Well the only thing that I can see being welcomed is one or two units the S2 armies have to offer because FoTS dominates in everything really except for bows, so I see no point in using a S2 build. The only time I see one being played really is just for fun and a challenge, but you would be only hurting yourself in a competitive match that you wanna win using a S2 army vs a FoTS army.
Oh, odd, so far I seen a friend use S2(no dlc units) and continuously/mostly defeat FOTS armies because he says FOTS armies are very small, its not so hard to handle. Though could be because of most players aren't that good.
The skill of people that play this game is rather low. :/
Comparing price and stats of FoTS units to S2 units FoTS wins hands down, anyone should be able to see that and that tells you CA never had any intention of balancing them to go against each other on an even scale.
Yeah in my experience a lot of FOTS players are not the best. Like I said, it is entirely possible to win against them. But FOTS gun armies definitely have a leg up, expecially if the player knows what they are doing.
What I havent seen actually is an FOTS melee rush build vs a Shogun 2 build. I have a feeling FOTS might still have an advantage because Shogitai and Katana Kachi have such high stats, although I believe they are a good bit more expensive than Shogun 2 units as well.
The Shogitai at same cost vs a S2 Nodachi or Katana Sam will win always because the Shogitai have 150 men per unit while ND and kata sams have just 120 men per unit. You only need 3 Shogitai in a melee build anyway because 3 of them with atleast 6 strong cav backed up by a couple of line gunners will roll over any S2 build. FoTS mounted gunners are what really do it in for the S2 builds most of time though.
Yeah but the morale on the fots melee units is horrible, they cost more, they don't get the kind of unit abilities that the s2 rush armies get and their best units, the shogetai are capped at 3 - yari ki are also capped at 4. s2 bows will thump fots ones and outrange all the gun units in a FOTS skirmish build and the rush units available to an s2 player are much cheaper and can be fielded in greater numbers (samurai units mixed with yari ashigaru, loan swords etc). s2 retainers and general abilities are also for the most part better than the FOTS ones.
So far as I am concerned its down to whoever uses their army best on the day.
Last edited by Marshal Suchet; 04-27-2012 at 05:31 AM.
I wouldn't call anywhere 12 to 14 morale on the shogitai horrible and yes that's all you need just 3 of them because the katana kachi aren't needed. And like I said shogitai vs a nodachi or katana sam at the same cost even with their retainers the shogitai will win always 1vs1.
Yari Ki are capped at 4 but that hardly matters because you don't need 4 of them anyway... I never play with 4 of them only 3 tops. Like I said it's the gun cav of fots that really ruin most of the s2 builds.
And yes I already stated that s2 bows are better and anyone can see that but that hardly matters much when fots dominates in the cav and guns and their melee is abit better compared to s2 units. Don't forget those bows of vetted s2 are expensive and it really depends on the situation if they are able to pay out their worth or not... in most cases I've seen they don't or only break even.
A s2 player can bring the numbers but numbers won't win you the match alone, especially when you're up against a fots player that overall has stronger units for their cost compared to the s2 units.
You can't deny the fact that fots has alot more better costing units compared to s2 units and that alone is a nice advantage. If two players who are pretty much equally skilled played against each other many matches in a row with one using fots and the other using s2 my money would always go on the fots player winning most of the matches.

The search retrieves just a few key fields that we display to the user so they can pick one Thing to work on. Then we go back and get the whole Thing.

because sometimes I feel there are too many classes out there in our project. Why do you feel this way? What would be your alternative?

Logan – Utah State University broke ground on a new building called the Bioproducts Scale-Up Facility. This facility seeks to maximize the research-to-commercialization potential of Utah Science Technology and Research professor Randy Lewis's work on the creation of synthetic spider silk.
The 70,000-square-foot high bay facility will house large fermentation equipment allowing researchers to take the next step in producing large volumes of spider silk protein. The building is the result of the work currently being done by USU's USTAR faculty and students in the Synthetic Biomanufacturing Institute.
"It's a significant milestone for USU to have a new material like spider silk emerge from our research enterprise," said Scott Hinton, director of the Synthetic Biomanufacturing Institute. "In this new facility, our faculty and students will have an opportunity to further explore, grow and develop this intriguing new material for a wide variety of commercial applications."
Lewis and his team began its research and production of synthetic spider silk proteins in silk worms, alfalfa and transgenic goats. The group is now ready to move to commercial scale production of the proteins within fermentation tanks. Spider silk is stronger than Kevlar, more elastic than Nylon and has thermal conductivity properties comparable to copper. Applications for spider silk vary from fibers like strings, ropes and tire treads to medical scaffolding, coatings, sealants and 3D printing, liquid gels and cosmetics.
Araknitek, Inc., a USU spin-off company, was created to commercialize products that emerge from scientific investigations of synthetic spider silk proteins.
"We look forward to working with the innovative team at Araknitek as they make great strides in the commercialization of spider silk," said Robert Behunin, Utah State's vice president for advancement and commercialization. "The company has already secured licenses to a broad portfolio of intellectual property based on and related to synthetic spider silk technology. We look forward to seeing their growth."
In its initial business development efforts Araknitek will provide bulk quantities of synthetic spider silk protein and access to proprietary production processes to its customers with licenses to make and sell market specific materials, devices or goods.

