Tribal Wars: Flags
August 27, 2012 in Random Thoughts, Special Features, Strategy:TW, World 064 News
Hey, I'm Malreaux or Steve, and welcome to my in-depth review of the flag system, with information and tips and tricks on how to make the most out of your flags!
Firstly, what are flags?
The flag system is a system newly introduced to .net on W64. It will be present on most .net worlds from now on and has been used on others servers already.
Flags are an extra utility you can add to your village in Tribal Wars to give you an advantage in a specific field or area, such as giving your resource pits an extra production bonus, or making you Barracks, Stable and Workshop produce troops at a faster rate.
The different categories for what flag bonuses do are as follows:
Resource Production-Makes your resource pits produce more as an additional percentage of the whole.
Troop Recruitment Speed-Lowers the recruitment speed of all units by a percentage of the whole
Attack Strength-Increases the attack strength of all units by a given percentage
Defence Strength-Increases the defence strength of all units by a given percentage
Luck Balancing-Balances the luck factor of a battle closer to zero by a given value. So if the flag, for example balanced by 18%, 25% luck would be balanced to 7% luck, and minus 25% luck to minus 7% luck
Extra Population Capacity-Increases the population capacity of the farm by a given percentage
Cheaper Noblemen-Lowers the cost of packets/coins by a given percentage
Extra Troop Haul Capacity-Increases the resource haul capacity of all units by a given percentage
(You will notice that all bonuses are percentages, so no farming with rams quite yet)
Flags also come in different levels per category of flag.
There are nine levels and each one gives a larger bonus than all those before it. Each tier is also colour coded. Regardless of the type of flag, each tier will always be the same colour.
Here are the colours of the nine levels in ascending order, omitting the logos for the type of flag:
Here is the effect each level of each type of flag will have:
There are a number of different ways to earn flags of various levels. Each time you earn a flag, the type is completely randomised, the only thing set in stone is the level, so here are the ways to get them:
1) Quests , certain quests give low level flags as rewards
2) Awards, awards give flag rewards depending on the tier of the award, ranging from level one to level 5 for Gold awards.
Daily awards of any type always give a level 3 award.
3) Producing Noblemen , every time you successfully train a nobleman you will be awarded a level one flag.
4) Trading, there is a trade screen as part of the flag window (top right hand corner of the screen, next to the paladin icon), here you can trade a flag of any type for another flag of any type, as long as both are the same level.
5) Combining, you are able to combine three flags of the same level and type and exchange them for a single flag of the next level up, eg. Three level one flags can combine to make a level 2 flag.
6) Promotions, Innogames offer free promotional flag codes at certain times, for example at the moment three level one flags are available for little effort, just go like the Innogames Facebook page and you will receive a free code! Click here for more details.
7) OD At certain amounts of OD you will be awarded a flag, it is always level 2.
When you earn the flag you have the option of assigning it to your village.
Each village can have only one flag assigned to it at a time, and prior to exchanging the flag for another (they will not disappear, flags are permanent unless traded or combined) you must wait 24 hours since the last change. This applies to each village individually.
And here's perhaps the most influential and consequential point concerning flags, The flags you have on one world carry over to another world, meaning you have the same flags to put on your villages in W64 as you would in 65, 66 and all the following worlds. You have to choose which flag to apply to which village in which world at which point in time, and all the rules apply as though each of the villages was on the same world.
So now you know how the flag system works, time for some tips on how to use it.
Firstly, what is the fastest way to get high level flags? I will examine each of our methods from earlier.
1) Quests
Quests, whilst being quick to complete and easy to do, only give low level flag awards and can only be completed once per world, therefore they are not a good way to get high level flags, but they are certainly worth doing for the extra bonuses they offer
2) Awards
Awards are the fastest way to get an individual high level flag, ie. level 5, but like quests they can only be done once. They can also be harder to obtain than quests, as the Gold tier is the only tier that awards a level 5 flag.
Before the 8.6 update, the "Beloved Friend," award was by far the easiest way to gain flags, but since then this has been changed, as it was deemed far too easy. Now none of the awards stand out as particularly easier than another in terms of the time it takes, but the ones which require the least resources and effort are perhaps the market awards (spamming 10:10 trades with a neighbour can be very efficient) and using the little known trick to get Reliable Commander.
Instead of sacrificing a unit and getting a friend to attack the village, you can in fact get this award with zero losses. Simply place a single unit (anything but a scout) in a barbarian village and send scouts at it over and over. Each scout attack will count towards reliable commander.
3) Producing Noblemen
Producing noblemen is easily the most reliable and consistent way to get flags, but it is also one of the most expensive.
If you get a single level one flag for producing a noble, that means you can combine 3 of them to get a level 2, so 3 nobles means a level 2 flag. Seeing as you need three flags to combine, for each level we multiply by three, so:
=lvl 1 flag
lvl 2
lvl 3
lvl 4
lvl 5
That right there is 243 nobles
A single level 7 flag would be 729
A single level 8 flag would be 2187
A single level 9 flag through producing solely noblemen would be a minimum of Six thousand, five hundred and sixty one nobles.
If that doesn't have you convinced it's too much, on a packet world that means 19683 academy levels.
It also means, brace yourself,
21,526,641 packets (that's 21 and a half million)
Just to terrify you more, this would be 2187 Level three academies
And the icing on the cake, the cost, assuming your villages all have level three academies, the cost, by producing solely noblemen, of one level 9 flag would be
602,975,583,000 wood
646,181,955,000 clay
538,319,115,000 iron
And on top of that, seeing as the chance of getting the flag you want is 1/9, if you have a specific one in mind, it could cost ten times that.
So if you want to spend months of your life farming and nobling thousands of villages, at the end of it one of your 6000 will have a level 9 flag.
That concludes this first part of the Flag Review, part two will come tomorrow, or the next day if it's extra good Click HERE to go to it
And to all those wondering about the 64 blog, that'll also be coming very soon.
Last but not least, some of you may know that i've been putting Easter eggs in my posts, in the form of a link somewhere (anywhere throughout the post), well from now on the first person to send Malreaux a forum mail with the words printed on the Easter egg wins 50pp! There will also be a hint every week. Today's hint: It's in a very noble place

