Effective date: This interim final rule is effective on December 26, 2014. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of December 26, 2014. Implementation dates: For grants authorized under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, this rule is applicable for emergency or major disaster declarations issued on or after December 26, 2014. For non-Federal entities that are nonprofit organizations or institutions of higher education (IHEs), there is a one-year grace period for implementation of the procurement standards in 2 CFR 200.317 through 200.326. As will be detailed in the 2015 OMB Compliance Supplement, non-Federal entities choosing to delay implementation for the procurement standards will need to specify in their documented policies and procedures that they continue to comply with OMB circular A-110 for one additional fiscal year which begins after December 26, 2014. Comment date: To be assured of consideration, comments must be received by OMB electronically through www.regulations.gov no later than midnight Eastern Standard Time (E.S.T.) on February 17, 2015. 2 CFR Parts 1, 25, 170, 180, and 200 This joint interim final rule implements for all Federal award-making agencies the final guidance Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) published by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on December 26, 2013. This rule is necessary in order to incorporate into regulation and thus bring into effect the Uniform Guidance as required by OMB. Implementation of this guidance will reduce administrative burden and risk of waste, fraud, and abuse for the approximately $600 billion per year awarded in Federal financial assistance. The result will be more Federal dollars reprogrammed to support the mission, new entities able to compete and win awards, and ultimately a stronger framework to provide key services to American citizens and support the basic research that underpins the United States economy.

We promise not to mentor you, we don't have a Treasury. We have forums that are barely used. We're a Dive Bar. Eventually we won't be gay anymore and we'll change our name back to Nos Dive Bar, but Slosh is passed out so for now we're gay. We don't mind, it gets us drink discounts on Wednesdays.
You can be gay or not, just so long as you clean up your own puke, for the most part. Good looking lesbians who sign up in pairs and let us watch sometimes get the table next to the kitchen, which everyone knows is the best table in the house.
We stand for ladies, bathroom lines and 2-for-one sea food buffets. And we believe that the Sea Cow is a sacred creature who will take all of the chosen one's into his realm to share eternal bliss and endless sea food buffets when we die, if we have been faithful servants of his Holy Cowness.
Eternal Sea Cowist Paradise
We will be buried in the warm waters of the deep blue South Pacific, as all good and faithful Sea Cowists are.
We believe in playing eRepublik just as a Sea Cow would.
Besides that, we mainly do mischievous and despicable things only people who are truly gay and/or often drunk can do.

I had A LOT of junk when I went folder diving.
These particular bits brought back memories from my trial software of a 3D app. With the help of NG ads I would hope to purchase it sometime to advance my evil ways.
With luck this may inspire some to pick up a trial flash and create something awesome
Fun Fact:
(Everything that's not commentary is 100% recycled from 2007 or earlier)
Rated 3 / 5 stars
awesome 3d effort
All your comps look really spiffy, but it seems like it's unfinished :)
It would have been cool if you had woven some sort of goofy storyline or dialogue into this, but I realize that's not the point. I like the idea of mashing all your unused clips into a story. If you had titled this "Osprey n' Serenity" you'd be on the front page right now.
If I had titled this "Osprey n' Serenity" I would have attracted the wrong audiences and had thoroughly disappointed them. Besides, if this did made front page with those REAL animations, mer gerd, bad things would have went down.
Narration is a good idea but the clips are few and short with too much to explain. I would probably sound in love with myself incidentally as well, talking about my amateur animation this this and this. No one cares. We want results.
Thanks for your word.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Three d efx!
You pass this off as a fake teaser tralier and call it a a prop and animation collection.
This will cause confusion to the more mentally challaged not that I know anyone like that ho ho! Something always tells me if you make something of something you use in the thing you were going to post, it becomes more liked than the oringinal. And if you can't understand me you don't have the skills of a proper author!
This isn't really a teaser trailer of any sort, in fact, they're simple artifacts from the days of my 3D binge. A showcase of short projects on my development. If you're referring to the Firefly test specifically: it was supposed to be an introduction to a comic series that I realized as I was making it I should put my efforts into an original creation. The intro that followed was that creation, only my 3D app expired and I saw the fallacy of my ways. (gave me more time to develop a better story anyway)
And I know what you mean about people falling in love with 'previews' and disappointed as all hell with the results. I've seen it, kinda sad.
Thanks for your review/crit and your controversial score
Rated 3 / 5 stars
nice 3d rendering, but altogether pointless, I can give you a six though, because your 3d really is quite good
"Pointless" I'll have to partially agree. I would like to add this is kind of showing the props and rigs behind those animations- A "behind the scenes" for those interested in 3D animation or wondering how a scene could have been built.
Thanks for your review, always appreciated.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I've always thought about doing something similar and releasing a bunch of unfinished flash. Your designs are amazing and I like the play screen. Nice.
Apparently the idea is not being well received :P
I appreciate your response, thanks.

