The Battle of the Somme started in July 1st 1916. It lasted until November 1916. For many people, the Battle of the Somme was the battle that symbolised the horrors of warfare in World War One; this one battle had a marked effect on overall casualty figures and seemed to epitomise the futility of trench warfare.
For many years those who led the British campaign have received a lot of criticism for the way the Battle of the Somme was fought – especially Douglas Haig. This criticism was based on the appalling casualty figures suffered by the British and the French. By the end of the battle, the British Army had suffered 420,000 casualties including nearly 60,000 on the first day alone. The French lost 200,000 men and the Germans nearly 500,000.
Ironically, going over the top at the Somme was the first taste of battle many of these men had, as many were part of "Kitchener's Volunteer Army" persuaded to volunteer by posters showing Lord Kitchener himself summoning these men to arms to show their patriotism.
Why was the battle fought?
For a number of months the French had been taking severe losses at Verdun – to the east of Paris. To relieve the French, the Allied High Command decided to attack the Germans to the north of Verdun therefore requiring the Germans to move some of their men away from the Verdun battlefield thus relieving the French. After the war, Sir William Robertson, Chief of the Imperial General Staff, explained what this strategy was:
Remembering the dissatisfaction by ministers at the end of 1915, because the operations had not come up to their expectations, the General Staff took the precaution to make quite clear beforehand the nature of success which the Somme campaign might yield. The necessity of relieving pressure on the French Army at Verdun remains, and is more urgent than ever. This is, therefore, the first objective to be obtained by the combined British and French offensive. The second objective is to inflict as heavy losses as possible upon the German armies.
Ironically, the head of the French Army, General Foch, believed that the attack in the Somme would achieve little – this view was shared by some leading British commanders such as General Henry Rawlinson. However, orders from the army's political masters in London and Paris ensured that the battle would take place.
Just how backward military thinking was then is shown by the fact that the British put a regiment of cavalry on standby when the attack started to exploit the hole that would be created by a devastating infantry attack. British military faith was still being placed on cavalry attacks in 1916 when the nature of war in the previous two years would have clearly indicated that cavalry was no longer viable. This shows how conservative military thinking was during this war.
The battle at the Somme started with a weeklong artillery bombardment of the German lines. 1,738,000 shells were fired at the Germans. The logic behind this was so that the artillery guns would destroy the German trenches and barbed wire placed in front of the trenches. The use of artillery was heavily supported by Field Marshall Haig:
The enemy's position to be attacked was of a very considerable character, situated on high, undulating tract of ground. (They had) deep trenches….bomb proof shelters……wire entanglements forty yards broad often as thick as a man's finger. Defences of this nature could only be attacked with the prospect of success after careful artillery preparation
In fact, the Germans had deep dugouts for their men and all they had to do when the bombardment started was to move these men into the relative safety of the deep dugouts. When the bombardment stopped, the Germans would have known that this would have been the signal for an infantry advance. They moved from the safety of their dugouts and manned their machine guns to face the British and French.
The British soldiers advanced across a 25-mile front.
By the end of the battle, in November 1916, the British had lost 420,000, the French lost nearly 200,000 men and the Germans 500,000. The Allied forces had advanced along a thirty-mile strip that was seven miles deep at its maximum.
Lord Kitchener was a supporter of the theory of attrition – that eventually you would grind down your enemy and they would have to yield. He saw the military success of the battle as all-important. However, it did have dire political and social consequences in Britain. Many spoke of the "lost generation". Many people found it difficult to justify the near 88,000 Allied men lost for every one mile gained in the advance.
However, during the battle, media information on the battle was less than accurate. This was written by John Irvine of the "Daily Express" on July 3rd 1916 – though his report would have been scutinised by the British military and government and he could only have used what information the military gave him.
"A perceptible slackening of our fire soon after seven was the first indication given to us that our gallant soldiers were about to leap from their trenches and advance against the enemy. Non-combatants, of course, were not permitted to witness this spectacle, but I am informed that the vigour and eagerness of the first assault were worthy of the best tradition of the British Army. We had not to wait long for news, and it was wholly satisfactory and encouraging. The message received at ten o'clock ran something like this: "On a front of twenty miles north and south of the Somme, we and our French allies have advanced and taken the German first line of trenches. We are attacking vigourously Fricourt, la Boiselle and Mametz. German prisoners are surrendering freely, and a good many already fallen into our hands."
"The Daily Chronicle" published a similar report on the battle on July 3rd:
At about 7.30 o'clock this morning a vigourous attack was launched by the British Army. The front extends over some 20 miles north of the Somme. The assault was preceded by a terrific bombardment, lasting about an hour and a half. It is too early to as yet give anything but the barest particulars, as the fighting is developing in intensity, but the British troops have already occupied the German front line. Many prisoners have already fallen into our hands, and as far as can be ascertained our casualties have not been heavy.
However, those who fought there knew what really happened – if they survived:
The next morning (July 2nd) we gunners surveyed the dreadful scene in front of us……it became clear that the Germans always had a commanding view of No Man's Land. (The British) attack had been brutally repulsed. Hundreds of dead were strung out like wreckage washed up to a high water-mark. Quite as many died on the enemy wire as on the ground, like fish caught in the net. They hung there in grotesque postures. Some looked as if they were praying; they had died on their knees and the wire had prevented their fall. Machine gun fire had done its terrible work.
George Coppard, machine gunner at the Battle of the Somme.
In the course of the battle, 51 Victoria Crosses were won by British soldiers. 31 were won by NCO's and 20 by officers. Of these 51 medals, 17 were awarded posthumously – 10 to NCO's and 7 to officers.

