First Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612.332.1775. —Pat O'Brien
Steve Martin
State Theatre
"He's like the president of comedy," Jimmy Dore recently said of Steve Martin. Dore was interviewing pal David Feldman, who was part of Martin's writing team for the Academy Awards broadcast this past March. "When he hired me it's the first time in my comedic life none of my comedian friends were jealous," Feldman told City Pages. "They were more awestruck. I like it better when they're jealous." Martin is primarily known for his comedy and acting skills, and many forget that he's an accomplished banjo player. He's currently touring the U.S. backed by the Steep Canyon Rangers, a bluegrass quintet from North Carolina. Drawing rave reviews, the set is top-drawer bluegrass, though Martin apparently mixes in some humor between songs. His album The Crow: New Songs for the 5-String Banjo won a Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album this past January. Martin has also performed his bluegrass stylings at the Grand Ole Opry, as well as on radio's A Prairie Home Companion. All ages. $35-$65. 7 p.m. 805 Hennepin Ave. S., Minneapolis; 612.339.7007. —P.F. Wilson
7th St. Entry
If you're coming from a musical background that cherishes the singer-songwriter concept above all others, you might consider HEALTH an abomination. The Los Angeles band doesn't sing so much as coo, the flattened-out vocals becoming part of a sonic bird's nest that they build out of bits of synth and guitar, heaps of noise, and drums that rumble like a stampede. There's not a lot to sing along to, really. But, to aficionados of sonic texture, HEALTH have touched on something extraordinary; they're masters of fashioning drama out of the most primal elements, knowing when to use each snarl of sound for maximum effect. It may seem an unholy mess at first, but notice the way the drums direct the action—their stop-on-a-dime dynamics are far too complex to be anything but meticulously planned. The band choose insane bits of noise the way a poet chooses words, turning the chaos into a musical lexicon all their own, a language that engages your basest, most animal instincts. With Indian Jewelry and Gold Panda. 18+. $12. 8 p.m. 701 First Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612.332.1775. —Ian Traas
Joe Ely
Another in a rich tradition of superb Texas songwriters, Joe Ely is among a select handful who hail from the wind-swept plains around Lubbock, whose panhandle geography imbues them with a haunting, grit-flecked grandeur and squinty-eyed existentialist outlook. It's the land the doomed Buddy Holly called home, as well as Ely's compatriots in the Flatlanders, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock. With 30-some years between the first and second coming of the Flatlanders, Ely pursued a solo career that was often artistically phenomenal but less so commercially, neatly sidestepping easy categorizing by tapping border radio eclecticism and riding the range from country and Tex-Mex to roots rock, blues, and honky-tonk. Ely's written a lot of great songs over the years: "Up on the Ridge," "Because the Wind," "Cool Rockin' Loretta," "Me and Billy the Kid," and "Letter to Laredo" spring to mind. Many of those will probably surface as Ely appears in a relatively intimate barroom setting, essentially his natural habitat. Percussionist Pat Manske, who has played with the Flatlanders, will accompany Ely. Iron Range bard Paul Metsa will open. $23/$25. 7 p.m. 761 Washington Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612.338.8188. —Rick Mason
Booker T and the MGs with Eddie Floyd
Dakota Jazz Club
Soulsville U.S.A. reestablishes its northern outpost at the Dakota with the arrival upriver of the inimitable Booker T. & the MGs, the iconic groove masters who were the heart and definitely soul of Stax Records. Through the 1960s and early '70s, B3 organ wizard Booker T. Jones, guitarist Steve Cropper, bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn, and drummer Al Jackson were the house band at Stax's studio on Memphis's McLemore Avenue, defining the Stax sound while playing behind the likes of Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Rufus Thomas, and Wilson Pickett. Meanwhile, the MGs issued their own series of instrumental hits, including such nuggets as "Green Onions" and "Time Is Tight." During Stax's heyday, Eddie Floyd scored hits with soul classics like "Knock on Wood," "Raise Your Hand," and "Bring It on Home to Me," as well as being a prolific writer for other artists, including "Don't Mess with Cupid" for Redding and "634-5789" for Pickett. The original Stax is long gone. But in recent years the label has been revived by Concord, the iconic Soulsville marquee again reigns on McLemore, and Jones, Cropper, Dunn, Steve Potts (the late Jackson's cousin), and their friend Floyd continue working their magic. $55 at 7 p.m.; $35 at 9:30 p.m. 1010 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis; 612.332.1010. Also Wednesday —Rick Mason

