Giants 35
Patriots 32
You heard it on Swellinfo.
"Played terribly"??? Not exactly. This must be coming from a Giant hater.
Eli had a great game..so did receivers.
Defense; aside from 2 big plays to Vernon Davis (the 2nd being blown coverage) they were awesome. Alex Smith looked like the old alex smith...their biggest plays were him scrambling.
Niners are no slouch. What did you expect the giants to just roll through like vs the Pack. C'mon Man!
All in all though...they are still a decent team. Are they the best team in the league? def not.....but, for some reason they get hot in the playoffs. I'm no Giants fan....but I will be for the SB. Can't stand the Pats.
For every Giant action...there was a Niner force trying to stop them. Therefore this being the Championship Game...the winner needs to play great. Giants played great!
No team played great. It is what it is. Since you're a Giants fan you will naturally say they played great. Since I'm not, I can see outside the box. I thought the game was boring....3 and outs over and over and over.
Plus, the Giant weren't firing on all cylinders. IMO the Giants are a better team then the niners, but easily could have lost. Giants received a huge present. Let's see if the Giants come to play against NE.

A drug bust in Cleveland
(Cleveland) Cleveland Police are involved in a drug bust at several homes on East 74th Street. It's part of an on-going investigation to break up a major heroin and cocaine ring. 12 arrest warrants and six search warrants have been issued.
Mayor Frank Jackson says this sends a clear message to anyone involved in drug activity. "We're here, we're on top of it, and that we will not tolerate this kind of activity."
The FBI is also involved in the sweep of the East 74th Street neighborhood. It's not known how long it will go on.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio would experience election delays and confusion if a judge upholds a complaint alleging that voting equipment in some counties raises the possibility of ballots being altered after they are cast, state attorneys warned Tuesday.
The state is asking a federal judge to reject claims raised in a lawsuit a day earlier that software installed by the state could allow vote manipulation by non-election board officials.
The lawsuit against Ohio's elections chief and Omaha, Neb.-based Election Systems and Software alleges asks the judge to order Ohio not to use ES&S hardware or software Tuesday and to break state contracts with ES&S for equipment to be used this year.
State attorneys said representing Secretary of State Jon Husted in a court filing Tuesday morning that granting this request would thwart the election's smooth operation.
Not using the software would require election boards "to develop, communicate, and implement a new policy and procedures for collecting and reporting the votes in the middle of an election," state attorneys said.
"Such a last minute ruling would unnecessarily thwart the smooth operation of the election and result in inevitable delay and confusion for election officials and the public," assistant Ohio attorney general Richard Coglianese said in a court filing.
A hearing was under way Tuesday before U.S. District Court Judge Gregory Frost in Columbus.
A "back door" in ES&S software and hardware creates "an imminent risk" that people not supervised by election boards could "alter the recording and tabulation of votes cast by Ohio voters in the General Election," according to the lawsuit, filed Monday on behalf of Bob Fitrakis, a longtime Ohio elections activist.
A Husted spokesman on Monday called the lawsuit "ridiculous," saying the software allows faster transmission of results from county election boards to the reporting system after polls close. Spokesman Matt McClellan said it has nothing to do with voting machines, only the results that are tabulated afterward.
The equipment is in Ohio's 25 most populous counties, said Columbus attorney Cliff Arnebeck, who filed the lawsuit.

Located 76 kilometres west of the capital city of Harare, Darwendale Recreational Park occupies a total area of 11,200 hectares.Of this area, Lake Mayame water body swallows 8,100 hectares, just under three quarters of the parks total area.
The dam wall is 2 kilometres long and the maximum water depth is 226 metres. It took about three years to construct the dam, from 1973 to 1976. The park was established in 1973 but was officially opened in 1976.
The recreational park has a small area reserved for game. Here you can expect to see the less dangerous and smaller animals, mainly herbivores. The most prevalent species are sable, kudu, waterbuck, bush pig, reedbuck, common duiker, warthog, baboon, vervet monkey, oribi and porcupine.
This park is a prime fishing destination attracting local, regional and international fishing enthusiasts. The major fish species within the lake are Mozambique and blue bream, Hunyani salmon, mud sucker, tiger fish, barbel, parrot fish, bulldog, spot tail, minnow bass and African mottled eel.
Fishing is the main attraction and bass fishing attracts thousands of enthusiasts annually. Fishing tournaments are held frequently with the most distinguished and world renowned being the Bass Masters Tournament. The record catch on 25 July 2004 was a bass weighing 18,4 pounds.
The vegetation is well fed by the thick soils made fertile by humus derived from falling leaves and dying tall grass and other plants coupled with favourable rainfall.The park is able to sustain a variety of tree species among them; musasa, munhondo, mukarati, ficus, capensis, dicyrostachys, cinera, pseudolachnostylls, maprononeifolia, euphorbia ingens, diopyros.
The park has two well sited lodges, camping sites, caravan sites, and picnic sites. Firewood for your braai and cooking purposes can be purchased from the main park office.
The park has 2 lodges situated less than 2 kilometres from the main entrance and 500 metres from the main park office. The lodges have views which overlook the water body, have 2 bedrooms each with 2 beds. There is a dining room, kitchen and bathroom with hot and cold running water for each lodge. All cooking utensils are provided complete with cutlery and crockery. The kitchens are fully equipped with refrigrators and four plate stoves with grills. Each lodge has an open air braai point where visitors can catch the fresh water breeze rising from the sprawling lake. The lodges have electricity for lighting and for energy.
Camp Site
Communal Campsite
The camping site is situated close to the launching point for boats making it an ideal camping point for both fishing enthusiasts and water sport enthusiasts. There are communal ablution blocks with bathrooms and showers providing both hot and cold running water. Water points and braai points are dotted around the camping site, while the lake is only a stone's throw away for those who may need fresh untreated water. For those campers who may need electricity for their sites, it can be sourced from the nearby ablution block. In such cases the Parks authorities encourage you to carry long extension cables in the event that your site may be situated a few metres away from the ablution block.
Caravan Site
The camp site and caravan site share the same ablution facilities. Firewood for your braai and cooking purposes can be purchased from the main park office.
Picnic Site
The picnic sites are sprinkled along the north-western shore of the lake. The beauty of the lake can be savoured from the 10 rondavels at the picnic site. Each picnic rondavel has its own individual braai point. There is also an ablution block in close proximity to all the rondavels.
The following are some of the main activities offered at Darwendale Recreational Park:
• Fishing, angling
• Boating, water skiing, yatching
• Camping
• Picnicking
• Walking
• Bird watching

