Why does EncoreDVD 2.0 add a chapter point at the end of my timeline?
Mar 6, 2006 1:55 PM
Encore 2.0 automatically adds a hidden chapter point at the end of every timeline...it's a feature.
Its purpose is to execute the timeline end action so reliable navigation is provided, reason being that many DVD players execute a title search when you hit the Next button, which before Encore 2.0 would then bring you to the next title on the DVD. Many times, this would result in undesirable navigation behavior (and users would have to add a chapter point manually to the end of a timeline), hence the new feature.
Some burning applications may not correctly handle this new feature. If yours does not, then build a DVD image in Encore 2.0 (this creates the entire disc structure) and then burn the image from your burning application. The behavior should be the same as burning directly from Encore.

Released: Jun 01st, 2002
Running Time: 91
Director: Sam Shaft
Company: Midnight Video
Kelsey, Lainey, Delilah Trinity, Emerald, Anita Cannibal, Sam Shaft, Adam Wilde, Guy DiSilva
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Anita Cannibal and anal fans.
Sam Shaft goes with the oft-used gym theme with a decent collection of workout sex. It opens with Lainey, the cute blonde pictured on the box, working out with Adam Wilde. Wilde fucks Lainey missionary and doggie on the flat bench before invading her asshole in reverse cowgirl.
Anita Cannibal, a real-life bodybuilder, works on the incline chest press with Guy DiSilva spotting her and massaging her firm tits. She talks dirty as they jump into reverse cowgirl and missionary with her legs spread in close to a full split. The audio here does not match up with her lip movements, but the footage is strokable nonetheless.
A hot g/g interlude follows between Lainey and Emerald, who dons a black strap-on and fucks Lainey cowgirl and then sticks it in her ass. Cannibal finger-fucks, and then spanks the sexy Kelsey before humping her with a strap-on doggie style in the fourth scene. Shaft works out Delilah Trinity, who has a great set of tits that aren't showcased enough in the three-position closer.

Vintage California pottery lady figurine, Kay Finch,
for item
California pottery lady figurine has all of the characteristics of a Yona or Ynez pottery piece. Then it also has the heart shape lips. Yona worked with Heidi Schoop then later did her own ceramics. This little lady wears apink dress has a bouquet of pink roses and a lacy shoulder trim of lace. Lace is for the most part in wonderful condition with just a very small area chipped off. She has auger curls and a pink bow in her hair. She has a faint signature on the bottom that looks like it might say Kay Finch, but not 100% sure, but has an incised F into the clay and has same type of bow and hair detailing and eyes Yona Ynez and Kay Finch did typically. She is so precious, and measures 6 1/4" tall. I also have a similar girl in yellow listed that has the same incised F. Your Guess???

Inspections, Permits, Code Enforcement & Zoning
Pennsburg Borough operates Municipal Storm Sewer Systems (MS4). This underground system of pipes carries rainwater and snowmelt away from roads and parking lots and discharges the drainage water into lakes and rivers. Ideally, this system should transport mostly clean water. But because rainwater and snowmelt from streets, lawns, farms, and construction sites mixes with lawn fertilizers, pesticides, oil, and other pollutants, the runoff becomes contaminated. This contaminated water eventually makes its way to into the storm sewer system and ultimately into our rivers, lakes and streams. Stormwater runoff is the most common cause of water pollution.
What can you do to help prevent stormwater pollution?
S Pick up after your pet. When it rains, pet waste left on lawns can be washed into storm drains that lead to nearby lakes and streams. Untreated pet waste can cause significant water pollution. Click here to find out more.
-Check your vehicle for drips and oil leaks regularly and fix them promptly to prevent gasoline, oil, brake and transmission fluids, and anti-freeze from leaking onto the pavement and washing into our streams. A single quart of oil can pollute 250,000 gallons of drinking water!
-Keep your vehicle tuned to reduce oil use. -Use ground cloths or drip pans under your vehicle if you have leaks or if you are doing engine work. -Clean up spills immediately and properly dispose of materials. -Collect all used oil in containers with tight-fitting lids. Old plastic jugs are excellent for this purpose. -Recycle used motor oil. Many auto supply stores, car care centers, and gas stations will accept used oil or check www.wsaemc.org for recycling locations. -Do not pour any engine fluids down floor drains, sinks, storm drains or onto the ground. Automotive Owner Guide
Other Things You Can Do: -Have your septic tank pumped regularly. -Recycle all containers made of glass, plastic & aluminum. NEVER DUMP ANYTHING DOWN STORM DRAINS
POLLUTION HOTLINE: If you see any type of incident that may impact a storm sewer system, such as an oil spill or other contaminant that may lead to a storm drain, please contact the Pennsburg Borough Office at 215-679-4546, ext. 3, or email us at email@example.com.
Please visit www.perkiomenwatershed.org CLICK HERE to complete a brief questionnaire. Your answers will help the efforts of the borough and the PWC to protect stormwater and prevent the pollution of our streams and groundwater wells, which supply our drinking water.

