Anyone know a reliable gunsmith that can reduce the trigger pull on a Bersa Thunder 380. In SA, it comes out of the box at 5.5 and I'd like to get it down to 4.
Anyone know a reliable gunsmith that can reduce the trigger pull on a Bersa Thunder 380. In SA, it comes out of the box at 5.5 and I'd like to get it down to 4.
Maybe a warranty center can help you. There is a list of them on a sister forum, Bersa Chat.
I think the factory specs are 5 to 8 lbs, so I don't know if they'll recommend it. It helped mine to put some KG-10 Dry lube on the sear. I use a doubled pipe cleaner dipped in the KG-10 & slip it down in front of the cocked hammer (empty gun of course), then ride the hammer down as I pull the trigger. My .380 CC is at 3-1/2 & my wife's Thunder .380 is at 4 lbs.
I didn't have a trigger pull guage when they were new, so don't have a comparison. But, I did a before & after test on my Rock Island & it smoothed the trigger out & lowered the pull by 3/4 lb.
We have talked to many about this, please feel free to contact us and we would be happy to discuss this and see if there is something we might be able to do for you.
Thank you,

Mitchr - if you want to let someone know about the warranty centers for Bersa pistols, please, in the future, refer them to this list - http://www.bersa.com/warranty
The list on BersaChat is, for some reason, incomplete. I am not very happy about this. If you are going to help folks, at least give them all the correct options. Thank you.
Thanks mitchr. I know it is not your fault. I appreciate your help!!
Thank you AG! Not quite sure what was going on there, but I have an idea. Thanks again!! We really appreciate it!
The weight of the trigger pull doesn't bother as much as the creep and gritty feel. I would like to polish the sliding parts but taking this gun apart scares me. I've been using pistols and doing my own work for over forty years. I'm not a gunsmith but I can usually find my way around guns. An exploded view or better yet disassembly directions would be a huge help.
KG-10 Dry lube should help that, may even improve the trigger pull & no disassembly needed. First, empty gun & check to be sure. Double a pipe cleaner & dip it in the KG-10. Slip it down in front of the cocked hammer, then ease the hammer down on it. This squeezes the lube down on to the sear. Work hammer back & forth a couple of times then let it sit & dry. If you can't find it locally, it can be purchased direct from KG & I get mine from Midway USA. Midway is about the same price & I can usually find something else I want to help spread out the cost of the shipping. Shipping for the KG-10 is pretty $$ if that is all you order.
Something that I haven't tried & you may be able to find locally is Remoil Dry Lube in the spray can. I've read that it isn't as good, so haven't used it, but might be worth a try.
Caution: The KG-10 can be scrubbed off your hands with a brush & a good soap. But, it will not come out of clothes!

I'm having a heck of a time refinishing the woodwork in my house because it is oak with deep grain and pore patterns. Either you have to use a grain filler or you have to put on lots of coats of shellac and sand it back until the pores are filled or it looks really cheap. I've been doing the latter. It's been a battle on all the window woodwork, the colonnade, and the stairs. I tried grain filler before and it was so much more work because it dried like cement. I even tried using a watered-down plaster mix for the filler but it didn't take the stain well and the one window has a "pickled" look to the grain. It would work well for something painted that needed the grain to be filled and it certainly was cheap! I'll have to redo that one at some point because it isn't painted.
I saw a commercial for Timbermate on YouTube and ordered some. It came yesterday and was frozen solid and hidden in a snow drift that developed on my porch. I didn't hear the doorbell ring. But right on the package it says it is not affected by being frozen, thank goodness. Hopefully I'll get to another of the baseboards this weekend so I can try it out. I'm moving right along on my projects but at a snail's pace.
I also received my quart of satin Waterlox so I can top coat my baseboards to cut the (garnet dewaxed shellac) shine to a satin finish. I have "Shellac Flat" but I like the way Waterlox dries so slowly and evenly for my top coat plus the extra protection it will give for spills and other accidents that may happen (we have cats.)
Hopefully soon, I'll have some photos to show you how good it turned out (or not.)

Trust a Man with a Comb-Over

do you think you are?
Who do you think you're foolin'?"
--- Who Do You Think You're Foolin', sung (and written) by Donna
Summer (Polygram Records, 1980)
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace
alarmed, and thus clamorous to be led to safety, by menacing it with
an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

