"We are here today to commemorate the brave and honourable
Yun Wang, of the 32nd Celestial Guard Unit. Through his quick thinking and
ingenious use of the Kuang Shi he managed to save his encampment and his fellow
soldiers during the attacks at Paradiso. Reports have it that many of the rear
guard at the Yu Jing encampments faced constant threat from the Aswuangs night
attacks. Solider causalities were piling up till Yun Wang recommended a counter
strategy. Celestial Guards were swapped out for Kaung Shi as protectors of the
rear guard for their encampments. This proved to be an effective method to
counter Aswuangs attacks. Any Aswuangs attack on the rear guard was met with a
quick detonation of the Kung Shi. This not only lead to the death of any assaulting
Aswuangs but also altered the entire encampment to the approaching threat. This
was only compounded by the moral raise fellow members of the Yu Jin felt with
the death of the traitorous Kung Shi. Yun Wang's encampment had a significantly
lower casualty rate then surrounded Yu Jin encampments and much of this is
attributed to the efforts of Yun Wang. We now go to talk to the hero in

"We are in sector 3, area 12 and we need a medic. I repeat
we NEED a medic. Our platoon has found a lone Montesa knight apparently cut off
from his unit badly wounded in the forest. He says his name is Rick Aimsly and
he has lacerations to his face, left arm and torso. He cannot tell us much,
except that his unit was ambushed a couple of kilometres north of here and that
he is the only one in his group to get away. We are bringing him back to the
forward encampment for first aid but I request an evacuation of this solider
for further medical treatment ASAP!"
-The last recording of
Acontecimento Regular Jake Alberry. When medical staff and soldiers arrive to
provide relief to the forward encampment they found no surviving soldiers. The
encampment's soldiers had been slaughtered with little resistance.
Investigations have, so far, found little. Investigators have stated that there
is no solider profile of the "injured soldier aka Rick Aimsly". He simply does
not exist. The closest regiment of
Monstesa knights was over 50 kilometres east of the encampment. Paradiso Report

"None of us even saw it coming. One minute the captain was threatening this helpless young woman kneeling in the middle of the road; the next he was laying on the ground with his brains splattered over half the squad and she had simply vanished into thin air.
"The squad fanned out to look for her and triggered two mines she'd planted in the underbrush, killing another five men. More shots rang out from a small rocky outcrop to the left that overlooked the track, killing the Sarge with a round straight through his helmet. It was that very round that hit me in the thigh and put me on my knees, out of the fight.
"The last three guys opened fire on the rocks but she was already gone. They adopted a standard search pattern, but Miles fell to another mine the bitch had hidden near the rocks. Then Jimmy caught a bullet in the chest. Mack panicked and ran into the trees. It was the wrong move as he ran straight at her and she lit him up from boot to helmet with her flame thrower. His screams were the last thing I remember.
"Such horrible screams."
- Testimony of an OmniCorp mercenary on trial before an Ariadnan War Crimes Tribunal, relating his squad's contact with Caporal-chef Melusine d'Apringy, 4éme de Chasseurs.

"It was only a flesh wound.
I did everything by the book. He was unconscious so I setup the medscan, prepped for first-aid, and injected the site with antiseptic…or was it blood thinner? There was bullets flying everywhere you see so I couldn't focus! Next thing I know he's got an arterial bleed. Like oh my god blood was spraying everywhere. I wanted to use a tourniquet but it was a neck wound, so I panicked. Suddenly his stats started flat lining and I knew there was nothing else I could do.
So I moved on to the next patient on the field. I was in luck because it was only a flesh wound."
Sonia "Doc Feel Good" Jones. After action report by the PanOceanian Trauma-Doc on the skirmish near Silvania. This routine mission saw the Fusilier Lieutenant and three other members of the squad 'Killed In Action'. Survivor statements suggest that some deaths happened while under medical care.

"We're cut off from any reinforcement, all lines of communication are down someone seems to be jamming them. We can hear them at night moving through the foliage, something's coming but we just don't know what"
Final journal entry of Major Leroy Hespburg, believed KIA during the first Neocolonial war.
Explosions rupture overhead, metal shavings and concrete rubble fly through the air like lethal shrapnel. Movement is tough with most areas locked down by over watch and when the sun fades the worst of the conflict surfaces. Humanoid shapes would slither from the rubble and ruin the only indication of their lack of humanity was their growls and guttural speech. The people of this poor city, which lay in ruins littered with broken bodies and shattered communities, needed a hero. Some fabled warrior to come and rid them of their plight. Little did they know that this hell hole of a city was soon to be graced with an extraordinary presence.
"We couldn't protect them, it was just so fast. They moved like lighting, hairy fanged lightning. I tried to stop them from getting her but it was no use. Now the offspring will come out tainted. Neither man nor beast, only something horrific. Why can't we just be allowed to live a normal life! Why did we have to be cursed with this Antipodes? Why us? Why here? Why did they forsake us to this horrible planet."
Ariadnan citizens account of the horror of the attacks of Antipodes.

There was smoke everywhere, and we were under fire from positions that had been considered secured only minutes before. Lieutenant Xiao Ping had been taken by one of those bastards, and we were retreating in the most orderly fashion we could. I was there to protect my retreating comrades, giving them as much time as I could, shouting at the top of my lungs for them to be quick about it… And suddenly it all fell silent, and I risked a peek at the now-ruined avenue from which we were retreating. The smoke seemed to part, and there she was, walking up the avenue as if it were a catwalk, with her eyes glowing like lanterns… She seemed to move in slow motion towards me, almost sliding. She looked at me right in the eye and smiled. A thin, lopsided smile like a poisoned knife. Can you imagine what it is to have that… thing smile at you? She… she shouldn't even have a human mouth! I couldn't help it. It was the final straw. I dropped my rifle and ran away. I failed the glorious StateEmpire. I know I deserve this.
In light of the subject's confession of ignominious desertion, I recommend her to be sent to a Kuang-Shi re-education facility, lest her alarmism damage the morale of the troops.

