Ancestry.co.uk have added another dataset to their Military Records Collection. This time it is documents recording the awarding of the Silver War Badge. The Ancestry website gives details of the badge …..
The Silver War Badge was one of World War I's most distinguished awards. It was given to servicemen who were discharged with a serious wound or illness – they wore it at home so they wouldn't be accused of not doing their duty.
Our records reveal over 800,000 injured soldiers, sailors and pilots. Find an ancestor among them, and you'll discover their rank, when they started and finished in the Forces, the unit they left and why they were discharged.

Thanks for the help guys, if I had cooked it the way I planned, I'd have had one heck of a big piece of jerky on my hands. It will be grill bound at 6:00 am Sat. morning. At the end of the day maybe my wife will believe what I told her long ago: Cooking is little more than science. Grilling, however, pure art. Thanks to fellow artists like yourselves we all grow with the grill.
Oh, by the way, gas vs. charcoal? C'mon, go prehistoric! WOOD BABY!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Craig

Gator volleyball sweeps Seminoles
Published: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 10:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 10:05 p.m.
Spurred on by an enthusiastic crowd of 3,023, the fourth-ranked Florida Gators turned back No. 17 Florida State, 3-0, in the O'Connell Center on Tuesday to move to 9-1 on the year while dropping the Seminoles to 6-4.
Photo Galleries
"I think people across the country may see 3-0, but that's not a reflection of just what a hard-fought match it was," UF coach Mary Wise said.
"Interesting, it's kind of a reverse from a year ago. We made fewer unforced errors, and the blocking was the difference."
The 25-20, 26-24, 25-23 win avenged a tough 3-0 loss (23-25, 22-25, 21-25) to FSU last year in Tallahassee that was the Seminoles' first win in the series since 1994 and ended a 21-match losing streak to the Gators.
"We knew that they had some big bangers, so we knew we had to block well and dig well," redshirt junior libero Taylor Unroe said. "It definitely feels good."
UF hit .255 to FSU's .216 for the match and outblocked the taller 'Noles.
FSU came out strong in each of the first two sets, taking a 4-0 lead in the first set and a 4-1 lead in set two before the Gators bounced back.
In the opening set, UF trailed 17-16 before ripping off five straight points to go up 21-17 and went on to win, with senior middle blocker Chloe Mann providing the clinching point.
As tight as the first set was, set two was even tighter, featuring 15 ties and six lead changes. UF took a 23-22 lead on a kill by freshman right-side hitter Alex Holston, but FSU responded with back-to-back kills from sophomore outside hitter Nicole Walch, who led all players with 14 kills, to reach set point at 24-23.
After a double contact call on FSU tied things up, Holston nailed a left-handed spike to make it 25-24, and sophomore outside hitter Ziva Recek, who shared team-high honors with Mann (12 kills), scored the clincher to put UF up 2-0.
The Gators then closed it out by taking control of set three, leading by as many as six points before a late Seminole rally. Trailing 24-21, FSU fought off two match points to close within 24-23 before sophomore Gabby Mallette stuffed Walch's last swing at the net to give the Gators the win.
"We dug ourselves out of a hole twice in set one and set two, and we knew that they were not going to go away," said Unroe, who led UF's back row with nine digs. "When we came out of the locker room, we had the mindset of no messing around."
Mallette finished with six kills and three block assists, while redshirt sophomore middle blocker Simone Antwi recorded a career-high seven block assists to go with five kills.
Holston had six kills with no errors and four block assists to go with a match-high .462 hitting percentage, senior setter Taylor Brauneis notched a match-high 36 assists, and Recek and junior defensive specialist Holly Pole from Ocala each backed up Unroe with seven digs apiece.
Olivera Medic followed Walch with 10 kills for FSU and also led the 'Noles with a .333 hitting mark.
With the win, UF improved to 29-3 against FSU under Wise (1991-present) and remained perfect (17-0) at home.
The Gators close out their non-conference schedule this weekend when they travel to Milwaukee, Wisc., for the Marquette Invitational.
UF will play host Marquette on Friday at 8 p.m. and play Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Saturday at 7 p.m.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/2/2013 (1654 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
LOS ANGELES -- As the scope of Christopher Jordan Dorner's ambitions sank in Thursday, thousands of police hunted him and waited, on edge, as he seemed determined to hunt them.
At departments across Southern California, bulletproof vests and riot gear were strapped on, shotguns readied. Motorcycle cops rode inside the protective metal of squad cars. The joking morning chatter had been replaced by grim quiet.
Their adversary was a linebacker-sized ex-cop with a multitude of firearms, military training and a seemingly bottomless grudge born when the Los Angeles Police Department fired him in 2009. Before dawn Thursday, authorities said, Dorner had already struck twice -- grazing an LAPD officer's head with a bullet in Corona, Calif., and firing on two Riverside, Calif., officers, killing one and wounding another.
It was the third homicide police have attributed to Dorner, 33, a former U.S. Navy reservist who is also accused of killing the daughter of a retired LAPD captain and her fiancé in Irvine, Calif.
Police across California and Nevada launched an unprecedented manhunt involving hundreds of officers from dozens of agencies.
In a Facebook manifesto police say Dorner wrote, he ranted against LAPD personnel who he said fired him unfairly. He threatened revenge, "unconventional and asymmetrical warfare" against police and their families, saying he would stalk them "where you work, live, eat, and sleep."
It also asserted: "Unfortunately, I will not be alive to see my name cleared. That's what this is about, my name. A man is nothing without his name."
Authorities took him at his word.
"Of course he knows what he's doing -- we trained him," Los Angeles police Chief Charlie Beck said. "It is extremely worrisome and scary, especially to the police officers involved."
Police are guarding at least 40 people mentioned in his screed. Security was tight at LAPD headquarters, with officers stationed around the perimeter. Beck himself was being escorted by extra officers.
Police are struggling to discern a pattern in Dorner's recent movements. A burly man matching his description tried to steal a boat about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Southwestern Yacht Club in San Diego's Point Loma, tying up the elderly owner, threatening him with a gun and saying he wanted to flee to Mexico. The thief gave up when a rope got tangled in the propeller. Dorner's old LAPD badge was found a short distance from the boat.
Three hours later, 160 kilometres away, a resident recognized Dorner's pickup truck and flagged down LAPD officers who were en route to guarding one of his would-be targets, police said.
After a brief chase, Dorner opened fire with a rifle, grazing one officer in the head with a bullet that came within inches of killing him. Police returned fire, but the gunman escaped.
Minutes later in nearby Riverside, two city police officers were attacked as they sat in their marked patrol car, police said. Bullets penetrated the windshield and struck both officers in the chest, killing a 34-year-old veteran and wounding the 27-year-old officer he was training. That officer is expected to survive.
It was a "cowardly ambush," said Riverside police Chief Sergio Diaz.
"My opinion of the suspect is unprintable," Diaz said. "The manifesto I think speaks for itself as evidence enough of a depraved and abandoned mind and heart."
The names of the officers who were shot have not been released. There is fear Dorner may come after them again, or their families.
About 5:20 a.m. in Torrance, Calif., two women were delivering the Los Angeles Times from their blue pickup when LAPD officers spotted the truck.
The police apparently mistook the truck for Dorner's and riddled it with bullets. The women, a mother and daughter team, were rushed to a hospital.
The mother, who is in her 70s, was shot in the shoulder. She was listed in stable condition. Her daughter was injured by shattered glass.

