Fun fact: Mike LaCoss hit 2 homers during his 14-year career, and they happened in consecutive at-bats. The first was off Cardinals' utility man Dane Iorg in a blowout, the second off the Reds' Tom Browning.
And then there's this:
Hey, I'm Mike LaCoss! Check out my FORKBALL! Or split-fingered fastball, or curveball, or whatever! I don't really like to classify my pitches. The point is -- my forkball does crazy stuff! It'll bend your KNEES! I like to throw it when I'm angry, like when a batter tries to call timeout because I'm taking too long to decide which kind of forkball I want to throw! Arrrrgh! I hate that! But that's when I'll hit you off with the ol' forky and you'll be sorry you ever wasted Mike LaCoss' time! How much you wanna bet I can throw this forkball over them mountains?! One time I threw my forkball so hard that it split into four baseballs and I ended up striking out a guy in France! I didn't find out until three weeks later when the guy sent me a letter and all it said was "Nice forkball!" At least that's what I think it said because I don't read French! FREEDOM fries!

'Developing Clinical Legal Education in Ireland' Conference
Monday, 29 April 2013
Donncha O'Connell, Larry Donnelly and Kevin Kerrigan pictured at the launch of the conference
The School of Law, NUI Galway and the Public Interest Law Alliance (PILA) hosted a conference entitled, "Developing Clinical Legal Education in Ireland" on Friday 26th & Saturday 27th April 2013. The conference served as the launch of the newly-formed Irish Clinical Legal Education Association (ICLEA). The Irish Clinical Legal Education Association will seek to enhance and expand clinical legal education programmes in law schools in Ireland by providing a forum to share experiences and foster collaboration; by lobbying collectively for necessary resources; and by ensuring optimum international engagement with clinical legal educators in other jurisdictions.
This conference brought together experienced and emerging clinical legal practitioners, academics, clinical partners (e.g., NGOs, solicitors, barristers, state/quasi-state bodies) and students to explore the emergence and assess the future potential of clinical legal education in Ireland.
Larry Donnelly, Lecturer and Director of Clinical Legal Education in the School of Law, NUI Galway, was elected the first President of the Irish Clinical Legal Education Association (ICLEA). He wrote a piece for the Irish Times on 6 May on the conference.

Takeaway Pizza?
I am currently 18 weeks pregnant and am wondering if you can eat takeaway pizza from Pizza Hut or Eagle Boys or the like?
My concern is obviously the ham, pepperoni etc. However thought it might be okay if it was eaten "hot".

Hello Mummy142,
Congratulations on your pregnancy! All of the meats that are placed on pizzas are pre-cooked because they are only in the pizza oven for about 15-20 minutes.
For most women there is no problem at all with eating any pizza from a pizza establishment.

The sudden shuttering of Hesh's Bakery prompted an outpouring of reminiscences about the Northeast Philly institution that served loyal patrons for more than half a century.
The sudden shuttering of Hesh's kosher bakery in the Northeast over the weekend has prompted an outpouring of grief and reminiscences about the Castor Avenue institution that served loyal patrons for more than half a century.
Soon after a sign announc-ing the demise of the landmark bakery was posted in the store's windows on Jan. 11, and phone calls went unanswered, a Facebook group devoted to "Growing Up Jewish in Northeast Philly" saw an unusual surge of postings.
"Many people are unable to accept the fact of its closing," said Harris Bookfor, who founded the site. He cited the numerous postings as an online equivalent of a funeral, but with those grieving unwilling to stage a shiva just yet. Some postings, he said, expressed hope that the owners would reconsider; others that a new owner would re-open the shop.
The reason for the sudden closure is a mystery. Calls to the home of Bill and Sharon Krodthoff, who reportedly have owned the bakery for the past two decades, went unanswered.
Even Rabbi Dov Lerner, who has provided kosher supervision for the bakery for the past 12 years, said he was shocked by the suddenness of the closing.
But he attributed the reason to economics. "It was a financial loss. He just couldn't keep going anymore," Lerner, a Conservative rabbi, said of Bill Krodthoff. (The owners are not Jewish. The bakery was originally opened by the Braverman family in 1959.)
Lerner noted that the Jewish population of the Northeast has been decreasing for some time, which has meant a dwindling customer base for businesses like Hesh's. While there is still a vibrant Orthodox community and a number of shuls to serve it, there are very few non-Orthodox congregations left. He also said that Hesh's, like other small kosher establishments, has been hurt by the addition of kosher products to the ShopRite on Roosevelt Boulevard.
For years, Lerner had provided kosher supervision for the dairy bakery under the auspices of the Conservative movement's Rabbinical Assembly. When that group stopped providing kashrut services locally about two years ago, Lerner started his own company, Traditional Kosher Supervision, Inc.
He noted that, by and large, the Orthodox population in the Northeast didn't frequent Hesh's because it was under Conservative supervision. The shop was also open on Shabbat, which would turn off most Orthodox Jews.
But he stressed that the owners complied with all kosher regulations. "He went above and beyond in terms of letter and spirit. He wanted to make it work; it just didn't."
Rabbi Robyn Frisch, who serves as religious leader of Temple Menorah Keneseth Chai, said her Conservative synagogue in the Northeast sometimes would get Hesh's famous chocolate chip cake for its onegs. "I had dinner with friends last night," she said, "and we were all lamenting the closing."
They are not the only ones. Bookfor said that in the six years he has run the Northeast Philly Facebook page, he has never seen such a communal uproar. It shows, he said, the "close association between food and its role in the community life of the Northeast."
People are posting photos of their wedding cakes that they bought at Hesh's, added Bookfor, whose own wedding cake came from there. One saddened customer tried to put it in perspective, albeit tongue in cheek:
"I can no longer live in or support a country whose citizens do not support Hesh's Bakery," posted Jeff Albert. "My late father's nickname was Hesh, which adds even greater personal injury to my fragile psyche." He went on to suggest that he would fly to North Korea to join Dennis Rodman.
"I already have assurances from the government of Kim Jong Un that they will be opening a new and improved Hesh's Eclair Bakery in the capital city of Pyongang. All those who wish to join me please contact me through my new organization 'Ex Pats for Hesh's.' "