I've been working on a homebrew world for a table-top game I plan to run with some friends. My attempts at creating maps have left me... unsatisfied, to put it nicely. So, I turn to you all, who have infinitely more skill and experience at this sort of thing than I.
I am actually looking for two maps: one of the game-world itself, and a more detailed map of the main area the game will be set within.
The area the majority of the game will take place is approximately 10,000 square miles - give or take a couple of thousand. I will leave determining an adequate scale for such a map in the hands of those who are more capable than I.
The area in question will be located in an area of high strategic and commercial importance, with a number of other political powers being in very close proximity to the area, and a few natural boarders. The intent I'm looking for is to get something that will have this central area highly contested. I have more details concerning the geography which I feel would be better suited to discuss via PM.
I'm looking for the map to be eye-appealing, first and foremost, while being practical.
I found Tetrajak's continent of Irshy (http://www.cartographersguild.com/at...t-preview8.jpg) to be very close to what I'm looking for style-wise.
Quality & Size:
I would like the quality to simply be... nice. I guess the word I'd be looking for would be the "semi-professional" or a step or two below that.
As for the size and whatnot, I am again a bit on the clueless side of what to ask for. Ideally, I'd like to be able to print the full map on an 8x11 piece of paper, but I know that doing so would likely break up a lot of the details and make it a lower-resolution, which is something I'd rather not sacrifice if it can be helped.
I'm more willing to have to make multiple print-outs than I am to have it at a resolution that's too small to be useful.
Time Constraints:
Ideally, I'd like this to be done by mid-to-late December, if possible.
I realize that some people love to do this for free, and if you're one of those people then please contact me. I also realize that I am requesting a service which takes time to do, so I am not expecting a freebie. Payment can be done through Google-checkout or something similar. Unfortunately, Paypal and I do no get along, and despite many efforts, I have not been able to reconcile the issue, and I am unable to use it. I'm willing to pay approximately 30-50 US dollars for the service. This is, of course, negotiable.
Contact Details:
You may PM me here to get in contact with me if you're interested. More details about the geography and whatnot will be given to the person who is able to do the job.
Thank you all!

Interesting read: KU's Perkins meets with football players to discuss concerns about Mangino - KansasCity.com
Go Cubs Go!
Saw that this morning. <Fat Joke>. Too bad Lew Perkins is heading this up, as he only deals in crooked.
that is just kind of a little tease article. there is no way they get rid of him unless there is some serious non-football related problems. dude got them to the orange bowl.
If it's true, going from Big 12 coach of the year to being on the hot seat in two years is quite a quick turnaround.
Guys on WHB 810 mentioned this this morning. They kind of indicated that they think Perkins is looking for a reason to dunp Mangino...
You know what, Stewie, if you don't like it, go on the internet and complain. -Brian Griffin
Somebody's gotta go back and get a ----load of dimes. -Taggart
Concerns about Mangino?????
Did he eat one of his players?
Crazy, the guy takes KU from crap to the Orange Bowl Champions and now they are "Concerned"? I hope they fire Mangino so ISU can count KU as a win, each and every year for the next decade.
Boy if they're already ready to toss him onto the skillet, wait until next season.
How quickly fans forget...

This. They are in for a fun season next year if they thought this year sucked.
Maybe its health concerns. That dudes heart has to be ready to implode any minute.

Did you read the article? It says that the meeting was to discuss an incident involving Mangino and a player. It also sounds like there is an organized group of former player's patents ready to come forward with things as well. I think this goes beyond wins and losses for this year.
Believe it or not, I think his seat could be getting warm despite the success they have had the last couple years. They are one play away from being winless in the Big 12 this year, and I think it is pretty likely they don't make a bowl game. Even more shocking is the fact that all of their offensive talent is still here, next year was the year many were expecting them to take a big step back. If they take a big step back from a 5-7 or 6-6 season, that Orange Bowl will seem like a distant memory.
Didn't they just give him an big extension/raise last year?
If the hot seat is related to the on-field stuff, I say it's rather premature. Kansas has fallen down this year, but the guy got them to a place most never felt KU football would ever see.
If it's something else, so be it.
If you take out his orange bowl year, his record isn't very good. Once Bill Young left it seemed the D lost it's edge and now the offense is struggling. What I have heard from my KU people is that they are investigating an incident with a player of players and that the entire team is revolting against him for benching Reising. Just speculation however.
People on KU boards are already talking about there new coach.

Wow, sounds messy.
To be just 2 years away from a BCS Orange Bowl victory to having some parents of players asking for a meeting to complain -- sucks to be you big boy.
Mangino was not a Perkins guy, but I think KU would be crazy to get rid of him.
Either way, all good for ISU to have coaching issues at CU and KU. Only a matter of time before Pelini does something stupid. MU will remain tough under Pinkel with their recruiting advantages. Who knows if Snyder can be successful at his age.
There is an opportunity here for ISU to be relevant in the Big 12 North for years.

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Chances are you've heard the Grammy-winning song "Get Lucky."
But chances are you have never heard the Daft Punk song the way some people did at the Olympics.
During Friday's opening ceremonies in Sochi, Russia, the Red Army Choir MVD performed "Get Lucky."
And it wasn't the only Daft Punk "appearance" at the games so far. A couple of days later, an organist thumped out the song at the arena where the Norway men's hockey team was practicing.
And hip-hop is getting some love in the ice and snow, too. As fans entered the snowboarding slopestyle course on Saturday, they heard an instrumental version of Ice T's old-school hip-hop tune, "New Jack Hustler."

