Celebrities lead ABC hurricane relief
Barbara Walters, George Stephanopoulos and Mark Cuban are taking out their checkbooks for Superstorm Sandy relief on ABCs Day of Giving.
ABC said Monday that Walters donated $250,000 to the American Red Cross, and Stephanopoulos $50,000.
Throughout its programming Monday, the network has been urging viewers to give money to the organization to help victims of the storm, which hit New Jersey and the New York metropolitan area particularly hard.
Through early afternoon, ABC raised more than $10 million, with the biggest gift being $3 million from the Samsung Corp. Cuban, the Dallas Mavericks owner, made an unspecified donation. Other Disney-owned networks, like ESPN, are participating.
Aerosmith plays free concert in Boston
Thousands of fans filled a Boston street to watch Aerosmith play a concert in front of the building where band members once lived.
People hung out windows, crowded fire escapes and stood on roofs on Commonwealth Avenue to watch a show meant to encourage voting and promote the bands new album, Music from Another Dimension!, which comes out today.
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was among those attending Mondays show, getting on stage after the band arrived in an amphibious tour vehicle.
Boston University student Becca Emmetts, who lives in Aerosmiths former building, sent a friend to her physics class with this message explaining her tardiness: Aerosmith was playing on my front stoop.

Albion wins to stay alive in junior legion state tourney
FREEMANSBURG -- Albion Post 567 remained alive in the Pennsylvania Junior Legion state tournament Monday with a 2-1 walkoff win over Norwin.
Ethan Laird's safety squeeze scored Jon Solberg with the winning run. Pete Buckowski picked up the complete-game win on the mound for Albion.
Albion has won back-to-back elimination games since dropping into the losers' bracket Saturday with a 12-2 loss to Conestoga, which has since been knocked out of the tournament. Albion beat Hempfield East 3-2 Sunday and now meets Nether Providence today with a berth in the state final at stake.

If by "reform" we mean removing government-imposed obstacles in order to allow a more competitive free-market private-sector environment, then I'm all for it.
For example, allowing insurance companies to compete in all markets nationwide, without heed to state borders, strikes me as a good thing.
Removing barriers to increased free-market competition is Basic Economics 101.
In the news on Aug. 26, (Associated Press, "Health care overhaul"), it seems Obama has finally realized that his plan to turn our entire health insurance industry into a government-run adjunct to Medicare and the Veterans' Administration system, the single-payer plan is falling into ruins at his feet.
He's open to the alternative of co-ops that are independently operated, purportedly abandoning his dedication to the single-payer approach.
If by "co-ops" we're talking about the insurance industry equivalent of what credit unions are to the banking industry, I have no problem with this idea. As a matter of fact, this plan already exists.
For example, Sears doesn't use outside vendors to provide health insurance to its employees. It self-insures, which is essentially a co-op operated for the benefit of Sears employees. Many large companies do exactly this.
On the other hand, if were talking about co-ops wherein the government would still step in and use taxpayer dollars to pay the premiums of poor people, especially if participation is mandated, then this is simply the single-payer program in stealth mode.
There are three repugnant aspects of the single-payer plan: government funding, loss of the individual's autonomy on issues of his
own health care, and any mandate that people participate at all if they choose to not do so. Any program that moves forward must avoid all of these aspects.
If the current national debate moves from single-payer and public option - meaning supplied by the government at taxpayer expense - to co-op, it's going to become extremely important to keep a very wary eye on just exactly what that means.
If co-ops are nothing more than government-operated and funded programs, then this is nothing more than another cynical manipulation of language, just as taxes have become fees and contributions.
Some important facts to be aware of: According to the most recent Gallup poll on the topic in November 2007, 83 percent of Americans rated the health care they receive as excellent or good, and 70 percent rated their health care coverage (insurance) as excellent or good.
This is reinforced by other polls, including one by Fox News which also reveal another very fascinating bit of information: Only 8.4 million of the uninsured are dissatisfied with their health care in any way.
Wait a second! I thought there were 40 million or so people who were being left out in the cold. What happened?
I guess our system is already set up to take care of the uninsured through emergency rooms, charitable organizations and other existing options.
There is no crisis. This whole issue has been manufactured out of thin air by nanny-staters to impose ever more control over everybody by Big Government.

HONOLULU - Hawaii legislators charged with negotiating the state budget have agreed to a $23.8 billion biennium budget proposal - including $130 million for the Kihei high school.
State Sen. Roz Baker, who represents South and West Maui, reported Tuesday night that the long-awaited high school received its full funding for the 2015 fiscal year, which means the school can be built all at once instead of in phases.
This will mean a savings of between $20 million and $25 million to the state - the cost of a new elementary school, Baker said Tuesday evening. Like Kamalii Elementary, which was built by Maui developer Everett Dowling, the school will be put out to bid in its entirety.
"On July 1, 2015, the department can go full steam ahead," she said in an email.
"Mahalo to Representative (Kaniela) Ing and our good friends who chair the House Finance and Senate Ways and Means committees and the governor for putting it in his budget," she said in the email.
Although the governor requested $130 million, it appeared at times during the legislative session that the high school would receive only a portion of the money and be built in phases.
"What a first session it has been," said Ing, who represents South Maui, in an email Tuesday night, while complimenting Baker. "It feels great to be a member of such a strong Maui team."
Baker also reported that the agreed upon budget includes $20 million for the purchase of Lipoa Point on the west side from Maui Land & Pineapple Co. During recent General Plan discussions, groups sought to have the coastal lands surrounding and north of Honolua Bay designated for conservation from agriculture. ML&P resisted, saying the change would jeopardize pension agreements for its workers.
The $23.8 billion state budget proposal falls about $262 million short of Gov. Neil Abercrombie's request.
A committee made up of House and Senate negotiators approved the bill Tuesday evening, along with budget proposals for the Judiciary and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
The state budget includes more than $3 billion for capital improvement projects, including more than $400 million for school infrastructure repairs. Lawmakers also announced millions in funding for health care, education and nonprofits.

Shakshuka. Again. I am loving that stuff! Instead of putting it into the oven to cook the eggs, though, I just cover the pan while it is on the stove-top. Four minutes makes a perfectly poached egg. I leave my tomatoes/peppers/onions a little chunky, and slurp it up with a spoon. So good!
Also, some bacon, but next to the shakshuka it is definitely a supporting player. (Never thought I'd say that about bacon!)

