Timbuk2, the original San Francisco bag company has introduced for the 25th anniversary a new Classic Messenger Bag. Built for efficiency and versatility the new Classic Messenger is more durable and comfortable with ample space for your belongings. In addition, the new Classic Messenger is available in Timbuk2′s Custom Bag Builder to personalize the bag made to order in SF. I had a chance to build my own bag and must say the experience and end product is fantastic. Having somewhat of a bag fetish I have several bags for different purposes work to travel and for camera gear. The Timbuk2 Classic Messenger is a great solution for most of my day to day needs. Starting with the Custom Bag Builder on Timbuk2.com you are able to select the size you want from XS to Large. I elected for a size Small as it fits up to a 15″ MacBook Pro and I wanted a bag that would carry the bare essentials and remain lightweight. Items like headphones, Sigg water bottle, notebook and more fit with ease. The next step is the fun and creative part in selecting the various fabrics and materials to customize the 3 panels of the bag. Fabrics and materials include endurance nylon, performance materials and fabrics such as waxed canvas. The customization options are endless and with an assortment of colors offered it makes it easy to make a one of a kind masterpiece. For my bag I wanted to focus on functionality and durability. I selected to use waterproof polybond material for the outside panels and added woven reflective material for the center. I often travel and pack my bags with electronic items such as a laptop, camera or hard drives so the waterproof polybond fabric that is tarpulin backed was a great option. The finish is a nice smooth matte that is also easy to clean. The reflective nylon has specks of reflective material woven throughout, which I liked as it serves a dual purpose and not only looks good, but also has a function to be seen in the dark for example if I was to ride my bike and had the bag on my back at night. Just one extra safety measure. For colors I wanted to keep it simple on the exterior. So black was the choice. I didn't want to go too fancy or stand out too much especially if I was to use the bag for a business meeting. I also elected to use black for the binding color. To keep things clean I also went with a black on black look for the logo, but many options are available. The interior liner is where I decided to add a pop color and chose aquamarine for the simple fact that I liked it as well as it adds extra visibility to the contents inside when searching for something quickly. Additional design and options are available for the interior. You can keep it as an open space or add things such as a water bottle pocket and laptop sleeve. The existing pockets are great for things like your wallet, keys, cell phone, etc. I went the extra mile and added the camera insert, which easily slides into the pocket converting the messenger into a discreet camera bag. The exterior of the bag can be modified even further by adding a grab strap for ease of handling and portability. Timbuk2 has gone the extra step and can build your bag if you are right or left handed for more ergonomics. A custom shoulder strap pad can be added in various materials for the outer and has an air-mesh pad for additional comfort and support. I chose to match my strap material to the waterproof polybond exterior of the bag. After building and placing the order on the website it was a very quick turn-around for the custom bag and I received it in about a week. Which is incredibly fast considering they are each handmade in San Francisco. Overall, I'm very pleased with this bag and the custom bag builder program. The quality of the bag is great with the endurance nylon that provides higher tear strength and water repellency. The bag is easily adjustable for comfort and the organization inside gives plenty of options for storing your goods. Check out Timbuk2.com for more info and to build your own bag.

My new USB HD became READ ONLY and now Windows 7 will not format it.
go to registry, do this and do that, get a HP program that will reformat big drives, it is a permission problem, etc.
Nothing has worked. I finally re-CLONED it and now want to recover the drive.
It is a Fantom 2tb USB HD,
I copied from various HD data and put about 1.7tb on it. I turned it on to use and it was READ ONLY in the control panel/administrative tools/computer management/Disk Management. I tried everything and it was alot form the net. Finally gave up and Cloned it to another one which had a duplicate "uniqueid" but that is another story.
Decided to format it. But Windows, home premium 64bit (image from this site) refuses to format.
The net said, download HP Disk storage USB format tool. That did not work, says is WRITE PROTECTED.
The net said to change the Registry, all bits were "not protected"
ANYONE have the answer? This drive is only 2 weeks old and can not change READ ONLY, cant get rid of WRITE PROTECTED, Can not format. Please do not say it is a permission issue as I think permissions is a folder/file issue. Not an disk issue and no, it has no buttons on it but is a std Fantom disk enclosure.

taking suggestions to see if can re-format a this thing.
Any idea why Windows made this READ ONLY at the disk level? I used windows COPY folder to create but when used it later, it was READ ONLY. It did not report a 'collision' either.
When you went to permissions, the owner was EVERYONE, EVERYONE had read and write and nothing looked amiss at all. But Windows made it READ ONLY on the DISK MANAGEMENT and even the Registry had all zero's for permission to write. Weird.
And of course, if Windows thinks it is read only, it will let you touch it under any window program.
Tried DISKPART but it says "is write protected". Now going to the boot-able standalone programs.