Telegram - Wheatstone, 1924 Reg. No: HT 4483
- Summary:
- Wheatstone Telegram with message displayed in a version of morse code on strips of paper tape pasted on to a backing sheet.
The main text of the decoded message reads: "Changing address Saturday writing love"
In the Wheatstone telegraph system, an operator used a perforator to encode the message to be transmitted as a sequence of holes punched in paper tape. The tape was fed into a transmitter which converted the pattern of punched holes into a sequence of long and short pulses of electric current which were sent along the telegraph line to the receiving station. The receiver converted the pulses into a succession of short and long marks on a strip of paper tape. The tape was cut into suitable lengths and pasted on to a backing sheet for record purposes. A copy of the decoded message was provided to the recipient of the telegram.
The version of the morse code used in this telegram was the Universal Telegraph Code, adopted by all the Australain Colonies on 1st August 1897. - Description:
- Single leaf of brown paper. Five lengths of white paper tape carrying code markings pasted on to brown paper.
- Acquisition Information:
- Donation from Mr Brian O'Shaunassey, 2003
Discipline: | Technology |
Dimensions: | 21.1 cm (Width), 34.4 cm (Length) |

Ford Q&A
Ask Your Question1995 Ford Ranger Question: engine wont warm up so heater wont heat cab
Answer #1
backyard tech December 29, 2010, 15:36MasterDid you put a thermostat rated at 195 degrees. I will bet your check engine light is on also. That's if someone hasn't pulled the bulb. I know what I'm talking about. I just worked on the same like truck. It had a code for low engine temp and it had no thermostat and no bulb in the cluster for the check engine light.

backyard tech, December 29, 2010, 20:40MasterAnd your point is? Does the check engine light do a bulb check when you trun the key on. If so is your check engine light on? How do you know that the engine isn't at operating temp? contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Answer #2
DaveJHM December 30, 2010, 01:16MasterYou may want to check to see if the cooling fan is staying on constantly. It is possible that the engine is getting too much cooling.
Conversely, you could also have an air pocket in your cooling system that has not yet been purged. This is common after replacing a thermostat or radiator. Once you purge the air, you may have the heat you are seeking. Good luck.

jerryz54, December 30, 2010, 14:38Rookiei dont know anything about purgeing the air in the cooling system and maybe the shop i took it to doesnt either how do you do it purge the air i will call them and ask them if they did it if you can tell me how to do it thank you so much i will follow through on any idea you can come up with.again thanks
Flag This -
DaveJHM, December 31, 2010, 00:13MasterBasically, purging the air is allowing the coolant to circulate. Then the air pocket eventually comes to the top, you "burp" the cap on the reservoir and the air comes out, along with a bit of hot coolant (so use EXTREME caution not to burn yourself...). Fill the coolant level again, tighten the cap, run it longer, do the same thing...lets all the air out. Good luck...

Answer #3
PRESTONFITZ from Honest 1 Auto Care, December 30, 2010, 09:55TechnicianDon't these trucks have clutch fans, not electric cooling fans? Either way, checking the fan operation is a good start, and simple. Like Dave said, make sure the fan isn't operating with excessive airflow, whether it does have electric fans and they are constantly running, or the viscous clutch is seized up on a clutch fan. With a clutch fan, you should be able to, WITH THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING, NOT RUNNING, ENGINE OFF, move the fan blades by hand. if you can't turn the fan by hand, the you have a seized up clutch, and that would be a good place to start.
Is the engine really not warming up, or is this situation simply perceived? Is it possible that you have a faulty coolant temperature sending unit or gauge in the instrument cluster, and the lack of heat in the cab is a seperate situation? Having the ability to use an OBDI scan tool would definitely help settle that dispute, because you should be able to read the Engine Control Module's sensed coolant temperature. The sensor for the ECM is separate from the unit that controls the gauge on the dash.
More information on what is exactly going on would help, how many miles are on this vehicle? Why was the radiator replaced? When you removed the original radiator, was it really heavy, like there was a lot of sediment built up within it? Hope we get you going in the right direction, keep us posted.Flag ThisLike0 -
jerryz54, December 30, 2010, 14:29Rookiethe shop i took it to said they ran the engine with there computer readout apparatus reading the info to them and the hottest they could get it to go was something like 130 degrees the fan is working fine the heater is not clogged they pretty much checked everything its richeys tire factory on mill plaine blvd in vancouver they put a new sensor on the thermostat housing.i took it in because the thermostat was stuck closed and it heated up i put water in it and drove it to there shop told them the symptoms and they put a new radiator in and it still had the same problems so they changed out the thermostat and when i picked it up the heater worked i pulled out to there parking lot shut it off for a minute and started it back up and it quit working that fast.they worked on it 2 more times trying to figure it out and they say they went through everything and they cant figure it out.I'm feeling awfully cheated.i drove to work today in 30 degrees with no heat when it started out kind of a minor thing you know the thermostat.i paid them 415 dollars and its worse than it was can you help with this info thank you oh yeah the mechanic said he even pinched off the top radiator hose and that didnt even help to heat it up.its running fine aside from running cold it wont even reach the minimum line on the gauge it is running that cold ok guys we fixed the problem it was the water heater it was pumping enough water to keep the engine cold but not enough water to go through the heater all the teeth on the water pump were worn off but one and it was bent backwards and thats the reason it was able to pump at all hey guys thanks for your help and if i could buy you a drink i would but hey happy new year to you and keep the attitude you have its good to help each other thanks again see ya

