A few flowers left on Friday
It's sad to realize that there won't be blooms in August, well maybe Stella only, or maybe Final Touch will last at least till the beginning of August. And last year I had some blooms in.. October! Oh well..
Here is what's blooming today
Beautiful Edgings
Cat Dancer
Guilded Appeal - one bud left ready to open tomorrow maybe
LFO on Shores of Time - I am not sure why the discoloration like water damage, and on other flowers too
Super Mama :) And yesterday was 6 blooms! It's not quite so purple as in the picture
:) This is George Jets on, not recognizable, but it's the bud George built. There is another one but so tiny I don't know if it has a chance
Last red noid
and my late noid (midrib)
Today the Olympics start! I like to watch what I can, though I was not happy with the last Olympic coverage (beach volleyball for hours! and just seconds for some other sports). Will anybody watch? :)
I am not going to watch as it is not important to me. Have too much else to do anyway to spend hours on TV. I know what you mean about the daylily blooms flyung by. Same thing us happening here.
But I do love all the blooms you have today. Beautiful Edgings would be my favorite.

Mother wants justice for daughter killed in DUI crash
No other information about the prior incident was available.
Bail was set at $2.5 million for Martinez, but he is being held without bail to face immigration charges. A preliminary hearing to determine whether there is enough evidence to warrant a trial is set for Jan. 5.
Deputy District Attorney Cally Bright, who prosecutes South Bay felony drunken driving cases, said about three in every 10 or 11 of the drunken-driving manslaughter cases she handles are prosecuted as murders.
"Any time we look at murder charges, we look at the driving history, and the driving that day, and the level of offense that day," Bright said in a recent interview.
Paul Levikow, spokesman for the District Attorney's Office, said filing a murder charge in a drunken driving case is not common, but generally is done in the case of a repeat offender who "has been through the system and should know better."
Martinez faces a sentence of 15 years to life in prison if convicted of all charges.
Tapia-Miranda said her daughter didn't know Martinez, but got into the car with the other passengers to go to an acquaintance's family barbecue.
She said she and her children had recently moved from Orange County, and Eileen had joined the California Conservation Corps. Her other children are ages 3, 9 and 10.
"(Eileen) was excited to meet new friends," said Tapia-Miranda, a nurse practitioner. "She was taking continuing education classes and wanted to work for the environment."

Electric Problem? 2003 Dodge Dakota
2003 Dodge Dakota 6cyl 3.9 liter
seems to occur after rain--lights won't work, brake lights work, but not tail lights. Head lights do not work, although once before, the lights stayed on and would not shut off.
Sometimes electric door lock keeps locking and unlocking by itself.
On dash indicator lights such as check oil, ABS etc all stay lit while running..
After it's started the miles indicator first shows the mileage, then it begins flashing and then shows the words no buS or no bu5.
Checked all fuses under the hood and in door jam and they are ok. Followed all the wiring the best I could see there isn't a bare spot or break or "pulled away" look. This happens occasionally after a rain. This last time, normal state has not returned with dry weather as it did before.
Any ideas for a fix?
No answer, because any answer will be guesses in circles. Sounds like a flood car. Your lights and cluster and door locks relays are shutting on and off for a fact, this i know, but the source issue is in the main harness connections and looks like a rewire job. You may get lucky and find heavy gauge connecors at the starter area are corroded.
Until proven otherwise, approach each failure as if they are occurring on different cars. The biggest mistake people make when attempting diagnostics is assuming things are related, they can be, but certainly don't have to be. So pick one, and troubleshoot it, then move onto another. If you happen to solve more than one with a particular repair, simply smile and move on.
The headlights, tail-lights. They share a common power input to the headlight switch on most vehicles, but not all. Start with a schematic and check to see how the power distribution feeds power to the switch assembly. Question, do you have high beams when you pull the dimmer handle for "flash to pass"?
No Bus. That means the serial data bust has shut down on the car. Unfortunately, that will be a failure that is likely beyond your ability to diagnose. You need the Chrysler DRBIII scan tool and its strength as the factory tool, plus a digital storage oscilloscope to diagnose that problem efficiently.
The locks locking/unlocking by themselves could be a result of the failing data bus, or simply a bad door switch, with the previous being more likely at the moment. When the BCM sees serial data report that the vehicle is moving it locks the doors. Once it sees that the vehicle has been stopped and shifted to park, it unlocks the doors. The loss of serial data could cause this to occur incorrectly.
The fact that it occurs after its been raining could indeed be a clue. We often find modules damaged by water intrusion on many different vehicles. Sometimes things like a windshield seal are to blame. One vehicle I can think of off hand has a TSB where the technician has to install a set of shields to protect a new computer from rainwater when its replaced. (Not a Chrysler vehicle that comes to mind, this is just a reference)
You really do need a pro to sort this out. One that understands electronics, and has the correct equipment to communicate with your cars computers.