NBC-Ya Later: U.S. Network Does Best to Ruin Olympics
Final thoughts on Olympics 2012's sights and (mostly) sounds (if they weren't edited out)
First let me say that I'm not what you would call a huge Olympics fan. This isn't an essay on sports. I'll tune in occasionally for things like basketball, soccer and Brazilian women's beach volleyball (LOTS of Brazilian women's beach volleyball), but it's hardly Must-See-TV for me every four years. If I had more patience, I'd probably watch more — but researching how the scoring works in water polo (and where they hide their horses) kind of takes the fun out of things. I do love the drama of sports. I grew up the music nerd who didn't like sports because it was for jocks. My stance softened thanks to the 1999 Cincinnati Reds. Living just a few blocks away from the old Cinergy Field, I probably went to 50 home games that year — paid five bucks for a cheap "Top 6" seat (before they'd stop you from moving closer if there were open seats, which there usually were). Some of the dramatics of that season (cut short by a devastating one game playoff loss to the Mets) re-made me into the sports fan I was as a 10 year old. The way drama in sports moved me reminded me (and still does) of the way music moves me. Though quite different experiences (sports is "thrill of victory/agony of defeat" exciting, while music moves me to my very core, caresses my heart, soothes my pain, gets me pumped up, etc.), they both give me a somewhat similar tingle in my brain. As this year's Olympics progressed, I began to notice a lot of complaints about NBC's "tape delayed" coverage, whereby the network would hold back all the key, shining (mostly American athlete-oriented) moments for its prime-time broadcast. Of course, as pretty much every person with the ability to communicate online noted, this meant hearing that, say, Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt just made Olympic history … then turning on NBC to hear "tune in at 9 p.m. to find out how!" Anyone with access to a radio, TV with channels other than NBC, a computer, smartphone or an excitable Olympics superfan BFF usually found out what happened up to 10 hours ahead of time. In some ways, I felt bad for the piling-on of NBC's Olympic events coverage. I mean, they did broadcast hours upon hours of live footage from London on their multiple Olympics platforms (iPad apps, Android apps, websites, additional channels, etc.). But some people are busy, work strenuous jobs (without access to the aforementioned fancy devices) and want to come home, have some dinner, maybe smoke a doobie and THEN see what happened earlier at the Olympics. I'd be curious if anyone was actually able to avoid all spoilers — every time someone won a medal, I received a "news update" alert on my smartphone or would find out instantly on a British news website or within my Twitter or Facebook feed. So I cut NBC the slightest of slack for fouling up some of the tape-delayed broadcast decisions (but there was no excuse for promoting Today show interviews with "new gold medalists" right before viewers actually saw said gold medalist win the top prize, something NBC did multiple times). If you really wanted to see an event live, you could do so.The same can be said for the Closing Ceremonies, which streamed live on the Olympics many media platforms. But when it came time for editing it all down to a tight two-and-a-half hour or so prime-time broadcast, NBC had to cut some material out of the Closing Ceremony to make it fit and leave room for McDonald's and Coke commercials. During the Opening Ceremonies, NBC shamefully cut away to show Ryan Seacrest interview Michael Phelps instead of airing the ceremony's tribute to the 52 victims of the July 7, 2005, terrorist attacks in London. There's editing for time and then there's just rude ethnocentrism. If New York City hosted the Olympics and the BBC cut away from the broadcast to show Simon Cowell interview legendary British track cyclist Chris Hoy, I wouldn't be shocked if the U.S. immediately began discussions about when to start the bombing of London. Thankfully, nothing quite that insensitive occurred during the Closing Ceremonies.The Closing Ceremonies piqued my interest the most of all of the Olympic happenings, mostly because I'm a proud Anglophile when it comes to music. Of my favorite artists ever, I'd be shocked if half weren't from the U.K. (if not more). So I was fairly excited when I heard that the Closing Ceremonies would be titled "A Symphony of British Music" (look, you can already buy a CD) and focus primarily on England's greatest export, alongside comedy (which was spotlighted cleverly in both the opening and closing events) and Cadbury Creme Eggs. (I was only "fairly" excited because these things can often be cheesier than a Super Bowl halftime show with Up With People) I had a slightly busy Sunday (well, busy enough that I couldn't watch stuff on TV or online all day), so I checked a handful of performances from the Olympics live stream, figuring I'd be able to catch the whole thing later. There were some great moments. The John Lennon/"Imagine" salute was touching in a pure, unforced and restrained manner (not much else was, but that's not what ceremonial, once-in-the-lifetime, music-driven ragers should be about, especially in London). It was interesting to see athletes from other countries singing along to Oasis' biggest hit, "Wonderwall," in seemingly their own languages (not sure how Noel Gallagher felt about his little bro's band Beady Eye playing it, though; Noel did turn down a chance to participate).The unfussy cover of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" was serviceable, but gets bonus points for bridging a generational gap by bringing together hot new singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran and RIchard Jones from young Brit band The Feeling with PInk Floyd drummer Nick Mason and Genesis guitarist Mike Rutherford. Meanwhile, the only thing missing from Eric Idle's perfectly nonsensical performance of "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" was a chorus line of singers nailed to crucifixes (a la Monty Python's Life of Brian, the film in which it first appeared). And, cheesy as it may have been, Freddie Mercury (in video projection/hologram-ish form) leading the stadium through a chant proved he is STILL the best frontman in Rock, even in death.There were also, as is to be excepted, several cringe worthy moments. The Spice Girls were a big deal for a few minutes, but did they deserve to perform more than one song at a global event like the Olympics? What exactly did they give the world besides a lady-friend for one of the planet's (former) greatest soccer players? I know, I know — it was a "rare" reunion (though it feels like they have "rare reunions" ever six months