Money is just a means of exchanging time and skills. If it ever comes to a time where money isn't of value, then it will still be the time and skills that will. Unfortunately, a lot of people have a lot of time, but little skill that will be of value. Rich or poor, I think the best thing a person can do to really prepare is to augment their current skillset with whatever they think will be of value if there is a big economic collapse.
Earth Home Project:www.freewebs.com/stocktonunderground
What does that have to do with the scenerio laid out?
It isn't the future, just a question of 'what if?'.
What would I do to prepare for it? For me, it's a simple matter of self-sufficiency. In theory anyway. I'm a realist and harbor no illusions about the worth of precious metals or currencies or stocks and bonds etc... The only currency I will depend on is goods in hand. Any goods that can be traded to get what I need or want in order to survive whatever is going on. In other words, we all need to be a little bit of a hardware/general store in progress, all the time. And personal skills will be worth more than piles of gold or silver etc... That goes without saying.
The truth of the matter is that for most of humanity, when faced with the topic of this discussion, most will face insurmountable odds of surviving without help. I started preparing for hard times on the eve of 2001 because of my perceived notion that it was quite possibly the beginning of the end the world as we know it. I was wrong, as were many people, but I think it was just the timing. In a very real sense, we are now hurtling toward insurmountable hard times as I type this reply. It would be difficult for anyone to dispute that as anything other than fact, in my opinion. I like to think I saw the writing on the wall back then and acted appropriately. But the fact of the matter is that over the past several years I've relaxed and just lived and followed the path of least resistance. I guess that's human nature, isn't it? I sincerely regret that at this current point in time. But my attitude and actions are both changing, and have been for the past few years.
What to do about it right now? Pray and hope and read and surf the net gleaning knowledge as rapidly as possible. And turning hard cash that still has a reasonable value into hard goods in hand. It's very possible and quite probable that it's much too late to be just getting started in preparing for the coming hard times. Those who have the knowledge and have followed their inner urgings to be a packrat and stockpile hard goods and hone their skills may have a chance. Or not. Time will tell. But one thing is for certain; if you're not prepared or not now preparing, life is going to get way worse than most of us can imagine. The simple act of sitting down to a nice home-cooked meal will take on a whole new meaning for those who have never done without or had to REALLY work for their food. And I don't mean working a 9 - 5 JOB (just over broke) so you can go to the store and buy it. I'm talking about making your own food from the ground up. And changing the way you think about food altogether. Three square's a day will be a distant memory. People will be forced to start eating to live instead of having the luxury of living to eat.
And not just food either. We'll have to change the way we look at and think about things in general and our way of life in particular. We'll have to make changes in our way of life and most folks just don't want to do that and that will be a stumbling block for many. I guess it's pretty apparent that I have a doomer mentality. But that's the way I see things shaking out when our economy collapses. Because face it, if the cost of everything goes up ten times in the coming five years, our economy, or monetary system, will most likely have already collapsed. And the scary part is that I don't think it's going to take five years to get there at the rate we're going now. I keep up with the news and once again, I think I'm seeing the writing on the wall. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.
we don't believe that prices or resources will improve due to global demand. we are fortunate to have a small (2 1/2 acre) property, which is zoned agriculture. we are at zone 5 and above a mile high. no air problems, but cool and cold. we will start collecting rain and snow this winter for a very large number of container gardens. we will plant peach trees, blackberry, and raspberry bushes. we will also be planting medicinal plants (those seeds are in hand). we have two dogs that let us know whenever an unknown vehicle or person is on our semi-private road. we have 2 acres of trees that could use some thinning for firewood. we do have a woodburning fireplace. our source of heat and fuel for cooking is now propane (expensive). we will be using the fireplace more this winter to save on propane. we estimate we will use about 4 cords of wood in the winter. we also have an electric oven to use on offpeak hours (.06kwh). we now have a flock of 22 hens who should start laying in sept. and 3 roosters. they will also provide us with fertilizer for the garden. we have already started composting. our neighbors want us to cut a firebreak for them in exchange for the wood (about 30 trees). the hens and future garden area need to be completely wired (sides, top, and bottom) to prevent raiding by deer, mountain lion, or bear as well as stray dogs. the water is also supplied by a co-op that has a limited membership and have very reasonable rates. we will also be using our grey water for the garden and we do have a septic system. our income is fixed so wind and solar are out of the question at this time. i do cook from scratch and buy canned goods by the case when on sale and will be canning and dehydrating next year. we limit our trips to the big city and use approximately one tank of gas a month. we are now investigating short season seeds for use in the garden with the help of a cold frame. suggestions are welcome.
Thanks to all for your contributions. One limitation I see with many Peak Oil blogs is a one-size-fits-all attitude. This may lead us to try to emulate others, when it really isn't appropriate. For example, I am 59, quite out of shape, live in Saudi Arabia and work for their national oil company as a trainer/consultant. Skills? Was a fire paramedic in CA years ago and spent 5 years at the Findhorn Community. (After which, most of us vowed to never, ever, join another community.) I have studied Peak Oil from a variety of perspectives for 2+ years and am close to returning to the US to start a new life. And while I love MEN, I hope to God I never own a goat. As far as I'm concerned, singles belong in town, not using a whole farm for a residence.
So, to get to the point: "What would I do if..."
First I plan to spend a year improving my health. My Peak Oil plan is:
· Move to a "walking town" that has: natural beauty, trees, fishing, water,
· Choose a town in an agricultural area.
· Choose a town (if possible) that is a transportation hub—trains, busses, trucks,
· In order of preference, buy a Duplex (rent half) or buy a house (rent a room) or
· Get an apartment two blocks from Main St. (I am not a farmer, visit me in town!)
· Live within walking distance of transport, stores, and services.
· Learn new skills (bread, winemaking, leather crafts) · Brush up on existing skills: first aid training, group facilitation, team building.
· Take and Offer classes at night--canning, etc.
· Create my own Permaculture garden with greenhouse, fruit trees
· Use bicycle or motorbike around town
· Get a small RV(truck camper) for occasional outings.