>Gears and Wears>How long do very light shoes last?
I am thinking about trying a pair of New Balance Minimus or something similar, possibly Saucony Kinvara or Adizero Boston.
I realize individual mileage varies widely so absolute mileage does not mean much, but a comparison would help.
The minimalist shoes don't have the substantial heel and sole of say the Asics 1100 series or Mizunos I am used to- will they last half as long?
Only a third as long?
There has to be a reasonable amount of value for me to make the decision.
PBs since age 60: 5k- 24:36, 10k - 47:17. Half Marathon- 1:42:41.
10 miles (unofficial) 1:16:44.
I wear two pairs of New Balance Minimus shoes MR-10 and NB 730. Both pairs lasted longer than i expected, longer than the previous shoes I wore. They don't have any padding or cushioning to wear out. I expected i would need to replace them after 300 or 400 miles but now both are at about 600 miles and they seem to be fine. The NB730 sole is starting to show some wear and will probably be replaced soon but they feel fine other than that.. The more minimal the shoes are the less there is to wear out.
Seems to me that the lighter shoes last longer. I'm currently wearing some Kinvaras that I am over 600 miles on and have also put 500+ on a pair of NB 1400s.
The Logic of Long Distance
I have a pair of Inov8s that are about 6 ounces.
They have almost 1,200 miles on them.
So, I wouldn't say something minimal and light won't last.
"When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem." Emil Zatopek
The kind of runner that can tolerate 'light' shoes is usually efficient and can more than likely tolerate much higher mileage on any shoe. Also, lighter shoes have less doodads (posts, stability devices etc) to wear out. Totally depends on the runner, try some and see.
Ostrich runner
Depends on what you're using them for. I've had flats and spikes that lasted a decade. If there's no cushioning, there's nothing to crush.

+1. A lot depends on how you run...and what materials are used for outsole and midsole. If the outsole is "blown rubber" (usually in lighter color), it's a low density sponge and wears faster upon friction. If outsole is more dense rubber (usually in black, but not always, and shiny), then usually last longer. The latter is heavier so usually not being used for light racing shoes.
Feeling the growl again
"If you want to be a bad a$s, then do what a bad a$s does. There's your pep talk for today. Go Run." -- Slo_Hand
I am spaniel - Crusher of Treadmills
I agree flats seem to last a lot longer than you would expect afterall there can't be much difference between really well worn flats and barefoot running can there ?
Old age is when you move from illegal to prescribed drugs.
Oh roo roooo!
I have heard of some that don't last long ( Nike Mayfly) but those are typically ultra minimal.
I have to say, I have a pair of these that I got on a really cheap sale. Nikes are not my favorite brand of shoes, as there always is something in the arch area that just feels slightly weird to my feet, but I couldn't resist the cheap price, being kind of a shoe slut as I am....Anyway, I have almost 200 miles on the Mayflies and they still feel OK to me. I don't wear these (or any other real minimal shoes) for long runs, but I do use them for anything up to about 6 or 8 miles, and have had no issues w/them feeling hard or broken down yet, at least at those shorter mileages.
I have 900 miles on a pair of Nike Frees. I am hardly light at 200 and the reason they will be retired is the uppers wearing out.
The process is the goal.
Men heap together the mistakes of their lives, and create a monster they call Destiny.
I have 900 miles on a pair of Nike Frees. I am hardly light at 200 and the reason they will be retired is the uppers wearing out.
This is what's killing my Inov8s--the upper is shredded where the shoe flexes. I'm not super light, myself, but the shoe has no midsole to break down. I have a second pair I wear for races (I fear the upper tearing apart mid-event at this point, basically), and they feel exactly the same as the old, worn pair ('cept the old pair's upper has more give
I originally thought they'd rip apart a lot sooner. I started seeing tears at around 400 miles.
FWIW (not much, probably), I retired my first two pairs of Vibrams at 1145 and 851 miles. Holes in a couple of toes.
Well at least someone here is making relevance to the subject. - S.J.
I find that the more miles I run, the more miles I get out of my shoes. And the less shoe I need.
I have 2 pair of Kinvara 2s. The first pair feels flat and broken down after 375 miles. The second pair has over 400 and still have life in them. I'm not as hard on shoes as I used to be, apparently. I also have a pair of Boston 2s with 630-something miles on them and still going. I have a pair of Boston 3s that are almost 500 and still going. And a pair of Adios 2s, which is a marathon racer/flat with over 300 and considering that for my upcoming marathon.
A few years ago I'd have been hard pressed to get 350-400 miles out of a pair of trainers.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - On August 28, the Jackson's lives were turned upside down, when police say a van ran a stop sign and crashed into JaNay's Jackson's bedroom, killing her.
Friends and family say JaNay touched many lives.
Hundreds gathered Saturday for a funeral service at Hardage-Giddens Funeral Home to remember the 17-year-old student.
The Wolfson High School drum major was ranked third in her senior class, and dreamed of becoming a nurse practitioner.
Family spoke of her beauty inside and out, and her strong faith.
JaNay's body was laid to rest at the Greenlawn Cemetery.
Police say the driver, Ismet Sijamhodzic, ran a stop sign, and crashed into the bedroom of her Southside home.
So far no charges have been filed against the Sijamhodzic. Police are waiting for toxicology reports.

Get the Recipe
When I close my eyes at night, I dream of dousing tender sponge cakes with a huge helping of sweet, delicious syrup or dessert sauce. I've made all sorts of cakes and soaked them with countless different liquids, but there's one cake in particular that stands alone as my favorite of all time: my Tender Citrus Sour Cream Cake. I keep coming back to the same recipe over and over again. It's like the dessert version of my "safe space."
I recently started playing with the idea of smaller cakes, similar to Miette's 6-inch cake policy. Really, you don't need a lot of cake to satisfy your cravings, and stuffing yourself leads to not feeling all that great about the miracle of sugar you just devoured. In a moment of self control, I opted to make this cake in a single-layer style. It's short and to the point. Because really, a small helping is all you need.
You'll find this cake moist, tender, and citrusy, holding a touch of spice from pungent cinnamon. The whole things is soaked with a mixture of condensed milk and heavy cream, then covered with a generous blanket of ultra-smooth Swiss buttercream frosting after a brief spell in the icebox. If you like, you can cover the cake in buttercream roses a la I am Baker. It's a quick and easy way to make an already impressive cake stand out, though I prefer a more traditional icing style that leaves a little something to the imagination.

