The legionary comes to life!,
By Aaron Thompson (Bristol) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Roman Legionary: 58 BC - AD 69 (Warrior 71) (Paperback)
This book is quite a surprise. It's a bit more 'academic' than your usual Osprey offering but it's very approachable and squeezes in a mass of information about the legions from Julius Caesar to the emperor Vespasian. The text takes the reader from the establishment of the Imperial legions and organisation, through recruitment (mostly conscripts according to Cowan) and training, equipment (here I learn that the gladius was not a short sword!), and ultimatley on to the best section concerning the legionaries in battle. Quotes from ancient sources give a 'soldier's eye view' of battle from the exchange of missiles, to the charge and collision with the enemy, the rout and taking of booty and and adorning victory monuments with the heads of the enemy.
Excepting a few typos this is a fantastic read. The colour plates illuminate the text superbly (especially the plate concerning the Varian disaster; Cowan informs us that all the legionary eagles taken in AD 9 were later recaptured). Essential for anyone wanting to learn more about the legionary.

This review is from: Roman Legionary: 58 BC - AD 69 (Warrior 71) (Paperback)
As other reviewers have mentioned, this is a good and up to date summary of the Roman legionary up to AD 69 and the accession of Vespasian.The book's structure is the standard one. First you have a short but interesting background piece on the establishment of the imperial legions by Augustus, with a nice table borrowed from Keppie (the Making of the Roman Army, 1984) that traces the supposed origins of each of the legions. This is followed by the now usual pieces on organization, size and command, enlistment, training, length of service, pay, leadership and morale, belief and belonging, sacramentum, decorations and punishments, dress and equipment, daily life on campaign and battle.
The contents are much more focused on the legionary's morale and sense of belonging than what you could find in Osprey publications some 15 years ago with three sections (leadership and morale, belief and belonging, sacramentum, decorations and punishments) making up some 10 pages altogether. This reflects Keegan's influence and a shift of emphasis on the rank and file's point of view and psychology rather than the traditional focus on the general or the army's organisation. It is, of course, perfectly apt for a little volume of the Warrior Series dealing with the "Roman Legionary", not the Roman Legion. The section on equipment is also good with a nice description of the evolutions of swords (the several types of so-called "gladius"), helmets and armour in particular. The emphasis put on the huge burden that the legionary had to carry around. It is not for nothing that the legionaries were called "Marius' Mules" after he reformed the army and cut down on baggage. As this book shows very well, this was still the case under the Julio-Claudians and continued well after them. The section on battle also emphasizes the "human side" of combat, including the war cry to give yourself courage and demoralize the enemy and the importance that experience in battle could have when one side was mainly made up of veterans but not the other. Nice touch was to mention lulls during battle, because there are probably few activities as taxing as hand-to-hand fighting and such fighting probably could not last more than 15-20 minutes before both sides got exhausted. Another realistic element, which you also find in other Osprey publications on the Romans, is the mention of plundering and booty, which Roman legionaries indulged in just like any other warrior during Antiquity, the Middle Ages or well after. Finally, there are the superb plates from Angus McBride. Several are quite gorgeous, such as the legionary press gangs and the "warm welcome" which they receive from the population, or the conturbernium (a mess tent of 8) on the march, suitably overburdened with all their equipment and followed by a couple of servants with pack mules. My favourite of all, however, is that of centurion Marcus Caelius' last stand during the battle of the Teutoburg Forest. The grim determination that you can see on his face as he assaults the Cherusci warriors that are stabbing one of his men tells it all... There are however two glitches that prevent this volume from being excellent. This is a pity because both glitches could have been easily avoided. One relates to the period covered by this volume. While there are in the text quite a few mentions and quotes from Caesar, there is almost nothing about his campaigns, presumably because they are covered in other Osprey volumes. However, none of the plates show legionaries in the time of Caesar. The book itself starts after the victory of Octavius over Marc-Antony and Cleopatra, as the victor reorganizes the army and demobilizes more than half of the Civil War legions. Somehow, there is a bit of a disconnection between these contents, which mainly focus on the period after 31 BC, and this volume's title which is supposed to start in 58 BC. The second glitch has already been mentioned by a couple of other reviewers on Amazon.com. I was, just like them, very much surprised to find the author picking up Isaac's somewhat contentious view, first mentioned in 1994, that the century, not the cohort, was the main tactical unit of the Roman legion. This is explicitly contradicted by both Caesar and Tacitus, to mention just these two. While the second was perhaps a bit of an armchair general (although even this is unfair because he did see some active service), Julius Caesar was certainly not. He could be somewhat expected to know what he was talking about and does not seem to have had any point to make when emphasizing the legion's cohorts rather than their centuries as the main tactical unit. At a minimum, this somewhat controversial statement would have warranted a much more thorough discussion that simply mentioning that "the cohort could not function as a tactical unit because it had no commander or obvious standard of its own." In other terms, this was too much or too little, especially since this rather controversial view flies in the face of the mainstream view and the written sources. Because of this, it is worth four stars, but not five...