· Prepare for 3-6 month grid down (which is my own worst case scenario) if you don't like mine, get your own.
o lower my energy use (hyperinsulate); get emergency appliances (oil lamps)
o get a solar oven and use it as much as possible
o buy handgun, shotgun, and get training
o store food, water, daily supplies, blankets, extra clothing, sleeping bags, wood,
· Find ways to exchange needed services (fruit, vegetables), and goods (firewood, kerosene)
· Join with others for support. Don't try to cope alone. (But no community J)
Stay updated on the net.
My plans suit my age, skills, inclinations, and values. Hope this helps you to clarify what
solutions will best fit your life and destiny.
I think that is a very valid point. Nothing is ever one size fits all. As for the idea of things being 10x more expensive in five years, here in Northern California things have already started heading in that direction very rapidly. Food being the worst of all.(Even though we are right in the middle of an incredibly diverse agricultural area.)
As for preperation... I am already teaching my children and all of their friends about the joys of foraging, growing your own food and reusing everything. I would definately be speeding up their lessons, as well as adding new ones. I know I wouldn't be able to provide for all of our friends and extended family in the scenario presented, so it would give me a little peace to know they would be able to take care of their own basic needs.
A little side note~To everyone I have had wonderful discussions with in the past, I am sorry I have been absent for so long. My father who taught me EVERYTHING I know about gardening, foraging, recycling, and just about everything else has brain cancer, and I have been taking care of the related issues that go along with it. Your prayers, and positive energy are very welcome.~Enchanted
A hundred years ago...
The population of the US and planet was significantly lower. The US life expectancy was around 30, a mixture of less technology and hygiene the basic causation.
High costs will result in more conservation... the question is where you would personally conserve, and does the individual population realize where everything comes from?
In NE, a pound of steak imported from the midwest... would be much cheaper than the imported feed in transportation costs. But for many... cutting down the forest for pasture, and importing feed/bedding... then replacing the lost firewood with another imported fuel source, is more 'green' than just importing the steak.
The same happens with other formats... transportation in NE (other than trains for long haul) alone would destroy the environment if returned to the 1900s format.
True Dave. But much of NH is rural... the return to equine based travel would require the same dramatic destruction of the pound of steak many times over. One could just cut back on meat, and livestock/poultry specifically. But the horses would need to be fed every day regardless.
NH was nearly deforested at the turn of the century... with only one quarter the population.
I'm not talking about an equine setup although I'm guessing that as the cost of running vehicles rises on a daily basis,equine travel for some may be gaining more practicality.The Northeast US/Canada resembles northern Europe in many ways in regards to road layout and population densities.Europe did'nt remove their railroad system in the 50's like we did here,they improved their systems as so to make it more practical to use 'the rails' than to drive.Americans ripped up their tracks because of 'progress'.Tood bad,though I still think we have some old ralroad ROW's.
Practical unfortunately doesn't mean efficient... especially for a geography of temperate forest.
If NH were grasslands, it would be very efficient... so much more practical.
I think the State owns most of the railbeds, but no funding and restrictions on private investments come from the municipalities and groups opposed to trains.
LOL,indeed it would be and at one time(and I really still can't picture in my mind all the forested mountains around here laid bare of trees at one time but I have seen pictures and it looked completely different then )it was but that had its ramifications too big time.I asked about who owned the old railbeds and the state still owns transportation ROW's for over 90% of the old beds.Some are active others snowmobile trails ,ski areas and power line easements.I was thinking more along the lines of the electric locomotives that Europe, and Japan now use.Very quiet trains,no pollution,very fast,easier to stop.If we moved freight as fast as we moved ourselves on railroads trucking could stay much more local rather than long haul.
This is a hoot.
Your all just fine, but this is my perspective on the WHOLE THING. I've lived on this farm my whole life..yea I saw what I wanted to see out side of the farm...I'm no bumpkin, I just decided that the same stuff we were doing here when I was a little kid was the best way to live, after I saw the rest. We wher canning here in my part of the world when times were good...we were tapping trees, hunting, rasing gardens, chickens ect ect long before all this started. why? we had to. It's called POVERTY! Not just my household, but all of the people I knew did this stuff to some degree. Even the wealthy did some of it.
My grandmother would bake Cookies in batches of 200...then freeze them. She'd put me to picking up apples form the tree in the yard till my hands stuck together. Then she'd make apple pies with out the top and freeze them. Never stopping to sleep.. do you know how many pies you can get from one tree? every month had an all night event. She'd can something ALL NIGHT...and give some away to shut ins, new mothers or whoever had a need. Every house had 2 freezers.It didn't stop with food, I thought my name was Kerry Wood Till I was 12. I still burn wood. It's cheep and practical. you want beef? we do one every year. E feed my sister's family, Mom and dad and my family...I Looking to buy a hog as soon as I can find a butcher to barter with. My friends and I had a work click when we were just 15 or so..we just coppied our father's and grandfathers example. no one is selfsufishent, that's a myth. It's nice to work toward it, but remember..no man is an island. My friends and I work on stuff together. We have a large barn here and a large Kitchen. the fellas come over and we do our deer outside wile our wifes play with our kids together in the house. Speaking of my friends, we all get together and chat about chickeens... we still talk about chics, just not the same kind. we don't go out for fun, we work together and make that fun.
My point is this, what am I going to do to change? Nothing. I'm going to keep liveing the lifestyle that we were live'n before it became a fad. I won't feel bad if the world falls apart...no rove'n gang will come out here, they are too afraid of us hillbillys That's just a fear tactic used to sell stuff. I'll keep working with those around me. If the electric is no more...fine, I'll re-open the ice house and build a new spring house. We could open the creamery down the way and I'll start milking cows again. Nice thing about live'n in a poor place, nothing realy changes.
Its a 'What IF' scenerio... not so much a prediction.
If for some reason the cost of something jumped 10 times what changes would you make?
Obviously for some of us a ten times jump in something like property tax would create insolvency and lead to a tax foreclosure...
But another way to look at it... what if your income dropped to 10% of what it currently is?
What would you change, if anything?