Even the president of the Pennsylvania Winery Association can't believe he's looking for a day of rain.
"Some of these plants haven't had rain, they actually might be shutting down a little bit," said Sam Landis, an integral part of the operation at Vynecrest Winery in Breinigsville in addition to his duties with the state organization. "At this point, they're extremely stressed out."
Still, he's not complaining about the growing season or the harvest to date. Landis used the words "unheard of" several times during the phone conversation earlier this week to describe the 2010 vintage. "This is our 34th harvest and, by far, the hottest, driest best harvest weatherwise that we've ever seen. We don't have anything to go off in terms of past history, because we've never seen anything like this."
Most of the whites across the state have been picked, he said. At Vynecrest, they were harvesting Riesling this week, leaving only the Vidal Blanc on the vine, he said. "Wineries I talked to picked Chardonnay the first week of September, which is unheard of," Landis said. These white grapes are coming in with a higher than normal brix level, maybe 23 or 24. To the layman, that should mean a higher alcohol content and intense flavors. "They call a year like this a year for reds," he said, "but the whites are just going to have such flavor coming in. And that's what we're seeing."
Meanwhile, the reds continue to hang and ripen, their sugar levels rising by the day. Landis called the current scenario "uncharted territory" as wineries try to determine when to strip their wines clean of grapes.
"This would be a great time of year to get someone from California in here just to tell us some of the things that they see," Landis said. "There are pitfalls with such a good year, such as alcohols being real high and pHs being unstable because the grapes are so ripe. It probably would be good to have someone come in from there, have a seminar or roundtable discussion. [But that won't happen now.]"
While East Coast winemakers and wineyard managers assess their well-ripened grapes, their counterparts in California are sweating out a harvest that follows one of the coolest and wettest years on record, Landis said. "We're going to be trying to make wine like California, and they're going to make wine like the East Coast. We should send someone out there [to serve as a consultant] and they should send someone here."

A fugitive in the slaying of his ex-girlfriend in Winters told a Las Vegas judge he fears for his safety, but won't contest his transfer in custody to face murder and probation violation charges.
Winters police: Suspect to be charged in death of Winters woman
William Carl Gardner III told Justice of the Peace Joe M. Bonaventure that unspecified people threatened to kill him in California.
The judge responded that Gardner needed to lodge his concerns with jailers.
The 30-year-old Gardner surrendered to police and U.S. marshals early Tuesday after an hours-long standoff at a Las Vegas apartment.
He had been sought in the Nov. 18 shooting death of 32-year-old Leslie Pinkston in a vehicle in downtown Winters.
Pinkston was the mother of a 6-year-old girl. Police said she obtained a protection order against Gardner after previous confrontations.

Eamon Sullivan's 'booze and brunette' therapy to beat Stephanie Rice bluesWashington, September 5 : American scientists have unc
Submitted by Nina Sahu on Fri, 09/05/2008 - 12:17
Melbourne, Sept 5 : It looks like Olympian Eamon Sullivan has turned to 'booze and brunette' therapy to get over his break-up with swim star Stephanie Rice.
The silver medallist visited the Harbour City for just one night on sponsorship duties, where he started with dinner at Ivy before heading to popular backpackers meeting point, Scubar, reports Herald Sun.
After downing 'plenty' of 5-dollar cocktails, Sullivan apparently made friends with international fans, including the American barmaid, Lindsey Weissert.
Sullivan and his gang were forced to leave the Haymarket bar at closing time, but took Weissert with them to Kinselas Hotel around 2.30am.
According to onlookers, "Eamon and (Lindsey) were touchy-feely and looking very friendly" as they downed rounds of vodka, lime and sodas.
Staff said that the pair left together around 5am, but Sullivan''s management said he still made a Perth-bound flight that afternoon. (ANI)

A statement late Tuesday night from Walberg's office explained his vote this way:
"I am extremely disappointed after all the negotiations and effort that went into avoiding the so-called 'fiscal cliff', the president and Congress again put off meaningful action to reduce spending and secure the future for our children and grandchildren. Again, with our economy struggling, it's clear that Washington missed an opportunity to promote tax and spending policies that will grow our economy over the long-term.
"I believe the federal government needs to live within its means, because trillion-dollar deficits threaten our economy and opportunities for future generations. I will continue to support immediate spending reductions, reforming our tax code and a Balanced Budget Amendment to hold Congress accountable and require fiscal responsibility. It is my hope that this will begin in the next Congress and lead to a long-term solution."
The implications of this compromise will be felt all year. Taxes will be increasing for many, while Congress still will have to take up raising the debt ceiling and other issues in the coming months.

Caterham Cars may have built a name for itself by continuing production of the vaulted Seven long after Lotus Cars grew wary of the design, but it appears the firm may once again have aspirations to build a new sports car design.
Autocar says the British sports car specialist will unveil an new model at the annual Autosport International trade show, which takes place next month in Birmingham, England. According to the British publication, the new Caterham won't be yet another special-edition variant of the evergreen Seven, but an all-new model that "stays true" to the lithe, minimalist spirit of the current roadster.
Rumors of a new Caterham model first surfaced back in 2008, when the company became involved with Project Splitwheel, a Web venture that promised users a communal chance to help influence — if not design — a new sports car. We highly doubt the new Caterham is tied to the project, which was shelved earlier this year for numerous reasons.
Instead, this new Caterham model is expected to be a track-only offering, which i surprising given the Autosport debut. Presently, the company has no single offering designed expressly for racing, although a number of its models, including the Superlight R300, R400, and R500, are modified for specialized race series.
Although the company has introduced numerous new engines, engineering changes, and trim levels since assuming Seven production in 1973, this new model marks only the second time Caterham has ventured to offer a second model line. In 1994, the company launched the 21, a shapely, modern-looking roadster built around Seven mechanicals. The venture was largely unsuccessful, however; 200 examples were planned but fewer than 50 were actually built.