2. "Everything OK" featuring Jack Davey
3. "Super Dooper U"
4. "Above Crenshaw" featuring Cashus King

Carnitine Core utilizes the naturally- occurring amino acid l-carnitine to ramp up support for your metabolism, turning your body into a fat-burning machine.*
Carnitine Core doesn't just help support burning fat, it helps turn it into energy, giving your body an awesome energy source when you need it most.* With increased metabolism, you can burn even more fat, turning that fat into energy and increasing your performance in the gym.* Added Raspberry Ketones support the energy boost, giving you the edge you need and putting you closer to the results you're after.* In addition combining ingredients like l-carnitine and Raspberry Ketones work synergistically from a weight management perspective, and may help promote lipolysis - converting stored fat to fatty acids and fat oxidation - and the burning of those fatty acids.*
L-CARNITINE is a naturally-occurring amino acid which plays a vital role in the metabolism of fat.* It can help promote good health and energy levels and may help support the release of stored body fat, called triglycerides, into the bloodstream to be used as energy.* L-Carnitine has also been suggested to support increased peak power, as well as helping to reduce lactic acid build-up in the muscles.*
N-ACETYL-L-CARNITINE is the ester form of L-Carnitine, which is a naturally occurring amino acid metabolized from Lysine and Methionine.
L-CARNITINE-L TARATE is quickly becoming a very hot supplement these days, and what is so amazing about LCLT is its versatility. LCLT has been suggested to support muscle gain and healthy body composition.*

3DS discount sparks retail price war
The Nintendo 3DS price war kicked off today in anticipation of tomorrow's global trade price reduction, with the handheld now being offered as low as £115. The company has slashed the 3DS price by around a third, after a failure to meet initial sales targets. While the cuts have already come into effect in Japan, the rest of the …
at that price i will be banging on the door of tesco in the AM to still not buy one.... but i do need some fresh milk !!
BlurryVision (tm)
Why would anyone pay £15 more for a 3DS, when it comes with BlurryVision?
Also as someone at work said "screw that, it doesn't work with R4..."
The days of Nintendo being able to sell crap hardware with no decent games (outside their own) because they have a cutsey image have long gone. Consumers have woken up that they have been sold and resold the same crap for years, and most of it sits in the cupboard gathering dust...
Remove the region lock and ability to brick it remotely...
... and they might get somewhere.
Now that's more like it.
Seems like a worthy successor to the original DS Lite I have here with the dodgy shoulder buttons. Now I just need £100-odd quid to throw away on a toy. Maybe next month!
Game stiocking up from Tescos
Why not, Special Reserve used to do it around christmas when I worked there (Such a long time ago) as it costed more to get consoles, games, dvds from a distributors. When they slapped maximum buys on them though it did make it a bit harder.
A third?
Looking at those prices they're dropping more than a third with the Tesco price at half the original cost! £260 for a 3DS at launch from Game because they wouldn't let you pre-order in store without taking one of their 3DS + game(s) packages down to £145 now. I think this is the first time I've seen a price drop in £ that is MORE than the price drop in $. We're seeing almost £100 cheaper whereas it's about $60 in the US.
I'm more than a little annoyed, I don't care if they felt it necessary. I'm far from happy about their offer of some ancient NES and SNES titles that will cost them very little to push out..
Battery life of the 3DS is poor
I mean really poor - 3 to 5 hours for a handheld? the DS lite is 15 to 19hrs (http://ds.about.com/od/nintendods101/a/nintendo3dsspecs.htm) which to my mind makes it rather pointless unless you have a socket available virtually everywhere you go,
I would say the DSi nor DSi XL are better machines unless you really need 3D.
Lots more here: http://uk.gamespot.com/forums/topic/26841039
still undesirable for one serious issue
battery life is still craptacular. Until that's addressed, I'll save my interest for the DSXL. Still going strong with the DSLite, and the original DS I gave to a friend still going strong.
Price is key...
.. for me, and that's why I might go down and buy one tomorrow.
Although of course
as soon as an R4 card for this makes a debut, sales will pick up.
Battery life sucks, yes...
Which is why I've ordered this:
Maybe those enterprising Chinese could throw together a couple of good games for it, too?
(The only good game so far is Zelda, and that's a Rehash of a rehash of the original Zelda: Ocarina of time. And yes, I have that for the N64, and the rehashed version... )
I'm tempted, but I have a DS Lite and I don't play on that much now (I used to use it quite a alot when I was commuting on the bus, but not so much now as I drive to work and don't really have much time to sit and play with it).
However if the upcoming Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright game is released on the 3DS over here then yes, I will buy one, but probably around Christmas time (actually I might buy one for the wife and borrow it).
Costly failure
Sadly it's dead. It doesn't work with it primary market the kids as they have a restriction on the under 7's due to the 3D. 3D itself is just a fad anyhow, so it wasn't a great idea for them to push that way. And all it's good for is Nintendo's own games. While ok for the kiddy market which it doesn't work with, the games are not appealing to the mass market.
Even my niece recently got a cheap £90 Android phone recently (didn't think it was a good idea to be honest giving a 10 year old a smartphone but hey ho, the whine factor for you!) and that has now totally replaced her old DS. Namely as the games are free to a couple of quid, against the DS which costs more for the device, costs hugely more for the games, and you have to go to a shop for the game as opposed to click, buy, play. A phone also holds a choice of games as opposed to needing a pocket full of cartridges. And it does browsing and other applications far better than Nintendo have managed.
Frankly, the hand help console market business model has shifted and Nintendo haven't adjusted to it as yet.