Afghanistan's Kandahar Airfield an alleged heroin hotbed
Toor Jan was clearly nervous when he arrived at the guesthouse in Kandahar, Afghanistan. "If my boss found out I did this, he will shoot me," the young heroin dealer told the Georgia Straight in an interview.
Toor Jan (not his real name) described last March how he sold large amounts of heroin to Afghan translators working at two NATO bases in Kandahar who, in turn, resold the heroin to NATO soldiers.
Toor Jan said he and his partner were selling from 270 grams to one kilogram of heroin weekly to the translators working at Kandahar Airfield—until recently headquarters of Canada's mission in Afghanistan—and at Kandahar City's Camp Nathan Smith, former home of the Canadian provincial reconstruction team.
It's enough to get 2,700 to 10,000 users high. The street value in Vancouver would be $54,000 to $200,000.
It works out to about 14 to 52 kilograms annually, worth up to approximately $10.4 million. (Toor Jan said his boss employs two other teams of dealers who sell similar amounts of heroin to translators at the NATO bases.) In comparison, Canadian police seize only about 70 kilos of heroin in an average year in all of Canada.
Toor Jan said he had heard that some foreign contractors also buy heroin and are involved in smuggling it through Kandahar's airport but that they "normally deal with other people, not with small guys like us".
A Kandahar district official who has extensive knowledge of the heroin trade also said some foreign contractors and NATO military personnel are involved in trafficking heroin by plane to North America out of Afghan airports that are under NATO control.
"They have Afghan people who go through the process and purchase the drugs for them. Once it is acquired, they bring it to them, and they smuggle it to North America," the official said in an interview in a Kandahar guesthouse. "They use the airports."
(It is Georgia Straight policy to include anonymous sources in stories only in exceptional circumstances, such as when sources' safety or employment could be jeopardized if their names were revealed. Wherever possible, their identities are confirmed with editors, and—to the extent possible—the Straight corroborates their information with named sources.)
The accounts give a rare glimpse into how some NATO personnel and contractors seem to have gotten ensnared in Afghanistan's multibillion-dollar narco economy, which supplies 90 percent of the world's opium, the raw ingredient of heroin.
Canada and other NATO powers have long been accused of turning a blind eye to a 15-fold increase in Afghan opium production since 2001 (according to UN figures) and cozying up to Afghan warlords and officials reputed to be involved with drugs.
But these new accounts suggest NATO's presence helps fuel the gigantic Afghan drug trade.
The accounts are reminiscent of the Vietnam War, when U.S. forces befriended opium-dealing warlords in Southeast Asia and many U.S. soldiers became addicted to heroin, with some smuggling it back home.
A Canadian military historian said the notion that NATO soldiers are buying heroin in Afghanistan and smuggling it out is "completely plausible".
"It doesn't surprise me at all. That's the way things are there," Sean Maloney, associate professor of history at the Royal Military College, said by phone from Kingston, Ontario.
"In an environment like that, anything is possible."
With between 200 and 700 daily flights, the Kandahar Airfield is the world's busiest single-runway airport. The airfield/NATO base is the size of a small city, home to 30,000 NATO troops and contractors and, until recently, headquarters of Canada's mission in Afghanistan.
The last Canadian troops left KAF on December 12 as the military assumes its new role training the Afghan army, mostly in Kabul, near the country's border with Pakistan.
It's easy to see how drugs could flood into KAF. A reporter from the Straight experienced only a cursory security check at KAF's outer gate in a visit last spring. Inside is a large area housing thousands of Afghan and foreign contractors.
A second, more heavily guarded, gate controls entry to the NATO compound, but NATO troops and contractors can easily mingle between the two gates.
An Afghan source who works at KAF said Afghan contractors are widely known to bring in heroin for their own use and for use by NATO troops.
"It is dangerous and stressful work. They are in constant fear. So they use heroin to feel invincible and calm," he said in an interview in Kandahar City.
He said some Afghan shopkeepers with stalls at the weekly base bazaar also bring in heroin.
"You're dealing with a frontier town," Maloney said of KAF. "I call it Deadwood."
Maloney is an adviser to Canadian Forces chief of the land staff Lt.-Gen. Peter Devlin and has travelled to Afghanistan 10 times. The army has commissioned Maloney to write the history of its involvement in Afghanistan.
Maloney stressed that he was speaking as an RMC professor, not for the Canadian military.
He said KAF seems to have become an important new smuggling waypoint in recent years. The new route emerged as Afghan heroin barons sought to seize more profits by circumventing Pakistani middlemen who traditionally processed opium into heroin and smuggled it abroad through the Pakistani port of Karachi.
"They realized that with an airport [in Kandahar], they can cut the Pakistanis out," he said.
Toor Jan said his Afghan translator clients smuggle heroin into KAF in their shoes. He said he charges them US$20 to $25 for a package of three or four grams of heroin (locals pay the equivalent of only about $6), which they resell to NATO soldiers for $40 to $50. (Each package would have a street value of $600 to $800 in Vancouver.)
"Since the foreigners are not allowed to drink liquor, they use heroin and other drugs," he said.
"The last Canadian troops left KAF on December 12 as the military assumes its new role training the Afghan army, mostly in Kabul, near the country's border with Pakistan."
"Two former Canadian soldiers said opium use among Afghan police, soldiers, and translators was widespread and sometimes posed operational problems."
.......suggest that the 1,000 or so Canuck troops left to train Afghan police and military are a mere sop to the west's insistence that the war was "won" and will not be effective at all, at least until the locals are weaned from the use of the country's number one (and time-honored) crop.
Hear this children. If there aren't buyers there can't be sellers, we keep making the worst people in society the richest and pretend we're oh so shocked. Gold was once the International measure of value, then it became the U.S. dollar - now it's a kilo of cocaine.
You think the troops are there "bringing democracy"??
Think again.
Strange that the extent of the poppy fields has not diminished.
Have a Happy (sober) New Year.
Drugs have been used to generate $$$ by both 'terrorists' and those that proclaim to be 'fighting terrorism' for many years. How else does 350 metric tons (over 1/3 of the World supply) of cocaine a year get delivered from Columbia past the American 'homeland security' and into the hands of the public? And with the fact that the cultivation and production of heroin has risen from 70% to over 90% of the Worlds production all under the protection of NATO. Could nato be an acronym for "north american terrorist order", using drugs to fuel their tyrannical endeavors? Their history seems to prove it.
The cocaine, etc, gets by Homeland Security because it's needed to fuel the kickbacks that have come to symbolize the American enterprise system. 1/3 of the global economy is "informal". Why should not America be part of this - especialy as job security is rapidly becoming a joke, both there and here?
Because it is against the law.
Anonymous = no accountability for whats said = say whatever you damn well feel like cause no one can prove otherwise.
I'm embarrassed educated Canadians buy into this stuff.
Again, translators selling drugs at Camp Nathan Smith? They're searched coming onto base, leaving base & everyone watches them on base. Either they have cloaking generators or half of the Canadian forces turn a blind eye to drug selling right in-front of them.