My youngest daughter turned 16 two months ago. I have begun to give her the lowdown about men.
Basic Truths About Men and Women
Such as how men and women cannot just be friends. It isn't in the cards, because of hormones and genetic programming. The character played by Billy Crystal in the movie When Harry Met Sally was absolutely correct when he told Meg Ryan that men "basically want to jump them, too" (that is, have sex with every woman they meet). Sneakiest are the guys who say they want to be friends (especially those whose advance just was rebuffed). There simply is no such thing.
She also needs to understand that men and women respond to each other differently for a reason: Men fundamentally are polygamous and women monogamous because of the genetic imperative driving all of us to reproduce. You see, it takes only a few minutes for a man to transmit his DNA forward (less, in some cases), but a woman requires 9 months at minimum (and more, to ensure survival). That difference has led to the eternal double standard. Men know what I'm talking about, trust me. Men have to work at marital fidelity a great deal harder than do women. The only thing that saves the vast majority of men is lack of opportunity.
Never Trust a Man with a Comb-Over
I'm acquainting my daughter with other important things about men, too, including: Never trust a man with a comb-over. Yes, that self deception in which a balding man deludes himself into thinking that growing his hair out to an incredible length on one side of his head, then simply flinging it over to the other side, will cause others to think it looks as good as it does to himself. For example, take this fellow:
He actually thinks we don't notice that he is bald all the way to the back of his skull. He thinks that, somehow, we will believe he has a normal head of hair. He probably thinks that young girls my daughter's age find him attractive. I assume that a disproportionate number of perverts, child molesters and murderers of women and children have comb-overs - not to imply, heaven forbid, that this particular fellow should be viewed in that light.
Visualize him in the men's room mirror prior to this photograph, carefully patting it all down into place and then, smiling broadly, giving himself the thumbs-up and saying, "All right!!!" I've actually witnessed this routine when such a man didn't realize he had an audience.
I've always thought how singularly strange these guys look when outside, caught in a sudden gust of wind, the whole thing lifts up as a unit, revealing that hair spray had to be used to keep it all in place.
Really, now - would you buy a used car from this man? Seriously - think about it. Someone who thinks he can delude you with something as obvious as a comb-over? He could persuade himself that you might be deceived by anything he said or did, don't you think? Look at those close-set, sneaky eyes. In this picture, you can almost hear him chortling over some poor sucker whom he just fleeced, as he rubs his hands together, Scrooge like. Or, perhaps, he is plotting the abduction of some poor innocent and is considering where to hide the body.
What a Nation's Leadership Says About its Character
Coincidentally, the man with the comb-over pictured above happens to be Ehud Olmert, Israel's current Prime Minister and architect of the genocidal frenzy that has been taking place in both Palestine and Lebanon. Past Israeli Prime Ministers have included self-confessed assassins (Begin) and mass murderers (Sharon) who thought themselves fit to mingle in amongst normal, decent people. That such men are selected to lead should tell you a great deal about Israel.
Not that choosing a boob like Bush to lead America is not just as telling. H. L. Mencken (1880-1956) once observed: "As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
Mencken also said, "The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the greatest liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth." While I would like to think that this is why everybody believes Bush and not people like myself, I suspect that our Zionist pals have more than a little to do with it.
Since we're discussing how a nation's leader reflects his following, I cannot let it pass that the always-perfectly-manicured and -coiffed Tony Blair seems to me to be the penultimate symbol for the American poodle that Britain has become. Cheap shot? I think not.
Just for fun (or not, depending upon your outlook), here is a picture of the cadaverous Michael Chertoff, Jewish head of America's new Gestapo, the Department of Homeland Buffoonery. Chertoff was a prime architect of the Constitution-trumping Patriot Act. Chertoff also, while "serving" as Assistant Attorney General, was personally responsible for allowing countless numbers of Israeli terrorist suspects to flee back to Israel and then quietly killing the related investigations. Did you know that Chertoff is a citizen of Israel, too? Did you know that Chertoff hired KGB and Stasi officials to help him convert America to a full-on police state? Did you know that "Chertoff," literally translated from the native Russian, means "of the devil?" Just asking.
Do You Believe in Coincidence?
The just-announced plot by Muslims to blow up "a great many" airliners in flight from London to America using two-part liquid bombs, including the arrest of one of them, allegedly with the makings in a carry-on bag, happens at a very convenient time, indeed. Convenient for Bush, Blair and Olmert, in fact.
It must be just coincidence that the Bush/Blair poll drop due to the Iraqi fiasco suddenly accelerated into a freefall because of Israel's US-backed and -financed genocidal campaign against Lebanon and Palestine.
Also coincidental: both "leaders" were on vacation at the time and saw no need to rush back to the office to deal with this latest "event."
Another coincidence: One day prior to the latest "terrorist" announcement, pro-war Jewish Neocon (but I repeat myself) Joe Lieberman unexpectedly lost an important primary election to a nobody in an early demonstration of just how the public intends to deal with all pro-war elected officials in the upcoming November congressional election.
Just last week, for the first time, facts disputing the official 9/11 story were broadcast nationally, again and again, in the form of a taped, two-hour panel discussion on C-SPAN. This was a momentous event that garnered a good deal of attention - much more than C-SPAN anticipated, which is why it rebroadcast the program a total of five times during the week, prompting increased discussion in many quarters throughout America. Just coincidence, of course, that such a program got such attention just prior to unveiling of the "liquid bomber" plot.
Nor is C-SPAN the only one suddenly to be disclosing what really happened during 9/11. The official cover-up story about 9/11 fast is unraveling. America's largest church, the Presbyterian Church, just published a book discussing governmental responsibility for 9/11. Yesterday, former CIA official Bill Christison went public with the allegation that "significant parts of the 'official story' put out by the U.S. government and the 9/11 Commission are false." The timing of all this is just coincidental, of course.