About Only Natural Pet Herbal Remedies
Our Only Natural Pet Herbal Remedies have evolved from the work of holistic veterinarians and experienced herbalists to bring you a wide selection of natural health care products for your animal companion. Herbal formulas are easy to administer and easy for your pet to assimilate, making these treatments both simple and effective. Herbs are also great natural sources of vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, enzymes, and many other nourishing substances.
Only the finest herbs are used in our formulas, and the careful selection and blending of these herbs helps them interact synergistically for stronger, more beneficial effects. Nothing is more natural than harnessing the healing powers of the herbs and flowers around us. When ill or injured, animals in the wild have an uncanny ability to seek out and eat plants with properties that will help them heal.
Natural therapies like our herbal formulas do not just attack the symptoms of a disorder. Instead they rebuild your companion's total health and facilitate their body's innate ability to heal itself. When natural remedies are used in conjunction with a nutritious diet, your pet can enjoy a healthier life.
The effectiveness of Rosehip C Herbal Formula, as with ANY herbal or natural remedy, varies with the health of the animal. An animal being fed a high quality diet with adequate vitamins and enzymes will respond better than an animal on a poor quality diet. Each animal's system needs support in healing from within. Please see our article, "What You Need to Know About Your Pet's Food," for information about feeding the best quality diet.
This product was made in a FDA-approved facility using human-grade ingredients.
Available in 2 oz and 4 oz liquid. Each 2 oz. bottle contains approximately 1,050 drops, and each 4 oz. bottle contains approximately 2,100 drops of the formula.