Alexys "The Tender" Taylor and "Nasty" Nate Soltis both were recently named the Cardinal Ritter Booster Club Athletes of the Month.
Taylor has been a standout on the Girls Bowling Team as she has bowled a 168 average over the course of 10 matches. She has had a game high of 214 and her hgih for 2 games was 400. Right now she is in the top 6 in the bowling conference.
Soltis picked up right were he left off last year as a scoring machine and team leader. He is currently averaging 22.5 points a game with a season high of 26 against Heritage Christian. Soltis is on pace to score 1,000 points for a career, a benchmark of excellence. He also has lived up to his nickname. In his last game against Heritage Christian, a young man watching him sink a three yelled out, "Oooo, that dude is NASTY!"
Great job Raiders!

Gaiz, I legitimately own the vast majority of Saturn games that I want to put on an SSD. But I'm not jumping through hoops to rip them to a format that works with this. Are the ROM files easy to source?
Gaiz, I legitimately own the vast majority of Saturn games that I want to put on an SSD. But I'm not jumping through hoops to rip them to a format that works with this. Are the ROM files easy to source?
Yes, a certain website that can take you way back has what you need
I was pretty pumped to see this thing announced. I had a pretty bad experience trying to get a real GDEMU, so as soon as I saw this thing drop I finally bought a Saturn and pre-ordered one. Along with ordering a MegaSD that I'd been considering for a while. I could not be more excited for this having owned 3 Saturn's in my lifetime for all of about a week as every single one had a defective disk drive and wouldn't play games at all.
Anybody get/install their MODEs yet? Mine came in earlier this week. I installed it in my Saturn, and it's truly awesome. Thinking about getting one for my DC too.
Anybody mess with any of the advanced installation options?
State of Yo
Yes, I believe so. I don't think the MODE has any kind of RAM component onboard. I do understand that it makes your console region free though, which is great.
State of Yo
I got mine and have tried it out in Dreamcast. Super easy install and I've been happy with it. The only advantage I can see over GDEMU is that the folder and naming structure is simpler (and the ability to use HDD or SSD but I've been using SD Card). Been using GDI format games and everything's been working great. Haven't tried any advanced options or the cover art menu.
I have a dreamcast with a dead laser that i got for free about a year and a half ago, i think i might just invest in a mode, especially since i don't own a single dreamcast game.
"I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul."
Switch FC 0965 2531 6217
It really comes down to whether you want to buy legit or not. Legit there is no question. Mode is worth picking up. Doubly so if you also have saturn. If you have disks already or dont care about buying bootlegs a clone is totally OK. You can use the money you save to put a DCHDMI and new PSU supply in for the best DC experience.

text: In Syracuse it is either snowing, getting ready to snow or just being Central New York. This day was different…..the sky on this 11 th day of September in 2001 was the clearest of blue and the sun was shining. It was one of those special days that the beginning of the Fall has to offer. A Tuesday, a time to get motivated at work because of deadlines always present. Walking into the main office I was pulled aside to come and watch the television that was set up. A plane had just flew into the World Trade Center and everyone was atwitter. Then lo and behold another crashed into tower 2. I felt that I was Alice in an unreal world. At that moment everyone's world changed not only in the U.S. but all over the world. The U.S. on that clear blue day was vulnerable. No more would Americans just go to the airport and board and fly all over the world….no more would people be free to just walk to their gates without practically being molested…..no more would we feel at ease on airplanes especially if there were people on it who looked different from us. Our world changed and why? It changed because the ideology in the guise of religion forced their views to be heard and known. An ideology that would be escalated and warped into mayhem, torture and thousands more Americans and others dying. May G-d have mercy to all who perished on that fateful clear blue day and their families find some peace and solace.