Blog Update: Tristan CowieMay 26, 2009
Tristan Cowie, May 26, Dahlonega, GA - Well, I'm back in the states. Finally.
It took over 14 hours of total flying time or something crazy like that. I had everything planed out. Sunday night I stayed up late so I could get some sleep on the plane. Except that it didn't really work out. So I think I got like 10 hours of sleep in the last two days or something.
Anyway, on the interesting stuff. Saturday was a mass start hill climb in a local town. We drove over there at around 12 and rode around checking out the course. It was an 11.5K climb mostly on gravel roads. We started downtown and the first 2K or so was super fast pavement. I got a good start and hit the first part of the climb sitting around 5th. I missed a turn during my pre-ride and figured that that turn just rerouted the course away from downtown onto some side streets. Wrong. We turned onto a tiny single lane road that kicked up at like 25% for half a mile. Then it flattened out for a bit before hitting the gravel and kicking up at around 14% for the rest of the race.
So yeah, I blew up a little at the start and fell back quite a bit. Probably one of the hardest races I've ever done in my life. I ended up somewhere outside the top 20. I think there was about 60 total. So not too bad.
Sunday was another small-ish race north of Frankfurt. They started the U23 and Pro class together but separated the classes for the awards. There were about 10 or 15 pros and 30 U23 riders. I got another good start and hit the single track around 5th again. On the first climb, Ethan Gilmore from the U23 National team caught me and we worked together to try and catch the leading U23 racer. For most of the race we were sitting around 4th and 5th out of the pros and U23s. What we didn't know was that the "leading" U23 was actually a Pro. So Ethan ended up winning the race and getting 4th overall and I slipped back and got 7th or 8th overall but 2nd in the U23s. It was sweet. I finally got to stand on a European podium. And win some sweet Euros.
It was a great way to end the camp. I learned so much in the three weeks I was there. I'd like to thank my parents, Coach Thad Walker, Wes Dickson and especially Brevard College for helping me enjoy this amazing opportunity. It was pretty sick to be able to post reports on the home page of the Athletic website. So thanks for reading.
Plans for the rest of the year? Well, still up in the air. I will probably do some more local races before heading to some National level races in New York and Vermont. And maybe a trip to Canada. That is if I can get settled in my job and everything. Then school starts again and I will be studying and racing the fall mountain bike season before traveling to California to defend my two national championships in October.
I'll see if I can find that picture of my podium shot and post it up here. I'm out so but keep reading because Marshal Hartley is going to pick up the reins and talk about his experiences in Spain. I'll be posting more races reports and pictures on my personal blog if you want to keep updated. Just Google my name and it's the second one down.
Once again, a big thanks to everybody who supported me over there and here. And another thanks to Brevard College for allowing me to share my life with you guys. Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed it.
Good night and good luck America.
Marshal Hartley, May 24, Bilbao, Spain - Today was my first race outside of the USA. It was a huge eye opener...
USA does many things better than Europe but bike racing is not one of them. We took one of the 6 team cars to the race. when we arrived I found that every other rider there was afilliated with a team verry simillar to mine; they all had several team cars, matching team bikes, sweat suits/podium clothes and custom water bottles specially made for each team. If you didnt know it was a U23 race you could have easily assumed it for a proffessional race.
I started the race with the goal of staying with the field. and I did for the first big loop. It included 5 two plus mile climbs immediatley followed by a decent. Then on the seccond lap four riders from the same team attacked and blew the field apart. I was somewhere in the middle of the placing when people in the group I was in started attacking. I didnt have anything else so me and some others waited to be caught by another group. We did and stayed with them for a while.
It started to rain. I have been cmplaining about my tires to my coach all week saying they are too slick. I realy did not want to race them but he said they will be fine. Today we were on a decent and I was taking a turn very easy, didnt hit the brakes and I still slid out because of the tires!! I was mad, to say the least!! But at least it is just road rash and nothing is broken. I am going to get back on verstiens first thing next week.
Next weekend I have a race sat and sun. They are both U20 races so I will try to do better there.
To be the man you got to beat the man!!
Tristan Cowie May 18, Kirtchzarten, Germany - Dirt. Dirt will make or break you. I did this interview one time and I told the lady about different types of dirt. I'm pretty sure she thought I was completely insane but whatever. The difference between road racing and mountain biking is the dirt. Road racing is primarily based on fitness and mountain biking is based on fitness too but with much more emphasis on skill. If you can know the types of dirt and what equipment to use, that's half the battle.
Why am I telling you this? Because I found the worst mud I have ever seen yesterday. And I made some good choices that helped me out with my racing.
Saturday we packed the van and sweet VW Golf. Totally Euro car. The Rothaus team met us at our house and we drove up together. It was about 3 hours to Heubach. The course was pretty sweet, literally downtown. But no pavement. The town backed up to a forest and the course took off up a gravel road to the top of a mountain with a huge antenna. Anyway, it had been raining in Heubach for the past two days and the course was a wreck. This mud packed onto tires and the bike and started to clog up the fork. A couple of sections were really soppy mud and it threatened to destroy brake pads and drive trains. Not cool. This mud was really pasty, hard to describe but the mud was probably a clay base which meant once it dried it would be like cement. Clay based mud probably packs up the worst too. However, this mud did not really mess with traction; usually mud will coat rocks and roots and turn them to ice. Heubach mud almost added traction because it was also a really gritty, rocky based soil too. If that makes any sense, I'm starting to believe that lady now.
So this race also had a downhill race. They ran the downhill race down the same decent as the cross country. This was not the best thing in the world for us. The big downhill bikes rip the track apart; braking bumps and ruts covering the trail. Our little XC bikes struggle on the bumps and deep ruts. A good tactic for avoiding the rough stuff is to cut across the trail between the ruts to get out of them, risky though because if you go too wide you might not make the next corner. Dilemma. Usually a combination of the two will get you down the hill in good shape.
Tires go hand in hand with the dirt. If it is hard, fast track you want a fast rolling tire. If the trails are super muddy you want a more aggressive (more tread, bigger tread) tire. The pre-ride I rode my normal dry tries since I didn't know what the course would be like. Didn't work out very well, too much mud started to pack up the dry tires. Saturday night, our awesome mechanic switched my tires to my "wet" tires. They hooked up on Sunday and probably helped me do so well.
So yeah, the race. Big race, there was supposed to be like a hundred starters but I think only about 80 actually showed up to race. Still huge. I got a pretty good call up, I think 4th or 5th row. I got a pretty bad start, but the plan was to take it easy for the first couple of laps while the rest of the guys went hard and blew up. Took my time and tried to stay safe on the decent and no flat or anything. I didn't really feel good and I didn't feel bad, just rode the same pace the entire day. About the 5th lap of 7, I caught Mitch who was sitting in 25th. We rode together for a bit before he slipped back on the climb. I tried to catch some more people but only succeed in bringing back two more. Since I was mostly alone on the decent I did some tricks for the cameras and had some fun. At the top of the climb there was like a little BBQ and 30 people were milling about and when I came through the announcer said my name and where I was from. The crowd started chanting: "USA, USA" and that was pretty cool. Even though they can't really pronounce the "U", it's more like an "ew".
So I came in at 23rd. Not bad, I don't think, I was kind of bummed that I there was a huge group of dudes less than two minutes ahead of me. If I was in that group then I probably would have made the top 20 if not top 15.
Wow, that was pretty long. I figured it would be cool to give you guys some more knowledge about what mountain biking is about since my stories about racing are kind of boring. They might not be, but they're pretty boring to write. One more week in Kirchzarten and then I fly back on Monday. We have a hill climb on Saturday and another cross country race on Sunday. I'm not really sure where the race is, but it's in the north again. Probably about 4 hours away and we are staying up there Sunday night and packing up that night and driving to the airport in the morning. Pretty packed weekend. I'll try to make up for it by just chilling for the entire week…haha. Nah, I'll be training and hopefully make that next group.
Hope you guys haven't done something weird like starting to drive on the other side of the road over there.
Tristan Cowie, May 15, Kirtchzarten, Germany - Today is a great day. Not really sure if it is yet but I'll find out. Today is Friday. It is also laundry day. I really, really need to do some.
Since the weather over here is still deciding whether it wants to rain or not, I'm still trying to decide whether I want to ride or not. We are passing the time by sharing music with one another. I have some pictures I could up load but it takes forever. I might start it now and hopefully when I come back from my ride they will be up. Perhaps.
Well, uh….what have I been doing? We rode to the top of some mountain the other day. About an hour or so climb and a 20ish minute decent. It was pretty cool at the top because we got back into the snow line. The decent was pretty fun, but it was really steep so you really had to stay on the ball and chill on the straight bits to make the hairpins.
I found out a little bit about the race on Sunday. It's in Northern Germany. You can get on the website:http://biketherock.de/e-home.htm. The English is terrific. At this race there is an actual class for the Under 23 riders. Pretty cool because we don't have to race the super, super world cup guys that would lap us. Come to think of it, the fastest U23s are probably just as fast as the Elites so I'm probably still going to get lapped. Hooray!
The kicker is that there are 104 U23 registered. One hundred four!!! That's freaking nuts! The biggest race I've done in the states had like 100 guys of all ages in there. This race has over a hundred in ONE class. Not cool guys. There are more Under 23 riders than in the elite (pro) class. Easy race? NOT!
It's hard to explain how hard these Euro races are. In the states, the courses are usually long (8-10miles per-lap) and hard. In Europe the courses are short and relatively easy (1-3miles per-lap). Although the total distance is about the same (it depends on terrain but it will be around a 2 hour race) the Euro races have twice as many laps. You'd think that the "easier" courses would be "easier" but that's usually not the case since you can go so much faster and carry more speed.
Anyway, we're meeting a German team at 9 tomorrow and driving three hours up to the race and going for pre-rides and chilling at the hotel tomorrow. I think we race at like 9 something tomorrow which is like 3 in American time. I don't think I'm going to bring my computer so I'll write a report on Monday when we get back. I'm hoping to have a good race since Saturday is the good old birthday. Whatever happens, I'm going to have fun because this whole experience is amazing.
Don't float away America, someday I'm coming back.
Tristan Cowie May 14, Kirtchzarten, Germany- So, I'm back. I was able to get connected to the internet last night but didn't really have time to do much as it was pretty late and I had been up for like...uh...several hours. I did post the blogs about my exciting time in the airport. It was awesome. And some pictures, the pics took way longer than normal to post so I might not be able to do a bunch. We'll see.
I tried to sleep a bit on the plane, it was really nice that I didn't have anyone sitting next to me but I was planning on staying up as late as I could and then sleeping and waking up on the "German" time. It kind of worked out. I woke up this morning at 5 but that might have been because of the thunderstorm we had last night.
Anyway, Saturday was the first race. I got 35th out of 75 or so starters. I was the 4th American and 11th U23 rider. Not bad for the first race. Of course Nino Schurter and Florian Vogel beat me by 20 minutes. But Nino got third at the Olympics last year.
I spent most of the race stuck in a big group of like 10 guys with Tad Elliot, Rob Squire, and Mitch Hoke. All the Euros wanted us to work to try and catch the leaders since we had 4 guys (Americans) but Tad and Rob kept trying to break it up. Eventually they did and gapped me and Mitch. We rode 8 of 9 laps after the leaders lapped us about half way around our last one.
Tad was the only one from the US that didn't get lapped, he got like 27th or something so big props to him.
The course was about 60% or 70% pavement with a short but really rooty and slick as hot butter climb. The decent was pretty fun, some cool places where you could make up so time and my big o'27 inch bars were doing the work for me.
The climb was pretty steep with some snot covered roots, I didn't get any pictures but I'm hoping to go out and get some at the next race. The race itself was pretty cool, there was a huge expo with tons of companies and bike and free stuff. It was like twice the size of a US race. Kevin put the race into a good perspective. In terms of prestige in winning the race and the size of fields it's like a Mountain States Cup (Mid-west race series-small fields, small purse, but bigger than your average "local" race). But in regards to who shows up to these "small" races it's more like a ProXTC race in the states (a national level race).
Pretty funny too, near the end of the race some Swiss chick was cheering me on and I'm certain that she was saying: "Time for a change, time for a change."
Sunday's race. It was really, really short. Under 10min laps. It went straight up this super steep climb and a gradual downhill before climbing again and a really fast loose downhill to some grass back to the start. It was really short, did I say that before?
Anyway, we had to do 10 laps for about 20K total. It was a much smaller field than the Swiss race but still there were 30 guys in our race. About as big as my biggest regional race in the states. We rode from our hostel to the race and then back home after it was over. It took about an hour of easy spinning to get down there. So we raced 2 hours on Saturday, rode Sunday morning for half an hour to spin out the legs, rode down to the race, raced for an hour, and rode back. Pretty long week end. I'm a little tired of riding my bike.
The race went good, I figured most of the guys would be gassed by the super steep climb so I sat back and chilled until the top where it flattened out. Didn't really work because the Euros were thinking the same thing. Anyway, Tad drove the front for a few laps and it got whittled down pretty quick, I rode in 3rd for most of the race before blowing big time on the last couple of laps. Rob passed me and caught 2nd and I ended up sprinting a dude for 5th. Pretty sick, I didn't get on the podium but I still got paid some Euros. Sickness!
Monday we rode with Rob on this super long ride where we climbed for at least an hour. It was pretty cool but probably not the best thing for after a race. I took some pictures at the top when we hit the snow line.
Tuesday, we rode some more trails and rode up to these three wind turbines and hiked up to the top of a tower and then rode some pretty sweet, steep trails down. I took some pictures at the top. After we were done riding I walked around town and took some more pictures of Kirchzarten.
Tuesday night, Mark Gullickson (the camp director) and his wife, who are staying outside Kirchzarten are going to cook us dinner. We are going to go up there and hang out for a bit and probably play some soccer with his kids. Sounds like some good times.
Later America, I'll be back soon.