ferrets love it!

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Only Natural Pet Rosehip C Herbal Formula:
I thought it might be difficult to get the vitamin C into my little guys, but it turns out they love the taste! I bought it b/c I'd recently read ferrets are prone to cancer and vitamin C was good for keeping that at bay... I also had an older cat get really sick and thought she could use some. The ferrets love it and the cat will eat it in wet food. I'm thrilled I can get carnivores to take this!
Comment on this review
Very satisfied
By Yakittycat
from Scranton, PA
Since my cat was diagnosed with possible intestinal cancer I began giving her water-soluble vitamins. I find liquid the easiest to administer and get into her system quickly. She's had a quick and positive response to the vitamins and appears healthy and active.

I would buy this product again
By Catta
Liquid vitamins are most effective for sick animals because they get into the system faster and are a lot easier to administer, especially for cats. Also, with liquid vitamins you can adjust the dose as needed.

I'd love Shower Power next, but I'll take them all-especially a Vintage toy version!
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
Definitely need a classics original Catra.
Grayskull needs its Cardboard Spacesuit MOTUCized
Voice your support in the Cardboard Spacesuit/Robot thread:
Toy/style guide version all the way. I'd much rather have it than the version we have.
Click on Amazon or Barnes and Noble for a free sample of my first book, Paradigm Shift Saga: Malediction!
A short story of monsters and magic!
I vote Shower Power. Those leggings are fierce.
PoP Variants are part of the vintage line, too! Starburst She-Ra, Shower Power Catra, and Scratchin' Sound Catra for 2015!!!
I think having that black and pink version would be pretty cool and I would take it in the sub if they did it as a varient.
By the Power of Grey Skull!
Shower Power! She needs to burst She-Ra's bubbles!
Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.
You can join the Illumina Facebook page here!
Looking at the doll's, ahem, breast piece, I realize that could be reused for a 200x Evil-Lyn.
I'd like to see the top choice released with add on Shower-Power armor, similar to BP She-Ra.
Can do without the 80's tights, lol
Planet Claire has pink air
All the trees are red

I also want to vote Classic vitange toy, and while the styleguid is pretty much close, I'd rather, since we have Filmation Catra already, I'd much prefer a more exact version of the vintage toy.
Top wants: 3 main Twiggets, Red Knight, Granita, Hunga the Harpy, Dylamug, Vultak, Enchantress, Kothos, General Tataran, Evil Seed (Filmation), Masque, Sybiline (pack-in Gorgon), Melaktha, Despara, toy Catra, Master Sebrian, Andros, Sorceress NA comic, Kex Queen, Lodar, Green trap Jaw, Pink tri-Klops, pale monkey feet Stratos, Orange Ram man, Pale Man e Faces
Of the choices presented, I voted for Shower Power, but I have to agree with everyone who said Vintage Toy deco would be my first choice, but I hope if they give us her, they use the Battleground Teela furry panties. and a new bodice that could be reused as 200X Lyn.

I do custom action figures, commissioned art, and I will make any Masters of the Universe costume, tailored to you!

I went for Shower Power Catra, as it matches the Bubble Power She-Ra we already have.
I do hope the original vintage versions of both Catra & She-Ra get made eventually.
I'd like it if they found a way to make the Horde emblem swappable with the other piece.
Planet Claire has pink air

The original 1st toyline version would be the one I want the most. However out of the 3 options on offer I'd have to go with Shower Power Catra.
Sorry, I can't vote either. Vintage toy Catra is missing.
Uncle Montork has returned from Trolla!
Out of the three listed, Shower Power Catra.
But I too, like most everyone who's replied, would prefer to see Toyline Catra first.
More Vintage NA for MOTUC in 2016!!
MOTUC wants: KAYO, Perfuma, Darius, Drissi, Sebrian, Crita, Hoove, Staghorn, Crystoll, Quakke, Nocturna, B.H., Lizzor, Lord Masque, Chef Allen, Clawdeen, Granita, Hunga, Kothos, Admiral Scurvy, Red Knight, Vultak, King Ahgo, the Twiggets, Meteorbs
Great .org transactions: sdilks, Man-E-Toys, bigassbuzz x2, Climan, wolvie3579, air23cnhit, Jestermon
Shower power. Mainly because we need more leopard print in MOTUC!
We don't need no education...
Yes you do, you've just used a double negative!
I want a vintage toy repaint of Catra like that first pic with a new whip accessory. She'd be awesome!