PRESTONFITZ, December 30, 2010, 23:45TechnicianI don't mean to rain on your parade or anything, but from what I'm reading about the "fix", it doesn't make much sense. Firstly, I am in NO WAY saying that the guys over at Richeys tire factory are in any way wrong, you appear to have initially had an overheating problem and was low on coolant. This situation appears to have been rectified by them, but another problem appeared afterwards, it happens all the time, and was probably unforseeable until the obvious defects were repaired. The issue I'm having understanding here is you say there was a problem with the "water heater", did you mean water pump? If so, then you should most likely still have had an OVERheating problem, not an UNDERheating problem. 1 fin left on a water pump should not have been able to sufficiently circulate the coolant through the engine, radiator, heater core, just about everything. No coolant flow = no transfer of heat to the atmoshphere by way of the radiator, does this make sense? Just to repeat myself, I'm not saying those guys were wrong, and it seems like they didn't charge you again or I would imagine you would have stated that. I just want to completely and fully understand exactly what was done in order to resolve your issue, that's all. The main thing is your are happy with your repair, and will commuting around town comfortably and warm for the next several months!
Flag This -
DaveJHM, December 31, 2010, 00:24MasterThis certainly is a hot topic. Good deal to get multiple opinions going.
First thing: Because the gauge is reading low AND you have no heat, we have every reason to think that the engine isn't getting to temperature.
And the only things that cause that are an improper thermostat (too cold), extreme air flow (sticking fan clutch...yes, this is a fan clutch, not an electric fan)...and that's really about it. Not much else will keep the engine from getting hot enough.
I am concerned about the diagnostic routine and the lack of proper diagnosis going forward with the shop in question. This is not a complicated issue.

Visitor, December 31, 2010, 00:46I agree with Dave on these points. Unfortunately neither Dave nor myself were actually there doing the inspection, so all we have to go on is the information provided to us and our interpretation. It is possible that you left out what seemed to you as unimportant info, but in our world it could be the smoking gun. I will repeat what Dave has already said, this is not a complicated issue, or should we say, system?

While the Boker USA Beer Barrel Copperhead Folding Pocket Knife is not quite as "aged" as the brewing industry, the same quality standards apply. The oldest evidence that beer was brewed in Germany comes from around 800 B.C. By the second century, beer was being traded commercially in Germany. In 1516, Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria enacted the Reinheitsgebot, or the "Purity Law," which regulated the brewing of beer in Germany. To commemorate this common interest, Boker is introducing a series of traditional Boker USA Beer Barrel Copperhead Pocket Knives with handles made from genuine German ale/beer barrels, handcrafted in the Solingen factory. Boker USA Beer Barrel Copperhead Folders have patterns that include solid nickel silver bolsters, brass liners, carbon steel lades and the resurrected old Tree Brand blade etching. The Boker USA Beer Barrel Copperhead Pocket Knife makes a great item for the collector or everyday user.

COLUMBIA – Short spaces and long gaps have made up the Missouri men's basketball schedule for the past two weeks.
Since Jan. 28, when they faced Texas Tech at Mizzou Arena, the Tigers have been playing home games on Saturday and road games on Monday.
No. 6 Baylor (21-3, 8-3)
at No. 4 Missouri (22-2, 9-2)
WHEN: 12:30 p.m., Saturday
WHERE: Mizzou Arena
TV: KMIZ/Channel 17
The tight turnaround doesn't leave them much time to prepare for their next opponent, but it does prepare them to work within time constraints.
"I think the good thing about that whole transition was it prepares you for the NCAA tournament," Missouri coach Frank Haith said. "Whereas, you are in one site, you don't travel, but that's the kind of turnaround you have. You play Thursday-Saturday or Friday-Sunday."
In a tournament situation, the Tigers would still have only one day of rest between games, but they wouldn't have to travel like they have been.
Sophomore guard Phil Pressey said he enjoys the quick turnarounds because the team gets to play more games and practice less, but it requires toughness for the team to succeed.
"You just have to be mentally tough because playing two games in three days, you've just got to have your mind ready because your body's going to be tired," Pressey said.
The quick turnaround has another advantage, too. It gives the team the rest of the week to prepare for its next opponent.
Haith said his team likes having more time, no question.
After Monday's game at Oklahoma, the team had Tuesday off and went hard in practice on Wednesday. Haith likes having his players play two-minute and four-minute games to keep them sharp and in sync, but fine-tuning things becomes the focus as the team gets closer to tipoff.
"Those games, you get a lot of rest during the week, but it's a long week. You get to prepare well, so the coaches like that, I'm pretty sure," Pressey said with a chuckle. "But for the players, it's just a long time to wait to play."
Junior guard Michael Dixon, however, said it seems like the days have been going by quickly.
"This is a great break for us," Dixon said. "I think we're going to be ready on Saturday."
The No. 4 ranked Tigers will face the No. 6 Baylor at 12:30 p.m. Saturday at Mizzou Arena. With Baylor's loss to No. 7 Kansas on Wednesday, Missouri and Kansas are tied for first place in Big 12 standings. Both have 9-2 conference records while Baylor dropped to 8-3 in the Big 12.