Thanks, Brad. Hope you and the family are doing well.
Awesome. You got her through that other deal OK?
Beautiful ,as always.
Thanks, Dan. That barn struck me the first day we arrived here and I've admired it ever since.
Any bells in that poop?
Find out at www.twowheelsthreeamericas.com
And I bet it smelled like pepper spray ..
Was at the doc yesterday, Shes still not completely clear but shes off the meds. She did get clearance to do the PT on her shoulder that should have been started many weeks ago.
We're banging away at it.
I need a ride...
Is there any good riding around Spartanburg/Greenville? About half way for both of us...
Let's go hog wild and drink a beer on the coast...
My next 4-day is 18-21 Jan.
Best bet is to meet somewhere on Route 11, it leaves I85 near Gaffney, runs along the northern border of SC, then runs back down toward 85 somewhere near clemson. Very civilized. There some decent little food stops along there, and several really good roads up into NC/TN. I think it runs right near Table Rock IIRC, it's been a while...
Route along Rt 11
From Clemson, SC to Honea Path, SC
36 miles.
Stop at the Fire station in Honea Path and ask where the accident
that ended Rick Kiehna's life took place.
First responders came from Honea Path.
let's do it! You name the place and boonie can find us.
So, a cozy little B&B?
You 2 get a room!
Never mind. It sounds like that is exactly what you are doing. :eek1
...not that there is anything wrong with that.
Anyone familiar with Pickens, SC?
Close to 11 like George and Boonie said, close to the Jocassee area and Table Rock, down out of the hills so the mornings would be tolerable warm, maybe...
That looks nice, I take it that I need to invite Janet on this outing.