F.E.A.R. took the PC by storm, is boldly slapping up the Xbox 360, offering further PC adventures with expansion pack Extraction Point and is now confirmed for Sony's next-gen console, the PS3, CVG can exclusively reveal today.
Following hot on the heels of the announcement of F.E.A.R. multiplayer for free, CVG's investigative reporters have learned that the mighty shooting franchise, which offers superb slow mo gun battles and pant-wetting Japanese-influenced horror, will be marching straight onto Sony's next-gen console.
No further details were forthcoming from our sources, but we'd have to hope the game would power onto the PS3 on or around the time of launch - and there's even the possibility that it might make use of the PS3's funky tilting controller for some of the game's crunching melee moves. Hopefully it'll make good use of the PS3's online capabilities too, offering PS3 owners a chance to indulge in splendid multiplayer shooting.
None of that's confirmed of course, as we're writing it wearing our hat of enormous speculation, but it swells the shooting credentials of Sony's next-gen console, joining other big hitters like Valve's Half-Life 2.
When we contacted Vivendi we were met with a firm "no comment" on F.E.A.R. PS3, still, it's exciting news indeed and we'll bring you more on the game as it shivers in.
Check out CVG's list of some of the Best PS3 games here.

Maritime Provinces
Maritime Provinces
Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. They are located on the Atlantic Coast and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. With Newfoundland and Labrador they form the Atlantic Provinces. The name Acadia was applied to much of the region during French colonial rule, until it was ceded to the British in 1713.

Abraham Lincoln seems like he was a good guy.
When his son Tad falls asleep on the floor, Lincoln lays his lanky body next to him. He values the opinion of every character in his cabinet, and describes his trust in Union General Ulysses S. Grant as "marrow deep."
Oh yeah, and he put his presidency (and ultimately his life) on the line to pass the 13th Amendment and abolish slavery.
An unusually cheery Daniel Day-Lewis embodies the former president in Steven Spielberg's magnificent Lincoln, Spielberg's best since Saving Private Ryan and possibly the best film of the year. Day-Lewis's Honest Abe, a delicate, patient figure, captures the attention of everybody watching him, both in the audience and within the film. With a strained, high-pitched voice that nobody expects at first, Day-Lewis coos every word out of his mouth slowly, no matter how long his (many) stories take for him to complete. One, his deliberate tale of Ethan Allen putting up a portrait of George Washington in an outhouse, functions like Norm MacDonald's "Moth Joke" : if you're able to make it through to the end, you're in for a treat.
While Lincoln's pragmatism and ability to unite are certainly on display, his characteristic that is most apparent is his (and his colleagues') conversational eloquence. Tony Kushner (Angels in America) pared down Doris Kearns Goodwin's sprawling Team of Rivals to a taut, snappy, four-month snapshot of Lincoln's push to pass the 13th Amendment. Kushner takes a story that may not seem exciting on the surface (unless you're really into congressional arguments about constitutional law) and infuses it with a Sorkin-ish energy. Congressmen call each other out on the House floor, most notably Radical Republican / questionable hair-styler Thaddeus Stevens (Tommy Lee Jones), whose calls for abolition are soaked with hilarious sarcasm. Mary Todd Lincoln (Sally Field) rants as a politician's controlled, sharp wife in one scene and as a crazy, unhinged one in the next. Even James Spader (in likely his best film role in 20 years) gets in on the action as Lincoln's deliciously unappetizing operative William Bilbo.
But it's Day-Lewis who gets all the thunder, and deservedly so. His role may not have the same external brutal intensity as some of his previous ones (he never gets in a good Daniel Day-Lewis guttural yell, like There Will Be Blood's "I've abandoned my child!" or The Crucible's "Because it is my name!"), but there's a different kind of intensity. His acting requires such measured restraint, simultaneously conveying the goodness of Lincoln's soul with the weathered weariness of his heart. When we watch him trudge his way out of the White House on the way to Ford's Theater on April 14, we feel like we're about to lose someone we've known for our entire lives, even though we've merely watched him for four movie-months. And that feeling is not just a testament to the great work done by Day-Lewis, Spielberg, Kushner and the rest of the supremely talented cast, but also to the superlative legacy Abraham Lincoln left behind.

Think Happy Thoughts
1. If you call in sick, your boss actually believes you.
2. Just three weekends in February means your recession-reduced fun-time budget will go a little further.
3. And one of them is three days long. Thanks, Presidents' Day!
4. Even though you have to dig it out to actually drive it, your car can't get towed for street cleaning.
5. Shoveling snow can burn more than 400 calories per hour.
6. Wearing gloves neutralizes those germy doorknobs.
7. At this time of year, you definitely know someone fatter, paler, and/or hairier than you.
8. There's 300-plus days until the holiday chaos starts up again (or at least 200 until decorations start popping up in malls).
9. You don't feel lazy for taking a cab instead of walking.
10. Without A/C units hanging out of their windows, brownstones look pretty again.
11. You can shop online for bikinis and shorts, safe in the knowledge that there's still five months till you have to fit into them.
12. Storrow Drive never gets turned into event parking in February.
13. No houseguests in their right minds would beg to go on a duck-boat tour right now.
14. It's okay to leave groceries in the car for an hour.