An excellent introduction to the subject,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Roman Legionary: 58 BC - AD 69 (Warrior 71) (Paperback)
This is a very good introductory volume, covering the period form Julius Caesar to the end of the 'Augustan' dynasty. It looks in more detail than usual for an Osprey at all aspects of the subject, as you can see from the contents –
P04: Introduction P05: Chronology P07: The establishment of the Imperial Legions; Organization, Size and Command of the Legion .The legion; Centuries and centurions; Senior officers; The century as the primary tactical unit. P09: Enlistment P11: Training P12: Length of Service P13: Pay; Leadership and Morale P16: Belief and Belonging .Unit identity; Group identity P19: Sacramentum, Decorations and Punishments .The military oath; Rewards and decorations; Punishments; Bravado and initiative. P23: Dress and Appearance P25: Equipment .Pilum; Shield; Sword; Dagger; Armour; Helmet; The burden of equipment. [P33-40: Colour Plates] P44: Daily Life on Campaign .Building camp; Meals and entertainment; Camp followers; Striking camp P46: Battle .Formations and depth of lines; Non-continuous battle lines; Centurions, standard-bearers and optiones in battle; Centurions and standard-bearers; Optiones; The importance of experience in battle; The war cry; The charge and collision; Lulls during battle; After the battle. P58: Websites; Glossary P59: Bibliography P60: Colour Plate Commentary P64: Index The section on 'The century as the primary tactical unit' and 'Formations and depth of lines' are particularly interesting, and are more informative on the subject than the two Osprey volumes on Roman Battle Tactics. He quotes French and German authors in his bibliography, which may be why he has more to say in a small space then most writers on the subject in entire books: "The cohort is traditionally viewed as the primary tactical unit of the legion. This is certainly the impression given by Caesar and Tacitus, who tell of formations and tactics based around the cohort. However, it has been suggested that the cohort could not function as a tactical unit because it had no commander or obvious standard of its own, leaving the century as the primary tactical unit (Isaac 1994). The centurion, therefore, was the crucial professional officer in the legion; there was no permanent commander of a sub-unit of the legion greater in size than the century between him and the legate, whose tenure of command might be limited to only three years or so. The centuries were the primary tactical units of the legion, which was itself a mass administrative unit. When Caesar and Tacitus speak of cohorts moving in battle we should view them as groupings of centuries fighting in support of each other." The author is also very clear in 'Formations and depth of lines' and 'Non-continuous battle lines' as to how the troops deployed and fought, and what the light infantry were up to after they had withdrawn from skirmishing, again unlike many other writers on the subject with entire volumes to play with. The colour plates are not as exciting as the other volumes on the Roman Army that I have read recently, though this is an older book, and Osprey may have taken note of readers' feedback. However, they do the job of illustrating the legionary at work and, err, work. A: Veteran of legio XII Antiqua, 32-31 BC. This shows a legionary standing there displaying his equipment; shield and pila leaning against the wall, helmet upended to show the inside, accompanied by sketches of various bits. B: Legionary press-gang in Ostia, port of Rome, AD 6-9. This shows an unarmoured but armed group of soldiers at work in the back alleys. C: Contubernium on the march, post-AD 14. This shows the eight-strong mess-group of legionaries marching with their equipment and servants. D: legionary fighting techniques. Four figures in various combat poses – though in is noted that these are disputed. E: Marching camp, 1st century AD. Camp under construction. F: Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, Germany, autumn AD 9. Three main legionary figures in the foreground, two behind, fighting Germans, with more shadowy detail in the background G: Prior century in battle, 1st century AD. This shows the right side of the century as deployed for battle against Germanic-looking opponents, showing the poses and positioning of various members of the unit. H: Legionary of II Augusta, Britain AD 43. This shows a legionary standing and displaying his equipment, holding his shield and pilum, accompanied by sketches of various bits.

This review is from: Roman Legionary: 58 BC - AD 69 (Warrior 71) (Paperback)
Another great little title from Osprey packed full of details and wonderful images. This book starts at the beginning before the legions became professional to when Octavian (Augustus) formed them into full time soldiers and formed permanent armies. The Osprey books are great but short and quite expensive for what you get length wise, especially compared to a novel for example but your paying for the content, research, art, historical accuracy etc etc. Shop around and you will find good deals.
Highly recommended if you are merely interested in the topic or want specific details about the subject for research or something more, fantastic little books!

I ordered corrupt, bitten and cupcake. Before ordering I was worried that cupcake would not work on my nc44 skin but I decided to take a risk anyways. Well it turned out to be beautiful and it exceeded my expectations. It came off as a nice wash of soft neutral pink on my lid. It can be easily warn alone on a day when you don't want to understated. If you want to warm it up I'm sure you could use coco bear in the crease. I tried it with mac brown script and it blended in beautifull. I also cupcake with bitten in the crease and it worked for a night out kind of look... very mysterious and almost vampy. Overal I think I'll get great use out of it. I haven't tried corrupt yet but with one swatch on my fingers it looks really pigmented. When I laid it out beside some of my other mac dark browns/dark grey shadows, It looked almost like a super dark blue black instead of just a straight black... interesting. I will buy more of these shadows because the price is amazing and the quality seems just as good as nice as mac in terms of texture and pigmentation.

These ES are amazing for its price, I had already placed a second order for colours that I would use. Buttery smooth and easy to blend, in my opinion, these are as good as Mac one. Would love to see Marlena expand the range of shadow.
I had mine in a Z palette and it held up so well. Its only downside is that it took nearly a month to reach me for international delivery.

Amazing shadows!!! I like these better than all my high end shadows, including UD, Laura Mercier, even Nars (although I would say the quality is similar to Nars). As others mentioned, texture is buttery without being TOO soft so that it blends out with a swipe of your brush. The formula really adheres to your eyes, and it's just soft enough that blending shades together is a breeze. I think the price point is right, considering many drugstore eyeshadow singles are similar in price, and these are much better quality. My only complaint would be the packaging, I don't like that I have to purchase a separate palette to store my eyeshadows, especially because I'm not a fan of the z-palettes. Also, I do wish the website had more shipping incentives (i.e. free shipping for $50+) or something similar, but still will continue purchasing regardless!
So in love with these eyeshadows! They are blendable due to their extreme creamy-ness, simply amazing! I have purchased about 30 shadows and I am in love with each and every one of them. The best color pay off and I love that all except 2 of their eyeshadows do not contain Talc or Parabens. Also, I did not see ANY containing Mineral Oil (Big plus) either :) And for the price? Geez. U have to try these out.
P.S. They have awesome customer service!!!

