The Windows Azure Platform is the Microsoft cloud computing platform. It is comprised of several components:
Some examples of where to use it include:
The Fabric Controller controls all of the servers running in Windows Azure. To deploy code, you have to tell the Fabric Controller how you want the code to be hosted. Roles are server templates for your code to run in. There are three server templates, or roles, that you can use to host and run your code.
All roles are stateless in nature. While changes can be made to your server at runtime (under some circumstances), all changes will be lost during a reboot or a server move.
When you deploy a role, you determine how many servers should run that role template. These are called instances. You control how many instances are running and what size they are.
You select the size of the instance for your role in the ServiceDefinition.csdef file. While you can dynamically change how MANY instances you have, you cannot dynamically change the SIZE of your instances.
The sizes available follow a similar pattern, with one exception. All dedicated cores start with Small instances. This is one dedicated CPU core with about 2GB of RAM. The next three sizes just double the number of cores and RAM available.
They are Medium (2core/4GB), Large (4 core/7GB), and Extra Large (8 core/14GB).
The one exception is the new Extra Small instance. This is a shared core, running at 1GHz with 768MB for RAM. It is much cheaper than the other sizes.
Configuration of your cloud application is handled with two separate files:
A deployed application can include several roles. Instances of each role are created by the Fabric Controller according to your ServiceConfiguration.cscfg file. You can change how many instances you want by changing the config file. Each role in your application can have a different amount of instances assigned to it.
When you increase the number of instances (perhaps during a busy period for your application), the Fabric Controller will bring it online. This will not impact any of the other already running instances. Bringing an instance online takes about 10 - 20 minutes.
When you decrease the number of instances (perhaps the busy time has passed), the Fabric Controller will select some instances to be stopped. The OnStop() method of your RoleEntryPoint class (typically found in webrole.cs) will be called once the server has been taken offline, but before it is shut down. This will give you an opportunity to clean up any last-minute issues before the instance is fully terminated.
You can configure each role to allocate a certain amount of local storage. This will be storage space located on the server instance itself. You can define how much space you want to allocate, and you can configure more than one allocation per role.
Local storage is most often used to allow for legacy code that needs to use the local file system to work. The limitation is that it is considered volatile; any data put there is likely to be lost in the event of a server move or restart. You should only put data in local storage that you can lose. Most applications will rely on the Windows Azure Storage system (blobs, queues, and tables, which are explained later in this Refcard).
You must declare local storage in your ServiceDefinition.csdef file. This sample defines a 20MB storage area named "TempFiles". This local storage area will be cleaned out if the server is rebooted.
<LocalStorage name="TempFiles" cleanOnRoleRecycle="true"
sizeInMB="20" />
When your instance is started up, a folder will be created for you with a storage limit set to what you defined in your configuration. You will need to get a reference to the path this folder was created in.
LocalResource myStorage = RoleEnvironment.GetLocalResource("TempFiles");
String localPath = myStorage.RootPath;
From here, you can use the localPath variable as a path in your normal file-handling code.
Roles can declare endpoints so that they can receive network traffic. Web roles have a single endpoint configured with HTTP over port 80 as a default. You can also enable an endpoint for HTTPS over port 443.
A worker role doesn't have any endpoints defined by default. There are two types of endpoints.
<InputEndpoint name="Endpoint1" protocol="tcp" port="10000" />
<InternalEndpoint name="Endpoint2" protocol="tcp" />
You reference both endpoints in a worker role the same way. You have to create a serviceHost and then configure it at runtime by reading the RoleEnvironment configuration to get the endpoint details.
RoleInstanceEndpoint myInputEndPoint = RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.
/MyService", myInputEndpoint.IPEndpoint));
The IPEndpoint property of the RoleInstanceEndpoint class represents both the IP address and port number of the endpoint.
Windows Azure Storage provides three ways to store your unstructured data: BLOBs, queues, and tables.
All three forms use the same backend infrastructure. They are all accessible through the .NET Storage Client Library (provided with the SDK) or directly with REST. Because you can access all storage with REST, the code using the storage doesn't have to be running in Windows Azure. It could be running on a phone, in a browser, or on a server in your data center.
Windows Azure stores all data in triplicate. When data is written, a response is not returned until two replicas write the data successfully. The third replica is written asynchronously.
All data lives in a storage account, which can contain any combination of storage types. A single storage account can hold up to 100TB of data and has an account name and two account keys. The account name is like your user name, and the account key is like your password. You should never share these with anyone.
If you are using the .NET Storage Client Library, then you can store your credentials in your ServiceConfiguration.csdef and it will be automatically picked up.
<Setting name="DataConnectionString" value="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;
AccountName=[YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME];AccountKey=[YOUR_ACCOUNT_KEY]" />
<Setting name="DataConnectionString"/>
The first object you will work with is CloudStorageAccount. This represents the storage account you created in the portal and contains the credentials needed to use storage. From the storage account, you create a client object. There is one type of client object for each storage type.
BLOB stands for Binary Large Object. You can think of BLOB storage as a file system in the cloud. A storage account can
contain any number of BLOB containers. Each container is like a root folder. Containers do not contain child containers.
A container will have one of several different access levels set:
To connect to and work with BLOBs, you need to create a CloudStorageAccount object and then a CloudBlobClient object. This will let you get a reference to a BLOB container, which is like a root folder. All of the storage client objects have you get references to objects before they are created in the cloud. For example, you will make a reference to a container and then call container.CreateIfNotExists() to create the container. To upload a file, you would create a CloudBlockBlob object from your container reference and then call one of the upload methods. As an example, use the following code to create a container and upload a local file.
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure;
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient;
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime;
CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.FromConfigurationSe
CloudBlobClient blobStorage = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
CloudBlobContainer container = blobStorage.GetContainerReference("mydocs");
CloudBlockBlob blob = container.GetBlockBlobReference("birthday.mpg");
Windows Azure Storage queues are very similar to queues you have probably used before. They are most commonly used to communicate from a front-end server to a back-end server. Queues are very handy in decoupling the front end from the back end of your system.
Queues allow you to send small 8KB messages from producers (commonly the front end) to consumers (commonly the back end). Queues are First In, First Out (FIFO). The first message in is the first message out.
Queues can store an essentially unlimited number of messages at one time. A queue can have any number of producers submitting messages and any number of consumers taking messages.
Because of the size limitation of a queue message, you will usually use a work ticket pattern. You will store the real data to be worked on in a BLOB container, or a table, and put a pointer to the data in the message.
Messages go through a specific lifecycle in the queue. A consumer will read a message and provide a timeout (defaults to 30 seconds and can be as long as 2 hours). The queue will mark the message as invisible and lock it for this period of time. Before the timeout expires, the reader of the message must call back with a delete message command. If it doesn't, then the queue assumes the consumer has failed, cancels the lock, and marks the message as visible on the queue again.
To work with a queue, you need to create a CloudStorageAccount and a CloudQueueClient object to manage queues and messages. To connect to and create a queue:
CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.FromConfigurationSe
CloudQueueClient queueClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudQueueClient();
CloudQueue q = queueClient.GetQueueReference("newordersqueue");
To add a message to the queue, you simple call the AddMessage method of the queue object and pass in the string value of the message you want to send.
CloudQueueMessage theNewMessage = new CloudQueueMessage("shoppingca
To get the next message off of the queue, you simply call GetMessage. You can get more than one message at a time. If the queue is empty, GetMessage will return a null.
CloudQueueMessage currentMsg;
currentMsg = q.GetMessage();
Finally, to delete a message you have finished working with, call DeleteMessage.
You can have several tables per storage account. Each table can hold up to 100TB of data and is meant for highly scalable non-relational data. Each table is comprised of entities (like rows in a normal database), and each entity is comprised of many properties. Entities in the same table can have a different schema, giving Windows Azure tables a great deal of flexibility. Tables do not have any relationships with other tables; there are no joins or foreign keys.
Each entity in a table must have a RowKey and a PartitionKey property. These two properties together act as a sort of composite primary key for the entity. A property named TimeStamp is also required.
The entities in tables are grouped into partitions using the PartitionKey. Partitions are how the table service scales. As a particular partition becomes busy, it is spun out to a new storage server so that it has more resources to handle the requests. This could happen to all of your partitions at once, fanning out to different machines to make sure that the system is scaling to the demands put on it. Choosing a PartitionKey strategy is important when designing any tables that might require high performance and scale.
The RowKey is a unique row identifier for that row in its partition. Both the RowKey and the PartitionKey can be anything you want them to be, but it is best to keep them simple INTs or strings. Tables can be accessed directly with REST or through the .NET Storage Client Library. Tables present an OData endpoint, which makes it easy to work with them as a data source.
To work with tables, you need a few working pieces. You need a class that represents your data; and in most modern architectures, this is the data transfer object (DTO) or plain old .NET object (PONO) that has just properties (i.e., no methods). This class needs to inherit from Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient. TableServiceEntity and must provide for the RowKey and PartitionKey values.
public class ShoppingCartEntry :
public ShoppingCartEntry(int _shoppingCartID)
PartitionKey = "carts";
RowKey = _shoppingCartID;
public int CustomerID { get; set; }
public string Sku { get; set; }
public int quantity { get; set; }