SWIMMING POOL WATER DISCHARGE GUIDELINES Water from swimming pools and hot tubs often contain high levels of chlorine. Discharging chlorinated water into storm drains, streams, irrigation canals or ponds is not permitted due to the danger it may cause fish and other aquatic life.
According to the Department of Environmental Protection, you should follow the following guidelines to dispose of swimming pool or hot tub water. 1. Prior to disposing or using the water for irrigation, shut off the chlorination system if you have one, or stop adding chlorine. 2. Hold the water in the pool or hot tub for two weeks to reduce the chlorine level. 3. Discharge or use the water for irrigation in an area where the water will not flow into a stream or storm sewer drain. 4. Discharge or use the water for irrigating your property and ensure it does not flow off your property. 5. Discharge or use the water for irrigation in a manner that will prevent nuisance conditions (such as creation of odors, and fly and mosquito breeding conditions). Nuisance conditions occur when water is held in the pool for a prolonged period. 6. The water should be discharged at a rate which does not create erosion and is able to be absorbed into the ground. 7. Any solids that have formed in the water should be removed manually.
Questions concerning pool guidelines should be directed to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's Regional Office:

Roundhouse Park
Roundhouse Park | |
Roundhouse Park viewed from the CN Tower

Coordinates | 43°38′28″N 79°23′07″W / 43.64111°N 79.38528°WCoordinates: 43°38′28″N 79°23′07″W / 43.64111°N 79.38528°W |
Operated by | Toronto Parks |
Website | Roundhouse Park |
Roundhouse Park is a 17 acre (6.9 ha) park in Downtown Toronto in the former Railway Lands. It features the John Street Roundhouse, a preserved locomotive roundhouse which is home to the Toronto Railway Museum, Steam Whistle Brewing and Leon's Furniture. The park is also home to a collection of trains, the former Canadian Pacific Railway Don Station, and the Roundhouse Park Miniature Railway. The park is bounded by Bremner Boulevard, Lower Simcoe Street, Lake Shore Boulevard West/Gardiner Expressway and Rees Street.
The John Street Roundhouse was built in 1929-31. Following the renovations of the roundhouse in the 1990s, the area to the east of the building became a city owned park named Roundhouse Park in 1997. The Toronto Railway Museum occupies Roundhouse Park and officially opened in 2010. The Museum occupies three stalls of the John St. Roundhouse and features an indoor display, an indoor restoration facility, a full size diesel cab simulator, an outdoor miniature railway, numerous railway engines and rolling stock as well as a fully restored railway village which includes Don Station, Signal Cabin D (with toolshed), a Watchman's shanty, a Water Tower and a coaling tower.
John Street Roundhouse[edit]
John Street Roundhouse (Canadian Pacific) |
National Historic Site of Canada | |
Original use | Roundhouse |
Current use | Toronto Railway Museum, Steam Whistle Brewery and Leons Furniture Store at The Roundhouse |
Administrative body | City of Toronto |
Designated as a NHSC | 1990 |
Year built | 1931 |
The John Street Roundhouse was built for the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1929-31 by Anglin-Norcross to replace the earlier John Street roundhouse built in 1897. Trains were so properly maintained at this location that railroaders recognized them by their "John Street polish." [1] When diesel run trains began being used, business was slowed at the Roundhouse and the building was last used for its original purpose in 1986. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company donated the roundhouse to the City of Toronto. It is the only remaining roundhouse in downtown Toronto (the CNR Spadina Roundhouse was demolished to make way for construction of the SkyDome). One third of the original structure was dismantled, to allow construction of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre below, then reconstructed (1995)by Hotson Bakker Architects and is now home to Steam Whistle Brewing. Renovations to the brewery interior portion were done by William Hurst Architects. The remaining two thirds was rehabilitated by IBI Group Architects and now house the Toronto Railway Heritage Centre and Leon's Furniture. The turntable and courtyard, Roundhouse Park with the restored wooden railway buildings was also completed by IBI and has received a number of design awards. The SkyWalk retains a direct connection from the Roundhouse Park, to Union Station.
John Street Roundhouse could maintain 32 locomotives at a time. 32 bay doors make up the inner rounded facade of the building and face the 120 foot turntable. This turntable was the largest used by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company and was constructed by the Canadian Bridge Company. [2] The exterior and interior of the building is mostly composed of brick and glazing. Each of the bay doors is of wood construction and can be left open to reveal a floor to ceiling glass wall with a regular sized man door inset. Natural light floods the interior space from the curved loft space and all exterior facades. Refurbished wooden columns also stand within the interior of the structure. [3] The coaling tower and water tank are auxiliary structures still located in the park from the working days of the John Street Roundhouse. [4]
The John Street Roundhouse was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1990.[5][6]
Toronto Railway Museum[edit]
Toronto Railway Museum | |
Established | May 2010 |
Location | Toronto, Ontario, Canada |
Type | Transport museum |
Website | www |
The Toronto Railway Historical Association (TRHA) was established in 2001 and is now incorporated as a federally registered charity. Its primary focus is the development of the Toronto Railway Museum (TRM).
The museum opened on May 28, 2010. The TRM operates year round. Cabin D has also been moved to Roundhouse Park from the City's collection of historic buildings and was repainted and repaired but remains in its original structural state.
Don Station[edit]
The Don Station was built in 1896 by Canadian Pacific Railway and was originally located at the Don River and Queen Street East along the western bank of the river. In 1969 it was moved to Todmorden Mills. For many years while it was there the station was boarded up and not open to the public. Upon its relocation to the Roundhouse park, it was repainted and repaired and opened to the public to purchase tickets for the Roundhouse Park Miniature Railway.
Miniature Railway[edit]
The Toronto Railway Museum's Miniature Railway opened in 2010 within Roundhouse Park provides rides to visitors to the museum in season. [7]
Collection of Trains[edit]

you'll never believe how fucking awesome rain man is when you're stoned.
you know your drunk when 7 soccer players cant catch up to a tranny in high heels who just stole your wallet
She was so drunk that I kept trying to switch out her wine for water. Sort of like Jesus, but in reverse.
Somedays I wish I were a bird. Then people wouldn't be so grossed out when I vomit
let's just say, the carpet matched the drapes. in colour and length.
So my grandma sent me a doily for my birthday - don't ask why, I don't know. Anyways I put my bong on it, I think it actually classed up the joint.
just walked by a lingerie store, the sign out front, "Specials for Father's Day", in no way is that just not wrong.
If she catches me sniffing the seat of her office chair again, she's either going to fire me or fuck me
are you so shy because you have an std?
My nephew just came out playing with my moms vibrator.
I think I saw a glimmer of recognition, but she must not have been able to make me out through all of her whorishness.
Pls tell me she didnt actually sign a nutsack.
found a dugout with weed in it in dad's car. decided to top up the weed compartment with salvia. for fun.
The girl I brought home was really impressed with the pile of blow you were doing while watching "Intervention."