British and French forces on the Amiens Front behind Villers-Bretonneux, Western Front, probably 1-3 April 1918. Filmed on 3 April, the remaining evidence of the famous charge of Lord Strathcona's Horse of the Canadian Cavalry Brigade, 3rd Cavalry Division, at Moreuil Ridge on 30 March. The dismounted survivors of the regiment (?) come out of line in marching column, wearing greatcoats, caps and helmets (one wears a balmoral). Their horses are led to safety by the 'number 3s of each group. The dead horses left behind in the charge are still in position. A mixed battalion, possibly pioneers, a day or so earlier, gets up from resting by a tree line and walks uphill into a leafless wood. A few soldiers dig a trench-line in open country. The pioneers emerge from the trees into open country again (possibly near Corbie). Staged meeting between French, probably 29th Division, and British, probably l8th Division, beside their gun limbers. A street damaged by shell fire, with a dead horse and wrecked cart in it and a British cyclist moving past, possibly Villers-Bretonneux.
Pieces of History
Canada's Mounted Troops
Major Michael R. McNorgan
Instructor, Royal Military College, Kingston
At the beginning of the First World War, horsed cavalry was still an army's principal mobile arm. However, after the onset of static trench warfare on the Western Front in late 1914 – with thick barbed wire barriers and large numbers of machine guns protecting defensive works – the battlefield utility of cavalry was greatly diminished. Cavalry was nonetheless retained in large numbers because of the perennial hope of breaking through the enemy's line and rolling up his defences from the rear. Thus, for virtually every major offensive operation during the war, cavalry divisions were kept in reserve.
Canada contributed two distinct groups of cavalry during the War – the Canadian Cavalry Brigade and an independent cavalry regiment known as the Canadian Light Horse.
Canadian Cavalry Brigade
This Canadian Cavalry Brigade was formed in England in the autumn of 1915, consisting of permanent force units, the Royal Canadian Dragoons and Lord Strathcona's Horse, along with the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery. In early 1916, The Fort Garry Horse, a militia regiment from Winnipeg, was added, along with a Cavalry Brigade Machine Gun Squadron equipped with Vickers machine guns. The Canadian Cavalry Brigade served as part of a British cavalry division for the remainder of the war. Its first mounted action was at the Somme in the summer of 1916. When cavalry units were not needed as reserves for an offensive operation, they were often employed dismounted to occupy quiet sectors of the front.
The Brigade again saw mounted action in March 1917 when tasked to pursue an unexpected German withdrawal to a new defensive position called the Hindenburg Line. During this pursuit, Lieutenant Harvey of Lord Strathcona's Horse earned the brigade's first Victoria Cross for valour during the liberation of a French village. By the time of the Battle of Cambrai in November 1917 – best known as the first major tank offensive of the war – the Canadian cavalry was judged to be among the best brigades in the British Cavalry Corps, and it was tasked to serve in the lead of a large cavalry exploitation force. During this operation, a single Canadian squadron was the only cavalry to penetrate German lines, and Lieutenant Strachan of The Fort Garry Horse was awarded the Victoria Cross for gallantry.
The Brigade served with great distinction during the German's March 1918 offensive toward Amiens, riding from place to place assisting in slowing the relentless enemy advance. Its final action in this operation took place at Moreuil Wood, where Lieutenant Flowerdew of Lord Strathcona's Horse won a posthumous Victoria Cross for leading a gallant cavalry charge against German machine guns. After the war, Marshal Foch, the Allied supreme commander, credited the Canadians with halting the German offensive at Moreuil and preventing the separation of the French and British armies. Later in that final year of the war, the Canadian Cavalry Brigade was in action during the great Canadian Corps victory over the Germans at Amiens in August, and it played an important part in following up the German retreat in the last two months of the war.
Canadian Light Horse
Until May 1916, three of the four infantry divisions of the Canadian Corps maintained their own independent cavalry squadron of some 150 all ranks . These squadrons – from the 19th Alberta Dragoons, the 1st Hussars and the 16th Light Horse – were then amalgamated into an ad hoc regiment that reported directly to Canadian Corps Headquarters. In early 1917, this unit was named the Canadian Light Horse.
The Canadian Light Horse first saw action as a mounted unit in the consolidation of the ground captured in the attack on Vimy Ridge in April 1917. The CLH played a major role in the fighting at Iwuy on October 10, 1918, where the last ever swords-drawn charge by Canadian cavalry took place. During the pursuit of the Germans in the final month of the war, CLH squadrons were always well out in front as a scouting force, ensuring that the Canadian divisions would not be surprised by German lay-back patrols. When the war ended for the Canadians in Mons Belgium on November 11, 1918, the Canadian Light Horse was already well beyond the city.
Modern armoured fighting vehicles – tanks and armoured cars – owe their development in part to the stalemate created on the Western Front by the deadly combination of machine guns and thick belts of barbed wire protecting trench lines, along with massive artillery bombardments that could be brought down with great accuracy on an attacking force. The problem of how an attacking force could be strengthened to overcome well-defended trenches had been studied by British scientists since late 1914. They came up with the idea of a 'land ship' – a tracked vehicle protected by armour plate, large enough that it could carry guns or machine guns, drive over belts of barbed wire, and crossover trenches. This highly secret vehicle was given the code name 'tank'.
Tanks were first introduced in limited numbers during the battle of the Somme in mid-September 1916, and the Canadian Corps was given seven (these models were called the Mark I) for its attack on the village of Courcellette. But these early versions were mechanical nightmares; almost all broke down before they got anywhere close to the German lines. Still, scientists kept improving their tank designs. Finally, in November 1917, tanks were used in large numbers in a successful offensive at Cambrai: the era of mechanized warfare had been born. Tanks then played major roles in the Battle of Amiens in August 1918, in the breaking of the Hindenburg Line in September, and in the pursuit of the retreating Germans in October and November 1918.
Early in 1918 many thought the war might well last into 1919, and the Canadian Army agreed to raise tank units. The 1st Canadian Tank Battalion was recruited from university students, and in June 1918 it was sent to England to begin training at the British Tank School. Despite the general aversion to volunteering at this stage in the war, a 2nd Battalion was also quickly raised. The 1st Tank Battalion had just completed its training and was preparing to leave for the front when the Armistice was declared on November 11, 1918. Thus, while no Canadian tank unit saw action in the war, many Canadians did serve in British tank battalions, and in a number of instances displayed their nationalism by painting maple leafs prominently on their vehicles.
In 1914, Canada created the world's first armoured unit. The driving force behind this achievement was Raymond Brutinel, a wealthy engineer originally from France, who had the idea that lightly armoured vehicles designed to carry machine guns would be especially useful. He offered to raise the funds for the vehicles, a suggestion which was readily accepted by the government. Brutinel designed the vehicles, had them built, purchased the machine guns, and recruited the soldiers, all within two months. His new unit was given the name 'Automobile Machine Gun Brigade No. 1'. In the next few months three other mobile machine gun units were raised, all paid for by private subscription – the Eaton Battery, the Borden Battery and the Yukon Battery. All four units found their way to France where, in 1915, they were amalgamated under Brutinel's command as the Canadian Motor Machine Gun Brigade.
Brutinel's Motors came into their own in the last year of the war, when the stalemate of trench warfare had been broken. This highly mobile force played an especially important role in stemming the onslaught of the Germans' March 1918 offensive, and a second similar brigade was formed. The Motors were a valuable part of a composite formation of cavalry, armoured cars and cyclists, termed 'The Independent Force', during the Battle of Amiens in August 1918. Between September and November this force led the Canadian Corps from one victory to another during the pursuit to Valenciennes and finally to Mons on November 11, when the war ended.
At the beginning of the war, each Canadian division had its own company of cyclists – troops equipped with sturdy bicycles whose tasks included field security and aspects of military intelligence. In the static conditions on the Western Front, they were not very useful, so they tended to be used as guards or labourers. In May 1916 the four companies were amalgamated as The Canadian Corps Cyclist Battalion. In 1918, the battalion was included in Brigadier-General Brutinel's 'Independent Force', and there they served valiantly at Amiens and in the Pursuit to Mons as a form of mounted infantry – riding to the scene of action, dismounting and then fighting as infantry.