The Client Storage Library uses WCF Data Services to work with Windows Azure Tables, which means you will need a context class. This is a class that sits between the entity class (shown above) and the table itself. This is like any other WCF Data Services context class. This class must inherit from TableServiceContext. This base class provides all the plumbing you need.
public class ShoppingCartDataContext : TableServiceContext
public ShoppingCartDataContext (string baseAddress,
StorageCredentials credentials)
: base(baseAddress, credentials)
{ }
public IQueryable<ShoppingCartEntry> ShoppingCartEntry
return this.CreateQuery<ShoppingCartEntry>("ShoppingCartEntry");
Once you have these two classes, you can start working with the data you have in your table. For example, we will add a shopping cart called aNewShoppingCart. To start, you need to provide a storage account and a data context object. You should keep the data context class around as much as you can instead of creating a new object on each call.
CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.FromConfigurationSe
ShoppingCarDataContext context = new ShoppingCarDataContext
(storageAccount.TableEndpoint.AbsoluteUri, storageAccount.Credentials);
context.AddObject("ShoppingCartEntry", aNewShoppingCart);
You must always remember to call SaveChanges on the context
object once you have made changes. If you don't, the changes
are never sent to the cloud.
A similar approach is used for updating data.
aNewShoppingCart.Sku = "31415";
You can batch many operations against the context object before calling SaveChanges.
Querying against the table is easy using the context object and LINQ.
var results = from g in this.context.ShoppingCartEntry
where g.Sku == "31415"
select g;
This will return a list of objects that have their SKU numbers set to 31415.
Windows Azure AppFabric is a set of services that help you connect and consume other services. It has its own SDK, separate from the Windows Azure SDK.
The Access Control Service (ACS) provides an easy-to-use authorization service for use in your application. You can use ACS instead of embedding code to authenticate users in your application.
ACS makes it easy to not only use your own authentication (by federating with your old on-premises identities) but also to authenticate against Google, Live, Yahoo, and Facebook.
Authentication tends to happen at the edge of an application, and authorization tends to happen in depth. Because of this model, it is usually easy to add ACS to your current authentication mechanism or to replace it outright.
The new code would authenticate to ACS and then produce the same output (a token, cookie, etc.) that your downstream authorization code already expects.
Another challenge with moving applications to the cloud is connecting them together with services or applications that are still on premises. A central key point to the Windows Azure platform is that you don't have to move everything to the cloud. It is easy to move only the parts to the cloud that make sense and provide ways to securely connect them to your on-premises components. This can be challenging at times because of network topologies. There are always a series of firewalls, proxies, and other networking gear that get in the way of this communication.
The Service Bus provides a way for any service consumer to connect with any service, regardless of network topology. A matching WCF relay binding is provided for almost every out-of-the-box WCF binding. By adding a new endpoint to your service with a relay binding, you will be publishing your service endpoint to the Service Bus in Windows Azure. Any service consumers that are configured to use this same relay binding will then be able to connect and use a Service Bus-based endpoint. bouncing a signal off a satellite. Both ends don't have to know how to reach each other; they just have to know how to reach the relay (or the satellite).
When services or consumers try to connect to the Service Bus, they have to authenticate with ACS to make sure that only people you want to connect are connecting with their services. Your service would still provide for whatever security concerns it might have.
SQL Azure is essential SQL Server in the cloud. While this is not a perfect statement, it is the shortest explanation.
A SQL Server usually equates to a physical server, and that physical server is hosting several SQL databases. With Windows Azure, your subscription can have one SQL Azure server, which can hold as many databases as you want. But this SQL Azure server doesn't really exist; it is a simulated SQL Server that manages your service and the databases you want hosted.
To all normal SQL Server clients, the SQL Azure server appears to be a normal SQL Server. The SQL Azure service runs thousands of servers and manages your databases across this swarm of servers, moving and maintaining them as needed.
Each database can be up to 50GB in size. Many see this as a limitation, but it doesn't need to be. Many on-premises databases soon exceed the amount of resources available to them (perhaps they grew too big for their environment) and soon have to turn to partitioning or sharding to manage this growth. You would use these strategies to overcome this apparent limitation. Microsoft has also raised this limit on database size several times and could do so again.
As with the data in Windows Azure storage, your data in SQL Azure is stored in triplicate. This ensures that there is always a safe copy of your data.
You can create the following editions of an SQL Azure database:
The only difference between the editions at this time is the maximum size of each database. In the future, Microsoft expects to add additional features to the business edition to provide more value.
Windows Azure does not provide any backup mechanisms for you. It does provide a highly available datacenter, but there isn't any cross-data center mechanisms for your data. There is currently no way to easily back up and restore your data. You have to rely on some other mechanisms to accomplish this. For example you could utilize the Bulk Copy Program (BCP) to copy your data once a night.
You could also use the Data Sync Service to synchronize your SQL Azure database with an on-premises SQL Server database over a secure connection.
Database Copy makes a transactionally consistent copy of your database. A copy (with a new name that you provide) will be made of your database on the same SQL Azure server. The copy can take a few moments to complete. This is a good approach to backing up a database before an upgrade, making it easy to restore in case of a failure or rollback. To start the copy, use the following command (or you can start it in the portal). To monitor how the copy is going, which can take a while with a very large database, use the following command.
select name, state, state_desc from sys.databases
where name = 'ShoppingCartBackup'
select * from sys.dm_database_copies
where database_id = DB_ID('ShoppingCartBackup')
You can then download the databasecopy or move it to another SQL Azure server in a different Windows Azure datacenter.
The SQL Azure Migration Wizard is an open-source tool that can help you migrate your SQL Server database to SQL Azure. It will inspect your schema for data types and other features not supported in SQL Azure and help you migrate your data. You can find it at http://sqlazuremw.codeplex.com/. It is based on a highly configured system that makes it easy to tune it to your needs.
Windows Azure has 20 Content Delivery Network (CDN) cache servers around the world, and they leverage the Microsoft highly connected and fast global network to deliver that data to local users. CDN is the way that high-scale websites and providers cache their data around the globe. When a user tries to download some cached data, it is downloaded from the most local cache server instead of from a main server. This gives the user a faster download experience.
The Windows Azure CDN can cache the contents of your public BLOB container around the world. When you store a file in your public BLOB container, it will have a URL like the following: http://mydocs.blob.core.windows.net/videos/birthday.mpg
If your container is public, you can turn on CDN caching on the Windows Azure portal. Once you do this, you will receive a new URL for your BLOB container, such as: http://<guid>.vo.msecnd.net/videos/birthday.mpg
You will then use this new cached URL in your application. When the user tries to download the file, the CDN service will determine which cache server is closest and download it from there.
Files are not pushed to the cache servers until they are needed at that particular cache server. This reduces your costs. If the file is not in the cache when it is needed, it is retrieved over the network from your BLOB container.
The CDN servers have algorithms on when a file should be refreshed from your BLOB container. By default, a check is made on the first access after 72 hours. If the file has changed, a new file is downloaded. If a file hasn't changed, it will respond with the current file. You can control the frequency of these cache refreshes by setting a cache-control header on your BLOB.
At some point, you will want to deploy your cloud application to Windows Azure. There are three ways to do this, and all three approaches take about the same amount of time.
There are two key styles of performing an upgrade to your deployed application.
At some point, you might need to debug your application. The easiest way to do this is locally in the emulator. This lets you debug a cloud application like any other application, with support for multiple instances.
Debugging an application that runs in the cloud will rely on using tracing or IntelliTrace. You can use the normal tracing APIs and then pick those up through the diagnostic API. The diagnostic API will pick up your traces and move them to your storage account so you can analyze them offline.
If you have Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Edition, you can use IntelliTrace. To use this with Windows Azure your project has to use .NET 4 and deploy with Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Edition. There will be a check box in the deployment wizard to add the IntelliTrace components.
The Service Management API allows you to do almost everything the Windows Azure portal can. You can access the REST API directly or use a set of PowerShell cmdlets.
To access the Service Management API, you will have to register a certificate. Each command to the API must be signed with a registered certificate. You can have up to five certificates registered at one time, and you can revoke a certificate at any time.
The following actions must be done by hand in the Windows Azure portal:
You will need a Windows Azure subscription to use Windows Azure. This subscription includes your service contract and payment terms. You will be assigned a subscription ID, which is the equivalent to your account number.
Many people choose to have a different subscription for each deployment region they might want to manage (for example, a subscription for production and a second for testing).
A subscription contains one or more projects. Don't confuse subscription projects with Visual Studio projects; they don't have anything to do with one another. A subscription project is a way to group your Windows Azure resources together. Projects can also help in tracking costs for different projects without having to have separate subscriptions.
How you setup your subscription can affect how you are charged. You can read about all of the pricing for each service on www.azure.com.
One way to make sure that you haven't left a demo up and running, which would accidentally burn your allocated hours of compute, is to install GreyBox on your computer. This opensource software will monitor your environment in Windows Azure and remind you if you have left any servers up and running. You can download this free tool at http://greybox.codeplex.com/.
The right SDK depends on the technologies you use now:
When you install the Windows Azure SDK, it will install the compute and storage emulators, which are local simulations of the real cloud.
Developers working with other platforms can download an SDK only package (PHP, Ruby, Python, Java, etc.) from the Interoperability Bridges site.
Pretty early into your 1st "real project" someone will ask about security capabilities. Here are some resources you will love:

ARLINGTON — Firefighters found one man dead and another injured when they responded to calls about an explosion late Thursday.Multiple 911 callers reported smoke, flames and an explosion at a residence in the 2600 block of Hedgeapple Drive about 11 p.m., a news release from the Arlington Fire Department said. The injured man, who was in the front yard, was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas with burns over 80 percent of his body, the news release said. KXAS/Channel 5 identified the man as Dustin Louis, 23.In the garage, firefighters found the dead man, identified by the Tarrant County medical examiner's office as Jared Backus, 24, of Arlington. The cause and manner of his death were pending Friday night. The fire, which was confined to the garage, was controlled at 11:07 p.m. Structural damage was estimated at $5,000, the release said.The cause of the explosion is under investigation, the release said.Joe Morris, a shift commander with the Fire Department, told Channel 5 that there was evidence that the men were tampering with illegal consumer-grade fireworks and that gunpowder may have been removed.

two other variations.
1. the Th enter the war on the Kz and Hy side in f159 after they start bulding there Ca. do the Th have a early ca that jest goes by the letter C that is a 7-8/3-4 that is not listed on the sit. I think it is in the scen wher the Rom are hurssing the thol.
the second could be added to any Th involved game.
The Sel did not make the web braker some one else did and the Sel are forced to flee with there masters. add 3 hive ships to the thol cap. one over each of the now ex Kl planets. The majer poduces 20ep each miner 10ep for a total of 40ep to the Thol income.
add sel fleets 1cl 2dd 3ff to th home fleet 1dd and 2ff to all 3 others.
buld rate is the same for single hive ship. how ever down grade all ca builds to cl. (yes the largest ship they can build is a cl. slave race and all). all thol ships must be built and max repare to thol ships must be done befor any selt ships can be built or repared.
Th ships must be in command. if only selt ships left in hex they must retreat to Th base or fleet.
selt ships are not limited to 2 hex resriction can be added to the few ships th is allowed past the limmit. as long as there are Th ships to command them they are fine.