Statement by Ambassador Wittig on New Challenges to Security in the Security Council
(as delivered)
Mr. President,
I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for your timely initiative, to convene today's briefing on New Challenges to Security. We welcome the presence of his Excelency, Mr. Paulo de Sacadura Cabral Portas, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Portugal.
Let me also thank the Secretary General for his briefing and Executive Director of UNODC Fedotov, High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres and Director General for the World Health Organisation Margaret Chan for their insightful briefings.
Mr. President,
Germany firmly believes that managing and resolving threats to international security as well as armed violence without understanding the causes and dynamics underlying them can at best only lead to temporary solutions.
Our world is, at the beginning of a new century, facing a whole array of tremendous new challenges. Among them are poverty, infectious diseases, transnational organized crime and climate change, just to name a few. The Council recognized the chalenges of climate change on security when it adopted, under German Presidency, a substantial and forward looking Presidential Statement on the issue. Today's debate is an excellent opportunity to take a systematic look at those diverse threats and challenges.
Mr. President,
let me briefly elaborate on three areas that deserve particular attention:
1. Health
Since the first discussion of the interlinkages between HIV/AIDS and international peace and security over a decade ago, the Security Council has come a long way, only recently having adopted its Resolution 1983 (2011) on this issue. Today it is widely acknowledged that conflict situations can aggravate health problems and that vulnerable populations, such as refugees or children in armed conflict, face higher health risks. At the same time we know that the spread of epidemics like HIV/AIDS can fuel conflicts by weakening national governments' capacities and by destroying existing social structures.
Therefore we would like to encourage donors, UN agencies and affected states to further integrate health into stabilization and rehabilitation programs and to promote innovative models of cooperation. One of these models is the Debt2Health Initiative, initiated by the Global Fund on HIV, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the German Government in 2007. By redirecting funds from debt repayments towards life-saving investments in health, Debt2Health has improved public health systems and strengthened partnerships, including with conflict-affected countries.
Besides significantly decreasing health-related root causes for conflict, there is also a need to highlight the importance of addressing health issues in the aftermath of conflict. The physical and psychological consequences of violence, including sexual violence, often constitute a heavy burden for stabilization, reconstruction and development in post-conflict societies. Mainstreaming health issues into peacebuilding activities therefore remains a key challenge that is often overlooked. In this regard today's debate can certainly provide guidance and help to increase awareness.
Mr. President,
my second point refers to the Interrelation between Climate Change, Migration and Security:
In some regions of our planet, climate change-induced migration is a reality already today. People are migrating, because their traditional homes are under threat by a rising sea-level, by increasing drought and desertification, by an increasingly destructive power of natural disasters. Climate change will hardly be the only factor in a crisis. The terrible famine at the Horn of Africa is an example for that.
We have to acknowledge that despite all ongoing efforts to curb Greenhouse Gas emissions and to mitigate climate change – and COP 17 in Durban is beginning 5 days from now -, migration has already now become an adaptation strategy for people affected by climate change. The number of affected people within and across borders will clearly rise, potentially leading to insecurity and conflict – besides the personal plight of millions of people.
Germany very much supports the approach that UNHCR is taking in this regard. We need more research and better understanding of the migration processes. We have to be guided by the fundamental principles of human dignity, human rights and international cooperation.
The international community may also need to look more closely into the adequacy and appropriateness of the legal and political instruments at hand – a complex task for all of us. And we will also have to look more closely into the security implications of migration, which will require a comprehensive approach, including by the Security Council within the work on new and emerging security threats. With a view to Durban let me just add that the worst case is not inevitable: Mitigation remains key in this regard.
My third point refers to the transnational organized crime
The composition and operational methods of transnational organized criminal groups have become more sophisticated in recent years. Their activities continue to pose a serious threat to international peace and security. The seriousness of the problem lies in the global penetration achieved by those organisations and in the threat they pose to democracy and legitimate economic development. These problems are compounded by the fact that States' capacities to establish the rule of law is in many cases weakened by corruption, weak judicial systems and the lack of effective policing capacity.
The scale of the challenge requires a coordinated response from the international community. In this context, we regard the Palermo Convention as one of the crucial instruments to enhance international cooperation to combat organised crime, and we would like to seize this opportunity to appeal to all states which have not yet done so to ratify this convention as quickly as possible.
In 2011 alone, Germany has contributed around 7 million (6.837.619) USD to projects implemented by UNODC in the area of combating organized crime and drug trafficking, and we intend to continue our financial support for such projects. As a good example for such a successful cooperation I would like to mention the Global Container Control Program, jointly conducted by UNODC and World Customs Organisation. This program is aimed at capacity building by training.
(not delivered due to time constraints:
An example for the detrimental effects of transnational organized crime, which we have discussed in this Council in the past, is illicit trafficking and misuse of small arms. Germany has for long been committed to a comprehensive approach to combating the destabilizing accumulation and illicit trafficking of these materials. We actively support initiatives to improve the control of small arms, be it in international fora or through multilateral or bilateral activities, both on the supply and demand side. Grave problems continue to arise from insecure ammunition stockpiles as a source of diversion to illicit markets, criminals or terrorists, including the potential use of munitions for Improvised Explosive Devices. Germany, in recent years, has paid particular attention to the issue of thorough management and security of national stockpiles of conventional arms and ammunition.)
Mr. President,
To conclude, let us not forget that prevention is key to countering today's threats. We as member states have to build up our own capacities and help others to do so, in order to exercise our sovereignty responsibly, deal with internal dangers before they threaten others, and act collectively with other states to meet threats on a global scale.
I thank you, Mr. President

Forget strops for touch ups at work since they don't survive commercial kitchen environments very well.The King 1K will work fine but adding a stone or two can speed your work and make your edges a lot better. Getting a low grit stone like the latte 400 will make grinding an edge and getting that first burr very quick and will save you time and energy. Then go to your king and you won't have to sharpen nearly as long with it. Then finish on a 5k-6k stone like the suehiro rika or the arashiyama. Send back the polish steel and trade for these two stones for about the same price as your rod and I think you will get much better results on your edges.

City a magnet for new eateries, stores, housing
Lots of changes coming downtown, near campus, elsewhere
Published: Sunday, August 18, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 17, 2013 at 6:27 p.m.
The face of Gainesville is changing.
Activity is picking up from new stores and restaurants interested in moving here, and demand is up for new housing.
Long-stalled, modern mixed-use developments based on the "live, work, play" concept have resumed development, including Celebration Pointe near Archer Road and Interstate 75 and West 38 west of the Hilton University of Florida Conference Center.
Butler Plaza is preparing to double in size.
Traditional housing developments such as the Oakmont subdivision at Southwest 24th Avenue are back on track, along with new phases opening in existing subdivisions.
Changes also are coming to the center of the city. Several new buildings are in the works in and around Innovation Square between downtown and UF to cater to technology companies and their service providers.
Properties around UF are being redeveloped to be closer to the center of student and residential activity, with plans for taller buildings that fit more apartments, more stores and more restaurants.
New businesses are opening downtown to take advantage of the growth from Innovation Square and downtown tech startups — and more customers coming downtown from other parts of town.

Get ready to say goodbye to owning a physical copy of a game. It's looking more and more like the next generation of home consoles will go the same route that PC gaming has via services such as Steam, Origin, OnLive and Gaikai and be 100% digital. Meaning you'll either be downloading a digital copy of your games, or possibly streaming the game off a server somewhere without even having your own copy of it. That could certainly put an end to several problems for console makers, namely hardware costs and the real big one, software piracy. If you never actually have to have to code for the game you are playing on your console, then there's no way to make a copy of it. This could also open up all kinds of new subscription models that you might be able to compare to cable TV.
So lets back up a second, I'm getting ahead of myself. Why am I saying this is in the works? Well for one thing, Sony announced over the weekend that it has acquired Gaikai for a whopping 380 million dollars. What's Gaikai? It's a game streaming service that allows you to play high end console or PC games through your web browser, without any graphics card or special hardware required. Think of it like remote desktop. You're controlling your computer from a web browser, but you're not actually running the software on your own machine, you're just controlling it remotely and viewing the monitor.
So what does this all mean for the PlayStation 4? Well, assuming the technology works well enough, it could me there wont ever be a PlayStation 4. Sony could simply enable their streaming service on your existing PlayStation 3 or Vita and give you instant access to the next generation of games without the need for any new hardware.
Further backing this up is a quote from EA boss Frank Gilbeau who says
"It's in the near future. It's coming. We have a clear line of sight on it and we're excited about it. Retail is a great channel for us. We have great relationships with our partners there. At the same time, the ultimate relationship is the connection that we have with the gamer. If the gamer wants to get the game through a digital download and that's the best way for them to get it, that's what we're going to do. It has a lot of enhancements for our business. It allows us to keep more that we make. It allows us to do some really interesting things from a service level standpoint; we can be a lot more personalized with what we're doing. At some point in the future we're going to be a 100% digital company, period. It's going to be there someday. It's inevitable."
Sounds like someone who has a good idea of where things are headed.
What you do make of all this? Is Sony going to ditch retail all together, and maybe even ditch digital downloads in favor of streaming? I'd bet it's probably their goal, but a mighty big one that might take another console cycle to actually come to fruition.