German Prisoners of War
Jonathan F. Vance
Professor and Canada Research Chair in Conflict and Culture, Department of History, University of Western Ontario
The emotion of fear probably came first since the moment of capture was the most dangerous time for a prisoner. It was a reality of the First World War that the protection given to prisoners under the 1907 Hague Convention was not always observed in the front lines. Throwing aside one's rifle and yelling "Kamarad" was no guarantee that the plea for mercy would be heeded, particularly if the approaching soldier had seen his unit decimated by enemy fire. By the same token, a platoon that was weakened by casualties and struggling to hold a hard-won position sometimes could not spare a couple of infantrymen to escort prisoners to the rear areas. In such cases, soldiers implicitly understood that the safest option for their unit was to shoot the prisoners and keep it to themselves.
And then there were the rumours that circulated through both sides of no man's land about a particular battalion that never took prisoners, or about captives who were killed rather than being sent to the safety of a prison camp. A soldier who had been fired up by such stories might well wave aside his enemy's pleas and pull the trigger instead. The faces you see in these films, then, represent the lucky ones, the soldiers who actually survived to become prisoners.
We should also be aware that there did exist a degree of sympathy between soldiers. Atrocities were committed on both sides, but often the sight of a cowering enemy soldier elicited a feeling of pity in the attacking soldier. This is not the demonic Hun depicted by the propagandists, he might think; this is a man like me, with a family, perhaps a wife and children. We are both caught in a war that is not our doing; I will treat him as I hope he would treat me, with kindness and consideration.
The exhausted Canadian sharing coffee and hardtack with a captured German became a stock propaganda image, as a way to demonstrate the kindness of our Canadian boys overseas. But just because they were propagandized does not mean such situations did not take place. On the contrary, many a soldier would share with his prisoner a water bottle, a packet of rations or a cigarette, because the fact that he was a fellow soldier was now more important than the fact that he was an enemy. There is genuine good humour in the image of the captor clowning with the captive by putting on his cap and pulling a face.
Once the new prisoner made it through the moment of capture and reached relative safety, his experiences in captivity became more typical. The First World War was a very labour-intensive conflict. It was the first truly mechanized war, but much of the heavy work was still done the old-fashioned way – by tens of thousands of men digging, carrying, lifting and moving. Neither side had any scruples about using prisoners as forced labour in or directly behind the front lines. We know that German units used their POWs to dig trenches, move ammunition and carry supplies – all tasks forbidden under international law – and Canadians may well have done the same. But such scenes would never have made it onto film. Instead, a much more common image is of German soldiers acting as stretcher bearers, bringing the wounded, Canadian and German alike, to safety. For the captors, this had the advantage of freeing up infantrymen who had been temporarily co-opted as stretcher bearers – every German prisoner who could carry a stretcher meant that one Canadian could go back to the firing line. But it also had value for the prisoners themselves. Many contemporary accounts tell of new prisoners who were almost pathetically keen to prove themselves useful by helping with the wounded. Carrying a stretcher, after all, was much better than being shot.
Prisoners were also a valuable source of information. They were searched for maps, papers or anything else that could have intelligence value (or even monetary value – Canadian soldiers were known as tireless souvenir hunters, and quickly stripped any item that could be sold to non-combatant troops in the rear areas. Rifles, canteens and other military equipment were confiscated and sent to salvage dumps. Then, German-speaking officers questioned the men about their unit and the defences on their side of the line. Probably, few POWs were as helpful as some of those who were filmed (including the one who is evidently hard of hearing, likely from artillery bombardment), but the evidence suggests that prisoners were actually forthcoming with information about what was going on in their own trenches.
Finally, the symbolic significance of prisoners should not be underestimated. It was important to depict German prisoners on film because they were very visible signs of success on the battlefield. In the bloodbaths of 1916 and 1917, when success was measured in yards of pulverized earth, scenes of a few bedraggled German soldiers proved that something concrete had been achieved. The Battle of the Somme, for example, was a notorious example of horrific casualties sustained for very little territorial gain, but footage of prisoners being marched away from the battlefield in this clip at least proved that there were a few enemy infantrymen who would never again fire on Canadian soldiers.
In the open campaigns that began in the summer of 1918, prisoners became even more dramatic evidence of success. Now, it was possible to show to Canadians images of long lines of Germans soldiers captured in battle as the Canadian Expeditionary Force swept across northern France. Scenes of POWs being marched away from the battle for Bourlon Wood in 1918, often combined with pictures of rows of captured artillery pieces, confirmed to people at home that the tide had finally turned. The Allies had the Germans on the run, and such images seemed to prove that they were just as happy to surrender as fight.
Statistics on German POWs captured by Canadian troops are far from complete. We know that over 4000 were captured at Vimy Ridge in April 1917; over 5000 on August 8, 1918, the first day of the Battle of Amiens; and roughly 6000 in the three-day battle for the Drocourt-Quéant line in September 1918. But these are only three of dozens of engagements fought by the Canadian divisions, and the total number of prisoners taken may never be known. In any case, the cold statistics tell us less about the experience of captivity than these moving images. The men we see remain nameless, but their faces speak volumes about the impact of war on the individual.