In another coincidence, it has become clear that Israel's genocidal campaign in Lebanon went nowhere beyond the massive killing of women and children and destruction of Lebanon's infrastructure. Many outside America's government and its controlled media now are saying that Israel lost this battle, among them a great many Israelis.
After all, it is undisputed that 1500 Hezbollah members fought to a standstill tens of thousands of Israeli soldiers, all of them outfitted with the very best equipment and armaments that American money can buy - including tanks, fighter jets and guided missiles, not to mention white phosphorous and napalm bombs.
Quickly shipped by America and used by Israel in the last hours of fighting before the UN-sponsored cease fire: cluster bombs, which inflict maximum casualties and gruesome injuries when dropped amongst crowds. Ask yourself why America and Israel felt the need, not only to step up the campaign in the fashion that Israel did, once the impending cease fire was announced, but also increase the severity of the carnage thereby being wrought.
What seems lost in all the hoo-ha is the fact that Hezbollah had no part in formulating the cease fire that just took place. No signatures, no withdrawal, no retreat, no surrender, no laying down of arms. Israel needed time to lick its wounds and reformulate strategy because its much-vaunted military unexpectedly ran into a meat grinder. Suddenly, all of the Middle East realizes that Israel is not the undefeatable enemy that so many have thought. You can bet that Israel realizes the fix into which it now has gotten itself.
Israel desperately needed a distraction, not to mention more provocation to get its cannon fodder (your children and mine) in line to finish the fight Israel once again has picked, yet cannot finish by itself. Problem is, both Iraq and Afghanistan now have proven America incapable of finishing this sort of fight, either.
Coincidental, as well: Prime Minister Ehud "Comb-Over" Olmert last week replaced the Israeli commanding general responsible for the Lebanese fiasco, who simply fought Israel's last war, as generals are wont to do. Now Israel quickly needs to figure out how to fight this sort of decentralized and seemingly leaderless but coordinated enemy.
Any bets on how long before the fighting starts again? Odds are that the cease fire doesn't last a month and perhaps not even a week. Arabs soon will figure out that they should press the advantage gained in southern Lebanon, while the Israelis still are disorganized and shuffling generals and, possibly, leaders ... in other words, "Comb-Over" Olmert almost certainly now is on the bubble in Israel, just like all of America's incumbent congressmen. If the Arabs don't start things up again, you can count on Israel to create another deception like the alleged "kidnapping" of its soldiers (they were on Lebanese territory when captured) to justify resumption of its eradication of Arabs - just as soon as Israel figures out how to beat them, that is.
I'll bet it simply is coincidence, too, that the worldwide outcry against Israel reached fever pitch just prior to the current "terror plot." The "liquid bombers" conveniently draw attention away from what obviously is just a lull in a battle in progress. For those disappointed that WWIII apparently has not yet begun in earnest, relax. This is the way that wars are fought when the aggressor starts off by losing battles.
Tell me, do you really believe in coincidence?
Terror Plot du Jour
Bothersome about the latest alleged terror plot:
It took the Brits a week after arresting the perps suddenly to decide the danger required canceling all trans-Atlantic flights and suddenly imposing draconian new restrictions on passengers. Some unnamed officials say they knew about the plot for weeks in advance, if not months, so ask yourself why now? Why not when they first learned of the scheme?
Confiscated liquids and pastes are being tossed into the same barrels, where many containers leak and bottles break. The danger supposedly is in the mixing of two separate liquids, yet there is no problem with mixing them there in the terminal? One has to wonder why those barrels are not handled with anything resembling that necessary for dealing with hazardous materials, as logic dictates.
Some airports are forwarding unopened bottles of perfume and the like to needy institutions (I'm sure that none of it finds its way home with employees, of course), which makes one wonder why they were confiscated in the first place as potentially hazardous materials.
The liquids involved in the alleged bombs - peroxide, acetone and an acid catalyst - are clear, easily detectable and quite different from virtually all the paraphernalia now being confiscated from airline passengers.
The alleged makeshift bombs are difficult to mix, unstable and very weak. The quantities of liquids required to be effective easily can be detected simply by the previous already-too-draconian protocols in place at airport terminals.
Many of the alleged perps do not possess passports, so one has to wonder just how they intended to get aboard the jets the government claims they intended to blow up.
After being informed of the presence on board of someone "suddenly" discovered to be on some government watch list, the pilot of the jet involved was ordered to continue on to Boston, where American officials could snag the perp, search his bags and discover the "bomb" ingredients, then announce the plot. Unexpectedly, the pilot disregarded orders and, instead, turned his plane around and returned to London. Thus, the impact upon Americans largely has been lost. Undoubtedly, the pilot's intransigence explains the one-week delay in announcing the "plot," while officials endeavored to put together another attempt, then decided that world events had overtaken them sufficiently to require its disclosure as is.
In a detailed and highly-plausible article, Alex Jones alleges that the plot actually was hatched to save Blair from behind-the-scenes maneuvering by Prince Charles and others to replace him as Britain's Prime Minister, in precisely the manner by which Blair's replacement of John Major was orchestrated.
Bush and Blair: Proven Liars
Remember the Sears Tower "terror plot" disclosed by a breathless Attorney General Alberto "Torture is OK" Gonzalez a few months ago? Government and its lapdog media terrorized all of America with that one for a while. The FBI busted 7 homeless guys hanging out in a Miami warehouse, studying the Bible (hint: Christians, not Muslims) and calling themselves "soldiers of God," but Gonzalez could never explain exactly why. Not one shred of evidence of a plot was found, no weapons, no bomb-making materials, no nothing. Oh, a couple of the guys "had been to Chicago before." What was relevant, however, was that Bush's poll ratings had been dropping prior to the bogus terror scare. Go here for an on-line video of a segment from Comedy Central's Jon Stewart that hilariously covers all the foregoing points about the Sears Tower "event."