Whether you get engaged on Valentine's Day or any other time during the year, the least romantic question about a forthcoming marriage is whether or not to create a prenuptial agreement (often referred to as a prenup or prenup agreement). The prenup is a contract that fiances may sign before their wedding day which describes and allocates what will happen to them financially in case they divorce.
It may seem hypocritical to some to make plans for a divorce before the day you pledge to share your lives together forever — for richer, for poorer, right? Unfortunately, the ugly truth is that many marriages end in divorce and divorce can be extremely messy. This is particularly true

"love this boot! very comfy, perfect heel height and very cute"
April 08, 2014
"I've used these boots all winter long. Got plenty of compliments and go with so many outfits. Skirts, dresses, leggings and skinny jeans"
March 29, 2014
Pretty but not Functional
"Had to return the boots which was really sad because they are quite good looking. The problem, as I have with many boots, was the shaft. The smooth shaft just doesn't work on my large calves. It always slides down and pools around the ankle making it look misshapen and ugly."
February 27, 2014
Great everyday boot
"I bought this boot in black and have gotten so much use out of it over the past few months. It goes great with leggings, jeans or even a more casual skirt. I can wear them all day and night without my feet hating me. Overall a very good buy."

Meru Valley Golf & Country Club Description: (scenic course located in the heart of Ipoh) Meru Valley Golf & Country Club has some great holes. The fourth hole is an absolute cracker. It's like Augusta 12th, water fronting the green, just about 130 metres from elevated tee box. The signature hole is the 6th. There's an opening in the foliage for golfers to peek through to see the par 3 green guarded by water in the front. It's a nice course for Malaysia standards and the greens are absolutely a delight to putt on. This, plus the fact that the course is really a beautiful course, makes it one of the favourites for Malaysai golfers. Some people might find it challenging enough, but the scenery is beautiful and the experience more exhilarating. The shorter course makes it easier for higher handicap golfers to putt for pars, instead of saving bogeys.

Goa: As Goa goes to the polls early next month, the issue of corruption and land are foremost. An income tax investigation has exposed how politicians are conspiring with real estate and land sharks to sell Goa for a song.
Indicted in the income tax order, which has been accessed by CNN-IBN, is minister Babush Monserrate who is being fielded by the Congress in the upcoming polls.
Monserate got kickbacks worth Rs 27 crore to convert large tracts of farmland into settlement zones in 2006. Monserrate was then town and country planning minister. Suryanarayana, believed to have been close to Monserrate then, later resigned to become a real estate broker.
The income tax order now served on the bureaucrat reveals that Suryanarayana formed a syndicate of real-estate developers just as Monserrate announced his regional plan 2011 for Goa.
The Minister promised to convert 11 huge properties from old Goa to Dona Paula for the settlement for which Monsratte was paid Rs 24.75 crores through one Sadiq Sheikh of Essar Builders Suryanaryana's buyers paid Rs 19.75 Crores between April and August 2006 to Sadiq Sheiklh Rs 4.99 crores were routed through Suryanarayana's wife N Sunitha's Andhra Bank account.
The IT order then tracks the money trail to Monserrate-Sheikh transferred land at Sancoale worth Rs 11.58 crores to Good Earth Developers, owned by Monseratte's son.
He also advanced Rs 15 Crores to Raj Hospitality Pvt Ltd in which Monserrate, wife Jennifer and son Rohit are Directors.
Like in the 2G scam where Kalaingar TV claimed to have received Rs 214 crores from DB Realty as a loan and in that too the Monserrates claimed Rs 15 crores. Sadiq Shikeh when questioned told the IT department the amount was for purchase of shares. Neither side this order says could provide documentary evidence to support their claims.
Monserrate is now a Congress candidate in the upcoming polls an election in which corruption will be a key issue.

Wang, Z and Jayasankar, P and Khoo, S K and Nakamura, K and Sumantadinata, K and Carman, O and Okamoto, N (2000) AFLP Fingerprinting reveals genetic variability in common carp stocks from Indonesia. Asian Fisheries Science , 13 . pp. 139-147.
| PDF 112Kb |
Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) fingerprinting was used to detect genetic variability in two stocks of common carps (Majalaya carp and Sinyonya carp) and second generation gynogens derived from the Majalaya carp. Primer combinations, E-AAC/M-CAA, EAGG/ M-CAC and E-ACC/M-CTT yielded 299 selectively amplified loci of which 66.2% were polymorphic. Maximum polymorphism was evident in the Majalaya carp and minimum among the gynogens. Four types of AFLP bands which were useful to differentiate the stocks in question were identified. Band Sharing Index (BSI) matrix was generated from the band binary value sets. Maximum average BSI was exhibited by the gynogens and minimum by the Majalaya carp. Inter-stock comparisons showed the gynogens to be closest to the Majalaya and farthest from the Sinyonya stock.