Brad's Dates in South Africa
For the final episodes of this season of "The Bachelor," Brad visited South Africa, where our Bachelor and the girls experienced nature in its purest form while chasing love.
Getting to South Africa can be a travel marathon. Let South African Tourism and South Africa Airways take care of you. Brad traveled from New York to Johannesburg and arrived at Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport in a mere 15 hours. Despite the length of the flight, South African Airways was there to accommodate his needs and make sure his flight was nothing short of cloud 9.
Once in South Africa, Brad and the girls stayed in Kruger Park on the edge of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. You haven't felt a true kinship with nature until you've been amongst lions, giraffes, elephants and a multitude of wildlife.
Luckily, the 1933 Lodge, an offshoot of the main hub of The Lion Sands Private Game Reserve, offers comforting amenities amidst the wildest place on earth. The 1933 Lodge is unlike any hotel room you've ever stayed in. There's nothing quite like an outdoor shower–something you have to experience in person! Lodges are fully equipped with all the amenities of a high class hotel room.
If you're ready for a little heart-pounding, adrenaline inducing action, then a game drive is for you! Go on safari with a tour guide and get closer to wildlife than you would in any zoo. Lions were a few feet away on Brad and Chantal's safari – just imagine the animals you will see!
If you're Brad, bringing an elephant to a date is one way to get the girl. For anyone else, it's a thrill ride that is indescribable. Seeing animals may not be enough for some, which is why Lion Sands Private Game Reserve offers their famed "Elephant Whispers" encounter. Ride through the bush on Elephants that have been rescued and live safely in a predator-free environment.
If you're looking to make the day even more romantic, there's always the Chalkley Treehouse–an oasis above the tree line and far away from everything.
Excitement doesn't stop with elephant rides or safaris in South Africa. Take a ride through the Blyde River Canyon (second in size only to The Grand Canyon) and stop at God's Window. This majestic lookout point was aptly named for its stunning and serene view of South Africa.
Nature has been waiting for you in South Africa, Are you ready?

'Time to focus on business of fashion'Comment on this story
Johannesburg - A modern and aspirational capital of art, fashion and design.
This is how Africa Fashion International (AFI) describes the Newtown precinct – home to the 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week next month.
The fashion week launch took place at the Wits Art Museum in Braamfontein on Monday.
The focus this year is on the business of fashion.
AFI executive chairwoman Dr Precious Moloi-Motsepe said they had launched two initiatives – Fast Track and Next Generation – which aim to provide up-and-coming designers with business opportunities.
At the launch, three new designers displayed their garments. They were all part of the Fast Track programme in which professional designers such as David Tlale and Thula Sindi actedas mentors.
Wetive Nkosi, 25, was mentored by top designer Spero Villioti. \
Nkosi has a master's degree in industrial sociology but has followed her passion for fashion.
"It was an interesting time for me (the mentoring programme) but it was a bit of a challenge to be mentored by Spero. He is amazing. I really enjoyed the process and he has shown me how to think out of the box," she said.
Tlale, who mentored designer Kgothatso Tsotetsi, said the programme was a great idea.
"When I started out, no one was available to help me. Being able to impart the things I have learnt is great," Tlale said.
He said the programme included showing the designers how to pick designs and fabric selection.
Nkosi and Masike will showcase their designs alongside their mentors at Fashion Week between March 7 and 9 at Mary Fitzgerald Square in Newtown. - The Star