Do you recall last year's "London 7/7" train and bus bombings, supposedly pulled off by members of a Muslim terror cell carrying bombs in backpacks? Eyewitnesses stated that the blast went up through the floors of the trains, which in itself disproves the government story, similar to the OKC false-flag bombs which blew outward from the Murrah Building, not toward the building from where McVeigh's truck supposedly sat. What's more, just like 9/11's malfunctioning airport cameras that filmed no terrorists boarding planes, the London-7/7 on-bus cameras allegedly weren't working, so as to catch the perps in the act. And, just like so many other of these little "terrorist" acts, the government had been running simultaneous exercises concerning the very thing that they claimed was done by Muslims. How coincidental.
Nor should we forget about Bush's bald-faces lies concerning the Al Qaeda connection and Weapons of Mass Destruction that justified his invading and destroying Iraq, thereby losing over 10,000 American soldiers to date (the government admits to only a fraction of them).
Muslims as Victims - of Our Deception
Now, maybe the guy arrested recently really thought he might be able to blow up the plane, unlikely as experts say that would be, given the quantities of materials he is alleged to have had. Maybe, in some misguided way, like Tim McVeigh and the Okalahoma City bombing, he saw himself fighting the good fight. If so, I virtually guarantee you that he was led into it by government agents, just like the first World Trade Center bombing, which history shows that the involved "terrorists" were recruited, organized and provided all necessary materials and equipment, including explosives, by America's own FBI. At minimum, evidence of advance knowledge on the part of government officials of an impending terrorist attack, an attack then allowed to take place, in itself justifies prosecution of those same officials.
Word has filtered down from "unnamed sources" that many at the highest levels of government wanted the perps taken down only after a few planes had been blown out of the sky. What is wrong with this picture? In an honest courtroom, we could get convictions of all government officials with prior knowledge of these events - and not just on conspiracy charges, either.
False Flags Fluttering in History's Breeze
Alex Jones also has posted an instructive article in which he recounts and documents a great number of past "false flag" terror alerts and events later shown to have been government hoaxes or masterminded by government. He describes one operation that particularly stands out as providing the template for the current claims of Blair and Bush:
Press reports that the dastardly new terror plot is a re-hash of
Operation Bojinka - a 1995 plot to blow up 10 Western airliners simultaneously.
What they don't report is that its ringleader - Ramzi Youssef - was protected by
the US government in 1992. In September of 1992
Youssef entered the US with Ahmad Ajaj. Ajaj's luggage contained
documents on how to make bombs and was stuffed with fake passports and ID's.
Ajaj was arrested - amazingly, Youssef was released.
"Youssef later masterminded the WTC '93 bombing after
agents provided the terrorists with real explosives under cover of a
supposed sting operation.
"Ramzi Youssef is a US government agent and his Bojinka plot - supposedly foiled
by his intelligence agency bosses - is now being used as the latest monster
under the bed to scare US and UK citizens into surrendering what's left of their
rights. Isn't it amazing that US government officials claimed ignorance of
any Bojinka style plans before 9/11 and yet now they re-hash one for a faux
terror alert."
Of course, then there is 9/11, the mother of all false-flag events, for which both the Afghani and Iraqi wars allegedly are being fought, and in which the evidence of Israeli and American government complicity is even more overwhelming than is America's in the case of the Oklahoma City bombing.
Films like Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9-11" and the truly masterful "Loose Change" (which can be downloaded from the preceding URL) do a good job of dislodging one from the notion that box-cutter-wielding Arabs with no real flight training somehow pulled off 9/11.
The official cover-up story about 9/11 fast is unraveling just lately, too, just as I noted earlier in this article.
The FBI certainly wants all of us to forget the first World Trade Center bombing, mentioned above, in which the FBI was caught red handed providing the explosives that were used.
At minimum, Israel is proven to have had advance knowledge of the 1983 Beirut US Marine Corps barracks bombing, yet it did not warn America. Therefore, Israel is complicit in that bombing, as well.
History is rife with far too many false flag events: The Reichstag Fire, Pearl Harbor, Sinking of the Lusitania, for example. Like 9/11, far too many bear Zionist fingerprints of one sort or another.
After all this time and all these "events," you no longer believe in coincidence, do you? Surely, I can be forgiven for simply assuming that this latest plot to terrorize Americans and Brits is just another in a long string of government-sponsored "false-flag" operations. In fact, it was so obvious that something was coming that even I announced at the outset of this month: "9/11 Comes in August this Year," the name of a piece in which I gave many of the reasons why another contrived terror event like this had to happen.
Here's the bottom line when dealing with these events: Always follow the money ... always ask, "Who benefits?" a question that will lead to the truth each and every time.
Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop
Our ongoing problem: This past week's two-part liquid plane bomb dog just isn't hunting. The only people buying this event as genuine are those who insist upon believing our government-controlled mainstream media.
Then, of course, despite recent lessons proving that neither Israel nor the U.S. can win these wars against seemingly defenseless Arab countries, the Neocon warmongers still need something to induce the American and British public to get behind the Israeli-dictated attack against Iran, one Middle Eastern country that actually seems capable of defending itself.
"They" will have to up the ante with something even worse, likely something that results in the loss of a great many innocent American and/or British lives. A small price to pay to ensure the political careers of Bush, Blair and Olmert and, of course, the nonstop flow of American money and arms to Israel so that it can kill even more Lebanese women and children. At least, this time the money trail is more than a little obvious. And they have to do it soon, because the American mid-term Congressional elections get ever closer.
In the fullness of time, I wager that, as with 9/11, in addition to elements of both America's and Britain's current criminal regimes, Israel's fingerprints will be detected all over the recent "liquid bomber" plot, not to mention the upcoming disaster that still needs to occur. Don't forget: Never trust a man with a comb-over.
Of course, it is an Israeli company that already is responsible for American airport terminal security, isn't it?
The money. Don't forget to follow the money. Always, the money will lead you straight to the one responsible for a given event - the one who benefits from it.