or so). I kept hoping for a five-olde-timey-taxi pile-up as they zoomed around the performance area at seemingly dangerous speeds. Singer Jessie J must now be bigger than Princess Diana in the U.K., because she was able to perform multiple songs as well, like her big hit "Price Tag," showing the U.K.'s contribution to crappy Pop music, and "We Will Rock You" with Roger Taylor and Brian May, presumably because Paul Rodgers either wasn't available, passed away recently or refused to wear a nude, bedazzled unitard. Ms. J also jammed with the artists during the segment where the London Olympics showed the world that there are indeed black people in the U.K., though Taio Cruz and Tinie Tempah are essentially carbon-copies of crappy American R&B/Pop singer/rappers. They did do a fun, mercifully short cover of the Bee Gees's "You Should Be Dancing," which probably pumped up views of the Bee Gees' Wikipedia page thanks to all of us who could have sworn the trio was from Australia (they were born in the U.K., moved to Australia, then back to the England where their career kicked off in earnest … in case you don't get Wikipedia). There were a few glaring omissions from the parade of British Music stars, but the ceremony director gets a pass for that. How do you fit a century of music into three hours? Still, I could have done with seeing The Cure play (anything but "Killing an Arab") or New Order do a Joy Division/New Order mini-set or even Def Leppard (at least!) representing the influential New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement in lieu of Russell Brand singing a Willy Wonka tune and miming "I Am the Walrus." And, hey, remember how Britain co-invented Punk Rock? Beside awkwardly copping "London Calling" as a sort of unofficial anthem (before people apparently listened to the lyrics) and a mention of designer Vivienne Westwood, Punk Rock wasn't very big in the U.K., I guess. And Fatboy Slim apparently invented the British rave scene and U.K. dance music (while living inside a giant inflatable octopus). Finally, in the spirit of mixing British humor and music, it would have been hilarious if George Michael would have appeared with former Wham! mate Andrew Ridgeley clasped around his leg ("I let go once — never again!"). The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Sex Pistols, Kate Bush and others reportedly turned down invites to be involved in the ceremony, though at least most were given props during the ceremony (Bowie's "Fashion" soundtracked the tribute to British fashion through the years, while a remix of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" was used as the music for a dazzling dance number spotlighting the tune). The biggest blunder of the Closing Ceremonies, though, came once again courtesy of NBC's prime time broadcast.I'm an editor and I understand that sometimes you can't fit every single thing you want into the tiny box given to you; tough calls must be made sometimes. But what network exec's 14-year-old niece was given control over the U.S. broadcast's final cut on NBC? Whoever made the tough decisions made a few seriously bad ones and the internet has been screaming about how much it SUCKED ever since.The Kate Bush-soundtracked performance was cut, but I get that. Kate's not a household name in the States. I caught rockers Muse — who wrote and recorded the official song of this year's Olympics, "Survival" — and can forgive that one too — their performance was a bit lackluster and the song has an oddly ominous tone, like something Mussolini would have commissioned had the Olympics ever come to Italy during his reign. Ray Davies' performance might have been spared if he'd playing "You Really Got Me" or some other U.S. FM radio staple. But Davies could play nothing but his gorgeous ode to London, "Waterloo Sunset," because it was the perfect time and place for the beloved British hit to be performed. (Click ahead to the 1:35 mark to see it, until NBC removes it)When I realized NBC cut "Waterloo Sunset," that's when my head-cocked bemusement turned to "WTF!" annoyance. A peek at the internet revealed I was not alone (I think the Davies cut was the hardest for most true Rock fans to take). That is, until the end of the broadcast. The absolute worst cut from NBC's primetime broadcast was the deletion of The Who, the perfect British band to provide a grand finale. If you were watching live, you saw the extinguishing of the Olympic flame and then, while Bob Costas was allowed to blather on about nothing over the allotted air time a day or two earlier, causing the show to "run over," Costas signed off with a very quick, "We'll be back from Olympic Stadium in about an hour for the London closing party featuring The Who. But stay tuned now for a full episode of Animal Practice, the new NBC comedy presented commercial free."The network switched over to Monkey Doctor (or whatever it's called) and then followed it with local news. THEN The Who's impressive eight-minute medley — touching on proudly anthemic and quite British tunes like "My Generation" — was allegedly aired, an hour after prime-time programming had ended. Pete, Roger and their ringers kicked things off with "Baba O'Reily," with its perfectly dramatic, almost always spine-tingling opening keyboard riff, which would have made a perfect segue way from the flame being put out. Instead — Hospitals for Monkeys (or whatever it was called), commercial free!I left NBC as soon as Marcus Monkeypants MD started and ultimately fell asleep, mumbling to myself about how I'll never watch another episode of America's Got Talent or something like that. Then I spent today looking up what I missed on YouTube and other sites … when available. There was some good footage posted for a few minutes, but NBC and the Olympics yanked them faster than Fred Willard in a movie theater. The nbcolympics.com site DID have The Who segment up by this evening. But they called "Baba O'Riley" by its not-actual-title, "Teenage Wasteland." See — 14-year-olds are running NBC! Ultimately, it's not that big of a deal — today there was another sad, tragic, inexplicable shooting in public near Texas A&M University. We STILL have not seen what Paul Ryan's abs look like. And NBC says the Olympic games were the most watched in history; one ad exec went so far as to suggest the high ratings in the U.S. were BECAUSE of the weird tape-delay approach. It created excitement (not hair-pulling-out frustration?). So keep it in perspective and start getting ready for the 2016 Olympic games in Brazil. I'm already plotting how to watch it all as it should be watched — on a live stream, on Brazilian TV or in person (CityBeat, I'm volunteering my services). Because you just know NBC is going to shoot 90% of it from "above the waist." Some of those amazing booties over there are definitely NSF-NBC.