Breast implants pro bono?
Unlike attorneys that offer pro bono work for which they are sometimes eventually compensated for with a "Win Verdict" in the courtroom most surgeons rarely offer this type of service for Cosmetic Surgery. Aesthetic or Cosmetic surgery is an elective procedure and often considered a luxury. Patients may save for many years to have such procedures.
The vast majority of surgeons are required to take Emergency Room call at hospitals where they work. They are required to care for an often large indigent population for which they receive little to no compensation. These surgeons services are disallowed as a tax deduction by the IRS so, they are basically a form of a gift.
But, do not give up hope. There are some practioners (http://www.wsvn.com/news/articles/local/21008165879620/surgeon-offers-ohio-woman-breast-implants/ ) and health care institutions that offer Cosmetic Surgery at somewhat reduced rates. In most cases they surgery is performed by a plastic surgeon in training supervised by a very experienced member of the ASPS/ ASAPS. Consider looking in your area for one of these programs ( http://acaplasticsurgeons.org/residency-resources/ ). Best,
Gary R Culbertson, MD, FACS

Immigrant women constitute a varied and dynamic population in the United States with 51 percent or 21.2 million of the country's total foreign-born population. Examining key gender-based socioeconomic indicators from origin and fertility to educational attainment and immigration status, this Spotlight raises implications for sending and receiving countries, with respect to labor opportunities, family structure, gender roles, and more.
Read Article
Attention is now squarely focused on the U.S. federal courts where the legal battle over President Obama's executive actions on immigration continues. While congressional efforts to roll back the directives appear to have been put aside, at least temporarily, implementation of the signature deferred action programs announced in November 2014 remains blocked. The administration, however, is moving forward with other aspects of the executive order, as this article explores.
Faced with rising numbers of foreign entries (long- and short-term), China in 2012 adopted new legislation to manage its migration flows—the first reform to the country's immigration law since 1985. With an underlying tension in the legal framework between restricting immigrants deemed unwanted and welcoming those viewed as desirable, this feature examines the exit-entry law's key points.
An estimated 41.3 million immigrants lived in the United States in 2013, about 13 percent of the total U.S. population, constituting the world's largest foreign-born population. This Spotlight from MPI's Jie Zong and Jeanne Batalova offers the most current and sought-after data on immigrants in the United States—including origin, educational attainment, the unauthorized, deportations, and more—in one easy-to-use resource.
Migration has begun to follow the flow of capital after years of Chinese investment in major infrastructure projects in Zambia. This feature article, based on original research including the coding of 25,000 Zambian entry permits, examines the emerging migration pattern from China to Zambia, as Chinese migration to the country has increased 60 percent since 2009.
President Obama's sweeping executive action to shield as many as 3.7 million unauthorized immigrants who are parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents from deportation is facing tough legal and political challenges. This month's Policy Beat examines the efforts to proceed with implementation of DAPA and the expansion of DACA despite a lawsuit brought by a coalition of 26 states and staunch opposition in the Republican-controlled Congress.
Use this data tool—referred to as "one addictive interactive map"—to examine immigrant populations by country of origin and destination. Find out how many Americans live in Mexico, how many Ukrainians in Russia, or Filipinos in Saudi Arabia, for example.
Whether as migrant-sending or migrant-receiving locations—or both—many countries have rich, complex international and internal migration histories. MPI's online journal, the Migration Information Source, offers profiles of more than 70 nations. Written by leading scholars, these profiles delve into countries' migration histories, demographics, policymaking, and more.
The global recession has caused countries that once welcomed foreign workers by the tens and hundreds of thousands — particularly Spain — to rethink generous immigration policies as unemployment rates have risen.
South Africa, Brazil, and Costa Rica—all destinations for migrants from the region—sought to make the lives of immigrants a little better in 2009.
Over the past year, long-standing discussions and negotiations have resulted in several new information-sharing initiatives that seek to boost security while facilitating travel for legitimate travelers.
Swiss voters strongly approved a popular initiative to ban the construction of minarets in Switzerland. Julie Schindall reports on reaction to the vote and explains how the Swiss system makes such lawmaking possible.
In the absence of congressional action on any broad immigration reform, the election of President Barack Obama was expected to lead to changes in U.S. immigration policy at the executive level.

