Maple Ridge transgender athlete becomes advocate for other teens
Fear he couldn't play hockey kept a teenager from making transition.
Megan Stewart, Special to The TIMESPublished: Friday, May 17, 2013
Cory Oskam looks like your typical teenage goaltender. His broad, fleshy frame fills a net and even in the gym for ball hockey, he positions his five-foot-eleven body to stop shots as if he's wearing voluminous padding.
His movements are deliberate and calm. When his teammates score the deciding goal after the school bell has rung, the boys scream, fist-pump and pile on each other to celebrate their heroics. Oskam, composed, looks on.
He plays midget house for the Ridge Meadows Minor Hockey Association, but two seasons ago, Oskam was a goaltender for the Vancouver Angels, the city's only hockey association for girls. Two seasons ago, Cory was Anneke, a girl not comfortable in her body because she felt like a boy.
Cory Oskam, who plays midget house for the Ridge Meadows Minor Hockey Association. wears Cory Schneider's retired hockey pads. The gear is signed by the Canucks goaltender, who is also the trans teen's namesake.
Dan Toulgoet
"I was stealth," he said. "No one knew I was trans. My teammates didn't know until... they still don't know, probably."
Oksam came out a week before Christmas 2011. He stayed home from school for two days while his classmates at Britannia Secondary learned about gender non-conformity, transitioning and transgendered people. They were told the girl they knew would return to school a boy.
He had the support of staff, teachers, and the school district. Students with questions were encouraged to approach a counsellor.
He said he hasn't experienced any discrimination. "I've been treated the way I want to be treated - as a male. I don't think anyone has treated me differently because I'm trans or because I'm transitioning," Oskam said.
"There was one little song that was a bit transphobic, but we cleared that up."
He was asked few questions, but one kept coming up: "What's going to happen in the locker room?"
Oskam said the answer was simple. "He's male and he'll be in the male locker room."
When jock talk is mindlessly punctuated with homosexual insults and the word "gay" drops into conversation as an insult, Oskam speaks up. His friends and some classmates do the same when given the opportunity.
"All my friends are girls and I was more outgoing and I kind of led the conversation, whereas in the boys locker room, I just sit there and change," he said. "They're funny enough that I laugh but they're also just kind of stupid sometimes."
He doesn't shower but instead heads home after games before completely undressing. He behaved differently among girls than he does with boys, who are boisterous, familiar and not generally as mature as Oskam, who has become a self-possessed and articulate advocate courageous enough to speak publicly about his experience.
He has delivered workshops and spoken at different events. He delivered the keynote address last Friday at the ninth annual International Day Against Homophobia, hosted by QMUNITY, B.C.'s queer resource centre.
For the occasion, he bought his first suit. And he shaved, he said.
Organized sport is also making a transition. NBA veteran Jason Collins became the first active professional male athlete to announce he is gay, and the NHL supports You Can Play, a campaign to eliminate homophobia from hockey.
Next month Oskam will attend an LGBT sports summit in Portland sponsored by Nike.
And the association that governs high school sport in B.C. made it possible for gender-variant athletes to play on the team of their choice. B.C. School Sport bylaws now states, "A student-athlete may participate with the opposite sex in a sex-segregated sport on the basis that doing so would be consistent with his or her gender identity."
Oskam said this latest development may open the door for him to play a sport he previously shied away from, like basketball or badminton. He delayed announcing his transition because he worried being transgendered might prevented him from doing what he loved.
"The one thing that was stopping me from transitioning was hockey. When I wanted to transition, when I wanted testosterone, I wanted to play girls hockey. I wanted to be male, use male pronouns, but play girls hockey," he said. "My friends were there. I was really good at girls hockey. I played rep. I was up in the top."
Gay role models like Collins defy the stereotype that hold back young athletes like Oskram. Indeed, Oskram is also an inspiration to others.
At age 9, he started taking hormone blockers, "which are practically like a pause button to give you time to think about who you want to be and which gave me time to think about who I wanted to be and I definitely didn't want to be female."
When his family moved to B.C. from Ontario, his mother Nicole Sequin, a midwife, sought a community that would accept her gender-fluid child, one who chafed at dresses and pleaded for superhero-patterned underwear. They moved to Commercial Drive. Oskam was always attracted to girls and preferred male pronouns. His gender and sexual identity are fluid, he said.
"There's the spectrum of genders, male and female, and I flow between those two," said Oskram.
He began taking testosterone before his 15th birthday and never wanted to develop the secondary sex characteristics of a woman.
He would like to return to the Angels and play alongside his childhood friends. Regardless, competing at an elite or international level becomes complicated for Oskram because testosterone is a banned androgenic agent.
He has freckles and a narrow nose, deep brown eyes and wavy hair he wears like a 1960s Beatle circa "She Loves You." At the Britannia rink, where he trains in the school's hockey academy, he sat down for our interview still sweating from that game of ball hockey and wearing a Britannia Bruins t-shirt. His mellow voice deepened further with testosterone.
Oskram met one of his idols on his 16th birthday when he stood beside Cory Schneider to sing the national anthem before the Vancouver Canucks met the Calgary Flames at Rogers Arena Jan. 23.
He stood beside the Canucks goalkeeper, who is also Oskram's namesake.
The teen considered prototypical male names like William and Matthew, but chose Cory at the suggestion of his mom. Now when Oskram laces up the Vaughn goalie pads he wears, he has a very personal connection to the hockey gear formerly worn by Schneider. The pads are signed by No. 35, whishing Oskram a happy birthday and, "Great name!"
Schneider once wrote motivational messages to himself, which he taped to his pads where only he could read them. Oskram will soon trade in Schneider's retired pads for a pair of custom Brian pads, which he'll brand with his own motto.
"It's a quote I like," he said, "be yourself, change the world."