The easy answer: What First Amendment?
Reality: The Patriot Act, but our government now does

"I believe the purpose of the current war is to provide a causus

Afghanistan, will it win that war?' A few moments later the

... since then we have had Iraq, and are we winning there?"
The war against Afghanistan is far from over and certainly
has not been won (nor will it be).
Peter writes: "History

We just think so. It can, and will, get

Why...it makes me feel just like it always does when one

Matthew writes: "I would just like to say that after reading your columns and articles for some time I purchased your book "Defensive Racism." Once I started reading it, I was unable to put it down. I actually finished my first run through in one night. I am now on my second time through to catch the details I may have missed the first time. For me the end result is that everything you have outlined matches up so well with current events and the imminent downfall of the USA (and maybe everyone else as well) that I felt compelled to get another copy to send to my father. I don't like to use the word "prophecy," but I will deem your predictions and insight to be close to it."
Levi writes: "I just wish to send my thanks for your work thus far! I have read Defensive Racism and found it a great, informative read. I am a frequent reader of your nickel rants and after reading the "9/11 Comes in August this year" rant I just could not help but send a word of appreciation. Your insight is amazing, sir, and I am glad you bring these points to the forefront."
That's just a handful of those that have come in recently. Again, thank you - everybody - for writing. A lot of new list members have signed on recently, which I find gratifying. I see that the thinking expressed in these rants and columns is becoming more appealing to the great mass of Americans disaffected by recent world and domestic events. Consider taking a risk and forwarding this on to some others whom you previously believed might not have been receptive to your more "radical" correspondents' thoughts - you may end up being pleasantly surprised.

NIS America has partnered up with Atlus to bring JRPG Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan to EU stores this summer - a slight delay on its originally-expected spring release.
The game released in Japan in July 2012 and arrived in US stores in February 2013. As in those regions, it will arrive at both retail and as a digital download via the 3DS eShop.
NIS says a demo of the game will be released on eShop "early this summer leading up to the game's release".
In Legends of the Titan "players explore beautiful yet menacing realms - each varied in flora and fauna - mapping their journey along the way using the touch screen and their stylus.
"No two games are ever the same, thanks to a character creation and party customization system that encourages experimentation and rewards creativity and imagination."
The developer also says the while the game was "built with older hardcore gamers in mind", a new Casual mode has been added for newcomers to the series.
For a sneak peek at the game in action, here's the US launch trailer:

Calling All Heroes
Announcing the Heroes Expansion for BattleLore |
Battlelore | Published 24 June 2009 |
Coming this Fall, Fantasy Flight Games is proud to release the long-awaited expansion for BattleLore, BattleLore: Heroes. In this expansion, leaders and champions will be called to the fields of battle to aid their sides with new skills and artifacts. The road to adventure and glory is never easy and fledgling adventurers will begin their campaigns with only the barest of abilities and must survive the harsh realities of war to become a legendary hero.
Over the next few weeks, as we prepare for the release of BattleLore: Heroes, we will explore the career paths a player's hero can follow in the BattleLore: Heroes expansion pack. In each preview, we will present the class-specific skills that type of hero can use as well as what type of play strategy complements this type of hero. We begin with our first hero:
The Cleric
"The best way to defend against an attack is to not get hit."
The Cleric is a fit into both offensive and defensive strategies. A slow advance of units built upon keeping units bold is only bolstered by the Cleric's hit negation abilities. Likewise, overextended units can cause more havoc the longer they can stay on the field so a nearby Cleric can provide the extra turn or two of protection needed to accomplish your objectives.
Looking at the initial skill selection of the Cleric, there are three that players can take as the other two class-specific skills have prerequisites.
The first is "Riding" which is a skill that each hero has available. It allows the hero to ride a horse and be treated as a mounted figure which is important if you wish to attach the hero to a cavalry unit. However, while your hero is still developing, it may be better to take one of the defensive skills particular to the Cleric.
Click on the image to the right for a larger version.
The second skill is "Chant." This is a very useful skill which allows the Cleric to force attackers to roll one less battle die when attacking the hex he is in. As a basic skill, this skill can actually keep your hero alive longer since potential casualties can be avoided. Players must learn this in order to learn "Battle Hymn" which extends this effect to an adjacent unit.
Click on the image to the left for a larger version.
The third skill is called "Herbal Remedy." The importance of this skill is also great since it is the prerequisite for two other Cleric skills. "Herbal Remedy" allows the troop a Cleric is leading to ignore a hit. The two other skills, "Prayer for the Dying" and "Healing Hands" both expand on this skill, one for for when the Cleric is alone and one for protection of an adjacent troop.
Click on the image to the right for a larger version.
A player taking this hero for the first time may want to take "Herbal Remedy" since the skill is worthwhile from the beginning and it allows for a certain amount of flexibility when choosing a second skill depending on how you see your Cleric functioning.
All in all, the Cleric will have a greater chance to shine in the early game especially against an opponent's more offensive hero that is not yet developed since the Cleric can potentially be able to stay of the field of battle longer and accumulate more experience.
Next Time: Put on your footpads, blacken your knives, and pull your hood down low as we take a look at The Rogue... Stay tuned for more news, previews, and more as we lead up to the Fall 2009 release of BattleLore: Heroes.
Set in a world that bridges history and fantasy, BattleLore is board game that puts players in command of a vast array of miniature troops on the battlefields of medieval Europe. Using the easy-to-learn Commands and Colors system, players can wage thrilling battles without a lengthy time commitment.
Is the lore cost on these cards coming from the the lore pool or the hero himself? If the hero, how does a hero generate lore? Does it work like a creature in that regard?
Good news just to show that the game is not dead. Still the price is to big and the packaging continues to be somewhat lacking. No offense to FFG since ,correct me if i am wrong, this is an expansion that was in some part already developed by DoW.
I am still waiting for the great news of an army box or something, presenting a new race with all the needed cards and models. Wishfull thinking maybe but FFG has proven in the past that can produce expansions that really better the original game.
P.S. Publish more scenarios! Especially semi-historical ones.
And a campaign book will not be bad either :)
ok, i will buy this expansion...... fragging completist syndrome....
But have FF missed the boat. Historical heroes could have been incorporated making the expansion a much fuller rounded idea, as well as Lore Member heroes.
Now. no doubt the stuff of dragons and monsters and Joan of Arcs etc will be another expansion. David
Yes! Finally! Well done FFG. Time to get a leauge up and running in the southern reaches of the world I feel!
Hope there are both mounted and foot and maybe in future expansions different heroes/creatures to boot!
Painting these guys will be a must. Price is a bit steep though...especially when converted to New Zealand dollars...but hey thats why we work :-)
Bring it ON!
FANTASTIC NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but the price...
Of course, the biggest questionwill it be available at GenCon?
The Day has finally come. Nice work FFG.
Oooooooooo, niiiiiiice. Looks like it's time to plan another covert game purchase mission, deep under the wife's 'Haven't you got enough of that stuff already!?' radar! heh heh
Without sounding ungrateful, whats the chance of re-issuing the additional unit packs put out by DoW? ;o)
What can I say this looks so cool and fun, can't wait to play.
Great news in deed :)
That just made me go and buy all the other four expansions I was still missing. Sounds very intruiging and rewarding for a longer ongoing gaming relationship! Can't wait till this comes out in German!
Funny thing is that I didn't think about different models for mounted/unmounted. I figured that 10 figures meant two figures per hero so that each player can have one... But probably I was wrong.
Hurraay - finally - happened to play a epic battle the other day - got me in again - now this is great news.
Still - i second the 'German Version', please, please (bamby eyes).
I wonder what the other heroes will look like, and, as kilrah mentions - is there any connnections to the lore-cards? would be cool (I suppose there is a connections, makes no sense to me to take a cleric figure not having any cleric in the war-council)
Seconded. I soooooo hope for a simultanous German release like in the days of DoW, but I fear it will need another 6 Months at least :-(
As for the expansion itself - hmm... The first thing that strikes me odd is that this is a small box release. Yeah - it is only a 10 figure pack (which is actually more then I expected), so I dunno where the idea in my head originated that this would be base game sized, but somehow it did. But who is to complain - I actually wonder how they squeezed all that content into that box. Whats really cool is that there are multiple figures per hero to indicate different states (mounted/unmounted) instead of status tokens. Outstanding! Whats maybe not so cool is that it seems to be impossible for both players to use the same hero without buying two packs. Is that needed? Unknown.
As for what is revealed from the mechanic side: sounds a bit like the heroes from the WoW game. Is that a good thing? Well partially I guess. I hope this doesn't lead to the same degree of complexity as this would be overwealming for a game like battlelore. Except that - yeah sounds very cool. I wonder what general rules are common to all heroes. Everything seen so far is fairly lore intensive. Wonder what free effects the heroes have. Finally - there seems to be no link between the heroes and the might cards at this point. Condsidering that they are the same power sources this seems odd. But we'll have to wait and see if there is some hidden linkage we haven't seen yet.

Does anyone have any tips on propagating Rosa californica?
We took cuttings in the fall and had a really bad success rate. Will the rose only root at specific times of the year? I also thought we kept the cuttings too wet in the greenhouse. Plus these are very small diameter cuttings from fresh growth. Is that a problem? If anyone has any tips please pass them on. |

I'm not familiar with Rosa californica but I would guess that it should respond well to general rose propagation techniques. Either way, you might want to ask your question on the Rose propagation forum. There's more specialized rose knowledge there. FataMorgana |
I noticed only one link to propagation by seed on the USDA database link. http://www.nativeplantnetwork.org/network/ViewProtocols.aspx?ProtocolID=686 Below is a link to the Sacramento chapter of the CA native plant society. If you scroll down the page slightly more than half way, you will see a contact listed with a telephone number. Perhaps they can help. |
Here is a link that might be useful: propagation

Dark lighting is a largely-invisible burst of energy that floods the sky with gamma rays and hurls antimatter into space, says NASA.
It sticks around for just a few a few microseconds, but if you do happen to see it, dark lighting shines with a faint purple glow, says Discovery News. The bursts of gamma rays affect the region often occupied by cruising airliners, but the radiation dose is pretty low: "similar to going to the doctor's office and getting a CT scan." So, not particularly dangerous.
Dark lightning was first discovered in 1994, and is just one of many odd and usual forms of lightning that have puzzled researchers in the past few decades.
Regular lightning, which you'll find arcing down from a thundercloud, is dazzling enough, especially when watched at high speed.