- Clarke's Third Law
None of them.
An outfit without the Horde emblem. Something she wore before her allegiance to the Horde.
I cant vote either. I want a toy version 1 type next. I think they can use parts from BG Teela to make it look better. Maybe when they bring out Clawdeen, they can release her.
Gaping holes in my collection: Regular old Teela, Weapons pack 1, Power & Honour book 1, SDCC artbook (maybe)
Can't vote here either. Personally I'd rather have a Catra in her cat-form similar to the size of the Cringer we were given with QM/CG.

Work and a busy schedule can leave you craving some fun and relaxation. A rejuvenating quick Caribbean cruise break not only gets you away from it all but returns you to your life inspired, refreshed and feeling ready to be more productive than ever.
East of Central America is the Caribbean Sea and the vast array of islands that make up the Caribbean region. Some of these are island nations such as Jamaica or a nation comprised of several islands such as the Bahamas.
The Caribbean is a great choice for a quick getaway as it not only offers an exotic holiday close to mainland USA but the number of islands in a relatively small area means a fun and varied Caribbean vacation is possible within a short time frame and without a lot of travel time between destinations. Ports of call are not far from each other so traveling between them will take a few hours at most. This means that you spend most of your Caribbean vacation at the destinations rather than at sea.
Another advantage to choosing a Caribbean cruise is the variety among the islands. From night life, authentic Caribbean cuisine, sports, places of historical interest and friendly, vibrant local communities the full range of relaxing and exciting holiday activities can be found in the shortest Caribbean tour. Cruises can range from six to fifteen days and the peak season for weather is June, July and the first half of August. This period has little strong wind. Winds are at their strongest from mid August until October.
Most inhabitants of the Caribbean islands speak English (with differing dialects) which is an additional advantage to US travelers. Different currencies are used throughout the Caribbean but many of these are linked to the US Dollar and often have a fixed exchange rate. This offers the advantage of avoiding exchange rates which leave you paying out more than you bargained for.
A Caribbean cruise presents the opportunity for many unique activities such as scuba diving and snorkeling for both beginners and experts. Impressive coral reefs and ghostly ship wrecks give the Caribbean its reputation as one of the best places to dive in the world. Various locations offer the chance to swim with stingray, dolphins and even sharks. If the idea of an underwater adventure appeals to you then you might consider a ride in a Scenic Underwater Bubble submarine which works a bit like an underwater moped and does not require familiarity with diving equipment and procedures.
Hiking in the Caribbean takes you through some of the most beautiful landscapes imaginable. Wildlife fanatics can head to nature reserves to try and glimpse creatures such as the green tail monkey or Caribbean fruit bat. It is possible to go on Jeep tours of plantations and tropical areas.
Golfers will be spoiled for choice with a range of challenging and unusual courses. Sailing enthusiasts can hire boats and either enjoy the waters or visit nearby islands. With the white sandy beaches and crystal clear water there may never have been a better place to indulge in some surf.
The Caribbean is a paradise for the active traveler as well as those who like to sit and appreciate the sunset as they enjoy a beach barbecue buffet and a rum cocktail. With so many options within easy reach on a Caribbean cruise there's no reason not to have and do it all.

The opposite of the term sitting duck. A word meaning a person who is always active and attentive at all times. A lazy Standing Goose has never been observed.
After my 3-mile jog yesterday, Tina commented me by saying I was a "Standing Goose". Then we did it. :)