At Latham & Watkins, we place a premium on teamwork and collaboration while remaining devoted to world-class training and professional development.
Learn more about the values that underpin this global elite firm - transparency, stability and global integration.
Latham & Watkins represented eight export credit agencies from Japan, Australia, Korea, France, Germany and The Netherlands, and a syndicate of 24 commercial lenders, on a $20 billion project financing of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Australia sponsored by Inpex Corporation and Total SA. The financing efforts for the Ichthys LNG project began in the Spring of 2011 and the finance documents were signed on December 18, 2012. According to Inpex Corporation, the Ichthys project financing is the largest project financing ever arranged in the international finance market. The Ichthys project comprises the development of two gas liquefaction trains with a combined design capacity of 8.4 million tonnes per annum. LNG is produced by cooling natural gas to -161°C, when it becomes a liquid that can then be transported by LNG vessels. Most of the LNG produced by the Ichthys project will be supplied to seven Japanese utilities, with the remainder (1.75 mtpa) being sold to CPC Corporation in Taiwan. In addition to LNG, the project also is expected to produce 1.6 million tonnes per annum of LPG and approximately 100,000 barrels per day of condensates. Latham & Watkins also recently advised the lenders on two other notable LNG projects: the $14 billion financing of the Papua New Guinea LNG project in 2010 and the $8.5 billion project financing of the Australia Pacific LNG project earlier in 2012. In addition, Latham is currently representing the sponsors of the Yamal LNG project in Russia and an Anadarko-led consortium in connection with its LNG project in Mozambique. The team was led by finance partners Bill Voge and Matthew Brown in London, corporate partners Michael Yoshii and Hiroki Kobayashi and finance partner Joe Bevash in Tokyo, and Singapore finance partner Stephen McWilliams. Advice on environmental matters was provided by partner James Barrett in Washington DC, and on tax matters by partners Sean Finn in London and Jiyeon Lee-Lim in New York. London corporate partner Lene Malthasen led a separate Latham team assisting eight bank agents on the transaction.

Plastic Logic's flexible backplane is combined with a frontplane material
(e.g. electronic paper) to make a flexible display
Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies (RUSNANO) and Plastic Logic today announced they have finalized details of RUSNANO's investment in the company, which is the global leader in the emerging field of plastic electronics. The investment project, which will total $700 million, includes building the world's largest volume production factory for Plastic Logic's next-generation plastic displays in Zelenograd, and aims to establish a commercial plastic electronics industry in Russia.
Plastic logic has flexible plastic displays.
Plastic Logic has received an initial investment package of $300 million: Under the final agreement, RUSNANO is providing an initial investment of $150 million into the equity of Plastic Logic. Plastic Logic's lead investor, Oak Investment Partners, a multi-stage venture capital firm, is investing an additional $50 million as part of the project investment plan. In addition to the equity investments, RUSNANO will provide partial guarantees for debt financing in the amount of $100 million.
Over the next few years, additional equity and debt will be raised totaling approximately $400 million.
Plastic electronics technology has the potential to revolutionize the design and production of electronic devices. This technology has many economic, manufacturing, form factor and environmental benefits, assuring that it will replace silicon in a variety of devices in the future. Plastic Logic is the leader in the development of this technology for commercial purposes and has developed broad and deep intellectual property in the technology and is actively advancing this technology in its labs and in manufacturing facilities. Plastic Logic's first application of the technology makes possible an amazingly thin, lightweight, robust and flexible active matrix display that is unmatched in the marketplace. The display is at the core of Plastic Logic's first commercial consumer electronics product, a next-generation electronic reader for business that is currently under development.
The Zelenograd factory, scheduled for production starting in 2013/2014, will have the capacity to produce hundreds of thousands of units of next-generation plastic electronics displays per month. Plastic Logic said it plans to employee 300-plus at the new Zelenograd facility.

Neverending Battles of World War Two
If crashing try lowering your texture settings in options. Medium should be a safe bet for most players. But high also seems to work for some players. Ultra textures is what is causing the crashes, too much stuff for the game engine to load I'm afraid.
A survival skrimish mod with new maps and a complex script that will give you a new experience every time you play.
Made by Ozka (maps and script) (ingame nick Ozka420), with help from fastLegz (maps).
Also big thanks to all the testers and the makers of the Mortar mod and BS3 ATG.Testers: Knegrow (lunarskiit), DJSatane, Timmyvos, Utbildadninja, Kommando, the Soldier, gamerliker.

Important information! Important information!
Read the readme for installation/uninstallation instructions. And also other important information.
July 2012 report.
Progress on 3.0 with a lighter version (less units, smaller sized maps) of the script is in progress, however I am working completely alone on this project at the moment and I have to admit it is tiring and taking time. I have several new maps ready for the next Neverending Battles release (5 maps so far, some provided by fastlegz and warfare11).
Now during the summer, to speed up the motivation and progress of this mod,I've been working on this mostly alone more than a year now, starting with the Korsun Pocket mission from june 2011, which has evolved into this over time.
Please comment on the mod and help me balance and develop this more to your liking at these sites.