The Baylor Lady Bears raced through the regular season in the Big 12 with an undefeated record. They cruised through the Big 12 tournament unscathed and picked up the No. 1 seed in the 2012 NCAA women's basketball tournament. And now, after a dominating 80-61 win over Notre Dame in the national championship game, Baylor has completed the season with a national title to go with their 40-0 record. The Bears are the first team, men or women, with 40 victories in a season and stand as the seventh undefeated women's national champion.
The Bears were led by junior center Brittney Griner, who had her way with the basket on offense and dominated the paint on defense. She finished the night with a game-high 26 points on 11-of-16 shooting, 13 rebounds and five blocks, showcasing her talents exquisitely. Griner was helped on the offensive end with 19 points by Odyssey Sims and 12 by Destiny Williams to account for the bulk of the Baylor scoring. The Bears outrebounded the Fighting Irish 46-27, had a 40-22 advantage in the paint and shot 50% from the field for the game.
Notre Dame got into early foul trouble with Devereaux Peters picking up two quick whistles less than four minutes into the contest. Point guard Skylar Diggins notched her second foul with 8:18 to play in the first half. The Irish was led by the scoring efforts of Diggins, who finished with 20 points in the loss. Despite Notre Dame's best efforts to keep the game within striking distance, the Irish's 6-point halftime deficit bloomed to 15 after the Bears went on a 21-2 run. Baylor follows the Texas A&M Aggies 2011 championships to give the Big 12 consecutive titles.

At a town meeting this week, university President John Stobo said improving customer service was essential to putting Galveston's largest employer on a secure financial footing. Early next month, UTMB will roll out a plan to erase a $20 million operating deficit and create a 2 to 4 percent cushion. The plan will have to achieve that goal while keeping up with medical inflation that is running between 6 and 8 percent annually. The moves almost certainly will involve job cuts. They most likely will consist of some combination of layoffs, attrition and not filling open positions, Stobo said. « Back | The Newsroom »