Home » Rhyno » Pay Per Views
Real Name
Terrance Gerin
Date of Birth
October 7, 1975
Place of Birth
"Even CM Punk, he was champion for 400 plus days. He only main evented pay per views when he was wrestling John Cena."
November 2, 2013
There are talks that Vince McMahon could be making his return tonight at the Hell in a Cell pay per view to get involved in the story line between Big Show and Triple H.
October 27, 2013
It has been revealed that John Cena will be wearing a protective sleeve to protect his injured arm during his Hell in a Cell match against Alberto Del Rio.
October 27, 2013
Since his company is folding and he is joining the Great Muta in Wrestle-1, there are talks that Tajiri could be making an appearance in TNA very soon, as the two companies have been working closely together nowadays. Tajiri still has some name value due to his stint in WWE, and he has a connection with characters like Rhyno, Bully Ray, Tommy Dreamer and Devon.
July 6, 2014
Another name that has popped up in the rumor mill as a candidate to join Jeff Jarrett in Global Force Wrestling is Rhyno. The veteran performer still is booked fairly frequently on the independent wrestling circuit. He has remained in good shape and would bring some familiarity to GFW, especially with older wrestling fans. Rhyno worked with Jarrett in TNA.
May 6, 2014
A picture of Rhyno and Kevin Nash together at a convention recently.
April 12, 2014
"It's definitely tough, it's always been tough, but it all lies down to the individual, we're all individuals and we all have choices whether we can work for a promotion or not. It's a little easier for me, because I've got a name and reputation and I've built a small little brand with my name and wrestling ability and being on TV for over 13-14 years, so it's a little easier for me. It is very difficult for independent wrestlers, but some aspects of it, it's easier now to get your face out there for independent wrestlers because of social media. Back in the day, when you're poor and living in your car, you don't have $10 to print up an 8�10 and put together a 15 minute clip on a VHS tape and then pay $5 to mail it out. Now it's just click click on your smartphone and then send the link to a promoter and it's easier for a promoter to look you up. Back when I started, if you were sending a package out, it cost you $20 and it was tough to get your name out there back then. It's easier now for a guy to just click a couple of links, put the match together and send it to a promoter and that costs you nothing, just time." - Rhyno discusses the professional wrestling business
March 12, 2014
Things were a little hectic for Rhyno during Wrestlemania 2005 weekend. At the after party for the event, Rhino got into a huge argument with his wife, which was witnessed by the other wrestlers and company officials. Things escalated to the point where WWE decided to release him from his contract a few days later.
April 9, 2005
Chris Benoit shocked the wrestling world when he was able to win the Royal Rumble and earned himself a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania. He was successfully able to eliminate the Big Show to win the match.
January 25, 2004
Rhyno became one of the many people who were left unemployed by the sad closing of ECW, but it did not take long before the former heavyweight champion found another gig. He was picked up by WWE, who was looking to add a ton of depth to their roster. Rhyno made his official debut for the company on Monday Night Raw, joining real life friends Edge and Christian.