Ive released patch 2.3 which fixes the reinforcement menu which made the game unplayable for alot of players. In the following time I will begin work on some small new features for your favorite skirmish mod.
One new feature, which makes playing the game coop alot easier, is a time management feature which will alow you to slow and speed up the time during online battles.
I will also spend some time balancing the enemy waves on harder difficulties so that the enemy wont send too lightly armored waves too often among other things.
After I've balanced NEB some more and put in the last features I want I will begin work on the smaller scale styles of NEB. Either I will go with light and medium versions or just a light, depends on what you guys would like. Until next time.
Fixes to the reinforcement category for players who could not see the whole list. Added a new heavy tank category. Also various small map/bug fixes. See...
New mines and equipment. More units, features and gameplay changes. Every nation recieves their own bonuses to make them have their own type of gameplay...
Neverending Battles 2.1. Bug fixes. Unactivate and delete all old files before installing this. Read more for changelog.
Old version, do not download this anymore. 2.0 is released!
this mod isnt working for me, in the neededfiles it says the the 120mm_I50 file or something in the /set/stuff/gun/ file is not defined. if anyone can find a fix for this please tell me
Does this work for Men of War: Assault Squad 2?
I'm guessing not being that there haven't been any updates in awhile, but I'd love to see this mod ported over to AS2!
any chance to use this mod with the GSM mod to play with Italy, Hungary, Poland, France or Romania?
I want new maps and Japanese, New units and lite version Please im getting so board after a couple hundred playthoughs.
Hmm, I've activated the neededfiles mod and the skirmish menu still doesn't show any missions.
Hope this mod will find a way to MoW:AS2. We loved this one, perhaps a bit too many units, not very hardware friendly. Would be cool some sort of terrain that need more work to defend, also that enemy uses sniper/mortar to kill the defense lines. 30% of your maps crashes even with low textures. ;) Perhaps with GSM would be perfect!