11 July 2012
After two weeks of joyous memory- making days with the four kiddos
(think days upon days of sun and upper 90 degree heat) getting all the smalls dressed, sun-blocked and off to the beach or park or friends house on my own has been .. adventure-full. There are the reoccurring discussions on who gets to sit next to the baby, who gets to choose the first song in the car, and who gets to bring which favourite toy, lego, or random rock along with them. Someone always realises (only once we are up the long alley and all buckled up and cooking in the car that they have forgotten the most IMPORTANT (fill in the blank) bit of paper, special broken clock, random plastic container, moshi monster,football card or dead bug...yes many a golden moment there (Que crying teething baby). But seriously there have been laughs, tears, kitty emergencies and many many many bits of bickering
But now blessed summer camp has begun and ohh to have a few glorious mornings alone - or rather with the little napper!
At long last I am beginning to sew again, hoping to reopen the etsy shop soon (end of August).
So without further ado- a few pictures of the latest little Caper Collection toy-
this is one for Giuseppe
(there is a matching twin brother giraffe just like it a the newly opened
lovely Prickly Pear shop in Rabat in Gozo).
* Amid the forays to beaches and games of memory there has been a good deal of ice cream making and cold soup consuming.
Recipes to come.

It is so nice to have finally got my act together and be able to start visiting people again!!
Awww, your wee one is soooo cute!! And Yay to the re-opening of your Etsy shop (I can think of a little girl who would love that giraffe!). I've just taken the plunge and opened my first shop (Art Is Autobiographical). Its exciting and scary!!
C x- Anonymous7 August 2012 at 09:15
Guiseppe looks like he's trying to discuss something with that giraffe. Nice to read a bit of your blog and think of life in the Mediterranean. Looking forward to more posts. -Peter Rebuffoni (Minneapolis)

Cold War Files: All Units: People: Clark Clifford
Clark Clifford was born in 1904 in Fort Scott, Kansas. He attended college and law school at Washington University, and practiced law in St. Louis, Missouri between 1928 and 1943. He served as a Navy officer from 1944 to 1946 and was a major player in the formation of the National Security Act of 1947. He then returned to practicing law, but continued to consult the White House, and took on an even greater role as an unofficial counselor to the President when Johnson took office. In 1968 he replaced Robert McNamara as Johnson's Secretary of Defense. He stressed that the US should aim to ensure the self-determination of South Vietnam. He was opposed to ending the bombing of North Vietnam, which Johnson later announced in 1968 in an effort to stimulate peace talks. Eventually, Clifford came to share McNamara's views on the war in Vietnam: the US should gradually disengage. In Washington he was widely respected for the work he did in his short term as Secretary of Defense. When the Johnson administration ended, Clifford returned to practicing law. However, he continued to advise the White House when he was called upon, as happend under President Carter. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Honor for his work with Johnson and his service to the US government.

My Homemade First Anniversary Card
Our first anniversary is coming up and I've been trying to think up a fun and creative way to show just how much I love and appreciate the love of my life.
He's so sweet, he will love this homemade first anniversary card.
Edited to add: This is how the anniversary card turned out. I had to change it a little bit from what I had originally written out due to a space shortage and I couldn't find a Big Hunk candy bar.
My husband loved it and thought it was pretty clever. He has such a sweet tooth, so he went to town on it right away.
I've got to say, a man will think it's the greatest gift if he can put it in his stomach.)

How to Care for Roses
How To Care for Roses
Roses can be quite temperamental and difficult to deal with but the joy of being able to cultivate and flourish an entire rose bush is definitely worth all the time. There are quite a few steps in caring for roses however out of all those only seven are deemed important and known as the basics.
Before we proceed to the seven basic steps on how to care for roses allow me to enumerate the three major types of roses. First rose specie are those best recognized by their Latin name beginning in R which stands for Rosa. These types of roses bloom only once and have single petals. Their bushes grow up to a maximum of 20 feet. Second rose specie is the old garden rose which is quite famous for the heady fragrance. These types bloom annually and have great hip produce. Last rose specie is the modern rose. The most famous of which is the Hybrid tea introduced primarily by the well-known rose breeder, Guillot a Frenchman.
The seven basic steps on how to care for roses are as follows.
One: choose field grown plants. Its best to choose budded plants and those that have not been pruned.
Two: When planting roses, select an area that is well-drained and sunny. Make sure to cut off bruised and broken roots. To facilitate drainage, place pebbles in the hole that has been dug to around six inches deep and follow it with a tablespoon of compost. Plain soil should be covered over mixture before creating a mound where the plant would be placed. Fill the hole with plain soil around three times.
Three: feeding roses would depend on its type and season. Early spring when the buds begin to swell is the signal for initial feeding which is done by clearing away the mulch then working the plant food into the soil surrounding the plant. Immediately after the first bloom comes the time for the secondary feeding while tertiary feeding is done in the late season of summer.
Four: During peak summer periods, roses require all the watering if rainfall becomes insufficient. Take note that in watering roses, the soil should be soaked reaching a depth of eight inches.
Five: Preventing pests and diseases that plague roses is effortless. Simply dust weekly or every ten days. Follow it up with chemicals that fight against fungus, sucking and chewing insects.
Six: Prune roses done during early spring just when leaf buds start swelling. Seven: If summer affects roses, winter does too. The solution is simple: mulching the surrounding soil with peat moss or straw helps regulate the temperature of soil plus tempers effects of thawing and freezing.
Those are just the basic steps on how to care for roses which is quite easy to do on your own. No more hefty bills on hiring a florist or gardener to do your rose planting for you. Simply follow through with these seven basic steps and in no time you'll have a flourishing garden of your own right in your yard, pergola or verandah.
Keep in mind that the key on how to care for roses all depends on two factors: the type of rose you plant and the type of season it grows in. Growing roses isn't rocket science nor is it chicken feed. It takes practice and skill in cultivating the soil, cutting of roots, feeding and watering the plant just like any other flower that grows in a flourishing backyard.