When you click on the Acrobat/Reader "Attach to Email" button on the toolbar it sends a request to your default email client to compose a new message. It will also attempt to create the PDF attachment using the file name specified in the URL where the actual PDF is stored.
The URL may be too long to create a PDF file as attachment if it contains very long parameters as follows:
In this case the filename of the resulting PDF attachment would be:
This can exceed operating system limits, and therefore the attachment does not get created/added to the email message.
Simply reducing the length of the URL, particularly the string which will be used for the PDF attachment file name, will allow the PDF attachment to be created. Even just reducing it by a few characters is sufficient.
A cleaner solution however, would be to re-structure the URLs so they are shorter, and/or move the PDF parameter to the last parameter position as follows:
In this case, the attachment file name will be:

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/5/2013 (1566 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Last week, we talked about offshore bank and investment accounts, how some people attempt to use these to hide income from Canada Revenue, and how this practice is illegal.
Today, we will look at something completely different -- diversifying investments outside Canada. For most people, this is done through their investment accounts with Canadian institutions, and that's what we'll talk about here.
Canada has become a very popular place in which to invest over the last 10 or so years, because from roughly 2000 to 2010, our stock market outperformed most of the other major stock markets.
The bulk of our stock market -- financial stocks -- fell less than most other countries in 2008 and recovered more quickly. As well, the first decade of this millennium saw huge growth in demand by developing countries for Canada's resources, and a resulting surge in resource prices, albeit with several significant interruptions.
Canada has become a very popular place to invest over the last 10 or so years, because from roughly 2000 to 2010, our stock market outperformed most of the other major stock market
At the same time, our dollar increased in value from a low of 62 cents US to near parity today. (This ignores the temporary surge to $1.06 in 2007 and the subsequent plunge in the financial crisis.)
The relative decline of the US dollar and other major currencies vis--vis the loonie helped to make foreign-investment returns look even worse than they were.
So, looking back to say, 2010, it was clear to "everybody" Canada was a much better place to invest than anywhere else. At the same time, of course, everyone could see the U.S. was a basket case financially and politically, with soaring deficits and no ability to make decisions. Europe's problems were even more obvious.
So, what happened in 2011 and 2012, and so far in 2013?
Naturally, the stock markets in those "basket case" countries outperformed ours.
Lessons? When everybody knows something, that knowledge is usually built into stock prices, and exceptional returns never come from following the herd.
Let's look a bit more analytically at the investment opportunities available to you. Canada makes up less than four per cent of the world's stock markets by value. That means there are thousands of great companies that don't trade on Canadian exchanges.
More concerning, almost two-thirds of our market is made up of either financial or resource and materials-related companies. We have a real shortage now of large consumer staples, technology, professional services, manufacturing and pharmaceutical companies.
The big six Canadian banks have been a huge engine of market growth, as they received a huge benefit from technology, demographic and interest-rate trends. No one expects the same growth rate in the next decade as over the last two.
Resources depend on demand from the developing countries, led by China and India. However, their economic growth rates appear to be moderating back from the previously stratospheric levels.
Arguing in favour of Canadian equity investments are the attractive tax treatment of dividends paid by Canadian companies and the elimination of currency risk. (On the other hand, snowbirds who spend winters outside Canada should hold reserves of the appropriate foreign currencies.)
I am not arguing in favour of dumping all your Canadian investments, and running offshore. However, I am suggesting nothing lasts forever, such as Canada's 10-year outperformance. Traditionally (prior to the year 2000), the best risk/reward ratio in investing was achieved with roughly half of a portfolio's equities in Canada, and half outside.
In spite of the very recent outperformance by foreign markets, it may still be time to open one's mind to the wealth of opportunities outside our borders again.
Just a thought...

British singer Lily Allen kicked it "Breasts in the Wind" style while vacationing in Cap d'Antibes, France. I'll assume "d'Antibes" is French talk for "Nipple Fountain on the side of a freaking cliff." For those of you who don't know who Lily Allen is, allow me to fill you in on the relevant info: She's the topless chick in the photos I just posted.

This is an absolutely awesome idea!!! Thank you guys for your hard work.
I am really impressed with this. Although for iOS 4.3.3 I recommend JailbreakMe.com and for iOS 4.1 I recommend Limera1n.
Nice job you guys!
this is awesome. making it easy to jailbreak!
Anthony - according to our conversations with comex, jailbreakme is not fully supported for devices other than the iPad 2 on 4.3.3 (which we do include as the guide for that combination). Also a big thanks to Joshua Tucker and Simon for their help putting this together.
As for limera1n, I'd never recommend that software to anyone as I had nothing but problems with it & personally always gravitate toward redsn0w or PwnageTool thanks to their stability.
Of course that's just my preference.
This is AWESOME!!!! Now all we need is the untethered JB for OS 5 already
This is very nice and easy place for people to go. Love it.BTW that's correct roro. Jailbreakme is owned by Saurik (also in a post on modmyi).
Nice!! Shoulda been like this from the start! Redsn0w has always been the better choice to jailbreak for me.
Jailbreakme is good but doesn't enable animated bootlogos so not a good choice if you want it. The fix that's available in Cydia isn't as good as getting it enabled @ jailbreak
Right when im jumping to ios 5 you put this up! Awesome MMi!
Hm...am I the only one not actually seeing anything at the url? The page loads for a while and then the only thing I see is
Definitely impressive. The evolution of MMi is never ending.
Appreciate the effort. FYI - this type of "pick your device" type of Jailbreak guide has around for quite some time at jailbreakmatrix.com. iClarified has one as well. And don't know why you left out Sn0wbreeze as a JB option for iOS5 on the 4. It's the only Windows option that will preserve your baseband. Redsn0w does not preserve your BB for Windows right now; only Mac.

[AAR] Tactical Tuesday 16th October - Dam it
A session consisting of little other than any ARMA player's favourite pass-time, dying profusely, all over the floor. I'd like to thank all the players who came along and, despite low numbers and some hiccups in hosting, made the session easy to admin and good to play in.