Chicago Bears prepare to face 'really good' Arizona defense
The defense.
In preparing for their Sunday matchup at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, both Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith and quarterback Jay Cutler have taken note of what the Cardinals do to stop opponents.
"Aggressive bunch that has good stats to back them up," Smith said of the Cardinals.
Arizona ranks 11th in total defense, but fourth in passing yards allowed. The Cardinals' 36 sacks are tied for seventh in football, and their 22 interceptions are tops in the league.
Defensive coordinator Ray Horton's group has held elite NFL quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Matt Ryan to sub-par efforts, which is something Cutler has certainly taken notice of.
"Really good, really good," he said when asked what he's seen of Arizona. "Watching them on film, they throw a lot of different looks at you, they're not afraid to blitz you."
Cutler praised the Cardinals' secondary, linebackers and front four -- really the entire defense.
"So it's challenging, they're really good on third down and in the red zone and they force turnovers," he said. "All the things you want out of a defense."
Cutler comes into the game completing 60-percent of his passes with 17 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He's been hit a lot, though, and fumbled the ball seven times. His top target is the six-foot-four Brandon Marshall, who has already caught 107 passes for 1,398 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Marshall will be working against Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson, who is quickly gaining a reputation for being able to shut down the NFL's top wideouts. He helped to hold Lions star Calvin Johnson to a 10-catch, 121-yard effort in a 38-10 Arizona win last Sunday.
Peterson has intercepted seven passes this season, and has picked off one in each of the last four games.
"Good player, physical, really good ball skills, runs well, breaks on the ball well, tackles well," Cutler said of Peterson. "Brandon's had some big matchups this year, and this is going to be another big one for him."
Perhaps Cutler's coach put it best when he talked about Peterson's combination of size and speed to go along with quickness and a willingness to tackle.
"There's not much he can't do," he said.

How are hybrid clouds evolving to allow the coexistence of private and public clouds? What are the challenges to meeting a true hybrid cloud scenario?
Businesses large and small have been at times both seduced and confused by the grand promise of the cloud. But when they talk about "hybrid cloud," they are really just seeking the flexibility to utilize the cloud as an extension of their own data center. They also want levels of openness, transparency and ease of use - previously unattained in the enterprise - where production workloads can be easily mobilized, centrally managed and protected.
Companies considering hybrid cloud - moving applications to the public cloud - are finding that the journey is complex. What are the challenges? To accomplish this movement, production workloads need to be easily mobilized, centrally managed and protected to interoperate with, and reap the benefits of, the public cloud. But production workloads today are not easily mobilized - they're "silo-ed."
Workloads are silo-ed by the hypervisor, be it VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix Xen or Redhat KVM. Workloads simply cannot move between these hypervisors easily. They are also silo-ed by hardware, with "vendor lock-in" to a specific brand of hardware making it difficult to move workloads for applications like disaster recovery and data migration. Workloads are also silo-ed in clouds. Cloud providers often use proprietary infrastructure and tools, making them incompatible with other clouds.
So where can enterprises turn?
The hybrid cloud is interesting to IT departments and CIOs worldwide because it allows for cost reduction, bursting, server migrations, disaster recovery, and data portability. Gartner estimates that 70 percent of enterprises will pursue the hybrid cloud by 2015. Unlike the public cloud model, hybrid cloud diverts far more control to the IT department, allowing for greater flexibility and easier manageability of workloads. But how does a hybrid-cloud-based datacenter avoid or remove the datacenter silos?
For the hybrid cloud to reach widespread adoption and remove these silos, we need to see the development and adoption of an underlying infrastructure layer that allows for seamless flexibility of data and applications across clouds, hypervisors, networks and hardware - a cloud fabric of sorts that would enable portability of data across any environment.
In his session at 14th Cloud Expo, Gil Levonai, VP of marketing and products for Zerto, will address the concept of a cloud fabric, how the big vendors are approaching hybrid cloud and how close we are to seeing real uptake of hybrid cloud.

Hardware will never be more valuable than on the day it hits your loading dock. Each day new servers are not deployed to production the business is losing money. While Moore's Law is typically cited to explain the exponential density growth of chips, a critical consequence of this is rapid depreciation of servers. The hardware for clustered systems (e.g., Hadoop, OpenStack) tends to be significant capital expenses. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mason Katz, CTO and co-founder of StackIQ, to discuss how infrastructure teams should be aware of the capitalization and depreciation model of these expenses to fully understand when and where automation is critical.

Over the last few years the healthcare ecosystem has revolved around innovations in Electronic Health Record (HER) based systems. This evolution has helped us achieve much desired interoperability. Now the focus is shifting to other equally important aspects – scalability and performance. While applying cloud computing environments to the EHR systems, a special consideration needs to be given to the cloud enablement of Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA), i.e., the largest single medical system in the United States.