Also we are proud to inform you that we bought exclusive rights for all products and server decisions of Vivat Computer Service (TM Qplaze) well known in CIS content developer.
Ukrainian office represents our company interests in CIS countries and Baltic States. Evgeniy Korobka the sale department director in CIS and Baltic States of NOMOC Publishing was appointed as president of NOMOC Publishing Ukraine.
Evgeniy Korobka works in content-service sector for more than 4 years. He has successful experience in developing of important projects in the sector of mobile service in Ukraine. That s why we re glad to see him as a head of our publisher Ukrainian office, also he perfectly understands this market, knows content-providers business from within, knows their problems and successes. But the main thing is that Evgeniy (may be it is high-flown said but it is still truth) is a sincere admirer of mobile game industry - said the president of Vivat Computer Service (TM Qplaze) Andrey Baranovskiy.
Today, there are more than 100 premium games in the catalogue of NOMOC Publishing; all these games have great success in CIS and Baltic States and in EU states. Two new games noted by large European aggregators were published in November. Soon you ll be able to buy these games on such operator portals: Vodafone, T-Mobile, Orange etc. Age of Heroes III Orc s retribution the most successful Qplaze project will be published in December. You can already see the story of the game on official game site:
8 new games will be proposed by NOMOC Publishing to content-providers in the beginning of 2007, these games will be distinguished by their ideas and design quality!
I know the Qplaze team for a long time. They astonish all the time! I visited their mind attack sessions when discuss their new and current projects surgeon s words occur We re losing them, doctor - their discussions are so hot, so you start to think that they live in their games I m pleased by our companies decision to cooperate! this will be very successful cooperation!.. - said the president of NOMOC Publishing Ukraine Korobka Evgeniy.
In a view of frequent piracy cases in the sector of intellectual property, all NOMOC Publishing products are protected by the certifications of Russian FIIP (Federal Institute of Industrial Property). All companies rights for presented games, content and server-based decisions are proved by the exclusive right contracts with rightholders or copyrights for own products.
The only obstacle to NOMOC s entry on the market of CIS and our work with some content-providers is a conflict with Russian Mobile Entertainment company having no right for Qplaze products and didn t wanting to recognize that. But this question is the competence of the group of law companies working with us. For the majority of providers, the receiving of the letter from Vivat Computer Service (TM Qplaze) the single and exclusive owner of the games and from our company, it was enough reason to start cooperation. But it strange to hear requests (these are rear cases) to receive something else it looks like you were asked by the policeman to show something else except passport to certify your person - said NOMOC Publishing Ukraine sales manager in CIS and Baltic States, Irina Litviakova.
Server-based decisions, developed by us or by our partners, licensing is the special trend of NOMOC Publishing work. We re going to propose to content-providers and operators new services having no analogues on the CIS market and increasing your partner s income.
In October 2006 service Mobile Safe was launched with operator Kievstar. This service grows 50 % monthly in quantitative and financial indexes that s a real success, knowing that 6 months before we tried to persuade everyone to launch this service. Tried to persuade everyone that this service will be essential for the market ... and now we have 12 requests for this service , - said Korobka Evgeniy.
Every year NOMOC Publishing will hold the ceremony NOMOC Awards presenting the winners valuable prizes and decorations. Companies-winners will be able to pretend on special cooperation conditions with NOMOC Publishing, advertising support of NOMOC Publishing products selling.
NOMOC Publishing welcomes everyone who carries on business with honesty, quality, prospects and respect to partners! Let s develop civilized market, and gain moral and financial satisfaction.