Bass fishing record of 18,4 pounds ( Darwendale is one of the best angling environments in the world)

How to get to Darwendale Recreational Park
The best route to the park is through Norton and on to the Robert Mugabe Highway. Approximately about 23 kilometres you turn right on to the Darwendale road. There is approximately 11 kilometres from the main Robert Mugabe Highway to the Park. Alternatively, visitors can also access the park from Lomagundi/ Chirundu Road. You drive past Nkomo and Nyabira to Darwendale Growth Point. 3 kilometres from the Growth Point, you turn left into the road linking the Growth point and Robert Mugabe Highway. The road is well signposted to guide you safely to the Park.

Will the Maestro of Mope actually retire?
Will this be the last chance for local fans to catch him in concert?
And if so, will he play the Smiths' classic, "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want"?
Those are some of the questions that fans will be asking themselves as Morrissey, the former frontman for the Smiths, plays a solo show at the Moore Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. The show was rescheduled from November; Morrissey postponed the date after his mother got sick.
The 53-year-old singer said last year that he's planning to retire in 2014, explaining that he had been "aging a lot recently" and that "the body changes shape and there's nothing you can do about it."
Whatever he ultimately decides, Morrissey is still performing for now. So expect to hear plenty of gloomy and theatrical rock 'n' roll when he hits Seattle.
Tickets are $62.50 to $82.50 at stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.
Alicia Keys is also heading to town, as she continues her "Set the World on Fire" tour. She'll play the WaMu Theater at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
Keys is among the most popular R&B singers operating today. While she's only had one true pop smash — her No. 1 hit "Fallin'" from 2001 — that song established her fan base. All six of her albums have since reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
She's now touring behind her latest hit album, "Girl on Fire."
Tickets are $60.20 to $124.50 at ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000.
Unlike Keys, Alabama Shakes is just starting its career. It will play the Paramount Theatre at 7 p.m. Sunday.
The Alabama-based blues rock band won comparisons to the Black Keys after it made a splash last year with its debut hit, "Come On." That track topped Rolling Stone's list of the best songs of the year.
The group, led by singer Brittany Howard, is touring behind its first album, "Boys and Girls."
Tickets are $28.75 at stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.
Another group familiar to readers of Rolling Stone will play the Paramount Theatre at 7:30 p.m.. Tuesday.
Passion Pit, which won acclaim from the magazine for its breakthrough single, "Take a Walk," is touring.
Arguably, this could be the most fun show of the coming week, as the energetic group will bring along two high-octane openers, Matt &Kim and Icona Pop.
All three bands deal in the type of indie rock that crosses over into the mainstream, as they build their sound around synthesizers and catchy hooks.
Tickets are $33.25 at stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.
The chart-topping Christian rock group Anberlin will play the Showbox at the Market at 7 p.m. Sunday.
Anberlin got its start on Seattle's own Tooth and Nail Records, releasing three albums for the indie label. The group then jumped over to a major label — Universal Republic — and its alt-rock sound began to grow heavier.
The group is touring behind its sixth studio album, "Vital," which like other recent efforts by the band topped Billboard's Christian album chart.
Tickets are $20 at showboxonline.com or 888-929-7849.
And finally, Hey Marseilles, the Seattle-based chamber pop band, will play a sold-out show at the Showbox at the Market at 7 p.m. Friday.
The group will be celebrating the impending release of its new album, "Lines We Trace," which hits stores Tuesday.
Though sold out, tickets can be found at stubhub.com.

Birthmarks - pigmentedNevus sebaceous; Hairy nevus; Nevi; Mole; Cafe-au-lait spots; Congenital nevus
A birthmark is a skin marking that is present at birth. Birthmarks include cafe-au-lait spots, moles, and mongolian spots. Birthmarks can also be red.
Cafe-au-lait spots may occur in people with the genetic disorder, neurofibromatosis.
Nearly everyone has moles, which usually appear after birth.
Mongolian spots are more common in people with darker skin.
Each type of birthmark has its own appearance:
- Cafe-au-lait spots are light tan, the color of coffee with milk.
- Moles are small clusters of colored skin cells.
- Mongolian spots (also called Mongolian blue spots) are usually bluish or bruised-looking. They usually appear over the lower back or buttocks. They are also found inother areas such asthe trunk or arms.
Other symptoms of birthmarks:
- Abnormally dark or light skin
- Growth of hair from pigmented skin
- Skin lesion
- Skin lumps
- Textured skin that can besmooth, flat, raised, or wrinkled
Exams and Tests
The doctor will examine your skin to make the diagnosis. You may have a biopsy to look for skin changes that are signs of cancer. The doctor may take pictures of the birthmarkto compare changes over time.
The type of treatment you have depends on thetype of birthmark and related conditions. Usually no treatment is needed for the birthmark itself.
Large birthmarks that affect your appearance and self-esteem may be covered with special cosmetics.
You may have surgery to remove moles if theythey affect your appearance or have an increased cancer risk. Talk to your doctor how and when to remove any moles.
Support Groups
Nevus Outreach is a support group for people with large birthmarks called nevi.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Large moles that are present at birth (congenital nevi) are more likely to become skin cancer (malignant melanoma). This is especially true if the mole covers an area larger than the size of a fist. The cancer risk is related to the size, location, shape, and color of the mole.
Mongolian spots may persist for months or years. They do NOT become cancer or develop other symptoms.
Possible Complications
- Skin cancer
- Emotional distress if the birthmark affects appearance
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Havea health care provider examine any birthmark. Report changes in the birthmark to your health care provider, including:
- Bleeding
- Color change
- Inflammation
- Itching
- Open sore (ulceration)
- Pain

Many fans eat a whole box at a time. Beware! Vegan FoodsLucy's delicious cookies are made without milk, eggs or any other animal-based raw material. All of their products are made in a dedicated bakery. Dr. Lucy's goal is to provide excellent foods that you can trust. Dr. Lucy's cookies are certified Vegan. Certified Gluten FreeLucy's delicious cookies are certified gluten free by GFCO, a program of the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG). GFCO, Gluten-Free Certification Organization, provides an independent service to supervise gluten-free food production according to a consistent, defined, science-based standard that is confirmed by field inspections. The goal of GFCO is to enhance confidence and safety. About Food Allergies Understand What "Allergen Free" Really MeansIt's a catch-all phrase that can be confusing. There is no official definition of this term. Most people use it to say that foods are made without certain ingredients. The tricky part is making sure the product you are considering is truly without your concerning allergens. That's why on Dr. Lucy's labels they say "made without milk, eggs, wheat, gluten, peanuts and tree nuts." Otherwise, Dr. Lucy's has noticed that "allergen free" usually refers to the eight major food allergens: milk, eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish. Ninety percent of people with food allergies are allergic to at least one of these. However, it's important to know that some people are allergic to other foods; for example: sesame, corn, strawberries. Another important thing is to know how a company ensures that their product is made without certain ingredients. At Dr. Lucy's they have incorporated three key features into their Quality Program. First, they buy their raw materials from carefully selected producers. Thus they are starting with ingredients that are presumed to be without certain allergens. Then, they use the best available testing to make sure there are no detectable allergens from their list. Lastly, Dr. Lucy's doesn't allow wheat, gluten, milk, eggs, peanuts or tree nuts into their bakery. So, they remove the chance of cross-contact during production. These three safeguards allow them to provide the highest quality foods made without certain ingredients that you can buy. Know Your Problem FoodsKnow your problem foods and any tricky alternate food names, similar allergens or routine contaminants.Did you know that whey is made from milk? And, that spelt is so closely related to wheat it usually causes the same health problems? Or, did you know that some spices and grains are milled in situations where nut contamination is likely? Or that most oats produced in the U.S. are wheat-contaminated due to shared fields and machinery? Lucy's delicious cookies are made without the common food allergens --- wheat, milk, eggs, peanuts and tree nuts. Dr. Lucy's also tests for trace amounts of these allergens. In addition, their oats are certified "gluten free". All of their products are made in a dedicated facility. Dr. Lucy's goal is to provide excellent foods that you can trust.

Whoops! 9 Times Harry Reid Said 'The Wrong Thing'
Listen to NRA News Cam & Company on iHeartRadio
Senate Majority Leader and totally lovable Harry Reid has apologized for making a few offensive (and lame) asian jokes at an Asian Chamber of Commerce event Thursday.
"My comments were in extremely poor taste and I apologize," Sen. Reid said in a statement to TIME. "Sometimes I say the wrong thing."
Here are just a few of those times Reid has said "the wrong thing."
1. Reid referred to Barack Obama as "light-skinned" and without a "Negro dialect," in 2008, and said those two factors would help Obama's then presidential bid. His comments were reported in the book "Game Changer," in 2010, and he eventually apologized for his remarks. "I deeply regret using such a poor choice of words," Reid said.
2. In 2008, Reid explained his relief that the Capitol Visitor Center was completed, because he would no longer have to "smell the tourists" on hot days. "My staff has always said, 'Don't say this,' but I'm going to say it again because it's so descriptive, because it's true," he said at the dedication. "In the summertime, because (of) the high humidity and how hot it gets here, you could literally smell the tourists coming into the Capitol."
3. As the healthcare debate was raging in 2009, Reid told a Nevada newspaper Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy's then recent death would help the Democrats' cause. "I think [Kennedy] will be a help. He's an inspiration for us. [Healthcare] was the issue of his life and he didn't get it done."

This is really quite amazing (notice my use of the word "quite." Raise your pinky. It's tea time ; ) That Sharpie should be in the same company with some of the world's most pretigious individuals in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Physiology, Medicine, Literature and Peace. I'm talking about Nobel Laureates -people nominated to receive Nobel Prizes. Sharpie is a small player in a unique event that involves a number of Nobel Laureates helping to raise money for medical causes — everything from homelessness to AIDS to diabetes. The initiative involves violins and some of the smartest people ever to grace the planet..oh, and Sharpie.
The Longwood Symphony Orchestra (Brookline, Mass.) has created something called Visual Violins. Visual Violins is a program where national and international artists design unvarnished violins to raise money for charity. There is, however, one very special violin that is autographed by Nobel Laureates using Sharpie markers (that's where we come in) and then auctioned at the Symphony's annual Gala.
Proceeds from the auction support Longwood Symphony Orchestra's Healing Art of Music Program. LSO has recently launched LSO Musicians on Call, a program that brings musicians directly into health care facilities and assisted living residences to share music directly with patients.
Amazingly, the Symphony has traveled a single violin around the world to be autographed by past and current Nobel Laureates. The gala and auction will be held March 24.
Take a look as some of the brightest minds lend their Sharpie autographs to this worthy cause:
Below is a list of all of the Nobel Laureates who will have contributed their signatures:
Prof. Sidney Altman, Chemistry 1989
Dr. David Baltimore, Medicine 1975
Prof. Günter Blobel, Medicine 1999
Dr. Eric Kandel, Medicine 2000
Dr. William Lipscomb, Chemistry 1976

White on the Nature of Leadership
What do elephants and lizards have to do with making a great leader? In his recently published book, The Nature of Leadership: Reptiles, Mammals, and the Challenge of Becoming a Great Leader, B. Joseph White, the University of Illinois President and James Towey Professor of Business Administration, weaves lively stories from his own leadership journey and explains his analogy from the animal kingdom that defines the universal nature of leadership.
On February 28, 2007, from 11:00-12:00 a.m. Central Time, the American Marketing Association will host an interactive web cast featuring White discussing excerpts from his book and his own leadership journey.
"Leaders come in all shapes, sizes, and types," he writes in his book. "Some are the reptiles, the cold-blooded, tough-as-nails decision makers with their eyes on the numbers and a focus on control. Others are the mammals, the warm-blooded, compassionate creatures who connect with others around them and build success through mutual trust and open communication."
Good leaders combine the attributes of both "reptiles and mammals," he says, and "the true leader is the one who transcends type and moves beyond usual barometers of success to achieve real change in his or her organization."
The web cast is free, but registration is required: www.amanet.org/events/ .

Pieces of History
Military Logistics of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, 1914–1919
Michel Litalien
Canadian military logistics is a dimension of the history of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) that is often overlooked. Yet just a few days after Canada's entry into the First World War, it was obvious that there was no way of ignoring it. When huge numbers of military and civilian volunteers showed up at Valcartier, near Quebec City, in August 1914, logistical support services, which had only recently been established, were soon put to the test. Clothing and equipping the members of the first contingent turned out to be a real headache. Manufacturers had to be found and contracts drawn up in a hurry for the production of uniforms, boots, belts, weapons, vehicles and so on. From a logistical standpoint, mobilizing the first contingent destined for Europe was a nightmare.
Throughout the Great War, the Canadian Expeditionary Force's logistical support system was an immense, complex operation. Of all the support services, the Canadian Army Service Corps (CASC) was the most diversified. Its main responsibilities were transporting combat troops, delivering equipment and materials, and providing the troops with fresh supplies. In addition to these essential tasks, the CASC also evacuated the wounded (ambulance drivers belonged to the corps), salvaged equipment that had been captured from the enemy or left behind on the battlefield and delivered mail. The CASC worked closely with the Canadian Ordnance Corps, the Canadian Army Medical Corps, and the Canadian Artillery Corps for the transportation of specialized ordnance.
The CASC operated from seaports located hundreds of kilometres from the battlefield, all the way to just behind the front lines. Its replenishment system could supply not only small groups of just a few men but also formations the size of an infantry battalion (approximately 1,000 men).
Resupplying front-line units was a multistep process. From ports and depots, supplies were first taken by railway to railheads. From there, CASC units were responsible for moving the supplies by truck or light railway to supply dumps. These operations took place in the third line of supply. Thanks to their small size, light railways could run and reach areas closer to the front lines more easily. It was also harder for enemy artillery to pinpoint them. The administrative area behind the front lines was crisscrossed by light rail lines that were built and maintained by Canadian railway troops.
From the supply dumps, the CASC's divisional train and ammunition supply column, both of which were horse-drawn, were responsible for bringing supplies closer to the front lines, to their respective divisions or individual units. This was the second line of supply.
Lastly, operations to supply front-line units constituted the first line of supply. These units had to come back to the rear to get their own supplies of gear, ammunition, weapons, technical and communications equipment, water, medication and food. These supply expeditions were carried out chiefly at night so that the soldiers could not be seen by the enemy. But assigning combat troops to this task meant that a battalion's defensive positions at the front would be short of manpower for a time and so vulnerable to enemy attack.
Toward the end of the war, however, a Canadian officer from Montreal proposed using the tumpline system — the method that Canada's aboriginal people and coureurs de bois had used to carry large loads on foot. Before the introduction of this system, infantryman had to carry supplies in their arms, thus limiting the quantity of materials due to their size and weight. The tumpline system, which involved the use of a head strap, allowed the soldiers to carry more weight and freed up their arms, thus giving them more freedom of movement. With this system, each soldier was able to transport a greater quantity of supplies and so fewer men were required for the job, leaving more troops to ensure the defence of the front lines.
Besides regularly providing drivers and vehicles to other units, the CASC also maintained and repaired its vehicles. It also had to make sure that the troops were fed, which meant that fresh and hard rations had to be allocated and distributed properly; its military cooks oversaw the operation of field bakeries and butcheries.
The CASC was not the only logistical support corps to play a key role in the CEF. The Canadian Ordnance Corps was responsible for procuring, storing and distributing uniforms, boots, equipment, weapons, ammunition and shells to combat troops. Specialized supply depots, located in the second line of supply, helped ensure more effective distribution.
The Canadian Ordnance Corps' other major role was to maintain equipment in the field. The repairmen in the specialized ordnance mobile workshops could get closer to the deployed units and repair their weapons, both light and heavy, as well as their equipment. If the mobile workshops were not able to do the repairs on site, the weapons and equipment were shipped to heavy or stationary workshops at the rear, where virtually anything could be reassembled or rebuilt. The small detachments of the Ordnance Corps worked closely with the various units of the Army Service Corps.
Despite the gradual mechanization of the war, horses remained a vital component of the CEF. The cavalry, the artillery and, of course, the Army Service Corps used huge numbers of horses right up to the end of the war. At one point, Canadians were using as many as 24,000 horses and mules in their overseas operations. Horses could often manage in places where motorized vehicles could make no headway! Inevitably, some horses suffered injuries or fell ill. The Canadian Veterinary Corps operated mobile sections to take care of horses; it also ran veterinary hospitals for horses, advanced remount depots and specialized basic provisions depots.
Other logistical support services also played a crucial role in enabling combat troops to get on with their job. The Canadian Postal Corps, for instance, helped maintain the morale of soldiers at the front, at the rear and also those convalescing in hospitals. Army chaplains, who constituted the smallest organized support group, provided religious services to Canadian soldiers of different faiths and offered moral support at difficult times. Lastly, despite the enemy's efforts to maintain a naval blockade by submarines, the Canadian Forestry Corps ensured that Great Britain, France and the Canadian Expeditionary Force obtained all the timber they needed to carry out their military operations.
Thousands of men served in these various organizations. The Army Service Corps, for example, counted over 17,000 officers and non-commissioned soldiers in its organization. Even if these units were not combat troops, many of them, including the Army Service Corps, played important roles in all military actions. One hundred and four members of the CASC were killed, and 363 were wounded.

Life in the Trenches
Tim Cook
Historian, Canadian War Museum
From Switzerland to the North Sea, some 500 kilometres long, soldiers on both sides carved out ditches in the ground that, over time, were expanded in complexity and depth. By 1915, vast underground cities housed the soldiers, as the opposing armies faced off against each other across no man's land. Along this continuous line of trenches, offensive operations degenerated into frontal assaults, which were usually stopped dead by concentrated fire.
The Western Front, as it was called, consisted of a series of trench systems in depth. The front lines were held in strength, but behind them, joined by a series of communication trenches that ran perpendicular to the front, were support and rear trenches. Deep protective dugouts were situated along the front and rear trenches to provide some degree of safety against all but direct hits from artillery fire. Saps and listening posts were pushed into no man's land, where soldiers were positioned to provide advance warnings of enemy attacks.
Despite the unsanitary nature of front line trenches, they were areas of safety. The trenches protected against small arms fire, shrapnel bursts and high explosive bombardments. Every day and night soldiers shored up the crumbling walls, filled sandbags, and rebuilt sections that had been damaged by artillery fire. It was not only a war of the machine gun and rifle, but also of the shovel.
Life in the trenches was filled with long periods of boredom interspersed with terror. Much of the time was spent in routine duty. At half an hour before dawn, the infantry was roused from their dugouts or funk holes (small spaces carved into the trench walls) and ordered to 'Stand-To.' At the alert, they waited for a possible attack with bayonet fixed. If nothing occurred, and it rarely did, since the infantry of both sides were always at their most prepared at this time, officers inspected the men. Rifles were examined for rust; feet were prodded to ensure that dry socks had been worn to protect against trench foot. The latter being a type of frostbite that occurred from prolonged standing in cold, slushy water, and could, in severe cases, require the amputation of toes or feet. After inspection, soldiers were often rewarded with a small dose of rum, which was much appreciated by the men, who saw it as a form of medicine to help withstand the daily deprivations.
Breakfast, like most meals, usually consisted of canned beef, jam and biscuits. It was a monotonous diet, but soldiers rarely went hungry. For lunch or dinner, soup or stew was brought up from rear areas to offer some variety and warmth. Care packages from home, filled with cheese, bread and sweets, augmented the bland food. During the day, though, the goal of most privates was to avoid the sergeant who assigned trench chores. Most were unsuccessful, with soldiers spending much of their time rebuilding the trenches or standing sentry.
Despite these duties, soldiers had much free time, during which they dreamed of home and of loved ones left behind; worried about children who were growing up without a father; of ailing parents with no caregivers; or of a wife who was trying to feed a family with insufficient funds. Literate soldiers might spend a few hours scribbling letters. Return mail from home was a welcomed treat, with letters read and reread. These exchanges back and forth remained an important life-line to Canada from the trenches. And while they were usually subject to two levels of censorship, by officers at the front and officials in England, soldiers nonetheless tried to share their thoughts with those at home. Civilians could not understand everything, nor could soldiers often capture the full range of their strange experiences in words, but letters remained an important avenue of expression.
Boredom could be kept at bay through gambling, and there was always some rake with dice or cards to fleece his mates. If a soldier had no money, he at least had cigarettes. Soldiers smoked all day long, and cigarettes, which were issued by the army, bought in rear areas, and begged from those at home, were a useful distraction. They helped to calm the nerves, or so soldiers said, and they certainly helped to mask the stench of unwashed bodies.
There were no baths in the front lines and, most soldiers went at least a week, usually longer, without changing their clothes. Dirt and mud were a part of life and, during the winter, helped to insulate soldiers. Far more trying was the infestation of parasitic body lice. The lice lived in the seams of clothing where they feasted on human blood. Soldiers scratched themselves raw to get at their infernal enemies. They learned to defeat their insect adversaries, at least for a time, by taking off their shirts and running a candle over the seams. This drew out the lice that were then squashed satisfactorily between finger and thumb. While soldiers did this, they would sit around, talk, complain and gossip. It was known as 'chatting,' and it is just one of many wartime phrases that would enter the English lexicon. But the lice always came back, tormenting the soldiers day and night.
Rats, too, were a constant plague, and because they lived off corpses, they could grow as big as cats. They bit soldiers and scurried over their faces while they slept. The rats were hunted by soldiers and their trench pets, usually fierce terrier dogs, but the rodents lived in and outside of the trenches and were always multiplying. Their squealing movement could be heard throughout the battlefield.
Amidst the mud and slush in the winter, or heat and flies in the summer, soldiers developed their own trench culture. New words sprang up, slang like 'napoo' for being killed, or 'blighty' that referred to England or home. Artistic soldiers could take spent ammunition and shape it into art. Some soldiers tried their hand at poetry. While most were not as skilled as John McCrae, Wilfrid Owen or Siegfried Sassoon, to name the best-known war poets, the trench poetry or doggerel provided much insight into the soldiers' front-line experiences. At the group level, some battalions printed trench newspapers. Drawing from their own soldiers in the ranks—men who in civilian life had been editors, journalists and cartoonists—these crude newspapers contained rough humour and wry commentary on the strange, subterranean world of the trenches.
But just as a soldier might be penning a letter or staring at the blue sky above, the crash of an artillery shell could bring sudden death. The enemy was always there to kill or maim. Snipers skulked into no man's land, camouflaged and ready to put a bullet through a man's head should it rise, even for a second, above the safety of the trench parapet. Poison gas was released in the form of gas clouds and artillery shells, and soldiers who could not put on their respirator quickly faced a lingering death as chemicals corrupted and ravaged lungs.
Machine-gun bullets raked the front lines day and night. Yet artillery shells were the greatest killer in the war, accounting for more than half of all deaths. High explosive shells blew deep holes in the ground or wrecked trenches; soldiers were atomized by direct hits. Equally deadly, shrapnel artillery shells rained hundreds of metal balls and jagged steel down on soldiers, shredding through flesh and bone. Steel helmets, introduced in early 1916, helped to reduce casualties, but a unit's tour in the front lines almost always resulted in a steady hemorrhage of casualties. It was clinically called wastage, and impersonal charts showed that each month the infantry would lose approximately 10% of its strength, even in quiet areas where no operations were carried out. While the snipers and artillerymen did their dirty work, the soldiers could look around and see their best friends killed and maimed.
Yet the soldiers struck back in the form of nighttime raids. Changing into dark clothes, equipping themselves with revolvers, grenades, daggers and clubs, small groups of men snuck past their wire and into no man's land. Raids were a form of organized mugging, and the goal was to gather intelligence, kill the enemy and grab a prisoner. Enemy sentries were usually the target, but sometimes large groups of raiders slipped into the opposite trenches to wreck mayhem. While Canadian troops acquired a reputation as fierce raiders, these operations were dangerous affairs, and in the confusion of night fighting, casualties were often heavy.
To help relieve the unending pressure on soldiers, they were rotated in and out of the front line. On roughly four- to six-day tours, filthy, verminous, exhausted soldiers passed from front to secondary lines and finally to the reserves. This rotation helped to relieve the strain, but soldiers always knew they would return to the trenches in this maddening cycle.
Endurance was the key to survival and soldiers learned to cope with the inhuman conditions. Some developed fatalistic attitudes, believing they would be killed 'when their number was up'; others lived in terror all the time; a few hoped for a blighty wound, a bullet through the hand or leg that would take them away from the horror and back to a clean hospital in England. Thousands suffered mental breakdowns, known as shell shock, but hundreds of thousands more of the 'poor bloody infantry,' as the soldiers liked to call themselves, learned to withstand the strain of the trenches. And it was these survivors who, after four years of bitter fighting, would finally break the static warfare on the Western Front and defeat the German forces.

Artillery: The Great Killer
Tim Cook
Historian, Canadian War Museum
In 1914 and 1915, artillery proved it was the great killer. For those caught in the open, shrapnel and high explosive shells wreacked havoc. Thousands were left rotting on the battlefields. However, artillery guns were vulnerable to small arms fire, and they could be driven away from the front. But the guns were soon firing indirectly from hidden positions several kilometeres to the rear, still causing terrible damage. Soldiers were forced to find safety in trenches, digging beneath the ground to escape the murderous fire.
As trenches were strengthened with barbed wire, deep dugouts, and machine -guns, an enormous weight of fire was needed to smash the enemy defences and support the infantry. But there were not always enough shells in the early years to feed the guns. And so the infantry were killed in the tens of thousands as they attacked undamaged enemy trenches in frontal assaults. As the war lengthened, artillerymen received nearly unlimited supplies of shells through the enormous production of munitions factories. New tactics were also developed to improve the accuracy of the guns.
Artillery shells contained high explosives, shrapnel, and, later in the war, poison gas and smoke. Both the high explosive and shrapnel shells were timed to detonate in the air above a target. High explosive shells blasted holes in the trenches and the concussion alone could kill, as lungs collapsed under the force of the explosion. Shrapnel shells were equally deadly, consisting of more than 300 rounded metal balls that exploded downward in a cone-shaped rain of whirling metal. As well, the casing of the shell was designed to explode outward, creating jagged, uneven shards of steel that tore through flesh.
By 1916, commanders believed that massive artillery shoots, involving hundreds of thousands of shells, would annihilate the enemy defenders. This would allow the infantry to punch a hole through enemy lines and restore mobility on the Western Front.
However, it was often hard to hit, and then destroy, the narrow and well-fortified trenches. The problem also lay in the shell fuses. Earlier types were not sensitive enough to explode on contact, especially with shells tasked to clear barbed wire. As a result, many of the shells exploded in the ground, killing very few of the enemy, leaving the infantry to fight their way through defences-in-depth. By the end of 1916, newer, sensitive fuses that exploded on the slightest contact harnessed the destructive power of the artillery and, equally important to the infantry, cleared barbed wire from in front of enemy trenches.
Tactics again changed during the later phases of the bloody battles of the Somme in the last half of 1916. The gunners would never be able to destroy all of the German defences, and even one machine -gunner could kill hundreds of attacking infantry. Instead, the artillery sought to suppress enemy fire through a "creeping barrage," and give their own attacking infantry enough time to cross the killing zone of nNo Mman's Lland.
Gunners fired their shells to create a "creeping" wall of fire that slowly moved forward over the enemy lines at fixed intervals: 50 yards (46 m) every couple of minutes, less for muddy ground, more for open warfare. In effect, it was a screen of fire and explosives. As this moving wall of shrapnel and high explosives chewed up the ground in its path, the infantry were told to "lean into the barrage" and stay as close as possible. Although friendly fire was expected and occurred, the casualties would still be lighter than if the creeping barrage moved off and allowed German machine -gunners, waiting in the safety of deep dugouts, to get to the top of their trenches before the infantry crossed nNo Mman's lLand.
At the Battle of Vimy Ridge in April 1917, the gunners had perfected the creeping barrage. Yet enemy gunners still took a fearful toll as they laid down their own counter-barrages to catch the follow-on waves of infantry. The enemy guns had to be stopped, or slowed, but it was exceedingly difficult to identify, target, and destroy camouflaged guns several kilometeres away.
Accurate intelligence was essential, and new and refined forms of science aided the gunners. The Canadian Corps was lucky to have Brigadier-General Andrew McNaughton, commander of the counter-battery office for much of the war, who embraced new technology and tactics. A prewar professor at McGill University, he turned to science to save his soldiers lives.
The Canadian Counter Battery Office (CCBO), established in February 1917, gathered intelligence and processed information on the enemy to assist in knocking out his guns. Aerial reconnaissance from the Royal Flying Corps (later Royal Air Force) was of great assistance as airmen photographed the front from great heights. Later in the war, observation aircraft circled the battlefield, passing real-time information to the gunners through letter drops and primitive wireless radio.
As the CCBO developed after April 1917, this information-gathering and target-selection became more sophisticated, with new technology, like sound-ranging and flash-spotting, assisting gunners to find and destroy enemy targets.
Flash-spotting involved the coordination of observers. At least three posts were needed, usually spread out along several kilometeres. When an enemy gun position was spotted by the revealing flash as the shell left the barrel, the observers were telephoned by headquarters to turn their attention to that spot. After studying the flash of the gun, the observers would hit a key that was connected to a lamp at headquarters. From the observers' bearings, and by triangulating their estimates, enemy guns could be located with high precision.
Sound-ranging worked on a similar principle. Listeners sat two kilometeres behind the line with their microphones. Additional posts were manned well ahead of these positions. As long as there was not more than one shell per second being fired, on hearing the crash of an enemy gun, the forward listening post pressed a key that started an oscillograph, an instrument that recorded on film the sound of the shell in flight as it reached each microphone in turn. The time-intervals between the microphones allowed the CCBO to analyse the information and, if conditions were optimal, pinpoint enemy guns to within twenty-five 25 yards (23 m). All available counter-battery guns would be aimed on that spot to deliver a destructive shoot of 50-100 shells. Chemical shells were also used to kill or force the enemy gunners to wear debilitating respirators that severely affected the rate of fire.
In the last year of the war, artillery had perfected the creeping barrage and was steadily improving its counter-battery work. Further tactical refinement allowed gunners to fire more complicated barrages, like a box barrage. The box barrages set up a wall of fire and explosives around an enemy position —-- usually a trench —-- which effectively isolated it from reinforcements. It allowed assaulting Canadian infantrymen to capture and consolidate a position without fear of immediate counterattack.
By war's end, 43,914 gunners had served in the Canadian artillery, and 2,565 had lost their lives from disease, injury, and battlefield wounds. They had fired tens of millions of shells, reducing the landscape to a desolate wasteland, and an estimated 60% of all wounds were inflicted by shell fire. The First World War was indeed a gunner's war.

Move over Hobart, we're after your spot on the Test match calendar.
Not content with securing the city's inaugural visit from the Australian cricket team, ACT Sports Minister Andrew Barr has cheekily declared Canberra would draw bigger Test match crowds than the pitiful showing in the Tasmanian capital over the past five days.
Only 17,360 people walked through the Blundstone Arena turnstiles for the first four days of the Test with Sri Lanka, which finished in an exciting Australian win on Tuesday.
Exorbitant ticket prices, with the cheapest adult seat starting at $43, have been blamed for the sluggish turnout, before prices were slashed to $10 for the final day.
Buoyed by an expected sellout for the historic one-day international between Australia and the West Indies at a revamped Manuka Oval on February 6, Barr had no doubt Canberra could push for a Test match within the next three years.
He will meet Cricket Australia officials during the Sydney Test match early next year to push Canberra's case of entering the calendar as early as the summer of 2015-16, when Australia will host separate three-Test series against New Zealand and the West Indies.
''I'm certain we would get a bigger crowd against Sri Lanka than they are currently getting in Tassie, certainly around the novelty of having a Test match,'' Barr said.
''Without wanting to pick on Tassie in any way, we have to say they're not going to achieve their crowd targets of between 24,000-28,000.
''The issue would be we'd have to negotiate something with Tasmania, whether they have first bidding rights for that or you have to pay them to move the game.''
Barr predicted a Test match at Manuka Oval would be a sellout on the opening day, estimating an overall crowd of at least 30,000 for the five days.
The main purpose of his trip to the SCG next month is to discuss the ACT's bid to host games in the 2015 World Cup in February and March that year, but a Test match in that following summer is also firmly on the agenda.
Canberra is perfectly poised to host its maiden Test match at the end of 2015. The next stage of upgrades to Manuka Oval will be completed, including digging up the ground and moving seats in closer, which will boost capacity by 1500 seats to 15,000.
The next two seasons will feature just five and four Tests against England and India respectively, with a one-dayer or Twenty20 international the best Canberra could hope for in that period.
Cricket ACT chairman Ian McNamee played a straight bat when asked about the possibility of bringing Test matches to Canberra.
"Cricket ACT is focused on successfully delivering the PM's XI and ODI to support our Big Bash League bid,'' McNamee said in a statement.
''Cricket Australia may well consider Manuka Oval in future years to host further international matches.''

Former Lostprophets bandmates release statement
Listen to Lostprophets on iHeartRadio
Ian Watkins' former Lostprophets bandmates are making it clear that they had no knowledge of his "appalling behavior" prior to the Welsh rocker's arrest.
The group released a statement over the weekend explaining that they were holding on to hope that there had been some kind of mistake until Watkins pleaded guilty to 13 sexual offenses last week, including two of attempting to rape a baby.
The band says Watkins was a "difficult character" and admit that their personal relationships with him had deteriorated recently, but they never imagined him capable of something like that. They say the news has left them "heartbroken, angry, and disgusted," adding that it's something that will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
They also say their hearts go out to the victims of Ian's crimes and others like them, and urge any other victims to contact authorities. They hope that Watkins will "truly take responsibility" for his actions. He's scheduled to be sentenced on December 18th.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for British entertainment retailer HMV tells "NME" that the company won't be selling any music by the now-defunct Lostprophets in stores or online. The band announced that they were officially splitting up earlier this year.