Mr Shevlin:
With all due respect sir, is it possible to spell out what you are attempting to communicate? I gave up attempting to read your post about half way through because I found I couldn't follow what you were attempting to say.
|By Richard B. Eitzen (Rbeitzen) on Friday, June 07, 2013 - 10:11 pm: Edit
For some reason he doesn't want to spell out empire names. Th is Tholian (I assume), etc etc.
Let me translate.
Two other variations.
1. The Tholians enter the war on the Kzinti and Hydran side in Fall Y159 after they start building their CAs. Do the Tholians have an early CA that just goes b the letter C that is a 7-8/3-4 that is not listed on the SIT? I think it is in the scenario where the Romulans are harassing the Tholians.
The second could be added to any Tholian involved game.
The Seltorians did not make the web breaker, someone else did and the Seltorian are forced to flee with their masters. Add three hive ships to the Tholian capital, one over each of the now ex Klingon planets. The major produces 20 EP and each minor 10 EP for a total of 40 EP to the Tholian income.
Add Seltorian Fleets: CL 2DD 3FF to the home fleet, 1 DD and 2 FF to all three others.
Build rate is the same for single hive ship, however downgrade all CA builds to CL (yes, the largest ships they can build is a CL, slave race and all). All Tholian ships must be built and max repair done to tholian ships must be done before any Seltorian ships can be build or repaired.
Tholian ships must be in command. If only Seltorian ships left in hex they must retreat to a Tholian base or fleet.
Seltorian ships are not limited to 2 hex restriction and can be added to the few ships Tholians are allowed past the limit as long as there are Tholian ships to command them, they are fine.
|By Gary Carney (Nerroth) on Friday, June 07, 2013 - 10:20 pm: Edit
EDIT: Richard beat me to it.
I believe Charles is referring to The Eagle Spreads its Wings, from CL36. I don't recall off-hand if it has stats for the Tholian C in it or not, however.
For what it's worth (which is usually very little), I do like the idea of an early Seltorian arrival, but as a Tribunal force instead. In which case, they could be obliged to make do with the home galaxy designs they knew how to build at the time, as opposed to the "war" hulls built with Klingon assistance historically.
I'm not all that sure if it would work well as a variant for the Four Powers War in and of itself, but it might make for an interesting option for what the Eastern fleet (and/or the TBS, in a variant sending the Vudar to the Hydran front in its stead) could be getting up to while its sister fleets to anti-spinward are prosecuting the 4PW proper.