Pandisc prez Bo Crane knows the music biz. Bo knows hit records. And boy does Bo know how to toss a pah-tay. It's not Bo's fault, either, that "Swelter" wasn't around to chronicle these fine adventures, although a crew from Wire brushed in, then ran screaming out the door after it was suggested they might want to photograph New Times' notorious Jim DeFede, cracked reporter and South Beach nightlife fixture. Nor was it Bo's fault that the great Blowfly failed to show up ("He knew about this weeks ago," boss Bo said during the affair). Plenty of other legends were on hand, including Henry Stone, Bo's old mentor and one of the architects of the modern music business. Crane tossed the soiree to celebrate his new digs in South Beach, where the hip-hop oriented label relocated recently from North Miami Beach. Miami's DJ Laz and Tampa's DJ Freaky Fred battled for best jacket, but a really nice guy whose name I forgot to write down won with a quilted UM thigh-length he says he bought at Flea Market USA. The hired cops forgave my drug-reference indiscretions. But the highlight was constant and overflowing -- catering by Senter & Chess that wouldn't quit. Attractive, tuxed young people brought out tray after tray of tasty morsels (yes, including cheeseballs) and the beer was icy cold Tsing-Tao, Peroni, and Kronenbourg. This schmoozing stuff is all right. Hey, Tom Austin, any time you need a substitute....
"I love Dick," sings $andy Kane lustily, and one can only presume the D is capitalized. Erstwhile New Yawk comic Kane has set up sex shop in South Beach, where she's currently cutting a six-song Greatest Tits cassette at Chris Blackwell's place. The current cassingle is "I Love Dick" backed with "$ymphony 4 Dick." You know I'm a sucker for this stuff, so, while the tape is available all over the Beach and at Tracks, I'll suggest another marketing device to randy $andy: Send a copy to Neil Rogers. The music will grab him, the song is not nearly as "dirty" as standards-and-practices might assume, and Neilo is going to grow tired of talking about the Fish and disco sooner or later. After that, Ms. Kane, show us your live show.
This column might not have many readers, but they're definitely the best. Word: Just last week we tossed out a line for an old live tape of the Front at 27 Birds. Orestes "O.D." Dominguez called minutes later to offer us a dub of the show, which took place September 6, 1982.
Short report: WMBM is happening. There's the Music Is Medicine music show (where Blowfly was a guest recently), Silly Jilly (that's your dis, miss) Tracey's Morning Madness, et, so choose freedom and check it out at 1490 AM. Rooster Head has been killed by santeros, wait, that's not right -- the Head plays Squeeze with the critically unacceptable Forget the Name on Sunday. The Edge has just begun staging local acts on Friday nights, giving the bands a chance to play before enormous audiences, some members of which might even pay attention. An evening with Mary Karlzen and friends Diane Ward, Vesper Sparrow, Mark Scandariato, Jim Baumann, and Jonelle happens next Tuesday at Stephen Talkhouse, free.
TV tip: Legendary radio comedy troupe Pandemonium appears on Iris Acker's On Stage on Channel 17 Friday at 8:30 p.m. with rebroadcasts Saturday at 5:00 p.m. and January 1 at 11:00 p.m. It'll be funny.
Just-married (congrats) Charlie Pickett will jam at Churchill's Hideaway next Wednesday, the 30th, so all you hotshots should bring your gits and gear, and the rest of us will be there to hear.
Without getting into the soap opera, let's just note that Kilmo and the Killers are returning for shows Saturday and January 9 at the Inn Field Pub in Sunrise, January 1 and 2 at Grandstands in North Lauderdale, and January 8 at Rosey Baby in Tamarac.
So, okay, have your lame self a merry freakin' Xmas, but I ain't having any part of this b.s. about love the world only one week a year, even if Fink Boy says my religious evaluations and presumptive philosophical meanderings are invalid as a vegetable:
1) The Blarney Stone in Homestead is a blues stronghold, a nice place run by decent folk. It was hit hard by a hurricane. And now the owners are losing their lease. But the Blarney managers aren't crying in their beers and singing the blues. They're staging the biggest blues party ever, February 5-7, featuring Mr. Twister, Cumin Around, Big Bob and the Blue Tornados, Good Rockin' Johnny and the Wiseguys, D.C. Blues, Electric Fred and the Head First Rhythm Section, the Bounty Hunter Band, the Fabulous Fleetwoods, Fleet Starbuck, Jimmy Hawkins and the Cylcones, Super Dave, Triple Threat, Little Sister Cathy, Iko-Iko, Killer Keith Whalen, Jimmy "Catfish" Hunter, Buddy Miles, Big Art and Wendy Pederson, the Breeze, Kilmo and the Killers, Southern Reach, Roach Thompson Blues Band, Whiskey on Ice, and others yet to be confirmed. All are volunteering their talents. They'll play on two stages, inside and outside, around the clock. There'll be other diversions, too. The idea is to raise some money so the Blarney can reopen in a new building. The Blarney has always supported charities and the community. Time for a pay-ya-back.