I have always said that the best map for your campaign is the map that you create yourself. We have an amazing amount of tutorials as well as the people who are more than willing to share their knowledge, all of which will get you to creating that map much faster than you think. If, however, you REALLY doubt what I just said, you could look through the finished maps and once you find some you like you could always ask the artist if you could use it. FYI, you will need to have posted 5 times before you can message anyone on this site. Failing that, we do have a Mapping Request forum (down near the bottom of the main page) where you can post your request to commission someone to create the map. I strongly suggest that you read the sticky at the top of that forum if you want some proper replies though.
I wish you luck with your project, which ever way you decide to go, and Welcome to The Guild, The Mappiest Place on the Web

Video: Gluten-Free Pizza!
MCLEAN, Va. (WUSA9)-- It is a dietary trend being embraced by more and more Americans: going gluten-free. Some people are sensitive or allergic to gluten, the protein in wheat, barley and rye. The most severe end of that spectrum is Celiac Disease, and people with this disorder need to avoid gluten entirely. The FDA recently issued new standards food products need to meet to be marketed as "gluten-free."
But even people who don't have Celiac Disease are embracing this lifestyle in greater numbers. Restaurants, magazines, grocery stores... all are moving to embrace the trend.
"We used to get three or four customers a day. Now, we get twelve to fifteen, looking for a gluten-free menu," says executive chef Eddie Ishaq of Wildfire Restaurant in Tyson's Galleria.
The chef says not only did they add gluten-free recipes, they altered existing ones slightly to meet the criteria, including Wildfire's signature chopped salad.
"There could be one ingredient out of twelve that's holding it back from being gluten-free. So we take that out and make it gluten-free," explains Ishaq.
Other items on the special gluten-free menu at Wildfire include mac and cheese, shrimp pasta, pizza and gluten-free cookies. All are made separately from other foods with gluten-free pastas and flours to prevent cross-contamination.
The growing popularity of the trend is reflected in the success of Delight Gluten-Free Magazine, which its executive editor Vanessa Weisbrod says is seeing a surge in readers, while other publications are struggling.
Weisbrod says it's easier to keep a gluten-free lifestyle than ever before. "There are (a lot of) things that people might think wouldn't exist for those living a gluten-free lifestyle...like pop tarts, biscuits, pie crust and bagel chips even. There's just such a variety of products on the market today," she says.
Watch a demonstration of Wildfire's Chef Eddie Isaq whip up a gluten-free pizza with WUSA9's Anita Brikman by clicking the video link on the left side of this article.

Born Jackson James Bullock on Feb. 9, 1955 in Casper, WY, he was raised in a Southern Baptist home in Odessa, TX.

Eventually, he left the university without graduating, and headed for Dallas, where he worked in dinner theater. He eventually saved enough money from his job at a truck stop to move to Hollywood, where he toiled as a waiter and courier while performing stand-up comedy at night.

wow.... just wow.
I think pcad just got added to my ignore list. This thread went from nice to jump-off-a-cliff insane reaallly quick.
Here's a pic of my motorcycle (06' Triumph Thruxton) to help bring things back to bikes:
I've put 6500 miles on it since last may (lotsa opportunities to ride in the south) and have replaced the tires w/new Avon's since this pic.

Give me some credit. I'm not dead yet. That's a miracle, all things considered. I even ride into Manhattan a few times a year.
Motorcycle threads are like Idiot Fly Paper.
If I don't alienate one new BFer each day, I feel I've let somebody down.
My assistant Larry rides a 2007 Triumph T-100 with modified pipes, bars, mirrors, lights, air filter, a headlamp visor and a pedestrian slicer. To that I can only add:
motorcycles are just bicycles for lazy people
So the bikes that do have self-canceling turn signals use a combination of distance traveled and time. The signals stay on until the set distance has been traveled and the timer has expired. So when riding slowly, the signal will cancel after a certain distance; when riding fast, after a certain time. Yamaha pioneered this scheme in their '76 model street bikes and that's what's been used by various mmanufacturers since.
I find that it is a bit of a hassle. I have to put at least as much thought into ensuring that the signal is still on after I merge onto the freeway and then across a couple lanes of traffic as I would to turn off the signal when I was done merging. But I can deal with it, it is not the most anoying thing about my BMW. None of my other bikes have it so I have to remember which bike I am on and which one needs manual cancelling. Not having the signal on when I want it on is worse than signalling when I don't want to. Of course any motorcyclist who depends on cars seeing his turn signal and avoiding him is probably not going to live long.
None of the cars I have driven have been able to cencel the turn signal when I make a lane change. The steering wheel doesn't turn far enough to engage the cancel switch. So I am wondering Pcad, do you regularly drive down the road with your blinkers on after making a lane change?
Fortunately the turn directional thing has become rather automatic, I don't take my thumb off it until I flick it off now.
That whole shifting thing must play havoc with your muscular neurological systems.
Holy cow, the right hand has to roll off the throttle, the left hand must pull in the clutch lever, the left foot must lift or press, and then . Wow! You are only about half way done with the process.

You do sound like one of those idiots who think they know everything about motorcycling. Uh-huh. We'll inscribe that on your gravestone there genius.

My Blog
This is what I know about motorcycling so far:
• Don't overcook the turns.
• Be careful in the rain.
• Watch out for the cars, you are invisible to them.
• If they should happen to see you they would just as soon flatten you.
• Society figures that if you're on a motorcycle and you get killed, what the F did you expect?
• It's not if you'll put the bike down but when and will you survive the experience.
So what did I miss? By the way, they only covered parts of this in the two MSF courses I took. They also seemed to think ABS was the Man's Plot to Wrest Control of Our Motorcycles from Us. I told them to take it up with BMW, Honda, Yamaha and all the other major manufacturers.
By the way, even though I ride only 3000 miles annually (on the motorcycle, much more than that on the bicycle) I do think most motorcyclists ride less than that. It's a weekend warrior culture.

