On Cheapness
How, after over 100 years of development can we not manufacture power cables properly? You'd think especially the Thinkpad might come with adapters and cables which could last more than a few years.

A_CustomMissile (string missiletype [, float spawnheight [, int spawnofs_horiz [, angle angle [, int aimflags [, angle pitch]]]]])
A_CustomMissile (string missiletype [, float spawnheight [, int spawnofs_horiz [, angle angle [, int aimflags [, angle pitch [, int target]]]]]]) (development version c13f155 only)
A customizable projectile attack for monsters. Spawns a missile attack where missiletype is the type of missile to shoot, spawnheight is how high from the monster's feet to shoot the missile, spawnofs_horiz is how far from the monster's center to shoot the missile, and angle is the direction relative to the monster's facing angle in which to shoot the missile. The pitch parameter is only used if at least one of the flags CMF_AIMDIRECTION, CMF_ABSOLUTEPITCH and CMF_OFFSETPITCH are used. target is the actor to fire the missile at. This takes an actor pointer. By default, the calling actor fires at its target (AAPTR_TARGET). (development version c13f155 only)
The aimflags can be used to determine the aim mode. By default, it is aimed directly at the target. The following flags can be used to change this behavior:
- The missile is aimed parallel to a missile with a spawn height of 32 and an xy-offet of 0. This can be useful if you want to have a monster shoot multiple missiles at once. This is the same as putting 1 into the aimflags parameter.
- The missile is not aimed at a target. Instead, it is shot in the specified direction with the specified pitch. This is the same as putting 2 into the aimflags parameter.
- If a missile is fired by another missile, use this flag to ensure the secondary projectile knows who is its real owner. This behavior would have been the default, but it wasn't in the 2.0.x branch of ZDoom, allowing erroneous behavior which has been used by some mods, so fixing this would break compatibility. This is the same as adding 4 to the aimflags parameter.
- With this flag, the function will not spawn a missile if the calling actor's current target is dead. This is the same as adding 8 to the aimflags parameter.
- Use the pitch parameter as an absolute value, ignoring the calculated aim pitch. Implied CMF_AIMDIRECTION. The main difference here is that a target is required, where CMF_AIMDIRECTION does not require a target.
- Use the pitch parameter as an offset to the calculated aim pitch.
- The pitch used for firing the missile is saved as the missile's own pitch. (Require CMF_AIMDIRECTION, CMF_ABSOLUTEPITCH, or CMF_OFFSETPITCH.)
- Use the angle parameter as an absolute value, ignoring the calculated aim angle. The calling actor's angle is still factored in, however.

This problem will ask you to find the Norton equivalent circuit at the terminals A-B.
For help, let us define all variables and write them in the circuit (we chose arbitrary directions and polarities):
You must realize by now (after doing all the previous problems in this set) that there are many ways to find the equivalent Thevenin and Norton circuits; here we only ask for the Norton. If you want to find IN first, you should consider v=0 in the circuit above. Or you could find RN, find VTh, then deduce IN. It is your choice!
Find the equivalent Norton circuit at terminals A-B:
a) iN = ?
b) RN = ?

When I prepared this dish, the skin on the hens burnt. Too much sugar? It sounded great, but was disappointed. Any suggestions gladly accepted.flag if inappropriate
This had a nice flavor (made with Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki and fresh-squeezed OJ), but adding the chicken broth to the sauce was a mistake. There was plenty of sauce without it, and the chicken broth just made it too thin. I ended up using cornstarch to thicken it a bit. Next time, no broth.flag if inappropriate

Kedgi and Trusty part ways
Guys as an addendum to my ride report......
Trusty and I have parted ways.
I know it may be hard for some of you to believe but I have traded Trusty my KLR in on a new KTM 990. It was hard to part with a bike that I have gone so many places and seen so much on. Last week I took Trusty to Duguays Kawasaki in Amherst NS, got her valves set, new chain and sprockets, battery and some other odds and ends, all the TLC she deserved after serving me so well. Many thanks to the guys at Duguays for all your great service!
Then I took a test ride on a KTM 990, borrowed from the KTM/Honda/and...shhhh....Harley dealer in Moncton, NB, Toys for Big Boys. I spoke with Brittany Baxter, who is an excellent sales rep, I bought a mower and a snowblower from Brittany in the past and she referred me to Frank Leger, their KTM specialist. Frank offered me a 24 hour test ride on his 990 demonstrator. I took a good ride around Southern NB on a varied roads, I love to ride and I was hooked. Here are a few photos from the test ride
And sadly here is the last picture I will take with Trusty the KLR
My wife Angele took this picture of me and Trusty in front of Toys for Big Boys just moments before I traded her in. I have to admit I was sad to see her go, but Toys offered me a fair trade on her and I am looking forward to a great relationship with them and new adventures on my 990. Mexico here I come! (This Winter)
So all you KTM/Honda or Harley guys passing through Moncton, if you need anything, check out Toys for Big Boys a big shop with a great staff. I know they would jump through hoops to help any ADVrider
Here is a picture of the new bike getting prepped in the shop.
Thanks to all my readers....stay tuned this fall for another epic ride with Kedgi and his new KTM