Unending Seige : Amiens
The scene was now set for toppling the German militarism that in various forms had kept Europe trembling for more than 50 years. Over the long, painful weeks the Allies lived through in the spring of 1918, the Canadians had learned much. They had also had time to rebuild their strength after the successful but costly attacks of 1917.
The sector now reserved for them was that around Amiens. To give the Canadians the advantage of surprise, they were taken 60 kilometres north of the city. Accustomed to having the Australians opposite Amiens, the Germans also knew the Canadians, whom they had seen spearheading British assaults. Two battalions and two first-aid stations were set up in front of Kemmel, where constant traffic of assorted messages was set in motion and picked up by the Germans. Between 30 July and 4 August, in deepest secrecy, the rest of the Canadian Corps descended to the south. Their discretion was facilitated by the gloomy weather, which reduced German air sorties, and the fact that only the division commanders knew the assault target. This secrecy caused numerous logistical problems - for example, the artillery would have almost no time to prepare. Opposite Amiens, the Canadian officers studying the terrain fooled the Germans by wearing the trademark soft hat of the Australian soldiery.
The noise of preparations for the largest mechanized battle ever seen up to that time revealed nothing to the enemy. In spite of all the precautions, however, some German units were wondering about the movements they had detected. Some 604 tanks of all kinds and thousands of horses would give the battle an aspect that was both ancient and modern.
The Black Day of the German Army
Just before dawn on 8 August the attack opened with the firing of 2,000 guns. In addition to the tanks, the soldiers could rely on two motorized machine-gun brigades, a battalion of cyclists to serve the Corps and a section of heavy mortars mounted on trucks. A thousand French and 800 British planes took to the air. During this brilliant assault, which would seriously undermine the morale of the German troops, the Canadians advanced 13 kilometres at the head of an immense front more than 30 kilometres wide. Australians, British and French were also in the attack, their role being to keep clear of the advance of the Canadians, who had more ground to cover to reach their objectives. The Canadians lost 1,036 men killed, 2,803 injured and 29 taken prisoner, losses that were largely offset by their remarkable advance, the most impressive on the western front since 1914. The Germans had to accept 27,000 casualties, including 16,000 taken prisoner - 5,033 of them taken by the Canadians, who also seized 161 artillery pieces and a large number of machine guns and anti-tank guns. Though the Allies were left with only 132 tanks to start with the next day, the Germans had lost seven divisions. The confidence of their High Command was shaken by the realization that its war machine was no longer effective.
An interesting experiment that day involved the use of 30 Mark V tanks to transport the troops of the 4th Division to the opposing trenches. However, many men were bothered by the heat and by the exhaust fumes that entered the passenger compartment. A few fainted; others got out and walked. The drawbacks associated with the Mark Vs could not be rectified and these tanks were not used again during that war.
Canadian Corps Advances
During the night of 8/9 August, the British High Command decided to lend its 32nd Division to the Canadians, who wanted to withdraw their 3rd Division from the front. The Canadians of the 3rd Division had already marched about 10 kilometres to the rear when they were recalled, as the British had changed their minds. The men were exhausted on their return. It was therefore decided to use only one of their brigades at the front, which required the 1st and 2nd divisions to expand the sectors they were covering. Under these conditions the attack of 9 August could not get under way until around 11 am, without the element of surprise of the day before. At a cost of 2,574 casualties, the Canadians took 6.5 kilometres of ground.
The pressure continued to mount for several days, but the momentum of 8 and 9 August was indeed lost. The number of available tanks fell to the point where, on the 12th, there were only six left. Despite their 11,725 casualties from 8 to 20 August, the Canadians had sounded the beginning of the end of the German army by advancing nearly 30 kilometres and securing the ground thus taken. In the whole operation, the Germans recorded 75,000 casualties.
A month earlier the French had seized the initiative from the Germans. In this context, the battle of Amiens would have a decisive impact. It shattered the last hopes of the German High Command, along with any confidence they might have had that their troops still wanted to fight. The success of the Canadian troops was based partly on surprise, the concentration of their strength and co-ordination among the various arms (planes, tanks, guns, machine guns).