We're in Day 4 of our April storm. Overnight, snow moved into the eastern counties and dropped more than six inches of fresh powder. There are many trees down and the weight of that new snow is sagging power lines. The good news to salvage: winds are not powerful, yet (Marshall, MN being one exception).
There is still a Winter Storm Warning in effect until 1 p.m. this afternoon. We'll break down your forecast by region, since so much is going on.
Several pieces of this April storm have come through this area. One of the final chunks is the heavy snow aided by an upper-level low. This is the cold side of the storm. We're tracking this northern part as it pivots back towards Brookings, Huron and Watertown. That means the counties north of Sioux Falls will see sustained snowfall later into the morning. When I measured snow in Sioux Falls before the 5:00 a.m. hour, we had between 5.5-7".
The system will slowly make its way northeast, but light snow could linger through this evening. Tomorrow should be dry but cloudy but we're still in an active period. Another system comes in this weekend and that brings a chance of rain. There are more chances of moisture by the middle of next week.
The storm is rotating and is pushing back to the WEST. That means prolonged snowfall, on top of already heavy totals in the Aberdeen area. While the rest of the storm is closing in on the East Coast, the northern part is not moving much. Lighter snow could last through tonight and parts of tomorrow in our far northeastern counties. Clouds will remain in place and the wind is likely to pick up tomorrow and Saturday. We're tracking this weekend system for a chance of wintry mix on Sunday. There isn't much of a spring-like feel in the 7-day forecast. There are more chances of moisture into next week.
Central and West:
More than two feet of wet and heavy snow continue to sit on the prairie and in the Hills. This is a big deal for ranchers during calving season. Winds were not a major issue overnight. The winds will pick back up later this evening into tomorrow. Calmer but cloudy air is sticking around for today but most will remain dry. Tomorrow more moisture arrives, with scattered showers (of a wintry mix).
With warmer air arriving this weekend, that chance turns into rain. Scattered chances of mix remain in the 7-day and there is a chance of more moisture each of the next few days.

We would like to reveal to you today, one of the best kept secrets of Greece up until the 1980s – the picturesque town of Chania on Crete island. This small town is nestled perfectly between the sea and the mountains and has a lovely architecture to boot. Really, there are no reasons why you shouldn't come here.
The real flavor of this ancient town lies in the labyrinth of narrow streets that takes the tourist on a head-spinning trip around the Venetian-Turkish inspired buildings which still bear the marks of the heavy bombings the town underwent during the Second World War. In fact, much of the appeal of the town is due to this state of disrepair which is present on some of the buildings that have since been turned into shops or restaurants.
And speaking of restaurants, you'll find a wide range of menus and there are even some with decent prices, especially around the old harbor, which means yacht charter sailors are privileged. As far as shopping goes, there are nice jewelry, leather good and ceramics, rugs and other handicraft available for purchase in Chania. But, as always, it will take some time to find tasteful, authentic souvenirs for back home, so get ready for some hunting.
After dark, most people will go hunting for a crowded bar or a pub or even a club, but if you really want to experience the nighttime charm of yacht charter Chania, try to explore the old streets by taking a ride on a horse carriage or enjoying a quiet drink at one of the cafes and bars in the old quay.
If you really go out and explore you might discover some really nice places that are also unique, like the Tzamia-Krystalla café, which also doubles up as gallery and a performance venue. And, finally, there are also some movie houses scattered around town, that show films outside or inside in their original language, not a bad way of spending a peaceful night out.
In summer, Chania also hosts a festival dedicated to culture which features drama, symphonic music, jazz, dance and traditional songs. Just come from June to September and you're bound to catch any of these shows at the local theaters.

Seattle voters have an extra reason to turn out for this year's Aug. 5 primary election: whether or not to create a city park district to help fund parks and recreation programs.
That ballot measure, known as Proposition 1, will be one of the questions facing city voters in ballots being mailed this week. Returned ballots must be postmarked by Aug. 5.
Around the region and state, Washington voters will choose their preferences in primaries for all 10 of the state's U.S. House seats, as well as the entire state House and half the state Senate. Snohomish County voters will also vote in the primary for choices to fill the one-year unexpired term of former County Executive Aaron Reardon, who resigned last year.
The top two candidates in all races move on to the general election, regardless of party affiliation.
- WWU cancels classes after racial threats on social media
- Seahawks bringing back RB Bryce Brown, adding depth with Marshawn Lynch's situation uncertain

David Ammons, communications director with the Secretary of State's Office, said he predicts voter turnout will be average for a midterm primary, about 40 percent.
Voters must pay postage on ballots they mail in. No postage is needed for ballots put in drop boxes found at schools, libraries and other government buildings.
Four statewide elections for state Supreme Court will go straight to the November general election, according to Ammons.