ELKINS - An Elkins man was charged with wanton endangerment with a firearm Wednesday for pulling a gun on an individual at a local bar in August, according to police.
Timothy Adam Marshall, 26, was arrested after police were dispatched to Lexy's Bar on Davis Avenue on Aug. 25 for an alleged domestic dispute between Marshall and a female inside the bar and a second dispute between Marshall and a different individual in front of the bar, according to the criminal complaint.
When the responding officer, Senior Patrolman B.D. Tice, arrived on scene, a large crowd was gathered in the middle of Davis Avenue and in the parking lot of Gino's. Police found "a white male wearing a black shirt walking towards (police) with what appeared to be a black... hand gun," and Tice responded as he "drew his service weapon and ordered the man to put the gun on the ground," according to the criminal complaint. The man was eventually identified as T.J. Shockley, the bouncer for Lexy's Bar, the complaint states.
Shockley complied and placed the weapon at his feet and the investigating officer could see that the "weapon did not have a magazine inserted but was still unsure if the weapon was loaded," according to the complaint. After Tice restrained Shockley, bystanders identified the man who was reported to have pulled the gun as Timothy Adam Marshall. Tice found Marshall in a Ford pick-up truck in the parking lot, according to the complaint.
Tice reportedly ordered Marshall to come toward him and Marshall refused to do so at first, but eventually complied, the complaint stated. Marshall was promptly restrained, searched and placed in the officer's patrol car for safety, police said.
Tice spoke with several individuals who were present at the scene who said Marshall was escorted out of the building by Shockley. Marshall then "reportedly turned towards Shockley, reached under the front of his shirt, and pulled a pistol from the front of his waist band," and "pulled the slide assembly back, engaging a bullet into the barrel and then pointing the weapon at Shockley," according to the criminal complaint. Shockley told police he ran back inside.
According to the police report, Marshall "was then reportedly at a Ford pick-up in the parking lot where one of the bouncers told (Marshall) to leave the area and then the defendant reportedly pulled the gun again, and that was when the bouncer hit the defendant in the head and was able to get the gun away from him."
Marshall told Tice that "he was leaving the bar after being asked by a bouncer (to leave) and went to the Ford pick-up truck...when he was supposedly jumped by four males wearing black shirts," according to the criminal complaint. Tice wrote that he heard this same story from both Marshall and some witnesses who either would not give a statement or were too intoxicated to provide one, according to police.
The gun in question was identified as a black Glock 23 .40 caliber. Two magazines were found on the premises: one that was loaded and was reported to have been inserted in the pistol, and another that was empty that was found inside the bar and given to Tice while still on the scene scene, according to the complaint.
Marshall claimed that when he was in the bar he "had the pistol in a holster on the front of his pants visible to the public," and told the officer that he and his girlfriend had an argument in the bar, which resulted in him being asked to leave by Shockley, according to the complaint. The girlfriend was not present when Tice tried to locate her, police said.
Marshall was transported to the Elkins Police Department for processing and tests, including a preliminary breathing test. Marshall's blood alcohol content was measured at 0.097 percent, according to police.
After the tests, Marshall was taken to Davis Memorial Hospital for observation, where he "was instructed several times by staff not to remove his collar due to possible injuries," the complaint states. Marshall "became very irate and removed his collar and IV without permission," according to police. Tice was finally able to restrain Marshall and put his clothes back on despite Marshall's resistance, the complaint alleges.
While at the hospital Marshall was instructed by nurses to urinate in a bottle so his urine could be tested "for his kidneys," the complaint states. Marshall dumped the urine into the sink in his hospital room "so they couldn't test it," according to the complaint. Marshall was released by the hospital and then transported to Tygart Valley Regional Jail.
Marshall was arraigned by Magistrate Rob Elbon and is being held in TVRJ on a $10,000 cash bond.

It's OK to Not Like Flamin' Hot Cheetos
It's OK...
...that I tried out the "Flamin' Hot" Cheetos and don't really like them.
...that I burst into tears last night when my NYCM t-shirt and gloves arrived.
...that M and I had a Wendy's date last night in my car with Louie in the backseat.
...that I lay in bed catching up on Revenge and Nashville last night.
...to want to go for a run so badly it hurts.
...to still be absolutely loving my job, even after a month and a half.
...to be that girl who was excited to come to work on Monday morning.
...to have two coffees sitting on my desk.
...to have eaten a rice krispie treat for breakfast.
...that I'm pumped about watching Avatar in 3-D at home this weekend.
...to be planning a trip to getaway in the next few weeks.

My first attempt at a hexapod walker.
I was so impressed by the video of the Pololu hexapod walker I thought I'd have a go at one of my own. This is a rebuild of my initial attempt using a PicAxe 08m. It's still held together with small dabs of hot-glue and will-power. I've refined the 'just make it do something' code and the new movement routine will be at the core of the program once I move this to an 18x. Currently it can dance and vibrate and can go forwards, backwards and rotate left and right at anything from an absolute crawl to full speed. Still a bit of code tweaking needed to get gradual turns left and right and optimise the leg sweep.
The component layout is different to the Pololu model, having the batteries underneath and the servos at the front. The beads on the feet give it a carpet capability but still some experimentation to do here. For the gait to work, there has to be some slip but not too much. (*Just discovered - the mid legs need grip - I've taken the beads off the middle and now it's brilliant on carpet*) The pics and video are pretty rough - short of time at the moment, but I will post something better as it develops.
I'll be using an 18x later as code space on the 'm' range is too tight for the things I've got planned. I want to include elements of my Instructables 'Piecax' project in here as well as obstacle avoidance with a Sharp IR sensor.
I like the feet. Mabe a soft silicon or rubber may work better.
That's a great little hexapod!
It seems quite agile - and I especially like the colorful feet. Do you mind if I add your robot to the list at the end of my tutorial?

Swingers Clubs ruled legal in Canada
Newsfilter: Sex Clubs OK in Canada ruled the Supreme Court yesterday in a 7-2 decision that drastically alters the definition of indecency in this country. What will be the results of this far-reaching change? Will gay bathhouses and marijuana growing be affected? Will there be anti-social behaviour?

