Whenever I play any kind of special forces, ArmAx takes me aside for a little chat. It goes something like this:
ArmAx: Comrade, why are you doing this?
Fer: Because this is fantasy! FANTASY!
ArmAx: Comrade, we've discussed this many times before. You have never had a day of military training in your life. You couldn't be less special forces if you tried.
Fer: Remember the part about this being fantasy?
ArmAx: :sigh:
Fer: Just give me my high-speed/low-drag gun already.
ArmAx: You're only going to embarass yourself again, comrade, but here you are.
Fer: Thank you.
Congratulations to the rest of the (regular) platoon for managing to take the objective with respectable losses and only one cooked-up IFV!
Oh Marine, I watched you burn!

MMG1: Toppometer
|- Assistant: Fer
Almost as soon as we had disembarked from the trucks we came under fire from enemies unseen. The rest of the platoon appeared to know where it was going, so we didn't panic. Instead, comrade Toppo and myself spent a very enjoyable 5 minutes moving by bounds through the woods. It was all "Bounding!" and "... set!" and felt very proficient. Unfortunately, horrible things were happening to the other side of the platoon, so we had to come back and join up with CO, comrade Wolfenswan.
We were probably no more than 50-100m into the woods, with open fields to our right and a road some distance ahead. I believe the bulk of the platoon was ahead, or roughly in line with us. There may even have been one fireteam out in the field, pinned down behind one of the low stone walls. Whatever the detailed picture, the rough impression over comms was that we were bogged down, and badly so. Then it got worse.
I must have been shot and patched up at least 3 times in the course of 5 minutes. Despite the order to fall back, many of us were guilty of attempting to heal the fallen or at least drag them - slowly - into some form of cover. Like a textbook example of why it's better to win the firefight before tending to the wounded, we became targets in an easy shooting gallery for the enemy.
Eventually, when Toppo was dead and my legs shot away, blood making my vision red, I saw the enemy. A handful of troops were advancing on us from the road, upright and moving quickly towards the undergrowth where I lay. I fired every round in my rifle (to no avail), until all I could hear was click-click-click-click-click.
MMG1: Toppometer
|- Assistant: Fer
We landed in a hot LZ, but because of the way the mission had been configured I spent an agonizing few moments trapped in the bird, unable to dismount until my element leader, Toppo, issued an order with the command interface. Once out of the bird, Toppo and myself settled into the work of engaging targets with his M240, my job being to use my laser designator to spot and provide accurate ranges. The platoon as a whole probably cleared the valley in a few minutes, leaving us the odd straggler to engage. Then we were off, up the slope to our north-west, to join Alpha/Bravo and MAT1 on the ridge overlooking Feruzabad.
As I crawled over the crest of the ridge, the first thing I saw was a truck-mounted ZSU positioned at small army outpost south of the town, but on ground almost as elevated as ours. The barrels were pointing in our direction, but the gunner hadn't spotted us or the rest of Alpha/Bravo. Toppo immediately set up to fire on the truck and there then followed a reasonably long conversation between our squad leader (Alpha FTL, comrade Bodge) and the CO, (comrade Draakon). Comrade Draakon wanted us to identify targets in the town before opening up on the truck, and in any case wanted MAT1 to do the job of eliminating the AAA threat (which is remarkably effective against infantry and light armour).
It was a good call. With my rangefinder I helped spot ot confirmt the presence of a BRDM in the town's army base, a DShKM at the head of the road leading up to the mine, and a technical at the town's western exit. When we did open fire, it was still Toppo that killed the ZSU's gunner, but in a flash he moved to engage the DShKM and disable the technical. We stayed on the ridge longer than any other element, covering Alpha/Bravo's descent into the town and successfully engaging a handful of enemies that attempted to climb the slope.
When the town was taken, we moved down to assume a rearguard position at the head of the road up to the mine. A small number of enemies were moving on foot towards us from the south-west, running down a more westward slope of the ridge we had just occupied and crossing the flat valley floor amidst a hail of our bullets. Comrade Toppo made the most of his remaining ammunition and cut them all down, before scavenging an RPK and making for the mine itself.
The rest of the platoon was mopping-up by the time we got within any useful distance of the mine complex, though I did get to witness the luckiest man alive making his run down the hill above the mineshaft. Well, he was the luckiest man alive until he wasn't alive.
Then the mission was over and I called for a photo-op at the entrance to the mineshaft. I'm afraid someone popped smoke at that point (boo!), so I aborted my plans.
Note: Mid-way through the mission someone destroyed the (disabled and unmanned) BRDM with satchels. As a rule, in Folk sessions, please don't do that unless you've cleared it with the CO first.

Charlie: Fer
I rode with comrade Head in his personal Littlebird, and was glad when he set me down near comrade Tigershark's LZ, where comrade Draakon's Alpha fireteam was making a beeline for the little house that overlooks the crash site from the south-east. Enemies were down the slope, some near the house itself, so we poured fire onto them. My suppressed G36K was surprisingly handy at medium range, and soon it was safe to continue on to the downed C-130 itself.
Comrade Sulphur and others from Brave narrowly beat me to the wreck and initiated the data download process. For a little while I helped cover the southern approach, but quickly moved northwards up the valley in anticipation of an enemy technical that was moving in. The ill-fated vehicle was allowed to get quite close to the crash site before punishing fire from both sides of the little valley finished off the crew. Bravo recovered the still servicable 4x4 and I fell back to the C-130 again, pausing briefly to look at the flaming wreck of ShowMeTheMonkey's Huey, which had crashed and burned to our north.
When the data download was complete, comrade Tigershark brought his Huey in to land near the wreck and I climbed aboard with Alpha. Comrade Head's personal Littlebird took off the remaining members of Bravo, though I believe some brave souls drove out of the valley in the captured technical. After some Air Cav flying from comrade Tigershark, we made it home to the base.
I hope others enjoyed the session as much as I did, it was a pleasure to host and to play in.

Wolfenswan do you have the rest of that video :D? Cause the vid cuts off right at the moment where yours truly made his first kill ever playing with RPS in a TT/FOLK game! Unlike everyone else before me, I survived those AIs!!! Hilarious how everyone went "the new guy is on his own" on comm XD That's exactly how I felt, I was on my own in the middle of the desert with tangos all around, without even knowing where they were! Awesome session!
(not sure if posting comments is appropriate in this thread, maybe you guys keep posts to narratives of the action only? if so, just delete this ^^)
Post anything relevant to the mission/session.
I'm afraid I don't have that bit, I only frapsed Null's demise. But we all witnessed your killing spree ;)
More video:
please cross-post to the official thread! :)

Fired Up
Missed out on this mission.
Just managed to catch the end of this mission in JIP slot. Toppometer gave me a lift (and others) from spawn to catch up with the others. Blew up some Oil Tanks and that was the end.
Null's mission was pretty good but needed more zest and CHAAAAAAARGE from everyone.
Plan was head into town, kill all enemies, blow up caches and then leg it to the evac. We didn't even make it to town...
I played as an PMC engineer (with the same skin in Day Z) with Ivan as my minion. We were ordered by the commander to fix any broken vechs. Unfortunately our friendly BTR was blown to smitherens and couldn't be fixed nor replaced.
Everybody attacked with bridal rage. Then the hinds flew in and took most of us out. I managed to chuck some orange smoke then died by enemy fire.
Ivan was crawling around dodging the enemy's tanks treads. Then got shot.
PvP match. Not really a big fan of PvPin` but Tactical Tuesday made this fun and tense.
Plan was Indie Coffee Shop Owners defend caches from the Americana Tea Drinking Association. Bodge was my leader and followed his commands. Me and Bodge planted IEDs in different locations, marking it so our side know where they were.
Suddenly, we heard gun fire from the villa. One of the comrades was killed and the fellows were under heavy fire. There was nothing we could do for them. Suddenly, everything went to hell in the southern side.
The enemy blow up the caches in the south. Kefirz managed to take over a broken humvee with the gun still working next to the very last cache, I was the distraction... or so I thought.
Somehow, StrangLove blew up 3 of his own men while providing a good distraction. He did apologize for blowing up the building I was in.
I decided to use ingame VON to "lure" the enemies in. Killed 2 of them before I was taken out. Kefirz downed some men but alas, was shot by the sneaky Americanos. Americanos won, the Indie Coffee Shop Owners lost.
Overall, a good session was had. Looking forward to more in the future.