"Bakayarou! Get your head down!" Chui Takeda screamed, as combi-rifle fire raked the cement divider Shinji crouched behind. Takeda scowled at Shuji. "Those gaijin aren't blind, aho!" Shinji was a draftee from Nihon, fighting for his Chinese overlords whether he willed it or not. "'Keisotsu butai', my ass." he thought. "I study agronomics." Now he was pinned down under fire in a nameless city, an expendable advance guard for the glorious Yu-Jing empire.
Shinji raised his rifle for a shot, glimpsed a blur of motion in a far window and fired, missing. "Kuso!" he muttered. Suddenly, he heard a sickening slapping sound and saw the body of Takeda jerk before falling. Shinji turned and raised his rifle as a monstrous, shimmering blue form rounded the corner. A Cutter TAG! He leaped into cover, expecting to die, as HMG rounds slammed into the pavement behind.
"Shi-ne, bakemono!" Shinji heard booming in his ears. Disbelieving, he opened his eyes in time to see a sleek white demon execute a perfect cut through the abdomen of the PanO TAG with a massive katana. The blue TAG split in half at the waist, instantly disabled. Shinji looked up and saw an O-Yoroi TAG of Nihon looking down at him. "Gambarre, little brother. Someday we will fight for ourselves again, ne? Until then, keep your head down." The massive TAG strode around the corner, laying down a curtain of fire as it went. "Someday, indeed." Shinji thought. He was going to need a new hakama.
"… and then, we saw him running across the field, charging right into the enemy lines. It was inhuman to watch, no man should be able to move that fast and no human should be able to do what he did. You know, the others are frightening too, but he is something terrifying, something entirely different. I guess Aleph is on our side, I guess that's good. But when you see them fight, you wonder what our role and place in the world will be when this is all over. What room is there for us in a world with them? I am grateful, I'd likely be dead if not for them. But I am also scared shitless."
Sergeant Guillermo Ramirez, 15th Acontecimento Regulars during the initial interview with field psychologist Reporter Katherine Bailey, twenty hours after being extracted from the field of battle by an Aleph Assault Sub Section Tactical Team lead by Achilles.

The operation went to hell the moment we started disembarking from our transports to take the vitally important sector <reference deleted>. Morat line troops opened fire from prepared positions and destroyed almost half of our transports. While we were forming our battle line Shasvastii infiltrators opened fire from our rear and caught us in a crossfire.
We got lots of entries for this contest – you guys rock!

Infinity: Original Sin.
On a festering rock at the edge of space I know for absolute certainty, I am going to die.
Bones cracked and shattered, a solitary figure looks up to the sky trying one last time to find a glimpse of a shadow against the distant stars. His home is floating out there, somewhere. If he could just focus on one of those stars he might be able see his home. And then it comes back again. The stench of a hundred rotting corpses floods his senses, and the pain starts again.
The hooded figure always concealed in the darkness, comes for him every night. He never says a word. The recordings are always the same. "Who are you? What are your faction's defensive capabilities?" Each word is pieced together from hundreds of different transmissions, repeated in differing languages. Each time silence in response, each time torture the cost of loyalty for Her.
"You will die today, Observer. Humanity's reckoning is upon you." The voice was guttural; the sound could not have been made by a human tongue. Each syllable accented with pure hate. As the light shifted, the hooded figure's face was finally visible after all these months. "The Combined Army is coming!"
I have dedicated myself for Her. Every action, every thought, every breath was all for Her. All I can do at the end is to look the devil in the eyes and smile. I am going to die, but it won't be the last.

"Well Intruder Viktor, you said that music was decisive in the defense of the "Tierra de fuego" orbital station, can you explain why?"
"Check this sound"
"Hmm, strong, rythmic, hard tones…"
"Yeah, that´s it. Artificial gravity was out, every crate and container in the storage
area was floating free, good cover, but they got our comms jammed hard, we
couldn´t coordinate and the stinking morats were hunting us one by one"
"So, how did you get that music playing?"
"Our little sister ; "M.C. Dolorsita" jacked a memory stick on the helmet of a dead Mobile brigada , the mouth piece worked like a boom box, and we all could hear that mix from last krug, yeah, just followed the rhythm , we got our tacticool dance going on…hear that? Da-ba-da-ping-da-ba-da-BOOM, right on, and we would jump from cover and give them some…"
"It has quite a…distinct tribal quality to it"
"Betcha! Bunch of Corregidor mates, hyped up on righteous vibe, knife fighting distance on 0-G environment, yeah, sure as hell we got tribal on them red apes. And now pass me
another beer, pendejo."
From the docudrama "Sounds of Battle, music from the frontline in Paradiso". Now on Oxyd.

"We were trapped, trapped in the middle of this god forsaken jungle
… no tactical support, no up-to-date or relevant data … our signal
was jammed and our field engineer was lying in his own blood, ripped
apart by some alien weapon. We never saw it coming. After two days in
this heat and humidity they attacked us the first time. We lost half
of our team. They appeared out of nowhere and retreated after minutes.
They vanished in this green hell hole like ghosts and left nine bodies
lifeless on the ground. They killed Delago and Sanchez, our commanding
officers. We never had a chance to retaliate. Damn those aliens! They
will pay …"

Adam put his head down as the last of the crash coffins hit the ground. The earth shook violently, and some of the building to the right collapsed in a cloud of dust. Adam made a curt gesture with his hand, pointing toward the closest emergency pod. "Assault pattern sif. Move out, jalla, jalla!" he barked into the intercom and vaulted from cover. Crouched, he was moving fast, trying to close the distance to the capsule before any of the competition arrived. His team followed behind him, spreading out, each one of them letting the routine of their training fight off the adrenaline rush. They fell into cover around the drop capsule. Afif, the team's specialist, entered the universal "all-clear" code into the panel. After fiddling with the hatch for a while, he managed to pry it open. Adam only managed to get a glimpse of the figure inside – humanoid, but not human. Multiple enemy contacts flashed red on Adam's HUD. "3 Tangos; west!" – he relayed, already training his rifle on the incoming enemy. Squinting, he tried to pierce the darkness. He recognized the approaching dog-like shapes as the slaves the alazhanab would send in droves into battle. He fired, his As Sadayd speaking to the enemy in short, controlled bursts. Adam moved back to the capsule, only to see Afif already injecting the humanoid inside with stimulants to fight off the artificial coma. Inshallah, this was the package they were looking for.

"Sweat poured down my brow and trickled into my eyes sending an irritating itch to the tip of my nose. Dam this heat on Paradiso! For four weeks we had been patrolling the jungle, deep in enemy territory, chasing shadows. I looked across the clearing to Sergeant Wren and puffed at his stiff appearance. How could he could crouch so still and remain so focused? A whistle suddenly shrieked above the foliage and a blinding flash of light pierced the sky. Dust spewed up in a tidal wave as a large shell fell right beside me. The shock wave ripped through me and hurled me across a large branch, where upon I skidded to a halt with mud clinging to my face. Delirious and shocked, I raised my head and squinted to see through the thick haze of dust. I looked into the direction of where Sergeant Wren had been, but alas all I could see was a torn black leather boot with smoke slowly wafting up in a lazy arc. Through a chink of light in the bushes ahead, I saw a red mask pointing straight into my direction. Two dark black orbs beamed into my vision….no surely not a demon! not here? An intense pain shot straight through my skull. A screeching noise ripped down my spinal cord and pulsated to the tips of my fingers. My eyes rolled back into their sockets as darkness enveloped all around me."