"I Believe" is a song recorded by American country music singer George Strait. It was written by Strait, his son Bubba, and Dean Dillon. It was released on July 15, 2013, as the second single from his album Love Is Everything.
Strait and his band were finished recording the album when Norma, George's wife, made everyone unpack and cut the Newtown, Connecticut-inspired single[1][2] "At its core, 'I Believe' is about faith — a subject this singer has approached with underrated deftness"[1] and "puts his faith on display as never before"[3] "Strait was hesitant to include the song, as he didn't want to misrepresent the families of the victims or be accused of somehow profiting from their tears... his sincerity triumphs on this beautifully crafted tribute to the victims."[1][2]
Critical reception[edit]
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country rated "I Believe" 4.5 out of 5 stars and calls it "arguably the best of the 13" and shouldn't keep him from earning a Song of the Year consideration.[1]
Leeann Ward of Country Universe gave the song an A. She states, "Strait's voice is as solid as ever" and that "he perfectly emotes the sincerity and compassion that a song of this magnitude requires." She finishes by saying "I Believe" is "just a tribute from a humble man conveying a simple sentiment of real heartbreak, buoyed by faith and hope."[4]
Chart performance[edit]
"I Believe" debuted and peaked at number 50 on the U.S. Billboard Country Airplay chart for the week of August 3, 2013,[5] making it the first single of Strait's career to miss the Top 40.

Any ever replaced their oven's glass-ceramic cooktop?
I haven't called my appliance center yet, but I'm thinking about doing this depending on the price.
My SO scratched one of the burners badly enough that it can't be filled/wiped away. I'm so raving upset....
Just wondering if anyone's done this and how it went and if the cost was worth it.
My oven is a GE Profile oven/convection with glass ceramic top.
When I was looking to replace the glass on my Frigidaire cooktop the glass alone was $260. I never did do it. As to whether it's worth it, I guess that depends on how visible it is (without hood lights on, when you're not using it?) If it's not going to bother anyone but you I'd live with it and be almost relieved you got the first blemish out of the way and don't have to obsess so much over keeping it pristine. ;)
By the way, how did you do it? I'm convinced my new range is far more sensitive than my old cooktop. My mom's GE shows zero signs of use from (I'm guessing) about 5 years of daily use, my old Frigidaire was good until I broke a corner off, but my new Bosch seems to get a new permanent blemish every time I use it. I'm so over it, and it's only 2.5 months old.
You Tube has a lot of basic hints on changing the Ceran cooking surface and changing actual burners too. If yours is more modern, it might require a special screwdriver or two as well. Poke around and see if something like yours is shown being worked on.
This might be worth trying first