When I tick CalDAV options in iSync connector in Preferences Pane, it hangs up a while on Syncing data and then finished (for info adress book synchro works fine).
If I open iCal, I have a new entry in my calendars but nothing in it, if I try to open it, it states no calendars found URL setup for it is https://mail-1.01.com:443/principals...firstname.lastname@example.com/
Does it look fine ? what can be wrong ? I use hosted Zimbra servers from 01.com.

Good news! The carrots and tomatoes team up to make this tasty soup an excellent source of vitamin A. And as a bonus, the vegetables and beans are also a good source of fiber.

I made this recipe, but as is my normal way of cooking I used it as a base for what I had on hand in the fridge...white beans previously cooked and frozen, fresh carrots and celery,frozen broccholi, peas & carrots, cooked chicken, frozen broccholi, and a handful of cole slaw mix. I seasoned it with creol seasoning to taste.

1852 California State Census Now On Ancestry.com
- next ›
- 500 of 735
- ‹ previous
California's 1849 state constitution dictated that a census be taken in 1852, in 1855, and every 10 years after that. The 1852 census was the only one taken, but it proved to be an important count.
Now Available
The results of this census can now be accessed on Ancestry.com at any branch of the San Mateo County Library (in the Research section of our website).
The gold rush would bring about 300,000 people to California between 1848 and 1854. The 1850 U.S. Federal Census tallied California's population at 92,597. The 1852 California State Census count came in at 260,949 (neither census would include the entire Native American population).
Not only did the 1852 State Census provide a record of an additional 150,000 people, but records from three counties from the 1850 Federal Census - Contra Costa, San Francisco, and Santa Clara - that have since been lost or destroyed. In addition, the accuracy of the 1850 Federal Census was called into some question because of the rapid growth and mobility of the population at the time as miners poured into the state.
How to View the Census
To access this census you will need to go in person to a branch of the San Mateo County Library. At a library computer, click on Online Resources or Research, and enter Ancestry Library Edition. Use the Search pulldown menu to select Census And Voter Lists, then scroll down in the Individual Census Records to California State Census, 1852.
San Mateo County Specific?
Looking for an 1852 inhabitant of San Mateo County? Search under San Francisco and Santa Cruz counties. San Mateo County did not exist as a separate entity until 1856.

Question for Mike/Guy or Eastman staff.
I know that Mike had a knee replacement recently and was curious as to how he is doing? I am facing the same issue with my knee, but do not want to quit hiking the mountains. I would rather deal with the pain rather than having to quit chasing critters.
Was it a good thing having it done?
Has anybody else had to face this?

Arizona State is one of the most successful college football programs in the Southwest. The Sun Devils play in the PAC-12 Conference against the very best competition on the West Coast. Arizona State first wielded a football team in 1897, and have won over 16 conference championships, spanning 3 different conferences. The school competes with Arizona for the Territorial Cup, which is the oldest trophy in college football history. There have been many historic Arizona State players, including all time greats Darren Woodson, Terrell Suggs, Charley Taylor, and Mike Haynes. Each and every gameday is crowded with thousands of fans all wearing Arizona State Gold, singing "Maroon and Gold," and being unbelievably loud. Fans are called to the stadium with the historic Victory Bell, and are amped up by "Sparky," one of the most memorable mascots in college football. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Arizona State Sun Devils football tickets.
The Arizona State Sun Devils enter the 2015 season coming off one of their best seasons in years. The Sun Devils finished just behind rival Arizona for the PAC-12 South division crown, and will look to take that next step in 2015. The key to the Sun Devils 2015 success will likely be running back D.J. Foster. Foster accounted for more than 1,700 all-purpose yards last season and will be the go to player in the Sun Devils offense. The Sun Devils defense will rely on a veteran secondary to pick up the slack for a young but talented defensive line. Arizona State looks to be on the rise in the PAC-12 South, and should compete for a division crown yet again in 2015. Top games on the 2015 Arizona State Sun Devils schedule are against Texas A&M, USC, Oregon, and Arizona.
Check out our Arizona State Sun Devils Season Preview History page for previews of previous Sun Devils seasons.
The Arizona State Sun Devils play their home games at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona. Sun Devil stadium has been home to the Sun Devils since 1958 and seats over 70,000 fans. Hearing the Victory Bell toll to call fans into the stadium is an unforgettable experience, with fans hoping to hear it rung again after the Sun Devils Win. Sun Devils fans all wear Gold, and the team takes part in the "Devil Walk" from Wells Fargo Arena to the Sun Devil Stadium 2 hours and 15 minutes before the game starts. The Arizona State Sun Devils home bench is on the Sun Devil Stadium sideline with sections 27-33. Sun Devil Stadium parking information is covered in our Sun Devils event guide.
Arizona Wildcats
When Sun Devils players and fans think of rivals it always comes down to one team, Arizona. Known as "The Duel in the Desert," the rivalry with Arizona is played for the Territorial Cup trophy, which is the oldest trophy in college football, dating back to 1899. The two schools have met over 85 times, spanning 3 difference conferences. This rivalry has evolved into one of the fiercest in the Southwest, with the Territorial Cup exchanging hands almost every year. This is the must watch game in the Grand Canyon State.
TicketCity offers a big selection of Arizona State Sun Devils football tickets which include some of the lowest priced seats on the market. Arizona State tickets fluctuate based on demand and opponent. Marquee PAC-12 opponents like USC, UCLA, and Oregon can drive up home game prices. While cheap tickets are more plentiful for unranked, non-conference opponents. Those early season games may offer best opportunity to purchase Arizona State tickets near face value.
The Sun Devils 2016-2017 football schedule is listed as soon as it is announced by the PAC-12. Arizona State plays in the PAC-12 South Division, which means games against USC, UCLA, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. Game times are announced by the PAC-12 as soon as the TV schedule is set. Arizona State's home opener is typically one of the most popular games. They also play Arizona in "The Duel in the Desert." If you are looking for Sun Devils news or scores, then visit our partners at CBS Sports. They are also a good source for the official Arizona State Sun Devils team roster.
Arizona State Sun Devils season tickets are available to buy until kickoff of their home opener. Check our listings above or call us if you would like to purchase Arizona State football season tickets. Let us know if you want a particular section at Sun Devil Stadium.
The game with Arizona is easily the most anticipated matchup every year for the Sun Devils. The State of Arizona's two largest schools competing for the ultimate inner-state bragging rights is something special, and the atmosphere surround this game is as good as anywhere in the PAC-12.
The ringing of Arizona State's Victory Bell is one of the more chilling experiences in college football. The bell is played before the game to call fans into the stadium, and again after a win. The bell is rung 1 time for each point the Sun Devils score. The bell itself is believed to date back to 1879, and has been a staple of Sun Devils games since 1960.