The Vodafone Warriors Take Two Against the Raiders
Media Release
For Immediate Release
The Vodafone Warriors Take Two Against the Raiders
Auckland, New Zealand, May 22, 2001 – With the NRL season now at its halfway point, the Vodafone Warriors are set to take on the Canberra Raiders for the second time in 2001.
The Vodafone Warriors will be looking to avenge their round one defeat to the Raiders, as well as regain lost ground after a disappointing loss to the Queensland Cowboys.
Sitting in tenth position on the NRL points table, Coach Daniel Anderson says his team are determined to deliver a credible effort this Saturday. Despite a last minute change in venue, Anderson believes the Raiders will be at full strength.
"The Raiders are a great team and we have enormous respect for them. They are going to be tough to beat, especially in their own back yard.
"But we've got a good team and skill base too – discipline and consistency in utilising those skills is what we need to concentrate on to turn games around.
"We have been disappointed with our last two games, we made mistakes where we shouldn't have and we've paid for those errors. We'll be sorry if we make mistakes against the Raiders, " says Anderson.
With tight game scheduling and the absence of co-captain Kevin Campion's steadying influence, the Vodafone Warriors are guaranteed a tough game. Depending on the judiciary's decision regarding the disputed grading of a careless high tackle against Cowboys forward Michael Luck, Campion could also miss the forthcoming home-game against the Northern Eagles.
The Vodafone Warriors line up against the Raiders will be as follows:
1. Motu Tony
2. Henry Faafili
3. Wairangi Koopu
4. Clinton Toopi
5. Francis Meli
6. Ivan Cleary
7. Stacey Jones (C)
8. Jerry SeuSeu
9. Jason Death
10. Ali Lauitiiti
11. Logan Swann
12. Awen Guttenbeil
13. Monty Betham
14. Nathan Wood
15. Richard Villasanti
16. Jonathon Smith
17. Shontayne Hape
The Vodafone Warriors will take on the Canberra Raiders at Manuka Oval, ACT, 5.30pm local time.

Physical Aspects Related to The Lungs
In the world of Traditional Chinese medicine, the lung is probably the organ whose TCM functions overlap the most with its Western functions. Respiration, the immune system and the skin are all systems heavily influenced by the lung, both in acupuncture and in Western medicine.

Burlison and Keeble to train and compete in South Africa
Robert Burlison and Bobby Keeble, both members of England's Under 18 squad, will represent England Golf in the Kenako South African World Juniors at Kingswood Golf Club in George on 3rd – 7th March.
Burlison, 17, (Oxley Park, Staffordshire) and Keeble, 17, (Abridge, Essex) will also enjoy some warm weather training prior to the event and will also compete in the one-day Western Province under-23 Stroke Play Championship over 36 holes at Durbanville Golf Club on 10th March.
Both players became boy caps in last year's Boys Home Internationals, Burlison having stepped up from being an under 16 international for the previous two years.
Burlison (image copyright Tom Ward Sport Photography), a former English Schools under 16 champion, has finished runner-up in the South of England Boys Open for the past two years and was equal seventh in the Boys County Champions event at Woodhall Spa in 2012.
Apart from being selected for last year's Boys Home Internationals, he has represented England Golf in the European Young Masters in Hungary, the Italian Under 16 Championship, and the Junior Players' Championship in Florida.
Keeble had been 'knocking on the door' in several events before coming close to winning last year's Carris Trophy (English Under 18 Championship) at Deal, losing to Patrick Kelly in a playoff, a performance that earned him his Boys Home Internationals call.
He shared second spot with Burlison in the South of England Boys last year and accompanied him to the Junior Players' Championship in America. Keeble also finished third in the Daily Telegraph Junior Championship and finished fifth on the Titleist/FootJoy England Golf Boys Order of Merit for 2012.
The Kenako event, which also embraces a girls' competition, is played over 54 holes of stroke play and is part of the World Junior Golf Series.