Bogs Women's Classic High Handle Waterproof Winter & Rain Boot

Related Womens Rubber Rain Boots Products
Living in New England I've wanting to find a versatile boots that I can wear in snow, rain, slush and mud. All the others I have tried (and I've looked at dozens of boots in the past few months, like Kamik, Sorel or Muck Boots) were either too heavy, too clunky or not high enough. These are THE BEST! I can wear them in the rain, the snow, the slush, the mud and they keep me warm and dry. I'm most likely going to get myself another pair I can't get enough of them! BEST BOOTS I'VE BOUGHT!
Easy to get on; lower portion waterproof for rain or light snows, still able to wear warm socks. Material making up upper portion fits over large calfs from years of running and exercise.
I actually bought these for my wife, she loves them. She wears them every day! A great shoe for slipping on real fast to get the mail, she wears them to the grocery store, she wears them just about everywhere. They are so nice I decided to buy a pair myself, however they don't have my size available just yet. Hurry up Amazon get some 13's in stock so I can get a pair. We also have freinds on a farm that wear these for chores, they love them also.

Gagging order on G-Cloud suppliers dropped this Sunday
I thought G-Cloud was the name of Google's online cloud storage service.
Stupid public sector always inadvertently making their own services more difficult to find or use because of it's ambiguous or non-recognisable name.
If it's a service to do with procurement of IT stuff and is accessible by the Internet and Telephone they should have called it something catchy but unique, like "iPhone".

Symantec: 'NetBackup 7.5 speeds backup 100X'
Cuts 25-hour chore down to 15 minutes
Some of the latest updates to Backup Exec do that too, by refusing to back things up that it's been happily doing for months previously.
Cabinet Office moves step closer to killing Directgov
Personally I think the direct.gov.uk site is incredibly well-designed and is extremely clear and easy-to-use.
I also don't see the sake of updates for the sake of updates - for example, Gmail's latest "new design" has made the interface half the speed of the old one, and has included mystery meat navigation on the buttons. Progress? Nope. Because they wanted to? Yeah, probably.
I like the use of the unit of currency called "OPM". That's quite appropriate. For £1.7m I'd make the government a fucking awesome website. Shame this one's popped up.

Kodak heading to Chapter 11
David Allen did a bit on this sort of thing
He of GTD fame said that, once, a company who made precision drill bits couldn't fend off cheap competition from China, so they re-focused their business. Did they make drill bits? No, they were in the market of making excellent holes. What else can do that? Frickin' lasers.
The company was reinvented and became very successful.
The same should have happened here. Are Kodak in the market of making film? No, they're in the market of producing great quality photos. The printer thing should have been completed by a digital camera thing (much firmer than the one we were subjected to) and a scanner thing, and a data storage thing, and an online archive thing, and a sheet-feed photo-scanner-archive thing, and a ... you get the idea.
For the company to stare at the writing on the wall for *this long* ... as someone else said, they deserve all they get.

Apple accused of starving French reseller of hot stock
When will people stop thinking that Apple (like many other BigCo's) don't give two hoots about other companies and are only put on this earth for two things:
1. To make as much money for themselves as possible
2. To make as much money for themselves as possible
Strictly speaking that was one thing, but I felt it was so important I should iterate it twice.
Companies like creating profit, especially margin-hungry Apple who have already had a history of shitting on distributors and resellers (http://goodbadstrategy.com/wp-content/downloads/GoodStrategyBadStrategy_Preview.pdf - search for "distributors"). If you don't like the way the company behaves, STOP PROPPING UP THEIR BOTTOM LINE AND VOTE WITH YOUR FEET.
If enough distributors/resellers stop putting up with being shit on Apple's jesusPhone will become harder to get hold of and the popularity of the handset will plummet in competition with its easier-to-come-by rivals (WP7 and Android).

The Great Smartphone OS Shoot-out
"Dialling by number is a novelty nowadays"
There are too many points in your post to make me think that you don't know what you're talking about. I'm going to list some of the things that I think you're horrendously wrong about:
- I'm used to the full QWERTY keyboard, so why suddenly switch to a three-characters-per-key keypad for a specific task?
Because it's faster if you're walking/driving/finger-poking/performing another one-handed activity. You can just T9 the first few letters of the contact's name and voila, it's almost as if you've dialled a four-digit number to get to your friend.
- Dialling by number is a novelty nowadays
Tremendously wrong here. Dialling by number can be faster than looking the person up in the address book if (like the article author) you have 300+ contacts in your address book.
Also, since you go on to say you "just want to talk", hiding the dialler is also a very bad idea.
- I don't understand how the Blackberry look up by contact is different to the iOS version?
With a Blackberry, if you are at the home screen, you just start typing the person's name or start dialling the number you want to dial. E.g. if you type in "andr" it will show you Andrew Smith and James Andrews, and you just finger-poke the contact to then perform an operation (dial, text, bbm, etc).
- Until any smart phone has an SLR-like instant-on camera, they should all be scored low. The delay is just inexcusable.
It's almost as if you are comparing a CAMERA to a PHONE. Weird. And I'm sure the purpose of this article is to compare a PHONE with a PHONE.
- Likewise, all should get low scores for their walled gardens.
You mean as in SMS? The world we live in has many, many different messaging protocols. The article is, again, comparing the out-of-the-box experience of handsets. All of which at a very basic level support SMS, MMS and Email - none of which (AFAIK) are "walled-garden" protocols.
- Flash is subjective