Most of today's hardware manufacturers are building servers with at least one SATA Port, but not every systems engineer utilizes them. This is considered a loss in the game of maximizing potential storage space in a fixed unit. The SATADOM Series was created by Innodisk as a high-performance, small form factor boot drive with low power consumption to be plugged into the unused SATA port on your server board as an alternative to hard drive or USB boot-up. Built for 1U systems, this powerful device is smaller than a one dollar coin, and frees up otherwise dead space on your motherboard. To meet the requirements of tomorrow's cloud hardware, Innodisk invested internal R&D resources to develop our SATA III series of products. The SATA III SATADOM boasts 500/180MBs R/W Speeds respectively, or double R/W Speed of SATA II products.

As more applications and services move "to the cloud" (public or on-premise) cloud environments are increasingly adopting and building out traditional enterprise features. This in turn is enabling and encouraging cloud adoption from enterprise users. In many ways the definition is blurring as features like continuous operation, geo-distribution or on-demand capacity become the norm. NuoDB is involved in both building enterprise software and using enterprise cloud capabilities. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Seth Proctor, CTO at NuoDB, Inc., will discuss the experiences from building, deploying and using enterprise services and suggest some ways to approach moving enterprise applications into a cloud model.

Cloud and Big Data present unique dilemmas: embracing the benefits of these new technologies while maintaining the security of your organization's assets. When an outside party owns, controls and manages your infrastructure and computational resources, how can you be assured that sensitive data remains private and secure? How do you best protect data in mixed use cloud and big data infrastructure sets? Can you still satisfy the full range of reporting, compliance and regulatory requirements? In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Derek Tumulak, Vice President of Product Management at Vormetric, will discuss how to address data security in cloud and Big Data environments so that your organization isn't next week's data breach headline.

Enterprises require the performance, agility and on-demand access of the public cloud, and the management, security and compatibility of the private cloud. The solution? In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Simone Brunozzi, VP and Chief Technologist(global role) for VMware, will explore how to unlock the power of the hybrid cloud and the steps to get there. He'll discuss the challenges that conventional approaches to both public and private cloud computing, and outline the tough decisions that must be made to accelerate the journey to the hybrid cloud. As part of the transition, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service model will enable enterprise IT to build services beyond their data center while owning what gets moved, when to move it, and for how long. IT can then move forward on what matters most to the organization that it supports – availability, agility and efficiency.

Every healthy ecosystem is diverse. This is especially true in cloud ecosystems, where portability and interoperability are more important than old enterprise models of proprietary ownership. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mark Baker, Server Product Manager at Canonical/Ubuntu, will discuss how single vendors used to take the lead in creating and delivering technology, but in a cloud economy, where users want tools of their preference, when and where they need them, it makes no sense.

F1 boss predicts 2014 title will be decided before double points finale
F1 boss predicts 2014 title will be decided before double points finale 8 April, 2014 When it comes to the loud criticisms of Formula 1′s new 'double points' innovation, Bernie Ecclestone simply points to Mercedes. The Formula 1 chief executive said he proposed the extra points for the Abu Dhabi season finale to add spice to the tail-end of a championship fight. But even though he dreamed it up to prevent the sort of early title conclusion seen last year with Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull, Ecclestone admits double points will not be enough to stop a Mercedes triumph in 2014. 'It (double points) won't be necessary this year because the championship will be over much earlier than...

An engineer once told me this joke: A spider asked the centipede, "You have so many legs; how do you coordinate them all to walk?" The centipede pondered this question for a while, then a while longer, and longer; and the centipede never walked again.
Many industries are buried in data to the point that it overwhelms the traditional approaches to process monitoring and root cause analysis performed by process experts. Yet, human process experts can often develop a "sixth sense" about even the most complex processes...but, like the centipede, they may not be able to provide any insights on how they accomplish this feat...
Guest-authored by Linda A. Winters-Miner, Ph.D., of Southern Nazarene University in Tulsa, this mini-tutorial comprises excerpts of two tutorials from a book to be released this summer titled Practical Predictive Analytics & Decisioning Systems for Medicine by Winters-Miner, Bolding, Goldstein, Hilbe, Hill, Nisbet, Walton, and Miner (2014).
The first part is the introductory text from a tutorial (F-2) that concerns weight loss, which was authored by Winters-Miner (2014). The second part is a tutorial (J-2) that concerns the medical condition Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC), which was authored by Khichi, Parsons, and Winters-Miner (2014).
It is hoped that, by combining some aspects of both tutorials here, this mini-tutorial will provide the reader some understanding of the practical utility of WoE and automatic binning processes.