Thanks for everyone for showing up and playing nice, and special thanks to new players and people who stayed to test Wolfenswan's Hunter Hunted.Clips are fully loaded, and then blood floods the lawn
River Assault
Heroic CO
I've never played River Assault attacking over the dam. Apparently that approach, as well as completing the mission overall, have achieved mythical status.
Myths Busted!
The plan was simple; we'd taxi to the dam, leave MMG on overwatch with the mortar to hit any bunkers, and have A/B/C advance over the dam in sequence. Things went poorly as bunkers on the far side of the river destroyed the M113 and disabled the BTR before we could get to the RV position. We lost two people, I think? After getting bored of waiting for people to get their stuff together I lead the charge (followed by Harakka's Alpha) on the positions on our side of the dam. We took no casualties.
The next fifteen or so minutes were an agonizingly slow crawl across the dam, with a friendly fireteam catching up to me only for the last few meters. Between the crack shots made by the MMG/MTR section and some careful sniping from roofs we managed to clear the far side. Things got hairy again when enemy armour turned up, but someone managed a beaut of an RPG shot that decrewed it. I think we lost another guy in a firefight with the troops that bailed from it.
We had a number of minor injuries securing our beach head, but then pushed into the target village as planned. I personally destroyed the artillery guns. Having completed our primary objective with minimal casualties we then pressed on to the optional one. My plan was "charge" and the FTLs filled in the rest. IceRaiser finally got ahead of me but eventually had his PC crash. I finally bought the farm just outside the objective.
The remaining fireteams managed to clear out the last few stragglers and blow up all three parked enemy M113s.
MEDALS FOR EVERYONE! (Quadruple for me, plus a purple heart)
Defender Alpha FTL
The randomised layout was reasonably favourable; we knew the enemy pretty much had to hit C and D and would probably also try to take A and B as they were far away from us. CO had me positional alpha to cover C and then move up to get eyes on B. Opfor blew A, and I got sniped just moments before I would have been hidden in a bush overlooking B.
Sadly the evil Opfor Menace managed to draw our defences from D and destroy that as well as A and B, earning them the win.
Reinf AAR for Charlie
I crashed out after the first few engagements. I got some good shots in and our FTL was doing well.
2Plt Delta FTL
We shared a mumble channel with Charlie, which got used a little less than I had hoped, but we were always within arms reach of each other. It went pretty well, don't have much to say about it.
Should be fun to play it with 60-80 on Sunday!
Hunter Hunted
Local Alpha Grenadier
Another test mission, I didn't see anything. Well, I saw one guy once, but didn't get a positive ID before he escaped. Mission called due to bugs/crashed choppers.
As CO in River Assault I felt a bit disconnected; people weren't responding to me in a timely fashion which is why I was in the front getting all the kills myself (I only needed a medic three times!). I think it might be an idea for the CO to shout to all players, with FTLs doing the responses on (c)ommand (c)ircuit as usual.
Some people disagree, but I felt a mumble room for eight is about right, whilst four is a bit too few even if it masks the worst parts of VON.
We seemed to be slowly pulling the overwatch thing together. I saw it used in River Assault, Cratesistance (not that it did me any good :) ) and Zargabaddies. A bit more practice and we'll be able to crack the toughest of nuts.Last edited by Nullkigan; 04-01-2012 at 01:35 PM.