foodonastump, it happened because my boyfriend shook a cast iron skillet on it. He used to be a professional chef so you can imagine how incredulous I was that he did this. It was no 'accident'!!
I've had this cooktop for 7 years without even a hint of a scratch. I've been super careful with it and it has seemed very durable. So this episode was really the pits to see.\ :-(
Laat2, I will look at the video but I'm not very good with DIY stuff of this sort.
I think a new top would cost nearly $1000 so I'm leaning toward not doing it.
Someone mentioned using a kind of motor oil which can reduce the visibility of scratches, I may look into that first.
I don't think it will be anywhere near $1000, but call. They should be able to quote over the phone.
I watched one of the videos Laat2 posted, and a suggested video under it shows how to get rid of scratches using metal polish. Can't hurt to try.
Shaking cast iron (Griswold and Lodge) didn't affect by old cooktop but superficially. I wouldn't try it on my new range.

What did you end up doing? My "big" burner in my Kitchenaide 36" cooktop went out and when the guy pulled it out to replace the element.... he cracked the whole thing in two pieces, with a shrug and a "it must have had a crack'. There was NO crack, I clean it all the time, so I get good and close to it. Likewise, the repair is $615 for new top, labor and the originally needed element. A whole new cooktop is 1300ish. Not sure what to do. I actually took out a gas cooktop to put it in, bc I had young children and one with a disability and felt it was safer under those circumstances, but I love mine. Stays so clean, not forever lifting heavy burners to clean all the crud out under them. I for sure am staying smooth top, but not sure whether to buy a new unit or repair.

Second Thought Squash
When my beet crop got demolished by the squirrels I ended up with an empty garden bed. I hemmed and hawed about what to put in there since it was already too warm to plant another seed crop and instead I just plopped a couple spaghetti squash plants in the ground and figured they probably wouldn't do much or even really make it since it was late.
Turns out, they actually really liked that spot and made it their home. Now I have tons of baby spaghetti squashes forming and I'm really glad I had that second thought.
Also, this vine will take over my entire garden and I'm totally cool with that.
Everything is taking off pretty well this month in the garden. I have a couple tomato plants that aren't 'making' it but I'm still keeping them around in case they end up doing something. We harvested our first 'big' tomato this week and that was pretty exciting.
Avery ate it like an apple after he played Veggie Tales with it for a while.
I'm cool with that. Avery is very active in the garden….which means he has eaten 90% of the cherry tomatoes we've harvested. Or rather, he picks them off the plant and I get the left overs….
I'm getting cucumbers and jalapenos now too. My cucumbers have suffered from bacterial wilt and I've lost at least two vines to it completely and another is about to go. I cherish each and every cucumber I get.
My greens are doing great in this weather and I'm getting plenty of herbs and kale.
I love kale. Shane isn't a big fan but I can't get enough.
Our dinners and my lunches have included kale in some form or other.
Herbed chicken, yellow rice and kale salad with tomatoes and cucumbers.
No kale here but some home grown cabbage from my parents, beets and black beans.
Kale, golden beets, cabbage and homemade vinaigrette.
An amazing filet Shane grilled for me with a cucumber, tomato and basil salad and a side of freshly grown baby potatoes from the farmers market. Fantastic Sunday lunch.
I'm excited to use more of my harvests in our meals this summer and really looking forward to more of my tomatoes coming in! I have some yellow heirloom tomatoes ripening at the moment and am slightly giddy about them. I hope your gardens are going well too!

Apartments are not good to live there. Management is too bad. Manager of apartment, He never reply on issue. Without proper notice management block your parking and ask towing company to lock your car. If you send email to him asking to show notice where it state that then he will never reply and towing company with taking money he will not open lock from your car. It is worst experience in this apartment. Also for any breakage if you call then person will come after too many days and they show you face like they are favoring you instead of they are doing their job.