I don't think most people know which way spinward is Gary. I don't.
Perhaps use east and west, which most people (I assume) do understand.

Richard, I guess it was some of my recent exposure to BattleTech seeping in there. I've been getting a bit too used to spinward and anti-spinward, rather than east and west, when looking "down" at maps set along the plane of the Milky Way galaxy.
Charles, if it helps, there is an index of articles from older issues of Captain's Log over on this page.

(607.246) 'any diplomats exchange between' should be 'any diplomats exchanged between'
(607.569) Consider adding a reference to (441.1) in this section to point to the 'full' PGB rules.
(607.562) Can Police Flagships be called up as part of the five allowed ships? (I suspect the intent here is no, but it's probably worth specifying)
(607.35) Since concession is listed as an 'instant victory' condition, its separate inclusion here is redundant.
(607.432) The E4J entry cuts off awkwardly. Suggest to conclude with: "another E4J using the rules in (528.0)"
(607.152) This rule states to remove MMGs from play if their associated module is not in use, but this scenario as-written does not indicate any MMGs in use to begin with.
(607.56) No rules regarding prime teams or command points are presently outlined in the scenario. These were previously outlined in Q1802F of CL18. Was this a deliberate omission?
|By Gary Carney (Nerroth) on Friday, June 07, 2013 - 11:28 pm: Edit
Also, I probably should have noted this before:
(607.26) The opening sentence currently reads "In Y159S the Klingons began the activation and transfer of mothballed ships to the Romulan." It might be worth changing the ending to "the Romulan Star Empire", or perhaps to "the Romulans" instead; and to put a comma after Y159S.

(607.421) Enemy's Blood fleet indicates a total of 19 line ships, but currently only has 18 listed.
(607.721) The Vudar Fleet indicates a total of 10 line ships, but currently only has 6 listed.
(607.565) "The LDR receive three diplomats and deployed them to each" should read "The LDR receive three diplomats and deploy them to each."
Kzinti FH: In the notes column, "Limit one per turn by an means." should be "Limit one per turn by any means."

Hey Chuck, the 2xMB from the original scenario are missing from the Hydran home fleet.
Did Tony fall on them? Are they stuck to his behind? That could explain his pain.