16. There's three whole months until you have to sit in Cape traffic again.
17. Fewer mood swings: The Sox are neither winning nor losing right now.
18. It's easier to feel like a good Samaritan: Just allowing frost-bitten pedestrians the right of way provides warm fuzzies.
19. Now that Peeps hearts have been invented, Valentine's Day has a reason to exist.
20. The holiday lights on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall are still up and twinkling.
21. Even the Hub's eyesores (hello, Allston!) look picturesque when covered in snow.
22. Slipping on ice and bruising your tush makes for a great excuse to telecommute.
23. There aren't as many crazy cyclists on the roads.
24. With the trees bare, you can peek at all the fancy W-town estates without having to go up the driveways.
25. Shorter lines at J. P. Licks.
26. Turtlenecks hide turkey necks.
27. You can buy expensive chocolate for yourself and say it's for someone else.
28. At least it's not a leap year!

Verification or knowing the details of your already allotted PAN number can be difficult task. A lot of companies and individuals especially NRIs who moved out from India look to find information about their existing PAN no's because they wish to file taxes in India and want to make sure that they have the right number issued to their name.
A PAN number is something that we all need. In order to carry out any form of cash transactions – of the magnitude of over fifty thousand rupees – we need to use this number as it has been made mandatory by the authorities. NRIs might think that they are the exception to the rule, but they are not. PAN numbers are a necessity for them as well.
So what really is a PAN number? A Pan number is a permanent account Number which is issued to every Indian by the Government of India, or rather, the Income Tax Department of India. NRIs can understand this by drawing a parallel with the Social Security Number which is issued to American citizens by the IRS.
The Pan number is similar to the SSN. It is a 10 digit number and it consists of numbers as well as alphabets. This number is embossed on the PAN card. The Pan card issued to citizens of India is quite similar to their driving license. The size is the same and the details included in the Pan card include the name of the bearer, father's name, photograph, signature as well as date. In addition to this of course, is present the unique Pan number as well as the government hologram.
Looking It Up Online
A PAN card is extremely precious since it is such an important document and it is used as identification proof in many cases. Thus, people don't always carry around their Pan cards, but instead keep it within the safety of their homes. However, if, by any chance you need your Pan number but don't have your Pan card with you, you're in a spot of trouble, aren't you?
Well, my friend, if you know how to get out of sticky situations, then this should not be a problem for you. Where there is a will, there is a way! One can easily get the details of their PAN card number online. You simply need to furnish some details and your Pan card number will be provided. These details need to be provided to verify your identity and these details are basically asked for security reasons.
So what are these details that you need to provide while looking for your Pan number online? These details are quite simple and ones which you are likely to remember. You have to enter your date of birth – the same detail that you entered while applying for the card, as well as your full name. And voila! Your Pan Card number will be given to you. After you obtain your Pan Card number, quickly take it down somewhere – preferably your cell phone and then close the browser. This is to ensure maximum security.
Tax issues
Now a lot of people are misguided into thinking that having a Pan card automatically means you have to pay taxes. Most foreign countries where NRIs reside have what is known as a double tax treaty with the Government of India. This means that if you are earning abroad then you need only pay the taxes to the country of your residence and not the Indian Government.
The only time you need to pay taxes in India, is when you make money in India. Suppose you choose to invest in mutual funds and that investment has paid off then you have to pay a tax on that. But even if you don't make any money in India, do ensure to "file taxes" – you always have the option of filing Zero returns. What's the harm in being on the safe side?

If times are difficult, finding a scapegoat, or someone to blame, tends to happen. The government, through the media will attempt to redirect anger via propaganda to a number of things to deflect blame. But I believe it is the rage that fuels the hysteria and then the maniacal response, a hatred and need for a witch hunt. Dark era.
But poor leadership with bad policies (corruption), crop failure and hunger, disease, weather-related destruction of infrastructure/crop could begin first, setting the stage for riots as people go crazy when there is not enough to eat. It gives rise to a panicked feeling, very urgent and aware of every second (I need food, must find food).

Does slow from Iceborn Gantlet stacks with slow from Frozen Mallet? TY
Senior Member
Slow effects derived from items' passives do NOT stack, even when coming from different champions. Only the strongest item slow is applied at any moment. The exception to this is the active effect of Randuin's Omen, Hextech Gunblade and Bilgewater Cutlass, which stacks with other slowing items normally because they are considered champion abilities for slow stacking purposes.
No item slows stack. Passive or active or both (Gunblade will proc Rylais but only the more powerful slow will be in effect. ) ONLY the most powerful ITEM slow will have effect.
Guillaume Rapide
Iceborn Gauntlet and Frozen Mallet do stack. Frozen Mallet applies first and then they get affected by the field from Iceborn Gauntlet. The slow from Iceborn Gauntlet is negligible though because it only reduces their move speed by 30-70 more, but since it is AOE damage and an AOE slow it is still worth it.I Just tested it out.
The SHP
normally slows from different sources (different debuffs) stack with all slows weaker than the strongest one being applied multiplicatively at 1/3 value (or 35%... can't remember which, but it makes no noticeable difference). But, in the case of mallet/phage/trinity, rylai's, and iceborn, all of them apply the same 'debuff'. So none of their slows will stack with one another. If multiple of them have affected the target, the largest slow is the one that is used, but none of the others will even have an effect (until the strongest one wears off, then the next strongest will take over if it still applies)
The passive on Iceborn Gauntlet is: Unique Passive - Spellblade: After using an ability, your next basic attack deals bonus physical damage equal to 125% of your base attack damage to surrounding enemies and creates a field for 3 seconds that slows enemies inside by 35% (2 second cooldown). The question here shouldn't be whether or not two slowing items stack, because the Iceborn Gauntlet does not directly apply a slow, but rather creates a field around the target that slows. So the question is whether an AoE slow will stack with a on-hit slow.
Boo the Hamster
Iceborn Gauntlet's AoE slow doesn't stack with other items. I've tried it before and it doesn't work that way. It only procs with the item that has the most slow, however, if you don't hit them and let the slow from say, rylai's or frozen mallet wear off before the AoE slow from Iceborn Gauntlet is gone, then Iceborn Gauntlet's slow will take effect. However, Iceborn Gauntlet's slow effect is always on. If you have Frozen Mallet and Iceborn Gauntlet, you will get both the slow from Frozen Mallet and the field of slow if you use the spell blade effect The target you hit is slowed by 40% from Frozen Mallet if melee, and any other target within that field is also slowed by 35%. If you're ranged, then the slow is 35%, since ranged slows with mallet is at 30% instead of Gauntlet's 35%
rylai's, phage, trinity, mallet, and iceborn all place the same-named debuff on the enemy (albeit with differing strengths/durations), so no they won't stack at all. Only the strongest takes effect