Frank McCourt, Dodgers Owner, Sends Out Eerie Press Release, Confronting Commissioner Bud Selig
Late into today's news cycle -- at 9:15 p.m., to be exact -- the Los Angeles Dodgers' media team sent out an eerie, three-lined statement from a rebellious Frank McCourt, the owner of the apparently financially challenged baseball team.
With only the headline "Statement from Dodger Owner Frank McCourt," and with absolutely no other information -- not even the usual phone number for the press office -- the note reads:
"Major League Baseball sets strict financial guidelines which all 30 teams must follow. The Dodgers are in compliance with these guidelines. On this basis, it is hard to understand the Commissioner's action today."
The press release, quite frankly, comes off kind of spooky. Just a lot of white space, no Dodger logo, and only those three lines from a man who must be going through some heavy emotions right now.
Major League Baseball, as many of you know, took control of the day-to-day operations of the Dodgers today, with baseball commissioner Bud Selig saying:
"I have taken this action because of my deep concerns regarding the finances and operations of the Dodgers and to protect the best interests of the Club, its great fans and all of Major League Baseball."
McCourt, it is believed, is in serious financial trouble, as Jack Humphreville at CityWatch points out.
By the way, we'd like to suggest right now that MLB think twice about putting the Dodgers in the hands of Steve Soboroff if that becomes a scenario. The Los Angeles political insider and wealthy developer was very recently brought into the Dodger organization to supposedly improve the "fan experience."
Yesterday, Soboroff made the statement that "Frank McCourt is financially fine."
Is taking a personal loan of $30 million from the FOX Broadcasting Company to cover the Dodgers' payroll some kind of weird proof that McCourt is "fine"?
Doesn't smell right to us.
Either Soboroff was totally misinformed when he made that statement or he's hiding something or both. Either way, Soboroff doesn't comes across as the kind of capable hands the Dodgers need right now to steer the ship.
And the saga at Chavez Ravine will no doubt continue to unfold...

If you're standing on thin ice, you might as well tap dance.
I am having a great time enjoying this journey called life. I am just looking for someone to enjoy it with. Whether having a quiet night in, or doing something more adventurous, it's always better to have someone to share it with. It's seems quite hard to tell people about yourself in written form but here goes. I moved here from Australia twelve years ago to "give it a go" and never left and I officially have two homes now. Designing computer software is how I earn a "crust" and it enables me to travel and see the world. You know what they say "find something you love to do and you will never have to work a day in your life" - that's how I feel. Who am I looking for? Not really sure. If I new I wouldn't be using this site. We are all different and we all make this world turn. I guess I would like someone who I find attractive, I get along with and someone who challenges me. Basically I am looking for a nice person. Sounds simple when I write it down! If you have read this far - thank you for your patience. If you would like to chat, please do. It's always nice getting an email and getting to know new people.

All the cliche stuff... spending time with friends, watching sports, and talking to my family back home in Australia. Aside from that, I like cooking (especially bbq), learning new things, and working on my new house while watching HGTV.
Steve Jobs Biography- I liked that it showed a different side of his life. I do roughly the same job & the book opened my eyes a little. Before the book I thought of him as a god and after finishing it he had more of a human side.

The rumours started on Twitter and suggested the pop star had been in a car crash.
It was also suggested he was suffering from heart failure.
A publicist for the band said the online reports were "false" and a "total hoax".
The band's official Twitter account also tweeted: "Stories reporting that Neil has been seriously injured are a hoax. PSB HQ."
The Pet Shop Boys are set to play 10 dates in America in April as part of the Electric 2014 tour, including a headlining slot at the Coachella music festival in California.
The publicist added: "He is alive and well. Read their Twitter. He wasn't even in Germany."