Las Plagas are Eldritch Abominations.Of all the various viruses and Applied Phlebotinum in the series, it's generally Las Plagas or their derivatives that actually cause the most insanely rapid mutations, often seemingly creating new mass from nothing. Las Plagas also were "sealed away" beneath the Salazar castle for centuries or more, and have a cult devoted to their worship. Anyone else smell Lovecraftian abomination?
Ada was Ingrid Hunnigan
Umbrella never toppled.By RE4, Umbrella has since ceased to exist, who's only remembered for setting of one of the worst tragedies and genocides in human history. If this is so, then why are First-aid sprays so readily available? Someone is obviously making more, because even medicine deteriorates over time. It can't be that The Merchant simply obtained a surplus, because they would have been useless by the time Leon, his best customer, came to the area. Umbrella either still exists as an underground company, or is owned by some mother company. Either way, Umbrella could technically go about its research, so long as no one ever found out about them AGAIN.
The merchant in RE4 is a Ganado of the Chaotic Good typeThere's some evidence to this idea. His skin seems to have the same complexion as a Ganado villager, at night his eyes glow like a Plaga-carrying Ganado, and he seems to have a thing for violence (He can't be carrying all them guns just to look pretty), what with him selling guns to Leon. But rather than trying to use all of this weaponry to blast a hole in Leon, if not supply the Ganados with enough weaponry to put the UBCS to shame, he seems to sell them to Leon for varying prices. Not only that, but he gladly accepts any treasure from Leon for cash. It could be some sort of glitch in the Ganado possession programming which rendered the merchant(s?) not exactly evil, since he doesn't try to kill Leon, but not exactly good either, since he chuckles evilly when Leon buys off of him. The Ganados seem to pay him no mind, since he's still alive wherever Leon goes.
The Merchant is the real Big Bad of the entire series...and he makes his profit by selling any random stranger ridiculous guns at a high price, using any other guns left over to blow the sucker away while they're not looking, loot the guns back and sell them to the next traveler, keeping both guns and money. Rinse and repeat. Leon is just too smart for that, which is exactly why the Merchant chuckles evilly when Leon buys things off of him; he considers Leon a Worthy Opponent of some sort. But his Master Plan to take over the world involves taking this de facto currency and bringing it into circulation, and in some massive Artistic License - Economics moment, throws the entire world (or at least Spain)'s economy into chaos.
The Merchant had a Control Type Las Plagas in him.This explains why enemies do not find him, cause he just uses the control Plagas to Jedi Mind Trick them into seeing nothing. Were he to give orders to the Ganados, then the other controllers such as Saddler and Salazar would notice that their minions were going off track. However, since Leon Kennedy killed all the controllers in Spain, The Merchant is free to use the remaining Ganados as he sees fit.
Leon became aware that Ada was Not Quite Dead before the events of RE4Think about it. When they meet in Salazar's castle for the first time, Leon says "So it is true. You are working for Wesker" rather than expressing surprise at seeing her alive despite seeing her die. Noting that one works for Wesker isn't a natural response to meeting for the first time someone you believed (and saw) died. There are many theories to this. For example, the Leon A scenario could be canon and a bit of Leon hoped and thought that Ada could still be alive. Or the both of them could have communicated offscreen, with Ada sending Leon a message that she was alive and in Wesker's payroll. Perhaps the denial overrode acceptance and won out in the end, since in RE2's Leon B scenario, what appears to be Ada throws a Rocket Launcher to Leon to help destroy the Mr X-type Tyrant. Or in fact, canonically, Ada NEVER did die in the first place, but Leon and Ada split up during the laboratory segment and they didn't meet again til RE4.
Mike from RE4 was a Transformer.Come on, it's so obvious! We never see him leave the chopper. When you actually get a good look at the chopper, there's no one inside. It also explains why Leon is so upset. You see, Leon was excited because he was going to get some help from an alien super-robot, but Saddler killed Mike before he was actually helpful! Leon didn't really care about saving Ashley after that, he was just trying to get revenge on Saddler for destroying his robot friend. In addition, Mike was supposed to give Leon the name of a good bar, but he was destroyed before he could. No one comes between Leon and his alcohol.
Jack Krauser didn't use Las PlagasHe was just so incredibly manly he decided to mutate.
The Merchant stole a shipment of weapons intended for Saddler.Given the size and advanced technology of Saddler's facility, it's a bit suspicious that he has to rely on medieval weapons with the exception of a small number of chainsaws, miniguns, rocket launchers, and cattle prods. Ganados are clearly intelligent enough to operate modern firearms, and there's no way that what he was up to wouldn't come to the attention of the government. When the Spanish army comes to investigate, he wants some weapons. The Merchant, on the other hand, has a massive stockpile of big guns and the devices to upgrade them. It's likely that Saddler obtained the weapons from some sort of black-market dealer, but the Merchant stole it during the delivery, intending to sell it either to Saddler or a terrorist organization such as ETA or the IRA at a profit. However, the deal went sour; luckily for the Merchant, there just happened to be an American government agent with a lot of treasure in the area.