Carlos Darci and Brazooca Band By Tom Orr Published December 19, 2006 Live At S.O.B.'sS.O.B.'s Music
Los Angeles may have Katia Moraes and Sambaguru, but New York City has Carlos Darci and Brazooca Band, its own tight and grooving outfit filling the air with Brazilian music. Darci is a Rio-born vocalist, musician, producer and arranger who leads his seasoned crew through songs penned by the likes of Gilberto Gil, Chico Buarque and Jorge Ben Jor, never failing to bring out the funky bounce essential to samba, axe and any other style they tackle. This is a remarkably crisp live recording (note, for example, the shrewd subtlety of the cuica interplay on "Besta E Tu") that suffers from some disappointingly choppy editing between tracks but delivers in abundance when the music's up and running. The songs are lengthy, allowing the singers and players to stretch out at key moments, like the swirl of militaristic drumming, fuzz guitar and response vocals that cap "Jack Sou Brasileiro," or the hip-swinging romp of "A Rita," which comes off like a cross between bossa nova, boogaloo and Santana gone Bahian.

WorldFish nominees wins Science Awards from the CGIAR
WorldFish featured in three of eight 2004 science awards announced in Mexico City (27 October) by the CGIAR, a strategic alliance of food and environmental researchers working to improve the productivity and profitability of agriculture, fisheries, livestock and forestry and foster improved food policies in developing countries. The CGIAR is supported by the United Nations and World Bank.
"Bridging the world of high science and applying it to problems faced by poor farmers is our principal objective," said Ian Johnson, CGIAR Chairman and World Bank Vice President for Sustainable Development. "This year's awards once again demonstrate the power of science in improving the incomes and livelihoods of poor farmers worldwide and protecting our environment."
The CGIAR Outstanding Partnership Award was given to Community Based Fisheries Management, a partnership coordinated by WorldFish in Bangladesh through the Department of Fisheries, Bangladesh that empowers communities by providing them knowledge so that they can make better-informed decisions on the sustainable use and management of the fisheries. Under the project cooperative relationships coordinated by WorldFish and the Department of Fisheries Bangladesh have grown to include 11 NGOs and private organizations, and more than 23,000 households living near 113 water bodies in Bangladesh. The project has set up about 100 fish sanctuaries and helped to empower vulnerable community members, particularly women and children. The thirteen NGOs providing support to this project are : Banchte Shakha, BELA, BRAC, CARITAS, CNRS, CRED, FemCom, GHORONI, SUJAN, ERA, PROSHIKA, SDC and SHISUK.
Anisul Islam of Bangladesh received the award on behalf of the team. The award carries a cash prize of US$10,000.
The award for Outstanding Scientific Support team was received by Christine Casal on behalf of the team at WorldFish who developed FishBase, an internationally recognized premier database and information system on the world's fishes. The team comprises biologists, computer programmers and web developers, and has produced over 50 publications, posters and presentations and delivered capacity-strengthening courses. This award also carries a cash prize of $10,000.
The third WorldFish nomination that won an award was for Outstanding Journalism, presented to Natasha Loder for her article "The Promise of a Blue Revolution" published in The Economist on August 9, 2003
The CGIAR supports a network of 15 Future Harvest Centers. In 2003, CGIAR invested $381 million in generating farming solutions geared toward the needs of developing countries. The Government of Mexico hosted the CGIAR's Annual General Meeting held from October 27-29, 2004.

British rock guitarist Alvin Lee, founder of the band Ten Years After who burst to stardom with a memorable Woodstock performance, has died. He was 68.
A statement posted on Lee's official website said he died Wednesday unexpectedly from complications following a routine surgical procedure. Lee's manager, Ron Rainey, said the guitarist died in Spain.
"We have lost a wonderful, much loved father and companion," said the statement signed by his daughter Jasmin, wife Evi and former companion Suzanne. "The world has lost a truly great and gifted musician."
The Nottingham, England-born Lee founded the band Ten Years After in 1967. The group first toured the U.S. in 1967, but its popularity exploded following Lee's rousing performance of the song "I'm Going Home" at Woodstock in 1969. Lee's epic and electrifying solos on his Gibson guitar for the 11-minute performance were immortalized in the documentary film about the legendary festival. READ FULL STORY