there I was without a face

I did not know what to say, my mouth

my eyes were blind,

faint, without substance, pure

Sioux Morning Star
Lately, I have been playing occasional matches with
Sioux, and they do as great as iro! after seeing many troll strategies, I decided
to contribute to agecomm, and post a strategy I have being testing against a few people.
After all, hardly any decent strategies have been posted for a while. As the title inquires, this is a unique strategy for Sioux, and it requires using Morning Star.
Now I know most of u hardly plays Sioux often, so you'll be asking… What the
heck is the Morning Star??? Well I'll explain it to u later in this strategy. Now I'll
just go into the basics of Sioux as I know most of you aren't familiar with
this civilization.
1. Sioux
2. Sioux
3. Pros
of Sioux
4. Cons
of Sioux
5. Required
6. Recommended
7. The
Strategy Guide
8. Tips
9. Conclusion
Sioux cavalry
The Sioux have an
exceptionally wide range of cavalry.
Warchief - The Sioux OP unit.
He has a speed of 7.76 or 8.10 if your in TWC and boosts the speed of your nearby units.
Axe Rider - This unit has less
HP than a hussar, however, its beastly damage output + the OP warchief speed boost
makes it an epic combo for raiding.
Bow Rider - Good ranged
cavalry unit. Unlike most RC (ranged cav), it is available in the 2nd
age. To make matters better, it doesn't have a -0.5 multiplier against civilian
units making them speedy and deadly against settlers when mixed with the OP warchief.
Rifle Rider -
Clearly the best RC against HI. OP RR can wipe out battalions of rodelero,
janissary, musketeer, and basically any HI, cav and artillery. Unfortunately,
this unit can only be trained in the 3rd age L.
Tashunke Prowlers -
This unit is totally UP when in low numbers. However, if u have all 12 of them,
then their attack and HP stack up to form an OP formidable army. Their stealth
ability can ambush armies and can take out a lot of soldiers if u unstealth
them right in front of your enemy's army. IMO the tashunke spam takes a bit too
long. I don't recommend it until you have mastered it.
Dog Soldier - I know u can only
spawn them via the firepit, but the 2 dog soldier shipment in age 2 can change
the whole outcome of the battle as dog soldiers = OP in age 2.
Sioux infantry
Hey guess what? Sioux inf isn't as bad as everyone expects! That is because they are OP
Cetan Bow – The easiest Sioux
strat to master is probably cetan spam IMO, but that's not what this strat is
Warclub – The warclub just
isn't a great all-purpose unit. But, if u need a bit of siege and extra
anti-cav, then warclub is your man. Warclub also is extremely fast around the chief and he is cheap so a great and fast siege unit.
Wakina Rifle –
Wakina is really OP. They r cheap as heck and aren't that bad compared to
3] Pros of Sioux
No housing – Sioux start with
200 pop, so you don't have to worry about chopping wood for houses. IMO this is
what makes the Sioux rush only 1 notch below India and Iroquois. Also u can
send beastly outlaw cards without worrying about pop.
Warchief – The Sioux has the
fasted OP explorer unit in the game, so take advantage of that and scout scout
scout! Good to scout the whole map for good treasures and enemy TC. Also its
speed boost is very useful, so always make sure to put it behind cav when
raiding. Or put it behind RR (rifle rider) and it will be able to Hit & run
like no other.
Cavalry – Sioux has a wide
range of cavalry, and most of them are OP for raiding, so make sure u make the
right choice of cav combos. EG: RR + Axe rider + just a few Wakina Pwns all combos.
Cons of Sioux
Walling – The great Sioux
nation has no walls, so always stay alert. And try not to lag the game to
industrial in a 1v1 where Sioux gets weaker.
Economy – The most know
disadvantage of Sioux is its apparent bad economy, but it doesn't seem that bad
IMO. Just don't go imperial fighting because the disadvantage of no walls + bad
eco will make u lose.
Now for the big question… What is Morning Star???
Morning Star gives your Axe Riders the nature friendship ability! As many of you know there is a lot of treasures on the maps so this is extremely OP since you can take all the map treasure guardians and attack your enemies base with them!
Now ladies and gentlemen… I bring you the Sioux Morning Star!!!
Required cards
3 villagers – I think none need
to be said here
4 axe riders –
Also obvious
700 food – This card helps u
get 5 axe riders out as they cost a LOT of food. Also, it helps u gain 100 XP
and that means a faster Morning Star.
3 axe riders – U
have a choice of either 700 food or 3 axe riders. I prefer 700 food as it gives
u that valuable 100XP, but if ur getting pushed back, then I recommend this
Recommended cards
700 gold – If ur RR r dead,
and ur enemy crippled, I recommend u fortresize and train a few of the OP
wakina and RR.
7 warclubs – To take down that
pesky TC.
10 pistolero –
This can actually be a very useful card. Good siege and big attack.
15 bison – Axe riders cost a
lot of food so if u run out of hunts, then send this card
4 villagers – A good economic
card. Gets that eco running again.
6 cetan bow/3 grizzly bears –
Just in case.
The Strategy
Standard age 1. I won't waste my time explaining what to
do. OP Warchief scout for good treasures. If u started with 100 gold, then scout
for XP treasures as it will help u Morning Star earlier. If u started with no
gold, then simply gather a few gold treasures. 1st card 3 villagers.
Age up around 3:00 with 'The chief' politician (400 wood).
Transition: depends on how much gold u have at the
moment. 100 gold: 2 villies on coin. 200 gold: 1 villie on gold. No gold: 3
villies on coin. Send villies to herd 2nd and sometimes the 3rd
herd in the case of Great Plains.
Age 2: as soon as u age, send the 4 axe rider card. It needs
to be out as soon as possible for raiding. Send 3 villies to gather wood. As soon
as u have 200 wood, send 4 villies to build a corral. 4 axe riders will arrive
around 5:20. Corral build around 5:25. As soon as the corral is built, queue 5
axe riders. Join the warcheif with the 4 axe rider shipment and raid. Raiding
is very important. Sioux has not so good eco, and the only way to balance that
is to degrade ur opponent's eco. 3rd shipment should be ready as
soon as ur 5 axe rider comes out. Queue another 5 axe riders and then send 700
food. Like i said, send military shipment if ur been rushed hard. But if u can
restrain it, send 700 food. Keep pumping out villagers! 2nd batch of
axe out around 6:45. Queue 1 axe rider and when the 700 food arrives, u should
have enough food to train 4 more. Always keep resources balanced. U need a 4:1
food to gold resource ratio as soon as 4th shipment is ready, send Morning Star. 2/5 way though the shipment, line as much axe riders as u
possibly can. The point is for your current axe riders to Gather all the Teasure Guardians,
but your going to have another 5 axe riders to take of those pesky LI. Keep queuing
Force: 19 Axe Riders +25 Treasure guardians + OP WarChief
The Treasure guardians can easily take on an army of 50+musketeers and
not die. Just stand and fight because the muskets will run scattered so just pick
them off. The axe riders are important! They are the only way to destroy LI
efficiently. Make sure u micro well. 4th card is of your choice. 7 war-clubs if u think u need extra siege. 10 Pistolero if u have enough coin.
Etc... Just pick the right card for the situation that u r in right now. From now
on, it's totally up to your choice what to do.
8] Tips
The treasure guardians is VERY important. If they die, you can't get them back since there is no more on the map! So make sure u have your OP war chief behind they'll be able to move faster then normal.
If your Treasure guardians die it will have at least made your enemy's
economy momentarily stun. And so I suggest u fortress. You will be able to control
him better if u have an OP Wakina+ RR + Teepee and they're fighting with colonial
units. Just keep on scouting out what he is doing, cause he's either doing 2 things: Fortress age or massing colonial units. If hes massing colonial, then build a chop
wood and build a war hut. That way, as soon as you reach fortress age, you will be
able to train OP Wakina.
The Morning Star Variation 2: instead of
aging up with 400 wood, age up with 500 food. You will be able to train more axe
riders however, u do need to chop 200 wood to build a corral. The reason I used
400 wood is because I can build a war hut or another corral when I need to. Its
totally up to your choice. If u want a bigger force, then age up with 500 food,
if u want to train some war hut units (e.g.: Warclub for siege), then I suggest
u age up with 400 wood.
This strategy worked very well against Dutch. They
only have pike as age 2 HI and Treasure guardians hit & run pike. U can use the higher attack to destroy your enemy and take down his HI etc. This strategy works the best for civilizations
that don't have ranged LI. The only civilizations i don't recommend this against is
India, China, or another Sioux opponent. I saw this because they are all able to
train RC in age 2 and Axe Riders gets pwned by RC.
Soz for the no replays. I forgot to make it recently. Well.
That concludes my Sioux Morning Star Guide. I hope u enjoyed it and feel free
to use this strategy and make suggestions about making this strategy more OP. i hope this helps u be more familiar with Sioux.
Edit: This strategy has been written in part by Grandevous all instances not involving Sioux Morning Star and OP belong wholly to Grandevous. All parts involving Sioux Morning Star and OP belong to TacticalWillie
RainbowZ:TacticalWillie should stop noobbashing colonels.
kittychix:If you know your behaviour or language is going to result in a ban, and continue with the actions anyway...you are heading in a direction of less then temporary action.
Jerom:morning star is not equal to the evening star :P
i used it on earth once and got 7 outlaw rifleman, 6 pirates, and 8 Bears and i also made some war clubs that took out enemy's houses.
However, these guardians after being converted have reduced hp and speed (rifleman goes from 7 speed - > 4.88, down to around 100 hp) and feature a negative bonus vs buildings and villagers. dont raid with them use the axe riders and try to hit run with the guardians.
That being said, Grandevous's sioux strategy works about 9.99999E99 times better in a Real game not a conscript bashing game.
copy/paste = plagiarism dude. Definition from WPA: "In an instructional setting, plagiarism occurs when a writer deliberately uses someone else's language, ideas, or other original (not common-knowledge) material without acknowledging its source." Using someone's language is bad whether its commong material or not.
And there are several specifics to the strat that you include via copy/paste.
Plus, as pointed out, the strat is bad.
AT school plagiarism is when you just copy paste lol.
Lame teacherssss
Jerom:AT school plagiarism is when you just copy paste lol.Lame teacherssss
Stupid Willie stole my strat and made it look retarded.
Grandevous: Jerom:AT school plagiarism is when you just copy paste lol.Lame teacherssss Stupid Willie stole my strat and made it look retarded.
I don't know if he had to do that much to make it look retarded hahahahaha
just kidding mate.
Grandevous:No plagiarism men.

When he was still in high school, Adam Rodgers went on one of those college tours with his dad. At about the eighth university on the trip, Wesleyan in Middletown, Conn., he and a girl on the tour got separated from the group, and "played tour hooky for about an hour."
She was spontaneous and free spirited, and the memory lingered as he went to NYU film school and then moved to L.A., where he and writing partner Glenn German started pitching scripts. One of them became the gentle comedy "Middleton," starring Vera Farmiga and Andy Garcia, the Maui Film Festival's Celestial Cinema showpiece at 8 p.m. Saturday, following Taste of Wailea and the Nova Award tribute to actress Jessica Chastain.
"My 6-year-old said, 'Daddy, what kind of film is this? Is it a happy film or a sad film?' " said the director/co-writer during a recent phone interview. "And I said, 'Well, it's a little bit of everything.' "

Now that he's a dad, with his oldest daughter graduating from high school this week, Rodgers changed the story a bit. This time it's the parents who spend the day getting lost from the tour, but getting acquainted with each other . . . and themselves. It's complicated since they're married to other people.
It gives its stars the opportunity to reveal comic, sometimes goofy, gifts under their more usual dramatic screen personas.
Garcia, "who fell in love with the script" and became one of the producers, plays a cardiac surgeon, tightly wound, right down to his bow tie. Between the wardrobe and round glasses inspired by silent screen comedian Harold Lloyd, he creates the kind of vulnerability that his more typical screen roles would eat for breakfast.
Farmiga, best known for her Oscar-nominated "Up in the Air" and Martin Scorsese's Oscar-winning "The Departed," got to be free spirited and funny this time.
Rodgers knew her for her "fundamentally dramatic roles - but it looked like she had a wicked sense of humor."
She turned out to be "charming, joyful - and a bit of a goofball."
Her daughter is played by Taissa Farmiga, who isn't really her daughter, but her sister, born 21 years after Vera. That connection gave the actresses "a kind of shorthand," that worked into the flow of letting the actors improvise and enhance the script.
"The whole movie has to feel like it's happening in one day, so it has to feel spontaneous," said Rodgers.
With its collegiate backdrop, "Middleton" taps into that sense of giddy excitement of young infatuation - for the not-so-young.
"I think a lot of people have experiences like this, maybe standing in line at the grocery store, and there's a connection of some sort, that's beyond explanation. This story just sort of takes it where you hope it might go, but oftentimes it doesn't."
A happy ending? Well, that's open for discussion.
"It's open to interpretation for the audience. They maybe transfer some of their own feelings about their own relationships to it. We've had some people come out of the movie feeling rejuvenated and uplifted and others walk out of the movie looking a little somber."
For Rodgers, "It stays afloat largely on charm. It's a joyful film - the kind of film the studios used to make, 25 or 30 years ago."
"Middleton" was picked up by the Seattle International Film Festival and "Barry (Rivers) was very gracious in Maui." Rodgers says he looks at the images of the Celestial Cinema every day on the Maui Film Festival website - "It's awesome in the true meaning of the word. We're humbled and grateful to have that opportunity."
The Maui Film Festival continues through Sunday at Wailea Resort and Maui Arts & Cultural Center. For details, visit www.mauifilmfestival.com.

Call 12 for Action is looking into steps to take before traveling outside the United States with your cell phone. Not taking these steps could leave you with a hefty, unexpected bill.
It's one thing to use your cell phone in Canada or Mexico without asking your provider about it first. In that case, a big, surprise bill is *your* problem. But as this next viewer found out, even when you take proactive steps to make sure you're not overcharged, sometimes it still happens.
"I was traveling with my father."
It's a family trip Nicole Lamanes goes on every year to Canada. She shares cell minutes with her dad on a Verizon family plan. Last year's trip resulted in a huge bill.
"Surcharges and roaming charges because we didn't change our plan and that's why we decided to take the initiative this year to call them and change our plan to the national plan so we could get Canada covered."
Nicole says Verizon changed her plan so there'd be no roaming charges on any calls or text messages while in Canada. Nicole claims a Verizon rep told her all she had to do was go into her phone's options and turn off "data roaming." Nicole followed the instructions and had no problems on the trip-- then she returned home.
"I went online because I wanted to call Verizon again to change our plan back to our regular family plan and it says current balance: $1,870."
Nicole was furious with Verizon.
"We called before we left to prevent this from happening, and she said, you should have called Verizon's tech support and they had to shut it off from their end."
Nicole says no one at Verizon every mentioned this second step, and because of the omission the two phones inadvertently racked up a huge internet bill.
"Because they're an Android and an LG, they're constantly updating from the internet and we had no idea that's what it was."
Our Call 12 Volunteers took up Nicole's case and Verizon ended up cutting her bill in half to $900. But Nicole says that's just not enough.
"I think you need to let your customers know exactly what they need to do when they're trying to be proactive about a situation to prevent charges on a cell phone."
Good news: At our insistence, Verizon took a closer look at this case and decided to cut another $600 off Nicole's bill! The $300 she ended up paying was exactly what she had anticipated for the month of her Canadian trip. Again, to avoid roaming charges in Canada on Verizon, customers need to call Verizon and switch to an international plan before they go and turn off the "data roaming" option on their phone. Verizon says there is no need to make another call to tech support. Apparently, that was wrong information passed on to our viewer.
We want to thank Verizon for stepping up and taking care of this problem once we brought it to their attention. We appreciate how they took care of their customer and our viewer.
If you use a different cell phone provider or are traveling in a different country than Canada, the roaming policy may be different from the one we've shared in this story. Make sure you talk to your provider before you leave on your trip.

Robert Keys has had the title "City Commissioner" in front of his name for a while. But now he can add the words "record-setting" to it, too.
Keys this month became the longest-serving elected official in Amarillo history by surpassing former Commissioner Dianne Bosch.
Keys, 53, was first elected to the commission in 1993 and won a seventh term last May. Bosch also was elected to seven terms, but she stepped down midway through her last one to run for Randall County Justice of the Peace.
"Commissioner Bosch indicated that to me about a year ago or so at the Civic Center ribbon cutting," Keys recalled. "She said, 'If you run again, you'll be the longest.' "
Keys said he never looked into it to see if he was reaching a record or exactly how the terms would have to be counted for his to be considered a record. It turns out no one has served more years whether counting nonconsecutive terms, combined stints as mayor and commissioner or what have you.
The longest tenures behind Bosch went to Kel Seliger, now a state Senator, who served six terms as commissioner and mayor; Kevin Knapp, who served six terms as a commissioner; Keith Adams and Trent Sisemore, who both served five terms as commissioner and mayor; and Jerry Ammerman, who served five terms as a commissioner.
Elected officials who have served 10 years or more at Amarillo City Hall:
Robert Keys, commissioner, 1993-present
Dianne Bosch, commissioner, 1989-2002
Kel Seliger, commissioner, 1989-1993, and mayor, 1993-2001
Kevin Knapp, commissioner, 1991-2003
Keith Adams, commissioner, 1983-1989, and mayor, 1989-1993
Trent Sisemore, commissioner, 1995-2001, and mayor, 2001-2005
Jerry Ammerman, commissioner, 1977-1987
Keys said he figures he was influenced in his long tenure by the longevity of people like Seliger and Sisemore, whose tenures his overlapped.
"You have to go back to and take a look, Robert is a very strong family man and very active in his church," said former City Commissioner John McKissack, who served three terms, one of which coincided with Keys' tenure.
A land surveyor by trade, Keys sometimes sees the gap between his business and political lives narrow.
His name commonly is listed as the surveyor on plat and zoning requests that go before the Amarillo Planning and Zoning Commission, a subservient board that makes recommendations to the City Commission. When those items rise to the City Commission for final approval, Keys abstains from voting on them.
"It's not required because on most of the items, it's ... less than 10 percent of my yearly income," Keys said. And his survey work is complete on a project by the time it needs city approval, so its passage or failure wouldn't affect his compensation, he said.
"But out of courtesy to all clients and all competitors, I just abstain," he said.
However, Keys doesn't abstain when the City Commission votes on the Planning and Zoning Commission's membership. In March, Keys participated in the vote to put Roy Urrutia on the planning commission. And in June 2004, Keys voted to reduce the planning commission's membership from seven to five.
Then-City Manager John Ward said the reduction was Keys' idea. The commissioner said the smaller size would make it easier for the panel to reach a quorum and avoid having to cancel meetings for lack of attendance.
"It wasn't fair for folks to come up here for a meeting and there wasn't a quorum, so then they have to come two weeks later," he said then.
Keys was concerned about being in that very position himself Dec. 12, when he appeared before the planning commission to speak on behalf of several plat requests. One was a plat for about 28 lots off Plum Creek Drive in the Quail Creek Addition - developed by Rickey Culp and for which Keys was the surveyor.
Keys said his client was anxious to get the plat approved by the year's end, but the city's planning staff asked that it be tabled to allow more time to resolve issues about a proposed alley waiver for drainage issues. Anticipating a quorum might be hard to reach for the next meeting on Dec. 28, Keys asked the Planning and Zoning commissioners to commit to attending that next meeting so a vote could be held on the item then.
Paul Williamson, vice chair of the planning commission, later said he didn't think Keys used his clout as a city commissioner to influence the subservient board's proceedings.
"That thought did not go through my mind at all," Williamson said. "Most people know him as a commissioner, I guess, but I'm a lawyer, and I've known him a whole lot longer when he was just Robert Keys & Associates. I look at him as a surveyor when he's in front of me in the P&Z."
Some eyebrows went up when Robert Keys bought the old Southwest Branch Library in July 2003. Keys now operates his business there.
The city sold the library through a sealed bidding process, and there were no legal restrictions on who could bid, City Attorney Marcus Norris said. Keys bid the highest, $375,000, and the building was his.
Years of service
Mayor Debra McCartt said she values Keys' experience as a surveyor with knowledge of city development and as a veteran commissioner.
"When I ran for mayor, I was hoping that Robert would run again because I do depend on him an awful lot for questions about certain things that he can answer," McCartt said.
Keys has been on the commission since the early days of the Amarillo Economic Development Corp., through the sale of Northwest Texas Hospital and during the recruitment of Bell Helicopter operations back to Amarillo.
Now the commission faces the battle over the city's system of voting, which has been targeted by both a lawsuit and a petition. But he doesn't see any issue as more important than another, he said.
"Some little lady or a family having a problem with a zoning issue is just as important as a Bell Helicopter, in my thoughts," he said.
Recently, Keys has played a key role in the city's efforts to put more police officers on the streets, a goal he made part of his platform when he announced his campaign for a seventh term.
But for all of his years of service, Keys says mayor is a job he wouldn't want. And he's not sure how many more years he'll serve as a city commissioner because of the time commitment, he said.