I really enjoyed last night, I forgot how much fun being a medic is. I would suggest one thing though: smoke grenades for medics. There were a couple of times when I could have really used some of them, and there was almost no one else around to cover me while I was healing people. (Might as well ask for a VSS while I m asking for things).
I almost ragequit during Cacheola when I was laying on a roof to see where the Americanos are coming from. Suddenly I came under fire and made for the door so I can go down and relocate, when Arma decided I should stand up in order to cross the door threshold and of course I was hit by bullets. How much more embarrassing can a death get? I was raging!
Edit: It was nice seeing so many new(ish) people.

16-05-2012, 01:35 PM #213So that was you? I wondered why you would get up under fire. Guess we got you then. :P
I was sure I had an IED, that's why I ran up to the HMMW but somehow I confused something :/
It was amazing to see the server so crowded, especially without it being a directly-scheduled event announced as a main post on the front page. New people: If you have any thoughts on how we can do things better, please share them. Dont be afraid to tell the chattier old salts to shut up and let you think for a moment or that things were unclear :)
As Fox FTL I had two new faces and a crusty old Unaco in my squad. We were combined with Echo, lead by Tink, who had command of the two fireteams. For the first half of the mission we saw relatively little action as Alpha/Bravo and Charlie/Delta teams were spearheading things. We crossed the main road several times whilst command was rotating assignments and I was honestly kind of surprised we didn't get slaughtered doing so - that road was a clear kilometre long run straight down to the front door of the military base. When we reached the southernmost reaches of the Shapur-2 compound we'd had sporadic engagements, but never really had to worry as there were so many of us that the sheer volume of outgoing fire killed everything.
The enemy got the fight back in them when we reached that southern wall. Tink got sniped and Unaco got winged but the support teams (MMG, HMG, MAT, etc) helped us clear out the responsible parties. As the surviving FTL I took command of the section and relayed the orders we'd gotten for command: attack the front entrance of the military base, sweep through the gates, and meet up with the force that was penetrating the northern wall. Seeing no surviving hostile forces, I gave the command to waltz through the gate like "Big Guddamn Heroes". For the hell of it, I decided to jump on a formerly occupied static MG and scan around south -
Bullets whizzed in. Our seven brave men fell almost instantly. Two dead, four writhing. Myself, hanging onto the static machinegun, bleeding and dazed. Command couldn't get medics to us immediately. I emptied the magazine of the gun southwards and managed to put down two targets before I bled out.
A few minutes later the mission was called early as a complete success - all the enemy AI had been killed and there was nothing that could have stopped us from blowing up the targets.
I wrote this mission and commanded it. In hindsight I made several mistakes:
- I didn't go through with my original detailed plan and tried to free-n-fast it so we weren't waiting around
- I didn't pick the right support teams, preferring an infantry wave tactic (against tanks and choppers)
- I mixed up the two-fireteam pairings that had been used in the previous missions by having a four-fireteam group and a two-fireteam group
- I put too many goddamn enemies right in front of us
Despite this, the fireteam leaders did an excellent job of shepherding people to the front. The original plan was to have a support team to our west, consisting of Sniper, HMG and AA capabilities. This overwatch team was to look out for manned static weapons, resting vehicle crews and provide covering fire against any large infantry formations or possible attack choppers. Their firepower was to be supplemented by a BTR with HMG, giving them two HMGs, an AA launcher, a sniper rifle and the ability to relocate if they came under fire. They would have been exposed to vehicular assaults, but their role was primarily supposed to be providing support and information.
The front line was supposed to be infantry, with their RPG troops holding back a few steps from the main body and ready to act as a quick reaction force. Behind them I wanted Medium and Heavy AT teams, Medium MG team and the Engineers/Medics. Behind them, and providing close in fire support, I wanted the BTR-90s and BMP-2 armoured vehicles we had at our disposal. Those of you who played the mission might have thought that we had enough vehicles at the start for an armoured spearhead assault, but none of them had any real armour and.. Well, you saw how badly we got chewed up anyway.
In any event, what actually happened is we had the BMP and one BTR pull up the rear of the infantry, only to get popped immediately as we entered the woods. The sniper team snuck behind enemy lines but couldn't do much. The infantry, lacking in special weapons and taken unawares by MVD security/special forces in the woods, were slaughtered. To top it off, I got sniped quite early on.
Then a pair of enemy Hinds swept in.
I am a bad commander and a... punishing mission designer.
I apologise for that being a bit of a flustercuck, but at least we saw a hell of a lot of hardware being thrown around. Right?
I was a lowly RPG gunner for this PVP mission. We hid in town until Blufor breached the perimeter and took out the first cache. They swiftly moved to our adjacent cache and blew that up too. I was lucky enough to see several blufor troops down a street from my vantage point, and having decided I was unlikely to survive to see any HMMWVs, let fly with my rocket. It killed one man and made several others panic. I then lost an exchange of rifle fire and had to crawl to safety. A friendly face patched me up, but as we moved north to rendezvous with the rest of the defending team we were both blown up. By the defending Commander, StrangLove.
I guess he died early in Garbagemen.
Fired Up
I was an AR in alpha squad, we were on the western side of the road, in cover behind some rocks. I was ordered to engage enemy trucks and slaughter the infantry with my MG as they piled up. That went well, and I think I actually blew up a truck with my MG fire. We didn't have any casualties I think, the only death was someone at the very start, who got run over by a friendly BMP.
I was in MMG support squad. First time "in command", basically I had no idea what I was doing, thankfully my assistant gunner, Toppometer, took over (thanks for that btw). We were supporting the forward advance, and we had to lay fire down the road. We moved from roof to roof, killing a lot of far away dots on the horizon. Then as we got closer to the main base, i got shot from somewhere and the second gunner died. Thankfully Bodge patched me up, but I missed the main assault on the main base.
Ooh, this massacre. I was in Charlie squad. We were moving up to the enemy town, through a forested valley, suddenly, bullets started flying all around me, luckily I had a big rock in front of me, so I hid behind it. I tried to get a bearing on the enemy fire, but couldn't see anything because of the trees, something heavy was shooting at me, could have been a heavy MG. A minute later, nobody was responding on group VON, they were all dead.
Then I saw the horrible picture - lots of dead and wounded comrades all around me. As soon as the shooting stopped, I hurried to patch up a wounded friendly. I started patching him up, he said "Thank you" and then boom, im dead.
My favorite mission in this session. I was in BLUFOR. Our job was to approach the town from the west and destroy the weapons caches. I was a gunner in a Humvee, when we approached the town, the rest of the squad disembarked, while I stayed in the Humvee as support. I think I fired the first shot in this mission, as I saw an insurgent running beside a building, don't think I killed him, though. I opened fire on some insurgents on the roofs, and killed one who was in the open, and then whoosh, an RPG flew right by me, lucky me I guess. Then I heard an order from my FTL that I need to support them immediately, so I moved up deeper into the town. Some insurgents appeared and opened fire on my squad as I was looking the other way. My squad was killed, and I was the only one left. I raged and started spraying my MG in the general enemy direction. I think there were 4 or 5 insurgents, they were all shooting at me from different directions, but the armored machine gun nest saved me. I tried to back away, but my wheels were already borked. I made my last stand, killed one guy who was crawling to my Humvee (Wolfenswan, was that you?)
,then someone climbed to the roof and shot me from above, where there was no armor.