River Assault
Heroic Bravo FTL
After getting our stuff together and some screaming at the BTR driver we manged to arrive to the point outside the first enemy postion as we dismounted we took heavy fire and i ordered my sqaud to stay put in a small ditch expect my AR who i ordered to engage the enemy. After some regrouping i manged to drag my squadmembers down into the first point where we set up to cross the dam tho i slowed down due to wanting to spread out my ftl member over the bridge while leaving the AR to supress the enemy on the far side, of-course i kinda broke my own spacing rules and a grenade wounded 2 of us., after a while we manged to get over the help the CO secure the area once it was secure alpha was sent over and that's when i heard the bumming of a BMP-2 quickly enough i seized a RPG from a fallen enemy and proceed to strike a nice rear hit.. then we killed a bunch of contacts and completed the mission weee.
Great work guys.
After boldly going for the A cache and a minor screw up with a satchel we fell back towards CO to go for the D cache after it came apparent that we enemy near the Alpha FT we were ordered to proceeded to C instead. Where we killed a few AI(?) and i rushed in to plant the satchel while under fire,after getting my team to a safe distance i detonated the bomb,then we won
River Assault
CO: Nullkigan
- Alpha fireteam
- FTL: harakka
- Qazi
- Genesis
- Bravo (BTR-60), Charlie, MMG (Mortar) fireteams
The feeling of safety ended as we dismounted and both vehicles, parked on the ridge to provide fire support, took heavy fire from the static defences on the dam and were disabled (and in the case of the M113, blown up). Once MMG was in place the elements started advancing to the buildings on the dam's west side, first CO in a mad dash, followed by Alpha and the rest.
Unfortunately Qazi was lost along the way. The defenders were already pretty dead once we arrived, so Alpha took up positions in the building to provide overwatch for the troops to cross the dam.
The crossing was challenging but eventually successful with valuable assistance from MMG's mortar. Luckily for us the BMP wheeling about on the eastern side just drove by without doing much, and Martin Konopnik was nowhere to be seen.
Once everyone was on the other side of the dam we started pushing for the artillery base, taking out the BMP and its infantry contents on the way. Alpha managed to avoid most of the action, with just a few stragglers between us and the base.
The artillery base was relatively calm when we arrived, and the guns were promptly blown up. This would already have been a great victory, but we decided to top it off by destroying the vehicles at another enemy base nearby. Once again the trip was pretty calm for Alpha, and once we arrived after checking out some suspicious buildings nearby, the depot was already secured by MMG team.
CO Nullkigan decided to celebrate this by finally succumbing to enemy bullets, this being maybe the fourth time during the mission he got shot. I promptly took command, ordered destruction of the remaining vehicles and basked in the glory of my successful command as we declared the mission a victory.
Here's a video of the mission from my viewpoint, with the most boring bits cut out.
CDF CO: Unaco
- Bravo
- FTL: Washington
- harakka (attached medic)
- Alpha, Charlie fireteams
This proved to work pretty well, even though one of the explosions was mistimed. Alpha and Bravo (to which I was attached as medic) took care of the two initial caches and Charlie was sent off to gank the cache farthest away from the initial two. Bravo was sent to the nearest cache as safeguard, taking out an enemy scout along the way.
By the time we arrived in the cache's vicinity however, Charlie was already engaging their southernmost cache's defenders and from what I heard on the radio, managed to set up the bomb after an intense but brief firefight and secure CDF victory.
Even though my team didn't see a lot of action, it was very entertaining to witness Unaco's planning mind games. And, as always, it's nice to run around in the foggy forests. That's what I made the mission for after all!
This was a fairly by-the-numbers job, with CO Egg setting up an initial plan of fireteams advancing in a line through the valley. It worked. Also, IceRaiser has some kind of strange fixation with goats.
Zargabaddies SE
This was a test for the upcoming Folk/ARPS, CiA & LDDK joint event, with us doing a runthrough of the initial part of the mission. We were reasonably successful, taking little losses until getting to the dry riverbed. Stuff seemed to work and Fer didn't want to show all his cards, so the mission was called. I doubt we could have made it much further alive anyway...
Hunter Hunted
CDF CO: Fer
- Alpha: FTL harakka, Nullkigan, MixMasterZero
- Bravo, Charlie fireteams
This was the first test run of a new adversarial mission by Wolfenswan. The idea is pretty interesting: a small team of Spetsnaz have to take out a CDF major passing through an area that is patrolled by both human and AI CDF soldiers, and exfiltrate via a human-piloted chopper. The area is also littered with movement-triggered ground flares that give away the Spetsnaz' position. It is however night, and only the Spetsnaz have nightvision equipment.
Due to pitch black night and very low visibility range the Spetsnaz could have been right next to us without us knowing it, and my teammate Nullkigan suspected that to be the case at least once. Fer wanted Alpha to get eyes on the road the major was travelling on but we were a bit late, and the Spetsnaz successfully took out the major. A flare was tripped about 300m from Alpha's position but we didn't manage to catch the guys who did it.
Fer arranged us to cordon the most likely landing position and then move to the next one when the helicopter sound was heard nearby. However the Spetsnaz sort of failed to exfiltrate: in difficult flying conditions the ace pilot IceRaiser attempted a landing that was beyond even his skill, and broke the chopper. The assassins had however split up, and some had already managed to leg it outside the CDF-patrolled area, disappearing into the night.
A very interesting and moody mission, and Wolfenswan has already incorporated input from the playtest into the next version. Hopefully we can play it soon.
Other stuff
I felt the CC Mumble setup worked nicely in River Assault, though there's probably a lot to improve on the actual comms procedure. I'm very willing to use CC again, though it does involve a slight setup hassle which may be a barrier for people. I wish Mumble had a shortcut for toggling the CC tag..Last edited by harakka; 05-01-2012 at 06:59 AM. Reason: Added a vidya