The Merchant is Ganados v 1.0When Las Plagas was first being experimented with, the first version made its victims invincible and free-willed. But clearly, the fact they were infected with a virus that did no favors for their complexion didn't go over too well with many of the victims, and they attacked. That's why there's a machine that removes Las Plagas, so the suckers could be killed. The Merchant was a camper from England who escaped after Saddler killed his beloved wife, Leslie, so he decided to assist anyone who came through by selling them stolen guns. He also used to work for Saddler, and thus knows many shortcuts to beat you to wherever it is you're going. He's invincible, so you can't kill him, and he planted the typewriters, and stole your dashed-off apocalypse log, later publishing them as a successful novel.
The Merchant is "That Dog."The merchant is a shapeshifting entity, roaming the forests of Notspain, and assisting those in need. For fighting against the Plagas, he was eventually caught and imprisoned by a bear trap, in wolf form, at the beginning of the game. Along comes a friendly American, who proceeds to free him. As repayment, the Merchant conjures up a bunch of weaponry and assists said agent in his mission against the Plagas. He also assists Ada, for her helping Leon. *He was the chicken in Ada's introductory scene.*
Leon's strength as shown in RE4 comes from the Plaga in his bloodstream, until it is removed.He spends the whole time, from very early on in the game, infected with a Plaga parasite. It explains how, after waking up from being passed out and tied up to Luis, he can kick the guy with the ax with enough strength to fly into the wall, breaking the ganado's neck in the process. It also explains how he can injure a ganado so severely with a kick, while a handgun does less damage.
The Island in Resident Evil 4 is one of the smaller of the Canary Islands.The Canary Islands may be part of Spain, but they're also off the coast of Africa. If you pay attention to the enemies, particularly J.J., you'll notice that there's a mix of Spanish and African appearances.
Leon and Ada have been in a relationship between Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4.When you play as Leon, Ada will occasionally leave letters and notes around for Leon. She seems to have kissed them. Let's Play has a walkthrough that points out that those two only knew each other for a day six years ago... Unless it was during the time-skip. It also would explain how Leon isn't going, "OMG!!!1!1! I THOUGHT YOU DIED!" instead saying how he knew she was working for Wesker.
Leon is the victim of The Dulcinea Effect.That would explain such romantic undertones between Leon and Ada when they honestly (canon-wise; or at least Let's Play-wise) only have seen each other a couple of times in several years.
The Merchant's torch is a Ganado repellent.He never gets attacked by the things, even though he's just around the corner most of the time. What other reason can there be besides the aforementioned "he's one of them" theory? If you shoot him once, he dies like a human would (with the exception of every important character in RE). That pretty much trashes that theory... However, every time you meet him, he has the blue fire in his torch and you don't see him getting attacked by Ganados (on screen). Sure, he gets displaced in the Castle one time, but he never gets injured by the cultists. Rather, he simply moves upstairs behind a barred door while keeping the fire close to make them squirm. In conclusion, the Merchant has found a plant or chemical that, when burned, makes a smoke that repels the Ganado in the general area.
Ada in RE4 is a cloneWell, think about it. Did you guys see Ada's ending in the earlier games? She seemed very adamant that she was not going to use the name Ada Wong anymore. And yet, she was still Ada Wong when RE4 rolled around. I'm thinking the Ada in RE2, while she did as she needed to, could have been killed by Wesker because she allowed people (Leon, Ada, and Sherry) to escape, leaving witnesses who could tell the government what Umbrella was doing. But at the time, he didn't have anyone better, but he didn't have the resources to make the serum that he had in RE5, so he used Ada's DNA to try and create an obedient, willing version of Ada, which is the Ada in RE4. But that Ada was still too much like the original Ada, and as soon as she was off the island and safe from the explosion, she tried to run away with the Plagas sample to stop Wesker from hurting, if anyone, Leon. However, he caught her and killed her quickly, taking the Plagas sample with him, explaining the presence of the Plagas in RE5 and the lack of Ada in the same game.
During RE 4, the president of the United States is Billy Graham.
The true location of RE 4.
The Merchant is The Atoner.Like Luis, he was once a scientist who helped Saddler in his experiments with the Plaga. Upon seeing his experiments in action, he was horrified, and decided to take matters into his own hands: by amassing a small army's worth of guns and equipment. Though he was infected with the parasite in time, he managed to suppress it, nullifying its personality-changing effects (and, incidentally, Saddler's control over him). Who knows, he's probably engaging in a one-man guerilla war against Saddler when you're not buying things from him. If it wasn't for his efforts you'd be drowning in Ganados.