After Amiens
In the meantime Allied plans on the Western Front were undergoing revision. As early as the evening of August 11, as German resistance stiffened, Marshal Foch had shown himself willing to modify objectives and consider alternatives to further offensive operations on the Amiens front. At that time large-scale operations were due to be resumed on the 15th. But on the 13th General Debeney asked for and received a day's postponement of the assault by his army; and next morning General Rawlinson was given the same extra time in which to complete his preparations. Sir Douglas Haig has revealed in his diary that he shared Rawlinson's misgivings about attacking the well-prepared Roye-Chaulnes defences and that he was resolved that the French First and British Fourth Armies should merely "keep up pressure on that front" in order to hold the enemy's attention, while he prepared to strike elsewhere with the British First and Third
There is no doubt that Rawlinson was considerably influenced by representations made to him by General Currie, upon whose forces the burden of a major share of a renewed offensive must fall. At a meeting on the morning of August 14 the Army Commander showed Haig a letter (accompanied by air photographs taken the previous day of the German positions) in which Currie set forth the arguments against renewing an operation which would "cost a great many casualties" without obtaining adequate results. He suggested that if the attack were found to be absolutely necessary it should be postponed in order to allow time to "recover the element of surprise." He recommended that an alternative, and better, course would be to withdraw the Canadian Corps from the line, and after resting it for a few days employ it on the Arras front in a surprise attack in the direction of Bapaume. An advance in this sector coupled with an attack by the French from their present line, might well force the enemy to abandon his positions west of the Somme without the necessity of a frontal assault.
This last suggestion was in keeping with Haig's own ideas. An exchange of letters with Foch on the 14th brought no agreement about postponing operations at the Somme, and that evening a telegram from the Generalissimo asked Haig "once more to maintain the date already set." The Field Marshal, however, had made up his mind to limit the Somme attack to a series of set stages, and on the afternoon of the 15th he pressed his arguments at Foch's advanced headquarters at Sarcus (twenty miles south-west of Amiens). "I spoke to Foch quite straightly", his diary records, "and let him know that I was responsible to my Government and fellow citizens for the handling of the British forces." Foch's resistance had already been weakened when he learned from General Debeney that morning that the projected attack on Roye "would certainly be difficult", and even if mounted would leave the French forces too weak to maintain it. "I definitely came around to the opinion of Field-Marshal Sir Douglas Haig", he wrote in his Memoirs, and he agreed that the Amiens offensive should not be pressed.
A new operation order issued by British G.H.Q. directed the Third Army, which was holding a nineteen-mile front north of Albert, without delay to "press the enemy back energetically in the direction of Bapaume"; the Fourth Army while continuing its preparations for an attack would be prepared to follow up any German withdrawal towards the Somme. Farther north the First Army would take advantage of any German retirement to exert pressure south-eastward from the Arras sector; under favourable conditions, it would attack Monchy-le-Preux and Orange Hill.
In a letter confirming his acceptance of Haig's proposals Marshal Foch made it clear that he was depending on the British operations to be developed with sufficient impetus to ensure a resumption of the thrust south of the Somme. He went on to thank Sir Douglas for his cooperation, which had completely freed the Amiens area and the Paris-Amiens railway. For an offensive north of the Aisne he was now going to transfer the French First Army from Haig's command back to Pétain's group of armies. Accordingly the Franco-British boundary was shifted northward to the Amiens-Chaulnes railway, and the relief of the Canadian Corps by French troops began on 19 August.
On the night of August 19-20 the 2nd Canadian Division began moving northward by bus and train to rejoin the First Army in the Arras sector, followed the next night by the 3rd Division. A number of days were to elapse before the 1st and 4th Divisions made the move. General Currie closed his Headquarters at Dury on the 22nd. During the day he called on a number of senior commanders and had the satisfaction of being told by General Byng that the Canadian performance at Amiens was "the finest operation of the war".

The Expanding Allied Offensive
The first move in the Allied scheme to extend the stalled Amiens offensive on both wings was made on the southern flank on August 20 1918, when the French Tenth Army of General Mangin struck northward from the Aisne between Compičgne and Soissons with twelve divisions. An advance of nearly five miles in two days carried the assault to the river Oise between Noyon and Chauny. On the 21st the French Third Army (General Humbert) on Mangin's left resumed operations with some success, while on the same day north of Albert the British Third Army initiated Sir Douglas Haig's share in the renewed offensive. General Byng's forces struck a telling blow on the 23rd, when a two-mile advance towards Bapaume netted 5000 prisoners from General Otto von Below's badly shaken Seventeenth Army. This achievement was matched on Haig's right flank, where the Fourth Army had taken up the battle astride the Somme and the 1st Australian Division had shattered two German divisions on the southern bank. The next two days saw some slight progress on both the Third and Fourth Armies' fronts, and on August 26 an expansion of the battle into the First Army's sector brought the Canadian Corps once more into action.
The period of rest and refitting that would normally follow participation in such extensive operations as the Amiens battle was denied the Canadians; for in these last hundred days of the war each major offensive so rapidly succeeded its predecessor that unprecedented demands had to be made on the stamina of the forces employed. Back under General Horne's command in its former position east of Arras, the Canadian Corps was confronted by a series of formidable defence positions which the enemy was holding in strength. Immediately in front of the Canadians, about Monchy-le-Preux, were the old British trenches lost in the German offensive of March 1918, and to the east of these lay the enemy's former front line. This was backed up, two miles east of Monchy, by the so-called Fresnes-Rouvroy line, which was actually an extension south of the Scarpe of the original line joining Rouvroy (south-east of Lens) to Fresnes (north-east of Arras). Another mile to the east the approaches to Cambrai were blocked by the strongest position of all-the Drocourt-Quéant line (the southernmost portion of the Wotan I-Stellung), which, extending northward from the Hindenburg Line (Siegfried-Stellung) at Quéant, had been constructed by the Germans to contain any Allied advance into the Douai plain. Still farther east, crossed by the main road at Marquion, was the unfinished Canal du Nord, connecting the Somme Canal with the Sensée Canal. Though not yet extensively fortified it formed in conjunction with the Sensée marshes a major obstacle.
On August 22 General Currie outlined to his divisional commanders his plans for an attack eastward astride the Arras-Cambrai road. The Canadian Corps had been given the task of forcing the Drocourt-Quéant line south of the Scarpe and advancing to the line of the Canal du Nord. Having thus broken the hinge of the Hindenburg system the Corps was to swing southward and sweep down behind that formidable position in order to deny the Germans opposing the Third Army a rallying ground. On Currie's right the 17th Corps, operating on the Third Army's northern flank, was under orders to cooperate with the Canadian Corps, attacking south-eastward along both sides of the Hindenburg position.
General Currie's was an important and a difficult assignment. The enemy's main defence positions, supplemented by various subsidiary switches and strong points, were among the strongest on the Western Front. The ground was pocked with the scars of 1917 and early 1918, and in the litter of old trenches and fortifications German engineers had found ready-made positions which they had considerably strengthened. Furthermore, topography was on the side of the Germans. The battle area spread over the north-eastern slopes of the Artois Hills, whose summits about Monchy were over three hundred feet above the valley-bottoms of the Scarpe and the Sensée. The latter river, flowing generally eastward, together with its tributaries had dissected the hills into numerous deep valleys. The intervening ridges and high points, often mutually supporting, the enemy had fortified with a skill that demonstrated his mastery in military engineering.
The Germans' general defensive plan at this time was to give up ground in the region of the Lys and Ypres salients and to fight a determined rearguard action in the Somme area. Ludendorff overruled the views of those staffs (in particular Crown Prince Wilhelm's) that favoured a major voluntary retirement into the Hindenburg and adjoining defence systems. His purpose was by means of a gradual fighting withdrawal to wear out the Allied forces before they reached the Hindenburg position, thus gaining time to reorganize behind that formidable defence line. The defences about the Arras-Cambrai road in the Monchy area would form the pivot of any German retirement south of the Scarpe, while the security of Prince Rupprecht's northern armies also depended on retaining them.
These positions became the initial Canadian objective. With the enemy expecting attack, except for the actual hour of assault, surprise was clearly impossible. It would be a case of launching successive frontal, grinding assaults against well-established lines manned by tenacious, alert troops.