This was my second time playing on a Tactical Tuesday. Had a hell of a lot of fun.
Youtube playlist - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...eature=mh_lolz
Belenus - In which we figuratively try to destroy a brick wall for 30 minutes with nothing but rocks.
We loaded up into trucks and held the yard of the factory to the north west of the area.
With a handful of HE rpgs, we tried to take down a single BMP.
It didn't go so well.
Out-gunned and outnumbered we were slaughtered.
Except for Wires, who did us all proud and ninja'd his way to the British compound, but was promptly taken down as he got too close.
River Assault - In I which try to kill an enemy through sheer determination
We attempted to hold a hill to the east of the bridge, but found ourselves being suppressed to an extent that a good number of our side become wounded and we had a few causalities.
After picking off the defences at the first set of buildings on our side of the bridge, we push down towards them. Only a handful make it to the buildings, while some move through the forest picking off the enemy that were in cover there.
We defended from a two story building and held off an advance from the enemy side of the bridge.
Killed a mortar operator that had set up on the other side of the river.
Explosions rocked the building and had to get patched up and move out before it collapsed on it. We later found out there was another set of mortars set up in another area.
With three quarters of my original squad, dead or otherwise incapacitated we did what we could to defend the now occupied enemy side of the bridge. But we were caught unaware and were taken down.
A very kind AI soldier refrained from killing myself and the team-mates bleeding and dying at his feet while we aimed at his face and struck metal onto empty chambers.
We are picked off one by one.
Enemy side wins.
Warlords - In which I go for a pleasant drive through the desert.
BLUFOR loaded up into 2x Humvees, and one medic truck. Then together we charged towards the OPFOR holding point.
I got lost at one point and became separated from the team, but my passenger guided me to where I was supposed to go.
It was over very quickly, and I didn't see what happened, but I noted the deaths piling up on the screen.
Then BLUFOR won.
Generals - In which I nearly kill my reason for being in Chernarus on some god forsaken beach in the dead of night.
At night, with the threat of a flank and the responsibility of Alpha 1 we moved into the city from the North.
Silence held as we passed the hospital, and the church. Then civilians were spotted moving across a field with weapons and we started to take sporadic fire from the south and south east
Mistook a report over coms about enemy close on the Alpha marker and in a panic I friendly fired our General and took him down. He was able to recover.
After spotting a single soldier to the south east of the Alpha 1 marker, who promptly disappeared ( This was Ice wasn't it? ) we sprinted to the train station. We held it for around 20 seconds before a explosion took our general out. I patched him up, but this small victory was short lived.
A enemy took out the other OPFOR team-mate in the room through a door.
I sprayed through the door, didn't hit a damn thing.
I sprayed at the guy who came through the door, didn't hit a damn thing.
The guy at the door took me out, then our General.
BLUFOR wins.
Cholo - In which I take command
I was the commander for the police side. I had never played this mission before, and didn't quite know how it would play out.
Trying to find a corner to hide in while feeling quite vulnerable from all sides, I attempted to hold the main staircase from the ground to first floor.
As the police force was slowly whittled down I stuck to covering the staircase.
I was shot immediately as the enemy force moved through the building.
OPFOR wins
Police Rescue (test) - In which I get lucky
As one of the Independents I joined SpecialSoup and Aidan. Both of whom had automatic weapons, while I had G17, and two grenades.
So we put up shop in a two storied building and bunkered down to see what would happen next.
OPFOR pulled up in their truck and lit our building up completely. We were unsure if they knew where we were, or if this was just a coincidence. ( Later we found out they had spotted us on their map )
OPFOR surrounded our building, at which time Aidan who was covering the stairs fell through a wall and was promptly shot to death, leaving SpecialSoup and I to fend for ourselves.
OPFOR moved into the lower floors and Special Soup was taken down on the stairs.
Two OPFOR push into the second story of the building.
I kill them both with my G17
Independent wins!
The deciding moment
This might be the last time I get to play with you guys for TT, 7:30 - ~10:00 doesn't quite work out so well any more. I had hell of a lot of fun this morning.

Belenus - Bravo Squad Lead. Windows decided to break my mouse and sound 2 minutes in, and when I rejoined my AI character had decided to start driving the truck again. Xenu, BM, died trying to save me and I tried to organise Bravo's remaining AT before I was told Zitron had taken it (Not sure where that came from) and promptly passed out.
River Assault - I blame ASR_AI as I made the mistake of running along the crest of the hill and was promptly shot to pieces. Lesson learnt.
Warlords - Opfor Bodyguard. Everything was planned to perfection, but once we actually tried to put our escape plan into practice we found there was not enough vegetation and too many rocks. BLUFOR riddled us with bullets.
Generals - Alpha Squad Lead with Gandhi as my medic. A somewhat redundant role given that there was only one squad, we moved to try and catch out some of BLUFOR flanking to the north, then helped our commander when he was shot by a squadmate in a moment of madness. Caught out some nasty BLUFOR flanking medic.
Cholo - Oh Dear
Police Rescue - My favourite TT mission so far. Worked very well with just 17 people, Cops won thanks to Coat's pistol marksmanship.
Need to make sure enemy units are not visible on the map for obvious reasons.
Still not sure what happened to BLUFOR - the building INDY was in had an OpFor truck's headlights lighting it up and was just down the road from the APC. The rescue we were so desperately hoping for never arrived.

Belenus - A2 AT
Huh? I don't understand why people think I stole AT?? But apparently I was the last one with a RPG (why do we only get 1 rpg round??), so I wanted to make it count. After several attempts at trying to get an angle on the warrior apc and getting wounded and revived, I was finally able to hit it, and nothing happened. Got killed during the retreat, and watched wires attempt to win for all of us.
Police Rescue - Bluefor something
We got to the APC, and were confused about where to go next, and were imediately engaged by Opfor. Got shot while shooting at the dead gunner in a UAZ.
[AAR] I44 20/10/12 - Heartbreaking story of a band of brothers.
Dynamic Campaign
I'm sad to say that we didn't clear Balota again.. but don't worry high command has other towns that needs assaulting.
The Escape
A great success on the ally side as the POW's were rescued.
Road Ambush x2
Another mission made by Kale, needless to say we didn't complete it.
Jedburgh Ambush

The Escape: a.k.a "A-Team shit my arse..."
Member of the special operations rescue team. Insertion went well, the team successfully avoided detection and evaded two German halftracks and a Tiger tank patrol, "liberated" a pair of binoculars off of a German officer we took down in a timed execution of a patrol.
Assisted our commander X25killa in spotting and identifying targets within the P.O.W camp, when it came to taking down the guards it was agreed to do it stealthily, so I hung back and trained my sights on one of the towers containing a sniper. The sad part is the De Lisle Carbine... It is a terrible weapon in I44.
So our two members with MGs lit up the towers, raising the alarm. X25killa and myself proceeded to the main gate and engaged the flood of German troops exiting the camp with our .45 sidearms while the others blew a hole in the fence to the rear of the camp and exctracted the prisoners (Kefirz, JRides), X25killa and myself then started to pull back, I got knocked unconscious by a German stick grenade.
When I awoke I found myself left behind, proceeded to make my way to our extraction point alone, only to find a German Hetzer tank rolling my way... I dived to the ground and the Hetzer rolled past, inches from me. Snook past a couple of German patrols alerted by our previous activities only to find the rest of this so called "A-Team" had also abandoned one of the P.O.Ws (Kefirz) whom had by now acquired himself a German MP-40, so I proceeded to ecort this unfortunate fellow to the extraction point.
We came across another German patrol and took cover, unfortunately this patrol spotted us and we were forced to open fire, resulting in other patrols being drawn in... I made a snap executive decision and had Kefirz make a break for it, while I stayed behind and delayed the Germans.
I died doing my duty and safe in the knowledge Kefirz had escaped to safety!
Would play that one again.
Regards Hawk.