2 Reviews: Opening Day Fringe Blitz Part II (She Has a Name & Late Night Improv)
Calgary Fringe Festival Shows Reviewed Here:
She Has Name and Late Night With the Improv Guild (see previous post for reviews of The Ballad of Herbie Cox, The Bro Sho and 2 to Django)
My choices for the opening day of the Fringe Festival were everything you could want for the Theatre Smorgasbord that is the annual Calgary Fringe Festival. They were all really different from each other and I liked them all. The Fringe is perfect for Geminis like me who like lots of variety and tend to have short attention span.
Here are reviews for the last two shows I saw to cap Friday night's Fringe blitz, a couple of mostly non-musical entries:
She Has a Name (Lantern Church Sanctuary)
She Has a Name is the heart-wrenching story of a 15-year-old girl, known only as #18 (Evelyn Chew), who is taken from her family in Cambodia after her father dies, to work in one of the many brothels in Bangkok. It's told from the vantage-point of the neophyte lawyer-social worker Jason (Carl Kennedy) who tries to get her to testify against the sex-trafficking pimp (cleverly doubled by Kennedy with the aid of sunglasses and a dramatic change of body language) who brought her there. This is an extraordinarily powerful and equally hard show to watch – not your typical Fringe fare. Both Chew and Kennedy are riveting performers and draw you into their struggles from the moment you meet them till the gruesome end (not much of spoiler alert here – you know from the get-go that this story can't end well – kind of like a darker version of Miss Saigon). They are backed up by a "Greek chorus" of voices/phantoms composed of Jason's wife (Alysa van Haastert), Jason's boss (Glenda Warkentin) and the pimp's second-in-command (Sienna Howell-Holden) and occasionally #18 herself. If I hadn't been there with friends or gone to the late-night improv show afterwards, I probably would have cried all the way home. I still have shivers just thinking about it. She Has a Name is a partnership between Alberta's Burnt Thicket Theatre and raisetheirvoice,a group that uses the arts and "practical acts of mercy" to address the plight of exploited people around the world, and money made will be used to support their endeavours. Although the Lantern Church is big, go early if you want to get a good seat. If you go to today's 3PM performance, they will be following the show with a panel discussion with director Stephen Waldschmidt, Playwright Andrew Kooman and others about the show and the world-wide sex trade.
And now for something completely different…
Late Night With the Improv Guild (Lantern Church Basement)
Late Night With the Improv Guild plays at 11 PM every night, and is where the Fringe artists, volunteers and staff kick back at the end of the day in a casual environment for an hour of light entertainment, $3 beer and mingling (and presumably more $3 beer) until the wee hours or until they kick them out. This is the only free show at the Fringe and is a good chance to get a little sample of some of the shows playing this week. Fun improv bits get the audience involved (many of whom are performers and thus get a chance to promote their shows as well) and are interspersed with pre-arranged short segments from different Fringe shows every night. Last night included bits of Polar Shift, The Good The Bad and the Stupid and the Last Man on Earth. The Improv Guild also has a show up (Naked Improv), so this gives you a peek at what they're about if you are considering taking that in. The show changes nightly, so it's something you can take in over and over. I had a good time and just might go again if I happen to be kicking around the grounds at that hour, and don't have to go to work the next day.
Now off to work the Lunchbox Theatre booth at Inglewood's Sunfest and more shows tonight. Check back for more reviews tomorrow.
The Calgary Fringe Festival runs from August 3 to August 11. Tickets are $10-$15 per show plus your $5 Fringe button and most shows are about an hour long. For schedules and online tickets (well worth it for popular shows), go to Calgary Fringe Festival.

Like many innovations, the air conditioner got its toehold in the market when it was embraced by an elite group of "early adopters" -- all of whom were entrepreneurs. AC was invented by Willis Haviland Carrier, founder of Carrier Corp., who reportedly had an epiphany about how to cool air while standing on a fog-shrouded train platform. He sold his first machines to a printer who wanted to rid his pressroom of paper-swelling humidity and to two candy companies that were vexed by melting chocolate during the summer. In its ninth year, 1924, Carrier's focus switched from cooling production facilities to cooling consumers. The company's "centrifugal chillers" proved welcome in a Detroit bargain basement notorious for mass fainting during sales. Then a Houston movie theater bought AC and became a refuge on stifling nights. Ticket sales soared. In the years to come, theaters nationwide would popularize air conditioning among the American public.

Every son and daughter knows what special day it is today. And if you're scratching your head, shame on you. It's Mother's Day! The one day a year when moms everywhere should be able to nag without reproach and be pampered from dusk till dawn.
To celebrate Mama's Day, The Underwear Expert has put together a list of "10 Underwear Models to Take Home to Mom." After all, what better gift to give the woman that raised you than a great-looking guy on your arm? Not only will you make her proud of the fact that her son can score such a handsome man, you'll be giving her some innocent eye-candy!
These 10 guys are practically an assembly line of Ken dolls. Their smooth, muscled bodies have no visible tattoos. Their baby-faces are both perky and clean-shaven. And their smiles say, "I love you Mom!" much better than any cheap flowers could.
Of course, if you brought one of these beefy guy's home to Mom with a beautiful bouquet…well, that's just icing on the cake.
This is another in a series of articles by The Underwear Expert.