31 year old woman | Parsippany, NJ, USA | Seeking men 29-41 within 300 miles
God will have to kick out your "Mr. Wrongs" before He has you Mr. Right kick in.
I have been in accounting professional industry for years, experiencing regional CPA firm, Big Four, and general corporate accounting. I am selective to meet people from dating webs. The reason I gave it a try is because I focus on my careers, workout, and family most of time and do not have much exposure to guys within the comparable range. According to the few people I met so far, my profile and pictures do reflect the real me (or maybe understated a bit). Compared to the majority of the city girls, I am down-to-earth,less materialistic, genuine and loyal, self-dependent, and I do respect and take your family as mine once I am committed to you. I am the seemingly cute, sweet, and maybe a bit fragile lady, but people who know me describe me as brave, challenging, and very independent. I just spent my 29 years old Bday, but when I looked at the past 6 years, I celebrated the Bdays in 6 different cities spread out all over the US (Could you tell what a challenge that I have to move and travel for school and work? Most of all, I did all on my own, with the belief that God is with me all the time). Several bullet points about me: I have a younger look and a kid's heart behind my practical maturity and independent personality. I place equal weight on my magnitude in knowledge as much as my appearance ( I enjoy various good food, but still keep exercise schedule and drink water instead of soda). I am a typical INFJ in my personality, People describe me as intelligent, thoughtful, and instinctive. I am good at assessing situations and applying the optimal solutions accordingly (if I do not lose my mind and still think straight, and it is usually 98% correct). As an experienced traveler, I know how to handle challenges and uncertainty coming into my way in the life path. If you are into astrology (as I know, not a guy's thing), you may guess I am a Leo girl from my good appearance, and a Sagittarius from my adventurous and freedom-loving spirits. However, I am a reserved, devoted, and home-loving traditional lady at heart..yes it is typical of a Capricorn. In a relationship, I am a close friend to talk with, a caring lover to share life with, and an independent partner to ride through difficulties. I am very royal to my special loved one once I become devoted and committed. Career and family are the two most important things in my life. I hope my future partner respects and supports my choice of career advancement with flexibility and care. Meanwhile, family is always my most precious asset providing harbor of love and commitment. What I am looking for is a soul mate to not just be a life partner, but a close friend who holds comparable thoughts and life values to me. I appreciate a responsible guy with a goal of life, traditional values, and commitment to love and care about the other half, as I reciprocate. If you scrolled down to here, do not think this is a scam; I am very real and if you would like to confirm, message me. What I am asking is only one thing: true love and the accompanying devotion to love for the rest of life.

The Smith Mountain Lake Charity Home Tour passed out checks for $15,000 to eight charities last week.
The money was raised during the annual home tour held over three days in early October. People purchased $25 tickets to tour the interiors of elegant lake area houses volunteered by their owners. Eight houses were on this year's tour.
According to Marty Bowers, chairman of the home tour's board, 1,800 people purchased tickets.
May Massie retired Friday after 30 years with the United States Postal service.
Massie, a Big Island native, has been Bedford's postmaster since 2001. Her postal career has kept her in this area and included a tour of duty as Big Island's postmaster.
The Bedford Museum held a luncheon Nov. 13 to honor its volunteers.
"It's just actually a token of our appreciation to those who volunteer at the museum," said Annie Pollard, chairman of the museum's board.
Pollard said that volunteers provide wide range of skills to the museum ranging from computer skills to providing information for books on Bedford area history that the museum produces.
One current project is scanning ledger books to create digital images.
Bedford Science and Technology Center (BSTC) has a program that helps fill a healthcare need.
A customer at a Bedford beauty salon liked the place so much that she bought it.
Kathy Grigg had been a customer of Hair Then and Now, located on South Bridge Street, for five years when she learned that it was up for sale. She and her husband, David, bought it in July.
Grigg, who said she first started coming for facials, said that salon provided a full array of services and was constantly coming up with new offerings.
Two million dollars.
That's how much extra money the Bedford County School Board has to work with this year, money saved from the Jefferson Forest and Staunton River High School construction projects. Getting those two projects completed ahead of schedule is a bonus; having them come in under budget is truly something to be thankful for — especially in these tight financial times.
Now the question becomes: What to do with that money?
While there are many things we don't know about President-elect Barack Obama, there is one thing I know, and one thing I'm pretty sure of.
"The conservative era is over."
As much pleasure as it gives me to see, read, and hear those words, I can't claim them for myself.
They came from none other than Pat Buchanan, the former Nixon aide who spoke them on television on the night of the election.
He is, of course, right. Conservatism, and its longtime home, the Republican Party, is out of power at all the top levels of our national government, and seems likely to be so for quite some time.
In this month of November, with Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving, it seems appropriate to remember, pay tribute, and extend thanks to all from Bedford County who have ever served in our country's armed forces.
Throughout Bedford County's history, its citizens have been patriotic in peacetime and in war. Bedford County men have fought and died in nearly every major war of America.
Starting November 15th, Medicare beneficiaries will be able to make changes in their health and prescription drug coverage for 2009. The Medicare annual open enrollment season for Part D prescription drug plans runs from November 15 through December 31, 2008.