A word from TigerShark

Swept LE Adversarial
Ride of the Valkyries
Comrades, a great session with a player count close to 40. I'm very grateful to everyone who came along tonight. An excellent turn out and fantastic to see so many new joiners.
Some highlights for me, I particularly enjoyed Unaco's last stand in Bend and there were several excellent firefights to be observed from spectator (which I appeared to experience quite regularly).
Special mention for the new players - I hope you enjoyed your first Folk session, and will join us again next Sunday. Also, please remember the excellent ARPS Tactical Tuesday, where you'll get to play with many of the same comrades, and experience the joys of respawn.
Again, huge thank you to everyone who came along tonight.

Swept LE AdversarialI was in the indy team, Head begin the commander made a plan, I was with Delta, ran down the road, kataras (from the other team) flew out of the helicopter and landed next to me dead. 20 seconds later, I got shot by an AI UAZ. Was enjoyable to watch while dead.
Ride of the ValkyriesMMG leader, plan was to capture the town, helicopter got shot at, some men died, we landed, we charged, fight, joined forces with MAT, lack of commander was bit of an issue. Charged into town, no one was about, got my South and North mixed and my comrade Crash got shot. I avenged him, revived him, and hunted down some more. We both got killed in action.
This was the most enjoyable mission of the session. Bodge being the leader of MMG, I had a laser marker providing distance and location of enemy to Bodge. He managed to get the most kills. Everything went pretty good.
My first ever folk, had a brilliant time!
My quick overview
Died pretty much instantly with the rest of alpha when I took a BMP shell to the face.
My game crashed when we started, much rage was had on my part!
Ride of the Valkyries
After surviving the trecourous helocopter journey with alpha and bravo and not dying after it overshot the LZ and took fire, we then valiantly pushed forwards to the wall where half a team had got gunned down. I healed a squad mate only to be repayed by being shot from the humvee that flanked our rear. Here is where I was KIA.
This was by far my favourite game of the evening, we had phoenix as our FTL who did a brilliant of commanding the FT. We had made it right up to the ridge of the last mountain where over half the FT was gunned down in a hail of bullets. A glorious death.
All in all, had a great time!
We had what, 34+ at peak tonight? Not a bad number.
You might think I went into the session intending to be a trouble-maker.
I was Echo FTL.
I had my section hide as the CO wanted and planted a satchel on the road. "Oh, what will happen if I die before I get to use the satchel? I'd best put a timer on it". Two minutes before the convoy arrived, the satchel went up and I was deeply concerned that I'd alerted the lead vehicle. Fortunately, that wasn't my great mistake.
My great mistake was preparing a soundbyte for when we were to engage - I accidentally clicked to start it a few moments early. Cavalry trumpets sounded, people stood up and fired RPGs, and... well, we died. Despite the best efforts of Phoenix, who has developed a healthy distaste for standing in my proximity when bullets start flying, my entire fireteam bought the farm before the end of the mission.
Alpha FTL.
We lost Kataras to the Dove Of Peace bug - he got stuck in the rotors of one of the choppers and flew over enemy lines. We then lost SuperU to a crash. That left myself and Joseph/Sulphur. We pushed up, a bit ahead of Unaco's plan, and couldn't find any enemy. So we kept pushing. At one point I popped three smoke grenades and had us charge across an open field in what was described as an act of 'Heroic Stupidity'. It turned out to be doubly stupid as we already had friendlies on the far side of the field.
As we approached the main street through the town, we caught sight of and engaged hostiles. I managed to kill Banshee, whilst Joe got Bodge and Tigershark. The mission ended with all the defenders crushed between us and the mechanised unit they were trying to break through.
Ride of the Valkyries
Alpha FTL.
A man in my squad was pilot for our aircow, containing CO/DC/MMG/MAT/Alpha/Bravo, whilst the other 'cow took Charlie/Delta/Echo/Foxtrot. Sadly some rust on the ol' joystick meant we overshot our LZ into hostile airspace. Bullets pinged through the back of the bird and took out several people, including my RPG gunner (Mort) and our commander (Bodge). That left me in command. We eventually made it down, a good kilometre east of our intended LZ.
The second section had made it down in good order, I tried to reorganise what elements we had alive to fit Bodge's original plan - this mostly involved telling the people who had made it in safely to make risky dashes to our intended LZ whilst we caught up with them from behind. We started by converging on and capturing a bunker at a crossroads, but when I had us regroup between two of Bodge's markers things started to fall apart. I got swiftly shot and things proceeded downhill almost as swiftly as can be imagined. The last dozen survivors were eventually ordered into a death-or-glory charge. There was a humorous event involving several enemy AI soldiers following our air asset with their rifles, only to end up pointing them directly at the back of one of our fireteams. A brief moment of confusion was followed with a burst of lead and several deaths.
I used a classical plan: FORM LINE! FORM! LINE! AND! ADVANCE! BY SECTIONS!
Well done by all fireteams and fireteam leaders for keeping your heads together whilst I was trying to figure out what to do next. Apologies to Izzanbaad (for ordering him onto a rock made of moon-rubber which launched him into space) and Kataras (who I swear I don't remember shooting) who I apparently got killed. Fewer apologies to StrangLove, who had a toy slot and got utterly bored by being completely ineffectual with it. He volunteered, after all.
Hi guys, thanks for the games tonight. I really enjoyed them and i will definitely be playing again.

Had what i felt was a good position for this one. Got three RPGs on target and even turned one of the BTRs (which Unaco took out at the end) into a burnt wreck which nevertheless continued to spew out 14mm death! Had a moment when i realised me and Phoenix were the only two left out of our fireteams. I was just informing him of this when i was plinked in the head.
One question there: What the hell were those BTRs made of?!
Swept LE Adversarial
Had some trouble hearing Tigershark in this one, unfortunately so spent the first part of this severely confused! I did manage to get a firing position eventually, alongside Pirate and kept heads down on the South West hills (may even have got some kills) before getting hammered from i-don`t-know-where!
Ride of the Valkyries
My least favourite mission of the night play-wise, but i did enjoy the significant time i spent spectating. I felt quite effective in this, suppressing and killing, moving up with Foxtrot and Echo. We got too focussed on the hummer and i took a round or two. Thanks to Concrete, who managed to revive me before we took heavy calibre fire and both of us died. Good mission.
Spent this one moving around with Null, who very kindly eased me navigation dilemmas with waypoints to squads in need of medical attention. I was making a difference there, right up until i was catapulted into a rock!
Overall, a friendly, enjoyable experience. Thanks again and special thanks to Null for the game reminder and invite.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - When it's a matter of life or death, TraumaOne medial transport helicopters often come to the rescue.
And now for those in Jacksonville's surrounding counties, help can arrive faster.
Shands Jacksonville Medical Center recently changed companies it contracts with for air ambulances and increased the contract from two helicopters in the area to three. The choppers used to be based in Jacksonville and Lake City but now fly out of Yulee, St. Augustine and Lake City, forming a triangle of care.
"By being here, based here, we can knock off 18 to 20 minutes," TraumaOne pilot John Barber said.
"The problem was that we were having to leave here, fly there, pick up the patient, fly back," TraumaOne manager Chad McIntyre said. "Now, we're already there. So we have a two- to three-minute response time versus a 15-20 minute response time."
McIntyre says traditional ambulances work best in most Jacksonville areas because they can get people to the hospital in little time. But the helicopters are most needed outside of the city, where driving may take too long.
When it comes to trauma helicopters, every second counts, and rescuers are saying that having more helicopters in more areas is sure to save lives.
"We know that we will be able to decrease morbidity and mortality," McIntosh said. "Time-sensitive cases such as stroke, heart attack and trauma, the most important thing is to get them to a facility that can manage their patients quickly."
Rescuers say the biggest perk of the new locations is the shorter response times, but another great part of the partnership is the fact that they have three brand new helicopters fitted with the most state-of-the-art medical equipment.
Shands has partnered with Flagler Hospital in St. Augustine, where one of the helicopters is based, along with a 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week crew.
"Even if it's one patient that doesn't die because we're providing this service, then it's a great thing for the county," said Guillermo Pierluisi, emergency services manager at Flagler Hospital.