[AAR] Tactical Tuesday 23rd October: Helicopters In The Skies
This evening we enjoyed a playercount somewhere above 30, fighting bravely both in Takistan and Chernarus. The missions were:
- Roundabout SE: victory was achieved through grueling battle. This was particularly impressive because the Second Edition of this mission was intended to be a challenge for about twice our numbers.
- Goose Chase: OPFOR split in two with the hostages in tow, so the fighting was split in half as well, on both sides of Chernarus. Both hostages died shortly after coming into contact with their rescuers. Don't let this discourage any future hostages though!
- Poctalon: as last mission of the official session, the intel recovery attempt started by elements forming a circle around the potential crash area and moving in. Once the wreck was spotted, fireteams moved in on the site. After some heavy fighting the enemy eventually gave up, thus allowing players to secure the laptop and declare mission success.
- Post-session testing: Walkyries Ride
Thanks for all participants, hopefully we'll see you again on Sunday.Clips are fully loaded, and then blood floods the lawn

Anti-Material Sniper.
We spent most of our time in the beginning, driving around the AO and spotting stuff. Then command went silent, so I figured nobody would notice if I started shooting people. I only had 10 rounds anyway. So I took out a few machineguns, and my assistant secured an enemy sniper rifle for further fighting. But alas I was shot by a treacherous enemy who was hiding 5 meters away from us the entire time. My brave assistant died immediately. I hope he didn't feel the pain. Bravo came to the rescue, but some poor guy who had just enlisted to evade a miserable life in some takistani slum stole my spare rifle.
I looted an AK a shot a lot of dudes from behind a rock. Was fun, but I was not really aware of what the global plan was. Just shot people.
Goose Chase
A3 lead, Alpha Squad Pilot.
That mission, as expected, was a lot of fun. At some point my trusted gunner happened to meet a bullet that was flying alongside us. While I was flying out of the battlefield to land and fix him up, I was ordered to move to a new LZ asap to pick up A1. Which I did. Damn it.
I got there a good 5 minutes before A1, and was stupid enough to stay there even though I knew we were sitting ducks. Had my crew chief watch for those houses to our left, but good Fer happened to be a sneaky bastard and passed unseen. Last thing went through my head was one of his bullets.
Mostly uneventful. We found the big plume of smoke, entered the forest, shot up a few dudes, lost Harakka to the unvisible enemy trained by the VC, were ordered to get to tha choppa and patrol.
Walkyries Ride:
What was intended to be a more relaxed-slash-stupid mission turned out to be... exactly that. Was fun for me, even though a few fixes are necessary (that sound). I'll open a new thread regarding this one. Just so you guys know, the SAM site won't hit you if you fly low. But I mean, really low. Like under 5 meters above the sea.
Edit: Well actually no. I justed this again and it's not the case anymore. I might have moved it while testing, and messed it up. You guys, were actually doomed.

Tonight was tons of fun! Thanks again to all the folks putting in the hard work to keep it all organised.
Roundabout: Alpha-2 Fireteam Leader. We were tasked to destroy 8 machinegun nests and other bad things nestled into a valley, meeting up on the east side of the AO. Alpha crested the ridge and started taking fire from pretty much everything in the valley, resulting in 2 casualties in my FT. However after a vodnik buzzing about on the slope below us had been blasted, we were able to commandeer it for great victory, covering the rest of alpha squad as we cleared out the south-eastern MG nests. jRides proved an excellent driver/spotter, with myself proving a rather less adept gunner as I managed to tag Fer with (thankfully non-lethal) friendly fire as we crested a ridge. Sorry!
Meanwhile Bravo was flanking around on the North side of the AO, with both squads eventually able to converge on the central lake and declare the mission a success.
Goose Chase: BLUFOR Commander. With OPFOR attempting to take two guarded hostages from the center of the map to Russian camps on the outside, we had to rely on approximate tracking-signal locations to stop them. We started by moving to the Westof the center to secure a couple of vehicle-camps, with Bravo only 1 FT-strong, and Alpha-3 FT running two blackhawks.
The pings soon showed us that the hostages had split up, with one moving east and one west. Alpha squad hounded the western group relentlessly, making a couple of helicopter trips to cut them off before finally digging in just outside the westernmost Russian camp. During the enemy's final push into the camp, alpha was able to secure their hostage, but sadly he was blown away by the bad guys before he could be extracted.
Meanwhile Bravo and their blackhawk were being led on a merry chase by the eastern group, who broke south to secure vehicles. Several breakaway OPFOR groups were able to bamboozle us with cunning distractions, as well as reducing the chopper to red status in two areas using heavy MG fire, which the door-gunners returned. Meanwhile the hostage group starting heading towards the Three Valleys area on the east coast, while Alpha hopped over the map to reinforce the final camp along with bravo.
Alpha and Bravo formed a screen that was able to keep the remaining OPFOR mostly penned into the forests, closely watched by the bravo chopper, with fierce engagement until the second hostage was finally able to break away and join bravo. However, bravo chopper was engaged by alpha's chopper, which had been purloined by the enemy, resulting in a glorious blaze of fire and despair as we attempted to take off, until the last hostage finally took a bullet to the face through the chopper window.
I had tons of fun with this one -- alpha did an excellent job of keeping themselves in the fight and, with Bravo also able to keep pressure on the enemy despite their low numbers, using excellent mobility. The pilots did a great job too, ensuring the sound of rotors was never far from OPFOR's ears while providing effective transport and some door-gunner suppression. The pings were working properly unlike last time, and kept us on OPFOR's tail while still giving them room to trick and outmaneuver us.
Poctalon: Alpha Squad-leader. A fairly straightforward but well-executed mission, two full-strength squads and two blackhawks were tasked with securing valuable data from a crashed chopper. With Alpha and Bravo landing on opposite sides of the AO, we moved quickly and effectively across hilly, forested terrain, clamping in on either side of enemy forces in the center and neutralizing them handily. A tense few minutes of downloading followed, with a single rocket being fired at one of our choppers only for the perpetrators to disappear into the mist. The lack of counterattack (possibly due to a mis-firing trigger?) signalled the end of a textbook mission.

Fantastic Session. Every mission was fun; especially the hostage one.
Bravo Squad Lead. Got into our transport truck and... died.
Joined back in 10 minutes later as a JIP, stole an enemy MG emplacement, lit up the town, then there was a period of people getting shot as we waiting for instructions. When they finally came, the mission ended.
Goose Chase
Brilliant mission. I played it by the rules and was pretty subtle early on - standing just out of cover in my white lab suit, Dragging Coat out of position - but once we were engaged by BLUFOR I started to run off in completely the wrong direction, did my best to waste time until BLU managed to track us down again - which they did. My guard was killed, and I ran towards voices, shouting 'America, America!' until I found myself face to face with another Opfor. He was promptly shot, I got into the extract chopper and waited patiently for extract until Fer shot through the side door and into the cockpit from 400M away, killing me instantly.
Thorough enjoyed this one. I'd like to play it again, but with someone else having a go at hostage (who isn't iceraiser)
Bravo squad lead.
Sent my squads to do some searching, one of them found the chopper, we moved up north and began to close in, until I lost a whole fireteam in a matter of seconds. B1 went up in the air to do some scouting, B3 had a picnic, mission got called due to lack of things to shoot at.
Walkyries Ride
As Indy commander, I decided to position one hostage in the rocky forest area, so if he tried to run away he'd swiftly break his legs and/or got swallowed by the inanimate rock-face. Unfortunately this hostage was IceRaiser, and by the time we'd finally convinced him to leave the prison we'd been the victims of a horrific suicide bomb attack from the enemy's air force.
After a lot of shooting and running around I decided the mission was void and launched a GP at the rest of my team sitting in their 5mph boat. opfor joined in and flew a whole helicopter into our little gathering.
Mission would be good if taken seriously, but replacing the helos with a few littlebirds so squads can get in low and land on the northern part of the island may be an improvement.