Alright people u gotta realize this! When u go apartment searching u gotta look at where the apartments at! See we do not have animal infestations at Crest wood because we clean after our selves! If u do what u got to do around here then it's pretty well put but if u attract animals with garbage left outside your door they're gonna come because basically you are sending an invitation to your apartment. Another thing is if u don't give them time to fix anything then they can not fix it at the expectation u want them too ok. if it is the biggest problem in the world then leave because I'm pretty sure u cant find one complex that never in it's existence has had a problem! So people stop being drama queens and drama kings about little things around in life because you'll find animals everywhere because you are one, daaaaa! So I'm not gonna let you people diss my home! And by the way it matter also how u treat the workers here because if u call and start screaming all u gonna do is get people mad and basically ignore u. All I'm saying think about this truly and if you truly did throw the garbage in the right place and kept your apartment clean and still got animal infestation then it's just u!

Beautiful place, but all the wrong people and the wrong Management. You'll find a few good families but the majority of the people are ghetto. Do not rent a place here. Overpriced apartments with horrible service and a bad environment. Oh and that parking spot they promised you I've been living here for a year and still have not received it. The last two reviews were accurate.

So a week ago, I flew to Barcelona to spend some time with BZ again. We actually spent my first four days over in Andorra, which is a 3-hour drive from Barcelona, but made our way back down two days ago, and have two more days together before I fly back home to Bergen. Being just a few hours' flight away from each other, and on the same timezone, has made everything much easier for us.
I have absolutely no idea where I'll eventually settle down. You see yesterday, I had an interview with one of the best design studios here in Barcelona, all thanks to one of BZ's colleagues. An opportunity to gain my very first taste in the design industry seemed very promising. I let them know though, that I will have another interview in London(!) on Monday, something which popped up a few days after I knew about the interview here in Barcelona. I was completely over the moon!
All of a sudden, life's taking on a whole new direction once again and all I can do is to cherish every new moment I'm about to experience. These are big moments of change for me, yet again, and I know better now that life can take on a sudden course. Life is really full of surprises! Luckily for me, they've been good ones lately.

It depends on the definition of "native" I guess:
- if it means "first humans to inhabitate a certain territory", then they are.
- if it means "first humans to be born in a territory", then almost no human but a small fraction of Africans is native to anywhere.
I am never ceased to be amazed at seeing Scientists make "amazing discoveries" of what should be COMMON SENSE principals.
"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen." Albert Einstein.
Yes but you can always quote "some" scientists old theory of 1 wave from decades ago and claim your research is new to get more media attention and funding.
No you can't. Every scientific paper and grant application, in every subject, includes a literature review section in which you cover the state of current relevant research, and to get the publication or the grant you have to demonstrate how your findings are different from what's currently known.
What you can do, if you're a layman sniping at science from a distance, is mention some garbled memory of something you read once that's kinda sorta related to the subject at hand, and dismiss current research as "old news." Bonus points if you throw in something about how scientists are only in it for the money, fame, and groupies.
What term do you propose? Not all Eskimos outside Canada are Inuit, and this very item underlines the need for a term grouping Inuit and Yupik peoples, on genetic and linguistic grounds.
How can you work when the system's so crowded?