There are all kinds of options available for investing. It may be tough to decide what type of investment to make. Short and long-term gains, as well the ease of obtaining and managing an investment must be analyzed to determine which type of investment is the best investment.
While some investments have guarantees, other do not. It is important to know what type of investments exist, and what those investments do. Markets change and the conditions of investments must be examined too with adequate attention.
Consider these nine available investment options to bring in additional money and round out an impressive portfolio.
- Real Estate
- Bonds
- Commodities
- Mutual Funds
- Exchange-Traded Funds
- Certificates of Deposit
- Stocks
- Annuities
- Retirement Plans
When utilizing any or all of these investment options, investors are well on their way to realizing financial goals, which includes a strong portfolio.
Rake in Extra Money with Real Estate
Real estate is a great investment option. Through real estate ownership, investors can build capital. The value of a property will open property owners up to all types of finance options. Real estate is commonly used to secure additional loans. It can also produce cash right away through rental income.
Build Wealth with Bonds
Bonds have been around for a while, and there are various types for investors to purchase. Corporate, municipal and federal bonds provide investors with three options. When purchased wisely, bonds can build more wealth. Treasury bonds are traditionally considered the safest of the three bond options for investors.
Consider Cashing in on Commodities
Making an investment into products that can be sold is another great option. Investing in commodities can lead to a huge influx of money. This influx may take time, and regulations can always change in relation to what can be sold and how it can be sold. If unable to purchase commodities alone, solo investors should consider teaming up with friends or family. Pooling together resources to make a commodities purchase can lead to increase financial assets. Commodities experts can also be employed to handle investments on any of the great commodities out there.
Commodities for Investors to Consider
- Agriculture – Examples: Corn, Wheat, Pine Trees, Soybeans
- Energy – Examples: Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Solar Panels, Fuel
- Livestock – Examples: Milk, Chickens, Eggs, Cows
- Metals – Examples: Gold, Silver, Copper, Steel
Make More with Mutual Funds
With active and passive managed style mutual funds, investors can pick the right type of mutual fund to meet their financial goals. By providing money to a group of investors, money is put into several activities with hopes of diversifying revenue streams. Like any financial investment, there can be a risk. However, mutual funds are considered less of a risk because of their diversity.
Index funds are a type of mutual fund that investors may want to seek out. Through dividends and interests, funds paid out to investors will often fluctuate based on the ever-changing market. Shares of index funds can also be sold within the funding pool.
Find Opportunities in Exchange-Traded Funds
While mutual funds are priced at the end of the day, the price and availability of exchange-traded funds moves throughout the day. They are purchased and sold through the stock market.
Exchange-traded funds make for a wise choice for any investor that has the time to monitor markets and make on-time actions. For those that don't have the time to monitor them, consider employing an expert to assist in the process and maximize the investment.
Certificates of Deposit for Anticipated Investment Return
For up to $250,000 investors can purchase a certificate of deposit (CD). CDs are low-risk choices that yield anticipated outcomes. They can be purchased at pretty much any bank out there.
They are a great investment for advanced planning. Principle and interest are returned after a set amount of time. They are also insured by the FDIC. Even if something goes wrong with the market and a bank collapses, the CD is still good and legally protected.
Secure More Money with Stocks
Investing in stocks has many benefits. When used wisely, stock owners can be provided with dividends from shares of a company they own. Stocks can also be sold.
The stock market changes quickly, so it is important to watch the stock market closely. It may be wise to employ the services of a stock market expert to maximize stock market investments.
Accrue More Wealth through Annuities
Annuities allow investors to buy a contract with an insurance company. Periodic payments from the insurance company will follow. Timelines for annuities can be life-long or fixed.
While they traditionally do not yield a high return, they are turned to usually as a financial accessory. They are a common element and part of the mix with many successful retirement plans.
Reap the Benefits of A Retirement Plan
Retirement plans are a more general investment, but they do not lack specific actions that can be taken to build more wealth. Investors may choose between work provided retirement options, which can be a 401(k) or a 403(b) plan. They can also turn to financial planning experts for other types of retirement plans.
A well though-out and strong retirement plan will likely incorporate many, if not all, of the investment options mentioned previously. They should be diverse and able to still provide financial gains, even if the market goes in a downward direction. It is never too soon to begin a retirement plan. Start as soon as possible.
These nine investment options all provide unique benefits. Their specific functions, regulations and uncertainties need to be examined. Make sure to do plenty of research before making an investment, and if able, employ the services of an expert.

"Based on their valence-shell electron configurations, which of the following species would you expect to have the lowest ionization energy : a) c2+, b) c2, c) c2-?"
How does the valence shell electron configuration of a,b, and c determine the ionization energy?

Re: 6th edition 4.67
The higher valence shell, the lower the ionization energy. This is because the more inner shells there are, the more the valence electrons get shielded from the electrostatic attraction of the nucleus. Electrons close to the nucleus have a higher ionization energy than electrons further away.

Re: 6th edition 4.67
The one with negative charge would have the lowest ionization energy because it gain one additional electron which is easy to lose. And the one with positive charge would have the highest ionization energy because it has already lost electrons to get octet structure and it is hard for it to lose one more electron.