WHEELING - After Brooke's Angela Staffelino swatted each of Linsly's first three shots and the Cadets trailed 7-1 midway through the first quarter Tuesday night, Linsly coach Erica Hall decided it was time for something else.
She took it back five and got the ball to freshman Morgan Brunner to see if things would work any better from the there.
They did.

Linsly's Morgan Brunner (25) shoots over the blocking hand of Brooke's Angela Staffileno (54).
Brunner hit seven 3-pointers and finished with a career-high 33 points as the Cadets finished off a sweep of the Bruins, 53-33, at Stifel Field House.
''We worked a lot in practice the other day getting screens for Morgan,'' Hall said. ''Obviously people pay attention to her on our team. We did a really good job of playing as a team in order to get those open shots and she was hitting them.''
No kidding.
Though she rarely missed from anywhere - Brunner was 6 of 9 from the free-throw line - it wasn't as if this was a glorified shootaround. Brooke had some hands in some faces throughout the entire barrage.
''(Brunner) hasn't had a person not on her in the two games we've played,'' Brooke coach Ryan Scherich said. ''We played a box-and-1 and we triangle-and-2'd 'em (Tuesday) with the (JJ) Jackson girl. There has was not one minute in two games we've played that we've not had one person on that girl constantly.''
It was Brunner's four-point play - rarity in a quarter in which both teams combine for 18 points - that sparked the Cadets. It erased the Linsly deficit with two minutes left in the first, and they never trailed again.
Brunner's sixth and seventh 3-pointers came back-to-back and lifted the lead from 36-27 to 42-27 early in the fourth quarter.
When Linsly (7-7) wasn't benefiting from the Brunner bombs, it was cleaning up on second-chance points.
''Offensive rebounding, I think, was our strong point,'' Hall said, pointing to the dirty work girls like Rosey Raths did off the bench.
Even with the 6-foot-1 Staffelino paroling the middle, the Cadets scored 10 points in the paint and 10 more on leaners inside of 10 feet.
''We're never going to win unless we rebound,'' Sherich said of his Bruins (1-15). When the other team gets five opportunities to make a bucket, sooner or later, one of them is going to go in.
''I will never say they don't hustle and bust their butt, but that's a mental thing. Boxing out and rebounding is mental. When you give the other team four and five opportunities, it's going to break your back.''
Staffelino hit a pair of 3-pointers and scored 21 points for the Brooke. Michaela Hinerman, who lit up Linsly with four 3-pointers in their last meeting, added two more and finished with 10 points. A field goal by Marena Cline early in the fourth quarter was the only other points Brooke registered.
Miriam Nwachukwu added seven points and Emma Cecil had finished with six for Linsly.

Yeah I tried asking Mr.Google for both ancient and classical greek, but without much luck. The closest I found was one called kypros (sp?) that you could check a box for ancient greek instead of modern, but it had such a small dictionary built into it that I couldn't found any words that would translate...
It was a pretty frustrating search, so I asked here in the hopes that somebody else may have already found something I could use, but if not, I'll just mangle some modern greek and call it creativeness
Sorry no, but it does remind me of funny a story a friend once told me. He had a friend who was travelling to Greece and wanted to learn the language. He went to the local library and found a book on learning greek and studied it. When he got to greece he was at Pireaus and asked some guys at the warf about the time of the next boat to an island he wanted to travel to. They fell about laughing. Turns out he had learned middle Greek so to our ears what he said would have sounded like: 'Prithee, cans't thou tell me what time a boat will travel to yonder isle?'
Haha that's awesome Ravells

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Alex Smith threw for 225 yards and two touchdowns, and the Kansas City Chiefs held off the scrappy Cleveland Browns late in the fourth quarter to preserve a 23-17 victory Sunday and remain the NFL's lone undefeated team.
The Chiefs kept stopping the Browns down the stretch, though. They forced a turnover on downs with just over 2 minutes left, and Ryan Succop kicked his third field goal in the closing seconds to help seal the victory.