Whole Wheat Pancakes
Saturday mornings growing up meant waffles or pancakes. My mom made the BEST pancakes which made me love our Saturdays even more, but since Bisquick is no longer in my pantry I've been on the search for the best whole wheat pancake that tastes just like mom's....now, I've found it!
You NEED to try these. I promise, your health and your wallet will thank you in the future. It is a simple way to take processed foods out of your diet and eat something real and incredibly delicious. We won't be purchasing pancake mixes anymore :)
Whole Wheat Pancakes
2 c whole wheat pastry flour
4 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp buttermilk powder
1 3/4 c skim milk
2 large eggs
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla
Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add eggs, vanilla, honey and milk and mix to combine. Don't over mix.
Spray a pan with cooking spray and add your batter in spoonfuls to create your pancakes. Wait until you see a good amount of small bubbles forming on the cake (2-3 mintes) and flip. Cook on the second side for an additional 1-2 minutes. Enjoy!

Pincher Creek is a town in the southwest of Alberta, Canada. It is located immediately east of the Canadian Rockies, 101 km (63 mi) west of Lethbridge and 210 km (130 mi) south of Calgary.
For centuries before this area was settled, the Blackfoot, Peigan and Kootenai Nations lived in or frequented the region.
The town received its name in 1868 when a group of prospectors lost a pincer in the small creek at this location. These pincers would have been used as a mechanism for trimming the feet of the horses and thus had some value to the group. In 1874, the North-West Mounted Police came to southern Alberta. One of them discovered the rusting tools in the creek, and they named the area Pincher Creek.
In 1876, the NWMP established a horse farm in the area. It closed in 1881, but many of the troops stayed to help the town. James Schofield opened Pincher Creek's first store in 1884. By 1885 Pincher Creek had a store known as Schofield & Hyde General Store. Harry Hyde succeeded Schofield as Pincher Creek's first postmaster.
In 1898, Pincher Creek was incorporated a village. In 1906, the community was officially incorporated as a town and named Pincher Creek. Many residents are descendants of the pioneer families who settled there over 100 years ago.
Strong Chinook winds often blow off the mountains and Pincher Creek can be very windy. The strongest recorded wind was 177 kilometres per hour. The strong winds have given rise to a significant amount of wind farm development in the area, with the towers and blades of wind turbines being a characteristic of the scenery.
The town was severely affected by a flood that hit the area in 1995 as the peak stream flow discharge was 271 cubic meters per second
The population of the Town of Pincher Creek according to its 2013 municipal census is 3,619,[4] a 2.5% decrease from its 2008 municipal census population of 3,712.[5]
In the 2011 Census, the Town of Pincher Creek had a population of 3,685 living in 1,500 of its 1,581 total dwellings, a 1.7% change from its 2006 population of 3,625. With a land area of 10.19 km2 (3.93 sq mi), it had a population density of 361.6/km2 (936.6/sq mi) in 2011.[2]
In 2006, Pincher Creek had a population of 3,625 living in 1,504 dwellings, a 1.1% decrease from 2001. The town then had a land area of 8.84 km2 (3.41 sq mi) and a population density of 410.2/km2 (1,062/sq mi).[6]
The Kootenai Brown Pioneer Village is a popular tourist stop open year round. It was named after Kootenay Brown, who was the founder of Waterton Park. The six acre site is home to over twenty-three historical buildings, all on open exhibit. Each July, the village has a large Canada Day celebration, as well as hosting other community based events through the year. Among over 18,000 artifacts, historical archives are also located on site and accessible to the public. [7]
Pincher Creek is located 57 km (35 mi) north of Waterton Lakes National Park. The Castle Mountain Ski Resort is located 49 km (30 mi) to the southwest.
The town's mayor is Don Anderberg.
Pincher Creek is served by two newspapers, the Sun Media owned Pincher Creek Echo,[8] which publishes on Wednesdays and has been in operation since 1900.[citation needed] and the locally owned Shootin' the Breeze which has been serving the community since 2011. Shootin' the Breeze is published in print weekly on Wednesdays and is available online at www.shootinthebreeze.ca. It is also served by an online news website, the Pincher Creek Voice, established in 2011.
Pincher Creek is served by Mountain Radio, a country music station based in nearby Blairmore. Mountain Radio's Pincher Creek transmitter can be heard on 92.7 FM.[citation needed]