The Grauleitenspitze, 2893 meters high, the name meaning "Peak of the grey slope", is located on the main ridge of the Hohe Tauern, right on the border between the two Austrian federal states of Salzburg and Carinthia, and is a neighboring peak of Ankogel (3246m), which rises just 2 kilometers further east. This peak is one that can even be done as a family hike with children, as there's an easy trail all the way up a very wide and only moderately steep slope and it's a mere 243 meters (797 feet) height difference between the top station of the Ankogelbahnen cable-car on 2650 meters and the summit. This is also the outset for the normal way up Ankogel from the south west (see also Vid Pogačnik's route page), The time needed for the trail to Grauleitenspitze lies somewhere between 45 minutes and an hour, if you take it calmly. Nevertheless, also this summit is a great spot – spectacular views to the mountains of Carinthia and East Tyrol to the south, the Glockner Group to the west, the Gastein mountains to the north and Ankogel and Hochalmspitze to the east. A very princely "consolation prize" for those who don't have the time or energy to go up Ankogel and back down, but who would nevertheless like to be "on top"…Getting There
The base for this hike is Mallnitz in Carinthia.Nearest airports: Munich, Salzburg, Klagenfurt
Coming by car from Munich and Salzburg: From Munich Airport, get on the motorway and follow the signs to Salzburg. Follow the A8 motorway in the direction of Salzburg until just shortly after crossing the Austrian border (From Salzburg Airport it's only a couple of kilometers to this point). Here, switch to the A10 (Tauernautobahn) in the direction of Villach/Klagenfurt. Follow the A10 all the way to the turn-off just shortly before Spittal an der Drau in Carinthia. Here, switch to the B100, following the signs to Lienz as far as Lurnfeld. Turn right, follow the B106 to Obervellach, then the B105 to Mallnitz.
Distance between Munich Airport and Mallnitz: 347.7 km (216 miles); duration: 3 hours 21 minutes.
Distance between Salzburg Airport and Mallnitz: 178.1 km (111 miles); duration: 1 hour 47 minutes.
Coming by car from Klagenfurt: Take the A2 motorway to Villach. Here, switch to the A10 in the direction of Salzburg/Munich and follow it as far as the mentioned turn-off to the B100 in the direction of Lienz, just after Spittal an der Drau. From here, proceed as described above.
Coming by means of public transportation: All fast trains (there's one every two hours in both directions) between Salzburg and Klagenfurt stop in Mallnitz-Obervellach. Very often there are even direct trains from Munich. From the train station of Mallnitz there are post-buses for the remaining five kilometers to the bottom station of the Ankogelbahnen cable-car.
The Ankogelbahnen operate during the summer period daily except for Mondays and Tuesdays every half hour between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. For information, call up +43 4785 8110.
The way to the summit
There are, naturally, many ways of combining Grauleitenspitze with far longer hikes, like for instance the spectacular Göttinger Weg, an Alta Via of about 12 kilometers length leading from Hagener hut on Mallnitzer Tauern via Mindener hut to Hannover hut and continuing for another 5 kilometers as Goslarer Weg to the self-catering Celler hut. As the Grauleitenspitze is in the direct vicinity of the Hannover hut, it's one that can be "taken along" on this route. But, as there is the cable-car right up to 2650 meters, a mere 79 meters below Hannover hut which is perched on the summit of Arnoldshöhe and thus already on the ridge, Grauleitenspitze can easily be done as a rewarding half-day activity. A nice idea would also be to reserve a night at the Hannover hut and thus have the possibility of witnessing a sunset and also a sunrise on this so near-by summit.From the top station of the Ankogelbahnen, follow the trail that leads through some scree to the col below Arnoldshöhe (where the Hannover hut stands), on the right-hand side of Arnoldshöhe. Turn right and follow the trail leading easily and only moderately steeply over the wide grass-and-scree slope with an ever-increasing view to the west right up to the summit, which is marked with two cairns.
The mileage of this is only little over a kilometer, and can be done in 45 minutes.
If you start from the Hannover hut, follow the short, steep and slightly exposed trail down to the col between the hut and Grauleitenspitze, and proceed as above (with children, it might be better to first descend to the cable-car station and rise from there to the Grauleitenspitze).
Good mountain shoes, wind and rain protection. Especially wind protection, as oftentimes the wind is quite strong on the wide and open western slope.Huts
Hannover hut, 2729m. Open from beginning of July until end of September, according to the operational period of the Ankogelbahnen cable-car. Hut warden: Christa Siekiera, Mölltalstrasse 8d, A-9813 Möllbrücke. Telephone: hut number: +43 664 1619367; valley number: +43 4769 3211.35 bunks or beds in smaller rooms