Is there a way to model the data from a LDAP server as Entitybean like how we tie up an Entitybean to reflect a database table in the deployment descriptor. Does any EJB Vendor or LDAP server vendor provide this feature? If there is no direct mechanism is there any other way to create bean from LDAP data?

It was in June 2011 when an audience filled with technology's elite was gathered to see whether Microsoft's next version of Windows had the chops to take on Apple.
But Julie Larson-Green, who just yesterday was put in charge of all software and hardware for Windows, wasn't nervous about the product's debut at the D conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. She had been working on Windows 8 since the summer of 2009, and her team had tested the top-secret program enough to feel "confident but not cavalier," she said in an interview last month.
No, Larson-Green was worried about whether the prototype tablet she was using for the first time ever to show off Windows 8 would even work. Even calling it a tablet at that point would have been generous. The device had a plexiglass touch-screen (the same one that later became the screen for Microsoft's Surface tablet) with wires coming out of it. It was held together with duct tape.
Larson-Green, a frequent Microsoft presenter who said she is still always nervous about going on stage, wasn't sure anything would happen when she swiped her finger across the screen. The device was still early in development and the company didn't have any real hardware.
It was a minor miracle that the device even made it to Southern California, past airport security. Too fragile to be shipped, or even put into luggage, the task of transporting the kludged-together tablet fell to Jensen Harris, a trusted lieutenant of Larson-Green's. The two spend so much time together that they finish each other's sentences. Put them in different rooms and ask a series of questions and you will get the same answers, like a software engineer version of "The Newlywed Game," Larson-Green said.
Harris spent the flight with the device positioned between his legs to make sure it arrived in one piece. The sight of a large man with his knees already pressed against the seat in front of him holding something with wires poking out of it earned Harris some "very questionable looks" from other passengers, he said. All the while, Harris sat there thinking, "I've got the future of Microsoft between my legs," he said.
Now it's Larson-Green who has the future of Windows in her hands.