>>(607.15) MODULES USED: This scenario assumes usage of the following modules: Advanced (AO), Fighter (FO), Combined (CO), Planetary (PO) and Strategic (SO) Operations. Portions of Captain's Log's #46 and #47 are needed to use scenario variations until F&E Minor Empires (ME) becomes available.>>
Here is what I would suggest on this front--the 4PW is a perfect game for learning how to play F+E; it is short enough and small enough in scale to be manageable but long enough to be interesting. If it were set up in such a way that it was inviting to newer/less hard core players of the game, it would likely lure a lot of people into playing. The General War is a *really* significant undertaking to start out with, and designing this scenario so that people just starting or fairly new to the game could pick it up and play a reasonably sized, balanced scenario would be a great benefit to the game as a whole.
To this end, rather than structuring the scenario so that it assumes the use of all those expansion sets (which is a great way to scare off newer players), why not structure the scenario so that it can be easily played with just the basic rules, and then have information for upgrading the game to use of expansions?
All the older scenarios are written with fleets by virtue of what rules you happen to be using (i.e. "Here is the Home Fleet. If you are using CO, add these ships; if you are using FO, add these; if you are using AO, ad these; etc.) If this one were written like this (i.e. "Here are the basic fleets; add these ships if you are using expansions"), it would likely be a much more inviting scenario for newer players (which it has a great opportunity to work for), rather than simply an alternate scenario for people who are already invested in the game.
|By Richard B. Eitzen (Rbeitzen) on Tuesday, June 11, 2013 - 09:31 pm: Edit
Eh, I prefer it structured to use all expansions, with instructions on what to do if you aren't doing so. This way expansion rules are (imo) more likely to be addressed, which is a real problem with some older scenarios.
|By Peter D Bakija (Bakija) on Thursday, June 13, 2013 - 08:23 am: Edit
I have no problem at all with the scenario being structured to use (and consequently address) all the expansions, but it seems like it wouldn't take much effort to structure the fleet layouts like they were structured in all the previous versions of scenarios, i.e. "Here is what ships you use if you are just using the basic set rules; here is what you add on if you are using Expansions...".
It strikes me as a lot more inviting to newer players to have a scenario that says "Here is how you play with just the basic set" as opposed to "Here is a scenario that uses all the rules you don't know, I suppose you could play it without all those rules if you really had to, but you are gonna have to figure out how to set up the fleets on your own..."
|By Peter D Bakija (Bakija) on Thursday, June 13, 2013 - 08:30 am: Edit
Ok, so far, two things have jumped to mind, re: this scenario working off hand:
1) Admirals. The Hydrans are planning on attacking the Lyrans on T1. That is the best possible time to attack them in this scenario. Why is the one Hydran Admiral stuck in the Home Fleet? When *not* using Admirals, the Hydrans get to attack the Lyrans on T1 with 2 command points, and the Lyrans have none to respond with (good for the Hydrans!). When using Admirals, the Hydrans get to attack the Lyrans on T1 with 1 command point and an Admiral that can't get anywhere important while the Lyrans get to respond with an Admiral in a reserve fleet (bad for Hydrans!). At the very least, the Hydran Admiral should be available to put in any fleet on T1.
2) Electronic Warfare. The Hydrans are totally hosed on this front. The Klingons, Lyrans, and Kzintis have numerous 2 point scouts. The Klingons and Lyrans get 3 and 4 point scouts on T4. The Hydrans start with nothing but 1 point scouts. They get some 2 point scouts in the middle of the scenario. If using the Survey Ship rules, they have access to a few very expensive SRs. The Hydrans are going to be at a significant EW disadvantage the whole war. This is a very questionable situation, game balance wise *and* makes no sense with the established history of "Well, at the start of the General War, the Hydrans were baffled that their little HN SCs weren't sufficient! And they needed to quickly and hurriedly build up their EW force!", as in the 4PW, they are going to spend 5 years discovering that tgheir little HN SCs aren't sufficient. Other than, like, ret-conning the YIS date of the DDS or PGS, I can't really see a good way to fix any of this.
|By Richard B. Eitzen (Rbeitzen) on Thursday, June 13, 2013 - 09:21 am: Edit
You can move the admiral by blockade run when using full rules.
The PGS is Y160 I think, so that should help a bit.
I personally think the CLS should possibly be made a 2 pt scout - as a 3 pt scout it's kind of weird that they don't have any at the beginning of the general war, imo.
|By Peter D Bakija (Bakija) on Thursday, June 13, 2013 - 10:04 am: Edit
>>You can move the admiral by blockade run when using full rules.>>
The Klingons get to have their Admiral as a General HQ unit (i.e. they can put him wherever they want at the start of the game). You'd think that if the Hydrans were planning to launch a war against the Lyrans, they'd let the Admiral be somewhere useful when they launch said war. I'd suggest making the Hydran Admiral a General HQ unit.
>>The PGS is Y160 I think, so that should help a bit.>>
Maybe? y160 is, what, Turn 6 of an 11 turn game. The Klingons and Lyrans get 3-4 point scouts starting on Turn 4, and are building multiple 2 point scouts a turn from the start of the game. By the time the Hydrans get a few PGS into play, the Coalition are going to have reliable lines of 10+ EW points.
And again, full well realizing that the background is being retroactively (and reactively) created, why the 4PW would happen (where the Hydrans and less so the Kzintis [who will mostly be fighting defensively over bases and PDUs and have 2 point scouts to build] are clearly at a significant EW disadvantage from the get go) and then they'd just happily revert to fleets with nothing but little 1 point FF scouts by the time of the General War again makes little sense. I mean, yeah, I realize that the YIS dates of the various scouts in the game were created way before F+E even existed, but now game balance in F+E is being hung on these arbitrary YIS dates that were created without F+E even existing. Although, again, other than, like, retroactively changing the YIS date of the Hydran DDS to, like, y158 (and then having some in the Hydran fleet at the start of the GW) or something, I can't really see a good solution.
|By Douglas E. Lampert (Dlampert) on Thursday, June 13, 2013 - 12:37 pm: Edit
I think the obvious fix to Peter's problem would be to declare that the 4PW is fought with the basic scout rules rather than EW points, i.e. you either have a scout or you don't and scouts give a 1 point shift.
Yes, this would be a change in the dynamics and mean not playing with the full rules for the 4PW, but it nicely explains thinking 1pt frigate scouts are adequate.
The GW is then explained as having taken place after some otherwise minor improvement in special sensor tech or doctrine improved them between wars.
"Surprises" comparable to "our scouts are totally inadequate" usually happen when the combat implications of a tech improvement aren't noticed by some future combatants during peacetime.

Asian Noodles
Veggie Lo Mein
It's so easy to make vegetable lo mein, a Chinese take-out favorite, at home—and it's lighter and less heavy on the oil than its restaurant counterpart. Serve this with a simple combo of corn and edamame as shown in the photo; or with a tofu dish. Either way, round out the meal a simple crisp salad. Recipe from Plant Power: Transform Your Kitchen, Plate, and Life with More Than 150 Fresh and Flavorful Vegan Recipes by Nava Atlas. ©2014, published by HarperOne, reprinted by permission. Photos by Hannah Kaminsky.
Garlicky Greens Pasta with Gomasio
Garlicky pasta is embellished with heaps of nutrients from greens and gomasio. Gomasio is a condiment used in Japanese cuisine as well as a staple of the macrobiotic diet. It has an earthy, toasty, salty flavor and can be used on almost anything…pasta, rice, popcorn or salads. However, it is more than just added flavor, it provides a plethora of trace minerals essential for health, including thyroid function. You can even consider gomasio a "remineralizing seasoning." Recipe and photos contributed by Cristina Cavanaugh, from BeginWithin Nutrition. more→
Chili-Orange Asian Noodles with Crisp Vegetables
This year-round noodle salad is really more about the veggies than the noodles. Flavored with a citrusy glaze, and spiked with chili oil, it's the perfect accompaniment to your favorite tofu or tempeh dish and can be enjoyed all year round as a room temperature noodle dish. Thanks to Boyajian for supplying the chili oil used in this recipe. more→

Pad Thai with Spicy Peanut Sauce

Singapore-Style Tofu Yellow Curry with Rice Noodles
Characteristic of some Southeast Asian cuisines is the overlapping of Asian and Indian influences. This is true here in this tasty and pleasantly offbeat noodle dish that is seasoned with both soy sauce and curry. Fine Asian rice noodles are now available in a whole grain variety.

The Shriners Hospital hosted a clinic inside their Omaha office Wednesday for kids who might have orthopaedic issues.
Kids and their families could speak one-on-one with a Physician's Assistant. If the PA believes the hospital can treat the child, they will do so at one of their hospitals.
Krystal Neppl of Pacific Junction, Iowa said, "I just think this is a wonderful thing the Shriners are doing and it's wonderful for any kid to be able to get the opportunity to find some comfort."
Even if a family's insurance won't cover everything, the patient is not responsible for the remaining cost.
The Shriners in Omaha host this event twice a year.

Extremely helpful and kind staff members. Helped us book every tour and event we did, with a great discount included. Drove us to our Turkish night event and picked us up, very friendly. Room and sheets were very clean, and the common area upstairs was warm and cozy. Loved the unlimited hot drinks as well seeing as I went late November when the weather was very cold. Only unpleasant thing was that the bathrooms were located outside so it was very cold when you had to use the facilities.Read More

The First Day of My Life Lyrics - Bright Eyes
Review The Song (46)
This is the first day of my life
I Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain
Suddenly everything changed
They're spreadin' blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw
I Think I was blind before I met you
I don't know where I am
I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go
So I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realized that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home
I remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange
You said everything changed
You felt as if you just woke up
And you said,
This is the first day of my life,
I'm Glad I didn't die before I met you
But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy.
So if you wanna be with me
With these things there's no telling
We'll just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time it's different
I mean I really think you like me...

Our Wedding | Reviewer: MareesusMonkey | 2/4/11
My Fiance surprised me one night with his own recorded version of this song. We have decided to have this as our processional song when we walk back down the aisle. We are giving our guests a USB stick as a gift with all our songs and we are going to have our own little rendition of this song on it.
The Warmth of Joy | Reviewer: Keith | 8/14/10
this song makes me speechless when i hear it, i get kinda choked up cause i can just relate to it so easily just like other bright eyes songs like the difference in the shades, i wonder how many times ive been just singing so loudly in my truck driving and tearing up, Conor you have made my life worth that much more im so grateful for your music and everything you've done in this world you have helped me through some rough times so thank you conor oberst.
great! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/21/10

what a great little quote, so great!
Bright Eyes are so amazing, mt favourite band ever. !
Beautiful | Reviewer: Leah | 6/7/10
I'm going through a tough/confusing time at the minute with my love life, but when I heard this song I felt like I had been woken up.
The words just hit me and I suddenly realised what I wanted/needed from my relationships. You don't get many songs that truly reach out to you like that, but when one does you realise just how truly special and potent that song must be. And the singer's voice is just incredible, it's full of emotion.
This song will always hold special meaning to me and, for that, I will always be grateful.
Beautiful | Reviewer: Amanda | 3/20/10
My fiance and I are using this song for our first dance. It's beautiful. It makes me tear up a little and laugh out loud at parts because of how very true they are, every time I hear it. Such a wonderful song.
Anon | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/29/09
This song is actually amazing. I first heard it on the radio in summer it was absoloutly beautiful, like many of his songs he expresses so much in his tone and in his lyrics a prime example is this and "A line shows progress, a circle does not"
2010 is all about change (: | Reviewer: Marilynn S | 1/1/10
I started my new year listening to this song, this song has me in a deep infatuation. I feel as if this song is going to resemble this up coming year for myself, this year I'm waking up from my dreaded life and finally realizing what's important to me and who I want to spend the rest of my life with.
Thank you Conor Oberst for making this song I'm truly inspired.
warmth to the heart x x | Reviewer: foza | 9/24/09
i heard this song in an advert and it warmed my heart and i thought i'd sent it to the gul that i was with and she didnt understand it like i did, but wat i know is that this song really takes your emotions to the next level and it makes you feel like the love that u give to ur loved one is not enough so i love this song for that and now i knw that the size if a heart is wat u make .
Beautiful song | Reviewer: Nadia | 9/17/09

When we reach the 100 millionth member
milestone, nearly 1 in 3 Americans will be members of credit unions
Wisconsin credit unions' value to members and
communities is detailed in the Scorecard.
Some time in August, the U.S. credit union
movement is expected to add the 100 millionth member, offering credit unions a
great opportunity to engage their members in the celebration and
increase their loyalty.
Credit unions nationwide are invited to help
"put a face" on the credit union movement as it reaches this milestone
by urging members to submit a selfie that will display with others on
the new website www.americascreditunions.org.
Members can visit the site to upload their selfies and share why
they're proud to be members. The site is growing rapidly.
Members can also use social media to
submit selfies using the hashtag #100MM on Google+, Facebook,
Instagram and Twitter.
Credit unions are encouraged to seek selfies
from members to create buzz on social media while enlarging the collage
online. Sample materials credit unions can use to engage their members
are being added to CUNA's website.
Recent research conducted by CUNA revealed
that engaging members in understanding the credit union difference and advocating on its
behalf increases member loyalty.
For more information, contact CUNA's
Grassroots Manager Adam Engelman.