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Fault Lines on the city's homelessness crisis
02 Oct 2012 06:07 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, France, Libya
Syria's foreign minister Walid al-Moualem has accused the United States and its allies of supporting terrorism in his country but said his government remains open to a political settlement of its civil war.
Moualem told the UN General Assembly on Monday that his country has been facing "organised terrorism" for over a year, a reference to the countries that are backing the armed opposition in its fight against the government."In what context can we classify the explicit request of the United States from the armed terrorist groups not to surrender their arms as a response to amnesty decrees and decisions issued by the Syrian leadership?" Moualem asked.
Live Box 20117693233259422
"We also wonder to what extent the statements of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United States, and France that clearly induce and support terrorism in Syria with money, weapons and foreign fighters, are in line with the international responsibilities of these countries in combating terrorism." The US and France have called for regime change in Syria while Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey are widely believed to be arming rebels fighting President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
Qatar's emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani told the assembly last week that Arab countries should intervene in Syria out of "national, humanitarian, political and military duties" in the face of the UN Security Council's failure to act.
Fighting in the country has left up to 30,000 people dead, according to estimates by activists.
'Blatant interference'Moualem said terrorism had affected "citizens, our human and scientific resources, national establishments, and also much of Syria's historic and archeological landmarks".
"The latest example of this terrorist bombing took place recently in Damascus on September 26. A terrorist group with the name 'Jabhat AI-Nosrah', one of the al-Qaeda arms, took the responsibility for this attack," he added.
Saleh Mubarak, of the opposition Syrian National Council in Turkey, said the minister used terrorism because it is a "sensitive" term in the West.
Al Jazeera's Andrew Simmons on Syrians who have been displaced by the violence
"He used al-Qaeda, he used Jihad in [such] a way to scare the West; to tell them 'it's either us or the terrorists will come.' And, of course, we know the real terrorists is nobody but the Syrian government," Mubarak told Al Jazeera.
Moualem said that peace requires action not only by Syria but by Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Libya and others to stop arming and financing the opposition.
He also said that calls for Assad to step down were "blatant interference" in Syrian domestic affairs.
Moualem called for political solution and Syrian-led dialogue to agree on roadmap to a more democratic country and invited the opposition to "work together to stop the shedding of Syrian blood".
"We still believe in a political solution as an essential way out of the crisis," he said.
For this to happen, he said, UN members should press for an end to the "arming, financing, harboring and training of terrorist groups".
Washington and many of its allies accuse Syria's government of mass human rights abuses in the ongoing struggle to put down the armed rebellion.
Al Jazeera's Kristen Saloomy, reporting from New York, said one Security Council diplomat described the speech as "orthodox, predictable and completely out of touch with reality".
"This diplomat went on to question how the Syrian government could blame others for the refugee crisis engulfing his country when, in fact, it is the Syrian military that's arbitrarily shelling and bombing civilian areas. But, of course, the reaction to the speech depends on who you speak with," said our correspondent.
Suburbs targeted
Moualem's speech came as government forces shelled the eastern suburbs of Damascus and clashed with armed rebels there, activists and residents said.
Residents reported hearing heavy gunfire from about 6:00am local time (03:00 GMT). They said the capital was shaken by several loud blasts, possibly artillery fire, two hours later.
"Every one of them feels like an earthquake," a resident in the central district of Adawi told the Reuters news agency, in a telephone call punctuated by two loud explosions.
Live Box 2011421105226899357
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based anti-government rights group, said that government forces were targeting rural areas around the Zamalka and Ain Terma suburbs on the eastern fringes of Damascus, a rebel stronghold in recent months.
It said Monday's army offensive came after Assad's forces suffered heavy losses in the area on Sunday, when several military checkpoints came under attack.
The group also reported an attack in Salqin, a town in Idlib province near the northern border with Turkey, which reportedly killed at least 12 people, including several children.
Footage posted online by activists showed several mutilated bodies in a pickup truck, as a man shouts that his son was killed.
Al Jazeera is unable to independently verify reports of violence, as the Syrian government has placed strict restrictions on reporting.

Robert Pattinson has lost the lead role of Steven Soderberghs' remake of 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E' to Bradley Cooper.
"It's not going to happen for Rob," a source at Warner Brothers told Hollywood Life. "Steven is interested in working with someone he has worked with before, or someone who is not famous yet, an unknown."
"Cooper currently has an offer to play Napoleon Solo, and the opportunity to work with Soderbergh is one that Cooper is likely to accept, considering how hard his team at CAA worked to position him for the coveted part," according to a report by Variety.
The film is set in London in the 1960s and centers around Napoleon Solo, an American and Russian spy that worked with U.N.C.L.E. (United Network Command for Law and Enforcement) to battle the organization T.H.R.U.S.H (Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity).
George Clooney was originally slated to star in the movie but dropped out last summer. Matt Damon and Johnny Depp have also passed on the role.