Chateau Prieure Lichine Margaux 2010

Professional Wine Reviews for Chateau Prieure Lichine Margaux 2010Additional information » |
2010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction. 2010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.
The blended red wines of Bordeaux have gone down in history as the finest wines every produced, with collectors and many of the general public still eagerly anticipating the wineries of this region's new releases to this day. The secret to Bordeaux's monumental success has been their careful blending of high quality grape varietals, controlled and protected by French law. In Bordeaux, wineries can only produce red wines using a blend of two or more of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec or Carménere grape varietals, with the latter two becoming less and less commonly seen on bottles. The vast majority of Bordeaux red wines use Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape varietals, boosted by a little Petit Verdot. These three grapes compliment each other beautifully as they age in oak, rounded out their tannins and the high astringency of the Sauvignon, and resulting in wonderfully complex flavors and aromas.
There are few wine regions in the world with a reputation as glowing and well established as that of the Bordeaux, in France. Situated mainly around the Dordogne and Gironde rivers, Bordeaux makes the most of its humid climate and rich, clay and gravel based soils to grow some of the finest examples of red and white grape varietals on earth. Wineries in this region have been in operation for hundreds of years, and have carefully developed the expertise required for the production of carefully balanced and utterly delicious blended red and white wines, alongside some exceptional single variety bottles. Many of the chateaux found in Bordeaux have become household names, due to their prestige and the excellence of their products, grown with love and dedication by heritage wineries in this beautiful and special region.
France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
The appellation of Margaux in Bordeaux's Médoc is historically one of the world's most important and highly respected wine regions. Margaux has been producing wines of the most extraordinary quality for centuries, and has a history of prestige and fame brought about by the supreme flavors and aromas carried within its deep, beautiful and elegant blended red wines. The wineries of Margaux benefit enormously from the hot sunshine the region receives, as well as the mineral rich gravelly soils the Gironde river deposits. This all allows the wine-makers to grow red Bordeaux grapes of the highest quality, which express all of the best features of their precious terroir, and result in wonderful wines of real distinction, superb flavor and a wide bouquet of complex, elegant aromas.

The Hugoton Gathering System ("HGS")
Owned and operated by Western Gas Partners, LP, the 1,953-mile Hugoton gathering system provides gathering service to the Hugoton field and is primarily located in Seward, Stevens, Grant and Morton Counties of Southwest Kansas and Texas County in Oklahoma. Three levels of gathering service is being provided, vacuum, 100 – 200 psi, and 250+ psi.
The Hugoton gathering system is connected to the Satanta plant, 51% owned by Pioneer Natural Resources Corporation (Operator) and 49% Anadarko, which extracts NGLs, LNG, helium, and delivers residue gas into Kansas Gas Services and Southern Star pipeline. The system is also connected to DCP Midstream's National Helium plant, which extracts NGLs and helium and delivers residue gas into the Panhandle Eastern pipeline.
Anadarko is the largest customer on the Hugoton gathering system with approximately 85% of the system throughput during the year ended December 31, 2012.
The Hugoton Residue Delivery System ("HRDS")
Owned and operated by Anadarko, the Hugoton Residue Delivery System ("HRDS") was established in October 1999 by isolating several segments of existing pipelines in wet gas gathering service of the Cimarron River System and the former Panhandle Eastern gathering system. These segments were coupled together with 3 miles of new 10" pipe that was installed along the Morton and Stevens County line. This allowed for the delivery of dry residue gas from the Mid-Continent Market Center (now Santana Processing Plant) and the redelivering of residue gas for regional sales, compression fuel and irrigations sales of 10 – 15 MMcf/d based on heating load and fuel requirements. Anadarko Natural Gas Company owns all gas through the system and owns the HRDS pipeline.

HK Sevens party gets kitted up for Olympic status
PUBLISHED: 25 Mar 2013 00:09:10 | UPDATED: 25 Mar 2013 09:47:05PUBLISHED: 25 Mar 2013 PRINT EDITION: 25 Mar 2013Eales
John Eales
What do animal cloning and rugby Sevens have in common? It's not a vet pharmacologist, it's that they both originated in Scotland: cloning through Dolly the sheep; and Sevens in Melrose in 1883.
One hypothesis suggests that Sevens is a derivation of XVs rugby, born to keep players fit in the summer months when stomachs were inflated and the balls deflated.
But there's more than one flaw to that rationale as, when Sevens was invented, rugby players weren't fit even in the winter months of the year.
Having just spent a weekend at the world's most famous Sevens tournament, and knowing rugby folk as I do, I suspect it was more realistically created as a "valid" excuse for rugby men to tour en masse warm and exotic locations.
Ergo Hong Kong.
Hong Kong, "Sevens style", is a bit like an anti-health farm, where alcohol, food and no rest trumps – and that's without even analysing the ingredients in one of the Hong Kong Stadium's meat pies.
If Homer Simpson constructed his ultimate sporting armchair it would be in the South Stand of the Hong Kong stadium, where the beers are cold and plentiful, the costumes elaborate and the action regular and, until finals time at least, reasonably trivial.
Everyone on one side of the fence is fit, healthy and entertaining and everyone on the other side is comfortably numb.
I was asked over the weekend if I had played at the Hong Kong Sevens. Everyone plays at the Hong Kong Sevens.
Some things don't change; however, some things do. The women still serve the beers in Hong Kong but now they also drink them. And they not only watch the entertainment, they now provide it as well, out on the field. Who said rugby wasn't enlightened?
Women's rugby has come a long way in a short time. One of my early initiations to women's rugby was a glimpse through a curtainless window between the Wallabies change room and that of the Canterbury women's team, after their victory and before ours. Let's just say that the haka wasn't the most intimidating thing I encountered that day.
In those days women's rugby was a proclivity of a hardy few and it counted only the odd begrudging husband and boyfriend in its crowd. It boasted less funding than it did spectators and next to no profile.
Times have changed and rightly so, particularly since its inclusion in the Olympic program. Now women's rugby has become a harbinger for equality, innovation and even funding.
The Australian women's team is a beacon in Australian rugby, winning the last Sevens World Cup and enjoying the largesse resulting from theirs being a newly inducted Olympic sport.
But this new-found attention has delivered greater competition. China, the US and even the Dutch have introduced professional programs in the lead-up to the Olympics, but our own women are doing very well – despite losing 29-0 in the final to Canada on Friday night. The same performance in Rio in 2016 would be silver-lined.
Sevens rugby is so different from XVs and not just in numbers. Of course there is less structure and fewer stoppages. But probably the greatest difference is in the treatment of the advantage line.
The advantage line in XVs rugby is a bit like the tropic of Cancer or Capricorn only more important. Neither of the lines is physically obvious but if you spend a game of XVs on the wrong side of the advantage line you will be drinking gin not champagne at the end of the match.
In the abbreviated game, however, the advantage line is important but not everything.
Teams will naturally tease it and eventually you have to get over it to score a try, but it doesn't bear the same obsession as it does in XVs.
Despite its inherent differences, Sevens has also become a breeding ground for XVs talent with the likes of Waratah No. 10 Bernard Foley graduating from one to the other.
In the women's game, recruitment has taken a more innovative focus by means of an advertised talent search, through which the likes of track star Ellia Green and Victorian touch footballer Natasha Haines, have found their way into Australian colours.
A similar recruitment program could eventually support the men's game, where we have traditionally struggled for consistency and are ranked 11th in the world order.
Unfortunately, after such a fun weekend, the realisation dawns that it is impossible to clone the Hong Kong Sevens in Australia.
But there is a mooted summer Sevens series and the Gold Coast Sevens is scheduled in October.
And there is certainly room for the game to find its way into the hearts and minds of Australians and for our teams to become genuine contenders for Olympic gold.