Horse artillery
Horse artillery was a type of light, fast-moving, and fast-firing artillery which provided highly mobile fire support, especially to cavalry units. Horse artillery units existed in armies in Europe, the Americas, and some Asian countries, from the 17th to the early 20th century. A precursor of modern self-propelled artillery, it consisted of light cannons or howitzers attached to light but sturdy two-wheeled carriages called caissons or limbers, with the individual crewmen riding on horses. This was in contrast to the rest of the field artillery, in which the pieces were heavier and the crew marched on foot, or in some cases rode on the guns or caissons.
Once in position, horse artillery crews were trained to quickly dismount, deploy or unlimber their guns (detach them from their caissons), then rapidly fire grapeshot, shells or round shot at the enemy. They could then just as rapidly limber-up (reattach the guns to the caissons), remount, and be ready to move to a new position, similar to the shoot-and-scoot tactics of their modern counterparts.
Horse artillery was highly versatile and often supported friendly cavalry units by disrupting enemy infantry formations such as infantry squares with rapid concentrated fire. This would leave the enemy infantry vulnerable to cavalry charges. Their mobility also enabled them to outmaneuver enemy foot artillery units, and to act as a rearguard (in concert with friendly cavalry) to cover the retreat of slower units. A full battery could have a combined front of riders over 50 men strong. If the horse artillery was mistaken for cavalry, the enemy might receive an unpleasant surprise when the towed batteries wheeled around, unlimbered, loaded, sighted and opened fire. Highly proficient batteries could do so in less than a minute.
Essentially a hybrid of cavalry and artillery, irregular horse artillery units were first used by Sweden in the 17th century during the Thirty Years' War by Lennart Torstenson. Torstenson was the artillery expert of Gustavus Adolphus, and used them to provide cavalry with the fire support it needed to deal with massed infantry formations without sacrificing their speed and mobility. Gustavus Adolphus had previously tried intermixing infantry units with cavalry, and this was somewhat successful since the cavalry at that time did not charge the enemy at full gallop.
Others tried to combine firepower with mobility by using novel cavalry tactics such as the caracole, but these slowed the cavalry down and proved largely ineffective. The best solutions involved creating hybrid units of mounted infantry, most notably dragoons. Although they proved highly useful and versatile troops, whether they fired mounted or dismounted, they still had to slow down or stop at least temporarily, thereby losing their main advantages as cavalry.
In the early 18th century the Russian army began equipping cavalry formations with small units of light horse artillery equipped with 2-pound cannons, and portable 3-pound mortars which were transported on horseback (the weights refer to the size of the projectiles, not the artillery pieces.) Though not decisive by themselves, these units inflicted losses on Prussian troops and influenced Frederick the Great to form the first regular horse artillery unit in 1759.
18th century modernization[edit]
Frederick understood that the greatest threat to massed infantry was concentrated artillery fire. He realized that even small and relatively light guns could severely disrupt or destroy infantry units if they could be brought in close enough and fire often enough. But since even light foot artillery travelled at the speed of a marching soldier, the solution was to make every artilleryman a part-time horseman. Through relentless drill and discipline Frederick emphasized mobility and speed in all phases of their operations. The unit consisted of a battery of six 6-pound cannons with 48 men, including 3 officers. The battery was wiped out and reformed twice in that same year at the Battle of Kunersdorf and the Battle of Maxen. Despite the setbacks, the new arm had proved so successful that it was quickly reorganized and by the start of the French Revolutionary Wars in 1792 consisted of three companies of 605 men, with batteries consisting of eight 6-pound guns and one 7-pound mortar each.
French artilleryman, engineer and general Jean-Baptiste de Gribeauval had served with the military mission to Prussia,[1] as well as fighting against Frederick in the Seven Years' War. After that war he made numerous technical improvements to French cannons which made them lighter, faster and much easier to aim. These improvements proved a great advantage to horse artillery as well. Later, the British army officer Henry Shrapnel invented a deadly new type of ammunition that was put to effective use by horse artillery units.
The popularity of the new type of unit caught on quickly with other armies. Austria organized a limited amount of "cavalry artillery" in 1778 where most of the gun crew rode specially designed, padded gun carriages called Wursts ("sausages"), rather than on separate horses, into battle. Hanover formed its first cavalry batteries in 1786 and the Hanoverian general Victor von Trew performed several trials in 1791 which proved the great speed and efficiency by which an all-mounted crew could operate. At this time the Denmark had also formed mounted artillery units and by 1792 Sweden had formed its first regular riding batteries,[2] followed by Great Britain in 1793, Russia in 1794 and Portugal in 1796.
19th century zenith[edit]
During the Napoleonic Wars, horse artillery would be used extensively and effectively in every major battle and campaign. The largest and probably most efficient horse artillery of any nation was that of the French revolutionary army which was first formed in 1792. The French units were especially well-trained and disciplined since the newly formed arm had proved very popular and could draw on a considerable number of recruits. By 1795 it had grown to eight regiments of six six-gun batteries each, making it the largest horse artillery force ever assembled.[3]
Horse artillery units generally used lighter pieces (6-pounders), pulled by six horses. 9-pounders were pulled by eight horses, and heavier artillery pieces (12-pounders) needed a team of twelve horses. With the individual riding horses required for officers, surgeons and other support staff, as well as those pulling the artillery guns and supply wagons, an artillery battery of six guns could require 160 to 200 horses.[4] Horse artillery usually came under the command of cavalry divisions, but in some battles, such as Waterloo, horse artillery was used as a rapid response force, repulsing attacks and assisting the infantry.[5] Agility was important; the ideal artillery horse was around 15-16 hands high (150-160 cm, 60 to 64 inches), strongly built, but able to move quickly.[6]
In the Mexican-American War, the U.S. Army horse artillery, or "flying artillery" played a decisive role in several key battles. In the American Civil War, various elements of the horse artillery of the Army of the Potomac were at times grouped together in the U.S. Horse Artillery Brigade. In the U.S., units of horse artillery were generally referred to officially as "light artillery".[7]
During the 19th and early 20th century, European-style horse artillery was used in South American countries such as Chile and Peru, quite prominently during the War of the Pacific.[8][9]
Modern decline[edit]
As technology advanced and the firepower of infantry and foot artillery increased, the role of cavalry, and thus the horse artillery, began to decline. It continued to be used and improved into the early 20th century, seeing action during and in between both world wars. In World War I, Russia and some other countries equipped the artillery batteries of their cavalry divisions with the same field gun used by other units. France and the United Kingdom, however, used specialist horse guns (the Canon de 75 modèle 1912 Schneider and the Ordnance QF 13 pounder, respectively.)[10]
Subsequently, the cavalry and horse artillery units rearmed with tanks and self-propelled artillery. As with the cavalry, though, certain artillery units, for instance the Royal Horse Artillery, retain their old designations. Horse artillery was last used in a few units in World War II, including the Wehrmacht's cavalry divisions on the Eastern Front,[11] and the Imperial Japanese Army in Malaya.[12] A form of riding artillery using heavy machine guns called tachankas were used by the Poles and Russians in World War I, the Russian Civil War, and the German Invasion of Poland. In the United Kingdom, the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery retains six traditional teams of six horses each and 13-pounder guns for ceremonial duties to this day.[13]