No, you're a long title.
Let's think back to a more innocent time. A time of whimsy and laughter. A time before the words "Sean" and "Avery" had entered our lexicon. A time when we…well, okay, I guess we still hated Gary Bettman. Yes, ye olde lockout of 2004 was a very different time for all of us. Yet, as it was and will be, it still totally sucked. However, there was a key difference back in those days of yore and that was a difference of access.
I mean, think about it, social media has absolutely exploded in the last eight years. So much so that if I had said the phrase "social media" to you in 2004 you'd think I was some sort of crazy person. Or a person who could make you rich. I am neither. Well, kind of the first thing. I'm getting off track. Point is, I've run out of things to blame the NHL lockout on so I'm just going to blame the Internet instead. Because why not?
Obviously there has always been some sort of social media as long as the Internet has been around. Remember ICQ? That counts. But never has social media so revolutionized the world of sport quite like with the advent of Twitter. Remember back in 2004 when you wanted news about the lockout? You had to stay glued to Lockout Center 2004 or whatever the hell TSN called whatever the hell they were putting on the air that year (times were tough, guys, it's not like they could just throw repeats of old World Junior games on every week). You had to wait for Elliote Friedman to totally upstage Peter Mansbridge each night on The National. While the lack of information was frustrating at times, I truly, truly miss it.
Look, I enjoy Twitter. I enjoy having constant access and updates to pretty much anything I want. But all the access we have to news about this year's lockout is just making it all hurt more. Last week, as we all awaited the NHLPA's reaction to the NHL's take it or leave it proposal, I found myself frantically refreshing Twitter as the tiniest bits of news came trickling down the series of tubes and felt my heart break slowly, 140 characters at a time. In 2004, this wouldn't have happened. Twitter wasn't yet a thing and we merely had press conferences and Darren Dreger's Blackberry to tell us what we needed to know. Yeah, it's slower but it also leads to so much less agonizing over analyzing. Yeah, there were blogs, but it wasn't the constant, instant stream of news that we have now.
Then there's Reddit. Insert /jailbait joke here. Yesterday, an unnamed NHL executive staged an AmA (Internet speak for Ask Me Anything, real world speak for Ask Me Anything That Doesn't Disparage The Owners or Gary Bettman) to answer fans questions about the NHL lockout. Seeing as how this was not only the Internet, but Reddit, it was amazing that 90% of the questions weren't "fuck you." I know it would have been mine. Anyway, whether or not you look at this and see unprecedented access to a person of importance (it wasn't) or just another NHL PR stunt (it was), it was certainly a new way to pass along information. It didn't really pass along any new information (Bettman deserves our respect, the owners feel horrible for what this is doing to the fans, Donald Fehr has the negotiating tact of a dung beetle, etc.) but it was, at least, an attempt.
The larger problem with social media and the lockout, however, is the fact that it has increased the ease with which the NHL and NHLPA were able to turn this into a PR battle. And let's not kid ourselves, this thing has become almost exclusively a PR battle. Who can look better? Who can posture more? Which one is the bigger jackass? Oh, I hope the fans buy into our bullshit! Why do you think that is? It's because of these magic things on the Internet. Bettman has always been a smarmy jackass, this is not news, but now this smarmy jackass has unlimited access to the fans of his league. Now he can try to look like less of a smarmy jackass by throwing one of his lackeys onto Reddit. Now he can leak proposals and flip the script, or attempt to, and we all have to just accept that. I would argue that this whole thing could have been, if not solved, at least further along were it not for the access to the PR machine that is Twitter. It's so easy to posture now, why not try and make your side look as good as possible? Does anyone really think that Bettman would have leaked the league's proposal if there were no Twitter to analyze it and pick it apart? Twitter and Reddit and the like have allowed this to be a very public PR battle and, because we are now all witnesses, it's a battle that is going to go on for a lot longer than it should. Because it can. You know that old cliche that the Internet is made up of vulgar, stubborn 12-year-olds and Bettman and Fehr are doing their best to keep that cliche alive.
Obviously, it's not all bad. There's something enjoyable about being able to hear an athlete's political beliefs and then see said beliefs get completely torn apart by the rest of the Internet and, I mean, if anyone specializes in nonsensical bullshit it's professional athletes. Twitter was practically made for them. But there's just so much additional nonsense that has come with the lockout because those behind it have the ability to make it so. There's nothing we can do about it, either. Because now we need our access. We need the constant updates. Without them, we'd probably just be complaining that there was no news (well, there isn't any news even with the constant updates but you know what I mean). But the fact remains that social media has negatively impacted this lockout and it's going to make it so it gets a lot worse before it gets better.
Although, I mean…

Client-side refers to operations that are performed by the client in a client–server relationship in a computer network.
Typically, a client is a computer application, such as a web browser, that runs on a user's local computer or workstation and connects to a server as necessary. Operations may be performed client-side because they require access to information or functionality that is available on the client but not on the server, because the user needs to observe them or provide input, or because the server lacks the processing power to perform the operations in a timely manner for all of the clients it serves. Additionally, if operations can be performed by the client, without sending data over the network, they may take less time, use less bandwidth, and incur a lesser security risk.
When the server serves data in a commonly used manner, for example according to the HTTP or FTP protocols, users may have their choice of a number of client programs (most modern web browsers can request and receive data using both of those protocols). In the case of more specialized applications, programmers may write their own server, client, and communications protocol, that can only be used with one another.
Programs that run on a user's local computer without ever sending or receiving data over a network are not considered clients, and so the operations of such programs would not be considered client-side operations.
Distributed computing projects such as SETI@home or NAGAR and popular applications like Google Earth rely primarily on client-side operations. The SETI@home client initiates a connection with the server and requests some data. The server selects a data set (a server-side operation) and sends it back to the client. The client then analyzes the data (a client-side operation), and, when the analysis is complete, transmits its results back to the server.

Chris Marshall is a popular man thanks to his pet transport scheme that operates between the UK, Europe and Spain. ALStrays' two vans are fully DEFRA licensed and meet the stringent requirements for carrying animals on journeys longer than 24 hours.
Based in Almerimar in the south of Spain, ALStrays will carry adopted pets to their new homes in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany and also transport pets across the channel to the UK, cutting out the difficult process of transporting animals through France and Spain.
It is currently very difficult for anyone without a car to take their pets to Spain from the UK as pet friendly, inter-regional train services end in Perpignon, southern France (you can only take dogs under 8 kilos on the train hotel but you have to pay for the whole cabin) and Spain's RENFE will only allow pets on shorter, local lines (provided they are muzzled). Getting from Perpignon to Spain is still quite a hassle as bus services are also not pet friendly. Ferry companies insist that all passengers with pets must have a vehicle and a pet friendly cabin.
Thankfully ALStrays bypass all that hassle and their bi-monthly runs in each direction ensure that you will have plenty of options if you need to travel across the continent. They have three drivers who take three hour shifts and drive straight through. Dogs are walked at every changeover and their vans also have water supplies directly to the animals' cages.
ALStrays can also house your pet in Spain for a few days prior to travelling and their prices are very reasonable too; far cheaper than many rival pet transporters and friendlier too.
If you need more information click here to visit their website, follow them on twitter (@alstrays) or email: email@example.com
But don't take my word for it, read testimonials by satisfied customers by clicking here.
You will need to ensure your pet's passport is up to date and all jabs and boosters have been carried out if required.