Now that Android et al can do all the things a blackberry can *for the home user* I think their time in the home-user market is limited.
As mentioned above by M7S@12:33 it is going to be difficult to switch the large enterprises away, but as an owner of an Galaxy S II and a Blackberry Bold 9700, both of which are connected to an Exchange server, the Android wins for functionality whereas the Blackberry wins for remote-manageability. Want assigning to a new mailbox? No problem - try doing that on an Android remotely though.

Blink is the lightning-fast game where two players race to be the first to play all of their cards.
Using sharp eyes and fast hands, players quickly try to match the shape, count or color on the cards.
How To Get Started
Open the box, shuffle the cards and create two equal draw piles. Place one draw pile in front of each player, take the top card and place it face down between the players – make sure that these cards are accessible to both players. Each player then takes the three top cards from their draw pile and looks at them; now you're ready to go! The game starts when the two cards placed face down between players are simultaneously flipped over.
How To Win
Players race to play cards from their hand on either of the piles without taking turns. In order for a card to be played it must match at least one of the characteristics, color, shape, or count, of the card on which it is being played. For instance a card with four yellow stars could be played on any card with yellow (color), or on a card with stars (shape), or on a card with four symbols (count). Be the first to play all the cards from your draw pile to win!
What's In The Box?
60 symbol cards and instructions for regular and quick play.
Fast and portable, Blink is instant fun for everyone!