Survey Data
The collection and review of relevant data helps us to understand the scope of issues and challenges that need to be reviewed, prioritized and addressed. It is important, when possible, to review and compare information collected on campus with information collected from larger populations. The Health Promotion Office will periodically posts results from campus surveys and results of local, state and national surveys.
NMU students were surveyed from 2003-2004 as part of a national research study. This data does not break-down the responses by gender. The university is scheduled to conduct another substance abuse survey in October of 2007. While the data below addresses levels of high rates of drinking, it should be pointed out that the same surveys identified levels of non-current use (no alcohol consumption in the previous 30 days) ranging from 25-28%. To put that number into perspective, that means that despite the hype, perception, rumor and urban legend, at any given time on our campus there are approximately 2,000-2,500 students who have not had an alcoholic drink in the past month.
Binge Drinking
Binge drinking is defined as consuming four or more drinks in a single sitting. The five-year longitudinal study at NMU reflects the national trend in the increase of binge drinking by college students.
Year | Students consuming 5 drinks at a sitting | Students consuming 4 drinks at a sitting |
2000 | 43.89% | 54.63% |
2001 | 44.00% | 51.80% |
2002 | 48.90% | 53.20% |
2003 | 47.10% | 51.70% |
2004 | 48.40% | 51.20% |
There was an absolute increase in binge (5 or more drinks at a sitting) drinkers of 4.69% from 2000 until 2004 and there was an absolute decrease in binge (4 or more drinks at a sitting) drinkers from 2000 until 2004 of 3.43%.

A more cynical fellow would view the following news and probably thank the NCAA for absolving us from spending five days in Trenton. But then, it's the NCAA: forever wrong, but always confident.
It's a week removed now from the NCAA's decision to relocate all of its championship events from New Jersey because of Gov. Chris Christie's proposed sports-wagering bill. Christie's bill would allow patrons to bet on sporting events in Atlantic City, among other state venues. The NCAA's sports wagering policy prohibits "the conducting of any championship session in a state with legal wagering that is based on single-game betting," otherwise known as wagering that involves point spreads or money line bets.
Hence, the Sun National Bank Center, Trenton's downtown arena, has lost the 2013 women's basketball regionals. There's a good chance the UConn women would have played there.
"Maintaining the integrity of sports and protecting student-athlete well-being are at the bedrock of the NCAA's mission, and are reflected in our policies prohibiting the hosting of our championships in states that provide for single game sports wagering," said Mark Lewis, the NCAA's executive vice president of championships and alliances, in a statement.
"Consistent with our policies and beliefs, the law in New Jersey requires that we no longer host championships in the state � (so that) student-athletes can have the best possible competitive experience."
Once again, the NCAA, extending a premise to the point of absurdity, has allowed perception to stage a coup d'�tat on common sense.
The NCAA has also decided to relocate championships for Division I swimming and diving (Piscataway), Division III men's volleyball (Hoboken), Division II women's lacrosse (Montclair) and Division III women's lacrosse (Montclair).
Read that again: Division I swimming and diving, Division III men's volleyball, Division II women's lacrosse and Division III women's lacrosse.
Have you ever known anybody to bet on Division I swimming and diving, Division III men's volleyball, Division II women's lacrosse and Division III women's lacrosse?
How would you even do so?
What, the NCAA is afraid of point shaving at a swim meet? And how does one point shave at a swim meet?
Have Henry Hill make some kid drown on purpose?
I can't stand it.
Let me just say that in the old days (the good old days) I used to bet on pro football, college football, baseball, college basketball and pro basketball. Not just (cough, cough) in Vegas, either. I can't imagine the reaction from the wiseguys had I called and said, "Gimme a 10-team parlay with Villanova swimming and Conn College lacrosse."
I mean, how stupid are these people, exactly?
"The NCAA wants to penalize New Jersey for legalizing what occurs illegally every day in every state and often with the participation of organized crime," Michael Drewniak, a spokesman for Gov. Christie, said in published reports. "But the NCAA looks the other way for that? Ludicrous and hypocritical."
And also shortsighted. If the NCAA is so convinced that a proposed gambling bill would tear at the foundation of its championship events, just ask that the games get taken off the board. As in: You can't bet on them. It used to work that way in Vegas for all UNLV games. Of course, you've got a better story if Division I swimming and diving, Division III men's volleyball, Division II women's lacrosse and Division III women's lacrosse ever made the board in the first place.
Somehow, the masses will forge on if they can't take Coast Guard volleyball as a three-dig favorite over Anna Maria.
But now the NCAA, in its ever noble quest to have perception trump reality, now must find venues outside of New Jersey.
Someone should have gotten to presidential debate moderators Jim Lehrer, Candy Crowley and Bob Schieffer and begged them to make the NCAA a debate topic. Just think of all the undecided sports fan votes out there just waiting for the right answer: blow it up and start over.
This is the opinion of Day sports columnist Mike DiMauro.