While traveling Highway 62-180 to El Paso, many people are thinking about the beautiful scenery near the mountains and not about what might have taken place in the area in the mid 1800s.
A solitary gravesite remains under the watchful eye of El Capitan on private ranch land not far from the boundary of Guadalupe Mountains National Park. The occupant of this grave, shrouded by vegetation, is Jose Maria Polancio, an infantry guide for Capt. James Longstreet of the 8th Infantry.
The out-of-sight grave is in close proximity to the east side of the well-traveled highway as it transects Guadalupe Canyon.
Following the end of the Mexican-American War and recovery from a wound, Longstreet served in frontier duty in Texas, performing scouting missions. First at Ft. Martin Scott near Fredericksburg and then Fort Bliss in El Paso.
Polancio was killed by the native people in February 1855. Not much is known about his life before he became an infantry guide, but rumor has it he was of Mexican and Apache descent.
It wasn't the circumstances surrounding his death that were so unusual. What was intriguing were the events that followed. He was found dead with seven arrows in his naked body by one of the infantry men. His body was later found again after being dug up, scalped, stripped of clothing and shot with arrows again.
Following Polancio's death, Longstreet wrote a lengthy letter to the colonel in command dated Feb. 17, 1855, explaining the fate of his guide. The letter was sent to the Department of New Mexico. The contents of the letter are summarized and quoted below.
Jan. 24, 1855
"My orders were to operate between the Hueco Tanks and the Guadalupe Mountains and cooperate, if occasion offered, with Capt. Ewell or Major Simonson, or both," wrote Longstreet.
"On the 24th ult. (month prior) I marched with Companies I & K of this post, total strength 54, including one musician, Capt. Holloway and Lt. Follett," he wrote, noting Holloway and Follett were also officers of the command.
Jan. 25, 1855
Wagons pulled by teams of mules were heavily loaded down. After traveling two hours on bad roads, Longstreet met Polancio for the first time.
Jan. 26, 1855
On the morning of the 26th, Polancio and two non-commissioned officers mounted horses and rode ahead as an advance party.
Jan. 27-28, 1855
Longstreet had to repair places in the road so his mules could pull the wagons. His mules began to fail that day and again the next day.
Jan. 29, 1855
During the afternoon of the 29th, he discovered smoke in the direction of the Guadalupe Mountains or beyond. Late afternoon one of the officers in the advance party came back and reported a large trail met and followed the road.
"It appeared to be the trail of about 40 cattle driven by eight or 10 Indians," Longstreet wrote, adding the guide told him he thought the party was at the water source ahead of them.
"I made arrangements for attacking them at once; and with the hope of surprising them I marched down to the water by moonlight, leaving wagons behind," he wrote, noting his disappointment that the Indians had gone in the direction of the mountains.
Polancio still thought the Indians were only a few miles away. Longstreet ordered Lt. Follett and 12 non-commissioned officers and men, along with Polancio, to follow the trail to find out at first light the whereabouts of the Indians. Longstreet did not want them to attack, if at all possible, until he could join them.
About 10 p.m. that night, Longstreet received word that the patrol had followed the Indians' trail into the mountains about 6 miles from the water source. Longstreet sent food and water along with orders. Again, he wanted the men to stay put until he joined them.
Jan. 30, 1955
Longstreet began the task of preparing rations for six days and filling canteens with water. He left camp in the middle of the night hoping to reach the mountains by first light.
"We found, of course, that the Indians had taken the roughest parts of the mountains, frequently crossing them where footmen could scarcely climb," Longstreet wrote.
By nightfall the men were out of water. Longstreet wanted to march by moonlight in search of water, however, the men were exhausted. They rested in a pinery on top of one of the highest mountains in the range.
"I called up the guide and asked him the prospects of getting water on the trail," he wrote. "He said that I might find it in 24 miles but that he was not certain that I would.
"I at once determined to turn back at daylight in the morning and sent my mounted men back at once to have water sent out in the canteens to meet us," he wrote, adding his intention was to move around the mountains and take up the Indians' trail in hopes of finding the cattle.
Jan. 31, 1855
Not long after leaving camp, Longstreet and the men came to a deep, sandy area. In a short time the mules tired, giving completely out. He had to use other mules to haul the wagon back to camp, traveling only 12 miles that day.
Feb. 1, 1855
This day was a repeat of the day before. Mules tiring, giving out and other mules sent back for the wagons. They traveled only 9 miles this day. Camp was set up at the first spring in the Guadalupe Mountains.
"Here I abandoned all hope of being able to reach the trail at all and resolved to wait for Capt. Ewell or Major Simonson," Longstreet wrote.
Polancio went missing that afternoon and some of the men thought the Indians had killed him. Others just thought he left and returned home.
"I had given him a scolding the day before for leaving the two mounted men and the men who were with him," Longstreet wrote, adding he supposed he frightened Polancio and he had run off.
Feb. 2-4, 1855
The morning of Feb. 2, Longstreet ordered a sergeant and six men to track the guide's trail and see if they could determine what really happened to him. The sergeant later reported he found his tracks and it appeared Polancio had turned at the point of the mountain and come in.
Late afternoon, one of the men came to Longstreet's tent and reported that the naked body of Polancio was lying on the mountain side near the spring.
"Lt. Follett and I went up and found the dead body stripped and pierced with seven arrow wounds. I had it taken to camp and buried," Longstreet wrote. "We could arrive at no satisfactory conclusion as to how the Indians got upon him. They must have ambushed him, I supposed."
Feb. 5, 1855
This day Longstreet sent out a party of men to look for a more suitable place to camp. Wood was scarce at the present camp. That afternoon the men returned reporting they had found a spring, plenty of timber and grass some 7 miles ahead.
Feb. 6-8, 1855
Longstreet moved his company to the area with a spring and plenty of timber.
Feb. 9-10, 1855
Major Simonson and his party rode into Longstreet's camp. He immediately shared with Simonson all of the Indian news he had.
"A party of his that came through my old camp reported that the Indians had been to my camp after I left it and taken up the body of the guide, scalped it and robbed it of the buffalo robe that was around it and shot fresh arrows into it," wrote Longstreet. "I urged the major to take up and follow the trail that I had been obliged to abandon.
"I assured him that there was scarcely a doubt but he would be able to overtake and punish the Indians," he wrote.
Longstreet tried to get Simonson and his party to follow the Indians' trail into the mountains where he was sure they all were holed up. He offered rations and water. Simonson, at first, expressed a willingness to cooperate, however, in the end he decided he would rather go to Delaware Creek if he did not cross another trail before arriving there.
"So I reloaded my wagons, took my leave of the Major and took up the march for my post," he wrote.
"I am, Sir, very respectfully, Your Most Obt. Servant. James Longstreet. Capt. 8th Inf. 3t. Major," Longstreet wrote, signing off on his letter to the colonel at the post.
The thin limestone marker at the head of Polancio's grave in Guadalupe Canyon reads: "Jose Maria Polancio -- Guide -- Killed Feb. -- 1855 -- By Indians."
A story that has circulated for years is that this headstone is not the original one, but rather one put up by the private landowner after something happened to the original. This fact has not yet been verified.

