Brendan Rodgers on the brink as Liverpool need penalties to see off Carlisle
Liverpool's laboured Capital One Cup penalty shoot-out victory over League Two Carlisle did little to ease the pressure on manager Brendan Rodgers.
Despite the positive of seeing summer signing Danny Ings score for the second successive match, Derek Asamoah equalised in the first half and - despite having 47 shots - the Reds could not add to the 1-1 scoreline over 120 minutes and were taken to spot-kicks.
Another summer signing, Adam Bogdan, came to Rodgers' rescue with three saves as Liverpool won 3-2 in the shoot-out to dash Carlisle's hopes of causing a huge upset at Anfield.
But Rodgers remains under scrutiny - even if the club flatly dismissed reports they had approached veteran Italian and two-time Champions League winner Carlo Ancelotti - and only an upturn of results and performances will start answering many of the questions now being asked of him.
However, first-team coach Gary McAllister believes the spirit within the squad may have been galvanised by having to scrape past a team with the leakiest defence in the fourth tier.
"When it comes to a penalty shoot-out, there is that coming together of players in the middle of the pitch and we've stepped forward and got through," the Scot said after Liverpool booked a fourth-round date at home to Bournemouth.
"We've shown that bit of character and we're delighted for Adam Bogdan, making the saves to get us through.
"Maybe this is one of those little things that can just pull us together as we look forward to the weekend (home game against Aston Villa on Saturday).
"We want to perform better and that is what we are striving to do, to get that rhythm back we've seen in the past.
"It will get better. The feeling is that we are working hard at training, we will persevere and we will try to win games and perform well."
Carlisle manager Keith Curle was proud of his players.
"You are looking at a team which made a lot of friends," he said.

Polls suggest Sen. John McCain is set to win his primary Tuesday. Some voters have been turned off by his attack ads and big spending in the race against J.D. Hayworth. But it has worked.
As the days get shorter the political season is heating up. Primaries Tuesday will affect some of the most interesting races of the year, from Florida's high-profile Senate contest to Arizona Sen. John McCain's bid to survive a challenge from the right. Here's what to look for:
Recent polls show Rep. Kendrick Meek with an increasingly comfortable lead in Florida's Democratic Senate primary. In the GOP gubernatorial primary, state Attorney General Bill McCollum also appears to have an edge.
Sen. John McCain's record as an immigration reformer doesn't seem to match a state that's taking a hardline stance on illegal immigration. But the senator is managing to fend off a challenge from his right ahead of Tuesday's GOP Senate primary in Arizona.
Sarah Palin has endorsed conservative candidates in dozens of Republican primaries this year. But her chosen office-seekers have been mostly unsuccessful. Has Sarah Palin lost touch with the Republican primary voters who make up her base?
With the federal deficit at $1.5 trillion, some voters are balking at politicians who tout a record of securing 'pork barrel' projects.
The Washington Senate seat was the marquee contest of Tuesday's primaries. The incumbent, Patty Murray, will face Republican businessman Dino Rossi in the fall.
Time to change the subject from the ground zero mosque controversy to something else, like jobs and the economy, say Democratic strategists. But the issue continues to draw comments from Democratic candidates.
The California Senate race could hinge on perceptions of how Carly Fiorina and Barbara Boxer will approach the economy and job creation.
Democrats have been taking the offensive, apparently hoping to use Social Security to their advantage as they fight to maintain control of Congress.
A new poll suggests that the Republican Party is actually viewed less positively than the Democratic Party. That doesn't mean the GOP won't make gains in midterm elections. But it does mean Americans will likely give Republicans little time to make an impact.
Governors' races are happening in 37 states in the 2010 election. The candidates focus on different issues depending on their states, but one stands out – state budget deficits.
Former US Rep. Nathan Deal is the GOP nominee for Georgia governor, after 'mama grizzly' Karen Handel concedes. Republican voter turnout was high, indicating an invigorated GOP base.
Tuesday night in the 2010 primaries produced a mixed outcome – establishment victories for the Democrats and tea party victories for the Republicans.
Sarah Palin endorsed Karen Handel in Tuesday's runoff in the Republican primary for Georgia governor. Palin and her fellow 'mama grizzly' have taken aim at the state's GOP establishment.
Surging challenges to two Democratic incumbents – Patty Murray in Washington and Russ Feingold in Wisconsin – are a reason that chances for Republican takeover of the US Senate may be rising in Election 2010.
Polls show both establishment candidates in the Colorado Senate race – Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet and Republican Jane Norton – trailing opponents ahead of Tuesday's primary.
Trillion-dollar annual US deficits are unprecedented, and many voters are alarmed by them. But the public also wants a jobs recovery. How those dual issues will affect Election 2010 races.
Bill Haslam won almost 48 percent of the vote in the Tennessee GOP primary for governor. Like some other Republican moderates, he prevailed over 'tea party' candidates and is self-funded.
Hot-button issues like the California gay marriage ruling have cropped up in the run-up to fall midterms. Then again, the economy is the big issue energizing Republicans.

A DJ friend of Jimmy Savile raped a young schoolgirl and then told her to introduce friends to him who were "goers", a court has heard.
The woman alleges Ray Teret, 72, then aged in his early 30s, took her virginity when she was 12 or 13-years-old in a flat above a record shop in the south Manchester area.
She said she later brought to the shop a number of friends, three of whom the Crown say were also sexually abused by the former DJ at the pirate station Radio Caroline.
In a videoed police interview played to a jury at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court, the woman told detectives: "He used to ask me a lot about introducing friends.
"I brought them into danger, didn't I? Because I took them there to have sex with him.
"He wanted me to introduce 'goers'. The 'goers'. That was a word I remember. 'Up for it'.
"That was when I was like 13 or 14 by then."
She said she had to make sure the girls would not tell anyone about the visits to the shop and would tell her friends they would have a laugh and there would be some good music.
The complainant is one of 17 women who say Teret sexually abused them on various dates across four decades from the 1960s to the 1990s.
One of the alleged victims says she was raped aged 15 by Teret almost immediately after she was raped by Savile in a flat when the defendant had driven her from a disco.
Giving evidence today, the complainant who said she was sexually abused in the flat above the record shop in the early 1970s said she had met Teret there through her love of music.
She said she ended up having sex with Teret about 60 times until she was 15.
She claims that another man, Alan Ledger, also indecently assaulted her in Teret's flat when she was aged 12 or 13 and that he held her down as Teret committed a serious sexual assault on her.
The complainant recalled there was also a wall in Teret's flat with graffiti on it which contained names and phone numbers.
Today, she told the court: "I remember all the scribblings in the hallway. All the telephone numbers and stuff."
The Crown say the complainant became "locked into a world where all values were utterly distorted" where the defendant groomed her loyalty.
The woman described a regular scene of lots of schoolgirls being in the record shop.
The woman said: "They were being picked on in that shop. They were being played in that shop."
Nicholas Johnson, representing Teret, asked: "Are you saying that some of the girls that were going to the shop were looking for sex?"
She replied: "Some of the girls that were going to the shop were having sex. They would disappear. They would have sex, they were having relations with these two creeps."
She said that she was also offered demo records to bring girls to the shop.
The court heard that the woman rang the police to complain about Teret in October 2012 and it was triggered by her anger of media reports about Savile's abuse of "starstruck teenagers", which was a portrayal of the victims she did not agree with.
She said she had reported Teret to the police and the social services in the 1980s but nothing had been done about it.
Mr Johnson asked her about her admission that within days of making the 2012 complaint she had gone online to research the name of the record shop and had looked at a website forum which mentioned Teret was friends with Savile.
She said she did not need to go on the internet to make the link between the pair.
She said: "Teret told me that Savile was a friend. Teret told me that Savile liked little girls."
Teret, of Altrincham, Greater Manchester, denies 18 rapes, two other serious sexual assaults, one attempted rape, 11 indecent assaults and two counts of indecency with a child.
Ledger, 62, from Altrincham, denies a serious sexual assault, two indecent assaults and one count of indecency with a child.
A third defendant, William Harper, 65, of Stretford, denies one count of attempted rape.
The trial continues tomorrow.