Originally written on Fox Sports Arizona | Last updated 11/21/11
TUCSON The Arizona men's basketball team will be short a big man on Wednesday when it faces San Diego State. Freshman center Sidiki Johnson has been suspended indefinitely for violations of team policy, according to head coach Sean Miller. The announcement was made Monday night. Johnson, a 6-foot-8, 235-pound, freshman forward from the Bronx, N.Y., has made three appearances for the Wildcats this season, averaging 0.3 points and 0.7 rebounds. Johnson had played well most recently after struggling in the first two games for Arizona. After the second game of the season, Miller said of Johnson, "Hopefully he can work to get better, but I'm not counting on it." According to the UA announcement, it's not clear how long the suspension will last or what the problem is. Miller said no further comment will be made.

37 year old man | Virginia Beach, VA, USA | Seeking women 27-42 within 50 miles
Live, Laugh, Love....and a little partying never hurt anybody either!
Ok, Here we go....I could easily write paragraph after paragraph detailing how awesome and amazing I am, which is a fact (Slight sarcasm, but still true haha) I guess my point is that all the accolades I dish out about myself, all the the things that make me interesting to read about should be left to real conversation. I have a great job with awesome stories and a pretty amazing life so far, but its far better to share those things with someone who truly wants to know about them because they are sincerely interested, and that's what I feel is missing right now, that someone special to share the day to day happenings with. I have done really stupid stuff in my life (i.e. my last Vegas trip) and I've done some some amazingly wonderful things (saving lives, rescuing animals, etc). I don't need to know a lot about a person, just enough to make me interested, the rest is all part of the journey. If any of this makes sense, then maybe...just maybe...all this money spent on therapy is starting to pay off. Haha, I'm just joking, it's court mandated, I don't have to pay a dime :) Disclaimer: The last sentence about court mandated therapy was just a joke (probably not as good as I thought it was when I originally wrote it) but since I was asked if it was true by someone (you know who you are) I just wanted to clarify for the more gullible. Seriously though, I am a down to earth Virginia Beach native, with a serious sarcastic/joking side that sometimes gets me in trouble. I am a fun loving country boy with a little beach bum on the side. I love traveling, being spontaneous and throwing caution to the wind. I know some of the best times in my life were unplanned and spontaneous. I love being social and going out to local bars and restaurants, but I am just as happy staying in and watching movies and kicking back with a nice bottle of wine (or beer, depends on my mood and company) I have a huge heart and follow it to the end and always put others before myself. I love cooking and learning to cook new things. I believe social gathering spots like bars should be reserved for friends having a good time, not a place to find and hit on the fairer sex. I love the beach, going to concerts and live sporting events (Tailgating at ODU Football, which is my favorite fall activity). I have an awesome family and amazing friends and there is no bigger fan of having FUN than me, but nothing will top truly falling in love. So I hope this didn't come across as conceited or contrived, it's just so hard to convey tone in text. If any part of this interests you, then you are awesome, and I'd love to hear from you.

I have been a patient for 7 years. Dr. Agrawal has always shown a great deal of respect for me on each and every visit. He takes the time to talk with me each visit and most importantly he actually looks directly at me when we are talking, listens attentively and actually hears what I am saying. I am a nurse and I am picky about my healthcare and never once have I been dissatisfied or disappointed with my care. His office staff is also very competent and caring and helpful. This practice is proof that attitude starts at the top !