Poetry Friday, a linkup which I'm hosting today, is here to kick my blogging butt. This is my first post all month! Can you tell I've been busy? My new job is great but also non-stop so when I get home I don't really want to be on the computer.
It turns out to be a great week for me to host Poetry Friday because in my role as an education reporter, I just attended a youth poetry slam at a local afterschool program. I witnessed some awesomely talented Lancaster city kids laying down rhymes about serious topics like imperfection and imperfection, and silly ones, too, like a poem about drinking too much tea before swimming. The latter one cleverly ended with the line, "Now the pool is just an 'ool' because I took a pee."
Eighth grader Ayleene Martinez won the slam with poems about her generation and dreams.
The slam was part of a spoken word program called "We Rock the Mic" at The Mix at Arbor Place. I had visited one of their classes last week to learn about it and interview some students ahead of the slam. I also wound up sharing a poem of my own with them, and got asked to do it again today. It was scary for me, so I know it took a lot of courage for the kids to do it in front of their own peers.
In honor of those kids, the poem I'm sharing for Poetry Friday is a spoken word piece, "Knock Knock" by Daniel Beaty. I learned about this poem when I read the picture book version of it last November. Bryan Collier won the Coretta Scott King Illustration Award for the book, and I reviewed it for my newspaper last month.
Now it's your turn! What poem are you sharing with us this week? Click on the frog's face to add your link.

Research interests
My research interests are concerned with issues revolving around contemporary culture: concepts of high/low art and how these feed off one another; the rapid rate of cultural and technological change which leads to obsolescence, ephemerality and an increasing fluidity of meaning, all figure highly within this practice.
Mirroring the dissolving boundaries in contemporary culture and academic disciplines, my work has straddled fine arts, design, computing, performance and writing as a practitioner, teacher and working within industry. At the core of my research practice is the idea that these seemingly opposing models of creative practice in which one either works for oneself, for an education institution or for a client are of course not mutually exclusive.
Digital arts necessarily transcend traditional borders and require that I engage with a wide variety of cultural issues from an equally broad range of disciplines. In particular I am currently involved in exploration of multi-channel sound pieces, exploration of the borders between the public/private that contemporary media forms problematise draw and psychogeographical research from the likes of performance artists Blast Theory or the dutch dotWalk experiment. I draw on developments that have grown from the avant garde musical composition from the thirties onwards with Cage, Musique Concrete, Soundscape, Plunderphonics and more recently turntablism and circuit bending.
Other research
I am currently enrolled on a PhD at the University of Aarhus, Denmark. The working title is: An Informational Critique of Noise and Glitch Aesthetics

Have any of you fellow Danish reservation holders gotten firm quotes on insurance (price/company)?
I am also wondering how the actual registration of the car will pan out - any thoughts on that?
On home charging, are you planning to have a special charging unit established or do you plan to run the charging from the standard electricity net?
NEMA 14-50 is my plan. Cheap and easy. Bullet proof
Montgom: gl;hf using nema in denmark... :)
Henrik: the eu charger will support 230V 3-phase, so I'm planning on 230V 32A 3-phase which is in slight excess of 12kW.
@glaserud: sounds like the way to go.
At the risk of exposing my electricity incompetence, what will the 230V 32A require in terms of hardware?
As I'm from Norway, I'll speak to what I'm going to need.
I have a 3-phase feed in to my house, and a 3-phase 16amp fuse that leads to my garage.
So for me, I'll have to upgrade the 16-amp to a 32-amp and draw new leads from the fuse box to the garage. Not sure what contacts I'll need, but it's either the round type CEE contact or the square one.
I might run a larger amp feed if I can, but then I probably have to upgrade my in-feed.
if you are satisfied with the 8 hour loading time for the 85kW battery than the iinstallation is ok and Tesla will provide the adapter
for the faster load with 32A you will need a new installation to your garage and also a loading station with Type 2 mode 3 plug and a cable
there ia a paper from Tesla
Norbert: Thanks!
That info is a bit different than what I was told by the Tesla representative. I guess they'll make it clearer closerbto launch.
hm... Here's a thing I don't get. Why do I need an external type 2 charging station for 230Vx32Ax3-phase? I thought the S came with internal 2x10kW chargers, and could just plug in directly?
Regarding insurance, I've got qoutes ranging from 5.000DKK (Tryg) to 15.000DKK (Gjensidige).
None of them had prices for the P85 yet.
It seemed that Tryg pricing was based on
Tesla S Model 2 82bhp!? 60kW and
Tesla S Model 3 116bhp!? 85kW and
So maybe they reconsider the pricing when they learn that its closer to and above 300bhp...
Well all offers lasted a month, and the car won't arrive until late this year, so I guess all of the above is subject to change...
Call them and ask for prices, and let them know that there might be a market here. And when you do, ask for prices on all three models :)
I've also received quotes from Tryg. They now have the right bhp for the 60 and 85 - still no quotes for the P85.
The quotes I got (I'm categorized as "superelitebilist") were 13.000 and 17.000 DKK respectively.
Hopefully there will be more awareness/price competition when we get closer to delivery...
That's a sligt price bump... but probably more realistic than the prices I got.
I talked to Gjensidige yesterday. They only have one MS in the system , 362bhp eg. S85.
For me as an existing elite driver the quote was DKK 13.051 annually.
I spoke to the Tesla guys after my test drive yesterday (what a ride :)). They mentioned that the roadster is only registered as 54bhp (continuous), and if the same principle is applied to e.g. the P85, then it will only register at 115bhp. In other words, you might want to wait a bit for quotes.
Hi, posted this in the Europe section of the Forum yesterday.
It is correct that the insurance companies calculates the rates on continuous horse powers. The formula is quite simple.
Take the battery size (85000 Watt) and divide by 735 (which equals an english metric horsepower). Then you will get 116 CHP - which is far from the Peak Horsepowers that the Model S delivers.
I got a quote from Tryg at DKK 7776 also as an elite driver (age 40+) + 20 years driving with no incidents. Price based on location outside Copenhagen and with a self risk on dkk 6300. A quite fair price and actually lower than my current C350.
This sounds really encouraging. I assume this means the P85 would be insured at the same level as the regular 85? It seems our insurance records would be identical.
I tried to follow your link but got an "access denied" (I am a reservation holder and logged in as such)...?