Three women, white-haired and clad in billowing tie-dye dresses, enter the building in a flutter of patchouli-scented cloth and plop down $15 each for admission. Behind them, a wispy-bearded teen approaches the doorman.
"Can kids come in?" he asks, completely unabashed. There is a nod. Until entering the festival, I cannot possibly grasp the implication of this exchange -- that "kids" means not only the small girl clinging to her father's hip, but also hundreds of 13-year-old potheads.
In the Hemp Bazaar, the first room on the ground floor, people stroll among a dozen or so hempcentric tables and booths. Hemp purses, twine, hacky sacks, hanging chairs, hammocks, belts, backpacks, water-bottle bags, and clothing are offered by Xochi Hemp and other such companies. In one corner, free 10-minute massages are doled out to kids too young to know the meaning of tension. The Libertarian Party of California passes out pamphlets on sensible drug policies and jury duty. At the Cannabis Action Network table, a heavily tattooed, long-haired beauty wearing a garland of phony marijuana leaves stands over a sign reading "Marijuana users tend to be more open to experience, more esthetically oriented, and more interested in creativity or spontaneity than non-marijuana smokers." The feeling in the room is jubilant, but relaxed, assisted, in part, by a thick cloud of sweet-smelling smoke issuing from folks trying out their new multicolored bongs and hand-carved pipes.
"Please don't take my picture," begs a chubby, greasy-haired girl as her lips curl over her braces in a pout. "My mother would just kill me." Her friends seated on the floor nearby peer at me with bleary eyes. "Hey, how ya doin'?" asks a pale, skinny-necked kid from under an ill-fitting baseball cap. He doesn't wait for an answer. A distant, quiet smile spreads across his face as he focuses his eyes on a spot on the floor two feet away. For nearly five minutes, nothing -- not even a crazy man draped in wooden bongs doing a clattering jig close by -- distracts him from the fascination of the tile floor.
"You know, they're just experimenting," says a clean-cut-looking gent with a cell phone. He tries on a Headcase hat with the ever-popular 420 logo (urban myth has it that 420 was a police code used to denote illegal marijuana use and/or juvenile disturbances, depending on who you ask; it is also the name of the label founded by Oakland-based punk-funk, stoner band Puzzlefish; and the time at which today's festivities began). "I think weed is the first step most teens take at self-delineation. It's one of the first choices we make completely independent of our parents. You remember that feeling, don't you?" The man smiles and takes the hand of his willowy lady friend and picks his way through the entrance hall, which is clogged with giggling skaters, ravers, and Deadheads.
Upstairs, the main dance hall is cool and dark, aside from the foggy light seeping in through the Maritime's windows. Hundreds of kids sit or lie on the floor in small groups surrounded by bottles of water and munchies purchased downstairs at the Hemp Seed Cafe -- hemp seed chili, hemp seed pizza, hemp seed cookies, etc., all prepared with loving care by chef Evan Rotman. Because the bands are between sets, the more energetic in the crowd make their way past a large table manned by the beefy Long Beach punks from Skunk Records (the punk-funk-surfabilly label founded by Sublime) and slip down into the basement.
In one pitch-black room sprinkled with thousands of tiny, spinning lights, the Gathering has planned a rave. The kids sit, waiting in the dark as the sound system is set up.
"It's still daylight out," says a young woman as she studies a fluorescent flier under black light. "I usually don't drop in daylight." She shrugs, passing me the flier -- which announces the arrival of galactic culture on Earth -- and cruises out into the labyrinth of halls that make up the lower levels of the Maritime. At one end, warm, herbal smells waft out from the spacious, brightly lit, subterranean cafe. A line of hungry critters stretches down the hall, past the dimly lit circular bar where most of the older set has slumped into deep burgundy booths to sip from highball glasses. Mahogany and brass gleam from every surface. Small portholes with nautical scenes painted in them glow above the drinkers' heads.
"Hey dude, look," says a heavy-eyed man to his pal. "It's like being underwater." He chuckles and slugs his friend's shoulder.
Aboveground, three girls sprint down a hallway as if they've just been released from an eighth-grade algebra class. On their way, they bump into a gray-haired woman, who is studying photos pinned up on the Prisoners of the Drug War Wall.
"It's such a shame," she says referring to a mother of two serving 25 years. "I mean it's not like it's cocaine, you know." How true. It's unlikely that there would be a Cocaine Festival.

Dr Abi Pinnock is a Post-doctoral Research Associate – and thesis mentor in the School of Clinical Dentistry, University of Sheffield.
We can start off life thinking that perfection is attainable. From an early age it is fairly easy to achieve 10/10 on spelling and arithmetic tests, but by the time you're in high school getting anything more than 90% seems impossible and as you progress through undergraduate degree this seems to decrease. So by the time we get to postgraduate level can we ever achieve the perfection that we once experienced as normal as children?