Short Connection ConcernJul 14, 20141I'm arriving in IAD from NRT at 3:45pm and to connect at 4:55pm to RDU. Even though they say it's a legal connection, I'm quite concerned I will miss this flight. My seat is also at the very back of the plane. Any help to my situation if I upgrade to economy plus?KaysonMon, Jul 14
Connection timeJul 16, 20143I am scheduled to arrive at IAD at 3:45pm on a United flight from Tokyo (NRT). My connecting flight (United) from IAD to Boston Logan is scheduled to depart at 5:05pm. Is 1 hr 20 min enough to time to clear immigration/customs and make my connecting flight?GeorgioMon, Jul 14It is possible. However that is prime arrival time into IAD and 1 hr 20 minutes is below the Minimum Intl->Domestic connection time. So it is a bit risky.ZAPMon, Jul 14Interesting. My husband booked same flight to IAD w/ same departure time (to BTV - Vermont). I asked about the itinerary, also concerned about connections, and United Airlines assured me it is well within "legal" connection times.LilyWed, Jul 16Regarding IAD connection -- we also considered changing flight through ORD, buys us an extra 45 minutes, BUT change fee is $300. I wish I knew what United is looking at when they say within legal time limits -- I'm not familiar with Minimum Intl>Domestic connection times, but I think they should be. It will be cheaper to book hotel than change ticket.LilyWed, Jul 16
delayed flightJun 25, 20142My flight from SDF to IAD is delayed. I need to make a flight to Brussels by the boarding end time of 520, but because of the delay, I wont arrive in DC until 4:44. It looms like I arrive at gate A4 and depart gate C2. The departing flight leaves at 5:35. Can I make it???magnoliaWed, Jun 25
Time to catch different plane???Jun 24, 20142I'm flying in from Orlando and should land in IAD at 11:16am. I have to catch another plane at 12:20pm. This is one of those "hacker" deals from Kayak. I'm trying to decide if I will have enough time to catch the other plane. I don't know how far apart the 2 planes are. Is this a big airport? Do you think I will have time to catch another plane? Will I have to go through security or something else that may slow me down? Any help is appreciated!BrockTue, Jun 24All gates at IAD are connected inside security. If you don't have checked bags and check in for your second flight on-line you should be OK.ZAPTue, Jun 24That should be enough time. You will go through Immigration, claim your bags, go through customs, then re-check your bags in Terminal 4. Then you can go to the departure level, through security, and then take Delta's shuttle bus to Terminal 2 where you will depart, or take the AirTrain/Air Terminals Train to T2 and go through security there.ZAPSat, May 31
Enough time for connections?Jun 22, 20144Flying in to IAD from Charleston, SC at 11:40. My flight departs for Tokyo at 12:25... 45 minutes to board for an international flight? All flights are United. Thanks! Freaking out as change fee is $750 and leaving on red eye from CHSChelsea1383Sun, Jun 22Most likely, you will arrive at IAD's Midfield Concourse C/D, at C or D gates, & depart from either Z or H gates of the Main Terminal. Your boarding pass, as well as the overhead screens on arrival at IAD, should indicate flight & gate number. While the Aerotrain runs its continuous loop between the Main Terminal and Concourses A through C - C gates C1-30 & D gates D1-32 are connected by a walkway. Hurry! For more details, I suggest you open www.ifly.com/iad, then click on 'Terminal Map' under 'QUICK LINKS', and scroll down to the detailed text.sujun14Sun, Jun 22please ignore SUJUN's Nonsensical and incorrect "advice". You will arrive on A, C, or D. and depart from C or D. A and C/D are connected by the aerotrain and mobile lounge inside security. You should have enough time if your first flight is on-time but you will have to hurry.ZAPSun, Jun 22Thanks! I won't have to go thru a recheck with security? I planned to run anyways but was worried about going into another security screening since I was boarding an international flight. I have never flown through Dulles or not had a straight flight (ATL-FRA) where I haven't had to worry about it before. Thanks again!Chelsea1383Sun, Jun 22

Cancun Arrival - Copenhagen Departure.Jun 20, 20141Hi All, I'm planning a trip, where I will be arriving from Cancun and departing for Copenhagen, Denmark. I would however only have 55 min. (according to flight plans) to connect... would this be too tight? As I am going International to International, do I still have to go through US Immigration, re-check my luggage etc.? Thanks.JesperWed, Jun 11If you purchase your tickets together they will be tagged through to Miami in Manila. When you get to Terminal 1 you will go through US Immigration, claim your bags, go through US customs, and then you can re-check your bags with Delta. Then you will take the AirTrain to Terminal 2 or Terminal 4 (check monitors, if departure gate begins with B it leaves from Terminal 4, if C it leaves from Terminal 2), then get your boarding pass if you don't already have it, then go through security and to your departure gate.ZAPFri, Jun 20