Crespelle Al Pesto Parmesan Ham
- Pour 1 cup of whole milk in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Heat until steam is released when the milk is stirred, just before it boils.
- While the milk is heating, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 1-quart saucepan over medium low heat. Add 2 tablespoons of flour, mixing it in with a whisk until the mixture is smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, for about a minute. Do not brown. Remove from the heat.
- When the milk is hot, transfer it to a measuring cup or pitcher with a spout. Return the pan with the flour mixture to medium heat and begin adding the hot milk, very slowly at first, mixing with the whisk. Do not be concerned if the mixture becomes quite thick at first. Continue adding the milk slowly while mixing with the whisk. As the consistency becomes thinner, start adding the milk more rapidly until all of it has been mixed in.
- Add 1/8 teaspoon of salt and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until the sauce begins to thicken, about 15 minutes. The sauce is done when it coats the whisk thickly.
- Pour 1 cup of whole milk into a mixing bowl. Using a sifter or fine mesh strainer, slowly add 3/4 cup of flour while whisking. Once all the flour is added continue whisking until the mixture is smooth. Add the eggs and 1/8 teaspoon of salt and whisk them in thoroughly.
- Preheat the oven to 400° F on the convection setting or to 425° F on the bake setting.
- Put a thin sliver of the butter in a non-stick 8-inch skillet and place over medium heat. Once the butter has melted completely, add 3 tablespoons of the crespelle batter. Pick up the skillet and tilt it in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Place the skillet back over the heat and cook until the sides begin to lift from the pan and the bottom is speckled brown, about 1 ½ minutes. Using a spatula, turn the crespella over and continue cooking until the other side is also speckled brown, about 30 seconds, then remove it and transfer to a plate. Add another thin sliver of butter to the skillet and repeat the procedure until all the batter has been used. The crespelle can be stacked on the plate without them sticking together.
- Assemble the crespelle
- Grate the Fontina cheese using the large holes of a grater.
- Smear a thin coating of the béchamel on a baking dish. Place one of the crespelle on a clean plate and coat it with some of the béchamel. Cover with a slice of the Pesto Parmesan Ham (no larger than the crespella) and sprinkle on top with some of the grated cheese. Roll the crespella loosely and place in the baking dish. Continue until all the crespelle have been used. Use the remaining béchamel to coat the top of the crespelle.
- Bake the crespelle in the pre-heated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the top just begins to brown. If they don't begin to brown after 10 minutes, place them briefly under the broiler. Serve hot.

I attempted an update yesterday and probably didn't pay attention do all the dialogues I just assumed it worked. But after I was not able to launch ZD client. I'd see a little window flash and then close almost instantly, even after reboot.
I downloaded the full client and attempted to repair install but I get this error
a network error occured while attempting to read from the file: C:/update.msi
The path will differ depending where you try to install from, originally I was installing from desktop then I moved the zdesktop_7_2_1_ga_b11637_20120906071254_win32.msi
to c: to see if that would help but it did not... any ideas? I have disabled antivirus with no difference as well.

Network changes on tap for FedEx Freight
September 16, 2010
On its fiscal first quarter earnings call earlier today, FedEx announced some significant changes for FedEx Freight, its less-than-truckload (LTL) unit.
FedEx said it will combine its FedEx Freight and FedEx National LTL operations, effective January 30, 2011 in an effort to increase efficiencies and reduce operational costs.
Company officials said that this move will provide shippers with a choice of priority of economy less-than-truckload freight services "across all lengths of haul from one integrated company" and will also substantially improve profitability for FedEx Freight in fiscal 2012. FedEx said the estimated costs of this effort is $150-to-$200 million and will include severance costs related to personnel reductions, lease terminations, and certain proceeds from asset sales. Headcount is expected to be reduced by roughly 1,700 employees and about 100 facilities will be closed.
"FedEx Freight's unmatched…priority and economy LTL services will deliver unique value to customers and make FedEx Freight an even more important element in our unmatched portfolio," said Frederick W. Smith, FedEx Chairman, President, and CEO, on a conference call earlier today.
This effort, added Smith, surpasses any project the company has ever done, where it has had more extensive operational research modeling and customer focus group research, adding that FedEx is highly confident about its ability to execute on its plan. He said it is a real paradigm change in the LTL market—and may have not been possible a few years back without the advanced IT capabilities that enable FedEx Freight terminals more efficiently. Regional and national networks have been kept separate in the past because the ability to cross-utilize facilities was next to impossible, he said.
In the fiscal first quarter, average daily shipments at FedEx Freight were up 29 percent year-over-year, while yield fell 3 percent, due to what FedEx cited as recent yield management initiatives to improve pricing.
FedEx executive vice president and chief financial officer Alan B. Graf said on the call that the LTL market remains highly competitive due to excess capacity and discounted pricing, which led to quarterly yield declines. But he said FedEx Freight yields were up four percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 as a result of the company's fuel management initiatives, more disciplined contract pricing, and reviews of lower-performing accounts that await adjustments.
Combining the networks will increase efficiency and reduce operational costs, said Graf, although he declined to disclose how it would impact the bottom line for FedEx.
FedEx Freight President Bill Logue said FedEx has been closely examining its LTL network and the LTL market in an effort to determine how to get back to double-digit margins, explaining that FedEx believes it has to "formula" to do that.
"Recent trends showing yield coming up is very good for our business although volumes were flat, as we moved some volume out of our system to improve yield," said Logue. "I think we are well-positioned. This is really changing our business model and offering [shippers] a choice for every length of haul, which is what customers are asking for. And we are moving our business forward by giving them a choice and reliability. For every length of haul, they will have two choices and two options separated by, on average, a day of transit."
When asked how combining regional and long-haul LTL networks will impact service, Graf said it will return FedEx Freight to profitability but declined to discuss specifics on yield improvements.
Providing shippers with two levels of service for every length of haul, is also indicative of a larger shift in the LTL market, explained LTL president Logue.
"A lot of long haul carriers are trying to penetrate short haul and [vice-versa] to try to find additional revenue in certain spaces," he said. "And at the same time customers are looking for that as well as more transit choices between long and short haul within the same network."
Along with designing a network that run its economy offering, Logue said that Fedex Freight will also capitalize on some intermodal offerings that will help the company on the cost side.
Robert W. Baird analyst Jon Langenfeld wrote in a research note that this restructuring was expected, and he also commented that this is positive news for other LTL carriers, because FedEx Freight is expected to cede share and focus on raising freight rates.