The White House is infested with zombiesThe White House was attacked by zombies prior to Ashley's capture (clearly not Ganados, because Saddler was planning to do something like that on his own), and Ashley thinks they still might be there, which was why she was willing to pay Leon extra to exterminate them. After all, Leon's job at that point is basically running around shooting b.o.w.'s while guarding Ashley; what else would "overtime" mean?
The Merchant is Leon from the futureThis probably explains how he knows where Leon is going to end up. He places his torches up at the RIGHT spot where and when Leon is about to show up. When he passes by Ada, he doesn't have his torches set up properly so he can't upgrade any weapons. ((The torches might be the reason how the Merchant can upgrade weapons. NEW ones that is for Leon's case.)) Keep in mind, both Leon and the Merchant have the SAME VOICE ACTOR. He hides his face so that way his past self wouldn't recognize him...uh...self. When Leon kills the Merchant, he doesn't DIE. Because if he did then why does he keep popping up? It's the SAME Merchant. ((Or Leon doesn't really kill him in the main canon.)) How he can survive getting mine throwered in the face might be possible because...uh...I got nothing. His reasons for being there is to aid his past self because in the end, Leon LOSES control because the plaga took over his body. ((Why the Merchant had red eyes. He is infected with a plaga but was able to break free from its control)) In the future, Leon breaks free and wakes up in a world ruled by Saddler. He goes back in time with weapons of mass destruction with a lone, BUT in order to supply his past self with stronger weapons he needs more money. That is why he charges his past self.
The Merchant's torches allow him to suppress Las PlagaOkay, we all know he is infected someway or somehow but for some reason, the Merchant isn't like any of the other Ganados. So perhaps he burns some special herb or stone that releases a light that appears blue to our eyes but to the Merchant it lets him suppress the parasite or somehow stops it from reaching adulthood. Or maybe the herb/stone's smoke allows him to suppress it. Thus, the Merchant keeps his willpower but also has the glowing eyes. Additionally, Luis' pills are made from the same stone/herb and doesn't need to be burned to be effective. As for why the torches aren't lit in Ada's campaign, the Merchant has a limited amount of the herb/stone he can burn so he only burns it when he needs to. Just like how Leon waits until he strangles Ada before popping the pills. Ada somehow always catches him just before or after he uses the torches and Leon always catches him while he can feel the plaga growing.
The Merchant is a Time LordYes, a cliched WMG, but bear with me. The Merchant is a Time Lord who got infected by Las Plagas, but due to his alien origin, he is affected more slowly/differently than a normal human. The Shooting Galleries are his TARDIS that Leon inadvertedly walks in, and that would explain why he can appear anywhere carrying a enormous cache of weapons. He can get killed by Leon, but regenerates offscreen (and he is always covering his face, so you don't notice) Why he is not attacked by the Ganados? They cannot see him thanks to a perception filter.
Saddler is over 500 years oldJust think about it: There is no mention of a predecessor and the cult was founded some time before the Spanish Inquisition. During said Inquisition, Los Illuminados was nearly wiped out. Nearly. How does a small cult survive throughout the centuries without their brainwash-bugs at their disposal? Their leader survived. He somehow managed to keep himself unnoticed and even managed to amass a fortune. Those tons of weapons, soldiers, battleships, researchers, technology and that private island don't pay for themselves. Also, look at his Plaga-form. Saddler's form looks far more different from the rest of the Dominant Strain-carriers. Mendez, while friggin' huge, stays relatively small compared to Saddler. Salazar just cheated and merged with the Queen Plaga and his remaining Verdugo. But Saddler's huge Combat Tentacles come right the fuck out of nowhere, just look at the scene where he kills Luis with his giant killer tentacle wang. He also seems way more in control of his transformations (as evident in his fight with Ada). The anwser? Over the centuries he has practically become one with the parasite and the parasite has prolonged his lifespan. Plaga are resilient mofo's. They even survided being fossilized (well, more or less through spores).
Leon was right. This IS an alien invasion!In the castle, you can find notes Luis made whilst studying Las Plagas, comparing it to other parasites. One thing most of them have in common is that they influence their hosts' behaviour, usually with the objective of being eaten by some other creature. This is why Los Illuminados wanted to take over the United States- so that they could lure the target(s?) to Earth and pass the parasite to them. TL;DR: Las Plagas are Tyranids.
Saddler was tight with Dr Tongue.How in HELL else can Saddler have Dr. Salvador/The Bella Sisters be so resistant to gunfire? Dr. Tongue's Chainsaw-Wielding Mooks can take rocket launcher rounds like it's nothing, but he never figured out how to make a chainsaw a One-Hit Kill to Zeke/Julie. Saddler overheard that problem he was having and tried to make his Hockey Mask and Chainsaw Mooks a One-Hit Kill. The problem was that the process Saddler used made them more Glass Cannon than Dr Tongue's Stone Wall types.
Assignment Ada takes place in an Alternate Universe.In the plot of the game, there was only one Plagas Sample, that Ada took and gave to Wesker. But during Assignment Ada, there are five. And also in the actual plot, Ada blew up the island after securing that sample. So it isn't like she could just waltz in and find five more for Wesker.

Sirocco Marine, manufacturers and importers of inflatable boats, have opened their new showroom on Waterway Drive, Coomera, directly opposite Gold Coast City Marina.
Sirocco Marine North is Australia's largest all-inflatable showroom. From the new outlet, Sirocco Marine North will retail the full range of inflatable craft which include the Sirocco RIBs, Air Hull boats, the Lite/Roll Up models and the Sirocco Sports.
Sirocco's imported lineup from the European Brig group includes four Falcon sports boats, and four of the glamorous Eagle RIBs, ranging from the E340 (designed specially to fit Aussie cruisers) to the top of the line Eagle 645, a 50-knot craft designed as a tender for super-yachts.
Manager of the new 500 sq metre facility, Dylan Lopez, said, "Traditionally, inflatables have been considered only as 'project tenders'. "Now-days they are seen as another lifestyle component. The kids love them, you can water-ski or wakeboard behind them, they are now also a 'full-on' leisure-craft accessory, as well as a very important safety feature to the big boats".
Dylan also intends to retail from the showroom top-name sports clothing and general boating accessories.
The new showrooms are at:
Unit 14, 175 WaterwayDrive,

We really enjoyed our four-night stay and will definitely return. Everyone was accommodating, courteous, helpful, and it's a very cute throw-back-in-time establishment.

Happily, it seems there are some efforts underway to ensure that doesn't happen. We will just have to wait and see to find out if they work. It's not a sure thing but I am more optimistic than I was a year ago.
The needs of painters can be met by technology that has, more or less, existed since the Bronze Age and peaked in the 17th century!