Black Country-made buttons that gave the edge to a copper's uniform
Posted: August 19, 2013|
Police uniforms varied considerably before the inception of the earliest mainstream ploice force in the country and the passing of the Metropolitan Police Act of 1829. With other county police acts following in quick succession, policing became standardised and so did a policeman's uniform.
After our feature 'Ello, 'ello, 'ello! what's goin' on 'ere then? appeared in Bugle 1090, we had a tremendous response from former police officers with memories to share of their time pounding the beat, and in the coming weeks we hope to publish these in full.
In the meantime, and also after reading our earlier article, Bryn Williams of Cradley decided to tackle a more specific aspect of a policeman's lot, and as a former employee of James Grove & Sons of Halesowen, he was able to show us the connection between this famous button making Black Country firm, which sadly closed just before Christmas last year after 155 years, and the policeman's uniform.
In his time at James Grove Bryn collected a few artefacts and now has a veritable museum in his possession. But as a proud former employee of the firm and a keen historian, Bryn's actions have safeguarded the history of James Grove for future generations.
He emptied a bag of button dies, a selection he'd brought with him to Bugle House, all made from steel and weighing a considerable amount when added together.
There were the details of police forces from all over the country, some of which were probably disbanded many years ago; Lancashire Police, City of Wakefield Police and the Surrey Constabulary, to name but three, and some unusual examples such as the Rural Police Norfolk, and the Dockyard Police.
On each die there was stamped the year of manufacture and a number, the significance of which Bryn explained.
"Each button had to be a certain size to compliment a different part of the uniform and the individual numbers are called lines, with each measurement taken from a line gauge." The line-gauge Bryn had with him was in marvellous condition and very old, made out of boxwood and brass (later versions were made entirely out of brass). The makers name stamped perfectly on the edge of the tool was J. Rabone & Sons, a Birmingham manufacturer famous for its rulers and measuring devises, founded in Hockley in 1784.
Then from another bag Bryn produced a selection of buttons, all in pristine condition and some still with surplus around the edges which would have been filed away in the final process.
Staffordshire County Police, Metropolitan Police, East Sussex Constabulary and Birmingham Police were just a few of the police forces represented, all made from pressed buffalo horn. The buffalo horn was imported from India and in its raw state it was pressed flat under pressure. The blanks would have been machined out, and using the dies the buttons would have been made and then finally polished.
The different years stamped on the individual dies suggests that James Grove & Sons enjoyed quite a lengthy spell as a manufacturer of police uniform buttons – the years on the dies that Bryn showed us ranged from 1902 to 1926. Bryn reckons James Grove had a monopoly of making police uniform buttons in the first quarter of the 20th century.
The final piece in this jigsaw of button memorabilia and the most tangible link between James Grove & Sons and the manufacture of police uniform buttons was the best piece of all.
On the reverse of one of the buttons and clearly marked were the words "Grove & Sons, Halesowen", a name that was synonymous with button making for 155 years and a name that will always remain an important part of the Black Country's industrial history.
If there are any former James Grove & Sons employees who would like to share an anecdote or two about this famous Black Country button manufacturer with Bugle readers, please email jworkman @blackcountrybugle.