Just as feedback, I wasn't super-happy to find out our sophistimacated blackhawk had been somehow hijacked by a bunch of terrorists -- as harakka(?) noted, it wasn't quite in the spirit of the mission. However, it did make for a dramatic helicopter-to-helicopter dogfight above a climactic shootout and hostage escape, and we did abandon half of OPFOR on the far side of the map with no transport, so it seems fair enough really?
Also I'm hardly one to talk, since I did steal the enemy vodnik in Roundabout, possibly contributing to the excessive easiness in the latter half of the mission. Maybe we could get some clarification on exactly what, if anything, is kosher in this regard.
Oh, and one further musing -- I was flying as spotter in one of the blackhawks during Goose Chase, and with all the trees it was almost impossible to catch any sign of the hostages, even though one of them said they had frequently been waving at us. There's not necessarily anything to be done about that, but I wonder if it might add a bit of tension to the guard-hostage dynamic if they had some kind of extra way to make themselves known. Maybe a single road-flare or something? Anyway, just a thought.

Roundabout: Alpha 2 AR. (I think. It could have been alpha 3)
Took a nice truck ride through a valley before being told to hop out and shoot people in the other valley. Being thoroughly confused I promptly got myself shot. Though In my spare time as a spectator I finally learned that the spectator script has some nifty features!
Goose Chase: Blufor Alpha 3 Rifleman (AT), Bravo Squad pilot
Dogface, Issus, and occasionally Bravo squad can testify to my horrible flying. Thankfully though, I didn't crash. It's pretty clear though that I need much more practice time on the non-ACE choppers. We carted bravo around from LZ to LZ while they searched around for the enemy, between that we spent a lot of time patrolling and scouting. I couldn't see much from the cockpit, but thankfully my gunners Issus and sometimes Dogface where able to spot things as needed. I'm told that one of the hostages was waving us down for most of the mission but I never saw him at all. At some point the other helicopter abandoned ship and left it sitting around in the forrest, leaving it for the enemy to play with, witch resulted in a really odd dogfight with two transport helos. After Alpha and Bravo grouped up and found the hostage I went in to attempt a quick pickup of them, but was promptly shot the second the hostage was in and I was ready to take off.
Poctalon:HQ Medic
I spent much of the first half of the mission trekking through the woods with the Bravo squad and the Commander. When Bravo finally took fire I was able to patch one person up, though everyone else seemed to be DRT with no chance of saving them. We got to the heli wreck, activated the download, then sat there for a few minutes with no contacts, and no news of how the progress on the computer was going. Hosts called the mission soon after.
Walkyries Ride: Blufor Alpha 1 FTL
My fear of leading my own team was quickly replaced by fits of giggles as everyone piled into their own chopper to head over to the hostage island in formation. After everyone took off and started on their way, I was quickly taken out by a friendly helicopter who came up underneath me and knocked me in the tail, causing me to explode. Then most of the other helos where quickly taken out by SAMs with only about 4 or 5 Bluforce members actually making it to the island intact. They where soon shot, with the last living member of the hostage rescue team deciding to plow his helo straight into the hostage takers and hostages alike. He missed, instead hitting a house.
Forgive my crap editing skills. I also cut most of the spectating as I was usually not at a good angel for anything interesting.

a) The common sense part is easy: Jeeps, trucks and straightforward weapon systems (e.g. a KORD) are things most troops could be expected to know how to use already (or work out quickly). IFVs, Tank and things that fly? Not so much!
b) Passed the common sense test? Cool. Now ask your element leader, and they should check with the CO/DC if the asset you're about to pick up / drive is going to fundamentally change the nature of your element. You may want to become light cavalry, but the CO may have other plans for you. Like a attending a piano recital.
IIRC, Dogface, you asked me (ASL, and the effective CO at the time) about the Vodnik, and I agreed.
Roundabout: Bravo 2 FTL
Even though squad leader Specialsoup died under mysterious circumstances en route to the operations zone, under Halop's capable guidance, things went fairly well on Bravo's first assault on the town. We peaked over the ridge line on the eastern side of town and rained down bullets on the infantry below.
However, on the second half of our offensive attacking from the north side of town, Halop dropped out of consciousness, leaving me in command of the squad (I chose Bravo 2 FTL to avoid this sort of thing from happening), and things quickly went downhill from there. The minute we broke cover, the enemy let us have it, and what followed was a cycle of charging, retreating, and healing up, with Fer politely asking when we'd be ready to begin our assault while I bleed everywhere on the ground. As we were gearing up for a change of tack, victory was declared! I'd like to think our constant annoyance of the enemy allowed Alpha to sneak up and take them out with a minimum of fuss, even if it isn't true.
Goose Chase: Blufor Bravo 1 AR
This mission was a blast. Bravo was essentially a semi-autonomous black ops team hunting the eastern Opfor team holding Aido hostage, ranging over hills, stalking our enemies, setting ambushes, and jumping out of helicopters (excellent transportation support provided by Macaco) We didn't even come across any enemies during that time, and it was still really fun.
Near the end, things took a turn for the serious. During one of our helicopter jaunts, Kefirz was shot by enemies from the ground, leaving our FTL Wires, Mugen, and myself left, with OPfor getting dangerously close to a Russian base on the east coast. We set up an ambush at the triple crossroads just outside the base, but Alpha was able to move in and engage the enemy before the latter reached us. When it was clear their advance had ground to a halt, we moved in to help, running up a forested hill south of the town where all the fighting was taking place.
Aido the hostage ran across us in a clearing on top of the hill, and we called down Macaco for helicopter evac. As he landed and we were running towards him, the enemy helicopter popped up over the crest and strafed us, killing Macaco and Mugen. Wires jumped in the pilot's seat with Aido at his side, and while they were taking off, I stayed on the ground and used my machinegun for the first time this mission, pumping round after round into the enemy helicopter in a feeble attempt to take out the pilot or at least drive it away. Alas, the efforts were in vain: the enemy helicopter pressed its attack, and one of its bullets lodged firmly in Aido's brain, and both sides went home with a loss.
Poctalon: Alpha 2 Rifleman/AT
A pleasant walk through the woods, not at all the curb-stomping the AI usually gives us in these types of missions. I didn't even need to bring my gun!
Walkyries Ride: OPfor commander
..:"Wow, that's a lot of helicopters."
Stranglove: "Yes, quite a few."
..:"I count at least nine. How many men are under my command again?"
Stranglove: "Nine."
..:"You don't say."