I'm reviewing for the shade Prom Night. I love lavender/ purple shades of eyeshadows but they often look kind of clownish on me against my red hair. After I read on the Makeup Geek website that this was a purple-taupe color I knew I just had to try it. I got my order very quickly. This is a truly beautiful color. It is like a like a perfect lavender taupe color on me and looks really good with my blue- grey eyes. The pigmentation with a primer is good and I would classify it as medium. It has a deep shimmer almost burnished finish which is so pretty. The feel of this shadow is silky and it blends very nicely. I was feeling adventurous today and added a little green shadow mixed with this and it looks great!! Five hours later and no creasing but I did use a primer too. I can't wait to try some of her other colors!!

I've used Cocoa Bear, Creme Brulee, Peach Smoothie, Mango Tango, Mocha, and Nearly Naked so far. These shadows are phenomenal. They blend seamlessly, have great lasting power, and they are extremely pigmented. A little goes a long way. I love, love, love these shadows, and I'm definitely buying more. Creme Brulee and Cocoa Bear are HG's for me. If they were to be discontinued, I'd spend an entire paycheck stocking up on them.

Honestly, if I could give this a rating of zero I would. I can't say that the eye shadows are bad because I never even received my order. I ordered twenty eye shadows, a z-palette, and a foundation brush and five days after I made my order I received an email telling me that they had not been shipped out yet and would be held until I "advised" them because one single eye shadow was out of stock. Really? I have never dealt with any company that would hold an order for one out of stock product when the other twenty-one items in the order were ready to go.
Now, I could of got over this but, after I reply to them wondering why I am getting this email 5 days after I made my order, I was expecting to receive my order between 5 and 7 days, I receive an email from them that was unapologetic, and quite frankly unprofessional and it was filled with spelling errors. I'm sorry but, if I am giving a company $88 of my money, I expect an email that is more than two sentences long and filled with typos.
After explaining my frustrations with them and telling them I would like a refund, I receive another email that is blaming everyone but them for the fact that my order was held (the factory, the fact that they are a small company and even me essentially for not paying extra for priority or express shipping) and to advise them if I still want to try their products or not.
Even though I already asked them in my two previous emails to refund my money I tell them yet again to do so and receive another two sentence email saying simply this:
We will issue the refund. Please note that if you paid with a credit card, refunds take up to 4 days to show on your statement."
No apology, they never offered to give me free shipping to make up for the delay, no nothing. The most absolutely unprofessional company I have ever dealt with, small business or not, maybe you should take care of your customers first.
My advice is to not even waste your time or money on people who care so little about their customers.
These eyeshadows are probably the best I've ever tried for the price. They are up there with UD and illamasqua in terms of quality. I came across this by chance. I was googling for a true rose gold and a real deep emerald green. And honestly, I was becoming frustrated that I couldn't find anything I liked. Anything "rose gold" was either champaign or just gold. And anything "emerald" looked like grass.
Then along came Makeup Geek. I started browsing the store and fell in love with Cosmopolitan and Envy. But because I'm in Australia, I thought I'd buy a whole bunch to put into my Mac Pro single palette (which I also recently purchased and magnetised with a magnetic sheet as a base). I ended up buying cosmopolitan, envy, burlesque, peach smoothie, mocha and creme brûlée. Also got my first pigment in insomniac which I also totally and completely fell in love with.
Quality and pigmentation is amazing! I always disliked mac eyeshadows because of quality and price. I loved the colours but I always found that they are not pigmented enough. MUG is another story. I have tried them with different bases and regardless of the base, I haven't had any creasing problems, the colours stay true on the skin and they don't budge.
I haven't had a chance to play with all the colours just yet. But so far I absolutely love burlesque and of course, cosmopolitan.
My only problem? Depotting. Of all of these that I ordered, 2 came as compacts. For Cosmopolitan I ordered one as a pan and one as a compact, just to throw into the handbag. But I was also forced to buy burlesque as a compact because they were out of pans. The site said easy to depot. Funnily enough, there is no guide for depotting MUG shadows!! Marlena has done tutorials for depotting MAC but nothing for MUG. The casing is completely different to a MAC so I wasn't keen on putting it over a flame as I did with my MACs. Nor did I want to try putting it onto my hair straightener as some have suggested.
The best way? I put mine on the heater for about 10 minutes and stuck a pin underneath the pan until it slowly lifted. It didn't depot straight away but with more heat, the looser the pan became.
AND IT WORKED! Not sure if the glue was just weak on that particular shadow, but it was a success.

So far I have only tried 2 eyeshadows. One matte (peacock) and one shimmery/glittery (Envy). They don't bother my eyes in the least, which most drugstore/low-end priced shadows do. They aren't at all powdery/chalky. Of the two, I definitely prefer Envy just because I prefer the color. Envy is a dark green with teal/blue shimmers. It's absolutely stunning. (very unique) It's perfect for Christmas time because of the color and glitter effect. Peacock, on the other hand, is a nice color but does not apply evenly for me. It's splotchy, no matter what method I try. I definitely hope to try more colors in the future.

I am going to Jamaica in a few weeks and I cannot find any details about a brewery tour...anyone got any information about this? Thanks!
no info on the tour, but be prepared to drink only red stripe while there. It is their beer and they are DAMN proud of it!
"Retail is for suckers."
just go there, i'm sure they'll give you a tour, if not, well... just drink some red stripe.
Yeah thats my plan as of now, just wanted to see if anyone knew of a link that had the tour information, like hours, ect. So they only serve red stripe in jamaica? guess it could be worse
LOTS of Guinness...Jamaicans love it. Drink it for the strength, mon! There's always Dragon Stout too. Makes you breathe fiyah, mon.
Red Stripe, Kingston (another local beer), and Guinness is about all you may be able to find.
Not a huge fan of Red Stripe, but while you're in Jamaica, get some Guinness Foreign Extra - one of the best beers i've ever had. Tried some in St. Thomas a while back - unbelievable. Apparently it is only available in the Caribbean, Africa and Asia. Sorry to threadjack, but it's THAT good.
Why do you want to watch TV and listen to the stereo at the same time? Because I like to party.
Where is the brewery? Because I wouldn't travel to Kingston. I traded my old, muddy, post-Dunn's River Falls sneakers to some Jamaican in the parking lot for a sixer of Red Stripe. He needed the shoes, I needed the ice cold beers for the bus ride back to Negril!
Love Jamaica mon!! Spent a week and a half for my honeymoon.. It was a blast.. Red Stripe is definately not my favorite beer, but it does alright in a pinch. Think Budwieser!!

Clean Environment: What It Means To Everyone
from:A clean environment is a healthy place to live and a healthy planet to leave to your descendents. As you go through time and look at the changes of on the environment, no other period in time has been so affecting the environment as the current one. There are many people, agencies and organizations working to improve the environment and keep it clean for future generations. Yet, with all of that, there is still a lot of need. In order for there to be a clean environment, many people have to come together to handle the problems holding back such a location.
To promote a clean environment, consider the methods that make a significant difference on the well-being of the entire planet.
Work to reduce through simplification: Simplify as much as you can in your life. Keep those things that you need, or use regularly rather than purchasing more of what you don't need and won't use. When you do this, you help to reduce the amount of waste that is left for the future, which means improvements to the planet for future generations.
Replace some products in your homes that are made from trees: Creating a tree free home, as it is often called, is one of the best ways to keep those trees in the ground, producing oxygen. You can do this in a number of ways such as using cloth napkins, not using paper towels, choose 80 percent or higher post consumer waste content for toilet paper, reuse paper that is blank on one side and choose bamboo or other quickly renewing woods for your home.
Reduce the amount of trash you produce as a way to clean environment. You can buy products with the least amount of packing, refuse promotional items and simply recycle as much as possible. There are many ways to improve the quality of the environment like this.
Reduce the amount of junk mail you get, which will in effect reduce the amount of paper that ends up in a landfill. Use reusable shopping backs, even fabric ones, instead of plastic bags which are much more difficult to break down. Donate all of the items in your home you no longer have a use for, even those that may not be working correctly, so others can benefit from them and they avoid the landfill.
As you can see, a clean environment can happen without a lot of work on the part of each person. To get a clean environment, though, everyone must work together to achieve the same goal.

Description The interested reader is referred, for assistance in understanding the inventions here described, to the following prior disclosures which are relevant to the description which follows and each of which is hereby incorporated by reference into this description as fully as if here repeated in full:
The development of the EDVAC computer system of 1948 is often cited as the beginning of the computer era. Since that time, computer systems have evolved into extremely sophisticated devices, and computer systems may be found in many different settings. Computer systems typically include a combination of hardware (e.g., semiconductors, circuit boards, etc.) and software (e.g., computer programs). As advances in semiconductor processing and computer architecture push the performance of the computer hardware higher, more sophisticated computer software has evolved to take advantage of the higher performance of the hardware, resulting in computer systems today that are much more powerful than those that existed just a few years ago. Other changes in technology have also profoundly affected how we use computers. For example, the widespread proliferation of computers prompted the development of computer networks that allow computers to communicate with each other. With the introduction of the personal computer (PC), computing became accessible to large numbers of people. Networks for personal computers were developed to allow individual users to communicate with each other. In this manner, a large number of people within a company could communicate simultaneously over a network with a software application running on a single computer system. One significant computer network that has recently become very popular is the Internet. The Internet grew out of the modern proliferation of computers and networks, and has evolved into a sophisticated worldwide network of computer systems linked together by web pages that collectively make up the �world-wide web�, or WWW. A user at an individual PC (i.e., workstation) that wishes to access the WWW typically does so using a software application known as a web browser. A web browser makes a connection via the WWW to other computers known as web servers, and receives information from the web servers that is displayed on he user's workstation. Information displayed to the user is typically organized into pages that are constructed using a specialized language called Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). Web browsers that use HTML are now available for almost every computer system on the market, making the WWW accessible to practically anyone who has access to a computer and a modem. Although the WWW is becoming increasingly popular, the rapid growth and expansion of computer users accessing the WWW has brought along with it concomitant problems. Some of these problems are identified in this discussion. Two outgrowths of the world wide web are server farms and DASD (for Direct Access Storage Device, discussed hereinafter) farms. In each instance, the use of the term �farm� is intended to communicate that a number of devices are operatively coupled together in such a way that data may flow more or less seamlessly between and/or among a group of cooperating devices. Thus a plurality of server computer systems cooperate to divide the data handling demands of a network, or a plurality of storage devices cooperate to provide the data storage demands of one or more server computer systems. While the technology to perform these divisions of function is available or under development, problems can arise in such environments which are addressed and overcome by the invention here described. The description which follows presupposes knowledge of network data communications and switches and routers as used in such communications networks. In particular, the description presupposes familiarity with the OSI model of network architecture which divides network operation into layers. A typical architecture based upon the OSI model extends from Layer 1 (also sometime identified as �L1�) being the physical pathway or media through which signals are passed upwards through Layers 2, 3, 4 and so forth to Layer 7, the last mentioned being the layer of applications programming running on a computer system linked to the network. In this document, mention of L1, L2 and so forth is intended to refer to the corresponding layer of a network architecture. The disclosure also presupposes a fundamental understanding of bit strings known as packets and frames in such network communication. It is a purpose of the present invention to enhance the ability of computer systems and networks as briefly described above to perform pattern recognition data processing. In pursuing this purpose, this invention makes use of the capability of a network processor (as described more fully hereinafter) to perform software directed tree searches. Pattern recognition data processing, as expanded upon in the description which follows, opens possibilities for data mining, virus protection, security and other functions. As realized in accordance with the varying embodiments of this invention, significant performance improvements are obtained and highly scaleable systems are created which are capable of examining large amounts of data, both in real time and in batch modes. Some of the purposes of the invention having been stated, others will appear as the description proceeds, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which: While the present invention will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown, it is to be understood at the outset of the description which follows that persons of skill in the appropriate arts may modify the invention here described while still achieving the favorable results of the invention. Accordingly, the description which follows is to be understood as being a broad, teaching disclosure directed to persons of skill in the appropriate arts, and not as limiting upon the present invention. Referring to CPU 110 can be constructed from one or more microprocessors and/or integrated circuits. CPU 110 executes program instructions stored in main memory 120. Main memory 120 stores programs and data that the computer may access. When computer system 100 starts up, CPU 110 initially executes the operating system 134 program instructions. Operating system 134 is a sophisticated program that manages the resources of the computer system 100. Some of these resources are the CPU 110, main memory 120, mass storage interface 140, network interface 150, and system bus 160. In the form illustrated, the main memory 120 includes a web server application 122, a transaction processor 124, one or more macro files 126, a configuration file 128, one or more language processors 130, an operating system 134, one or more application programs 136, and program data 138. Such application programs 136 are executed by CPU 110 under the control of operating system 134. Application programs 136 can be run with program data 138 as input. Application programs 136 can also output their results as program data 138 in main memory. When the computer system 100 operates as a web server, CPU 110 executes, among other things, a web server application 122. Transaction processor 124 is a program that processes an HTML page stored in one or more macro files 126. When transaction processor 124 is initialized, it reads configuration file 128 to correlate different types of queries to different language processors 130. When a query to dynamic data is found in a page, transaction processor 124 determines from the configuration data (read from the configuration file) which language processor 130 it should call to process the query. The appropriate language processor 130 then queries a data source, such as memory or a database, to retrieve the dynamic data. Language processor 130 passes the dynamic data to transaction processor 124, which inserts the dynamic data into the HTML data for the selected page. Mass storage interface 140 allows computer system 100 to retrieve and store data from auxiliary storage devices such as magnetic disks (hard disks, diskettes) and optical disks (CD-ROM). These mass storage devices are commonly known as Direct Access Storage Devices (DASD), and act as a permanent store of information. One suitable type of DASD is a floppy disk drive 180 that reads data from and writes data to a floppy diskette 186. The information from the DASD can be in many forms. Common forms are application programs and program data. Data retrieved through mass storage interface 140 is often placed in main memory 120 where CPU 110 can process it. While main memory 120 and DASD device 180 are typically separate storage devices, computer system 100 uses well known virtual addressing mechanisms that allow the programs of computer system 100 to behave as if they only have access to a large, single storage entity, instead of access to multiple, smaller storage entities (e.g., main memory 120 and DASD device 180). Therefore, while certain elements are shown to reside in main memory 120, those skilled in the art will recognize that these are not necessarily all completely contained in main memory 120 at the same time. It should be noted that the term �memory� is used herein to generically refer to the entire virtual memory of computer system 100. Network interface 150 allows computer system 100 to send and receive data to and from any network the computer system with which it may be connected. This network may be a local area network (LAN), a wide network (WAN), or more specifically the Internet 170. Suitable methods of connecting to the Internet include known analog and/or digital techniques, as well as networking mechanisms that are developed in the future. Many different network protocols can be used to implement a network. These protocols are specialized computer programs that allow computers to communicate across a network. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), used to communicate across the Internet, is an example of a suitable network protocol. System bus 160 allows data to be transferred among the various components of computer system 100. Although the computer system 100 is shown to contain only a single main CPU and a single system bus, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention may be practiced using a computer system that has multiple CPUs and/or multiple buses. At this point, it is important to note that while the present invention has been (and will continue to be) described in the context of a fully functional computer system, those skilled in the art will appreciate that constituents of the present invention are capable of being distributed as a program product in a variety of forms, and that the present invention applies equally regardless of the particular type of signal bearing media used to actually carry out the distribution. Examples of signal bearing media include: recordable type media such as floppy disks (e.g., 186 of In the present invention a computer system 100 may be operated as a web server. To do so, a web server application 122 is executed by CPU 110. Another application program 136 may be run simultaneously on computer system 100 assuming that operating system 134 is a multi-tasking operating system. Web servers are generally connected to the Internet 170. As has been discussed, the Internet is a well known computer network that spans the world and is shared by millions of computers. There are many web servers on the Internet. Each computer linked to the Internet has its own unique address to enable it to communicate across the network with other computers. Many different types of data can be sent along the Internet. Examples are electronic mail, program data, digitized voice data, computer graphics, and web pages. As is well known, certain of these examples may become vehicles for invasive computer virus code and/or be undesirable for other reasons. Thus at least some networks connected to the Internet are separated from that network by protective mechanisms generally known as a firewall. In accordance with certain embodiments contemplated by this invention, the computer system 100 has coupled thereto through an option bus an option card 200 ( The card 200 is formed using a printed circuit board or card 201 on which is formed an edge connector portion 202. The edge connector facilitates mounting the card within a computer system and establishing signal passing communication between the card and the option bus of the computer system. The card 200, in the form illustrated, has an external connector 204 through which the card may be connected to a network external of the computer system (such as a LAN, WAN, or the Internet) and with which data is to be exchanged. Mounted on the card are a network processor 10 and a supporting control point processor 206. Referring now to Data bit streams moving to the server farm of Movement of data bit streams to the appropriate one of the farm systems is accomplished, in accordance with this invention, at what is known as media speed. That is, the flow rate of data moving to the one farm system is the same or substantially the same as the flow rate in the network to which the network processor connects the server farm. Further, the movement of data bit streams from the network processor is to the appropriate one of the systems in the farm. Where the systems in the farm are serving a shared purpose, such as being web page hosts operating in parallel, the distribution may, for example, be for load balancing among the farm systems. Where the systems serve distinct designated purposes, the distribution will be for those designated purposes so that data streams related to mail are, for example, directed to a mail server while those for real time retrieval from a stored data base are directed to a server configured for that purpose. In accordance with yet another implementation of this invention illustrated in The architecture used for apparatus disclosed hereinafter is based on an interface device or network processor hardware subsystem and a software library running on a control point processor. The interface device or network processor subsystem can be understood as being a high performance frame forwarding engine designed for parsing and translation of L2, L3, and L4+ data strings. The interface device or network processor subsystem can provide a fast-path through an apparatus while the software library and control point processor provide management and route discovery functions needed to maintain the fast-path. The control point processor and the software library running thereon together define the Control Point (CP) of the system. The control point processor may be embedded within the network processor or physically separated therefrom and, in at least certain embodiments, may be a function of an associated CPU. Industry consultants have defined a network processor as a programmable communications integrated circuit capable of performing one or more of the following functions:
Although this definition is an accurate description of the basic features of early NPs, the full potential capabilities and benefits of NPs are yet to be realized. Network processors can increase the effective system bandwidth and solve latency problems in a broad range of applications by allowing networking tasks previously handled in software to be executed in hardware. In addition, NPs can provide speed improvements through architectures, such as parallel distributed processing and pipeline processing designs. These capabilities can enable efficient search engines, increase throughput, and provide rapid execution of complex tasks. This definition uses the word �packet�, which is consistent with usage commonly referring to wide area networks (WANs). The inventions here described are equally functional with �frames�, a term consistent with usage commonly referring to local area networks (LANs). Packets and frames transmitted in series or sequence make up data bit streams. Network processors are expected to become a fundamental network building block for networks in the same fashion that CPUs are for PCs. Typical capabilities offered by an NP are real-time processing, security, store and forward, switch fabric, and IP packet handling and learning capabilities. The present invention applies these capabilities to data flow pattern recognition and manipulation. The processor-model NP incorporates multiple general purpose processors and specialized logic. This design provides scalable, flexible solutions that can accommodate change in a timely and cost-effective fashion. A processor-model NP allows distributed processing at lower levels of integration, providing higher throughput, flexibility and control. Programmability can enable easy migration to new protocols and technologies, without requiring new ASIC designs. While such a network processor supports multi-layer forwarding in hardware it can also operate as a L2 only switch and that is its default mode of operation in the simplest form disclosed in related applications. Each port will be put into a single domain allowing any device in the domain to communicate with any other device in the domain. The apparatus is configurable at L2 allowing system administrators the ability to configure features such as; grouping ports into separate domains or trunks, configuring Virtual LAN (VLAN) segments, or imposing filters. It is the last named capability which, among others, is utilized by this invention. Certain portions of the apparatus described hereinafter are designed to be a modular unit using an interface device or network processor (NP) and a Control Point (CP) as its fundamental building blocks. An optional switching fabric device can be used when more than two interface device subsystems are tied together. The optional switching fabric device may be as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,008,878 issued 16 Apr. 1991 for High Speed Modular Switching Apparatus for Circuit and Packet Switched Traffic mentioned hereinabove and incorporated herein by reference. This apparatus may consist of a single assembly of an NP, a CP and a media interconnection mechanism. However, a more complex apparatus is anticipated to be assembled using printed circuit board elements also here mentioned as �option cards�. The printed circuit board elements have circuit elements mounted thereon and are received in connectors provided in apparatus housings, such as in server computer system housings. The apparatus contemplates that cards can be exchanged among varying chassis or housings, provided that appropriate connectors and backplane electrical connections are provided in each. A basic component found on many if not all such option cards is a carrier subsystem. Starting with the carrier subsystem, three types of cards can be produced. The first type is a CP only card, which consists of a carrier subsystem and a CP subsystem. The primary use of a CP only card is for a product where redundancy is the primary concern. The second type is a CP+Media card, which consists of a carrier subsystem, a CP subsystem, and 1-to-3 media subsystems. The primary use of a CP+Media card is a product where port density is deemed more important than redundancy. The third type is a Media card, which consists of a carrier subsystem and 1-to-4 media subsystems. The media cards can be used in any chassis and the type of media subsystem used is configurable. Card management will involve fault detection, power management, new device detection, initialization, and configuration. This management will be done using various registers, I/O signals, and a guided cell interface that is used to communicate between the CP and carrier subsystems. Programmable devices and memory exist on all cards. The amount of programmability depends on the type of card. When the CP subsystem exists on a card the CP, carrier subsystems and media subsystems are programmable. In its simplest form, an interface apparatus contemplated by this invention has a control point processor and an interface device operatively connected to the control point processor. Preferably and as here disclosed, the interface device (also here identified as a network processor or NP) is a unitary Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuit device or chip which has a semiconductor substrate; a plurality of interface processors formed on the substrate; internal instruction memory formed on said substrate and storing instructions accessibly to the interface processors; internal data memory formed on the substrate and storing data passing through the device accessibly to the interface processors; and a plurality of input/output ports. The interface processors are also sometimes herein identified as picoprocessors or processing units. The ports provided include at least one port connecting the internal data memory with external data memory and at least two other ports exchanging data passing through the interface device with an external device or network under the direction of the interface processors. The control point cooperates with the interface device by loading into the instruction memory instructions to be executed by the interface processors in directing the exchange of data between the data exchange input/output ports and the flow of data through the data memory. Those instructions can include the data flow pattern recognition and manipulation capabilities to which the invention here described is particularly directed. The network processor here disclosed is deemed inventive apart from the assemblies into which it is incorporated. Further, the network processor here disclosed is deemed to have within its elements here described other and further inventions not here fully discussed. Still further, the various physical architectures here illustrated and described for their usefulness in this invention are deemed applicable to other inventions not here fully disclosed. For a more complete understanding, The sub-assemblies in the downside include DASL-A 26, DASL-B 28, SIF 30, SDM-DN 32, EDS-DN 34, and PPM-DN 36. The chip also includes a plurality of internal S-RAM's, Traffic Mgt Scheduler 40, and Embedded Processor Complex (EPC) 12. An interface device 38 is coupled by respective DMU Busses to PMM 14 and 36. The interface 38 could be any suitable L1 circuitry, such as ethernet Physical (ENET PHY), ATM Framer, IP over SONET, etc. The type of interface is dictated in part by the network media or other device to which the chip is connected. A plurality of external D-RAM's and S-RAM are available for use by the chip. The arrows show the general flow of data within the interface device. For example, frames received from a MAC are placed in internal Data Store buffers by the EDS-UP. These frames are identified as either normal Data Frames or system control Guided Frames and enqueued to the EPC ( Guided Frames are sent by the dispatcher to the GCH processor as it becomes available. Operations encoded in the Guided Frame are executed, such as register writes, counter reads, MAC configuration changes, and so on. Lookup table alterations, such as adding MAC or IP entries, are passed on to the Lookup Data processor for Control Memory operations, such as memory reads and writes. Some commands, such as MIB counter reads, require a response frame to be built and forwarded to the appropriate port on the appropriate Interface device. In some cases, the Guided Frame is encoded for the Egress side of Interface device. These frames are forwarded to the Egress side of the Interface device being queried, which then executes the encoded operations and builds any appropriate response frame. Data frames are dispatched to the next available protocol processor for performing frame lookups. Frame data are passed to the protocol processor along with results from the Classifier Hardware Assist (CHA) Engine. The results determine the Tree Search algorithm and starting Common Instruction Address (CIA). Tree Search algorithms supported included Fixed Match Trees (fixed size patterns requiring exact match, such as Layer 2 Ethernet MAC tables), Longest prefix Match Trees (variable length patterns requiring variable length matches, such as subnet IP forwarding) and Software Managed Trees (two patterns defining either a range or a bit mask set, such as used for filter rules). The Software Managed Trees represent the particular opportunities to which the invention here described is directed. More particularly, data flow pattern recognition is capable of scanning a flow of electronic mail messages for embedded or attached computer virus code, using virus signatures such as are available in known libraries of such signatures. Such scanning can be at media speed; that is, at the speed at which the data flow moves through a network or computer system. Similarly, data which has been stored in DASD, either an individual drive or a DASD farm, can be reviewed for such virus signatures or for other characteristic bit sequences. For example, a data base of geological data may be searched for a bit sequence which might be indicative of a high potential for the presence of petroleum or other substance of interest. As another example, a data base of magnetometer readings gathered by a treasure hunting oceanographic expedition might similarly be searched for a bit sequence indicative of the presence of ferrous metals such as cannonballs on the ocean floor. Such data mining can be done during what might otherwise be down time for a system, such as during back up runs scheduled for periods of minimal use, or in real time under the control of an application. Pattern recognition forms the basis also of security arrangements such a firewalls, which use such technology to identify bit streams to block or to pass, depending upon the patterns detected and the instruction set given to the picoprocessors. Lookup is performed with the aid of the Tree Search Engine (TSE) Coprocessor, which is a part of each protocol processor. The TSE Coprocessor performs Control memory accesses, freeing the protocol processor to continue execution. Control memory stores all tables, counters, and other data needed by the picocode. Control memory operations are managed by the Control memory Arbiter, which arbitrates memory access among the ten processor complexes. Frame data are accessed through the Data Store Coprocessor. The Data Store Coprocessor contains a primary data buffer (holding up to eight 16 byte segments of frame data), a scratch pad data buffer (also holding up to eight 16-byte segments of frame data) and some control registers for Data Store operations. Once a match is found, Ingress frame alterations may include a VLAN header insertion or overlay. This alteration is not performed by the interface device processor complex, but rather hardware flags are derived and other Ingress Switch Interface hardware performs the alterations. Other frame alterations can be accomplished by the picocode and the Data Store Coprocessor by modifying the frame contents held in the Ingress Data Store. Egress Tree Searches support the same algorithms as supported for Ingress Searches. Lookup is performed with the TSE Coprocessor, freeing the protocol processor to continue execution. All Control memory operations are managed by the Control memory Arbiter, which allocates memory access among the ten processor complexes. Egress frame data are accessed through the Data Store Coprocessor. The Data Store Coprocessor contains a primary data buffer (holding up to eight 16-byte segments of frame data), a scratch pad data buffer (also holding up to eight 16-byte segments of frame data) and some control registers for Data Store operations. The result of a successful lookup contains forwarding information and, in some cases, frame alteration information. Frame alterations can include VLAN header deletion, Time to Live increment (IPX) or decrement (IP), IP Header Checksum recalculation, Ethernet frame CRC overlay or insertion and MAC DA/SA overlay or insertion. IP Header checksums are prepared by the Checksum Coprocessor. Alterations are not performed by the Interface device Processor Complex, but rather hardware flags are created and PMM Egress hardware performs the alterations. Upon completion, the Enqueue Coprocessor is used to help build the necessary formats for enqueuing the frame in the EDS Egress queues and sending them to the Completion Unit. The Completion Unit guarantees frame order from the ten protocol processors to the EDS Egress queues feeding the egress Ethernet MACs. The completed frames are finally sent by PMM Egress hardware to the MACs and out the ports. An internal bus, referred to as the Web, allows access to internal registers, counters and memory. The Web also includes an external interface to control instruction step and interrupt control for debugging and diagnostics. The Tree Search Engine coprocessor provides memory range checking, illegal memory access notification and performs tree search instructions (such as memory read, write or read-add-write) operating in parallel with protocol processor execution. The Dispatcher controls the passing of frames to the ten protocol processors and manages interrupts and timers. The Completion Unit guarantees frame order from the processor complex to target port queues. A rich instruction set includes conditional execution, packing (for input hash keys), conditional branching, signed and unsigned operations, counts of leading zeros and more. The Classifier Hardware Assist engine passes each frame's Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocol header and provides this information with frames as they are dispatched to the protocol processors. The Control memory Arbiter controls processor access to both internal and external memory. Egress frames may be stored in either one External Data Buffer (e.g. DS0) or two External Data Buffers (DS0 and DS1). Each Buffer can be comprised of a pair of 2M�16 bit�4 bank DDR DRAM (storing up to 256K 64-byte frames) or a pair of 4M�16 bit�4 bank DDR DRAM (storing up to 512K 64-byte frames). Choose the single External Data Buffer (e.g. DS0) for 2.28 Mpps or add the second Buffer (e.g. DS1) to support 4.57 Mpps Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching. Adding the second Buffer improves performance, but it does not increase frame capacity. The External Data Buffer interface runs at a 133 MHz clock rate with a 266 MHz data strobe and supports configurable CAS latency and drive strength. Fixed Frame alterations include VLAN tag insertions in the Ingress direction and VLAN tag deletions, Time To Live increment/decrement (IP, IPx), Ethernet CRC overlay/insert and MAC DA/SA overlay/insert in the Egress direction. Port mirroring allows one receive port and one transmit port to be copied to a system designated observation port without using protocol processor resources. Mirrored Interface device ports are configured to add frame and switch control data. A separate data path allows direct frame enqueuing to the Ingress Switch interface. In the drawings and specifications there has been set forth a preferred embodiment of the invention and, although specific terms are used, the description thus given uses terminology in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation.