Easy Rider in Bizarro World
Meet Clarence Dupnik, the left's unlikely--and unworthy--hero.
(Best of the Tube this weekend: We're discussing the Tucson massacre and its aftermath on "The Journal Editorial Report," Saturday at 2 and 11 p.m. ET on Fox News Channel, and "Fareed Zakaria GPS," Sunday at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN. Now for the bad news: no column Monday, Martin Luther King Day.)
Back in the 1960s, who'd have imagined that a septuagenarian white sheriff from Arizona with a hostility to free speech would one day become a hero to the left?
The other day we observed that Democratic politicians have, for the most part, behaved far better in the wake of the Tucson massacre than has the formerly mainstream media led by the New York Times. One notable exception, however, is Clarence Dupnik, the elected sheriff of Pima County, Ariz.
Dupnik, who has held office since 1980 has identified a wide range of suspects in the attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. One of them is Jared Loughner. He named another in an interview with ABC News:
"The kind of rhetoric that flows from people like Rush Limbaugh, in my judgment he is irresponsible, uses partial information, sometimes wrong information," Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said [Monday]. "[Limbaugh] attacks people, angers them against government, angers them against elected officials and that kind of behavior in my opinion is not without consequences." . . .
"The vitriol affects the [unstable] personality that we are talking about," he said. "You can say, 'Oh no, it doesn't,' but my opinion is that it does."
Loughner was arrested at the scene and charged with the crime. Limbaugh is described as a white male approximately 60 years of age, of average height and stocky build and possessing a "radio voice." He is still at large.
But wait. The same ABC report made clear that Dupnik's "opinion" was speculative fantasy at best: "Investigators have yet to determine what motivated 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner. . . . So far there is no evidence that he has any ties to any political group."
Dupnik made multiple statements drawing connections between conservative "rhetoric" and Saturday's crime. But on Wednesday, as MediaBistro.com notes, ABC aired an interview with Zach Osler, a friend of Loughner, whose comments raise further doubt about Limbaugh's guilt. "He did not watch TV," Osler said of Loughner. "He disliked the news. He didn't listen to political radio. He didn't take sides. He wasn't on the left. He wasn't on the right."
So what's going on here? At a time when most politicians were behaving responsibly, why was Sheriff Dupnik speaking with a reckless disregard for the truth that better befits a New York Times editorialist than a law-enforcement professional?
Perhaps, like the Times, Dupnik has his own institutional interest in a distracting "debate" about the guilt of parties who have nothing to do with the crime. The Arizona Republic reported Wednesday that Dupnik's department was "refusing to release a wide range of public documents about the man charged in Saturday's shooting rampage that left six dead and more than a dozen wounded." Later that day, the Republic reported, the department relented and released "12 sets of incident reports" about police calls to the Loughner home or Jared Loughner's high school.
Tucson blogger James Kelley writes: "Anyone in Law Enforcement or Mental Health in Pima County that ever had contact with Mr. Loughner is now in bunker mode. Everyone is afraid of lawsuits down the road. They are evaluating their behavior and checking to make sure they followed all rules governing the care of Jared Loughner. . . . It is my sincere hope that transparency in the investigation will prevail." Amen.
It's quite possible that Dupnik simply enjoys shooting off his mouth. He was known to do so before Saturday, albeit to considerably less attention from the national press. (We suppose we should note that in May he contributed an op-ed piece to The Wall Street Journal opposing Arizona's immigration law.) But journalists and Arizona lawmakers ought to be pushing for full disclosure of information about Loughner's previous contacts with the Sheriff's Department and other local agencies.
As sheriff, Dupnik knew, or should have known, that his claims about political "rhetoric" having played a role in the shooting were not supported, and perhaps were disproved, by the facts of the investigation. Of themselves, the statements that have made him a hero to some on the left constitute professional negligence.
Shorter Paul Krugman
Uh-oh, Obama's talking about me!
An Actual Case of Violence
MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell has come up with an actual example of the "violent rhetoric" we've been hearing so much about. O'Donnell showed a video Wednesday on "The Last Word," which depicts an election-night incident in San Diego that was reported at the time in the Southwestern College Sun:
Violence erupted at San Diego's Golden Hall Election Central when Congressman Bob Filner was attacked by Republican challenger Nick Popaditch and his supporters. Filner, a Southwestern College reporter and Filner supporters were set upon by a mob of about 100, led by Popaditch. Filner and student journalist Monika Tuncibilek were trapped with their backs to a pillar, surrounded by Popaditch supporters.
At least one member of Filner's entourage was punched in the face. Filner was shoved and spat at as he grabbed the arm [of] Tuncibilek to keep her from being assaulted or injured.
Popaditch led an angry mob that called Filner a "communist" and chanted "Popa-ditch" then later changed the chant to "Bob's-a-bitch."
Popaditch supporters followed Popaditch as he rushed at Filner and his staff as soon as he entered Golden Hall. Filner supporters were overwhelmed by people holding Popaditch signs. Filner was surrounded with his back against a wall as he attempted to make his way to one of the news stations for an interview. Popaditch darted across the hall to get in front of Filner and confronted him.
A Popaditch supporter said the incident was only "one candidate trying to give another a handshake" and that "one ran, one followed." Filner supporters called the Popaditch camp "childish."
At one point a Popaditch supporter punched a member of Filner's camp while Popaditch was seen smiling about 10 feet away. Police eventually established control over the crowd. There were no arrests.
The video, difficult to watch, is considerably more menacing than this written account. It should be noted that spitting and punching cross the line from speech to physical assault, and that some of the Popaditch supporters' speech might well be prosecutable as fighting words, threats or incitement.
There's a world of difference between a politician's exhortation to "fight" and the incitement of an actual fight. Popaditch and his supporters' intolerable conduct puts into perspective the prissy plaints about mere metaphors.
Honorary Terrorist
If the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. For Peter Beinart, Saturday's murders looked like an opportunity to make a point about Islam--a subject that had as much to do with the crime as Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin put together, which is to say zilch.
Beinart wants to declare suspect Jared Loughner an honorary terrorist:
Had the shooters' name been Abdul Mohammed, you'd be hearing the familiar drumbeat about the need for profiling and the pathologies of Islam. But since his name was Jared Lee Loughner, he gets called "mentally unstable"; the word "terrorist" rarely comes up. When are we going to acknowledge that good old-fashioned white Americans are every bit as capable of killing civilians for a political cause as people with brown skin who pray to Allah?
Well, we can think of any number of examples of "white Americans" who committed acts of terrorism: Timothy McVeigh, Ted Kaczynski, Eric Rudolph, Scott Roeder. For that matter, Beinart's contraposition of white and Muslim is bizarre and ignorant. What about John Lindh and Adam Gadahn, both white, both Muslim, both of whom joined up with America's enemies?
But "terrorist" is not a synonym for "mass murderer." Jared Loughner is charged with being the latter, but he is not the former unless--contrary to all available evidence--he turns out to have been politically motivated.
Whereas Beinart wants to declare Loughner an honorary terrorist, Dean Obeidallah, "an award-winning Arab-American comedian," takes precisely the opposite approach, in a CNN.com essay titled "What if Jared Loughner Were a Muslim?":
Why can't a Muslim-American be considered a crazed lone gunman? I'm not a psychiatrist, but I doubt mental illness distinguishes between religions.
Even Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is falsely equating the Saturday killings with terrorism, as Politico reports:
"Based on what I know, this is a criminal defendant who was in some ways motivated by his own political views, who had a particular animus toward the congresswoman," Clinton said in an interview with CNN. "And I think when you cross the line from expressing opinions that are of conflicting differences in our political environment into taking action that's violent action, that's a hallmark of extremism, whether it comes from the right, the left, from Al Qaeda, from anarchists, whoever it is. That is a form of extremism."
The conservative magazine Human Events the other day carried a piece with almost the same headline as Obeidallah's CNN essay: "What if Jared Loughner Was Muslim?" (As an aside, CNN's grammar is superior. Since Loughner isn't Muslim, this calls for the subjunctive mood, not the indicative.) The writer, Tony Lee, contrasts the media's hypercaution about assuming a political or religious motive in the Fort Hood massacre with its reckless speculation about a Tea Party or Sarah Palin connection to the Tucson one.
It's a fine point, but it doesn't go far enough. Imagine if, in the hours immediately following the Tucson crime, journalists had speculated wildly that it was the work of a Muslim terrorist--and if they had continued insinuating that it was connected to Islam and was an appropriate occasion for a debate on Islamic extremism even after the facts became known.
Such an approach would be shameful and scurrilous, notwithstanding that Islamic extremism is a real problem. The media's actual conduct vis-à-vis conservatives has been no less shameful or scurrilous.
Can We Say Sarah Palin Got Swiftboated?
Further evidence of the phoniness of those complaining about Sarah Palin's reference to "blood libel" came on MSNBC's "Hardball" last night, as host Chris Matthews and Newsweek's Jonathan Alter waxed indignant (transcript from Factiva):
Matthews: But now, "blood libel"--why would she say a word like that? I thought she had some people around her with some sophistication about the history of anti-Semitism, some knowledge of what that term might mean in history and wouldn't use it. But she did.
Alter: I mean, what it means historically is accusing Jews of killing Christians and using their blood to make matzo. That`s literally where it comes from. And, you know, it`s been--it's been one of the worst things that you can possibly do to a Jew anywhere in the world for hundreds of years.
So, this is a--going nuclear in terms of language.
First, "going nuclear"? Aren't we supposed to be toning down our rhetoric? Second, as bad as the blood libel is, are Matthews and Alter really unable to think of worse things that have been done to Jews?
NewsBusters.org, however, notes that on Dec. 19, 2000, Matthews and guest Jack Kemp were discussing an NAACP Voter Fund campaign ad "basically blaming [George W.] Bush for the James Byrd horror story," a brutal racist murder that occurred during Bush's tenure as Texas governor. Matthews raised no objection to Kemp's description of it as "a brutal, brutal ad hominem blood libel ad against George W. Bush."
NewsBusters also quotes MSNBC contributor Mike Barnicle as saying in 2006 on the network's "Scarborough Country": "The problem for Kerry here is that two years ago, Joe, he did not talk like that when he was undergoing a blood libel by the Swift Boat people."
Speaking of Kerry, AltTransport.com reports that on Tuesday he "said in a speech at the left-leaning policy think tank Center for American Progress that working in a bipartisan manner on infrastructure and clean energy could help overcome the 'divisive political rhetoric' in the wake of the Tucson tragedy."
This is far from the crassest thing anyone has said over the past week, but it's pretty damn crass, and it's reason to feel relieved that George W. Bush won the 2004 election. Can anyone imagine a President Kerry rising to the occasion the way Barack Obama did Wednesday night?
A Decent Country
Our praise for the president's speech prompted this email from a reader:
Thank you for your recent columns, which have been outstanding. I do have one observation, though. In yesterday's column, you wrote: "Last night, however, [President Obama] committed an act of decency for which Americans can be grateful."
We should be grateful for decency: Isn't that setting the bar awfully low? When our president scales the heights of what should be common civility, to present as a gift something that we expect to receive in the course of everyday life, we have sunk very low indeed.
Here's another way of looking at it: Americans can be grateful to live in a country where we are able, most of the time, to take decency for granted. It has not been always or everywhere so. Like sense, decency is not cheap even when it is common.

"I can't thank them enough"
About: Western General Hospital / General Medicine Western General Hospital General Medicine EH4 2XU
Posted by Alicat1161 (as ),
I was admitted to hospital due to severe cellulitis and an ulcer. While in the hospital I was struck down with a blood clot in my lungs and also the noro virus. I was treated with the utmost respect and care. Having spent around six weeks in hospital you get to see quite a lot in the daily running of the words. I was given physio each day to help get my fitness levels up. I can't remember all the staff nurse send nurses names but I do remember Elaine as she looked after the dressing of my legs, also Fraser. Anyway my point is I can't thank them enough.

Unanswered: Informix Migration/Replication
Can I leverage Db replication to help keep downtime to a minimum during system migration? ...looking for a sanity check here.
Im in the process of migrating a companys legacy enterprise system to new hardware and current version(s) of IDS and 4gl.
The company wants to relocate the new server to a facility in another state before it goes live.
The servers currently reside in the same facility.
Once the new server is in place/sync, the old server will be taken off-line.
(I know there are other steps here but Im looking for a general sanity check)
Im hoping for a little more sophistication rather than just shipping/transmitting backup data to the new server and reloading .
The environment is the classic IDS/4gl legacy set up running on an IBM/AIX platform.
The current production server is running Aix 5.3, IDS 10, 4gl 7.32
The new server is running Aix 6.1, IDS 11.7, 4gl 7.50.
Thanks in advance for your insight.

Hi Steve,
the Informix MACH 11 technology allows you to do this, but you need to be at least running 11.70 xC1 to be able to use the Informix GRID (based on ER)
The grid allows replication between different versions of Informix (minimum 11.70 xC1 and above) and also different OS/hardware platforms.
In your case, to use this techno, you would need a add a first step consisting in migration the 'old' server to 11.70 first of all.
Check this very interesting article: i think this is what you want to do
What data size are we talking about ?

Thanks for the response. And thanks for the link.
From a size stand point my ontape utility creates a 170GB file.
I have 108GB of raw "unloaded" data.
Sounds like replication is not an option unless I upgrade the older server.

True, you must run at least 11.70, but the migration path from 10 is direct. Most important is to check the data integrity and to indentify eventual ALTER IN PLACE statements here (and fix them, no big deal). the rest of the operation is very quick (a few minutes, according to the number of databases of your instance).
When your migration scenario has been well prepared and rehearsed, the process can take 15minutes or less of downtime, according to the number of databases your have in this instance. I have done this several times this year and last year on big instances.
So the first migration step from 10 to 11.70 is not such a big issue. I would still consider it.

When your situation has been well ready and practiced, the procedure can just could have taken 15minutes or less of recovery time, according to the variety of data source you have in this example. I have done this several periods this season and last season with a friend at a scale.

Things are chugging along wonderfully these days. Gigs are flowing for both my duet, Swan & Mikey G, as well as for my band BIG Sexy. I am continuing to improve my guitar and keyboard skills while seeking a drum kit so I can start beating the hell out of it! :) My computer fried-sadly-so I don't have access to my lighting design program, though I was really getting to love using it. Hopefully a new laptop is somewhere around the corner in my very near future. I am working with my projects to get more and more videos recorded and we are working on strengthening our press materials. Any suggestions are always welcome. Hope everyone is loving life and trying their best everyday...its all you really can do! Live with passion!
Well, my last blog post centered on my permanent membership in Makeshift....
Now this band is reformed, re-named, and re-vamped! Check out BIG Sexy on facebook and come see us live. I promise that our energy will get you going! Feel free to send song suggestions as we are in the mood for some great new tunes!
Also, a new side project is in the works. S&Msquared's first gig will be at Honey in Minneapolis on November 19th with primo touring band Crown Point from Portland, OR and our talented local pals, Nature of Waves. Please find S&Msquared and the others on Facebook. Don't miss out on a great show--can't wait to see you!
Finally, I am attempting to broaden my artistic appeal to the world at large and will be creating jewelry from nature! I hope to share it within the next 6 months. If you love nature, please send suggestions and I will do my best to create whatever it is that you can imagine!
What's up internet land? Just popping in quickly to say that after a month of getting to know the band, rehearse a ton of new songs and do a bit of traveling with them, I have finally committed to playing with Makeshift. We plan to share a name change with you soon, so keep your eyes peeled! Its going to be super rad!
The band will be touring all over the Midwest (and hopefully the country--we want to play for our friends everywhere!) We'll be jamming the most awesome dance tunes, rock tunes and maybe even some originals, but that remains to be seen. For now we are playing mostly Wisconsin and Minnesota, but hope to expand our circle to a town near you soon!
What's up ya'll--hope to see you out with me and my new friends Makeshift Rockers. I am in a trial period with them for a while doing Rock Covers, but might be playing full time once I see how things grow. So far its been fun and it never hurts doing something you love for a paycheck! Dates for upcoming shows will be added soon, so check back often! :)
Also, MelloRoar and I are in an overhaul right now. We are working to gain a full time drummer, with a few solid prospects in mind, and have also secured a very pretty lady to add to the mix singing and dancing with me...hopefully you'll be able to meet her at a gig soon, but give us a while to get acquainted! :)
Finally, Mike Green--my cohort from Melloroar--and I have been working to slowly build our duet nights and it would be fun to see you soon. We are playing a whole bunch of fun sing along songs as well as some modified tracks from MelloRoar. We have a gig coming up December 1st at Heartbreakers in Chaska.
Thanks for all of your continuing support--I could never do it without my fans!
All you should ever need to do to improve your life is gain inspiration and knowledge and apply the inspiration and the knowledge to the rest of the time you are lucky enough to be on the planet.
Not enough people are inspired these days...we need to find those people and encourage them to find more beauty in themselves, others and the world around them. Think of the people with amazing talent who are unable to use their skills and desire for artistic perfection; artistry can come in any discipline, whether as a doctor, musician, teacher, janitor, electrician, lawyer, politician or parent, to name a few.
Lets work together to keep inspiring those around us and gaining knowledge to help make the earth a better and more beautiful place for us all to live. Open your own eyes and then help others to open their eyes to life!
In all honesty, as much as I love the music business, its hard damn work for so little pay. So many of us are out there struggling to make a dollar, and its sad; too much talent is being wasted.
I am lucky to have an amazingly supportive gentleman in my life to get me through the tricky financial moments. But that's just it: I am one of a very small number of lucky ones. And there is no guarantee that my working for pennies is ever going to make a substantial splash in the future.
It is disappointing to see so many musicians sacrifice their talent for a 9-5 job. Lets join together to support our working musicians, artists and writers. They encourage the young minds of today to be the innovative minds of the future! And they need to get paid, too!
I urge all of you who read this: Go see as many local shows as you can. For every $60 national act you could spend Your hard-earned money on, you could see 10 or 12 local acts, who will all truly benefit from your neighborly support.
Thanks to all who read this, and many more thanks to those of you who actually get out there and enjoy the local art, music and literature your community has to offer!
After spending a day recording with recording, performance and production aritst Mercies May, I have realized new motivation for the areas I've often left untouched. I am proud of the boundary-crossing recording we worked out together and look forward to more challenges in the future of my musical career. Food for thought: The only way to get into the house is to walk through the door.
Hey there friends!
Even though I already work with several projects, my days still feel empty without some independent, talented women working together to blow the collective minds of the Twin Cities music scene.
I have a drummer/Dj willing to provide the backing, though I would even love stomping & clapping for percussion. I just want the strong clear vocals to shine and for everyone to gain exposure for our various projects by working together to promote each other.
This project is not strictly limited to women, but I am focusing my search around adding females to the overall production vocally and instrumentally. Anyone who is interested can drop me a line.
Keep on singing! Swan

The Jump 2017: WATCH scary moment Amy Willerton CRASHES during skeleton race
AMY WILLERTON has become the most recent celebrity to undergo a terrifying incident on Channel 4's The Jump.
During a skeleton race, which will be shown during tomorrow night's episode, the former Miss Universe ran into serious trouble.
Before she took the plunge down the course, the 24-year-old tried to calm her nerves.
"Wait, wait Marcus, wait. Can I just gather my thoughts for a sec?" she nervously says at the top of the course.
"Ok, so I'm going to enjoy this, right?" asks the beauty.
Amy has become the latest celebrity to undergo a terrifying incident on The Jump
The beauty had to prepare herself before tackling the course
Ok, so I'm going to enjoy this, right?
She is then seen flying down the course at an alarming speed before brutally crashing into a wall.
Amy then appears to glide down the remainder of the course motionless.
Graham Bell, the Former Olympic athlete, commentates: "Amy is on. Big slide. Big slide! She's off! Crashed!"
Someone can be heard yelling after the scary crash: "We need a medic."
The star was determined as she raced down the course
Disaster struck as Amy plunges head first into a wall
Thankfully, Amy recovered from the crash, with a representative from The Jump telling Express.co.uk: "Amy is fine, the clip is a preview from tomorrow night's episode which was filmed a few weeks ago."
This comes just a week after Sir Bradley Wiggins was forced to retire from the competition after suffering a small fracture to his leg.
The former Olympian tweeted: "Seen a specialist, I have a small leg fracture & need to rest for 3/6 weeks. Good news no surgery or cast required."
Vogue Williams was on crutches after suffering an injury during training which ruled her out of the competition before it even started.

Sometimes, I've come to realise, a particular venue counts as much towards the success of a gig as the music that's played there on the night.
For example, take one band (Lau) I saw twice this year in different spaces (City Halls in Glasgow and the Queen's Hall in Edinburgh).
In some ways, the buildings have strong similarities, notably those upper galleries that line three of the four walls. In the shoebox-structured City Halls, the classical baggage that comes with the venue suited the fact that the second half of the folk trio's Celtic Connections concert in early February was performed alongside the Northern Sinfonia.
Loading article content
Strange Attractors, a single 45-minute work composed and conducted by Brian Irvine, took a while to form itself from discordant noises and Lau fragments, but by the time it rose to the occasion with the final two of its five movements, it was another brave and bold undertaking by one of Scotland's most forward-thinking bands, but better fitted the modern classical idiom than anything the folk scene has to offer.
Skip through the calendar to November, and the warmer atmosphere of the Queen's Hall, with round tables replacing the parallel stalls seats, was better matched to a set built around Lau's latest (and best) album, Race The Loser. Here was folk-club ambiance constructed within a converted church space, where the acoustics lent support to the interplay of the instruments.
For the same reasons of acoustics, I wish I'd seen Karine Polwart in the Queen's Hall at the end of her Traces tour rather than in another church conversion, Oran Mor, on the opening date. The sound against the stone walls was rather harsh to my ears, albeit softened by the sentiment and sincerity of the songs themselves.
Both Lau and Polwart's albums are, in my opinion, among the very best of the year, from here or anywhere. Indeed, I've dedicated the vast majority of my listening time in 2012 to albums by Scottish acts (from The Twilight Sad to Jo Mango, Love And Money to We Are The Physics), and subsequently come to believe we're living in a little golden age. More on this when I list my Top 50 Scottish Albums of 2012 in the Sunday Herald on December 30.
Elsewhere on the album front, this was a year during which I was mostly impressed by what the old guard had to offer. The poetic storytelling of Patti Smith on Banga and Bob Dylan on Tempest; the political fire of Ry Cooder on Election Special and Bruce Springsteen on Wrecking Ball; Neil Young's plod through the traditional songbook on Americana and, ehm, Neil Young's trot through new material on Psychedelic Pill – all contained good and bad, but came with a sense of experience won over the decades.
Head and shoulders above them all, however, and the album from a veteran that's likely to stand the test of time, was Old Ideas by Leonard Cohen. With a voice worn by circumstance and a lyrical stance strengthened by the accumulated wit and wisdom of his 78 years, this was a collection of songs that could only have been written by someone so long in the tooth.
Will Oldham, aka Bonnie Prince Billy, is barely half as old as Cohen but he has already amassed a larger body of work. Various gems from within this ever-growing treasure trove emerged to shine in the light at the Old Fruitmarket back at the start of the year, in what is undoubtedly one of the best gigs I've ever attended.
As Oldham's quirkily shy persona was put to the test by some off-the-cuff remarks from the Glasgow crowd (an offer to suck the red wine stain from his white shirt caused a genuine double-take), he held us spellbound in this cavernous standing space.

I'd say there are less video cards that fail to run on X 4.1 than there are video hardware Windows never has a chance of supporting (read: big SGI coolness) Hey, guest what, most of the odd drivers that *don't* work at 100% don't work in 4.2 either, because the hardware companies didn't release specs. If you have one of the 3 chipsets only supported in 4.2, there is nothing stopping you from installing that. Except that you are instead mucking around spouting ideas straight from your ass on a mailing list, instead of learning how to do what you need to (i.e., build X). > > > I think Debian should put all its resources right at the moment into a > > freeze first of all. > > So, Debian has a fixed number of developers, all working at 100%?

And Free Software should also have the advantage of not having assholes shove their values down the developers' throats with absolutely no contributions of their own. Give me, and everyone else, one good reason why we should listen to your ideas? Why we should get rid of a developer that made better X packages than any other distro? Why Debian can't want a moment longer for X 4.2, instead of letting the dumbasses flood the low-quality distros? > > > Nobody is stopping you building your own version of XF86 4.2 debs and > > putting them up on a web page, or encouraging/paying other people to > > I guess you didn't read my original message: the problem is that I know > next to nothing about Debian. That's obvious. If you don't know anything about Debian, how in all the fucking hells do you expect to be able to "encourage" developers to make better packages? You do *NOT* understand a single goddamn thing you are talking about. You know this. We know this. Why the hell can't you accept that?

Also, if Branden > is working on 4.1.0, why doesn't someone else do 4.2.0? Sounds like two > separate projects to me. Why the hell would we want a sub-par package in Debian? You said you are willing to pay a developer to package X4.2... go ahead and do so. That shitty package won't be in Debian, but you can use it. Now isn't important. Stability is. I've used "now" based distros, and guess what? They crash and lockup a *lot*. (that being once a week or so, which is a lot for me.) You are fully free to use one of them instead of Debian. > > What comes to encouraging other people - guess what I'm doing right now. Encouraging them to what? Again, you have no idea what the hell you are talking about, as you stated yourself. Learn what the hell you're talking about *first*, then try to "help" the project.

What you "believe" testing or unstable for is irrelevant. If you want to know what they *are* for, it's clearly documented on the Debian website, which it seems you have read much on. Remove your head from your ass, go to the website, and try this thing called learning for a bit. > > Other platforms aren't nearly as significant as i386 (not many users, no > much new hardware). I don't recall this being named Debian GNU/Linux x86. Debian is multi-platform by nature. That's how it works. If you don't like it, there are plenty of x86 only distros out there for you to annoy the hell out of. > > > So what if he names you? > > Then I'll be spending lot of time in the local library, trying to learn > how *nix/Debian work, and the release will take forever. Bad choice, really. Here's an idea - learn how Linux and Debian work *before* you start trying to make technical decisions regarding the packaging of X. > > > Surely this is a troll? > > Nope, I'm for real. Maybe a bit provocative, but for real. And that is funniest part of it all. You're actually that clueless. Since you seem to be too dense to understand any of the other replies you've gotten, I'm not going to bother to try to clarify the technical points made by the others. If your brain starts working properly, you should be able to understand them yourself. I subscribe to the tough love philosophy, and thought maybe if someone made an effort to point you are a clueless moron who has no fucking idea what he's talking about, you'd perhaps try to correct that severe deficiency by learning, be it by reading books, the Debian website, or the replies on this list. > > - Tronic - > > </massive uncharacteristic flamage> There, now that's out of my system, I can expect getting yelled at for being an ass, more fucking retarded replies from Mr. Know-It-All "Tronic" (how cute) himself, and otherwise being lowly thought of.

For me, Art speaks in ways more than one- writing, photography, Broadcasting, drawings and paintings, editing, music and so on.
This is a personal space for me to express myself through words, pictures, fashion and so on. Did I add that I love food? lol, that's a story for another day.
My Brain and mind have birthed Tosinolaniyi.com, a YouTube channel, several articles, songs, poems and so many more platforms as routes of expression.

Excellent quality! The size was bigger than expected but I had it tucked in the size required. My daughter absolutely loves it! Great bargain for junior bridesmaids dresses in this amazing quality. Shipping was pricey but if you intend to buy more than 2 dresses, it's worth it! Thank you, I'm impressed

When Home Schoolers Apply To Colleges
November 11, 1999
How do youths who have been educated at home by their parents fare when they apply to colleges and universities? After all, they lack the kinds of credentials that students from public and private schools routinely provide. That makes it difficult for admissions officials to evaluate them.
By and large, however, the officials welcome them and try to treat them fairly, observers report. Schools are developing guidelines for analyzing home-schoolers -- frequently relying on standardized tests, such as the SAT.
- Estimates of the numbers of those taught at home last year vary from 1.1 million to 1.7 million -- with the growth rate estimated at 5 percent to 15 percent.
- Sean Callaway, a college placement adviser at Pace University and a home-schooling parent, advises other parents to document everything -- including reading lists, participation in civic programs and volunteer work.
- Also, he recommends visiting home-schooling fairs, where colleges that are home-schooler friendly often set up booths, and contacting colleges early in the process since many admissions offices don't know how to find home-schoolers.
Finally, in the application, the parents should include a letter explaining why they chose home instruction and prepare the student for the same question in interviews.

David Pike has kindly offered these transcriptions of the township residents for 13 townships in Wellington County. I have arranged them in table format for, I hope, easy searching. If you have questions please contact David Pike by email at firstname.lastname@example.com, as I do not have any of the source documents.
Wellington County Directory and Gazetteer 1867 Ontario, Canada originally published by Irwin and Burnham Publishers These files are intended as a exact transcription of the thirteen townships listed in the 1867 Wellington County Directory. The transcription was done solely by David Pike from a copy of the directory owned by the Regional Collection, D.B. Weldon Library, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario. Their permission to use the directory is hereby acknowledged with thanks. While every effort has been made to assure the complete, error-free preparation of this transcription, the author accepts no responsibility for any possible consequences steming from any errors and ommissions in either this publication or in the original directory. Please be aware that the original directory was transcribed 'as is' with no attempt to correct even obvious errors in that original. Spellings may disagree with other sources; some entries included no Lot and Concession numbers; some lacked freeholder/householder designations and most did not have occupations listed. None of the entries in Maryborough included occupation. Surnames were not always in alphabetical order, the original order is retained here. The township boundaries in Wellington County have changed since 1867. The eastern halves of Luther and Garafraxa, and all of Amaranth townships are now within Dufferin County. Abbreviations

Court blocks bid by police to learn suspect''s HIV status
Copyright 2001 LRP Publications
AIDS Policy and Law
BOSTON -- A Massachusetts man does not have to reveal his HIV status to police officers who were spattered with his blood during a violent confrontation, a justice on the state''s highest court ruled Feb. 15.
Justice Martha B. Sosman, who heard the case during an emergency single-justice session of the Supreme Judicial Court, said current state law clearly states that a person cannot be forced to disclose his HIV status.
While police officers may have a compelling desire to know if the man was infected when they shot and struggled with him in the course of an arrest Jan. 22, the law provides absolute confidentiality for HIV tests without exception.

Grapple the Blessing
- Artist: Magma Grapple
- Genre: Rap/Hip Hop
- Release Date: 5/20/2008
This is an album that personifies an attitude of rebellion against the ways of this world. It brings a classic hip hop sound. There is also some unique production. There's worship. There's even some spoken word. All the while the central theme is to never let go of God. Magma's devotion is to hold on to the things of God and never to let go no matter what the circumstance. In this and through this one can see how God honors the heart of a believer. This life is hard. It's a struggle. Living it for God makes it that much more difficult and yet so much more rewarding. The blessing of living this life for Christ is to know that He'll never leave you nor forsake you. It is up to us to stay focused and in this God will recieve true and ultimate glory! Buy the album and support a ministry that is out preaching the gospel from the streets, to the prisons, to the schools, to the burbs...it doesn't matter. We are all in need of Christ and this album will continuously place Him at the forefront. Support this ministry. Sow into the kingdom of God. Thank You, Magma Grapple.

On June 8th My husband and I embarked on a romantic cruise to the Eastern Caribbean. After an altercation with a (self-professed insane) passenger we tried to contact security. Nothing was ever done. We were terrorized by this passenger for the remainder of our vacation. Security was nowhere to be seen. Please help me spread the work that this cruise line has no way to deal with dangerous passengers so the same thing doesn't happen again.

Dear Carnival, take me seriously!
I appreciate you taking the time to email me however, your response to my concerns seems to follow the tone that I have received from your company since the very beginning of this ordeal, that being pleasant indifference. I find your email wholly inadequate.
I am surprised to read that you are assuming that this incident happened "because you can sometimes have challenges when combining people of different backgrounds." That you would assume the interested parties were from different backgrounds is interesting alone. Please remember that we needed to be rescued by another (former officer) passenger and this was not a simple exchange of angry words. My husband and I were taunted and threatened by a self-confessed bi-polar individual who was barking and growling at us like a wild animal.
To date, I have yet to have someone take the time to speak with me, to find out exactly what happened. I was brushed aside by your staff on the ship and I believe that your email is another half-hearted attempt to make me go away without actually having to deal with the issues I have raised. That you would even say to me that you are looking forward to seeing me aboard another "Fun Ship" says to me that you are not taking me seriously. Clearly, the safety and well-being of your guests is not your top priority.
Thank you,