Critical Review by Richard Eder
SOURCE: "Has He Forgotten Anything?" in Los Angeles Times Book Review, April 1, 1990, pp. 3, 11.
In the favorable review below, Eder relates O'Brien's memories of war to the actual writing of The Things They Carried.
Why is he still writing about the Vietnam War, Tim O'Brien's 10-year-old daughter asks him. Why not write about a little girl who finds a million dollars and spends it on a Shetland pony?
The reader may ask the same question, though probably not about the pony. Writing that commands the graceful and unsparing strength that O'Brien used in Going After Cacciato a dozen years ago is rare. How we need writers to give us an equivalent strength and discrimination for the more inchoate puzzlement of our own days!
O'Brien, whose reflections and comments run through this new chain of Vietnam stories [in The Things They Carried], faces the question. He takes it up, puts it down, takes it up again. He tells us that you get your material where you find it. That's off-hand, even crude. Then, later:
I'm 43 years old and I'm still writing war stories…. The remembering makes it now. And sometimes remembering will lead to a story which makes it forever. That's what stories are for. Stories are for joining the past and the present.
If you are in prison, you write to get out; O'Brien's memories still encircle him. But the fuller justification for The Things They Carried is the writing itself. Some of it does seem like the most acute of second thoughts. Some of the less interesting pieces do seem like a harking-back in order to re-live the extra aliveness that came with the horrors.
But the best of these stories—and none is written with less than the sharp edge of a honed vision—are memory as prophecy. They tell us not where we were but where we are; and perhaps where we will be.
O'Brien draws upon his own experience in Vietnam, of course, but the characters and incidents are fictional, he writes. He casts himself, though, both as a fictional member of the platoon where the stories are set and as the narrator meditating upon them years later.
His voice advances, halts, doubles back. An incident will be told in two or three different ways; it will be interrupted, it will peter out, and resume. Sometimes it will deny some of what it has told us, or tell us that it happened differently.
"How to Tell a Story in Wartime" is the title of one set of story fragments, reflections and comments. A story cannot be told straight, it informs us. What is to be told is so hideous, unpredictable and absurd that the narrator has to manipulate it, duck away and invent. In war, you tell a story to escape or change the thing you have to tell.
These 19- and 20-year-olds, plucked from their ordinary lives and hijacked into a nightmare, have to invent themselves as well as their stories. Jensen and Strunk get into a fight over a jackknife; Jensen smashes Strunk's nose so badly he needs to be hospitalized. When Strunk returns a few days later, Jensen begins to worry that he may use one of innumerable opportunities to kill him. He breaks his own nose with his pistol butt; now they're even.
Not only are they even, but they are buddies. They sign a contract that if either is so badly wounded as to become a wheelchair case, the other will kill him. Strunk's leg is blown off; Jensen comes over to comfort him. "Don't kill me," Strunk begs. "Swear you won't kill me." Jensen swears. All this is told, in fact, in two successive stories, the first called "Enemies," the second "Friends." The two, in this unhinging light, are synonymous.
A patrol goes up to a highland to stay a week and listen for enemy activity. It is foggy up there; listen is all they can do. And they begin to hear music: string quartets, choirs, the tinkling glasses and chatter of a cocktail party. One of the patrol describes it to the narrator:
The rock—it's talking. And the fog too, and the grass and the goddamn mongooses. Everything talks. The trees talk politics, the monkeys talk religion. The whole country. Vietnam. The place talks. It talks. Understand? Nam—it truly talks.
They radio for air strikes; all night long, the empty hill is hit with napalm, incendiaries, fragmentation bombs. It is irrational and utterly rational at the same time. To these farm and city boys, all explanations of why they are there are no less imaginary than the hills talking.
There is beastliness, and there are odd, invented moralities. The platoon goes through a village where an air strike has silenced everything. Only a 14-year-old girl is left, dancing crazily outside the house where her dead parents lie. That night, one of the soldiers does an obscene burlesque of her movements. "Dance right," another screams at him.
The most extraordinary piece in the collection is the first, which bears its title. "What They Carried" begins as nothing but a list, it seems. It is a list of everything that the members of a platoon carry, and the weight of each item.
Knives, heat tabs, wristwatches, dog tags, mosquito repellent, chewing gum, candy, salt tablets, packets of Koolade, C-rations, water and so on—15 to 20 pounds. Helmets—5 pounds. Boots—2.1 pounds. Rifle—8.2 pounds, loaded. Extra ammunition, 14 pounds. Grenade launcher, 5.9 pounds. Twenty-five grenades—16 pounds. A machine gun—23 pounds. A medic's kit—20 pounds. And then a host of individual choices: foot powder, canned peaches, comic books, condoms, dope, a Bible, a slingshot, brass knuckles. And much more.
O'Brien goes on and on, gradually extending the verb "to carry."
The soldiers carry love letters, photos, fungus, lice and each other when wounded. They carry lucky charms and the thoughts they cling to. They carry grief, terror, confusion. And gradually, a haunting picture is assembled.
They are as heavily equipped as Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Each item has its purpose: for killing, protecting, preserving. Yet all the purposes add up to a grotesque purposelessness. These soldiers are not so much warriors as carriers of war, pack mules on which firepower is placed and among which a terrible mortality is inflicted. This absurd cargo of purposes they carry through a land and a war from which they are utterly divorced, and through which they move in a state between dream and nightmare.
It is an ultimate, indelible image of war in our time, and in time to come.