If it's not the full monty, it has to be a special occasion… and anytime Flosstradamus announces a new single is a special occasion. And it looks like, since linking with Ultra, the Chitown duo is on a roll, with "Drop Top," their forthcoming single with Ultra / Fool's Gold, will be their biggest yet. And that's just from a 45 second clip. Shoot us. It sounds like it'll be one of those jams that, later this month, any trap DJ worth their weight in 808s will be playing on unsuspecting festival crowds. Proper spring time anthem status. Trust.

My CJR article is no attempt to "discredit" Philip Gourevitch, nor is it a profile. There is scarcely more biographical detail here than you might find in one of his author's bios, nor do I make but the briefest passing reference to his years of research and reporting on many subjects beyond Rwanda.
Rather, it is an exploration of the debate over how Paul Kagame and his Rwanda are represented in the Western press, a debate approached through the frame of one Rwanda's best known chroniclers. It is precisely an article, "about the changing media perception of Paul Kagame how attitudes toward Kagame have changed over the years".
I told Gourevitch it was not a profile but that he figured prominently in the piece. It was a discourtesy not to make explicit how focused on him the story was to be, and for that I have already apologized in private. For the rest, there is no apology to be made.
That the piece focuses on Gourevitch's work is a function of his position as the most high-profile journalistic voice on the subject in New York, where both this magazine and his main outlet, The New Yorker, are published. He may not like the public position, centrality to the Rwanda debate, or scrutiny of his work that his success brings, but it is his to bear.
Of course, journalists were not taking "dictation" from Gourevitch. Rather his writing captured an image of Kagame that existed at the time. He didn't create or invent it; he just described it better than most, and in a magazine that carries more influence than most, and in a book (We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families) that sold more copies than most.
The Rwanda narrative with Kagame at its heart captured by Gourevitch (and others) was powerful and so it held sway. But as that story has been assaulted by more recent events and revelations, this shift has not been reflected in his reported work.
I would point readers who want to draw their own conclusions to two of Gourevitch's New Yorker articles that bookend his Rwanda reporting thus far: "After The Genocide" (1995) and "The Life After" (2009). The latter is analyzed in some detail in my article and clearly illustrates my argument that Gourevitch's narrative does not reflect recent events and revelations.
Contrary to Gourevitch's claims, "The Vanishing" (1997) contains plenty of kind words about Laurent Kabila, including the description of Congolese liberation hero Patrice Lumumba as his "mentor."
I know that Gourevitch has not written about Meles Zenawi (a basic search on the New Yorker website reveals this), but what I wrote is that, at the time, he fell for the then-popular concept of the "New African leadership" which included Zenawi.
Gourevitch's complaint that my piece wasn't sufficiently fact-checked is nothing more than rhetoric and wishful thinking. Nor is this article a lone voice, rather, it makes explicit what many discuss in private, surely one of the aims of worthwhile journalism.
I spoke to leading Africanist professors such as David Anderson at Oxford and Rene Lemarchand at Florida to explore the intriguing distance between media and academic views of Kagame and his regime. For the same reason, I interviewed human-rights advocates and experts on Congo.
Although Chris McGreal of The Guardian was one of the only journalists whose quotes made the final edit, I interviewed others who had reported the Congo massacres at the time. The difference is that in Gourevitch's writing, there is something akin to an acceptance of these atrocities because of the weight of the earlier ones committed during the genocide.
Howard French was another interviewee and I would not presume to defend his position myself. He was not an "overseer" of any kind. My connection to CJR is simply as a commissioned writer and my connection to French was interviewer to interviewee.
I included his comments about the Holocaust because it was interesting that Lemarchand had made the same point.
The article is largely based on what Gourevitch has written about Rwanda. What was striking was how much more measured he was in talking when I asked him to respond to his critics, as reported at length in the article.
Clearly Gourevitch takes a critical assessment of his work very personally. But the thesis of the article is that there are varied views of Kagame, that they are shifting, that we as journalists should try to represent those changes as they occur, that none of this is monolithic, that there is a debate to be had.
This article and Gourevitch's response, are a contribution to that wider, and I believe valuable, discussion.