Environmental News: Media Center
Washington (August 6, 2009) –The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), one of the nation's largest and most influential environmental organizations, is calling upon its 1.2 million members and activists to support Tennessee's tourism industry in response to a recent boycott targeting the state by the coal industry. NRDC is urging all members and activists to visit Tennessee.
The coal industry launched a boycott of Tennessee tourism following the introduction of the Appalachia Restoration Act by U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN). The bill would effectively ban mountaintop removal coal mining which is the most destructive form of mining. The coal industry has taken aim at Tennessee's tourism industry by asking miners to cancel vacations to some of the state's most visited attractions, including the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Dollywood, an enterprise of Tennessee native Dolly Parton.
"We are now calling on our members to stand up to the bullying tactics of the coal industry and to support Tennessee's economy," said Frances Beinecke, President of Natural Resources Defense Council. "On behalf of NRDC, and our 1.2 million members and activists, we commend Senator Lamar Alexander for his leadership and we will continue to support his home state and its irreplaceable natural resources."
NRDC is encouraging its supporters to contact Tennessee chambers of commerce, visit the state's myriad tourist destinations and support Tennessee's economy. NRDC aims to offset the coal boycott by asking supporters, including more than 100,000 members in the southeast, to visit Tennessee.
"We're certain that all of NRDC's members recognize that the Appalachian Mountains are a diverse, ecological biogem with remarkable wildlife and natural resources that must be protected from destructive mountaintop coal mining," added Beinecke. "There is clearly a direct connection between the health of Tennessee's mountains and the health of its tourism industry and economy. These natural resources are the backbone of economic growth in the state."
NRDC action alerts are effective tools that have inspired more than 10 million people to take action on various environmental issues around the world. NRDC is encouraging its members to visit Tennessee's Department of Tourism website at www.tnvacation.com to book trips to the Volunteer State.

News in Brief
Cybersecurity concerns are shaping global defense spending as nation-states shift from an emphasis on counterterrorism to protecting their information networks, Deloitte said in its 2014 Global Defense Outlook.
"Early 21st-century force structure, with its emphasis on counterinsurgency and counterterrorism, is giving way to new structures built around multi-usage and mobility, as well as concepts of operations related to information networks," the report states.
Governments are "adapting to these new [cyber] threats by applying defense and intelligence resources, as well as by forming new command structures and military services to operate in the new domain of cyberspace," the report concludes. "Resources once devoted to tanks and battleships are now required to develop network security and offensive cyber techniques."
Although the largest percentage of cyberattacks in 2013 were aimed at rich countries that are higher defense spenders, more than 20 percent were directed at countries outside the top 50 in defense spending, the report states, citing public data.
An executive branch panel of lawyers unanimously affirmed a federal electronic surveillance program as lawful and largely respectful of personal privacy.
The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board examined Section 702 of the 2008 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Amendments Act, which allows the attorney general and the director of national intelligence to authorize surveillance of foreigners outside the United States. The board's report, released on July 1, found the program to be well-supervised and well-intentioned.
"The operation of the Section 702 program has been subject to judicial oversight and extensive internal supervision, and the board has found no indication of intentional abuse," said David Medine, the board's chairman, in unveiling the report. "Outside of this fundamental core, certain aspects of the Section 702 program do raise privacy concerns and push the program close to the line of constitutional reasonableness."
Some of the privacy concerns flagged by the board are incidental collection of Americans' communications and the government's ability to query such information. The report recommends, among other things, that the National Security Agency specify its criteria for determining the expected intelligence value of a surveillance target.
If implemented, all the recommendations would "strike a better balance between privacy and civil liberties and national security," Medine said.
Leidos has selected Roger Krone to be its CEO. Krone, who is currently president of network and space systems at Boeing, will succeed Leidos CEO John Jumper on July 14. Jumper has led Leidos since March 2012 and announced his retirement in February of this year.
One of Krone's projects at Boeing was a controversial electronic surveillance system along the U.S./Mexico border, which he defended during a 2010 congressional hearing as beneficial to border security.
Leidos split from SAIC last year to form what is now a 22,000-person firm that focuses on national security, health, and engineering products and services.

Shooting from the hip : Pakistan and the U.S. election season
It's rarely a nice thing for a foreign country to figure high in a U.S. presidential election campaign. If it is China, it is more likely to be about currency and trade disputes with Beijing, and how each of the candidates was going to tackle it than any bouquets. Or if it is Iran, you can be sure there would be some shooting from the hip as each candidate seeks to outbid the other in trying to convince voters he or she means business with the perceived threat from that country's nuclear programme.
And so if you were a Pakistani, last weekend's Republican presidential debate would be just as worrisome even though you know this is election season and candidates are given to competitive sabre rattling. The country was mentioned 55 times in the debate in South Carolina, notes Sadanand Dhume in a piece on The Enterprise blog. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, the leading candidate, said Pakistan was nearly a failed state with multiple centres of power including a weak civilian leadership and a powerful military.
India-Afghan strategic pact:the beginnings of regional integration
A strategic partnership agreement between India and Afghanistan would ordinarily have evoked howls of protest from Pakistan which has long regarded its western neighbour as part of its sphere of influence. Islamabad has, in the past, made no secret of its displeasure at India's role in Afghanistan including a$2 billion aid effort that has won it goodwill among the Afghan people, but which Pakistan sees as New Delhi's way to expand influence.
Instead the reaction to the pact signed last month during President Hamid Karzai's visit to New Delhi, the first Kabul had done with any country, was decidedly muted. Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani said India and Afghanistan were "both sovereign countries and they have the right to do whatever they want to." The Pakistani foreign office echoed Gilani's comments, adding only that regional stability should be preserved. It cried off further comment, saying it was studying the pact.
Analysis: With an eye on 2014, India steps up Afghan role
SINGAPORE (Reuters) – India plans to train Afghan army combat units at top counter-insurgency schools, officials say, deepening its commitment to Afghanistan as Western forces prepare to withdraw, a move that will fan Pakistani fears of encirclement.
India may also provide light weapons to the Afghan army and train pilots and ground staff for Afghanistan's small air force under a strategic partnership agreement signed last month.