Silence fell with the rain outside the Aurora-Dawn. Hidden thirteen dense jungle filled clicks to the south, Foxtrot Ranger Lamar Jackson continued to chew on his nicotine-lite bar. Red cracks raced around his eyes itched and burned with a pain of insomnia and histamine. Somewhere, hidden amongst the earth-tones, Lamar would discover the cause of the virus that ate the will of his fellow abandoned interstellar travelers. Too many months had disappeared beneath the desperation of salvaging the Aurora-Dawn, the terror of radio silence, and the horror of the virus. No one was coming to help, no one was coming to save.
Distant shadows moved too quickly as the pale bipod with spiked flesh that pointed back from the smooth skin of its face entered Lamar's field of vision. Lamar could feel the sleep leak from his body, adrenaline electrocuting his fingertips, but he must not be seen. He had to find the alien base of operations. Breathing with slow exaggerated breaths, the foxtrot ranger inched forward along the ground.
Three hours of bloody thorns and insect stings later, the alien camp became visible. White structures in groupings of three littered the campsite. A new batch of infected humans ambled their way past Lamar's position. Nervous indecisions tightened across his muscles, but this opportunity necessitated action. He had to pass as infected… and hope his captures did not notice his satchel of d-charges.

"The one thing that you have to understand about me is that, I happen to man of honor and this little "adventure" can happen one of two ways. We can either do this the simple way where we both shoot at each other until one of us is a bleeding mess on the floor and nobody wants that. However we can settle this, what's the word…sportmanslike. We both put down our guns and try to kill each other like civilized people. Or I can just shoot you now, your call…"

"No paperwork…No paper trail. That has got to be hands down the best part of working for those Bakunin. Sure some of their requests are, odd, but they always foot the bill. I mean there was this one time they literally handed me ten thousand credits to hack some obscure mainframe and upload a virus. Shut down half of the shows on Maya. Oh man…that was by far the easiest money I've made in years…I'm sorry, what did you say your name was?"
Toby Riggs, computer analyst. Last seen leaving Old Glory Tavern, where reports confirm that he was seen leaving in the company of a woman. Eye witnesses claim that there was something unnatural about her skin. Further investigations revealed that Riggs never made to his hotel room that night. The investigation of his disappearance is still ongoing.

The sky looks perfectly blue with picturesque clouds drifting through my field of view. Seems wrong somehow, discordant with the hammering of small arms fire clawing at the calm of the early afternoon. I can feel the grass below my shoulders and back cradling the red stain slowly seeping into the earth. Peripherally I can see pieces of red mingling with the brown of broken earth where the grass has been torn up.
No, don't look at that.
Have to hold on just a bit.
A cloud looking like a large dog drifts overhead and draws my view away from the earth cradling my vaporized lower intestine. I smile, imagining Sergeant Furtan. "Suck it up soldier!" My right arm sags a bit and I jerk reflexively. Panicked. The agony overrides the numbness and shoves a hot metal spear through my abdomen. I moan softly and clench my hand.
Just hold on a little longer.
The footsteps are in short bursts. Eight or ten steps and then a pause. I strain as I hear the approach.
Almost here, just hang on a little longer.
The shadow falls over me blocking out the light as the Seed Soldier stares down at me with his face in shadow, haloed by the sun.
I smile and let go.
The enigmatic alien stares down at the dying human. Why is it smiling? The right hand opens and the Seed soldier has a moment of disbelieving outrage as the fragmentation grenade blows him into the air.
The next five entries!

-These soldiers, they are not simple human right? Simple humans are cowards in blue or orange cloths. They are escaping when we show them our full force, whe we show them what means to be the morat. They can not be one of your kind. They are strong, hardened fighters, it's hard to kill them. They decimated my unit and slaughtered our reiforfcements and brought me to their troops and now I'm here. I haven't seen their faces, but they weared weardy helmets with mirorlike golden visors. I have seen only one face, he was one of their commanders and his helmet was broken. I remeber what i saw in his eyes, he wasn't happy or scared, he hated us all. If all of your soldiers were like them we could take as much land on Paradiso, as need for our graves…

Playing in Paradiso
Sheskiin's light green body sweltered from exertion. Her twin hearts pounding a rhythmically as she allowed her deceased target's genetic code to flow into her malleable form. She drew on her Cadmus-Naish training to quickly calm herself. Infiltrating such a well-guarded fortress, in this most sacred and safe Pan Oceanian sanctuary, surrounded by hundreds of over confident humans was exhilarating.
Her victim lay sprawled in his austere bed. Blood from his severed head turning the crisp sheets into a banner of crimson death. It seemed to Sheskiin that his hastily discarded uniform and armor, still lying in a heap on the floor, were almost mocking him in their uselessness. How many times had they protected him in battle?
As soon as she was satisfied with her transformation she lay the incriminating katana across the corpse—and began to laugh. Not quietly like one would expect an intruder to chuckle, but loudly like the Chocan striders she used to hunt on Kiplon when such things still gave her pleasure. Her cackling echoed off the roughhewn walls of the Montesa Knight's sparse sleeping quarters as she made for the door. She was sure the EI would be most pleased with her handiwork. After all, it wasn't really work. Who didn't love playing in Paradiso?

"This is our planet and we will keep it for our kith and kin. Leave now and you will live, stay and you will share in his fate. This is our planet and we know it well. We know it's every nook, every cranny, every shadow. You cannot win when the land itself is on our side. This is your only warning, leave now or die, for we are the ghosts in the night, we are the wolves at your door and if you stay we shall be your deaths."
Note discovered alongside the body of Captain Calivari of the Jade Viper Mercenary Company contracted to the Pan-Galactic Mining Corporation. Calivari was discovered with his throat slit inside his personal tent. Apart from a further two dead sentries there was no other sign of intrusion. Intelligence suggests the murder be attributed to the Special Ariadnan Service. Pan-Galactic have refused the Jade Vipers permission to withdraw insisting that the 'backward locals' possess no serious threat.

The rhythmic thud, thud, thud accompanied the small avalanche of concrete and mortar tumbling down on Finnean. The machinegun slugs were screaming in and chewing up the wall he was sheltering behind. "Join the Highlanders they said, it will be an adventure they said" Finnean growled under his breath while trying to keep the dust out of his eyes. He glanced back at the red smears and assorted chunks of meat that until thirty seconds ago had been the balance of his squad. Shit. This was a mess. If he stayed here he was hamburger, if he moved he'd be target practice. Bloody shotgun was useless.
He shifted to peak around the corner and jerked his head back just in time to avoid the curtain of lead scouring the concrete. "Thunk-click-thunk".
Finnean had a fierce grin slashing through his beard as he bounded over the wall, the sound of the empty ammo hopper echoing in the sudden silence. He could hear the gravel crunch with each bounding step as his feral scream sounded in slow motion in his ears. His whole world narrowed down to the end of the barrel as the O-Yoroi reloaded. The "clunck" as the hopper seated was deafening. He launched a last bounding stretch. "Dunk". The grenade seating in the front of the barrel gave a hollow thump before the first round impacted it as Finnean burrowed into the ground.

Control we have catastrophic failure on O-Yoroi Delta13.

Day 6
I'm tired. My food rations were finished two days ago, my water, this morning. Yet still the Combined Army scouts harass my position. I must hold. I must not let them through.
I've shot nearly twelve of their number in five days, but in the last push, I got wounded. It hurts. And the wound has started to smell. They were almost too many. I'm sure they know where I am now. But I can't move. I must not let them through.
Besides, I am too weak. I see movement. I must hold.
Last entry of a diary found on the mutilated body of a Nisse sniper from Svalarheime.
Mission 102 is Activation and Triangulation. There are five objectives, arranged like the pips of a die. Step one is to approach one, and obtain your activation sequence. This tells you in which order you must activate each techno-device (there are 4 different patterns).
Since Tom won Mission 101, he was allowed to choose his Activation Sequence, and automatically received the 1 Objective Point (OP) for "discovering" it. He chose sequence 2-1-3-5, which kept him safe near his own deployment zone for as long as possible.
Kip won the Deployment roll and chose Initiative. Knowing his Sequence before deployment, Tom could set up his specialists near his starting point.
Remember, the same model must complete the activation sequence. If they go down, another specialist (Engineer/Hacker) has to go get the data from their corpse before continuing the sequence.

The army again centers around the two objective-grabbing Fireteams of Kumotail/Makaul/Fire Support – one Sakiel, one Ectros. One was positioned on my right flank to easily start my sequence, starting the game hidden inside a building a single move action away from the first Objective. The second team was on the left of center, ready to pick up the pieces of the first Specialist if she went down while grabbing any of the first three objectives.
Gao Rael again was their to lend Fire Support, with his Visor countering ALEPH ODD. This time, my Hathail SpecOps (Doctor, Engineer, +1 WIP) was in support, with a slaved Chaksa Servant prone next to the Sniper.
Gao Tarsos HMG was taken to hopefully whittle down any Enomotarchos teams before he went down (spoiler: the link team guys made ALL their armor rolls, but he did wipe out Kip's 2 speedy Specialists that started his Sequence…).
Add in the Baggage Chaksa, the Neurocinetics HMG Chaksa, and a Kamael with LGL (never fired a shot…) for the second group.

For this Mission I had to randomly roll for my sequence, so that had a big effect on my specialist choices and deployment. I tried to maximize my "Specialist Order Pool" (Group one) while maintaining a secondary fire support team that was effective at a small number of orders(Group 2).
Since Repeaters/Servants can be used in this mission I wasted no time adding in a Yudbot (6-4 Mov w/ Mimetism) and a Lamedh Rebot (6-6 Mov w/ Mimetism). The Yudbot was used by Thorakitia Engineer, and the Lamedh Rebot was used by my Thamyris Hacker. This mission requires you to move across a lot of fire lanes, so I added an Ekdromoi Hacker in as a back up. His AD:Combat Jump would allow me to quickly retrieve the sequence from a fallen bot no matter where they fell. The Bots were placed in close proximity to each of the consoles at the corners of my deployment zone, one on the left and one on the right.
My Myrmidon Fire Team was geared to lay down a fair amount of heavy fire with minimal order use. Phoenix, with his Heavy Rocket Launcher, was the main focus for fire support. The increased burst (3) template attack would (theoretically) allow me to hit multiple targets with each shot, maximizing it's efficiency per order used. The other Myrms were there to lay smoke when needed and to cover corners from groups moving in.
This is how it went down (well best my memory serves):
Kip took first turn and used smoke from his Myrmidons to cover the #2 console giving his Lamedh a free run at it. He chose #2 first because he felt the odds were the best on rolling a sequence starting with #2. The roll stated otherwise, and the sequence started with #1 console … "Don't ever tell me the odds kid". Phoenix and crew used the rest of their orders to position themselves and take out the Gao-Rael Sniper, this opened a clear lane for the Yudbot to move safely. The rest of Group 1′s orders were spent moving the Yudbot to console #1 activating it and moving across the board to #2. This is where Kip made his first mistake. With his last order he chose to move the Yudbot 10 more inches to get into B2B contact with the Lamedh Rebot, instead of standing his Thorakitai fire team up (they deployed prone because of the Total Reaction HMG). This would prove to be a huge mistake when Tom took his first active turn.
Tom started his turn by moving up and starting his activation sequence. He then slowly moved to the other side of the board with his fireteam. Seeing the clear lane left open by the hiding Thorakitai he chose to come on the table using Advanced Infiltration with his Gao Tarsos. The Gao Tarsos was positioned in cover to take a couple shots at the Myrmidons left in the open. Kip luckily won Face to Face and set up a smoke screen as a reaction. This was not as lucky as he thought though. The smoke screen left a wide opn lane (due to the hiding Thorakitai) for Tom to move his Gao Tarsos up and take his HMG shots at Kip's Lamedh Rebot. The rebot went down very easily. But, since Kip moved the Yudbot closer, the Gao Tarsos also had a wide open shot at the Yudbot! The poor little guy didn't last very long. Tom used his remaining orders to position the Gao Tarsos in cover.
The Score at end of turn 1 – Tom: 2 Kip: 2
Kip started his second turn by Using his Mymidons to kill the Gao Tarsos, then positioned themselves to fire upon and kill the Chaksa w/ HMG with Phoenix's handy Rocket launcher. Playing it safe he then brought the Ektromoi on from his own table edge to walk up and recover the sequence from the fallen Yudbot. The Myrmidons then used their last order to lay down a smoke cloud to cover the advance of the Ekdromoi. Kip then spent the rest of his orders to move the Ekdromoi up to the second console, activated it, then advanced up closer to the third.
Tom continued his advance toward the second console, killing one of the Myrmidons with his Makaul on the way. The Makaul went down in the process. Using a great smoke screen he got to the second console and activated it. The rest of the order were spent repositioning for defense.
The Score at the end of Turn 2 – Tom: 3 Kip: 3
Kip started his third turn by advancing the Ekdromoi both cautiously and jumping to get to the third console. Luckily there was enough space (by a hairline) for him to cautious move into contact with the third console. He then slid over and shot the Kumotail down before cautiously moving back to cover. The Myrmidons moved up to defense positions to cover the Ekdromoi.
Tom started his turn by laying down smoke and advancing his other Kumotail toward the fallen one. He passed his doctor roll and the Kumtail was revived. He then slowly picked off the Mymidons with his Ectros and Makaul. The Makaul killed Phoenix leaving the Steel Phalanx in Loss of Lieutenant to start their final turn.
The Score after turn 3 – Tom: 3 Kip: 4
Having only two orders left, Kip just tried a desperation move with his Ekdromoi. Jumping up to the top of the container he was hiding behind, he fired his Cain Rifle catching the Makaul and both Kumotail. The Makaul and one of the Kumotail (the one with the sequence) fell.
At the start of Tom's turn it was agreed upon that he didn't have enough orders to get to his third console, so the game ended with a gentleman's hand shake.
Final score – Tom:3 Kip: 4
Paradiso Campaign Score – Tom: 9 Kip: 4
Steel Phalanx won the day, but they are still far behind from winning chapter 1.
Stay tuned to see how Chapter one is concluded!!

The glass cocooning my face flashes green like a phosphor spark in a sake bottle as the drop hatch snaps back and there's nothing between me and my sky. Three. The thin, cold currents of the upper atmosphere coil around me and I give their affection back, feeling Zephyr's caress through my insulated armor. Two. My breathing rushes and the wind rushes and my little mind punches through the brittle shell of ignorance that teaches us a distinction between the two. No distinction. Only the rush. One. Twin needle clusters nestled in my suit jab a sweetly stinging constellation into my sides. The rush becomes a monastic hum, the adrenaline spike is hammered into a sheet of mental steel that cannot crack.
My sky is my mother's womb. It is my childhood bed, my dearest friend's embrace, and the arms of my lover at the moment of release. Somewhere, far below, you are standing. I don't know you. Your name, your life, your loves, don't even occur to me. I only pity you. Not because you'll soon be dead, for that is a blessing. I pity you because you've never felt my sky.
Why do we get up? So that we can fall again.
-Corporal Andria Mendoza-Shevchenko, IDIR of Corregidor 'Hellcats'
Aw shucks sir, we have wolves in the forward positions, the rear positions, the command post, the latrine, the mess hall, pretty much everywhere. Just fire the bombardment at the base sir. My position, sir, it won't much matter in 5 ticks anyhow, sir. <Loud Growl Heard> Gotta go, sir. <Insert Romeo's HMG sound>"
Last words of Communication Sergeant Walter R. O'Reilly, Ariadna outpost 4077, Northeast of Deadwood.

Celestial Guardsman Tien Yi signaled his Kuang Shi squad to move forward. The convicts crossed the street on approach to the entrance of an immense parking structure. A shot rang out from above and to the right; one of the Kuang Shi collapsed to the ground, a geyser of blood spurting from his throat.
Tien Yi ordered the other three convicts to take cover in the parking structure while he hunkered down on the other side of the street. He scanned the buildings above, but was unable to determine the source of the fire.
"Convict 48219765, abandon cover and move down the middle of the street." The Kuang Shi stood up and hesitantly moved from her pillar into the road. Tien Yi sent a signal to temporarily disable the explosive device in 48219765's helmet.
Tien Yi scanned the buildings, waiting for the shot. A wavering image appeared 200 meters distant and a shot zipped past the Kuang Shi and ricocheted off of the street. The convict moved up the street – Tien Yi could hear her sobs coming over the radio. Another shot exposed the shooter and 48219765 fell to the ground with a chest wound from a large-caliber rifle.
The guardsman ordered his squad to open fire on the building. That mysterious, camouflaged enemy must be brought down for the glory of the empire. The resulting scream was very satisfying.

Trooper 79815 would atone for his family's crimes. The Wu Ming Assault Corp offered him the chance to serve his Emperor rather than discard his life for the crimes of others, even those of his family. He was once one of the Emperor's finest – a Bao trooper – and now he was a disgraced convict.
79815 shouldered his Type 92 Multi Rifle and carefully took aim at the corner of the building he was facing. He checked the range finder in his helmet – 90 meters. Flicking his selector to Armor Piercing, he leaned slightly forward on the balls of his feet. His breathing measured, he waited for the Tohaa to peek around the corner.
He did not have to wait long. As the alien's torso emerged, 79815's finger squeezed the trigger. No hesitation. The rifle coughed forth the Emperor's wrath in physical form and the round tore through the alien's chest, a spray of green ichor decorating the wall. The Tohaa slumped to the ground and seemed to deflate. It was time to move up and take the intersection, continuing the cleansing of Paradiso.
There would be more enemies this day. With every enemy death, he was that much closer to redeeming his honor and name – the honor and name his family had abandoned, but that he clung to with all of his will. 79815 would serve the Empire until his absolution…or his death.

Center Responds to AFL-CIO Attack
Media find plagiarism in Karla Swift Op-Ed
Executive Vice President Michael J. Reitz today in The Detroit News responded to an attack against the Center written last week by AFL-CIO President Karla Swift.
National Review Online exposed several instances in Swift's commentary that directly lifted language from another publication without attribution. Watchdog.org connects Swift's attacks to a publication put out by the Center for Media and Democracy, a Michigan-specific version of which was found to have instances of plagiarism in it.

Spotlight Collection
The White Plains Collection
This month, New York Heritage Digital Collections proudly spotlights digital selections from the White Plains Collection from the White Plains Public Library.
From the collection description:
The White Plains Collection is comprised of materials relevant to the history of White Plains, New York. This digital collection contains 322 items including photographs and documents spanning the late 19th to late 20th centuries. They document civic life, street scenes, and the dramatic change in the character of White Plains through suburban development and urban renewal. Also included are items from Community History Day, when people brought in materials related to their families, churches, personal interests, or work and added them to the collection. This digital collection is hosted by our partners at Digital Culture of Metropolitan New York.
About the repository and source collection:
From the Library's website...
"The White Plains Public Library is a prime site for community memory and holds a rich set of materials in the White Plains Collection. The collection includes books, photographs, maps, oral histories, pamphlets, clippings, and ephemera that help us understand the past in White Plains and build a richer context for our own time. The landscape, appearance, and population of White Plains changed drastically since the late 19th century, when the earliest of our photographs date from. Mainly through suburban development and urban renewal, White Plains went from a village along the New York and Harlem Railroad to the political and economic center of Westchester County.
Although the collection focuses on White Plains, the library also holds material relevant to surrounding communities and Westchester County as a whole. The White Plains Collections contains many fascinating and informative photographs of buildings, people, events, and landscapes. While there are some photographs included in our general collection, many are part of special collections like the John Rosch Collection, featured here. Rosch owned a photography studio in White Plains and was the first City Historian. This collection contains photographs attributable to him as well as photographs he collected or reprinted. Coverage is generally from the 1870s to the mid-1940s. Rosch was interested in the history of White Plains as well as civic life, and this is reflected in his coverage of dedications and parades.
The White Plains Collection is here for people to use. We assist people--regardless of their level of experience--with historical and genealogical research. We encourage you to contact the Librarian for White Plains History and browse our website for help with your research.
The White Plains Public Library is a member of the Metropolitan New York Library Council, a member of the Empire State Library Network.

Anti-Spitzer Sentiment Spawns Two Super-PACs
Thanks again, Citizens United.
Up to this point, there were restrictions on how much Scott Stringer enthusiasm one could express financially, but now if you really love the city comptroller candidate – or really hate his opponent Eliot Spitzer – the sky's the limit. The New York Times reports that an unlikely coalition of women's advocates, business leaders, and labor unions has formed with the goal of advertising and mobilizing voters to ensure that Spitzer remains a former politician. To accomplish these tasks, they've formed two super-PACs, which promise to bring a taste of the absurdly expensive 2012 presidential election to New York City politics.
Spitzer's lead dwindled to within the margin of error in the latest poll, but he's still benefiting from constant media coverage, while there's relatively little interest in Stringer's years in local politics and relation to feminist icon Bella Azbug. The two super-PACs are launching campaigns on Tuesday that they hope will level the playing field. ForwardNY, which consists of business and women's groups, aims to raise $1 million for its push against Spitzer. Their website mentions Spitzer's "failures" four times in two paragraphs, and claims he "demonized hard-working men and women of the City as 'special interests.'"
The second group, Progress NYC, is made up of four labor unions representing health care workers, building employees, hotel workers, and teachers. It seems to be more motivated by Stringer's history of supporting labor than rabid opposition to a former prostitution enthusiast returning to politics. The group plans to kick of its campaign with a radio ad urging Latino voters to support Stringer.
Spitzer may still outspend the groups, as he's opted out of the city's campaign-finance system (which he advocated as governor), and is relying on his own considerable wealth. And the race for comptroller isn't the only city election where we'll see the effects of the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision. Crain's New York Business reported over the weekend that three independent groups are already spending in the mayoral election, and Jobs for New York PAC plans to spend $10 million to elect pro-business candidates to the City Council. Crain's predicts that New York City will become "a test case for what independent expenditures can do in municipal elections," and city voters can expect to "experience some of what their counterparts in presidential swing states did last year." If you need to stop answering your phone and checking your mailbox until after the election, no one would blame you.

Andy Warhol Drawings (Hardcover)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
This whimsical collection of Andy Warhol's early drawings reveals the visual musings of the man before he became the legend. The relatively unknown experiments in commercial illustration collected here were created between 1950 and 1960, pre-dating his more famous paintings and prints. Fanciful, vibrant and bold, these early drawings of fashion, animals, food, and cherubs display the signature bright colors, distinctiveness of line, and repetition of unexpected images that would spark a Pop Art revolution. Beyond demonstrating the playfulness that made Warhol a household name, these illustrations are a visual treat in their own right. Interspersed with quintessential Warhol quotations, this petite volume is a must-have for dedicated Warhol devotees and a delightful discovery for a new generation of fans.
About the Author
Andy Warhol, a painter and graphic artist, also produced a significant body of film work, including his famous Chelsea Girls. He was equally well known in the late sixties and early seventies as resident host at his studio, The Factory, where one could listen to Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground and rub elbows with Edie Sedgwick. Warhold died in New York in 1987.

Arthur T. Demoulas offer made before purchase completed.
Ousted Market Basket CEO Arthur T. Demoulas is offering to return to work and bring his previous management team with him even before there is a completion of a stock purchase which would give him an ownership share in the supermarket chain.
"These steps are critical at this point and are in the best interests of associates, customers, vendors and shareholders," a public relations firm working on his behalf said.

I'm sorry I haven't been able to Slog at all todayI was out of town for two days, and had a lot of catching up to do, and a feature to edit.
I did want to respond to a guy who is currently ranting up a storm in our comments and forums. Paul writes…
Wake up Seattle. This Islam is not Kind Its a new Mein Kampf a new third reich and instead of Brown Shirts they where Veils and Turbons and even got their Kids doing the mohammed goosestep.
I've used the term "Islamo-fascist," and I've been called a racist for doing so. I don't think it's racistand it's not a term applies to all Muslims. I do, however, think it applies to Muslims who want to force everyone else on earth to live by the strictures of their faith. Read Osama bin Laden's letters to Americahe's a fascist. Thankfully, however, the term can only be applied to a small percentage of Muslims. You paint with too broad rush, Paul, and I would describe your rants as racist.
By way of evidence, I would point to the reaction of Seattle's Muslim community to the Stranger's decision to publish some of the allegedly "blasphemous" Mohammed cartoons. Their reaction? Well, so far as I can tell, it consisted of a giving a few quotes to a Seattle Times reporter. We've received no death threats, there have been no demonstrations outside our offices, and my head is still firmly attached to my shoulders.
American Muslims, Seattle's Muslimsthey get it, Paul. While the editors of other papers pussy around, worrying about giving offense, Seattle's Muslims reacted to our decision to print the `toons in much the same way that Seattle's Catholics reacted to our dying Pope cover: they shrugged it off. Sucking up the occasional dig, even the occasional blasphemous outrage, is part of the price of admission in our culture, and Muslims are no less capable of paying that price.
So it's hardly fair to insist that all of Islam, or all Muslims, are fascist. Islam has a problema mosque was bombed today in Iraq by Muslims. But Islam, like Catholicism before it (which has a long history of coddling fascists), can right itself. The West can help Islam right itself by refusing to enact a double standard, i.e. to carve out an exception for Islam, when it comes to free speech, thought, expression, etc.

Tripod Cam-Lock Repair
by frubino, published
Thing Apps Enabled
Thing Info
The Cam-Locks on the Manfrotto tripod model 728B are prone to cracking due to a thin wall thickness. The body of the cam-lock sees a tremendous amount of stress which over time leads to a catastrophic failure (hopefully not when you have a $2000 DSLR mounted on it). In my opinion, a high-end tripod shouldn't have a $0.25 molded part that is prone to cracking and costs $15ea to replace.
The model I generated has a wall thickness of almost 4mm at its thinnest compared to the factory's 2mm. I haven't put it through temperature cycling and aging, but I am confident it will hold up better than the original.
- Start from the smallest tube and replace one section at a time.
- Remove the rubber foot.
- Remove the old Cam-Locks by pushing out the brass pins with a hammer and drift (any punch or small screwdriver smaller than the pin diameter will work). Save the pins, the cam levers and the rectangular pressure block that falls out.
- Pull off the old Cam Lock body.
- Slip on the newly printed body. A rubber mallet helps, but it shouldn't be necessary. There is a rectangular hole in the tube....The opening in the cam-lock body should line up with the hole.
- Drop in the pressure block into the hole of the cam-lock body. The pressure block is slightly curved on one face....This should face the cam lever.
- Position the cam lever in the body with the lever in the open position. Press in the brass pin with a rubber mallet.
- Repeat for the remaining sections.

Has anybody tried to see if these locks work for the 785shb Mafrotto Modo Mini tripod? It has 4 locks instead of 3, but 3/4 might be good!
Will this work for manfrotto 790B?
And if not, is there a way that you can create it?
Thank you!!! :)
Not sure if the design will work for other Manfrottos as I only have access to 728B model. My advice is to print one of the assemblies and give it a try. If you don't have access to a printer, I can provide design and printing services to get you back and running. Let me know if you are interested.
[email protected]
Thanks I used them on my 718B model. If anyone else does this, be sure to check measurements in advance. In the end I used the "medium" file as the biggest of three cam-locks and the small file as my medium cam-lock. Thanks Frubino. Great redesign. Not only a replica, but also just plain BETTER!
Great job on these! And saved me a lot of money!
See my Make for comments on how it went...
I was just about to start modelling these, but decided to have a quick search here and found someone has already done the (not insignifigant) work, and was willing to share.
Thanks muchly.. I'll try to remember to post back on how they work.
I have a 055MF4 tripod that I just got returned from manfrotto repair- the leg locking lever broke and they said they no longer make the part! They wanted me to trade it in for a new one (to the tune of $300)- instead of replacing $.10 of plastic....Do you know anyone who designs such things? I can supply an intact one as an example...
Hi. I'm about to buy 1 of the smaller clamps for the 728B tripod. $20 with shipping. Are you selling any?
caught in the similar situation. Don't know how to use the IGES files. Can you direct me to some site which can supply me these white clips you have made.? That might help me in saving my tripod from sure death. I bought it two days ago without knowing its delicate health.Two clips broke already. Thanks.
thx for this I was about to try and repair mine, will use this instead.
 Glad to help....I'll post IGES files first chance I get if you need to made any adjustments, but mine dropped in pretty easily.

8 Generally Harmless Things That Can Become Dangerous When You Have KidsDevan McGuinness
There are some times where I wonder what life would be life if I didn't have children. My life would not be as fun, fulfilling or stress-filled and I wouldn't want to change it for anything.
When you have kids, obviously your life changes. Sleep becomes less frequent and there are added things to your to-do list.
One thing that is added is being responsible for the safety of someone else — or they bring with them some generally harmless things that are actually harmful when you think about it. they can be harmful to your health, your child's life, your sanity or even your house.
Click through to read the 8 generally harmless things that could become dangerous when you have kids:
Banana Peels 1 of 8So, this one time my kids wondered if people really do slip on banana peels -- so they tested it out. Let me just say it ended with a few bruises. Before kids, I would never have though that a banana peel could be harmful.
Photo credit: photostock.
The Kitchen 2 of 8I love being in the kitchen and creating and trying out new recipes. I know there are some safety things to learn, but when you have kids the kitchen just seems so much more dangerous. According to the Department of Health and Environment in Kansas, "In 2004, approximately 2,300 children ages 14 and under died from unintentional injuries that occurred in the home and nearly 80 percent of these deaths were among children ages four and under. Most fatal injuries at home are caused by fire, suffocation, drowning, choking, falls, poisoning or firearms discharged unintentionally." They suggest teaching kids the proper safety guidelines for the kitchen early and often.

Glitter 3 of 8Before having kids, glitter never seemed harmless at all. Now, while it's probably not too physically harmful, glitter and kids means a knock to my sanity as it gets all over everything and is near impossible to clean up.

Coffee Tables 4 of 8We love them for our livingrooms to place our coffee cups on, fun books or even our feet after a long day. When you have kids though, you have to really wonder if they're worth the risk. In 2009, 143,070 children age 5 and younger visited emergency rooms after table accidents, according to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission with more than a quarter being from coffee tables.There are products available to help cut down on the injuries (like the corner covers), but for us -- we just got a padded ottoman instead.

Window Blind Cords 5 of 8I've taken nearly all the blinds out of our house and am sure to hide the cords way out of reach since I've had kids. Entanglement and strangulation can occur if your child is play around the cords and putting in strict safety steps or removing all together is necessary when you have kids.
Photo credit: photostock.
Markers 6 of 8Who would think any harm could come from markers, but when you have kids -- the harm comes to the walls in the house. I myself have never been interested in coloring marker on the walls, but for some reason that attracts my kids.
Photo credit: photostock.
Building Blocks 7 of 8If you have a child who likes to play with the small plastic building blocks, I bet you know the danger of walking in their play area in the dark -- in bare feet. It HURTS and before kids I didn't have to worry about walking in the dark.
Photo credit: photostock.
Water 8 of 8According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention,"Every day, about ten people die from unintentional drowning. Of these, two are children aged 14 or younger." They also note that while water could be dangerous for everyone not following proper safety guidelines, children ages 1 to 4 have the highest drowning rates. So, while water may seem totally harmless before you have kids, it is a real danger potential when you have kids.

Pot, Pez Dispensers Filled With Smack All the Rage on Wall Street
This explains a lot.
Cocaine has lost its cachet among investing professionals, according to drug-testing firm Sterling Infosystems, which has concluded that marijuana, or as it is known on the Street, "Jimmy Cayne's Little Helper," has become the drug of choice among finance professionals. (This explains Stanley Druckenmiller's emotional announcement that he was retiring to play golf and this missive from Bill Gross)
Other types of depressants are on the rise, too, due to the credit crisis and because "finance workers feel entitled to illicit drugs, given their paychecks and stress of their jobs," drug counselors inform the Journal. Justified though they may feel, they're still attempting to hide their habits, according to William Heran, the director of Seabrook House, a 24-bed luxury rehab facility in Pennsylvania that has found itself "crammed with Wall Street refugees in recent months."
Mr. Heran has been around long enough to discern a forex trader from an M&A banker. He says the rage these days is a Pez dispenser with the head of a red devil. Inside? Pills of Oxycodone or Percocet.
We think it's probably because they don't want to share.

- Conference date: 18–20 December 2012
- Location: Palm Garden Hotel, Putrajaya, Malaysia
Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) cryptosystem is a well known asymmetric cryptosystem and it has been applied in a very wide area. Many researches with different approaches have been carried out in order to improve the security and performance of RSA cryptosystem. The enhancement of the performance of RSA cryptosystem is our main interest. In this paper, we propose a new method to increase the efficiency of RSA by shortening the number of plaintext before it goes under encryption process without affecting the original content of the plaintext. Concept of simple Continued Fraction and the new special relationship between it and Euclidean Algorithm have been applied on this newly proposed method. By reducing the number of plaintext-ciphertext, the encryption-decryption processes of a secret message can be accelerated.

Microsoft's Zune Bids for Piece of iPod's Turf
After watching Apple dominate the portable mp3 player market, Microsoft offers its challenge to the iPod: the Zune, which is being released today.
In addition to its built-in radio, the Zune offers the ability to share songs with other Zune owners wirelessly (for three plays or three days before being given the option to buy them).
But the Zune will be incompatible with songs from the iTunes Music Store, and songs using Microsoft's own PlaysForSure system of digital-rights management.
With a design that at least superficially echoes that of the iPod, it remains to be seen who will buy Microsoft's new player.

All Rise...
Judge Ryan Keefer believes that this show may be the only one that has a recorder as part of its theme song.
Editor's Note
Our reviews of Taxi: The Complete First Season (published November 17th, 2004), Taxi: The Complete Second Season (published March 23rd, 2005), and Taxi: The Fourth Season (published October 14th, 2009) are also available.
The Charge
"I wonder about things; like, if they call an orange an 'orange,' why don't they call an apple a 'red,' or a banana a 'yellow.' Now 'blueberries' I can understand, but somebody explain 'gooseberries' to me."
Opening Statement
Arrested Development is an outstanding show, but it shares some similarities with Taxi. Both were critically appreciated, and both experienced problems holding an audience, as ABC cancelled Taxi after the fourth season of the show, before NBC picked it up. So was the third season the reason why ABC decided to push forward with their numbskull decision?
Facts of the Case
Reviewing some of the creative forces behind Taxi, they're a veritable who's-who of situation comedy. And even when some could consider Season Three to be an off-year, the show was still nominated for nine Emmy Awards, winning them for categories like Best Actor Judd Hirsch (Independence Day), Supporting Actor Danny DeVito (Batman Returns), Best Comedy Series, and separate awards in writing and directing.
Hirsch as moral center (and full-time cabbie) Alex Rieger is the rock of the show, and DeVito provides many of the laughs and a distasteful façade to outsiders as dispatcher Louie DePalma. As Elaine Nardo, Elaine Henner (Chasers) is the glamour of the show, while Bobby Wheeler (Jeff Conaway, Jawbreaker) is the beefcake. Tony Banta (Tony Danza, Angels in the Outfield) is the dimwitted semi-pro fighter, and Reverend Jim Ignatowski (Christopher Lloyd, Back to the Future) is the burnt-out, drugged up former hippie who lives a unique existence. These are the people who comprise Sunshine Cab Company in early '80s New York City, and I haven't even mentioned Latka Gravas, portrayed by the outstanding comic Andy Kaufman. Latka was the name of the "Foreign Man" character that Kaufman had been doing in clubs for years, before finally receiving a proper vehicle for his talents.
The Evidence
Season Three's 20-episode run is spread over four discs, with five episodes each. The third season is comprised of:
• "Louie's Rival"
• "Tony's Sister and Jim"
• "Fathers of the Bride"
• "Elaine's Strange Triangle"
• "Going Home"
• "The Ten-Percent Solution"
• "The Call of the Mild"
• "Latka's Cookies"
• "Thy Boss's Wife"
• "The Costume Party"
• "Elaine's Old Friend"
• "Out of Commission"
• "Zen and the Art of Cab Driving"
• "Louie's Mother"
• "Bobby's Roommate"
• "Louie Bumps Into an Old Lady"
• "Bobby and the Critic"
• "On the Job (1)"
• "On the Job (2)"
• "Latka the Playboy"
In reviewing the crew on the show, they comprise some of the more memorable names of situation comedy in the last quarter century. Among the familiar names are director James L. Brooks (Terms of Endearment), who helped to kick off a little show called The Simpsons, with the help of Richard Sakai and Sam Simon. Writing brothers Glen and Les Charles helped create a show about a bar called Cheers. Director James Burrows has played a part in Friends and Will and Grace. Then-writer David Lloyd went on to produce Frasier. Fellow writer Barry Kemp helped create Newhart. And before the show, Stan Daniels was a writer on The Mary Tyler Moore Show along with Ed. Weinberger. When it comes to pedigree, few shows appear to match it. Even when it wasn't in peak form (as I believe Season Three is), its B game was superior to everyone else's A game. There are some moments of poignancy, others of sadness, and others of absolute hilarity. It's not the best season of the show, but it's still pretty close.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
Three seasons, 12 or so discs of fun and goodness, and not one retrospective documentary? Conaway's adventures on his brief time in Celebrity Fit Club aside, getting all of the surviving cast aside for three to five minutes to answer questions on ANY of these seasons would be cool to see. I can stop Conaway from mowing my yard for a second to do it, so we've got him, somebody get the rest of the cast on the phone.
Closing Statement
If you want to see how ensemble comedy was working when you were growing up and since WKRP in Cincinnati isn't coming to video anytime soon, this is the show to watch. You've got hilarity and emotion in a good mix by some of the best people that orchestrate it.
The Verdict
The show and its creators are found guilty for falling in a trap of being ahead of their time. ABC is found guilty for letting this show go in the first place for whatever reason in that era.

Did we give Taxi: The Complete Third Season a fair trial? yes / no