Panel ponders changes to sick leave for Gary firefighters
Post-Tribune staff report February 27, 2014 4:26PM
Updated: April 1, 2014 10:21AM
GARY — Change is coming for firefighters as the city proposes a new sick leave policy separate from benefits for on-duty injury.
Firefighters now have 90 days of sick time per illness or injury — but that's 90 eight-hour days, and because they work 24-hour shifts, actual time off is 30 shifts.
The Gary Fire Civil Service Commission met in special session Thursday morning with two members of the City Council and Corporation Counsel Niquelle Allen to discuss a two-page proposal sought by the city.
After almost three hours of talk, which included comments from several of the dozen firefighters who attended, one thing everyone could agree on was that several more conversations would be needed.
The next one is 10:30 a.m. March 6.
The city wants firefighters to have 96 hours of paid sick leave per year, accrued at eight hours per month for those who work eight-hour days. For the 24-hours-on, 48-hours-off workers, 10.83 hours would accrue monthly, a total of 130 hours a year.
Every firefighter would receive a one-time allotment of 360 hours in their "bank," when the new system begins, the city proposal states.
"We don't want to limit your protection, but we got to put in a system that is equitable and fair and economically sustainable," Commissioner Dwight Gardner said.
Gary Firefighters Local 359 President Jansen Rollins reminded the board that existing sick leave policy is a city ordinance, and the commission rule follows that.
"We never negotiated anything," he said.
Rollins, several firefighters and commissioners agreed that baseline physicals are essential. Allen said the city would explore options for medical providers to conduct the physicals and when an independent doctor is needed to evaluate a firefighter's condition.
A provision allowing firefighters to share their sick days with co-workers who need them should be included, Rollins told the board. Gardner countered that the practice has been "one of the most abused," because at the end of the year, records appear muddled.
"If you allow it to be abused, that's the city's problem," Commissioner Juana McLaurin said.
Council member Mildred Shannon, D-1st, said she supports the fire department and hopes a reasonable solution can be reached.
"We have to come to a good working process. We're all going to have to give up some things, but will get some things," she said.

We're considering a modular extension on our ranch home for my mom who has some disabilities. We have stick plan which takes into consideration her special needs like handicapped bathroom, extra wide doorways etc. The extention planned would be wonderful-nice quality and look great when attached to the current home-you would'nt know it was an extension. Question-can stick plan be converted to modular? Are there any cost savings from doing modular over stick? How far can you go with customization before you might as well do it the old fashioned way? Can seperate heating systems be set up in these units? Suggestions on who to contact for this project? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
i have a friend that joined a single wide home to a double wide home at the kitchen/dinette area with a breezeway..both were set up side by side one in front of the other..and a hole was cut in each and a breezeway built between the two. the homes ended up being 6 bedroom, 4 bath, huge kitchen, dinette, family room, living room, 2 laundry areas. it was like a mansion..and it was wonderful. some areas would not allow this to be done. |
It can be done, and should be able to be customized to your needs. I have seen many modular home additions done before. |

I'd like to change the front shocks on my 02 Mazda 2300 truck. Will I need any special tools? Namely a torque wrench? |
Follow-Up Postings:
A torque wrench is not really needed by most people for that level of a repair. Years ago when I was first learning to be a tech I remember being told, "Tights right, too tights broke". It takes some time to really learn the feel of a fastener. But essentially there is always a point where you feel it stop turning tighter and then it goes into "stretch" mode. Any properlly tightened bolt has stretched a specific amount, that's what keeps it from coming loose. If you seriously are not sure how much a particular fastener should be tightened, then of course a torque wrench would be adviseable. In practice, most people find they tend to overtighten bolts, but get away with it because of how strong todays materials are. |

|"The Heat" filmmaker Chris Eversoletalks about Hurricane Sandy's role in making the film, watching Heather interact with her daughter and her spirit of perseverance.
What is the most rewarding aspect of being an independent filmmaker?
Seeing a project come to fruition after many months of development and then seeing that project means a lot to the subject.
Which filmmakers inspired you to get behind the lens?
James Longley, Derek Cianfrance, Spielberg.
Could you list three films that all independent film supporters should take the time to see?
"Iraq in Fragments" by James Longley. This film breaks the mold of documentary filmmaking not only in its narrative execution but in the immense depth with which Longley reveals his subjects. "Blue Valentine" by Derek Cianfrance. This fiction film feels more real than a documentary and uncovers the layers of a relationship that most people would rather avoid. It's an incredibly honest film. "The Hurt Locker" by Kathryn Bigelow. A modern war story that dives into the addiction of war and its distant effects on family back home.
What do you hope the audience comes away with after seeing your film?
I hope the audience comes away inspired and feeling like they were told a good story. Heather is a great example of what can be done when you decide not to give up on yourself even if others have given up on you.
What would this film have looked like if Hurricane Sandy had not impacted New York City as greatly as it did?
This film probably would not have happened if Hurricane Sandy didn't have the impact that it did. When a tragedy strikes, stories of hope and renewal often sprout up through the rubble like defiant flowers. That said, Heather's personal story would remain unchanged. She would still be the fighter she was and is regardless of any obstacles that fell on her path.
Did you find yourself emotionally engaged with Heather and her determination to overcome the adversities you documented in the film?
My emotional engagement with Heather was paramount in the making of this film. It's what compelled me to hop on a plane from Kansas City to NYC to document her struggle. The depth of her strength reminded me of my mother and I thought that kind of strength should be shared with others.
Which scenes were the most rewarding to film?
I really enjoyed filming Heather train with Devon. She gives every second of training all the effort she can muster and her facial expressions resonated with that fatigue. It's hard not to feel rewarded when you see someone put in all that effort and it pays off for them.

There's nothing like success to make enemies. Here we have what may be the most successful Police Department in the world, under one of the best commissioners it's ever seen, and what are several top candidates for mayor doing? Tripping over themselves in the race to hamstring the department for alleged violations of civil rights that really are no such thing.
The worst at the moment — only because she wields actual power — is City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, until recently the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. Quinn is insisting on bringing to the floor a bill to create an inspector general to oversee the NYPD, meanwhile warning Commissioner Ray Kelly that if she were mayor and he didn't reduce the incidence of stop, question and frisk, she'd fire him. We can't see a self-respecting man like Kelly even taking the job after such a threat.
As for the bill itself, Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. of Astoria wisely tried to keep it from getting out of his Public Safety Committee, but Quinn's using her power to move it forward.
That's a mistake. Stop, question and frisk deters criminals from carrying weapons. Minorities are stopped more often mostly because more of them live in high-crime areas. The city saw a record low 418 homicides last year. Those are the facts. Deal.