Carnival can learn a thing or two about customer relations. What they do not realise is that their business depends on repeat travellers. I have taken four cruises with Carnival, but just took my last one the week of July 25. I am discouraging all my family and friends to boycott them too. Don't hold your breath waiting for a response from them because you are not going to get on.ReplyDelete
I agree with you that Carnival does not care about what happens to their guests. My boyfriend and I went on a cruise about a year ago and we turned over our bags to security. When we got to our room, my boyfriends bag had been rummaged through and his ipod and cologne were missing. We reported it to security and they asked us to fill out a lost item report. We kept telling them, it is not lost, one of your employees stole it. We filled out numberous comment cards to no avail. We did fill out the lost item report and we received a generic letter back stating they were not able to locate our lost items. Of course they couldn't, IT WAS STOLEN!!! Yes, in hind sight we should have kept our valuables on us, but when you are trusting a company such as Carnival to protect you and your belongings, you wouldn't think you would have to. We now know the truth about Carnival.ReplyDelete
Kimberly you should have an attorney send Carnival a letter, even if you do not want money from this incident, that will get their attention. The part of your story that I might have misunderstood is that the man's family also taunted you. I can understand a person that is mentally ill exhibiting such behavior, but not also his family. Could you clarify this point, as this should make a difference with how Carnival should have reacted.ReplyDelete
As someone with autism, I can tell you that there is no way in hell, meds or no meds, I'd act like that colossal jerk did. The fact that he could tell you about his condition raises a red flag that he's using his disability as an excuse to abuse people and/or take advantage of them.ReplyDelete
I agree - get a lawyer!

Idaho Day 3: Whitewater!
Every good bike tour has one key ingredient: a rest day. This one may have preserved my cycling habit after yesterday's urge to exchange cycling for life on the sofa. But a prime rib dinner and a good night's rest yielded a morning of new energy.
Being that our campsite was beside Jackson Hole, Wyoming, there was just one rest recipe for me: whitewater Continue reading
Idaho Day 2: The Worst Wind, Wyoming
A fierce and unrelenting headwind resisted every pedal stroke as we attempted eighty miles of flats, climbs and rollers enroute from Ririe, Idaho to Hoback Junction, Wyoming. After fifty miles I was fatigued and famished. At sixty I struggled to recall why I started biking. At seventy I was beginning to think that "sagging" Continue reading
Idaho Day 1: Flats, Gravel, "Try to Keep Up!"
We are at it again. Bike tour number two – stateside this time. It's my first vacation in the northwestern state of Idaho. We started in the rural southeastern town of Blackfoot, self proclaimed potato growing capital of the world. A wee bit of irony given I just returned from Ireland last month.
Our first mission: bike 60 miles north and then east to Ririe, an even smaller town (population sub 650). I thought I'd share the three challenges I faced Continue reading

Spring has its Price: Rain
Some days you don't see it coming. Some days it looms ominous but yields only grayness. And some days it reigns over your best-laid plans. Rain: drizzly, shower-y, intermittently, steady or downright heavy; in any form – we love it and we hate it. As a cyclist, I do my best to avoid it.

WE have been watching another couple of cubs growing up at the hyena den. I must say that I adore these little guys, they are so so cute. I have quite a history with this den and this clan. When my son, Joshua, was six years old he came down to Djuma with me on a filming trip. We were testing some new gadgets that we were going to use in a film for National Geographic in the Serengeti (where Emily and I fell in love). One of the gadgets was a small remotley controlled 'tank' that we planned to manouver into the den, with it's attached Infra Red camera. We hoped that it would show us a glimpse of the cubs world deep inside the termitarian. First we had to wait for the parents to go off hunting. So we waited and waited. We were parked just outside the den in a vehicle that you all know as the Jiga, but then it still had it's roof. :) I sat on the roof and watched and waited, while Josh slept inside ... it took hours for the parents to leave, but when they did, I woke up Josh and together we steered the little 'tank' down into the den through the entrance ... and there they were ... two little tiny cubs ... tucked far down a little side passage. It was adorable and certainly worth the long wait.
The 'tank' went on to film several hyena dens in the Serengeti and produced some amazing footage which is still used by National geographic in some of their African promos.
Here are some seekpoints to moments WE have spent with these special creatures recently:
continued ...
New tiny hyena pup... some may be choppy feed but great sighting
This one I had to include.... when Rexon came upon the hyenas that had stolen a drum. LOL
Well enjoy the hyena clan, cubs and den. Pieter is back from leave and Lieschen has joined WE, but more about that later.

A tribute to Demo
Over time Demo has become one of my favourite characters in this whole series. It's very sad that he gets so little attention (from both the comic team and the fans it seems). That's why I decided to make a small appreciation post about what I like about him.
Let's start with chapter 1: Gray Mann took over Mann Co. and fired all mercs. Most of them went into hiding or just moved on with their lives:
Scout: Helped Soldier and then wanted to get his money from the bank before vanishing. Ended up in prison though.
Soldier: Was kicked out of his castle and then started working as a tourist guide.
Pyro: Apparently became the CEO of a freaking engineering company??
Heavy: Returned to his family in Siberia.
Engie: Disappeared and took care of the Administrator.
Medic: Started working for a different team.
Sniper: Went back home to Australia and then started looking for his birth parents.
Spy: Wanted to go underground for a while. Ended up in prison with Scout unfortunately.
But what does Demo do? Nothing. He is depressed and unable to move on with his life. This job was everything to him.
He seems to drink even more than usual and completely lets himself go, not caring for anything.
And now look at him when Miss Pauling is giving him his job back.
Look at his face: He is so genuinely happy and blissful when he is offered to join the gang again. Totally changed from one second to the next! :D
Another thing to notice about Demo is that he doesn't bear grudges against his friends, no matter how shitty they may treat him.
Sniper knocks him out and then wants to throw him into a shallow grave!
But who is the one who supports Sniper after he got shot by the TFC mercs? Demo.
In Chapter 6 Medic joins his old comrades in battle again.
Medic betrayed the team and got Sniper killed, but he brought him back to life later - and that's all that matters to Demo. He also doesn't really mind Medic cutting pieces of his brain out.
(Don't forget, he also immediately forgave his liver for leaving him.
DemoxLiver = OTP lol)
Look how happy and enthused he is to be back in action and to blow things up. This guy loves his work!
Look how happy he is to be reunited with his team. This guy loves his friends!
He is the only one of the mercs who visibly cares for the others and is happy to work with them. And that's why I love him. :)

The no. 1 German beer brewed using a technique dating back to 1516.
Founded in 1873, the world-renowned authentic German beer is crafted according to the Reinheitsgebot (Purity Law) promulgated in 1516, where four ingredients are used, including high quality water, German barley, hops and yeasts. The exclusive proprietary yeast contributes to the beer's unique barley fragrance and refreshing sweetness that is loved all over the world. With more than a century of heritage, this is also the most exported German beer sold in over 100 countries worldwide. Production of the standard lager has been relocated to the cutting-edge facilities in Fujian, China.