We joke around a lot and most of the time it ends up having something to do with us going out. Sometimes I think he likes me back but others I feel like all he wants is to be friends and he's just joking around.
I'm so confused! What should I do?
HIS ANSWER: "Try to spend a little more time with him, maybe even just the two of you, so you can get a better idea of his feelings. If that doesn't work, you can talk to his friends about it to see if they know, or maybe even ask him yourself. A confident girl who isn't afraid to say what she's feeling is rarely a bad thing."
DECODED: If you can't tell from how he acts when it's just the two of you, you may have to ask. Don't be shy!
YOUR MOVE: Invite him over to play some Wii. Just be casual about it and see if sparks fly. If that goes well, tell him you had a good time and would love to hang out again. If he agrees, go to the movies or do something else a little less buddy-buddy.

SirHinkel's GSM Campaign 1.0 >AS1< Support ended!Feb 24, 2014 Singleplayer Map 190 comments
This Campaign uses GSM X as source of all models and stuff so it won't run without it and pleae make sure that you have the latest game version. Please...
This Mod contains 22 mostly new maps and missions with a huge number of different units and a high attention on map details, textures and design.
I spend over 1.500 hours in the editor to create all these. So please feel free to leave any kind of feedback or comments but please take your time too and don't just say e.g. "It's boring" "It's good" "It's F***" I need real feedback with details and proposals with things you like and don't like.
- Dowload the mod (SirHinkel's Testmissions)
- Unzip the file with 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org/download.html)
- Copy the folder (SirHinkel's Missions) to ...steam/steamapps/common/men of war assault squad/mods
- Copy the "game_progress.set" file which is located in the "SirHinkel's Missions" folder to ...documents/my games/men of war - assault squad/profiles/your_profil/ and replace the existing "game_progress.set" file and don't forget to make a backup of it!
- Start the game and go to "options / mods" select "SirHinkel's Missions" and press activate
- You're done!
Don't forget to put the game_progress.set file to: ...documents/my games/men of war - assault squad/profiles/your_profil/
otherwise you have to play all maps one after another!
And Don't forget to make a backup of your game_progress.set file!
These missions are made for singleplayer. They're Coop-ready but it may be necesseary to reduce the texturequality during coop-games!
If you like to invite me to a beer feel free to make a small donation here:
Best regards and have fun, Hinkel
This Campaign uses GSM X as source of all models and stuff so it won't run without it and pleae make sure that you have the latest game version. Please...
This Mod contains the same maps (only the German maps by now) but with a different lineup for the AI and the player. Every Mission has different units...
I am sorry for the fast update but there were two major bugs in the last version. Changelog: Fixed: Sky on Alamo // Added: "Beachhead" and "Airstrip"(US...
My AS1 (GSM) and all my AS2 Missions resupply Infantry near certain crates / vehicles but not from dead soldiers. And I never heard of a Mod which does that. But I haven't played AS1 for a while.
For AS1, yes
Check the script, its easier than writing it down ;)
Hi, me again :D
Absolutely loving these missions, it's not often you find this much focus on Germany
I am having a problem however with the Ardennes mission (1944)
Here's a screenshot, I was wondering if you've seen this before or if it's just an installation error
in the mission it's all messed up too, random capture points, no information, can't get infantry inside my Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251, etc
Ardennes got into the mission pack by accident and wasn't ready when I released the other missions. Sorry for that.
Please don't post AS2 stuff here.
I guess you have enabled a other mod. Most Mods can't be combined with others.
Have you got German Soldiers mod installed?
And have you tried verifying cache from steam and reinstalling GSM?
Any tips on how to deal with the Russians?
I get pretty far but once they bring out those T-34's and KV-1's they just blast my AT weapons to pieces!
First/Opening mission of Barbarossa 1941
In GSM the best way to deal with heavy enemy tanks is the "Brandflasche" the German version of the Molotowcocktail.
Thanks, I got through it but it was the lack of decent guns that made it difficult, the later German guns just blew through them :D