'The game turned at 8:41 of the second period, when Sabres defenseman James Patrick went to the box for hooking Ian Moran. That gave the Penguins a two-man advantage for 17 seconds. Jan Hrdina won a faceoff in the Sabres' zone, directing the puck to Dick Tarnstrom at the left point. Tarnstrom whipped a pass across to Kovalev, who blasted a slap shot past Biron for his team-leading 14th goal.'

haha yeah I need work on my A alot
im tired of people saying my jk throws look exactly like jaone. so what should i do to change it?
JAONE had a really basic style of letters, That being said your style is very simple and looks very close to his, and since the letters almost look identical it looks almost the same bomb. Graff is all about you and what you think looks good. If you really like the way it looks then keep on doing it for yourself but in the long run I'd listen to the people on here and progress your style.
Why not just do JE?
or JN
well practice e's dont just not do them cause you cant. thts why u practice. and yea ja is a simple style of letters but they r similar.

Ervin László (born 1932 in Budapest, Hungary) is a Hungarian philosopher of science, systems theorist, integral theorist, and classical pianist. He has published about 75 books and over 400 papers, and is editor of World Futures: The Journal of General Evolution.[1]. Moreover, he has recorded several piano concertos.
In 1993, in response to his experience with the Club of Rome, he founded the Club of Budapest to, in his words, "center attention on the evolution of human values and consciousness as the crucial factors in changing course—from a race toward degradation, polarization, and disaster to a rethinking of values and priorities so as to navigate today's transformation in the direction of humanism, ethics, and global sustainability".[1]
His 2004 book, Science and the Akashic Field: An Integral Theory of Everything posits a field of information as the substance of the cosmos. Using the Sanskrit and Vedic term for "space", Akasha, he calls this information field the "Akashic field" or "A-field". He posits that the "quantum vacuum" (see Vacuum state) is the fundamental energy and information-carrying field that informs not just the current universe, but all universes past and present (collectively, the "Metaverse"). László describes how such an informational field can explain why our universe is so improbably fine-tuned as to form galaxies and conscious lifeforms; and why evolution is an informed, not random, process. He believes that the hypothesis solves several problems that emerge from quantum physics, especially nonlocality and quantum entanglement. He also sees his hypothesis as solving the perennial disputes between science and religion.
Ervin László was married to Carita Jägerhorn af Spurila 16 November 1956. They have two sons.

The guitarist was the great Michael 'Kidd Funkadelic' Hampton.
As a teen, FDR once sailed with a prep school friend to an island where they believed Captain Kidd had buried a chest.
Mr. Kidd leaned up against the wall for support; Mr. Brown stood open-mouthed and voiceless.
One would think you were little less than a female Captain Kidd.
No, mine friend, I knows nothin' apout dis Mr. Kidd, nor his money.
He looked like Captain Kidd, armed up to the teeth, and I told him so.
Behind this "sea-wall," many yards in extent, were the excavations made by the treasure hunters after Captain Kidd's hidden money.
I've no notion of trying to be a twentieth century Captain Kidd.
Kidd found the ranchero standing in his doorway, with straddled legs, attentively surveying the approaches to his house.
Wal, boys, that 'are history o' Kidd's is a warnin' to fellers.

Navy document plans future of carrier air wings By D. Majumdar Jan 18, 2012
"The Navy's carrier air wings of tomorrow will look very different from to-day's, according to a new document produced by the sea services. By 2032, the Navy's fleet of F/A-18E/F Super Hornets fighters and new EA-18G Growler electronic attack jets will have begun to be replaced by new types, a new document called Naval Aviation Vision 2012 reads.
The Navy will consider manned, unmanned & optionally manned aircraft to replace the long serving Rhino, as the F/A-18E/F is known to carrier deck crews. The Super Hornet will begin to reach the end of its service life around 2025 & must be replaced. The document says a competitive fly-off will be held at some point in the future. The Super Hornet-derived EA-18G will also start being replaced by a new aircraft, but the document offers no further details.
Additionally, a new Unmanned Carrier Launched Surveillance & Strike (UCLASS) is to be integrated onto the carrier deck around 2018 — possibly with four to six planes embarked. The aircraft could make use of technologies developed by the X-47B program. The Navy document calls for "balanced survivability" so that the unmanned strike plane will be effective in "specified tactical situations."
The F-35C will serve alongside these prospective aircraft...."

Inspirational Views: Davannayoga® has two yoga spaces. The main studio space has a view to the ocean from most mats and high ceilings with natural floors. The roof-top space (open Oct.-May) has a 360º view from ocean to mountain tops and the beautiful Mexican tiled roofs in between. Great for seasonal sunset yoga classes! We are only a few short blocks from the beach.
Amenities: At davannayoga® filtered water, clean mats and towel use are always available for FREE. We offer a comfortable and modern bathroom and shower as well. In our store, we have yoga accessories, yoga mats, yoga clothing and gifts.
You can rent davannayoga® spaces for your workshop or yoga retreat! The rooftop space (with access to pool and resting area) as well as the downstairs traditional style studio are for rent. We can also create vegetarian or vegan meals and snacks for your events direct from our gourmet kitchen using local, wholesome ingredients. Contact us for more information.