Travel Guide Europe United Kingdom Scotland
Occupying the northern third of the island of Great Britain, Scotland (Gaelic: Alba) is one of the four nations that make up the United Kingdom (the other three are England, Wales and Northern Ireland). The official language of Scotland is English, although Gaelic and the Scots dialect are also spoken. Scotland's history is as rich and colourful as its people. But Scotland is especially famous for its amazing landscapes of the Highlands and Islands in the central and western parts. Combine this with some spectactular castles, and it's not difficult to see why this part of the UK is one of the more appealing areas.
Repeated glaciations, which covered the entire land-mass of modern Scotland, destroyed any traces of human habitation that may have existed before the Mesolithic period. It is believed that the first post-glacial groups of hunter-gatherers arrived in Scotland around 12,800 years ago, as the ice sheet retreated after the last glaciation. Groups of settlers began building the first known permanent houses on Scottish soil around 9,500 years ago, and the first villages around 6,000 years ago. The well-preserved village of Skara Brae on the mainland of Orkney dates from this period. The written protohistory of Scotland began with the arrival of the Roman Empire in southern and central Great Britain. The Romans occupied what is now England and Wales, administering it as a province called Britannia. Roman invasions and occupations of southern Scotland were a series of brief interludes. The Romans erected Hadrian's Wall to control tribes on both sides of the wall.
The Scottish Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution made Scotland into an intellectual, commercial and industrial powerhouse. Almost 700,000 Scots served in World War I, mostly on the Western Front, with at least 74,000 losing their lives. In addition to this, between 1830 and 1930, 2 million Scots emigrated to seek better lives elsewhere. After World War II, Scotland experienced an industrial decline which was particularly severe. Only in recent decades has the country enjoyed something of a cultural and economic renaissance. Economic factors which have contributed to this recovery include a resurgent financial services industry, electronics manufacturing (see Silicon Glen), and the North Sea oil and gas industry.
Following a referendum on devolution proposals in 1997, the Scotland Act 1998 was passed by the United Kingdom Parliament to establish a devolved Scottish Parliament.
Scotland occupies a total land area of 78,772 km². The mainland has 9,911 kilometres of coastline. Scotland's geography is varied, ranging from barren highlands to rural lowlands and uninhabited islands. It occupies the top third of the island of Great Britain and includes over 790 islands and archipelagoes. Scotland's only land border is with England, and runs for 96 kilometres (60 mi) between the basin of the River Tweed on the east coast and the Solway Firth in the west. The Atlantic Ocean borders the west coast and the North Sea is to the east.
Ireland lies 30 kilometres off the southwest coast, separated by the North Channel. 300 kilometres across the North Sea lies Norway and 270 kilometres to the north are the Faroe Islands. Rising to 1,344 metres above sea level, Scotland's highest point is the summit of Ben Nevis, in Lochaber, while Scotland's longest river, the River Tay, flows for a distance of 190 kilometres.
The territorial extent of Scotland is generally that established by the 1237 Treaty of York between Scotland and the Kingdom of England and the 1266 Treaty of Perth between Scotland and Norway. Important exceptions include the Isle of Man, which having been lost to England in the 14th century is now a crown dependency outside of the United Kingdom; the island groups Orkney and Shetland, which were acquired from Norway in 1472; and Berwick-upon-Tweed, lost to England in 1482.
The mainland regions given below do not correspond to Local Government boundaries.
There are also over 790 Scottish Islands.
The main groups are:
Edinburgh is the Scottish capital and is the country's most popular attraction. Its Old Town and New Town have both been named as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Glasgow is Scotland's largest city. Admire the architecture, enjoy some bar hopping and engage with the friendly locals that make Glasgow such a welcoming place.
Ben Nevis, or more commonly called "the Ben," is the highest mountain in the United Kingdom and is located in the Grampian Mountains in the Lochaber area of Scotland. This 1,344 metres (4,409 feet) mountain attracts over 100,000 ascents a year, with most using a nice modern walk up trail. Many mountaineers try to climb the more difficult 700 m cliff on the north face of the mountain. During the winter time Ben Nevis offers great ice climbing opportunities.
Skara Brae is a large stone built neolithic village, located on the Bay of Skaill on the west coast of mainland Orkney. The town is made up of ten houses that were occupied roughly from 3100 to 2500 BC. Skara Brae's claim to fame is that it is Western Europe's most complete neolithic village and it is so intact that it gained UNESCO World Heritage Site status as the Heart of Neolithic Orkney
in December of 1999. The site was not fully excavated until 1930 and people visiting it today can spot stone furniture and little homes.
Iona Abbey is the oldest and one of the most important religious sites in Scotland. It is considered the starting point for the spread of Christianity throughout Scotland. Located on the Isle of Iona, just off the Isle of Mull, on the west coast of Scotland, Iona Abbey was founded in 563. It slowly grew over the years and even survived a viking massacre in 806, during which all the residents were killed. After the Protestant Reformation in Scotland the abbey was abandoned, but in the 19th century it was made part of the Church of Scotland and was restored. Any visit to Iona Abbey should be followed by a stroll in the graveyard to see the graves of kings from Norway, Scotland, Ireland and France.
Inverness Castle, located in the city of Inverness, sits on a cliff overlooking the River Ness. The red sandstone structure evident today was built in 1836 by architect William Burn. It is built on the site of an 11th century defensive structure. Today, it houses Inverness Sheriff Court. There has been a castle at this site for many centuries.
Loch Ness is Scotland's second largest loch (lake), just behind Loch Lomond, but due to its extreme depth of 230 metres, it is the largest by volume. It is a deep, freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands extending for approximately 37 kilometres southwest of Inverness. Loch Ness is most famous thanks to its elusive inhabitant "Nessie", a.k.a. the Loch Ness Monster. See if you can spot the monster, or just enjoy the loch for its natural beauty. On the northside of the lake you will find the ruins of Urquhart Castle, which used to be one of the biggest in Scotland.
The weather of Scotland is temperate and oceanic although it can change greatly during anytime of the year. The country is warmed by the Gulf Stream flowing up the Atlantic and giving the area milder winters and cooler summers when compared to areas with similar latitudes such as Moscow. Scotland tends to be warmer in the east and cooler in the west. Rainfall varies across the country; for example the lowlands receive less than 800 mm of rain a year while the highlands have about 3,000 mm. The highlands tend to have much more snow in the winter than the lowlands.
The main airports in Scotland are:
Airlines flying into Scotland are mainly from regional destinations. There are also seasonal flights from North America. Major airlines include British Airways, easyJet, First Choice Airways, Flybe, Flyglobespan, MyTravel Airways, Ryanair, Thompsonfly, Thomas Cook Airlines.
There is an excellent system of motorways connecting England to Scotland directly, and rental cars can easily be taken from one country to the other. Of course there are no border crossings, just have your driver's licence and insurance in order.
Megabus offers connections between the major Scottish cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh and English destinations like Manchester and Liverpool. Eurolines and East Coast have connections as well, mainly to England and sometimes Wales.
From Northern Ireland
From Belgium
Plan A Journey offers information about transport in Scotland and some other parts of the UK.
Logan Air operates on behalf of British Airways and FlyBe and mainly flies from Glasgow, and sometimes Aberdeen, to destinations in the north of Scotland. These include Barra, Benbecula, Kirkwall (Orkney Islands), Sumburgh (Shetland Islands), Stornoway and Tiree.
First Scot Rail operates the rail lines in Scotland. Main routes include Glasgow to Edinburg and Aberdeen. There are also beautiful routes crossing the Scottish Highlands, such as Perth - Inverness, Inverness - Kyle of Lochalsh and Glasgow - Fort William - Mallaig. On the latter route, the Fort William to Mallaig part of the journey goes by special transport on the Jacobite Steam Train.
Scotland is a great place to travel around by road, and most roads are paved and in excellent condition. The main motorways within Scotland are:
Traffic Scotland provides real-time and future traffic information, live-eye views and journey time for Scotland.
Although travelling around the southern part of Scotland is fairly easy, once you get further north or into the interior highlands, be aware that roads are often narrow and winding and can get slippery after rain. Drive carefully and on the left side of the road. International and local car rental firms have offices at international airports and in most of the bigger cities. A national driving licence or for some countries an international permit will do. The main companies include Hertz, Avis, Budget, Europcar, Thrifty and Enterprise.
Citylink is the main operator between Glasgow and Edinburgh, with several departures every hour, taking just over an hour, but costing less than the trains.
Megabus serves Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Perth and Inverness, among several other smaller places.
Caledonian MacBrayne is one of the largest ferry operators in Scotland with services on the west coast and Clyde estuary. They serve many of the islands, including the Inner Hebrides and Outer Hebrides.
Northlink Ferries operates boats between the Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands. Ferries leave from Aberdeen for Lerwick, or from Scrabster to Stromness.
Summer only John o'Groats Ferry offers bus-ferry-bus service in one from Inverness to Kirkwall on the Orkney Islands. Tickets (one way/return £30/42, five hours) include bus travel from Inverness to John o'Groats, passenger ferry to Burwick, and another bus from Burwick to Kirkwall. There's one bus daily in May and two daily from June to early September.
Pentland Ferries offers ferries to the Orkneys from Gills Bay, about 5 kilometres west of John o'Groats, heading to St Margaret's Hope in Orkney about 3 or 4 times daily depending on the season.