Time to dust off the rose-colored spectacles as General Motors celebrates over seven decades of the Chevrolet Suburban nameplate. What began as the Suburban Carryall — replete with three rows of seating, a manual transmission, and a wooden roof — has morphed into a luxurious, full-size people carrier. Modernity notwithstanding, which generation was your favorite?
Although "generations" of Suburbans have been as short as two years and as long as 18 (that's not a typo; 1973-1991 was, admittedly, a long generation), each one has occupied a different, and progressively larger spot in American automotive history. The first Suburbans, which accompanied the Carryall tag, were mostly utilitarian workhorses; later Suburbans grew from two, to three, and eventually four doors, and offered powerplants larger than the six-cylinder original.
Perhaps your family owned one when you were young, you grew up in one, or you're a current owner — yes, Gen X and Y, we're talking to you — we want to know what you think.
Today's Snap Judgment:
Which generation of Chevrolet Suburban was your favorite?
Let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Plans to establish an all-party parliamentary group on Islamophobia have been left in disarray after its chair and one of its vice-chairs resigned over an "orchestrated lobbying campaign" from an Islamist group that backs Hamas.
The JC revealed last month that iEngage, a Muslim organisation with a track record of anti-Zionism, had been given the job of acting as the group's secretariat.
After the JC approached the chair of the group to question iEngage's involvement, Tory MP Kris Hopkins and one of his vice chairs, Labour peer Lord Janner, issued a statement distancing themselves from the group.
However, further pressure from the group has led to a split over the future role of iEngage, with LibDem Simon Hughes and Green Party MP Caroline Lucas taking the side of the Islamists.
Last week Mr Hopkins and Lord Janner announced they would be standing down from the group over the role of iEnagage.
They said: "It was our belief that the group needs to be seen as above reproach and political leaning in order to maintain trust and confidence in its work. Whilst iEngage are perfectly entitled to express their views, we did not believe it appropriate for them to do so whilst continuing to act for the group. An orchestrated lobbying campaign on behalf of iEngage since we issued our statement has only served to reinforce our opinion"
According to its website, iEngage (which also sometimes refers to itself as Engage) "is dedicated to promoting greater awareness, political participation and civic engagement among Muslims". However, it also uses its website to post polemic about Israel.
In a recent post on the leaked Palestine Papers, i-Engage appeared to go as far as backing Hamas against the Palestinian Authority as the authentic voice of the Palestinians.
In a slightly garbled response to an editorial in the Independent on January 24, iEngage stated: "The PA's complicity in the façade that is the peace process, and the 'flagrant injustice' meted out on Palestinians by both Israelis and their so-called leadership in the West Bank, strengthens Hamas's hand not for its "thriv[ing] on the culture of martyrdom" or a "rigid hostility to Israel,' as the Independent claims, but for its proving that when it seeks to represent the Palestinians in peace negotiations, that is exactly what it does."
To press home the point, there is a link to Ken Livingstone's 2009 interview with Hamas leader Khaled Meshal in the New Statesman, in which the ex-London mayor argued for dialogue with Hamas.
On Thursday, Harlow Conservative MP and the former political director of Conservative Friends of Israel Robert Halfon raised the issue in the House of Commons. He said: "iEngage has a track record of being aggressively antisemitic and homophobic, and has extensive links with terrorism in Tunisia and the Middle East.
"In its capacity as the secretariat, it now has access to the parliamentary estate."
Sir George Young, the leader of the House, said there would be a debate on all-party parliamentary groups on Monday.

What if it were you hanging up on this wall?
23 February 2010
So I kind of live in a pop-cultural vacuum, and often rely on the kindness of my friends to fill me in. Example: the following exchange, which happened in January.
Me: Hey guys, what's this song?
Exasperated friends: Uh, this is "Empire State of Mind." By Jay Z. Featuring Alicia Keys.
Me: Really? It's pretty good.
Exasperated Friends: No shit. It was the number one single on three different Billboard charts in November.
So this weekend, when I saw this commercial for the first time, I was totally amazed:
Evidently it's a revisitation of this commercial, which came out this time last year (in other words, just in time for Lent. Don't think we don't know you're catering to lazy Catholics, McDonalds):
This means I'm only about a YEAR out of the loop. Not too bad, right? I love this for so many reasons. One, the singing animatronic fish is protesting the guy eating him. I wish there was a specific word for when animals are anthropomorphized to discuss/protest our consumption of them. It happens more often than you would think, for it being such uncomfortable trope.
Second, I love how idiotically catchy the song is. The slurred vocals, the crappy synth accompaniment. It's more or less perfect. Which probably explains this:
And why this is somehow less funny:

Most soldiers guarding the Parliament were withdrawn yesterday, while barbed wire and road barriers were removed once the weekly House meetings were completed.
Opposition MPs cited the heavy presence of soldiers and tight security measures as a reason for their boycott of the House sessions on Wednesday and yesterday.
In addition, concrete barriers, fire engines and trucks at certain locations near the Parliament compound were removed so traffic could resume as normal after 4pm.
However, the U-Thong Nai Road in front of the Parliament remained closed to traffic, while police officers and some soldiers continued to be posted inside the compound, the Thai News Agency reported.
In a related development, Democrat MP Nipit Intarasombat yesterday submitted a petition with Parliament President Chai Chidchob and the Parliamentary Ombudsman's Office calling for second deputy House speaker Apiwan Wiriyachai's speech delivered at the red-shirts' protest site on Monday to be investigated.
Nipit said Apiwan, who is also an MP from the Opposition Pheu Thai Party, had made "inappropriate comments" that could be interpreted as being in contempt of the monarchy. The government MP said he believed Apiwan had violated the code of ethics for public office holders and was therefore unfit for the post of deputy House speaker.
The Democrat MP added that he would also bring this case to the National Anti-Corruption Commission.
During yesterday's House meeting, which focused on interpolation, Pheu Thai MP Thanusak Lek-uthai broke down on the House floor after hearing the prime minister's explanation of the need for tight security.
"I just wanted everything in order. I don't want to see us bickering," he sobbed.
Thanusak appeared strained when he took to the floor to question PM Abhisit Vejjajiva about the security measures, saying he was deeply distressed by the large presence of soldiers and road barricades around Parliament.
In reply, Abhisit said his government deemed the security necessary in order to prevent the Parliament from being besieged like it had been on October 7, 2008. He said the security measures were just a precaution, not a silent coup as feared and suspected by the Opposition.
"The security forces have agreed to brave the elements and safeguard the Parliament so lawmakers can work safely," he said, adding that the soldiers were not blocking the MPs from doing their jobs.
He said the authorities couldn't be complacent because certain elements among the red shirts had threatened to put Parliament under a blockade.
Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban said earlier yesterday that the soldiers and road barricades would be removed by the evening.
Chief coalition whip Witthaya Kaewparadai said Suthep had informed him of this decision yesterday, adding that the whips would meet next Tuesday to assess and review the security measures ahead of the House meetings on Wednesday and Thursday.
Senate Speaker Prasopsuk Boondet said the government had gone overboard in trying to protect the legislative building. Security checkpoints and road barricades stifled the work of the Senate, he said, adding that a large number of senators found the atmosphere too strained.
"The security is too tight and disruptive for senators to carry on with their jobs," he said.