The Boston Museum of Science had a traveling show with a diorama like this about elephants, mastodons, and mammoths. Did the exhibit travel to Seattle and this is where you got this shot? Hah, LOL
curtmill22: I really enjoy my RX100 but the thought of having a built in neutral density filter with the LX3 makes me want to have two pocket cameras. LOL. Curt on Cape Cod
Oops, I have the LX3. I am lusting for the LX7 with its built in ND filter.
I really enjoy my RX100 but the thought of having a built in neutral density filter with the LX3 makes me want to have two pocket cameras. LOL. Curt on Cape Cod
Cy Cheze: Here's a pitch for the underdog LX7:
The control ring is limited to aperture selection, but it has dedicated wheels for shutter and ND filter. Each ratchets precisely. The RX100 ring lurches about. The LX7 offers time lapse, which the others do not. Its aperture is fastest across the full zoom range. One can suppress digital zoom in video, which one cannot with the Sony. Plus, it is intermitently offered at a $299 price, which is hard to beat. Can the RX100 be worth more than twice that? It too will sell for less when the RX200 (or the Samsung KX100!) draw nigh. But people who elect to spend more money, or get a tatoo, find ingenious ways to be cheerful they did.
You might be right but I just could not help myself. There it was and I had to have it. I have "mostly" concentrated on MFT for the last couple of years and mostly Panny for my compacts (LX3 etc which I loved). But there you go! The RX100 is such an easy choice when I want to slip a camera into my pocket in the evening. The recent office xmas party is a good example. I got great photos. But it is a difficult camera to love as it is fiddly and a lot of menu button presses to get what I want. But oh those pictures. Curt on Cape Cod
John Usa: This new version does open a CR2 file taken with my T4i with its included Adobe Raw 7.1.
It then can save it only to a DNG file format.
What Conchita is saying (if I dare speak forConchita) is to open in raw, make changes or not and then have the raw file open in elements editor and then you can save in any format available to Elements. At least that is how it worked in Elements 10 and all the ones before 10. Curt on Cape Cod

blasting, and the resulting space is packed with fill material. With drift and fill mining, after completion of the first drift, a second drift is driven adjacent to the first. Additional drifts are developed until the ore zone is mined out to its full width, after which a second cut is started on top of the first cut.
Shrinkage stoping is a mining method that can be used for steeply dipping orebodies. Ore is extracted in horizontal slices, starting at the stope bottoms and advancing upward. Most of the blasted rock remains in the stope to provide a working platform for the miner drilling holes in the roof, and and it also serves to keep the stope walls stable. Because blasting increases the volume of the rock by about 60 percent, some 40 percent of the ore is drawn at the bottom during stoping in order to maintain a working space between the top of the blasted rock and the roof. The remaining ore is removed after blasting has reached the upper limit of the stope. Shrinkage stoping allows mining that is very selective, but one disadvantage is that there is a delayed return on capital investment because most of the ore stays underground until mining of the stope is completed.
Room and pillar mining is commonly done in flat or gently dipping ore-bodies. Room and pillar mining accesses an orebody by horizontal drilling advancing along a multifaced front, forming empty rooms behind the producing front. "Pillars" of rock are left between the rooms for support to keep the roof from caving. The usual result is a regular pattern of rooms and pillars, with their relative size representing a compromise between maintaining the stability of the rock mass and extracting as much of the ore as possible. In some room and pillar mines, once the rooms are mined out the pillars can be mined, starting at the farthest point, allowing the roof to collapse. This allows the ore contained in the pillars to be accessed.
Block caving is a large-scale mining method that is used to mine massive orebodies with specific characteristics that enable gravity to do part of the work. Preparation for block caving requires long-range planning and extensive initial development involving a complex system of excavations beneath the orebody. An "undercut" is mined under the orebody, and cavities are excavated to serve as repositories for caving rock to be collected. The orebody is drilled and blasted above the undercut, and ore is removed through the accessway. Because of the characteristics of the orebody, material above the first blast area falls into the collection areas. As ore is removed from the collection areas, subsequent caving provides steady availability of ore. Extensive rock bolting and concrete lining are required to keep the openings intact, and if caving stops and removal of ore continues, a large void may form that can have the potential for a sudden and massive collapse.
Ground Control in Underground Mining
Ground control—the prevention of rock collapse into a mined cavity—is an integral part of mine design to ensure a safe underground working operation.