I just ordered a Ruger New Vaquero 3.75 inch sheriff's model. It is one of the Lipsey's special edition guns.
The thought of carrying this gun intrigues me. I currently only have 2 revolvers in my carry rotation, a Colt Agent and.
an NAA Pug which I carry doing yard work or going to the gym.
I usually carry DOA pistols like the Kahr CM9 or Ruger LCP. I do not feel uncomfortable carrying double action revolvers
because of their likeness to DOA pistols (point and shoot).
I know that carrying a single action revolver will entail lots of practice but I think this Ruger will make an excellent winter carry gun.
Does anyone here carry single action revolvers regularly and can you give me any advise on single action carry?

SPIbelt Running Belt 137 137
Excellent product These belts are absolutely perfect. For those that have the new iPhone 6 I highly suggest getting the large pocket version. This version purchased does not fit with room to spare. Hoping Dick's allows me to return. November 11, 2014
Really like it I am a runner and this belt worked great for me. I almost purchased a FlipBelt instead but I'm really glad I didn't because the SPIbelt has a belt clip so I can take it off and put it on very easily. It holds my iPod classic tight against my body (I wear it against my back with the buckle in front) with no bounce whatsoever, and room to spare. I've worn it both under and on top of my shirt with no problems - the material is a nice quality and I honestly forget that it's there! Great product. November 3, 2014
The perfect belt I bought this belt on w Saturday, took it out for a 9 mile run on Sunday. I was completely impressed. It didn't rub, it didn't bounce, I didn't even know I had it on until mile 6 when it was time to refuel with the chomps I broughtiits me. I have seen some reviews questioning the long term durability. I think this belt will last me all winter and in to the spring. You absolutely cannot beat the price and I guarantee ill be buying another one when its time. This thing is extremely comfortable and low profile. November 2, 2014
SPIbelt Running Belt review I have already had a chance to use this product and was very happy with it. I was on a long run through the woods and was concerned to secure my vehicle's keys as well as identification. This running belt handled that very well. My only concern is how well it will stand up to wear and tear and how it will function in the coming months. October 29, 2014
Very practical to keep smart phone in SPIbelt during jogging After I purchased SPIbelt, I do jogging with smart phone. Very steady, does not bounce, fits at waist very nicely. October 28, 2014
Great purchase has been a life saver! This little bag has room for my iPhone 5, iPod nano and inhaler. October 28, 2014
Awesome! Just ran a half marathon and I couldn't feel the belt the entire time. It was great for holding energy gels and Chapstick. October 28, 2014
This is a good running belt Actual wallet in the belt is 20 percent too small. I'd recommend they increase the capacity by 25% or so. Otherwise a great running belt. October 22, 2014
Retuned the belt. Read why. I purchased this running belt online because the store did not have any in stock. I purchased this on a Sunday and said I needed it by Thursday as I was traveling to another state to run in my first 10K. I felt I needed this at the last minute as the weather turned cold and I did not have pockets to carry my nutrition. I was told it was coming from in state and that it would only take a couple of days. No problem getting it by Thursday. Well it arrived AFTER our trip. I found the running belt at a different store and when I returned to town I returned this item. The belt I bought worked great. Dick's let me down. October 20, 2014
Awesome! This is a great product. It's convenient for keeping small snacks, your phone, keys, money etc. it stays in place and is comfortable to wear. October 15, 2014

If you are new to this case, thank you for your interest! For background, please see the 2012 Montreal Dog Blog interview. This case differs from most "dangerous dog" cases and may be confusing. But it is important to know for those concerned about animal control laws and enforcement in North America, as it lays bare core issues common to animal control cases.
A call out to all who care about Brindi:
Please help with the effort to persuade the local SPCA to intervene by using its legal authority to protect animal welfare to take her from the control of the city and place her in a safe, healthy home that abides by all court conditions.
Asking the SPCA to intervene is one way the public can help. It has the greatest potential for getting Brindi to safety.
Here is how it works.
1. To clarify the roles:
- Halifax animal control now takes all animals it picks up as strays or seizes under warrant to Homeward Bound City Pound, a private company in Burnside Industrial Park, that Halifax contracts to provide "pound services" as of 2010.* That year, Halifax chose not to renew its contract with the Nova Scotia SPCA, who previously provided these services at the Metro Shelter.
- In turn, Homeward Bound pays a private kennel in West Chezzetcook, Wyndenfog Kennel, to hold dogs Halifax wants detained until their fate is decided - usually until their owners are tried in court.
- Halifax instructs Homeward Bound and Wyndenfog to confine these dogs from contact with other dogs and to prohibit visits (from their owners, trainers, vets).
- Brindi has been at Wyndenfog Kennel since 2010.
- The Act provides full and sole authority to the SPCA to enforce it.
- The SPCA is thus empowered to investigate, lay charges, and obtain a warrant to seize animals.
- For this, it needs "reasonable grounds to believe an animal is in distress". No further permission or approval is necessary.
- There is veterinary and canine expert opinion on file – already in its possession - providing ample grounds for the SPCA to believe - and know - Brindi is in distress.