The Taliban in Afghanistan's once impregnable Panjshir Valley
Last month driving up Afghanistan's magnificent Panjshir valley, you couldn't help thinking if the resurgent Taliban would ever be able to break its defences, both natural and from the Tajik-dominated populace. With its jagged cliffs and plunging valleys, Panjshir has been largely out of bounds for the Taliban, whether during the civil war or in the past 10 years when it has expanded a deadly insurgency against western and Afghan forces across the country. But on Saturday, the insurgents struck, carrying out a suicide bombing at a provincial reconstruction team base housing U.S. and Afghan troops and officials.
They were halted outside the base, but according to the provincial deputy governor they succeeded in killing two civilians and wounding two guards when they detonated their explosives. The Taliban claimed responsibility, saying the first suicide bombing in a decade was a message to Western forces that they were not secure anywhere in the country. They said the bombers came from within Panjshir, which if true would worry people even more because that would suggest the penetration was deeper and there could be more attacks.
Pakistan and Afghanistan, spoiling for a full-blown fight ?
With a series of spectacular attacks over the past few months, first in the provinces and then in the Afghan capital Kabul, the Talban have captured attention and even prompted comparisons with the Viet Cong's Tet offensive. But they are not the only ones attacking Afghanistan, according to The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). It lists a series of attacks from early this year to build the case that Pakistan has joined the Taliban in what it called a "military invasion of Afghanistan", driving another nail in the faltering U.S. effort in the country.
Beginning from the February bombardment of Afghan border police posts in Nangarhar and Khost provinces in eastern Afghanistan by Pakistani planes to the firing of hundreds of rockets last month in Kunar and Nuristan, Pakistani forces have stepped up cross border action, MEMRI said in a report. It quoted Afghan officials as saying the artillery and missile strikes backed by air intrusions were an "act of intrusion."
In the U.S.-Pakistan fight, India an anxious spectator
Pakistan and the United States are in the middle of such a public and bruising fight that Islamabad's other pet hate, India, has receded into the background. A Pakistani banker friend, only half in jest, said his country had bigger fish to fry than to worry about India, now that it had locked horns with the superpower.
But more seriously, India itself has kept a low profile, resisting the temptation to twist the knife deeper into its neighbour when it faces the risk of isolation. Much of what Pakistan stands accused of, including the main charge of using violent extremism as an instrument of foreign policy, is an echo of what New Delhi has been blaming Pakistan for, for two decades now. Even the language that America's military officials led by Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, and diplomats have employed such as "proxy wars" , "cross border raids" or terrorism central to describe Pakistan is a throwback to the 1990s and later when India and Pakistan were dueling over Kashmir.
Piece by piece, Afghanistan reclaims its history
KABUL (Reuters) – While everyone else is worrying about Afghanistan's future, a dedicated band of men and women is gathering up its past, hoping that a growing museum collection will show the world Afghan culture is more sophisticated than the tide of news reports suggest.
Kabul's rebuilt National Museum, near the haunting remains the bombed-out royal palace, is running out of secure rooms to house centuries-old Buddhas, gold and silver coins from antiquity and other rare artifacts.
NATO forces cast Afghan night raid net too wide – report
KABUL (Reuters) – Foreign forces fighting in Afghanistan have become more accurate in night-time raids on homes, but they have stepped up the number and scope of the controversial operations so they affect more Afghan civilians, a report said on Monday.
NATO-led troops improved the way they select targets, and say they now get their objective in four out of five mission, but also widened the pool of people they pursue, the report by the Open Society Foundations and The Liaison Office said.

Career highlights and awards
Terrmel Sledge (born March 18, 1977 in Fayetteville, North Carolina) is an American professional baseball outfielder. Sledge's career began in 2004 with the Montreal Expos. He moved with the team to Washington, D.C. the following season as the Expos relocated to the American capital, and hit the first-ever home run for the Washington Nationals. He was traded to the Texas Rangers along with fellow outfielder Brad Wilkerson for second baseman Alfonso Soriano on December 7, 2005. He was then traded to the San Diego Padres in a six-player deal on December 20.
His best season came in 2004, when he batted .269/.336/.462 with 15 home runs and 62 runs batted in.
Sledge prepped at John F. Kennedy High School in Granada Hills, California and graduated from Cal State Long Beach in 1999.
Sledge is half Korean and half African American; his mother was Korean and his father was black. According to his father, his name is a combination of Terrence and Melvin, two names his parents had considered naming him when he was born.
In January 2003, Sledge was the first position player suspended for violating Major League Baseball's enhanced steroids policy, enacted after accusations that steroid use was rampant in baseball in the 90s and early 2000s. He tested positive for traces of 19-norandrosterone and 19-noretiocholanolone, chemical derivatives related to androstenedione.[1]
On November 29, 2007, Terrmel was granted permission from the Padres to sign with the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters of the Nippon Professional League.
On December 17, Terrmel signed a contract with Yokohama BayStars for the 2010 season.

Hello All,
I purchased a set of black OEM running boards 2 days ago. These are for a double cab. After two days of use, I decided I don't like em anymore. They are pretty much brand new. Been on my truck for about 50 miles.
$240 local pickup, I paid $290.