Thirty-nine statewide organizations, communities and businesses are urging the Governor and state legislature to correct South Dakota's eminent domain laws that are currently being manipulated to delay a project important to South Dakota's future. The groups expressed frustration over delay tactics designed to block the Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad's expansion and upgrade project. "We all want fairness for the landowners," said David McGirr, Mayor of Huron, "and believe that if the merits of the issue are ever allowed to be argued it will prove that DM&E has been fair.
Area residents and Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad representatives met at the Philip Fire Hall Wednesday evening, January 23, 2008 to discuss the railroad crossing on County Road 13. DM&E office engineer Beth Lynn, Sioux Falls and Frank Doland civil engineer with HWS, Lincoln, NE, outlined some of the problems with the crossing. Doland noted his biggest concern was the seven percent grade on the hill coming down to the crossing. He noted he was afraid in bad road conditions a driver would not be able to stop in time and would run into a train.
The Haakon Education Asso-ciation celebrity-item auction to raise funds for playground equipment, held on Sunday, January 20th, brought in $3,393. "HEA was very happy with the outcome of the auction," said HEA co-president Jessica Wheeler.
The Philip Scotties competed at the State B Wrestling Duals Tournament in Wagner on Saturday, January 26th, in Wagner. At this tournament, the wrestlers did not compete for individual wins in the designated weight classes. Here, teams were only scored against other teams. Some individuals, though, wrestled in a higher weight class for practice against different opponents, to fill in an empty weight slot or to strategically win specific matches to earn team points. No individual champions were crowned. Philip ended up placing eighth as a team.
The Philip boy's basketball team traveled to Martin to challenge the Bennett County Warriors on Tuesday, January 22nd. The game ended 54-106 in favor of the Warriors.

Totals 13 25-30 54. Bennett Co.
The Philip boy's basketball team hosted the Lemmon Cowboys on Friday, January 25th. The Scotties attempted a fourth quarter come-back, but just could not pull it off in this non-conference game. The final score was 54-60. The Scotties repeatedly pulled within four points of the Cowboys' lead during the final quarter, but let the initiate slip and gave up several free throws points. Philip 6 16 37 54 Lemmon 18 29 44 60 Philip scorers: Caleb Clements - 21, Casey Cvach 10, Jeb Stewart, Rob Williamson - 8 each, Allen Hauk - 4, Brandon O'Dea - 3.
The Philip Lady Scotties held back a hard drive by the Wall Lady Eagles that ended in overtime play. The Scotties defeated the Eagles in a Wall hosted Great Plains Conference game on Saturday, January 26th. The last buzzer sounded to a Philip win of 52-47. Philip out did Wall 20-15 in free throws, and that was one of the deciding factors in winning the game.

Hello everyone,
I am a new Linux user, and trying to run Fedora6 on my Dell E1505, but encountered lots of problems. Thanks to the discussions on many Linux forums, especially Michael's replies here, I partially solved some problems. But my wireless adapter and ATI video card still have not been configured to work properly. Trying...
What wireless adapter and video card are you using?
Hi Michael,
My wireless adapter is Intel 3945ABG, with my Duo CPU.
Video card is ATI Mobility X1400.
I tried some methods that solved others' problem. But obviously, there are still something wrong on my laptop.
I will post the detail on related thread(s). It would be nice if you could give me some hints.
Thank you!
What problems are you having with the X1400? Create a new thread if you need help. For the Intel 3945ABG try the FreshRPMs repo or get the drivers from the SF page.
I just posted the details in the thread here,
I run Gentoo 2006.1 x86 on my 4-year-old P4-M laptop. It originally came with Windows XP, but SP2 rendered my laptop unusable due to drivers BSODing the system every hour or so. I put SuSE 9.1 on there and stuck with SuSE until 10.1 came out and had the whole crudded-up package manager. I had tried Ubuntu briefly, but it didn't have hibernate support and the then-recent version's kernel had no swsusp2 patch. So I went and put Gentoo 2006.0 on both machines as Gentoo's supposedly the one that you can get anything to work on. The guys on my local LUG were right and I've been happily running Gentoo since then.
It seems a common thing for people here to run Gentoo on their laptops. Did you do it for speed, geek factor, or because you can tweak it? I did it for the tweaks I can ensure everything works like a charm. My CFLAGS are pretty weak (added -msse and -msse2; -msse3 on the desktop is about it) but my systems are rock solid.
That surprises me given the time it takes to compile. My laptop is just a little over two years old and recompiling takes quite a while :-D
Personally I chose Gentoo for the simple fact that's the only distro I really use. No other distro has grabbed my attention like it has. Love the customization and tweaking factor that comes with it.
My laptop is twice as old as yours. If it didn't have any help from the desktop via distcc, it would honestly take 3-4 days to compile the base system, X, and KDE. With the desktop helping out, it takes roughly 1.5-2 days, dependent on how much stuff can use distcc.