Clovis Draconis March Militia
|Clovis Draconis March Militia
|Unit Profile (as of 3063)
|Parent Formation
|Draconis March Militia
[edit] History
[edit] Formation
In common with the other March Militias found across the Federated Suns, the Clovis Draconis March Militia or Clovis DMM was formed in 2754 as a result of the Preparedness Act enacted by First Prince Roger Davion in 2735. Roger established a formal training programme aimed at increasing the general readiness level of the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns reserve forces and formalized the structure of the March Militias, bringing the planetary militias into a common structure.[1]
Roger established a system whereby each of the Marches within the Federated Suns conducted internal wargames every two years, with those wargames being inspired by the Martial Olympiad conducted by the Star League Defense Force every four years. Each March Militia was formed as an ad-hoc brigade drawing on the winners from each planetary militia across each Combat Region. These ad hoc brigades then competed against each other at a March level to earn the title of "Best Prepared" March Militia within each of the three Marches.[1]
The wargames proved to be very popular and by 2750 the prestige that was associated with the "Best Prepared" title inspired troops in every combat region to give their best effort, with some commands making plans years in advance to try and ensure that they were ready. After the close of the 2754 games First Prince John Davion activated all of the combat region commands as federal troops and formed them into the March Militias; while this move was contraversial and provoked a flurry of judicial cases opposing the creation of the commands, it also added twenty BattleMech-equipped combat commands to the AFFS in a single stroke. Many of the planets that provided troops for the games were resentful of having their best militia troops pressed into federal service, and it would be 2763 before the last of the cases worked its way through the courts. With the final ruling going in favor of Prince John, he then moved to allay many of the fears expressed by the planets involved by laying down specific instructions that the March Militias wouldn't be deployed outside their home combat regions except under a small number of very rare and clearly-defined exceptions.[1]
Firmly established, the Clovis DMM acted as a mobile reserve for the Clovis Combat Region and a staging ground through which planetary militia soldiers could move on into the AFFS, while retiring AFFS personnel moved into the March Militia to pass on their knowledge and experience.[1] The Clovis DMM was one of six March Militia brigades founded within the Capellan March in 2754, with the other five being the Dahar, Fairfax, Kilbourne, Robinson and Woodbine Draconis March Militias. In 2765 the Draconis March Militias were engaged in March-wide wargames involving neighbouring games to determine which was the best March Militia in the command; two of the Militias were out of the running, and despite the Fairfax DMM being widely tipped to win, the Clovis DMM was still in the running, much to the surprise of observers.[2]
[edit] First Succession War
On the 1st of May 2787 the Draconis Combine launched a massive invasion of the Federated Suns, with the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery troops under the command of Jinjiro Kurita, son of the Coordinator. Jinjiro had learned from the battles on Towne earlier in the First Succession War, and had recognised that inter-arm co-operation between the different branches of the Federated Suns military had largely been replaced by rivalry, and that the various Combat Regions across the Federated Suns had become dangerously parochial, with units being very protective of worlds within their Combat Region but the staff of the various Combat Regions rarely co-ordinating or co-operating with each other. Jinjiro's forces took full advantage of that; his first wave attacked worlds along the border, overwhelming many before they had a chance to call for help. Each of the Combat Region commanding officers attempted to deal with the attacks on their own, focussed completely on the defense of their own Combat Region with little exchange of information between Regions. Jinjiro's second wave capitalised on this, striking in force against the Clovis Combat Region; despite a dogged, fierce defense by Field Marshal Simons and forces directly under his command such as the First Clovis Guards Regiment on Clovis he was cut off and, after a week, killed when his DropShip attempted to retreat from the planet. The loss of Smith caused organized resistence in the Clovis Combat Region to collapse, and before the other senior officers within the AFFS had realised what happened, DCMS forces poured through the Clovis Combat Region and deep into the heart of the Federated Suns.[3]
It would be thirty years before the AFFS had finally recovered and fought its way back to something approximating the pre-War border;[4] the risk posed to the Federated Suns as a result of the entrenched parochialism and seperation between Combat Regions highlighted the weaknesses of the system within the Capellan and Draconis Marches, leading the Marshals of the AFFS to restructure both Marches, replacing the Combat Regions with a number of smaller Polymorophous Defensive Zones (PDZs), each with its own March Militia.[5]
[edit] Third Succession War
The Clovis Draconis March Militia defended the Kentares PDZ. As could be expected, the soldiers of this unit had a burning hatred for the Draconis Combine. They participated in the fighting on Galtor, replacing the 12th Vegan Rangers after the mercenaries were ordered off-world.[6] There they supported the 4th Crucis Lancers, Bremond DMM, and Robinson DMM as they faced the 2nd Galedon Regulars, 8th Galedon Regulars, and 2nd Amphigean Light Assault Group.[7]
[edit] Clan Invasion Era
Whatever specialties the unit had during the Third Succession War were long gone by 3060. Multiple unit members were brought up on charges of conduct unbecoming a member of the AFFS in late 3059, or discharged from the unit completely.[8] As one effort to get the unit under control, a new set of general officers was assigned by the High Command. This resulted in several death threats against the new commanders.[8]
[edit] FedCom Civil War
During the FedCom Civil War the Clovis DMM attacked several Draconis Combine worlds. They were destroyed on Kentares IV by the 3rd Benjamin Regulars as part of the DCMS Reprisal.[9]
[edit] Officers
Command of the Clovis DMM changed hands several times from late 3062 to mid 3063.
Romil was replaced as CO later that year by Leftenant General Jamil Bruning when the DMM was ordered to garrison Kentares IV. Bruning's command did not last long. He was assassinated in late 3062 by an unknown agent who had been sending Bruning death threats for the past year, due to Bruning's questionable loyalty to the AFFC's leadership.
After Bruning's two senior-most officers were also assassinated, command of the DMM passed on to Leftenant General Jackson Pory. Pory was arrested and relieved of duty in November 3062 for questioning the orders of his superior, Lord Marcus Roland. Roland then assumed direct command of all military forces on Kentares, including the Clovis DMM.
Roland and Pory were arrested by Ian Dresari in April of 3063 and the leaderless Clovis DMM was folded into the newly formed Kentares DMM, personally led by the recently appointed Duke Ian.[citation needed]
- As of 3025 the Commanding Officer was Major General Nicholas Clement VIII.[10]
- In 3050 the unit is commanded by Leftenant General Aileen Lugo.[11]
- As of 3054 the Commanding Officer was Leftenant General Bring Bruning.[12]