No prep
victory by death
battlefield - australia
Phoenix 5 take it. Despero and Black Adam cause the most problems but without hax chaos magic to cause them any real problems. Besides each of the P5 get more powerful when one goes down.
P5. Xavier was defeated by Cyke with half of PF power. Emma normally isn't much weaker than Xavier and Martian isn't greater than that. Plus Juggernaut's powers as well as Illyana's hellfire will cause trouble to anyone in team 1. Good fight, thanks to team 1 good psionic powers, but they still lose.

The collective student voice is beginning to resonate louder in the ongoing teachers strike debate, but some local students are going the extra mile to ensure that voice is an informed one.
Glenview Park Secondary School students organized an information meeting in the school's cafeteria Tuesday to help educate their peers about issues surrounding the strike.
Student Ryan Threndyle said a handful of senior students opted to organize a large-scale information session after hearing that pockets of students planned individual protest events. He decided that the first step should by educating students about the labour dispute issues and offering a neutral perspective on how issues affect all stakeholders.
"We really don't want to take any sides or point fingers at anyone," said Threndyle, on the steps of the school prior to the meeting.
It's estimated nearly 400 students participated in the information session, held during the school's mid-day break.
Threndyle said letters were given to students to encourage them to attend the event. Notices included links to non-political websites, including People For Education, an independent charity organization that studies and provides background on educational issues. The website outlines the positions of the Ministry of Education, teachers' unions and local school boards, and explains timelines and legal issues surrounding job action. The site also provides information and links for anyone who wants to contact parties involved in the strike.
The student-run session at Glenview Park was organized to be objective, but students admitted they can't wait for job action to end so they can't resume extra-curricular activities, including sports, music and semi-formal. As of Dec. 10, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation announced that its members were boycotting all volunteer activities, sparking the Waterloo Region District School Board to cancel extra-curricular events and programs.
Students have been left caught in the middle, lamented Threndyle.
"We've done nothing," he said, noting last-year students are hit particularly hard. "It's kind of a big year."
Job action at high schools has been limited to boycotting volunteer time, arriving only 15 minutes before school and leaving immediately after school. It could be another story entirely for elementary schools, as local members of the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario will be in a legal strike position as of Monday.
School districts in the province have been hit by one-day strikes. Waterloo Region District School Board could potentially be notified of job action Friday in advance of a teachers' walk-out Monday. The federation said it will give parents 72 hours of any strike action. The Minister of Education Laurel Broten vows that if strikes last beyond one day she will use Bill 115 to order teachers back to work.