Roundabout SE:
Woke up at 8am, which was half way through this mission, so I completely missed out on it.
Video Playlist
Goose Chase:
Took on the role of Guard with SpecialSoup as my very civil but sneaky hostage. This was my first attempt at being a guard, and personally I found it a challenge to stick to the role and keep control of the Hostage. We moved through the forest towards the west safezone and took fire from what I now know to be BLUFOR's Alpha.
We came SO close, so very close to victory, but my hostage had lead me slowly towards the enemy. As I had figured he was doing throughout the mission. So I was promptly shot as I floundered and the hostage escaped.
This was a very fun mission, the numbers worked well and the choppers meant that Blufor could jump around quickly. I would very much like to try this one again. It was said above that there was a ping for the hostages? Perhaps without that, the OPFOR side would stand a better chance and not feel like the BLUFOR are using their Ahdvancd AMEERIKIN Sahtalights to hound the poor unfortunate OPFOR.
This was quite a short mission quiet mission. I enjoyed it for the ability to experience squad movement, but didn't see much in the way of action. I actually missed the moment of victory as we extracted, as I went AFK. But I am watching my recording of it as I type this, yeah not alot happened after I left. Seems like something went wrong with the mission.
Post-session testing: Walkyries Ride
I joined late and missed out on the chance of glorious death with Blu-For. So I just supported from the sidelines and recorded Blu-for's exploits. You should watch the recording, it's short and sweet.
The AA did seem to mess up the Blu-for approach a fair bit, but otherwise I could see this mission being very very interesting. Especially if we get to see the boats get used.
Wacky Raceshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnJN9...ure=plpp_video
Very fun all around, I didn't know quite what was going on, but came second in the race. Then the killing began.

Just a small line to say that yesterday I had my first session with the group and I was very impressed. I had a blast in all the missions and was very grateful for how nice and cooperative the people was.
I will be back for sure and promise that this door gunner will cover Black Mamba's back much better next time :D

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/8/2014 (1107 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Robin Williams surprised a crowd of young Winnipeggers a decade ago when he popped in on their grad ceremony at the Fort Garry Hotel.
"He walked in the room with this huge smile and arms open," said Steven Giron, who was volunteering at the Junior Achievement event and will never forget the night.
"I was just chatting with a group and I saw him: 'Holy (expletive)! That's Robin Williams!'"
One of the organizers had spotted Williams alone in the lounge and asked him if he would pop in and surprise the 80-or-so high-school-age young people celebrating the end of their Junior Achievement program. Junior Achievement is a non-profit organization that offers business education programs to youth.
Williams was in Winnipeg filming a movie with Holly Hunter and Woody Harrelson.
"After finishing a long day of filming The Big White he was so accommodating and posed for pictures," Giron, 30, said. "He was just really humbled by the star-struck crowd."
He said he didn't expect someone of Williams' stature to be so approachable and appreciative of his fans.
"He's the first internationally renowned celebrity I ever encountered," said Giron, who was also surprised at being taller than the larger-than-life Williams.
"He definitely made time for everyone," said the fan who shook Williams' hand. The star of Mrs. Doubtfire and the voice of the Genie in Disney's Aladdin signed autographs for the crowd in the hotel ballroom.
Giron said Williams will be mourned by everyone who was there on that special occasion.
"For someone of his stature to drop in and make time for everyone — the people who were there are remembering that night."
Williams' friendliness warmed the hearts of people all over Winnipeg, even in the depths of a fake winter.
"He was really a down-to-earth person," said John Vagianos, owner of Johnny's Maples Pizza and Restaurant in the complex where Williams was filming The Big White for two weeks in May 2004.
The movie was shooting on location at the mini-mall draped in white blankets to make it look like it had snowed. Vagianos chatted with Williams on several occasions in the weird winter wonderland.
"He was very easy to talk to and he was always funny," said Vagianos, who has a picture of Williams on the wall of his Maples eatery.
"It was very sad to hear what happened," he said Monday night.

Kim Kardashian milks Jessica Simpson for more free press
Kim Kardashian continues her defense of Jessica Simpson, but this time taking it to a venue that's pretty much the mecca of insight and empowerment. Ha, just kidding. She wrote on her blog:
I was doing Super Bowl interviews for my Leather & Laces party I'm hosting down here in Tampa, Florida, and EVERYONE seems to be asking me about Jessica Simpson's alleged weight gain.
I think it's absolutely ridiculous!!! She is not fat at all and I am actually offended that people are giving her such a hard time over this! LEAVE HER ALONE!!!
First of all, her outfit was FABULOUS! I loved that Fendi leopard belt with those high waisted jeans!
She is so drop dead gorgeous and the fact that the media is sending this message out to young girls is mind blowing!
I am probably twice Jessica's size, so what do you guys think of me then???
Folks, never ask a question you don't want to know the answer to. Because chances are it'll have something to do with you only being famous for hanging out with Paris Hilton before hawking your own sex tape which garnered you just enough spotlight to exploit your bulbous ass that by all laws of physics should have its own orbit, moon and why the hell not? An Arby's.
Words to live by.

Conservative blog readers are aware of the Chris Matthews/Reince Priebus contretemps on MSNBC's Morning Joe, where Matthews shouted down Priebus with accusations of GOPers playing the "race card" (among other things).
An abbreviated video clip is below (the full segment was so awful that you could sense the other guests cringing). Someone has to do it, so I'll start:
The Top Ten responses
Reince Priebus should have offered to Chris Matthews when he accused the GOP of playing the "race card":
10. I'm sorry…your name again is…?
9. Security! This fellow says he has a show but nobody here has ever heard of it!
8. I think that tingle has moved up to your brain, Chris.
7. No decaf in the green room again, eh?
6. Curses, foiled again.
5. Yes, Chris, after the vice president caught us trying to re-enslave African-Americans with banking de-regulation, we thought we needed to move on to something subtler. Bwoo-hah-ha!
4. The Village Idiot Convention called. They're missing one.
3. Are there questions in your diatribe or am I supposed to just listen and nod my head slavishly? Oops, caught me again…playing the "race card."
2. Three words: anger management therapy.
And…the Number One Response
Reince Priebus should have offered to Chris Matthews when he accused the GOP of playing the "race card":
1. I assume your bosses, desperate to try to grow your measly audience, have given you this morning guest slot to attract viewers to your little-watched afternoon show. But I won't play punching bag to your rhetorical bullying, Mr. Matthews, in their attempt to save your neck. When they finally give up on you, I've heard Al Gore is hiring.

A MAN was left with cuts and bruises after being punched in the face twice during a brutal mugging in Clacton.
The victim was walking along Oxford Road at night when he was approached from behind.
The robber demanded he hand over everything he was carrying, which included a wallet containing more than £100 in cash.
Despite handing over the money he was still punched twice in the face.
Investigating officer, Det Con Mo Crawley, said: "Just as the attacker walked away into Harrow Road, after the robbery, a car drove by in Oxford Road.
"We believe the people in this car may have seen the attacker and could provide us with vital information and would urge them to get in touch.
"I would also like to hear from anyone who has any information about who may be responsible for this crime."
The incident, which happened between 11.30pm and midnight on May 19, took place at Oxford Road's junction with Harrow Road, as the victim was walking in the direction of the town.
The attacker is described as white, about 5ft 9in tall, of medium build and in his mid-20s.
He was wearing a blue or grey hooded top with the hood pulled up and dark bottoms.
Shortly before the robbery the victim believes another man had been in company with the attacker.
That man had a push bike and is believed to have turned down Harrow Road just after the victim had entered into Oxford Road.
The witnesses who were in the car are asked to call Det Con Crawly at Clacton Police Station on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