I would have love to see one of the "Van Gundies" coaching the Wizards, but I understand why Wittman is getting a shot. They Wizards won't be contenders for awhile, even with a big name coach, so what's the worst it could do?
UPDATE: If The Wizards Are With Wittman, Why Not Give Him The Respect?
[UPDATE: It seems the Wizards are actually working on bringing back Wittman for two seasons, per reports. There's also a quote from a "source" via the Post's Michael Lee that this is "completely a money decision." And while I won't deny that the financial situation could be a factor, to say it's "completely" about money, whomever is saying that, is B.S. And who is saying that anyway? An agent because a job opportunity for a coaching client isn't open like they had hoped? Maybe, maybe not, but B.S. nonetheless, at least in this writer's opinion.]
We've heard enough hints about Randy Wittman returning to coach the Washington Wizards, wiped free from the interim tag, that we really don't need a national report, according to league sources, from ESPN's Ric Bucher to tell us so.
"…even though no official announcement is expected anytime soon," concludes Bucher's first sentence announcing Washington's plans to retain Wittman.
On May 24, the Washington Post's Michael Lee wrote:
A source with knowledge of the Wizards' thinking recently described the situation as "an ongoing process," adding that the team has no timetable to make a decision. Wittman and his assistants are still under contract for next season, lessening the urgency. But the silence – and lack of aggressiveness in pursuing other potential candidates – has raised speculation amongst agents and rival league executives that they all will be brought back.
Lee also quotes a source who says, "Hey, I could be wrong."
Ted Leonsis even cooed over Wittman on draft lottery night:
Randy is under contract. The entire staff is under contract. The most important signals to me, was in all the exit interviews, to a man, everyone thought that Randy did a fantastic job. So that gave me confidence that I should interview and I had a quality day with Randy. And we still talking through some things and I feel very, very comfortable that when Nene has been around and a John Wall, both say this was a coach that treated us the right way, respected the game and we listened to him.
So, why the wait to make this official? What's the hold up?
Is this a slow-drip IV of pixels to gradually diffuse fans who will no doubt express their frustration over the Wizards not going after a Jerry Sloan, or a Nate McMillan, or a Stan Van Gundy, (or a Jeff Van Gundy)?
Some fans are already getting online antsy from Bucher's report. They shouldn't be, but they are.
Wittman should be back. The man deserves a chance in D.C. The only argument that can be made against Wittman is his past record as a coach (118-238 all time as a H.C.), but that is irrelevant to what he's done with the Wizards. Players have responded to him, and look, he's been around some of these guys for all of their careers — Wall, Booker, Seraphin. Why wipe the slate clean with a new, old-school coach? (I won't use this space to knock Young/Blatche/McGee per usual, but if there's ever a reason(s) why Witt deserves a chance…)
I'm with Witt. And the Wizards should be too.
Hell, it looks like they are. So why wait to make a formal announcement?
Due diligence? Are people on vacation?
The Wizards need to end the Internet speculation by uncapping the plug on their coaching-decision constipation.
Wittman, by all means, respects the game of basketball. Now it's time to respect him and make it official.
But, that's just me… What do you have to say about it?

I would have love to see one of the "Van Gundies" coaching the Wizards, but I understand why Wittman is getting a shot. The Wizards won't be contenders for awhile, even with a big name coach, so what's the worst it could do?
Judging by the amount of minutes Wittman gave Jordan Crawford, I thought Wittman did a pretty terrible job. And for that reason alone, I don't agree with bringing him back.
Plus, if opposing teams hadn't rested their top players in the last month of the season, I question whether anyone could justify bringing Wittman back. The guy got his team to play well against other team's second stringers. That's hardly an accomplishment.
But the reality is there is a such a huge talent gap between the Wiz and the rest of the NBA that I don't think anyone could be successful with this group.
Give me Sloan, Witt or Hubie Brown (yes i Said Hubue Brown…the real reason Memphis is relevant)…my have coach is adelman but obviously he is not available. No one else though…Shaw wouldn't fit since he is a triangle disciple and that conflicts with our most talented player (Wall)…
@kyle- yes all those guys are better options. Even throw in Shelvin Mack at the 2.
Crawford is a shooting guard who can't shoot and is a liability on defense. I fail to see how any of the alternatives mentioned are a worse option.
Im glad you wrote about this guys. Was reading that hack Lee's post on my mobile and was going to comment on WP.
Where is the hometown appreciation for a guy earning a shot the old fashioned way? Why must the WP clowns continue to try and fabricate a story about this being a "money" decision. They of all people should know how Ted operates. Character, commitment, work ethic. Randy showed it and got it out of the team. Thats why he's here. Not because Ted wanted to save a few million bucks on a coach.
They continue to report with an agenda – to create a story versus reporting intelligently. I wanted to throw my phone when I read that story. Screw the Post, do me a favor and trip Lee next time you see him suckling espn's teet in the press box.
The Van Gundys micromanage every possession and generally their teams play at a snail's pace….not a fit with the Wizards personnel. I agree with Jarem….Adelman would be a perfect fit. Hubie Brown or Jerry Sloan would be almost perfect. Wittman is ok in my mind, but that's about it. I just wonder how many guys have been successful in their 3rd head coaching oppurtunity after 2 failed opportunities…that's my hesitation with Wittman.