Further information: United Kingdom
Being part of the United Kingdom, Scotland uses the same pound sterling as its currency with the international currency code GBP (Great Britain Pound). The currency sign for pound is £ (the symbol is derived from the letter L).
The Bank of England (BoE), the central bank of the UK, issues pound sterling banknotes and coins for the whole of the United Kingdom. At the same time, three private banks in Scotland (Bank of Scotland, The Royal Bank of Scotland, Clydesdale Bank) also issue sterling banknotes of their own designs. These banknotes have the same value as the ones issued by BoE and are usually found only in Scotland. The notes can also be used outside Scotland within the UK although some merchants may be reluctant to accept them. Outside the UK, usually only BoE-issued sterling banknotes are recognised as the country's legal tender.
The official language of Scotland is English, although Gaelic and the Scots dialect are also spoken.
Bed and Breakfast accommodation is widely available, even in remote areas and some very good deals can be found. Many people consider these to be more friendly and welcoming than a hotel. Local tourist information centres will help you find a room for the same night, and you may expect to pay in the region of £25 per person per night for room and full Scottish breakfast.
Scotland has plenty of Hostels, both the Scottish Youth Hostel Association (SYHA) and a large and developing network of Independent Hostels. Some of the buildings are very impressive.

In case of emergency, dial 999 or 112 for Police, Ambulance, Fire Brigade and Coast Guard. It's free of charge.
Although tourist areas are generally safe, travellers should still practise some common sense safety precautions just as they do anywhere in the world.
Scotland's weather is highly changeable, but rarely extreme. In the mountainous regions of the north and west of the country the weather can change swiftly and frequently even in Summer. What started as a bright morning can end as a very wet, very windy and very cold afternoon. Packing extra warm and rainproof clothing is advisable, whatever the time of year.
Internet cafés can be found in many cities and towns. All UK public libraries provide access, often branded as "People's Network", usually at no or little charge, though there is usually a time limit. Some hotels/hostels also offer internet access, including wifi, but most times at a cost. Using the internet on your personal phone can become expensive very quickly, with carriers charging 100's of times the local rate for data. To avoid these expensive roaming charges, you can hunt for wifi at a local cafe or hotel, or rent a mobile hotspot via several providers including DATAPiXY, and XCOM Global.

The country calling code to the United Kingdom is: 44. To make an international call from the United Kingdom, the code is: 00
In case of emergency, call 999 or 112 from any phone. Such calls are free and will be answered by an emergency services operator who will ask you for your location, and the service(s) you need (police, fire, ambulance, coastguard or mountain rescue). You can call this number from any mobile telephone as well, even if you do not have roaming.
Although the number is declining, you can still find payphones in many public areas, especially stations, airports etc. You can usually pay with cash and sometimes by creditcard or, for international calls, special phonecards are still available.
Mobile phones are heavily used. The main networks are T-Mobile, Vodafone, Orange and O2. 3G data services are available, usually priced per megabyte and coverage is usually very good in the UK, however it may lack in rural areas. Roaming on your personal phone plan can be expensive. To manage costs, consider purchasing a local UK SIM card for your phone. Several companies offer local SIM cards including Telestial, and CellularAbroad.
The Royal Mail provides postal services in the United Kingdom. The Royal Mail's store fronts are called Post Office and offer services ranging from sending letters and packages to foreign currency exchange. Use the branch locator to find the nearest Post Office branch. There will be at least one post office in any town/city and there are quite often post offices in larger villages. It's common for a post office to be incorporated into a grocery store, where there will be a small counter located at the back of the store for dealing with post related matters. All post offices are marked with signs that say 'post office' in red lettering. Post boxes can be found at any post office and standalone large red post boxes on the streets or red boxes in the sides of public buildings.
For sending packages overseas, it might be a good idea to check prices and services with international companies like TNT, UPS or DHL.