Hiya folks,
I'm considering making a trip out of going to Nelson's Fireworks in Dallas around the 24th of June to pick up a relatively small order (less than $1,000) by Pyro Universe standards.
Since it's going to be a bit of a drive, around seven to eight hours for me, I was wondering if anyone else has had experience there, and could give me an idea if driving up to this location is as good a deal as it sounds. I did talk to Mr. Nelson on the phone a few times, he said that his prices were less than wholesale on occasion because he imports so much product that he can afford to undercut a bit, and that his prices certainly beat most consumer prices available to me. He also mentioned that a vast majority of his artillery shells were made in Beihai, and even generic products like the Dragon Black Box were of a higher quality than is generally available. Mr. Nelson was quite knowledgeable, and a real gentleman, taking time to answer my questions on the phone. I'd just like a second verification on some of the things he told me, not that I don't believe him, but it is a big trip, caveat emptor.
So in a nutshell, has anyone been here before, and is it as good as it seems?

Mitt Romney swing state blitz includes Jacksonville stop
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- There's a new ad on the airways right now that gives credit to Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney for saving the Olympics and turning the games around in 2002.
Click here to watch the ad.
In the commercial, Kristi Yamaguchi, the figure skater who won a gold medal in the 1992 games and was an ambassador for the 2002 games says, "As an athlete, you're training your whole life for that one moment at the Olympics. Mitt Romney brought a huge sense of hope."
The ad singles out the 2002 games, which were a difficult time for the Olympics.
A narrator in the commercial says, "But America's Winter Olympics were mired in scandal and deficits. They turned to Mitt Romney.
Fraser Bullock says "He faced a $400 million budget deficit and turned that around to a hundred million dollar surplus."
John Libby of Jacksonville is the President of American Public Dialogue. He says make no mistake about it when it comes to what Mitt Romney did for the Olympics that year, he did a lot.
Libby says, "Everything looked like it was coming unhinged and Mitt Romney was asked to come in and help apparently because the Olympics were considered to have been successful there in Salt Lake City. I guess he did what was asked of him."
Rod Sullivan is a professor for Florida Coastal School of Law. He says there could be other problems with the ad though.
Restore Our Future is responsible for the commercial not the Romney campaign. The pro-Obama Super PAC Priorities USA were asked to take down an ad featuring footage of the 2002 Olympics because the U.S. Olympics Committee says Olympic footage cannot be used in any political ad whether it's positive or negative.
Sullivan says, "Let's take the shot of the American flag on ice. If that was done at the Olympics, it is copyrighted by the U.S. Olympic Committee. If it was done at some other venue and purported to be an Olympic event, that doesn't violate anybody's copyright."
Restore Our Future is the main Super PAC supporting the Republican presidential candidate and so far it hasn't been asked to pull the ad. The creators of the ad may have been able to get around the ban by using photos of the 2002 games.
The commercial is airing in 11 battleground states, including Florida.

I asked her if she could see herself without me and she said yes. What more do I need to know? At that point everything else is irrelevant. I know what I need to know and my life goes on.Quote:
