Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/11/2012 (1733 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
There was no food in the house, dad was "buzzed" from smoking pot and entertaining gang members but when Phoenix Sinclair was removed from the home, she was happy, chubby and well-spoken -- and calling every woman "mom."
"She called me mom the entire time," Kim Hansen told the inquiry into Phoenix's death Thursday.
"I remember that," said the after-hours Child and Family Services worker who apprehended the little girl in June 2003. It was the second time Phoenix was apprehended after being taken at birth from her mother, Samantha Kematch, who murdered her two years later.
The inquiry is looking into Phoenix's death and her family's experiences with the child welfare system, starting from the time she was born in April 2000. She was taken into care then returned to her young parents at five months old. Her mom and dad, Steven Sinclair, had another baby in April 2001, broke up, and Sinclair took care of the children. Phoenix's infant sister Echo died from a respiratory infection in July 2001. In March 2002, Child and Family Services officially closed the file on the family.
It was reopened in February 2003 when Phoenix was taken to hospital by an unidentified man. She had a foreign object stuck in her nose that had been there for months. Her nose had become infected.
A social worker went to the home during business hours many times over the next few months, but never saw Phoenix.
Phoenix was apprehended after hours by Hansen in June 2003 during a weekend of binge-drinking and pot-smoking at the Sinclair home.
"It was very odd that she was calling me mom," said the worker with the CFS unit that works nights, weekends and holidays to check on children and rescue them if needed.
"It was most telling," she said. "A three-year-old child, developmentally, is very attached to their mother -- she is their lifeline," said Hansen.
"She didn't display or indicate any fear of strangers," Hansen said.
Normally, a child of that age is wary of strangers, she said.
Phoenix was surrounded by strangers that June weekend when she was taken into care again.
Police were initially called about binge drinking and concerns that a child was not being cared for, the files said.
Police reported they had a hard time rousing Sinclair from his sleep on the couch. Known gang members were at the home that weekend, the report said.
After-hours workers went there several times and told Sinclair they were concerned about him being under the influence and the well-being of Phoenix. Sinclair told them a woman there was caring for Phoenix. There was no food in the home. When the after-hours worker returned to her office, she discovered the woman caring for Phoenix had her own children apprehended. Hansen and a colleague went to the home late on a Sunday afternoon to check on Phoenix and brought food for the family.
There was a strong smell of marijuana and Sinclair said he wasn't stoned, just "buzzed," Hansen's notes at the time said.
"He was still high and not sober enough to take care of his child," Hansen told him. Sinclair said Phoenix was sleeping upstairs and he wouldn't let the social workers in.
"He was informed our involvement was to try and help him sober up and have a safe home for Phoenix," said Hansen. "He wasn't able to do that."
A houseful of people under the influence -- including gang members who may have had weapons -- and a three-year-old child in the middle of it was too much risk, Hansen and her supervisor decided.
They called police and apprehended Phoenix without incident. Sinclair told her he usually didn't drink or get high when he had Phoenix, she said.
"Steve does present with potential," her notes said. Phoenix was, after all, healthy, happy and well-spoken when they took her from his care, Hansen noted.
Phoenix was taken to the CFS shelter at Place Louis Riel. There, she called all her caregivers "mom," said Hansen.
The inquiry resumes Monday.

Terry Collins generated some discussion in recent days by mentioning that he'd like to see Pedro Beato work this winter as a starter. Ron Darling, on last night's broadcast, even speculated as to how he'd make Beato into a starter.
Here's how I think it would work:
Step 1: Hope Beato becomes a different, better pitcher
Step 2: ?????
Step 3: PROFIT
The problem is, there's exactly zero reason to think Beato could succeed as a starter. He didn't excel at it in the minor leagues. His strikeout rate is 5.4 per nine in the major leagues as a reliever- and it is typical for that rate to drop as a starter.
That's too low, even if he were a precision pitcher, and he isn't. His walk rate is 3.7 per nine as a reliever, and it is typical for that rate to rise as a starter.
So, let's review. He failed in the role as a minor leaguer. His command and dominance are already substandard as a reliever. Why exactly is he starter material?
As far as I can tell, it is because he looks like a starter. He's big, strong, and throws hard.
Look, my sixteen-month-old daughter is tiny, likes horses, and would look ADORABLE on one. But if I tried to make her a competitive jockey, tears and losing would surely follow. And they'd probably lock me up for negligence.
The same should happen to anyone who tries to make Pedro Beato a starter. Let him keep working on relieving, in New York or Triple-A next year. A little improvement in the walk and strikeout rates, and he can be a serviceable bullpen arm.
But he's no starter. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go tell my daughter why she won't be competing in the Preakness.

The Crap We Missed – Monday 12.23.13
Alright guys, it's the last The Crap We Missed before Christmas and while she isn't wearing a Santa hat, or condemning gays to Hell, I'm pretty sure Kelly Brook naked practically embodies *clears throat* Jesus' message on his b-day. "My dad sent me here as a gift to you all to absolve your original sin. Two thousand some odd years from now, when you've managed to almost completely negate everything I've ever said in the name of personal indulgence, I will send you down a British (I know, surprised the hell out of me that's still a thing, too!) angel to restore your faith in natural beauty. Try not to nail her to a cro– And goddamnit, I can see you're calling her fat already. Forget it. Loki, do your thing man, I've had it."

this is a cool effect I started seeing very recently... yahoo has it in two parts on their new home pg:
the first one is:
right after you start scrolling the style for the top section (div#masthead) changes to a drop shadow. it's neat.... in addition to adding the drop shadow, they change it from position relative to position absolute; clever....
what I want to know is how is the "scrolling" event captured.... of when to start applying the style changes.. I hope it's just a jQuery event...;-)
if you scroll further down the other one is about half way down, the sidebar on the right stops scrolling with the rest of the content and stays static..... I really like this effect.... what is the event to trigger this?
(I wish event triggers were as easy to see in firebug as the CSS is.....;-)
thank you...
The Yahoo page doesn't use jQuery, but that is not to say that you couldn't achieve the same effect anyway.With jQuery you can bind an event handler to the "scroll" JavaScript event using [.scroll()](http://api.jquery.com/scroll/)To achieve a similar effect, you would probably check the scrollTop value of the main div and apply the appropriate CSS values, as soon as it comes into or goes out of view.
This is known as parallax scrolling. Here's someone asking the same question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13078800/parallax-sidebar-scrolling
thank you... am trying this now (the top part...) .scroll() works like a charm, but when I get to the top of the page and try to remove the class I added on scroll(), it gets a bit more challenging.. based on what's [here and [URL="http://www.devcurry.com/2010/10/use-jquery-to-detect-if-user-has.html"]here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7922988/jquery-detect-coordinate-of-top-of-page-after-scrolling), I did....
if ($(window).scrollTop() == 0) {
but it's being ignored....
I was playing about with this and made a small demo of the effect you are trying to achieve.You can find it here.
The JS that is responsible for applying the class on scroll:
if ($(document).scrollTop() > 70){
} else {
You can have a look at the source code to see the rest.
Please note that if you use this code on a live page, you should save a reference to $(document) and $("#header_container") and use those instead of querying the DOM every time the window scrolls.
this works!!! thank you...
PS (edit): I want to be able to remove the class for scrolling (i.e., return to default state) when user reloads the page.. but unfortunately reload event does not repond to $(document).ready(function(){.... yikes...
is there a way around this??
thank you...
PS (edit): I want to be able to remove the class for scrolling (i.e., return to default state) when user reloads the page.. but unfortunately reload event does not repond to $(document).ready(function(){.... yikes...

When you reload the page the ready event will definitely fire.It must be something else on your page.Could you post a link or the appropriate code so that I can recreate your problem.
Edit: or do you mean you want the text to return to its initial position?
hmmm.... this is my code:
$(document).ready(function() {
if ($(document).scrollTop() > 70){
} else {
my example
Hi there,
Try this:
$(document).ready(function() {
setTimeout(function() {
}, 150);
if ($(document).scrollTop() > 70){
} else {
once again, that worked!!
thank you very much...
Happy to help I'm just working on recreating the second effect you mentioned.I'll post back when I'm done.
awesome!!! :-)) can't wait to see it......
thanks again.....
Here's a demo of the sticky sidebar.As with the last one, the JS is at the bottom of the page, so just look at the source code and you can see how I've done it.Any questions, just give me a shout.
Oh, and by the way, now that I've had time to look at it properly, what I said in my first post about this being an example of parallax scrolling isn't really correct.I don't know what you would call this, but parallax scrolling is more a technique where, as you scroll, background images translate slower than the content in the foreground, creating an illusion of 3D depth.Here's a few examples: http://www.tripwiremagazine.com/2012/07/parallax-scrolling.html
Hope that helps.
Good to know not everyone lost their sanity :D.
I agree this is a cool effect and I've been wondering how to achieve it - and thanks to this thread and a tiny bit of googling I found the native window.onscroll event :).
thank you... it's awesome.....
the examples you posted also... this one is particularly cool.. http://www.culturalsolutions.co.uk/
Haters gonna hate ...
I would hate that to be all you take away from this thread @Lemon_Juice ;So, here's the equivalent function in plain ol' JavaScript
window.onload = function() {
var sidebar = document.getElementById('sidebar'),
overlap = sidebar.scrollHeight - window.innerHeight,
b = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
window.onscroll = function(){
if (b.scrollTop > overlap && !sidebar.className.match(/fixed/)){
sidebar.className = sidebar.className + " fixed";
} else if(b.scrollTop < overlap && sidebar.className.match(/fixed/)){
sidebar.className = sidebar.className - " fixed";
I also added a check to see if the element already has a class of "fixed".
not working in IE8 (I mean the drop shadow doesn't get implemented.. I guess need to think of something for IE8.. (haven't been able to test on IE9.. was wondering if anyone here can look in IE9?)
I can confirm that it works in IE 9 & IE 10.The reason it doesn't work, is that IE 8 (and below) doesn't support drop shadow.The JS, however, is still doing what it should.
You can achieve drop shadow in IE 8 using -ms-filterHere's an article explaining how: http://robertnyman.com/2010/03/16/drop-shadow-with-css-for-all-web-browsers/
Sure, but if you think that I'm a jQuery hater then you are only half right because my relationship with jQuery is 50/50 love and hate. BTW, I used a smiley after my sentence to indicate I wasn't 100% serious! :). What I wanted to say is I'm glad plain javascript isn't dying out - just for the sake of variety at least...
What's wrong with taking away what I'm most interested in? The thread has been useful for me because I learned there is a scroll event. The implementation details are not that important to me because they are fairly easy to figure out once I know that the scroll event exists and I can come back here later in case I need some ideas when I need them.
I'm wondering how this line is supposed to work? I thought I wasn't aware of javascript support of the minus operator on strings but from what I have tested it is not supported...
There is also a nice library for backporting some css effects to IE <= 8: CSS3 PIE - I have used it a few times and it's neat in that I don't have to worry about translating my css to some other obsure IE-filter format. I can honestly recommend it!
thank you Pullo!!!
will certainly try this...
If you used a smiley to indicate that you weren't 100% serious and you proceed the sentence that says you weren't 100% serious with a smiley, that means you weren't 100% serious about not being 100% serious and we get stuck in a loop of endless recursion ...
Oh dear
Yeah, good catch!After a little research, it seems that if you try the subtraction operator on two strings in JS, it will first cast them to numbers and then perform the arithmetic. This still had the effect I wanted in my script, as this:
sidebar.className = sidebar.className - " fixed";
returned NaN which was then assigned to the sidebar as a class name, which worked, the but in spite of my code, rather than because of it.
It would have been better to write this:
sidebar.className = "";
I didn't know about this. I'll check it out. Thanks.

Padres fall to Brewers in Quentin's return
SAN DIEGO -- It wasn't a nasty virus that felled Padres pitcher Clayton Richard on Tuesday, but a bevy of Brewers hits that made for a very short night.
Three days ago, Richard had his start in San Francisco scratched due to flu-like symptoms. His outing in his first start since then proved rough at every turn, as he was hit hard in a 6-3 loss before a crowd of 19,560 at Petco Park.
"I don't think he was quite 100 percent," said Padres manager Bud Black.
Not when it mattered most, as the Brewers scored five runs in the second inning and then hung on for their ninth consecutive victory, while the Padres keep drifting further and further back in the National League West.
At 5-15, the Padres have matched their worst start in franchise history after 20 games. The 1971 and '87 teams also began the season with five victories in their first 20 games.
"Things aren't going our way," Black said. "Our guys are playing hard. There's still 142 games left. We've dug ourselves a hole. There's no secrets. It will happen."
Even after Richard (0-2) allowed a run in the first, things looked rosy for the Padres in the bottom half, as they scored twice. Carlos Quentin, playing in his first game since his eight-game suspension ended, knocked in a run with a single off the third-base bag. The next batter, Yonder Alonso, knocked in a run with another single.
But the second inning proved to be Richard's undoing, as the Brewers sent 10 batters to the plate. The Brewers had five hits in the inning, three of which landed in right field off the left-handed Richard.
"It's one of those outings where I made a few good pitches and they put them in play," Richard said.
Rickie Weeks walked to start the inning and eventually scored on a two-run single by Yuniesky Betancourt. Jonathan Lucroy capped the rally with a two-run double to make it 6-2.
"The Brewers had good at-bats against him, taking the ball the other way. Good pieces of hitting. They strung some hits together," Black said.
Richard allowed six runs on six hits in 1 2/3 innings with two walks and one strikeout.
Richard's start marked the third time in his career that he pitched two innings or fewer. The last was on April 8, 2011, when he pitched one inning against the Dodgers, though the game was delayed because of rain. The other time was July 9, 2009, when he was with the White Sox.
Richard said there was no residual effect from the illness that caused him to miss a start against the Giants.
"It's just one of those things you deal with going through a season," Richard said. "It's a non-issue."
One of the few bright spots for the Padres on Tuesday was the pitching of reliever Thad Weber. Recalled from Triple-A Tucson on Saturday, Weber allowed two hits over 4 1/3 innings. Like he did on April 13 -- when he tossed 3 2/3 innings after a short start by Edinson Volquez -- Weber saved the bullpen.
"Obviously, I'd rather not see the early part of the game," Weber said. "That's my job, come up, eat innings. I was happy I was able to do my job. I threw a lot of good breaking balls tonight."
The Padres, down 6-2 early, got a run back in the bottom of the second on an RBI single by Will Venable.
In the fourth inning, the first two batters -- Jedd Gyorko and Nick Hundley -- reached, but the inning ended with Brewers' shortstop Jean Segura leaping to catch a liner off the bat of Everth Cabrera.
"The ball that Cabrera hit -- we got lucky," said Brewers manager Ron Roenicke. "Siggy made a nice play on it, but we got lucky. Huge double play."
In the seventh inning, the Padres loaded the bases on three consecutive two-out walks by Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo (2-1). But lefty reliever Tom Gorzelanny came in to strike out the left-handed-hitting Alonso to end the inning.

If you are using the Administration UI for Process Management and particularly the stalled operations/branches views in LiveCycle ES 8.2.1, you may notice it takes a long time to return the list of stalled items, particularly if there are many pages to be returned. In some environments a delay of up to 1 minute can be observed which would be unacceptable for a production environment where the IT team need to be able to react quickly to any stalled instances in production.
This issue has been reported mainly with Oracle databases.
The following SQL statements will add indexes to the appropriate tables in the LiveCycle database which will greatly improve the performance of these AdminUI views:
CREATE INDEX status_idx ON tb_action_instance(status);
CREATE INDEX sub_status_idx ON tb_branch_instance(sub_status);
These indexes need to be created manually in ES (8.x) and ES2 (9.x) as they cannot be applied through ServicePacks. The issue is fixed in ADEP (ES3).

text: "Berlin's Cultural Diversity Across Two Centuries" is a five-week school teacher seminar to be held in Berlin for sixteen participants to study Germany's cosmopolitan society over the past two centuries. Co-project directors Robert Shandley (Professor of German and Film Studies, Texas A & M University) and Brent Peterson (Professor of German, Lawrence University) lead an examination of the complex chronological "narrative of migration both to and within Germany" as well as "the rich multicultural heritage of contemporary Germany." Observing that "both the traditional textbook treatment of German high culture and the tourist guide highlights of Germany . . . reinforce the image of German monoculturism," and oversimplify "the long and complex history of German cultural diversity," the directors focus on Berlin and its historical incorporation of French Huguenots, Polish Catholics, Eastern European Jews, "guest workers" from Turkey and Southern and Eastern Europe, and international asylum seekers. The seminar includes texts by Adalbert von Chamisso, Rahel Varnhagen, Heinrich Heine, Amos Ören, Ermine Sevgi Özdamar, Renan Demirkan, and Wladimer Kaminer; films by Tefvik Baser (40 Square Meters of Germany) and Anno Saul (Kebab Connection); and television episodes by the ensemble "Kanak Attak" and from the series Turkish for Beginners. It also draws on the resources of the German Historical Museum (DHM), the Jewish Museum in Berlin (JMB), and the Kreuzberg Museum and incorporates site visits to the city's key neighborhoods, such as "Little Istanbul," and to nearby Potsdam. Envisioned participants are teachers of German, world history, government, and civics—with intermediate proficiency in German.

So you checked your process is running in Linux operating system and it's running find, by using ps command. But now you want to know, from how long process is running, What is start date of that process etc. Unfortunately PS command in Linux or any UNIX based operating system doesn't provide that information. But as said, UNIX has commands for everything, there is a nice UNIX tip, which you can use to check from how long a process is running. It's been a long time, I have posted any UNIX or Linux command tutorial, after sharing some UNIX productivity tips . So I thought to share this nice little tip about finding runtime of a process in UNIX based systems e.g. Linux and Solaris. In this UNIX command tutorial, we will see step by step guide to find, since when a particular process is running in a server.
Commands to find Runtime of a process in UNIX
As I said, there is no single command, which can tell us that from how long a process is running. We need to combine multiple commands, and our knowledge of UNIX based systems to find uptime of a process.
Step 1 : Find process id by using ps command e.g.
$ ps -ef | grep java
user 22031 22029 0 Jan 29 ? 24:53 java -Xms512M -Xmx512 Server
here 22031 is process id or PID. By the way if there are more than one Java process running in your server, than you might want to use a more specific grep command to find PID. Anyway, once you found PID, you can look into proc directory for that process and check creation date, that's the time when your process was started. By looking that timestamp you can easily find from how long your process is running in Linux. In order to check timestamp of any process id proc directory, you can use following ls UNIX command with option -ld as shown below :
$ ls -ld /proc/20317
dr-x--x--x 5 user group 832 Jan 22 13:09 /proc/22031
Here process with PID 22031 has been running from Jan 22, 13:09.
That's all on How to find uptime for a process in Java. Yes, it's similar to what uptime command return for a server. I really like this UNIX tips, as it's a great tool to find from how long a process is running in UNIX or Linux

A PENSNETT man caught drug dealing for a third time has been put behind bars for three years, 10 months.
When police officers armed with a warrant went to the home of Harry Edwards, aged 39, they found him in possession of three wraps of heroin.
Then, when they searched the property in Queen Street, the officers found a bag containing a further 13 wraps of the controlled drug.
They also recovered drug dealing paraphernalia including digital scales, Howard Searle, prosecuting told Wolverhampton Crown Court.
He said Edwards had been jailed in 1999 and again in 2002 for possessing class A drugs with intent to supply.
Edwards pleaded guilty to possessing heroin with intent to supply and also possessing a small amount of crack cocaine.
Judge John Warner told him he had a "bad record going back many years" for offences of dishonesty, burglary, violence, perverting the course of justice and possessing drugs.
Malcolm Fowler, defending, said Edwards, a father-of-two, had "struggled, succeeded and failed" in his bid to deal with his drug addiction.
But he maintained to the judge that he now wanted to turn his life around and stay out of further trouble with police.

Commentators have been having fun at the expense of the credit rating agencies recently, pointing out that after their downgrades markets have been upgrading various securities. It's tempting to think the same after Moody's two-notch downgrade of Italy today, with the euro up very slightly at $1.22 (although still close to a two-year low), while the 6 basis point rise in yield on Italy's 10-year bonds is hardly dramatic by recent standards.
But that is to ignore the place where the downgrade really has power: Italian inflation-linked bonds. Moody's actions will mean that Italian linkers fall out of the main Barclays index, which has stricter conditions than the main indices for nominal bonds.
Billions of euros of tracker funds will now have to sell Italian linkers, one of the biggest linker markets, eliminating a big source of demand – and showing what could happen if two of the three big rating agencies downgrade Italy to junk, knocking it out of the nominal indices. Read more

The Inside Story of the Death of Palm and webOS
The piece, which includes quotes and commentary from a number of former Palm employees and engineers, primarily focuses on the efforts of building and launching webOS and the ensuing struggle to market.
History has proven that tossing out a familiar platform that prints money for your business and starting anew isn't easy: just ask Apple and Microsoft, whose next-generation desktop operating systems in the 1990s (codenamed "Copland" and "Cairo," respectively) floundered aimlessly for years before being replaced with other initiatives. The politics of a mobile platform are no different. The entire process can quickly devolve into a holy war, it turns out, never mind the risk of alienating your users and third-party developers the very people by whom any platform is ultimately made or broken.

"We will give Endeavour a grand L.A. welcome home," Science Center President and CEO Jeffrey Rudolph said of the orbiter that was built in Palmdale. "To see it in the air, the last and only chance to do that will be Friday morning. It's truly a historic occasion."
The Endeavour, which reached Ellington Field in Houston on Wednesday morning, is expected to begin the next leg of its trip this morning and end up at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base. It's expected to leave Edwards on Friday and do low-level flyovers in Sacramento and San Francisco before heading to Los Angeles.
Science Center officials released more details Wednesday morning about flyovers planned around Southern California before the shuttle's final landing. The massive orbiter - which stands 57 feet tall on the runway and has a 78-foot wingspan - is expected to enter L.A. airspace about 10:30 a.m. Friday or shortly thereafter.
Endeavour is expected to pass over its new home - the California Science Center - along with Disneyland, Los Angeles City Hall, and the Aquarium of the Pacific and the Queen Mary in Long Beach, at about 1,500 feet, officials said.
Other viewing spots include the Griffith Observatory, Malibu, Universal Studios, and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Canada Flintridge. | » Final flight excites L.A. fans
Officials declined to disclose the orbiter's exact route or offer a more detailed timetable, citing safety concerns. But those standing outside landmarks along the planned flight path "will have incredible views," Rudolph said.
"Where you are in L.A. will probably determine (to be) the best places without driving all over town," he added.
With Wednesday's announcement about low-level flyover locations came a warning message for motorists, who were asked not to stop and pull over on freeways and surface streets to get a look at the orbiter in flight aboard the 747 carrier.
Science Center and law enforcement officials urged people instead to plan ahead and settle on an appropriate viewing position - outside the airport. "I want to emphasize that LAX is not one of those," said Michael Feldman, deputy executive director of facilities management for Los Angeles World Airports.
"We are trying to get the word out ... this is the time to be vigilant," said Cmdr. Scott Kroeber of the Los Angeles Police Department. "If you're driving, please drive and don't try to take in the show simultaneously."
The LAPD is expecting people to follow the directives but will nonetheless "be out in numbers" to monitor activity on the ground, Kroeber said. Also, the California Highway Patrol will have additional units positioned along the San Diego (405) Freeway corridor to prevent drivers from veering onto the shoulder, CHP Assistant Chief Calvin Aubrey said.
The simple message for drivers, he added: "Look forward."
But all is not lost for those who can't get out of their cars or make it to one of the landmarks along the shuttle's route Friday morning.
Officials also revealed that they expect the Endeavour to stay outside at LAX over the weekend as the orbiter is lifted off its aircraft carrier by a crane and placed onto a transporter that next month will carry it to the Science Center.
"It will be outside for a couple of days" until it moves into a United Airlines hangar, LAWA's Feldman said. The shuttle is expected to stay inside that hangar, undergoing preparations for its journey from LAX to Exposition Park, until the early morning hours of Oct. 12.
For those wanting to see the orbiter touch down, El Segundo offers views of the airport's south airfield from Imperial Avenue, the frontage road to Imperial Highway. City police plan to close parts of the street Friday in anticipation of crowds, and have arranged to open two parking lots at the former Imperial Avenue school site.
Shuttles will carry spectators from El Segundo City Hall at 350 Main St. to Sheldon and Imperial avenues, starting at 10 a.m. until 30 minutes after the Endeavour's landing.
Those who spot the shuttle during its journey to LAX are asked to share their sightings on Twitter using the hashtags #spottheshuttle and #OV105, Endeavour's orbiter vehicle designation.

A VIOLIN that lay forgotten in an Alvechurch attic for more than 60 years has a new lease of life in the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO), and helped a charity in the process.
The instrument, made in Germany in the 1860s, belonged to retired vicar Donald Wrapson's grandfather.
Mr Wrapson explained that when he was a boy his grandad used to play at parties. But after he died in the 1950s, the instrument sat in an attic because no one in the family could play.
The 77-year-old discovered that his neighbour Bryon Parish, 42, a first violinist with the CBSO was doing a charity run for the Bowel and Cancer Research charity.
The Glebe Road resident asked if he could donate his grandad's violin. After being valued and renovated it was sold to Byron's fellow violinist at the CBSO, Jane Wright - raising £370 for the charity.
"It's a lovely story," said Mr Wrapson.
"My biggest hope was that it could be played again in a big orchestra. It's absolutely the right thing to happen. The quality of sound is wonderful and I'm thrilled to pieces – it's singing after such a long silence."
Mr Wrapson was a hospital chaplin before retirement. He said: "I came across the tremendous extremities of ill health.
"Last year I was visiting a man in hospital who was diagnosed with bowel cancer so everything seemed to fit a pattern. It's a beautiful resurrection story and I'm so pleased it's worked out."
Byron ran the London and New York marathons, the Great North Run and the Birmingham Half Marathon in 2013, to raise money for the charity and Myeloma UK.
He said: "When the violin came out of the attic, it didn't have any strings so we didn't know what to expect.
"But when I got to play it for the first time it was lovely – it has a beautiful mature sound.
"I raised more than £5,000 for charity. Don's violin was a very generous bonus."
Chief Executive for Bowel and Cancer Research, Deborah Gilbert, thanked Mr Wrapson, Byron and Jane Wright for their support.
She said: "Our research into the causes of bowel disease is relentless and we very much value the efforts of people like Mr Wrapson and Byron on our behalf."
Anyone who wants to sponsor Byron can do so at virginmoneygiving.com/ByronParish and bowelcancerresearch.org.

text: Back to list Thursday, May 08, 2014 - 15:24 PM Cymbalissimo at the Conservatory Vienna Cymbalissimo is the name of an event which was held at the Conservatory in Vienna, Austria two days ago on May 06. Symphonic cymbals and their sounds, playing techniques, and fields of applications were the center of attention. High-profile lecturers from some of the world's best orchestras hosted symphonic cymbal workshops followed by percussion students. Faculty members included Joerg Hannabach (Munich Philharmonic Orchstra), Benjamin Schmidinger (Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra), Johann Krasser (Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra), Florian Alexandru-Zorn (Educator, Author), and many more. I attended Cymbalissimo and looked after our symphonic cymbal exhibition, took part in the various discussions which were going on there among the students and lecturers, and took the chance to learn so much about this field of cymbal sounds and playing. I want to thank everyone who showed interest in our symphonic cymbals. A special thanks goes out to Prof. Nebojsa Jovan Zivkovic who put the whole event together. Cymbalissimo has been an outstanding event which to my knowledge does not exist anywhere else in the world so far. From what I understand, there will be another similar event next year covering other areas of classical and symphonic percussion. Stay tuned for that.- Norbert Saemann

Genius! An Air Dryer That Disappears So Quickly, It Makes James Bond Jealous!
LOFTi is the perfect drying rack. When you don't need it, you pull the cord and it hides!
-PJ Gach
Washing your unmentionables, sweaters and other hand-wash items can be a drag. You've got to drag out drip dryers, set them up and realize that the space they're occupying is a "no-fly zone" for hours. If you live in a small apartment, home or don't have the luxury of a huge laundry room, you'll find yourself doing the "drying rack tango" every time you walk around it.
The New Clothesline Company has come up with a brilliant device! LOFTi ($79.99, thenewclotheslinecompany.com) is a space saver of a drip dryer that virtually takes up little to no room! How? You install it onto the ceiling, use the pulley system to raise and lower LOFTi to place clothing on it and keeping them up in the air while they dry! Mission Impossible's Ethan Hunt would be impressed, and James Bond would turn it into a secret weapon!
Have a lot of socks, tights or bras that need to air-dryed? Use Duo ($19.99, thenewclotheslinecompany.com) and clip it on to the dryer or use it on its own to dry undies, bras and more. It breaks down into two easy pieces for storage.
Read How to Save Money Doing Laundry
Watch the video and see how easy it is to install.
How to Install Your LOFTi from Carol Bildahl on Vimeo.
Isn't it nice to know you won't have to dance with your drip dryer every time you wash your bras!

Pictures of the steel drum unwrapping process.
You don't often see a round shipping package.
This package, containing the stand, was very beat up. It even had parts of the stand sticking out :). All the packages had a ton of stickers.
Here it is: the first time the steel drum was set up (in our living room). Now it is resting at normal height in the... um, 'fancy room.'

I've been trying to track down what the black hat seo people are doing to sell these so called "white hat high PR links" and came up with this document. What is interesting is if you see how the anchor text ranks in Google for some of the spammed sites you will see the sites are no where to be found. The result is this ends up being negative SEO campaign that an unsuspecting person actually paid to have done to their site!
I hope that more and more this kind of junk is going to go away. Meanwhile, I do strive to educate people about SEO. Building a site people live should be goal #1 always.
Yes, but it is sometimes very hard to get quality backlinks anyway. It is not weird people are looking for help in that way. It is not weird company do that to get any backlinks either...
In fact, it is extremely easy.If your site offers truly helpful and unique information, people will spread the word very quickly.If your site gets few links, or none at all, it has clearly a lack of quality.
You have a point benbob, the site with quality content requires less time to get popular on the web, because of the recommendations and link backs from various blogs or forums visitor visit the site and those who find the site useful are the ones who will spread it further and get sticked to it.But, it is not all about content on the websites, the main reason is getting the quality backlinks, it has become difficult after penguin to find followed blogs to comment and obtain backlinks on, also if one can find them, it is not easy to convince the blog owner to give followed link through the comment section
Blogs are not there for you to create backlinks. Ideally, webmasters should not be able to create backlinks themselves, but that is impossible to achieve.The value for searchers of links, is the fact that they are "recommendations" by satisfied users. Creating your own backlinks is, although accepted, essentially blackhat because it is artificial promotion of a site.It is exactly because links have been so widely abused, that Google have drastically reduced their importance in favour of real recommendations like social media.
Maybe so but it is has taken me many years to create sites that people love. Everyone is looking for fast money, and they have about as good a chance of achieving it as winning the lottery. It takes a very slow plan implemented over a period of time, but works almost every time.
People do stuffs like that because it's way easier. It's really tiring to write unique contents for various directory sites. So people spam on a lot of blogs using the same contents or auto-spun contents. I think most people use web 2.0 sites to spam their contents on. Others use private blog networks. But all of that are in the past now. People are cautious and are doing SEO stuffs according the the recent update.
Yes, the reality is that it will go away to a large extent, although probably not completely. Google is getting much better at killing off spam, and once people realise it doesn't work they will be much less willing to pay for it! That said, 'a fool and his money will soon be parted' - there will always be people who fall for snake oil salesmen offering instant results.
many are using other names even we don't do it. So the users are thinking that we are the one's doing that but actually the blackhatters. sad to say negative seo is in large.
I saw an article about these tactics on SEOmoz once and long story short...
If a site owner stay consistent with what they are doing, nothing negative will happen long term to someone's site from malicious activities of these black hatters.
There may be some temporary affects, but it all works out if you have a quality site and maintain your course.
nice thread, actually i am also in trouble of getting quality backlinks. what i am doing is to dig from google some blogs and forums where i can get quality backlinks. then i do also directory listing, the manual one.
SEO backlinking/linkbuilding is quite difficult task in this era of time.
Those backlinks are not helping because they are coming from spammed sites.The key factor for building high quality backlinks through blog comments is the number of OUTBOUND LINKS of the respective pages.Links which are pointing to some other domain from a site, is called as outbound links.Also Link Juice is very important aspect taken into consideration by Google for ranking a website. A great explication of linkjuice is : http://thekeywordacademy.com/link-juice-explainedSo if you build backlinks on high pagerank pages with low outbound links you will receive more linkjuice rathen then backlinks that are created on pages with high outbound links.Hope my explanation helps It`s my first post here , and indeed people must be educated about what seo is.<snip>

Croak by Gina Damico
Although not a traditional mystery, this book contains many elements of a classic mystery story. Lex used to be a model daughter, sister and student; however, a few years ago, she became angry and lashed out at others. Her parents do not know how to help her, so they send Lex to spend the summer with her uncle. Once she arrives at her uncle's home, she discovers that her uncle is a reaper who guides souls into the afterlife and that she herself is a reaper.
Lex excels in her new duties and begins to make friends. When it appears that a reaper might be taking lives rather than just guiding souls, others suspect Lex as most of the deaths occurred after Lex arrived. Lex starts her own investigation to clear her name.
There is mystery, supernatural and a light romance in this story. Lex is a strong character who can rescue herself. The supporting characters each have unique characteristics that made them interesting to read about.

ADAM LYTH has attributed some of his stunning early-season form to hours spent on the putting green with Yorkshire's sports psychologist.
The White Rose opening batsman is the country's leading first-class run-scorer with 784 runs from eight matches, including three hundreds - one of which was a brilliant 230 in this week's LV= County Championship win over Northamptonshire at Wantage Road.
Lyth has always been one of county cricket's most eye-catching stroke-makers, and in 2010 was the first man to score 1,000 runs in the season, a feat he could repeat this term. But consistency has often been a problem for him.
He has since only passed 750 first-class runs in a season twice, excluding this, and of the 47 times he has notched 50 in first-class cricket, he has only converted ten of them into centuries.
This season, however, there seems to be an extra determination from the 26-year-old to pile on the runs, stemming from an unusual source.
"Simon Hartley is our sports psychologist, and he's done wonders with quite a few of us in terms of concentration," said Lyth.
"He took me to the putting green at Wyke Golf Club, where we are members. He just told me to keep knocking in two foot putts and try not to miss.
"He said that professionals only get to 50 or 100 before they miss, but I got 213 on the run. You shouldn't really miss should you, so it's all about concentration. It took me about an hour and half.
"It just shows that I wasn't concentrating on my 214th one because I missed it. After cricket, maybe I'll go into golf."
Spending more than 50 balls in the nineties at Northampton earlier this week was a prime example of Lyth's increased determination to make the most of his ability.
In the past you may have seen him smack a glorious looking drive head high to cover and get out for 95.
Skipper Andrew Gale said as much after watching Lyth reach his second career double earlier this week.
"I've said to Adam all along that of all the Yorkshire lads that have been playing for England recently - Root, Bairstow, Ballance - he is the one with the most ability,' he said.
"He has probably not been as consistent as he would have liked to be over the last three or four years since coming into the team.
"He's lacked discipline in his innings at times, gone through the gears too quickly, but he has worked hard on that throughout the winter and has matured a lot."
And Lyth added: "It's about not being complacent really and taking each innings as it comes. I can't take my good form for granted. That's something that I've learned over the last few years.
"I'm a year older and I'm a bit more experienced. I think I know my game now a bit more than I probably did a couple of years ago.
"I'd also like to say I know where my off-stump is, so I'm leaving the ball well, which is a good sign."
Yorkshire are in NatWest T20 Blast action against Lancashire at Emirates Old Trafford tomorrow (6.30pm). Andrew Flintoff steps up his bid to play for Lancashire with a second XI appearance today.

NETHERTON Athletic are celebrating after cup success last weekend.
The Kidderminster and District League outfit saw off the challenge of Kings Heath Old Boys to lift the Saturday Junior Cup.
Kings Heath, who were looking to avoid a repeat of their defeat at this stage season, had the first opportunity of the game when Lee Davies sent the ball in from the left which Craig Spink rose to meet well. He was penalised, however, for a push on Karl Wilson and Netherton were awarded a free-kick.
Netherton had their first sight at goal in the seventh minute after they were awarded a corner. Kieran Snead sent over the set-piece which was headed clear by Kings Heath, but only as far as Ben Store whose return ball was headed narrowly wide by Paul Harris.
However, just seven minutes later, Netherton took the lead. They were awarded a free kick five yards outside the box to the right-hand side. Anthony Cox played in a low ball which evaded everyone and nestled in the far right corner of the net.
Kings Heath looked to reply straight away. James Pugh did well to win a corner, which he then took, but Rob Dalloway in the Netherton goal did really well to punch the ball clear.
A few moments later, Netherton were grateful to Paul Harris for preserving their lead as he threw himself in front of a shot from Spink which seemed destined for the net.
Kings Heath had another opportunity just before the break, Simon Thorne went on a mazy run from the middle of the park, but his shot went wide of the post.
The second half continued pretty much as the first half had ended, with Kings Heath pressing for an equaliser. Tom Windsor-Price was first to try his luck from the edge of the box after a neat pass from Matthew Draper, but he could only fire wide.
Next, Draper played a wonderful long ball to Pugh, who did well to turn his marker and make room for a shot, but it was well smothered by Dalloway.
Netherton doubled their advantage when Keiron Snead played a through ball to Niki Faux, who showed excellent strength to hold off the defender before rounding the keeper and stroking the ball into the empty net.
Kings Heath barely had time to touch the ball before they found themselves 3-0 down. This time, Cox sent over an excellent corner which was powered into the back of the net by the head of Danny Smith.
Luck was not on the side of Kings Heath, as Pugh saw his excellent volley hit the crossbar and bounce clear, before Spink again fired over the crossbar.
Kings Heath were having all of play and gave themselves a glimmer of hope in the 70th minute as Draper, who was having a fine game, curled a wonderful free kick into the net from 30 yards out.
They continued to press, but frustratingly for their supporters, shots were sent high, wide or they found Dalloway in fine form.
Netherton quashed any hopes of a comeback on the 80th minute as a good cross from substitute Liam Morris found Captain David Gennard, who rose superbly to head the ball over Ellard and into the back of the net, condemning Kings Heath to their second successive 4-1 final defeat.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
You might have heard of Red Gate's famous SQL in the City events: free, full-day educational events where you can learn from Red Gate's own evangelists in addition to various MVPs and other guests. With just a tiny bit of marketing thrown in for good measure (don't worry, it's not a daylong sales pitch).
Red Gate is doing a US tour this fall, and I'm happy to note that my fair city of Boston is one of the stops... and I am one of the speakers.
The event takes place on October 8. I'll be delivering a talk entitled "The Ten Commandments of SQL Server Monitoring."
I've not yet received all ten commandments, but my tablets are initialized and my stylus is at the ready. I'm sure I'll have some good information to share with you come October.
Hope to see you there!

Nice :)
I thought there were 15 commandments but one of your tablets crashed! :-P.
One of the commandments is to make sure to not anger the CEO.

River Assault
Heroic CO
I've never played River Assault attacking over the dam. Apparently that approach, as well as completing the mission overall, have achieved mythical status.
Myths Busted!
The plan was simple; we'd taxi to the dam, leave MMG on overwatch with the mortar to hit any bunkers, and have A/B/C advance over the dam in sequence. Things went poorly as bunkers on the far side of the river destroyed the M113 and disabled the BTR before we could get to the RV position. We lost two people, I think? After getting bored of waiting for people to get their stuff together I lead the charge (followed by Harakka's Alpha) on the positions on our side of the dam. We took no casualties.
The next fifteen or so minutes were an agonizingly slow crawl across the dam, with a friendly fireteam catching up to me only for the last few meters. Between the crack shots made by the MMG/MTR section and some careful sniping from roofs we managed to clear the far side. Things got hairy again when enemy armour turned up, but someone managed a beaut of an RPG shot that decrewed it. I think we lost another guy in a firefight with the troops that bailed from it.
We had a number of minor injuries securing our beach head, but then pushed into the target village as planned. I personally destroyed the artillery guns. Having completed our primary objective with minimal casualties we then pressed on to the optional one. My plan was "charge" and the FTLs filled in the rest. IceRaiser finally got ahead of me but eventually had his PC crash. I finally bought the farm just outside the objective.
The remaining fireteams managed to clear out the last few stragglers and blow up all three parked enemy M113s.
MEDALS FOR EVERYONE! (Quadruple for me, plus a purple heart)
Defender Alpha FTL
The randomised layout was reasonably favourable; we knew the enemy pretty much had to hit C and D and would probably also try to take A and B as they were far away from us. CO had me positional alpha to cover C and then move up to get eyes on B. Opfor blew A, and I got sniped just moments before I would have been hidden in a bush overlooking B.
Sadly the evil Opfor Menace managed to draw our defences from D and destroy that as well as A and B, earning them the win.
Reinf AAR for Charlie
I crashed out after the first few engagements. I got some good shots in and our FTL was doing well.
2Plt Delta FTL
We shared a mumble channel with Charlie, which got used a little less than I had hoped, but we were always within arms reach of each other. It went pretty well, don't have much to say about it.
Should be fun to play it with 60-80 on Sunday!
Hunter Hunted
Local Alpha Grenadier
Another test mission, I didn't see anything. Well, I saw one guy once, but didn't get a positive ID before he escaped. Mission called due to bugs/crashed choppers.
As CO in River Assault I felt a bit disconnected; people weren't responding to me in a timely fashion which is why I was in the front getting all the kills myself (I only needed a medic three times!). I think it might be an idea for the CO to shout to all players, with FTLs doing the responses on (c)ommand (c)ircuit as usual.
Some people disagree, but I felt a mumble room for eight is about right, whilst four is a bit too few even if it masks the worst parts of VON.
We seemed to be slowly pulling the overwatch thing together. I saw it used in River Assault, Cratesistance (not that it did me any good :) ) and Zargabaddies. A bit more practice and we'll be able to crack the toughest of nuts.

River Assault
Heroic Bravo FTL
After getting our stuff together and some screaming at the BTR driver we manged to arrive to the point outside the first enemy postion as we dismounted we took heavy fire and i ordered my sqaud to stay put in a small ditch expect my AR who i ordered to engage the enemy. After some regrouping i manged to drag my squadmembers down into the first point where we set up to cross the dam tho i slowed down due to wanting to spread out my ftl member over the bridge while leaving the AR to supress the enemy on the far side, of-course i kinda broke my own spacing rules and a grenade wounded 2 of us., after a while we manged to get over the help the CO secure the area once it was secure alpha was sent over and that's when i heard the bumming of a BMP-2 quickly enough i seized a RPG from a fallen enemy and proceed to strike a nice rear hit.. then we killed a bunch of contacts and completed the mission weee.
Great work guys.
After boldly going for the A cache and a minor screw up with a satchel we fell back towards CO to go for the D cache after it came apparent that we enemy near the Alpha FT we were ordered to proceeded to C instead. Where we killed a few AI(?) and i rushed in to plant the satchel while under fire,after getting my team to a safe distance i detonated the bomb,then we won
River Assault
CO: Nullkigan
- Alpha fireteam
- FTL: harakka
- Qazi
- Genesis
- Bravo (BTR-60), Charlie, MMG (Mortar) fireteams
The feeling of safety ended as we dismounted and both vehicles, parked on the ridge to provide fire support, took heavy fire from the static defences on the dam and were disabled (and in the case of the M113, blown up). Once MMG was in place the elements started advancing to the buildings on the dam's west side, first CO in a mad dash, followed by Alpha and the rest.
Unfortunately Qazi was lost along the way. The defenders were already pretty dead once we arrived, so Alpha took up positions in the building to provide overwatch for the troops to cross the dam.
The crossing was challenging but eventually successful with valuable assistance from MMG's mortar. Luckily for us the BMP wheeling about on the eastern side just drove by without doing much, and Martin Konopnik was nowhere to be seen.
Once everyone was on the other side of the dam we started pushing for the artillery base, taking out the BMP and its infantry contents on the way. Alpha managed to avoid most of the action, with just a few stragglers between us and the base.
The artillery base was relatively calm when we arrived, and the guns were promptly blown up. This would already have been a great victory, but we decided to top it off by destroying the vehicles at another enemy base nearby. Once again the trip was pretty calm for Alpha, and once we arrived after checking out some suspicious buildings nearby, the depot was already secured by MMG team.
CO Nullkigan decided to celebrate this by finally succumbing to enemy bullets, this being maybe the fourth time during the mission he got shot. I promptly took command, ordered destruction of the remaining vehicles and basked in the glory of my successful command as we declared the mission a victory.
Here's a video of the mission from my viewpoint, with the most boring bits cut out.
CDF CO: Unaco
- Bravo
- FTL: Washington
- harakka (attached medic)
- Alpha, Charlie fireteams
This proved to work pretty well, even though one of the explosions was mistimed. Alpha and Bravo (to which I was attached as medic) took care of the two initial caches and Charlie was sent off to gank the cache farthest away from the initial two. Bravo was sent to the nearest cache as safeguard, taking out an enemy scout along the way.
By the time we arrived in the cache's vicinity however, Charlie was already engaging their southernmost cache's defenders and from what I heard on the radio, managed to set up the bomb after an intense but brief firefight and secure CDF victory.
Even though my team didn't see a lot of action, it was very entertaining to witness Unaco's planning mind games. And, as always, it's nice to run around in the foggy forests. That's what I made the mission for after all!
This was a fairly by-the-numbers job, with CO Egg setting up an initial plan of fireteams advancing in a line through the valley. It worked. Also, IceRaiser has some kind of strange fixation with goats.
Zargabaddies SE
This was a test for the upcoming Folk/ARPS, CiA & LDDK joint event, with us doing a runthrough of the initial part of the mission. We were reasonably successful, taking little losses until getting to the dry riverbed. Stuff seemed to work and Fer didn't want to show all his cards, so the mission was called. I doubt we could have made it much further alive anyway...
Hunter Hunted
CDF CO: Fer
- Alpha: FTL harakka, Nullkigan, MixMasterZero
- Bravo, Charlie fireteams
This was the first test run of a new adversarial mission by Wolfenswan. The idea is pretty interesting: a small team of Spetsnaz have to take out a CDF major passing through an area that is patrolled by both human and AI CDF soldiers, and exfiltrate via a human-piloted chopper. The area is also littered with movement-triggered ground flares that give away the Spetsnaz' position. It is however night, and only the Spetsnaz have nightvision equipment.
Due to pitch black night and very low visibility range the Spetsnaz could have been right next to us without us knowing it, and my teammate Nullkigan suspected that to be the case at least once. Fer wanted Alpha to get eyes on the road the major was travelling on but we were a bit late, and the Spetsnaz successfully took out the major. A flare was tripped about 300m from Alpha's position but we didn't manage to catch the guys who did it.
Fer arranged us to cordon the most likely landing position and then move to the next one when the helicopter sound was heard nearby. However the Spetsnaz sort of failed to exfiltrate: in difficult flying conditions the ace pilot IceRaiser attempted a landing that was beyond even his skill, and broke the chopper. The assassins had however split up, and some had already managed to leg it outside the CDF-patrolled area, disappearing into the night.
A very interesting and moody mission, and Wolfenswan has already incorporated input from the playtest into the next version. Hopefully we can play it soon.
Other stuff
I felt the CC Mumble setup worked nicely in River Assault, though there's probably a lot to improve on the actual comms procedure. I'm very willing to use CC again, though it does involve a slight setup hassle which may be a barrier for people. I wish Mumble had a shortcut for toggling the CC tag..

[AAR] Tue 10 January 2012: We All Died
- Halted
- Cocktails
- Force Ten
- Cordon Bleu
- Surgical Spirits
I hate you all and I think it showed. Tonight featured truly extraordinary amounts of death. Plenty of new and returning faces made sure we had lots of bodies to build a fort out of. Sadly nobody was left to BUILD said fort.
Halted went well. Armed with Lee Enfields (and one AK-47 per squad), we had to engage superior numbers of better equipped forces, then escape after causing a certain number of casualties. We all died.
Cocktails saw two teams of players duke it out. Usually it's one sided, but the defenders won with two survivors, even though it was ~12:9! I myself put bullets in at least three people (only got one kill, sadly) before being executed by Comrade Traitor Wolfenswan.
Force Ten was a bit of a cluster. I'll work on optimising the mission for multiplayer more. After a few false starts we did get an older version running... only for it to turn out to be night. We all died. Repeatedly. As the creator of this mission, I was satisfied.
Cordon Bleu is another hard one. Unusually we managed to break through. Sole survivor Head lives to tell the tale of glorious victory. Until I send the commissars round.
Surgical Spirits would have been a victory if not for scripting errors. We went into it knowing it'd be a test though, and would have otherwise won.
Again, thank you to everyone who turned up and apologies for the mess during Force Ten. See you next week for more death (or maybe victory, we'll see).

Force 10 was epic, once we actually got everyone in and got playing. I'm not going to write a post on it, but I'll share these screenshots... I killed the Commander and got the Golden Gun again! And then got shot.
Also, apologies to Harlander. Didn't notice I killed you until someone pointed it out from that screenshot.

Time to write an AAR and pretend I was useful!
My experience of this mission consisted of not being entirely sure if I was following my squad at any time, watching what I assumed was my FTL die, then hiding in a building until I looked out of a window and failed to shoot the enemy looking at me through it. That was ok though, because everyone else experienced much the same, I think.
The mission began with someone nearby to me throwing a grenade at their own feet, requiring the attention of the medic and delaying our exciting drive in the Lada. My squad had already driven off (see: Halted and my incompetence at following FTLs) so I waited until the unfortunate grenade lobber had been healed, then hopped into the back of the nearest Lada, driven by a different FTL (I think). After an uneventful drive, we arrived at the drop off, got out, and I finally met up with Alpha: the suicide charge squad. As soon as the attack order was given, we raced up the hill to the mansion. My FTL told me to lob a grenade over the wall, so I proceeded to bounce one off the wall instead. Then the FTL was injured (I think it was wolfenswan...) so I stood guard, not realising that I could actually perform first aid for a good five minutes, while the rest of the team attacked the mansion and died. After finally reviving the FTL, we sneaked round the gate to revive another squadmate, followed by a swift jog up the hill to the other gate. Up there by a tree we found another injured team mate so the FTL went to revive him. I covered the gate, noticed movement, shot wildly, but the movement shot back and I was incapacitated.
Force Ten
Once I finally got into the mission, I found myself around 500m from the rest of the team and armed with a M249. "Excellent", I thought, "This'll be like playing support in BF3". How wrong I was. I caught up with my squad, but still failed miserably to actually follow my FTL (which was nullkigan, I think). [NB: I know that the spacebar will identify people, but I had completely forgotten at the time] We advanced down the road, sort of, taking fire from both sides. I failed to find anything to shoot. Then nullkigan accidentally gave me command of the squad so I did the only sensible thing and ran about like a headless chicken until I found a building to hide in. I watched a couple of squadmates die or become incapacitated, and resolved to go out and kill something, or at least make it out of the building. So I rushed across the road to a cafe or something with a glass lower floor. I looked at my map and noticed an enemy marked. Putting the map away, I looked up, saw the enemy, tried to shoot him through the glass, and got knocked out. Ten minutes later (maybe, I lost track of time) I noticed that I happened to be in the house where all the other knocked out guys were being dragged. I was saved! Miraculously I was revived, and went outside to see if there was anything to shoot. Unfortunately, there wasn't, until I noticed something in the distance, fired a few bursts at it, then got knocked out by something else.
Overall it was great fun, but I really need to work on actually being part of my squad...
Panic, gunfire and death. Exactly what I like to see.
You can't actually spacebar scan with the current server settings (which makes rangefinders useful again), but as a couple of people have mentioned trouble with identifying squadmates I'll look into it some more tomorrow.
STHud alleviates things (see the mods thread), and on a number of missions you should see a flag on the map screen telling you where each squad leader is, but neither one is newbie friendly.

Yeah, I used the map on a few occasions when I was completely lost, but it's a bit dangerous in a lot of situations. I'll look into STHud.

I think there is an option in the "difficulty" settings that switches on the labels on friendlies. It's probably forced off by the server. I think turning that on, along with some other "newbie-friendly" options would help in knowing where you are and if you're shooting in the right direction :D
I know it detracts from realism, but I would like to suggest that at least in the first couple of missions we play with these options (friendly tags, extended HUD info, etc) on so we the noobs at least have a clue of what's going on and who we're killing :D
suggested mods. Especially the sthud. Otherwise I'd recommend against toning down the difficulty as it'll just get you used to arbitrary helpers that you won't have any more sooner or later. It's normal to be confused as fuck at the beginning and hardly shooting a bullet (and if so, hitting friendlies). Just roll with it and after a few sessions you'll improve.Play ArmA with us. (Competence not required.)
It's okay to not like things.
I can confirm that. After playing with ARPS for a while, my shooting skills went from beyond terrible to "Know-who-to-shoot".
The unofficial RPS Rising Storm group!
Another classic evening involving lots of painful deaths. I took the liberty of FRAPS'ing our attempt at Force Ten, a mission which is rapidly becoming my favourite on the server despite, (or probably because of) the overwhelming odds stacked against us and the prospects of almost certain death:
Also on the topic of not having friendly labels, I agree that while it is somewhat confusing at first you DO get used to it surprisingly quickly; this is coming from someone who's spent many years playing MP with pretty much all the helpers on.
In the interests of accessibility I have re-enabled HUD=1 for the server default difficulty setting. This does bring back that horrible crutch called spacebar scanning, but makes things easier on the new guys.
E: Roods, check out the guide to using mumble. You'll get half your screen back if you fine-tune the overlay a little ;)

What's that "spacebar scanning" thing??

Pf this makes me wish I had more time to play on Tuesdays or during the week...
Spacebar scanning is pushing the spacebar and then that sort of circular reticle appears which you can hover over humans or vehicles and it tells you their class or model but more importantly if it is friendly or not.
Or you can do like me and shoot first, and then when you find out it was a TK, pretend you don't know who did it...
Pressing spacebar gives a reading of the distance of the point you're pointing at - it'll also display the names of any units pointed at, even (I think) if they're hidden.
The more important feature of HUD=1, for new people, is the squad leader indicator on HUD. This should help in knowing who to follow and where to be. Remember this only applies to missions played on the default difficulty level on the server, playing on veteran/expert will still have most of the helpful things disabled.
Also keep in mind that space scanning will only reveal information on units your unit / squad has spotted and knows something about: scanning a distant unit, friend or enemy, may give no indication of anyone being there at all until you whip out the scope / binocs. Though especially on Chernarus you may be able to spot things with space scanning before you actually have a visual, thanks to the game not taking all the foliage into account.

Danielle looked at me and said, "Isn't that bad karma?" We just cracked up.... Yup, I would think so. But Steph assured me, it would be funny. No worries......
Here is what she wrote:
"Hiya Prudence!
Here's a couple pics of your cake from Tom's 40th. We didn't have any trouble with the fondant getting too hot or too cold, thankfully. It held up wonderfully and we ate on it for a couple days after the party too! The cake was a big hit! More than one person commented on the possible bad karma :) but Tom got a kick out of it! We flew home safe and sound yesterday, despite all the weather. Thanks again for making his birthday special! Sending you my absolute best! -Steph"
Happy Birthday Tom!!

MARIEMONT, Ohio - A teacher in Mariemont, Ohio is suing her school district, claiming discrimination., Maria Waltherr-Willard, suffers from pedophobia, a crippling fear of young children. She claims her disability led to the discrimination.Cincinnati.com reported the woman, who taught high school for years, was reassigned to teach in a junior high in 2010, despite, she claims, being assured earlier in her career that she would not have to teach younger children. When the district denied her request to transfer back to the high school for the 2010-2011 academic year, Waltherr-Willard was forced into early retirement at the age of 59, the suit claims. A federal judge has dismissed three of Walterr-Willard's claims in the suit, arguing that the district violated an implied contract to keep her away from young students. The three remaining discrimination claims are awaiting district response, and a tentative trial date is set for February 2014. Walterr-Willard seeks past and future pay, compensatory damages, punitive damages and attorneys' fees.
About Pedophobia
According to Pedophobia.com people who are diagnosed with this condition are termed Pedophobic. Persons suffering from this condition will fall into two main categories. There are Parents and Adults who have obsessive qualities and keep their children under routine and keen surveillance. These people want to keep an eye of their children and usually take extreme measures to do so; one such example is by following them and spending the day with them at school. There is another category of persons who literally have an irrational fear of children and have a fear of being in the presence of children. this category of persons shudder at the thought of being in the presence of children. A person who suffers from Pedophobia doesn't only have a fear of children but anything that represents children (e.g. dolls). Any object that is capable of making the person devise a direct relational link to children may become an object that is feared by persons suffering from Pedophobia. Persons who have this condition sometimes may have had bad experiences with children in their past, while in others their fear has no substantive basis and no logical connection to any past experience. This fear is said to be irrational but no less legitimate.
Symptoms of Pedophobia
Symptoms of Pedophobia consist of being scared, feeling anxious, feelings of dread of the thought of being in the presence of children and taking acute measures to avoid being or occupied in the midst of children.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/2/2013 (1660 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
They waited just about as long as possible but 16 seconds short of a full 65 minutes of hockey, Bryan Little pulled the Jets off the skids.
Little connected at 4:44 of overtime on what was generally a sloppy power play, lifting the Winnipeg Jets to a 3-2 decision over the Florida Panthers Tuesday night at the MTS Centre.
The victory stopped a three-game losing slide that was at times demoralizing last week on the road.
Winnipeg, now 4-4-1 on the season and 3-1-0 at home, was 4-1 last season in the next game after a three-game losing streak.
First period
❚ The home side looked to be still reeling from their road trip. They generated just three shots — though they came close to scoring when Paul Postma's shot hit the post and Bryan Little's went off the crossbar — and eventually gave up the first goal of the game when rookie Jonathan Huberdeau pumped in a Drew Shore rebound at 18:12.
"We were very tentative in the first period," Jets coach Claude Noel said. "It looked like the puck was a grenade.
"I saw a lot of nervousness, saw a lot of plays that were uncharacteristic. We looked like we'd never been together."
Second period
❚ It wasn't a flashy play but Blake Wheeler brought some life to the home team, and the faithful at the MTS Centre, when he just wound up and fired from the right wing. The puck clearly knuckled after clipping a Florida stick, but it wound up in the back of the net for Wheeler's fourth of the season.
The lasted 1:24 as Tomas Fleischmann's long, seeing-eye wrister went past Ondrej Pavelec. The Jets pulled even again with Mark Stuart's first of the season at 12:21, a point shot through a screen.
Third period
❚ Nerves aplenty for the Jets in the 2-2 affair. Each side had a shot at a power play and failed. Stopping Florida's chance, Winnipeg ended the night two for two on the penalty kill.
"I liked the penalty killing, liked the fact we only gave them two power plays and I liked our aggressiveness," Noel said. "We managed that part of the game a lot better.
❚ A Jets power play came when Filip Kuba was caught tripping Evander Kane. The Jets had a couple of early shots at it, then bumbled much of the time away. With six seconds left in the advantage and time winding down, Zach Redmond found Bryan Little in open ice crossing the Florida blueline and Little buried a high shot over Panthers goalie Scott Clemmensen to end it.
"If I was in the stands, I probably would have been booing, too," Little said of the late power play. "Four on three, it should be a little easier to get in the zone but for some reason we had some trouble with it.
"It doesn't really matter now that we got the two points."
After the Buzzer
❚ No one in the Jets room was claiming masterpiece, but the two points were valuable.
"It's nice to get a win and get a good feeling back in this room," said Jets captain Andrew Ladd. "Any time you took a loss like you did in Tampa, it's a pretty dull feeling around here.
"You've got to try to find ways to be positive and get some energy and some life in the room."
Noel said rest will be a priority for his team the rest of this week, which includes a Thursday home game vs. Toronto.
"I thought we looked like a fairly tired hockey team so that's something we're addressing," the coach said. "It's a good time to back off and get some rest for us."