TAMPA, Fla. –The Saint Leo women's basketball team (8-7, 3-2 SSC) knocked off No. 15 Tampa by a score of 64-44 from Bob Martinez Athletics Center on Wednesday evening. Behind a stellar performance from Teresa Manigrasso, the Lions built a huge lead in the first half and never took their foot off the pedal.
Manigrasso contributed a game-high 23 points for the Lions, as well as five assists and five rebounds. Keishara Green and Chelsea Williams both flirted with double-doubles, as Green scored nine points and added seven rebounds while Williams finished with seven points and seven rebounds. Chelsea Connelly once again had great night on the glass, this time grabbing eight rebounds and dishing out six assists.
The Lions came out playing with a purpose to start the game and quickly quieted the Tampa crowd after getting out to a 16-0 lead to start the game. Manigrasso was shooting the lights out the gym in the first half, as she 8-10 from the field and 3-4 from the behind the arc for 19 points to help the Lions enter the halftime break with a 40-15 lead. The Lions shot a remarkable 62 percent from the field in the first half, including going 8-10 from three-point range. The Lions defensive presence was felt as well, forcing 13 turnovers on six steals, and blocking six shots. Saint Leo also held Tampa to just 23 percent shooting in the first period.
In the second half Jessee's squad, knowing the game was far from over, came out with just as much intensity as the first half and continued to maintain a comfortable lead for the first 10 minutes of the half. After a Tampa run that cut the Saint Leo lead to 14 at 52-38, the Lions went on a rally of their own and got the lead back up 21 less than two minutes later. The Lions remained in control for the remainder of the game and cruised to their third SSC win.
For the game the Lions shot 45 percent from the field and 53 percent from behind the arc (7-14).
The win for the Lions marks the first time Saint Leo has won at Tampa since 2003.
The Saint Leo women's basketball team gets back in action on Saturday, Jan. 19 when they host the Florida Tech Panthers. Tipoff is scheduled for 2:00 p.m.

Bob's big beef was with mobile run-ins and
overs with pot holes. As for myself, I haven't seen too many potholes on
my routes that weren't in place last fall. I will say that the entrance
to the parking lot behind 224 E. Main, Ottawa, is a pretty jarring
ride, up and down, as is the alley itself. I don't know what's going on
with my car, but I'll soon find out. It was new to me last spring, so I
sincerely hope it's nothing terminal. When I bought it, I was looking at
fuel efficiency and something that would be conducive to loading two
pot-bellied pigs for bimonthly veterinary visits. The gas mileage is
good. The hatch opens nice and wide, the rear seat folds down and that
hatch slams closed quickly enough that, once in, the more spry of the
pigs is secured for the ride. Grocery bags can fit snuggling in the
front seat with enough space between produce and snout that I can make
it home with apples and carrots still in the bag.
The problem with
the car is that it sits low to the road. This was not the winter for
that. On more than one occasion I had to get down on my hands and knees
to shovel, kick and punch compacted snow out from beneath the under
carriage just so I could move forward, backward or in any direction at
all. Round about the middle of February I noticed a lot of vehicle
vibration beginning at 30 mph. I figured it was ice packed in the wheel
wells. A trip through the car wash didn't help much because both wax and
water immediately froze. I drove out of the bay encased in an icy
Now the snow drifts are gone, replaced by flash floods and
mud, slimy muck on either side of the road that would slickly suck my
little car into an abyss of subsoil if I leave the asphalt. Whatever is
ailing my auto must be corrected since, as of the last snow-related tow
in March, my AAA roadside emergency assistance is maxed out. Here's
hoping the weather holds until Dec. 31.

Just received a press release from Dominic Hayhoe of Forces War Records about the launch of a their new digital library of historic documents, books, newspapers and magazines, some more than a hundred years old.
Dominic Hayhoe from Forces War Records said "Whilst we've been adding records as fast as we can to the main site, we've collated a huge amount of books, newspapers and magazines that although they don't have name records in, are invaluable for research purposes with details about regiments, battles, medals, individual daring escapades and general interest stories.
Some of these magazines alone are almost a hundred years old and not only did we feel our members would love to read them, but that they were also a national treasure that shouldn't be lost. Now we have digitised them, they will be available for ever more".
He went on to say "In addition, as ever, we haven't just added these to our site, but we have also automatically crossed matched them with all our other data, so if you perform a search for a relative on the site who say served in The Royal Tank Regiment, our system will automatically look to see if we have any articles related to the regiment your ancestor served in as well."

Fostera PCV MH — the first and only one-bottle, one-dose combination vaccine that helps protect swine from porcine circovirus-associated disease (PCVAD) and enzootic pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyo) — is now available from Zoetis. With its one-dose or two-dose protocol, the innovative formulation of Fostera PCV MH offers convenience and flexibility to swine managers.
In clinical research studies of the one- and two-dose protocols, Fostera PCV MH has been demonstrated to aid in preventing viremia, lymphoid depletion and colonization of lymphoid tissue caused by PCV2; and as an aid in reducing PCV2 virus shedding and enzootic pneumonia caused by M. hyo.1-4 In a real-world, dual-challenge study, Fostera PCV MH helped demonstrate effective control of PCVAD and helped reduce PCV2 viremia in vaccinated pigs, allowing those pigs to sustain favorable growth.5 Pigs vaccinated with Fostera PCV MH exhibited improved average daily gain (ADG) up to 4.5% (tracked from processing to market) compared with the control group.
Convenience and flexibility in one bottle
While other combination vaccines require two doses or field mixing, the unique one-bottle formulation of Fostera PCV MH allows the convenience of a one-dose protocol or the flexibility of a two-dose protocol. For healthy pigs 3 weeks of age or older, Fostera PCV MH is licensed for administration in either of two ways:
A single 2 mL intramuscular (IM) dose
Two 1 mL IM doses spaced two weeks apart
"During development, we addressed multiple technical issues, such as the need for field mixing or requiring two doses, that can impact safety, efficacy and ease of use," explained Darrell Neuberger, DVM, Pork Technical Services, Zoetis. "The primary problem we faced involved a compatibility issue when the M. hyo and PCV components were mixed together."
Built from the ground up
When the M. hyo component is grown, it likely contains PCV antibodies, which can affect the potency of the PCV fraction when the two fractions are combined. To help solve the incompatibility problem, Zoetis looked to a technique used successfully in human medicine called Protein A chromatography, which is used to purify antibodies for human medicines. To develop Fostera PCV MH, scientists used Protein A chromatography to help remove the PCV antibodies from the vaccine's M. hyo fraction.
Fostera PCV MH is available in 50- and 250-dose vials and can be purchased through your veterinarian or animal health retailer. For more information on Fostera PCV MH, visit zoetisus.com/FosteraPCVMH or visit with your veterinarian or local Zoetis representative.

I remember when HAMBURGERS
Used to be prepared with high quality, fresh ground beef and cooked over charcoal, not fried, "flame broiled", or microwaved. Those were the days when you orderd French Fries you got fresh, hand-cut potatoes cooked just like the chip trucks used to. Indeed asking for a milkshake meant you could rely on getting a generous portion of premium ice cream with real vanilla and real whipped cream. Unfortunately, over the years, that trust has been broken by chain restaurants as they continue to place a higher value on speed, marketing and cost "control" than they do on product quaility.
We decided it was time to take a step back to the simple life, before we all got so busy and everything became so "efficient". Thats why we created Dick's neighbourhood Drive-In. Dick's is a casual burger and malt shop for all ages. We start with the best quality products like Angus Pride beef for our hamburgers and fresh "pure bred" hot dogs made for us by Ottawa's own Sausage Kitchen.
We call them "pure bred" because you will never find any preservatives, nitrates, MSG or filler in any of our products. Our goal is simple - we want to earn your business by serving better quality food.
Welcome back to the 'good old days'. I know you will enjoy the difference!

Hello all,
I am interested in bumping down the h3 element at the bottom of the page here, but the h3 will not respond to any top or bottom margins or padding, but it will move left to right with either margin or padding? Why is this? Why am I struggling to move this downward 10 px?
You need to add a bit more top margin to get the h3 to push off what's above. Try something like margin-top: 25px;
Well, it looks like it's still staying put. I tried margin-top:5000px to prove my point, and it still doesn't move. Perhaps this has something to do with the absolutely positioned span with the image on top of it we know as my emailbox?
Hm, works for me in testing, but I only tried it in Chrome. What browser did you try it in? And just to confirm, are we talking about the "Return to top" text?
I tried it in IE8 and Firefox. I am still not seeing any changes in either browser.
Works perfectly for me in FF too. Again, are we talking about the same thing? What code are you using? You could either apply a class to the h3 or just use an inline style (at least for testing purposes).
I tried it in IE8 and Firefox. I am still not seeing any changes in either browser.
Do you suppose you could entertain us with a couple of screen shots showing what you see vs what you would like to see?It would help.
Try the following changes.
Line 6, ADD overflow:hidden; CHANGE the margin-bottom
#textcontainer {
margin-bottom:84px; (change to "0")
overflow:hidden; (this is an ADD.)
Line 146, CHANGE the line-height
.headtitle {
font-family:"Lucida Console", Monaco, monospace;
border-bottom:2px groove #000;
line-height:38px; (change to "1" with no unit of measure)
Enjoy readjusting your page.
Here is a screenshot of what I am seeing with those new changes, which I am seeing no change. What I want to do is very miniscule, almost trivial, but this is weird that just a bit of margin won't move those orange links at the bottom down about 10px. This screenshot was taken of IE8, but it looks the same in Mozilla.
It has been three hours and the screenshot still hasn't been "approved". Maybe a link to a screenshot(s) hosted on your server would be better. Also, since I am testing with Firefox and IE8, it is probable that my view will match your screenshot; therefore, an image (albeit done with a paint program) of what you wish to see would be more helpful. Such comparisons help us help you.
The css in the example link that you provided is unchanged. Have you updated it with the changes?
Since my previous post may be misleading, here it is again with the recommended changes in RED.
Line 6, ADD overflow:hidden, CHANGE the margin-bottom
#textcontainer {
margin-bottom:0px; (was "84px")
overflow:hidden; (this is an ADD.)
.headtitle {
font-family:"Lucida Console", Monaco, monospace;
border-bottom:2px groove #000;
line-height:1; (was "38px")
Ah, well, you can't blame Sitepoint for the approval process.
Here's a link to the screenshot.
I did exactly what you indicated in your post, but I haven't uploaded the changes yet. I'm still in front of my desk at my regular job.
The "screenshot" is significantly reduced in size (smaller than an actual screen capture) so it is not useful for counting pixels. However, the proportions look approximately the same as my on-line view of your test page.
Since you are expecting the space above the
 element to change, you will also have to make the following changes:
h3 {
margin-top:12px;
margin-right:140px; (this was moved from h3 a below)
h3 a {
Let us know when the test page has been updated.
This has solved this issue. Weird how this worked out, but I think I'm learning stuff. I did update the files for you to see. Thank you for the help, Ronpat!
You're very welcome. Thanks for the feedback. Good luck in the future.

International Conference on General Relativity, Pune, India, Dec. 1997.
The greatest scientific influences in his career were his interactions with his thesis advisor, Peter Bergmann, and his early meeting, interaction, collaboration and friendship with Roger Penrose.
His paper with Penrose on the spin-coefficient formalism has been extremely influential. His research has centered on the properties of null objects; null coordinates, null tetrads, null surfaces, null geodesic congruences and their relationship to the Einstein field equations. This has lead to new solutions, the theory of H-space and the reconstruction of space-time from null surfaces - among other results. He has remained active since retirement. Since his retirement in 1996 he has published close to 30 papers. His present interest lies in a strange relationship, seen via null geodesic congruences, that exists between the asymptotic behavior of the gravitational field and equations of motions. Aside from his family, friends and physics, his interests have been in classical music and wilderness hiking even into his 80s.

Just add tequila, margarita mix, and lime juice. Push a button, and you've got 16 margaritas in minutes! Great for parties. Can also be used to make any other type of smoothie. Vodka, orange juice, and ice, perhaps?
Icebox cookies are really just extra-pretty sugar cookies.

Icebox cookies are really just extra-pretty sugar cookies. Before baking, the dough is flattened, rolled into logs, chilled, and sliced-steps kids can have fun doing themselves with your supervision. * 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter * 1 3/4 cups sugar * 1 teaspoon salt * 2 eggs, plus an extra egg white for "glue" * 3 teaspoons pure vanilla extract * 5 cups flour, plus more for work surface * 2/3 cup milk * 1/4 cup cocoa powder * Food coloring, in various colors * TOOLS * Electric mixer * Mixing bowls * Measuring cups * Measuring spoons * Rubber spatula * Plastic wrap * Parchment or waxed paper * Rolling pin * Bench scraper or butter knife * Ruler * Pastry brush * Cardboard paper-towel tubes, cut open lengthwise * Key tags and crayons * Dental floss or thread * Baking sheets * Metal spatula * Wire cooling rack Directions 1. Using the electric mixer, mix the butter and the sugar until creamy. 2. Add the eggs and the salt, and mix well. 3. Beat in milk and vanilla. 4. Add flour a little at a time, mixing it in until all of it has been incorporated. 5. Divide the dough into balls -- one for each color. 6. For chocolate dough, add cocoa (1/4 cup is enough to flavor half a batch). Mix well with electric mixer. 7. For colored dough, start with 1/4 teaspoon food coloring, and mix well. Add more in tiny amounts for darker colors. Gel-paste coloring can be intense, so add it gradually. 8. Wrap each ball of dough in its own sheet of plastic wrap; pat flat into a rectangle. Refrigerate at least one hour or until ready to use. 9. Parchment or waxed paper makes a good work surface. Sprinkle generously with flour, then roll out each piece of dough 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick to make the swirls; you can use thicker layers for the bull's-eyes. 10. The bench scraper is a good tool for trimming dough's edges to make them even. The egg white, brushed on with a pastry brush, will act as a glue, making the layers stick together. 11. For center, with your hands, roll chocolate dough into a 1/2- to 1 1/2- inch-thick rod; chill 20 minutes. Place rod on edge of rolled-out dough that's been brushed with egg white. 12. Roll rod inside sheet of dough. Cut the dough where it meets up. Seal by pinching and pressing gently. Chill 20 minutes, then repeat to add other layers. To decorate, go to step 7, or jump to step 8 for plain. 13. For spirals, measure and trim two or more colors of dough to same size. Brush on egg white, then stack layers. Brush top with egg white. Starting at one end, roll up the dough. 14. Smooth and straighten the layers as you roll them so there are no gaps, then gently pinch and press the edge of the roll to seal it. Now the dough is ready to decorate. If you want plain cookies, skip to step 18. 15. Add your favorite toppings (try coconut, colored sanding sugar, chopped nuts, or chocolate sprinkles): Spread topping in baking sheet, brush dough with egg white, and roll the log in topping. 16. Roll each log in parchment or waxed paper; twist the ends of the paper closed. To help the logs keep their round shape, set each in a cardboard paper-towel roll that you have sliced open lengthwise. 17. To remember what colors you have already used, with crayons, draw the designs onto key tags; tie the tags onto the paper covering the logs. Chill logs until they are solid, about 1 1/2 hours. 18. Cut 15 inches of dental floss (or double thickness of thread). Let log soften for about 10 minutes. Remove parchment. Wrap floss around log and pull through. Make the slices thin: 1/4 inch or less. 19. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place slices on an ungreased baking sheet (lined with parchment paper). A grown-up should bake the cookies 12 to 15 minutes, until firm but not browned. Let cool on baking sheet for several minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/3/2013 (1607 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Jeremy Piven has something new to sell. The big question, of course, is this: will anybody buy it?
Piven, who toiled for years as an underappreciated commodity -- in the likes of The Larry Sanders Show, Ellen (the ABC sitcom, not the daytime talk show) and Cupid -- got a career-defining break when he landed the role of super-agent Ari Gold in the HBO comedy Entourage.
Brash, loud and endlessly profane, Ari Gold was a character that allowed Piven to steal every scene he was in; three supporting-actor Emmys later, it might fairly be suggested that the actor and the character have become inextricably linked in many TV-watchers' minds.
So what to do next? Piven has clearly decided the best place to make his return to prime time is as far from the gritty and racy realm of premium-cable programming as possible.
And that place, it turns out, is the proper world of Brit-flavoured PBS/Masterpiece drama.
Piven stars in the new Masterpiece Classic series Mr. Selfridge (which premières Sunday at 9 p.m. on Prairie Public TV), taking on the title role as Harry Gordon Selfridge, the American-born founder of the renowned London department store that bears his name.
As the series opens, Selfridge is holding court with a gaggle of newspaper reporters beside a giant hole in the ground that he claims will soon be London's most popular retail destination.
There is skepticism, of course (along with a whispered declaration by Selfridge's primary financial backer that he's backing out), but Harry Selfridge is a dreamer, a huckster and a ruthless promoter of his entrepreneurial vision.
Despite a lack of actual cash to keep the project running, Selfridge somehow delivers on his promise of opening the store within a year's time. After that, all that's left is the tricky business of getting Londoners into the store and their wallets out of their pockets and handbags.
How it's all done turns out to be a fairly captivating period-piece romp, aided by strong supporting performances by Frances O'Connor as Selfridge's long-suffering wife, Rose; Zoe Tapper as London showgirl Ellen Love, whom Harry woos to become "the face of Selfridge's"; and Aisling Loftus as shopgirl Agnes Towler, whose life is changed by a chance meeting with Selfridge.
If there's a problem, sadly, it's Piven. He's either restraining himself in this role, or Harry is written as so restrained that it's stifling the actor's every impulse. Either way, Mr. Selfridge never quite feels like a vehicle whose star is fully immersed in his character.
And that makes Mr. Selfridge, despite other appealing elements, a bit of a hard sell.

Re-call the midwives: One of PBS's most popular imports from last year makes its overdue return this weekend when Call the Midwife rolls out its second season with an extended eight-episode run (Sunday at 8 p.m. on PPTV).
The young nurses of Nonnatus House are a year older and more experienced, but the challenges of midwifery in London's hardscrabble East End are more daunting than ever.
In a very compelling season opener, Jenny Lee (Jessica Raine) risks the wrath of the nuns by helping out an old friend named Jimmy, while Trixie heads into uncharted waters -- literally -- when she's called to deal with a risky birth aboard a visiting Swedish trawler.
Equal parts charming and gut-wrenchingly dramatic, Call the Midwife remains one of TV's real scripted-drama treasures. Put it on your must-see list.

Game time: It's hard to imagine Game of Thrones returning with bigger stakes and greater ambitions, but then again, this is a series born of most magnificent imagination, so why not aim high?
The acclaimed HBO fantasy drama, based on novels by George R. R. Martin, opens its third season on Sunday (HBO Canada, preceded by a repeat of last season's finale, check listings for times) with much more of the trademark swordplay, skullduggery, sex, magic, mythical-creature menagerie and madly ambitious kingdom-building that made it a hit with genre-obsessed fans during its first two seasons.
It's hard to encapsulate the complex tangle of storylines in a few paragraphs, so newcomers to the series face a daunting task getting up to speed. The feud between siblings Tyrion and Cersei Lannister (Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey) is one of the drama's centrepieces, and it's about to get ugly.
Among the notable newcomers to the series are Ciarán Hinds (Rome) as northern warlord Mance Rayder and Brit acting legend Diana Rigg (The Avengers) as Lady Olenna Tyrell, grandmother to Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer).
There are many more new characters to meet, and an endless number of storyline possibilities to be considered as this beautifully crafted and meticulously detailed saga resumes. But for fans of the epic-fantasy genre, TV doesn't get any better than this.

You are here: Home → Forum Home → Bumblebee forums → Bumblebee nests → Thread
The queens are not like honey bees who leave the colony when they become overcrowded and some leave with a new queen in search of a new nest site, (swarming). This is not the case. Once settled inside the queen stays to lay eft till she dies. The colony may live for 6 weeks or so.
This is very true. Unlike most other bees & wasps, honey-bees do not hibernate (this is why they make an excess of honey for winter fuel). Their strategy for reproduction is also different, rather than creating a batch of queens to survive the winter alone, the colony splits; the current queen will leave with about 60% of the flying bees and as much honey as they can carry. The (yet to emerge) new queen left in the hive will "take over" the colony (queens don't rule). If the weather is fine, she will leave on a mating flight after a few days of emerging. If further queens are produced, she will leave too, usually as a small swarm known as a cast (often not much bigger than your fist). Some colonies will eject many casts. I've known them to take up residence in bird boxes!
Brilliant bird (box) brick design - http://www.dezeen.com/2013/07/16/bird-brick-by-aaron-dunkerton/
Now, where's the version with a bumble bee sized hole..?
New here so apologies if this is very old news.
These seem to work, I will certainly be setting up something similar for the spring.
I bought a Schwegler Bumblebee box ( german, woodcrete, expensive), about 12 years ago. After no interest for 8 years, I moved it to a different location - base of a south facing fence, under overhanging ivy. It has been used for the last 3 summers, and I have not cleaned it out yet. Next year I am going to take some of the bedding and try it in another box to see if this attracts furher nesting.

With many grower-shippers reporting difficulty finding enough trucks, rail should continue to be an attractive option for getting Treasure Valley onions to market.
"We used rail a lot last year, and it was very successful," said Kay Riley, general manager of Nyssa, Ore.-based Snake River Produce Inc.
"If anything, (rail) will grow."
Snake River uses Union Pacific cars that stop at the siding behind the company as well as Railex cars, Riley said. With Railex, onions are trucked to Wallula, Wash., then put on cars that take them to the East Coast.
In the past, Riley and other area shippers found rail service out of the Treasure Valley to be severely lacking. Service has improved dramatically, though, and cars are now refrigerated.
Snake River, for instance, used to ship maybe 10 loads of onions out by Union Pacific trains. Now, between Union Pacific and Railex, the number is approaching 100.
Not only has rail service improved dramatically, Riley said, but the deterioration of the trucking industry also has played a big role in shippers' looking more and more to rail.
"We have a chronic transportation situation," Riley said, referring to frequent shortages.
"The whole system is on a just-in-time basis."
It wouldn't take much, Riley said, for that whole system to break down. The trouble started during the recession, when thousands of truckers got off the roads for good, Riley said.
"So many went out of business, and they haven't come back," he said.
Bob Komoto, sales manager for Ontario, Ore.-based Ontario Produce Co. Inc., said it's not high fuel costs that are driving valley shippers to rail.
"Trucks are just plain short," he said. "You take what's available."
Railroad rates were highly competitive in 2010, and as a result, more onions shipped by rail out of the Treasure Valley than in previous years, said John Wong, sales manager for Parma, Idaho-based Champion Produce Inc.
New refrigeration systems, installed about five years ago, make rail a much more attractive option, he said.
"We're on the main line of the Union Pacific, which is quite an advantage price-wise," Wong said.
That said, it's hard to anticipate what rates will be in the coming season, and how much Champion and other shippers will choose rail over trucks, Wong said.
Railex isn't as attractive an option as standard railroad service, Wong said. With the added freight cost to truck onions to Wallula before they're loaded onto Railex cars, trucking is often a comparably priced option.
But Champion is still happy to have Railex as an option.
"It's definitely a nice avenue to have in November and December when there are truck shortages," Wong said.
Some Treasure Valley grower-shippers, however, are less optimistic on rail.
Grant Kitamura, president of Ontario-based Murakami Produce Co., said rail shipments tend to end at terminal markets. Murakami, however, likes to ship straight to its end users.
"We ship a few by rail, but the vast majority are by truck," he said.
"It's the makeup of our customer base."

Regency Chess News
The Regency Chess Company Moves To New Premises
August 2010 saw the biggest development in the history of The Regency Chess Company. Due to our rapid expansion over recent months we desperately needed more space. We have now moved our entire operation into one central warehouse just ten miles from Bath city centre. Our new facility features a warehouse, pick and pack area, offices, photographic studio and best of all, a showroom! The showroom is the only one of it's kind in the UK, on display we have a multitude of chess sets, boards, pieces, travel chess sets. It's a great opportunity for customers to come and see our products in all their glory and to find out for themselves that our chess pieces really are the best they will find in the UK and Europe. Customers have been visiting from far and wide, the furthest traveller drove all the way from Stoke to buy his luxury chess set. Our business premises features free customer parking and is easy to find from the A36.
Another great benefit to our excellent new premises is that we are located just a few meters away from our local Fed Ex depot. This makes it even easier for us to be the best performing online chess retailer when it comes to delivery times and customer service. All order are dispatched same day using a next working day service, and now that we can dispatch later in the day than any of our competitors we are the best choice for those of you who need your chess set in a hurry.
Our extensive warehouse means we are able to stock a bigger and better selection of chess products. We already have the best selection of chess boards in the UK and carry extensive stocks of all wood types and sizes. Our ability to import chess products in much larger bulk gives us the advantage over most of our competitors. All of the products shown on our website are stocked at our new premises, so viewing your chess set before you buy has never been easier.
The Regency Chess Company funds charity skydive event
The Regency Chess Company was proud to be the main sponsor of a charity skydiving event to raise funds for the specialist cardiac unit at St Mary's Hospital, Charing Cross, Hammersmith. The unit is hugely effective in treating urgent cases and saves many lives that would otherwise be lost to heat disease. The lucky jumper was Ms Shelley Williams who's father was treated at the unit in 2008 when doctors discovered that his arteries were extremely blocked. Thanks to the specialist skills and resources at the unit Roydon Williams made a full recovery.
The Regency Chess Company contributed all necessary funds in order to pay for the skydive and organise transport to the parachute center. This meant that every last penny that was donated could be sent to the charity itself instead of any portion going to pay for the skydive. Thanks to Shelley's extensive fund raising activities a total of £1200 was raised with a further £200 pledged once the event had taken place. Regency Chess director Julian Deverell couldn't resist getting involved in the jump and can be seen tagging along in the photos and videos wearing his trademark bright red jump suit. A huge thank you goes out to John Bagwell who strapped a very nervous Shelley to himself and fell out of the plane, The Army Parachute Association and of course Big Phil Elston who caught the whole thing on camera.
The Regency Chess Company Supply Custom Made Chess set to Sir Patrick Moore
In early February 2009 we were contacted by Andrew Watkinson Trim from King Edwards School in Bath. He explained that the school had embarked on the project of sourcing a very special chess set for Patrick Moore, the world famous astronomer. Patrick required a pegged chess set that he could play without fear of the chess men being knocked over, something that had plagued him because of his arthritis. Full sized pegged chess sets are not commercially available so after some head scratching we decided to offer the school one of our luxury chess boards and a set of Staunton Chess pieces that would then be modified to the specifications that Patrick had requested.
One of our 23 inch Rosewood chess boards and a set of Broadbase ebony chess men were carefully adapted by the schools DT department. They did an excellent job, holes were drilled in the solid wooden board and wooden pegs fitted into the base of the chess pieces. The board was then returned to us for precise counter sinking of the holes and refinishing and polishing. The school then added a brass plaque to the board with a message to Patrick engraved on it.
The end result was a beautiful chess set that is truly a one off piece of craftsmanship. When the boys from the school presented it to Patrick it had the desired effect, immediately he started to play a game of chess with them. It seemed none of us could bear the thought of someone with such a great mind not being able to play chess for such a simple reason. Everyone concerned was delighted that this customised chess set will allow Patrick to play chess once again. The Regency Chess Company is proud to have been involved in this project and we wish Patrick many happy games of chess on the new set.
This project would never have happened without the dedication of Andrew Watkinson Trim of King Edward School, Bath. Below are some words from him about the project:-
The idea was simple enough. Sir Patrick Moore wanted a large chess set, modified with holes in the squares and pegs on the bottom of the pieces; so that his arthritis would no longer hinder his ability to enjoy this great game. Here in Bath, King Edward's School Astronomical Society began the quest to find a supplier of a top-quality chess set who was willing to see their expensive equipment drilled and modified to suit Sir Patrick's requirements. This would be no ordinary chess set, and it would be provided by no ordinary supplier. The Regency Chess Company was the obvious and prestigious choice for Bath's oldest school, and once Julian Deverell heard our plans he was unstinting in his help and enthusiasm for the project visiting the school with examples of boards and pieces, providing drawings and suggestions for construction, and finally offering to donate both chess pieces and board when he realized that we were paying for the gift out of our student society budget. Thank you, Julian! Here at school we drilled and pegged and stained and polished and engraved the presentation plaque.' Julian kindly arranged the final touch-up and polish that transformed the chess set into a magnificent gift.' And so it was off to the home of the great scientist and astronomer, to present him with the chess set and to tour his observatories and to talk chess and stars over lunch.' Patrick was utterly delighted with the gift and immediately engaged some of our students in a few quick games: it was clear this beautiful set was going to be used as well as displayed. All in all a wonderful gift for a one-off international scientist from a one-off caring company: genius all round!

From MEPIS Documentation Wiki
smxi , as the developer h2 says, is "a general utility script that handles the standard system upkeep for Debian Sid (and Sid based, distros like sidux), Debian Testing, and Debian Stable - kernel installs, dist-upgrade/upgrade, package installs, cleanup, and graphics install." It comes pre-installed in antiX-M7.5 and later versions and can be used successfully on MEPIS-8.0 and later versions, and makes many procedures automatic.
Smxi also includes the handy hardware listing script, Inxi.
To get this, open Konsole, become root and type or copy and paste:
cd /usr/local/bin && wget -Nc smxi.org/smxi.zip && unzip smxi.zip
see: http://smxi.org/site/install.htm#install-with-zip
Running the script
The script requires a working internet connection and MUST be run out of X, the window system used by MEPIS. There are several ways to get out of X desktop and start smxi. This is the recommended way:
- Ctrl-Alt-F1 will drop you out of X desktop to a command line prompt
- Login as root
- Type smxi
As the script runs, you will be asked a number of questions about your preferences for the system configuration--pay attention!
Each time the script is run it will check to see if it is the most current version and will update itself automatically. This will provide you with the latest bug fixes and new features for smxi.
Included with smxi is the graphics driver installer known as sgfxi. It can also be downloaded as a separate script. Like smxi, sgfxi is normally run outside of X desktop, see the 'Usage' section below. In some cases it maybe necessary to partially run sgfxi from the X Desktop, see the 'Partial install in X, completion outside of X method' section.
Installation (sgfxi)
If you are not installing smxi, and only want to install sgfxi: open Konsole, become root and type or copy and paste
cd /usr/local/bin && wget -Nc smxi.org/sgfxi && chmod +x sgfxi
see: http://smxi.org/site/install.htm#install-single-scripts
Usage (sgfxi)
NOTE: Sgfxi requires a working internet connection! Some wireless internet connections may be dropped when operating outside of X. If this applies to your internet connection either temporarily switch over to a wired internet connection before proceeding or use the 'Partial install in X, completion outside of X method' instructions in the next section below.
sgfxi allows the automatic installation of video drivers such as NVIDIA and ATI . It is the recommended way to install video drivers with Mepis 8.0, 8.5 & 11.0.
- Ctrl-Alt-F1 {this will drop you out of X desktop to a command line prompt}
- Login as root
- Type sgfxi
The sgfxi script automatically downloads and installs the kernel headers and every thing else it needs. This script downloads the binary graphic driver installers from either nvidia or ATI, prepares system, installs, then sets up xorg.conf, all in a fairly clean, reasonably intuitive way. Plus it updates itself so any new drivers released will be installed. Finally, sgfxi allows you to easily switch between proprietary non free drivers like ATI's fglrx and nVidia's nvidia driver and the free xorg drivers.
sgfxi can be run with numerous options. Enter sgfxi -h to see all the options and check the sgfxi Manual at the documentation links below.
Partial install in X, completion outside of X method (sgfxi)
Some wireless internet connections may be dropped when leaving X. If this applies to your wireless connection, sgxfi can be partially run from the X desktop by using it's -X option.
Open Konsole and run the command below
su -c 'if [ ! -e /etc/X11/xorg.conf ]; then touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf; fi && sgfxi -X'
Using the 'X' option causes sgfxi to download and install kernel headers, build-essential packages and the correct ATI or NVIDIA installer script while running within X. Sgfxi will eventually error out when running the ATI or NVIDIA installer scripts, but by then all packages needed to build the ATI or NVIDIA driver have been downloaded and installed. The remainder of the installation process can be completed outside of X, without an internet connection.
Complete the installation by:
- Ctrl-Alt-F1 {this will drop you out of X desktop to a command line prompt}
- Login as root
- Type sgfxi -W
The -W option causes sgfxi to skip all downloads (everything has already been downloaded) and complete the installation process without an internet connection.

Hello, I am User:Elecbullet. I am very active in the international community, in finding foreign wikis and having them linked to the English wiki. I was approached by a user to have the Polish and Bulgarian Pokémon wikis interlanguage linked- you may find the conversation here. I very much prefer to have the permission of the English wiki's administrators, however, so I went ahead and created a list of foreign-language Pokémon wikis, you may find it at User:Elecbullet/Interlanguage links. It's more in-depth than DaNASCAT's list from a previous thread, bless his heart.
What I want to do
I ask for an administrator to allow me to do the following:
1. Link Polish and Bulgarian wiki - urgent
The Polish wiki at w:c:pokemony is very large, as is the Bulgarian wiki at w:c:bg.seviland-encyclopedia.
- pl: w:c:pokemony (statistics) • (articles (2405)) • (recent) • (users)
- bg: w:c:bg.seviland-encyclopedia (statistics) • (articles (862)) • (recent) • (users)
With your permission, I want to have these two wikis linked here. Going by the Main Page, this should be uncontroversial: both wikis are linked to on the Main Page, but not correctly in the software.
I don't think this should be very controversial because it's just two wikis linked two ways, plus the alliances are already there on the Main Page. This is what I was specifically asked to do, so if I can get a quick response on this particular thing it would be great.
2. Create new links
If you take a look at my list of unlinked wikis, there are quite a few. Besides the Bulgarian and Polish wikis, the Dutch (nl:), Norwegian (no:), Russian (ru:), Turkish (tr:), Chinese (zh:), and Hong Kong dialect Chinese (zh-hk:) wikis look promising.
- nl: w:c:nl.pokemon (statistics) • (articles (195)) • (recent) • (users)
- no: w:c:no.pokemon (statistics) • (articles (45)) • (recent) • (users)
- ru: w:c:ru.pokemon (statistics) • (articles (172)) • (recent) • (users)
- tr: w:c:tr.pokemon (statistics) • (articles (14)) • (recent) • (users)
- zh: w:c:zh.pocketmonsters (statistics) • (articles (46)) • (recent) • (users)
- zh-hk: w:c:zh-hk.pokemon (statistics) • (articles (13)) • (recent) • (users)
See the full list
I would like to ask your permission to have the six wikis in the small list above linked to the English wiki, and to every other wiki in the international Pokémon wiki family.
Of course, it's up to you what links you permit. Personally I would link every wiki in the list (though only one from each language is permitted- note the bolding). I'm not here to argue policies, though, so I will do whatever the administrator asks of me- even if I'm asked not to perform any links.
3. Standardize links
Interlanguage links are wiki-to-wiki, one way in the most basic form. This wiki links correctly to the Catalan wiki, and to the Romanian wiki, but the Catalan wiki does not correctly link to the Romanian wiki.
I would like to refresh the existing links by creating every possible link between wikis to eliminate these problems. This will basically standardize the existing system, so that an interwiki link that works here will work on the Finnish wiki or Catalan wiki, and so on. Unless requested, this need not link this particular English wiki to any more wikis than it already is.
Does this sound good?
I hope that I don't confuse anyone. I'd recommend that you leave the organization of any changes to me because I've been doing this for a good long time for a good amount of wikis, and the interwiki link system has recently been revamped, which is important for big-name wikis like this one. In any case, the changes I would like to perform are, again:
- Link the Polish and Bulgarian wikis (response urgent- my specific request)
- Link the Dutch, Norwegian, Russian, Turkish, Chinese, and Hong Kong dialect Chinese wikis (if you want more or less just say so)
- Standardize the interwiki links
If you have any questions, please let me know and I will answer to the best of my ability. Thank you for contributing to the international Pokémon community! Elecbullet (talk) 06:26, December 29, 2012 (UTC)
